what the president has to say. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in washington. be back here at 5:00 p.m. eastern in "the situation room." brooke baldwin picks up our brooke baldwin picks up our coverage right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com revealing american secrets to wikileaks learns hispwhat brad meap means means top what b meap means means t leakers . i'm brook bald win. the news is now. did you see that? r >> whp >> wh >> what propappropane plant to expl dark of night? jail break. p he crawlhe crawled out jail break. p he crawlhe crawled ou of a get away car. >> plus, it's hardfor us to think about a child getting sick. a young child was enjoying her summer at a water park but now she's fighting for her life as a pair a site attacks her brain. and a couple wins on a game
11:01 am
show. their prize? a baby. wait until you hear what's behind that surprise. good to be with you here. i'm brooke baldwin. just a short time ago big, big news breaking. a military judge acquitted the army's bradley manning of the most serious count against him. bradley manning not guilty of aiding the enemy. the judge convicted manning of a number of lesser charges for the largest leak of u.s. secrets in history. some 700,000 classified documents and videos and they included this nose cone video shot in iraq in 2007. it shows a helicopter attack on a group of men in at least which two civilians were cleared.
11:02 am
let's be clear, manning faces years in prison for convictions of violating the espionage act. our chief washington correspondent, host of "the lead" jay tapper. from maryland, pentagon correspondent, chris lawrence. i would like to begin with you. you were in the room. tell me about the moment the verdict was read and private first class bradley manning's reaction. >> reporter: well, brooke, you know, we were sitting literally just a few feet away from bradley manning when the judge you theer uttered the two words, not guilty. the charge of aiding the enemy that could have sent him to prison for life without parole. he showed about no emotion at that moment. he looked straight ahead. in fact, he sort of carried himself with a military bearing through much of the trial and today, snapping to attention when the judge entered the room, but later after the 5-minute hearing was ending i looked at
11:03 am
him as he was turning to his lawyer and talking briefly with his lawyer and there was a slight smile on his face, a slight smile possibly of relief even though he's facing some very, very serious charges, the most serious he has been acquitted of, brooke. >> chris, let me stay with you. when you look through and you think about the videos and the documents, the leaks, the dossiers, 700,000 plus, among them battlefield reports from iraq and afghanistan, you had u.s. embassies abroad and the state department. the real question i had is did the prosecution ever offer any specific evidence as far as damage, damage the leaks might have done to national security? >> reporter: it's a great question. it probably goes almost directly to that charge of aiding the enemy, brooke. there were two parts to this trial, the part conducted publicly that we could view and the part conducted privately in secret that dealt with the private, class side material that could not be privy to the public. the prosecutor, the government
11:04 am
never publicly produced any real evidence that real damage was done to national security above and beyond the embarrassment to state department officials because of the revelations of what they had said in some of these cables, the embarrassment to pentagon officials but no real evidence of serious harm -- specific harm to national security. in fact, the prosecutors have been claiming they couldn't release a lot of these documents because they were confidential, that the request was too broad. just last month the judge agreed with the defense and ordered prosecutors if they had it to hand over specific evidence, documents relating to specific damage to national security. >> okay. chris, thank you. jake, here's my other big question because really if you read the papers this morning, the headlines, this could be precedent setting for information that is leaked that is given to investigative journalists. let me read you something. this is what we saw on
11:05 am
wikileaks. they tweeted bradley manning's convictions relate to espionage. basic guide to honest reportage, manning has not been found guilty but he has been convicted of supplying information to the press. i mean, are there -- it goes both ways, i suppose, because he's acquitted of the heaviest offense that could have sent him to life in prison yet at the same time are journalists fully breathing that sigh of relief? >> well, as you say, the charge of aiding the enemy because of the idea, the concept that by providing information national security, confidential or secret information to the press the enemy can read it. the idea that he was acquitted of that charge is significant because that would basically say that any reporter who prints a state secret or a national secret because of the idea that a member of al qaeda could pick up the paper or go on the
11:06 am
internet and read it, that is aiding the enemy, that was chilling. we still are in a world where the obama administration is using the espionage act more aggressively than all other administrations before when it comes to going after people who leak national security secrets to the press and even though bradley manning, private manning is not facing the charge, was not convicted of the charge of aiding the enemy, based on the 20 charges he was found guilty of, he whas 130 years of prison combined so this is not a significant finding against private manning. >> i think it's important to point out in the court marshals it's in two phases. we know the verdict. phase two begins tomorrow morning is his sentencing. i can't help but look at you. i'm thinking of his interview that i know you have on your show, i believe you're talking to the father of ed snowden today and that conversation,
11:07 am
sort of omnipresent as we talk about bradley manning. granted, that would play out in a civilian courtroom if and when he ever returns to the united states, but it's sort of a pervasive theme, right? this idea of espionage and serious charges. >> the idea of individuals who are finding troubling what the u.s. government is doing, leaking the information to the press, leaking it to activists such as julian assange and wikileaks and facing the music. yeah, we will talk to lon snowden, the father of edward snowden to get his reaction. brooke, one of the things you said was very significant when you asked chris about what national security damage there has been. there was some information that that was in osama bin laden's k30u7 compound. when the wikileaks happened years ago the white house and obama administration said this would mean that all of the afghans and all of the iraqis named in these wikileaks, named from battlefield reports as
11:08 am
being cooperative, as working with u.s. authorities, that their lives were at risk and that was something that i think a lot of journalists took very seriously, i have asked the administration a number of times can they point to one example, even not telling me the name of the person, even not telling me any specifics that would bring out that person's idea, but can you give me any, any proof could that actually happen? >> what did they say? >> they could not or they have not been able to prove one, point to one example of somebody who was hurt. that's not to say it didn't happen. >> right. >> but it is to say that the administration tends to take the position, as do all administrations really in saying, trust us. we know best. we know what's going on. we don't have to provide you with information to prove the claims that we're making and is he right now i don't know. i can't say that all of those warnings, even one of them came to fruition. >> jake tap injuper. thank you for that. we look forward to that on "the
11:09 am
lead." on this program, 50,000 tanks of propane like the tanks you have on your grill in the backyard explode into this giant fireball. stunning video from the scene. more on that story and a possible cause. plus, happening right now just up the road from us in chattanooga, tennessee, you have the president. this is his fifth speech on the economy in seven days. what is this grand bargain that he is offering to republicans ahead of perhaps a budget fight this fall? and how might republicans feel about these words? that's coming up next. you really couldn't have come at a better time.

11:12 am
but for all these symptoms, you also take kaopectate. new kaopectate caplets -- soothing relief for all those symptoms. kaopectate. one and done. as promised, let me take you to chattanooga, tennessee. there's the president. he's getting ready to pitch congress on this grand bargain on jobs. he'll suggest cutting corporate tax rates, something republicans have wanted all the while asking congress to make more investments. details are sketchy at this point. the back drop by amazon.com, huge distribution center. keep in mind this is the world's largest online retailer. they just announced adding 7,000 jobs ahead of the president. let's listen. >> these are projects vital to our national pride. we're going to be breaking
11:13 am
ground this week at the st. louis arch. you know, congress should pass what i've called my fix it first plan, to put people to work immediately on our most urgent repairs, like the 100,000 bridges that are old enough to qualify for medicare. that will create good middle class jobs right now. right now. and we should partner with the private sector to upgrade what businesses like amazon need most. we should have a modern air traffic control system to keep planes running on time. we should have modern power grids and pipelines to survive a storm. we should have modern schools to prepare our kids for the jobs of tomorrow. number three, we need to keep creating good jobs and energy in
11:14 am
wind, solar, natural gas. those new energy sources are reducing energy costs, they're reducing dangerous carbon pollution, they're reducing our dependence on foreign oil. so now's not the time to gut investments in american technology, now's the time to double down on renewable energy, bio fuels, electric vehicles, and to put money into the research that will shift our cars and trucks off oil for good. and let me tell you, cheaper costs of natural gas is a huge boost to our businesses here in america. so we should develop it even more. we've got to do it in a way that protects our air and water for our children and future generations. we can do that. we've got the technology to do it. number four, we've got to export more. we want to send american goods all around the world.
11:15 am
a year ago i signed a new trade agreement with korea because they were selling a lot of hyundais here but we weren't selling a lot of gm cars over there. since we signed that deal our big three automakers are selling 18% more cars in korea than they were. so now we've got to help more of our businesses do more of the same thing. i'm asking congress for the authority to negotiate the best trade deals possible for our workers and combine it with robust training and assistance measures to make sure our workers have the support and the skills they need for this new global competition. and we're going to have to sharpen our competitive edge in the global job marketplace. you know, two years ago we created something called select u.s.a. this is a coordinated effort to attract foreign countries to
11:16 am
create jobs here in the united states. today i'm directing my cabinet to expand these efforts. this october i'm going to bring business leaders from around the world and i'm going to connect them to state leaders and local leaders like your mayor who are ready to prove there is no better place to do business than right here in the united states of america. number five, let's help more than -- let's do more to help the more than 4 million long-term unemployed americans that are out there. you know, one of the problems that happens is a lot of folks, they lose their jobs during this really bad recession through no fault of their own. they've got what it takes to fill that job opening but because they've been out of work so long, employers won't even give their application a fair look.
11:17 am
so i'm challenging ceos to do more to get these americans back on their feet, and i'm going to bring together the ceos and companies that are putting in place some of the best practices for recruiting, training, hiring workers who have been out of work for a long time but want a chance to show that they're ready to go back to work. and, you know, at the same time i'm calling on our businesses to do more for their workers. you know, amazon is a great example of what's possible. what you're doing here at amazon with your career choice program pays 95% of the tuition for employees who want to earn skills in fields with high demand, not just, by the way, jobs here at amazon but jobs anywhere. computer aided design or nursing. i talked to jeff basos yesterday. he was so proud of the fact that
11:18 am
he wants to see every employee at amazon continually upgrade their skills and improve. if they've got a dream they want to pursue, amazon wants to help them pursue it. that's the kind of approach that we need from america's businesses. you know, offering training programs, health care, retirement plans, paying better wages. that's not just the right thing to do, it's actually good for your bottom line. a recent study shows that when a company makes the list of the 100 best companies to work for in america, its share price outperforms its competitors. the stock market and investors know if a company has employees that are motivated and happy, that business is more likely to succeed. that business is more likely to succeed.
11:19 am
and because nobody who works full time in america should have to live in poverty, i'm going to keep on making the case and fighting for the fact that we need to raise our minimum wage because right now it's there for the working people. you know, when folks have more money in their pockets, that's good for amazon. it means your customers have a little more money. they can order a little more of that protein powder. i noticed a lot of folks were ordering protein powder. folks are trying to get buffed up. so here's -- those are some of the ideas that we're out there, we're promoting. we're not lacking for ideas. we're just lacking action,
11:20 am
especially out of washington. for most of the past two years washington has just taken its eye off the ball when it comes to the middle class. and i'll tell you, look, there are a growing number of -- the good news is there are a growing number of republican senators who are trying to work with democrats to get some stuff done. that's good news. the bad news is that rather than keep our focus on what should be our priority which is growing our economy and creating good middle class jobs, we've seen a certain fraction hurt a fragile recovery by saying they wouldn't pay the very bills that congress racked up in the first place, threatening to shut down the people's government if they can't get rid of obama care instead of reducing our deficits with a scalpel, they get rid of programs that we don't need and
11:21 am
keep vital investments that we do. this same group has kept in place this meat cleaver called the sequester that is just slashing all kinds of important investments in education and research, our military. all things that are needed to make this country a magnet for good middle class jobs, those things are being cut. and these moves don't just hurt our economy in the long term, they hurt our middle class right now. the independent congressional budget office estimates that the cuts that are being made right now in washington will cost our economy 750,000 jobs this year, 900,000 fewer jobs next year. and a lot of the jobs at risk are at small businesses that contract with our military or our federal agencies. over the past four years another 700,000 workers at the federal, state, and local levels of
11:22 am
government have lost their jobs. these are cops, firefighters. about half of them are people who work in our schools. those are real jobs. it doesn't help a company like amazon when a teacher, a cop, a firefighter loses their job. they don't have money to place an order. that's hundreds of thousands of customers who have less money to spend. if those layoffs had not happened, if public sector employees grew like they did the past two recessions, the unemployment rate would be 6.5 instead of 7.5. our economy would be much better off and the deficit would still be going down because we'd be getting more tax revenue. so the point is if washington spent as much time and energy these past two years figuring out how to grow our economy and grow our middle class as it spent manufacturing crises in pursuit of a cut at all costs approach, we'd be much better off. we'd be much better off.
11:23 am
it's not like we have to cut our deficits. as a share of the economy, we've cut our deficit by half. there's a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it and we should do it in a way that actually helps middle class families instead of hurts them. i have told republicans if they're serious about a balanced, long-term fiscal plan that replaces harmful budget cuts that would get serious about a long-term plan that prevents the 900,000 jobs from being lost, that helps grow the economy, that helps the middle class, i am ready to go, but we can't lose sight of our north star. we can't allow an impasse over long-term fiscal challenges to
11:24 am
distract us from what the middle class needs right now. so here's the bottom line. we have a grand bargain. how about a grand bargain for middle class jobs. how about a grand bargain for middle class jobs? and there you hear it. the two words we were waiting for. the two words that the white house had said the president would be uttering here at this amazon distribution center. grand bargain. specifically a grand bargain for the middle class. we sat here a week ago and saw him speaking in another city. this is the fifth speech on the american economy that the president of the united states has given in seven days. he wants to grow jobs. he wants to grow the middle class. we've heard this ever since he was running for president. we want to have a whole conversation on what this means and what this means as we head into the fall. we bring in gloria borger and christine romans. gloria, since we've been hearing
11:25 am
about the president talking about the republicans trying to perhaps get a jump on what could, you know, let's call it a possible kerfuffle budget wise this fall, what is the olive branch specifically that the president is offering? >> he's calling it a grand bargain. i'm telling you, the republicans don't think it's grand. they're saying it's no bargain. so what the president is saying is, look, we all want to reduce the corporate tax rate. that's been discussed. but it's been discussed in the context of overall tax reform. i think the clear feeling at the white house is that you're not going to get tax reform so what they're saying is, okay, let's reduce the corporate tax rate but let's get the revenues we get, the sort of one-time windfall from doing this in the short term and let's plow that money into fixing infrastructure in this country or job creation in some other way. so he's saying to republicans, okay, i'm going to do that but i'm going to spend this money on things that need to be done and
11:26 am
republicans are saying, not so fast. >> christine, what did you make of the points he made? he ticked off one through five. he said we want to get ceos and businesses to create jobs. what jumped out at you. >> i've heard this before. i really have. in talking to the ceos he had a jobs council that was quietly disbanded. he urged them to spend money and create jobs. he was urging ceos to attack long-term unemployment, that they need help to get people out of work for six months out of the workplace. we haven't seen that. i'm seeing from the president a lot of proposals i've heard before. put together and positioned, postured for the kerfuffle that we're going to see from the congress later this fall. he talked about some things you can get some republicans behind. enhancement to the power grid, air traffic control upgrades, infrastructure, bridges, stuff like that. those are things that people can get behind and think we can
11:27 am
create jobs, invest in the economy at the same time. the politics of it and putting it together with corporate tax reform, that's what's new. >> okay. so as we hear about these possible things, jessica yellen let me bring you in. i'm listening to these ladies. we've heard these proposals before. we've heard these ideas. what is this about, jessica yellen? we know they want to cut the corporate tax rates. the president is trying to get a jump this fall. is he trying to be a hero for the middle class, is that what this is? >> reporter: you've got it, brooke. what he's trying to do is frame the discussion about debt and spending before it happens so that it's not just about big numbers and it's not about the size of our deficit and the size of our debt exclusively, it's also about what do americans want the money to be spent on? and so he's trying to get ahead of that conversation and talk about priorities and talk about things like investing in jobs that can create higher wages down the line so that he can
11:28 am
be -- his values and priorities are a piece of the conversation. there are complications in it because, for example, he's visiting the kind of place that creates lower wage jobs and so there's all sorts of, you know, noise in the background around his message. but the megaphone here is about do you want investment and do you want it to be about jobs or do you only want to talk about shrinking government in the future? >> so much we have already heard and more to come. more to come. jessica yellen, christine romans, gloria borger. thank you very much. want to get to a story breaking right now. getting word to cnn that a car has crashed into a day care, into a day care. reports of serious injuries. emergency crews are on the way. more on that after the break. ♪ [ male announcer ] it's a golden opportunity to discover a hybrid from the luxury car company
11:29 am
11:31 am
11:32 am
know at least one vehicle slammed into this christian academy child care day center. let me say that again if you're in the area. the christian academy child care day center. according to sergeant barns with kansas city, pd. some children have been injured. i don't know how many or how severe. she said police units were headed to the scene of this accident here in kansas city. the call came in just about 40 minutes ago. now we're getting some live pictures. you and i are looking at this together for the very first time. it looks like one suv and a number of emergency vehicles already on scene. the wall and a massive hole in this wall. one question i have, obviously the age range of these kids. when you think about the time of day, that's a full day care. this is in the middle of the day. no one seems to be rushing about too quickly. but, again, this happened about 40 minutes ago.
11:33 am
hopefully they were able to get all of the teachers, the staff, the young kids from that day care center treated and hopefully they're a-okay. as soon as we get more information on this day care center, christian academy child care center in kansas city, we will pass that along to you. meantime, eight florida factory workers are hurt suffering from burns, choking on gas and smoke. a sea of propane gas cylinders, 53,000 of them scattered across the yard. this is the trail of destruction that was left behind after a series of massive explosions blew the roof off the blue rhino gas plant in florida sending this huge fireball up into the sky. >> she walked outside and just screamed at me. there's something exploding out here. i came out and i looked and
11:34 am
stood on the corner of my street. if you stood on the corner, you could see like through houses, you could see the building just like on fire and propane tanks just shooting up into the sky and exploding. >> cnn's adrian na houser is at the scene there in tavaras, florida. adriana. >> reporter: good afternoon, brooke. the scene here is different than the dramatic scene we saw late last night. the fire has been put out. we have confirmation from fire chief richard keith that the fire is completely out. he also said that eight people had been injured initially we reported seven. there is eight people in local hospitals. we don't know the nature of those injuries. we don't know the extent of those injuries. we also know that 20 emergency workers responded. 60 firefighters also responded to the scene. not one injury among the responders. so this community is actually
11:35 am
relieved because this situation could have been a lot worse. now the attention focuses on the investigation, and they're starting to emerge some clues. >> we don't think that there was any act of sabotage or anything like that. we honestly think it was probably an equipment failure with the combination of maybe human error from one of the staff. >> reporter: brooke, authorities here in tavares said about 53,000 canisters of propane were inside the facility at the time of the explosion. we were able to actually tour the facility and we saw piles and piles of cylinders, some of them scattered, some of them had obviously exploded. and as you approached the plant you could see debris all over. of course, when you got closer to the scene you could see the piles and piles of propane cylinders. the facility is now shut down even though it's still operational. we know this again through richard keith, the fire chief. this community is still waiting for answers.
11:36 am
there's an investigation going on and we won't know exactly what caused this massive blaze until this investigation concludes. back to you, brooke. >> adriana hauser. thank you. next, caught on camera. this man's daring escape. talk about brazen. you won't believe the video because he gets away, just hops on through that window and runs away. that story is next. do not miss this. plus, we're keeping a close eye on these live pictures out of kansas city, missouri. multiple ems, police units on the scene as at least one car has crashed into a day care. that story coming up next. [ male announcer ] this is bob,
11:37 am
a regular guy with an irregular heartbeat. the usual, bob? not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem,
11:38 am
that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop.
11:39 am
tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. as we're working to get you better pictures, these are the firefighters working in and out. you see the gaping hole, the concrete blocks missing and an
11:40 am
suv sitting in the thick of this. that is where at least one car, the ambulance, fire trucks, that is where one car slammed into this day care. let me be precise. it's the christian academy child care day care center in kansas city. we have been told from kansas city police. they've roped this whole place off here. some kids have been injured but according to this police officer with kansas city, they don't know how many. they don't know how severe. but certainly happening just about 40, 45 minutes ago. hopefully those who are most severely injured have been taken now to hospitals to get treatment. as soon as we get more details as far as how young these kids are, of course the staff as well and how they're doing and how this happened we will pass it along to you here on cnn. meantime, let's talk about some video you kind of have to see to believe. this is arkansas. police are searching for a man who escaped from jail by really running out the front door. we have the video to show you how it went down. we'll walk through it frame by frame in a minute.
11:41 am
you see the inmate on the phone. up there he goes. he hops on through the window. there he goes. hops up, crawls through the service window. here comes the officer in pursuit. inmate, wait for it, there he goes, through the parking lot. sprints right through the parking lot. this all happened sunday afternoon. police are still chasing for this man they consider armed and dangerous. david mattingly has been following the story. i watched this video and i don't know how many times today and thought, this is like a cartoon. >> it looks so simple but it actually wasn't. it took some coordinating to make this happen. >> yeah. >> the question is how could he have possibly got away from this. the short answer is he had some help. we'll walk through it. go to the videotape. start and stop it. let's stop it right there. that's 33-year-old derek estelle. you think he's talking on the phone. no, not really. >> not really. >> he has a history of theft and burglary charges. he's been in prison before.
11:42 am
he's in jail right now to be arraigned on a multitude of charges because he also has a history of running from police. >> oh, there you go. >> he violated his parole last march by allegedly stealing a car, getting caught doing it, wrecking the car, leading the police on a chase and then ending up in a police standoff before he gave himself up. that's what he's in jail right now for. let's go back to the videotape from that point. let's go. so he runs through and let's stop it right there. what you don't see behind that window are a couple of deputies. they were actually being distracted by a man who had come in and was talking to them. so this was very well-coordinated. let's go ahead and go back to the videotape. let's go all the way through it now. that wasn't the only help he got. with the deputy in pursuit going out that little window he dashes out into the parking lot. there's a car out there waiting for him. someone's inside ready to drive it. he gets in the car, speeds away. they find the car a few minutes

11:58 am
kavinoki. welcome to both of you. ann, i see you smiling. i'm starting with you here. >> as opposed to me laughing, brooke. >> first of all, i mean, have you ever heard of someone, someone obviously in a position of power with all of these allegations asking the taxpayer to foot the bill? >> well, i mean, they can always ask, but the fact is when you look at this, he has to say it's part of his job. it's within the scope of his employment to do these things, to glab women, slobber on women, to do other unmentionable things with wimp. good luck. >> allegations. >> allegations. the city council here seven to nine has called for his resignation. they're deciding the issue. >> darren, what do you think? >> yeah, hang on. as outraged as people may be about the idea of constituents paying the legal bills for sexual harassment, there's a long history of taxpayers paying legal bills for sexual harass am. this isn't the first sex scandal
11:59 am
where taxpayers have picked up the tab and even though this may be outside the scope of what his duties are officially as mayor, it took place on official property, it involved his co-workers. they've paid things -- for things like illegal campaign contributions and botched pension -- easy for him to say, pension plan management so i think they're going to end up writing a check for this. >> okay. darren is over this story, ann. he does have a point. this was perhaps part of -- obviously not the allegations of sexual harassment, part of his purview as mayor doing his job. then you have seven of nine city council members basically calling for his resignation. 20 seconds. do you think this will happen? do you think he will get the money? >> i think they can be judge and jury in this case and will be executioner, the city council.
12:00 pm
i think they will deny it. there has to be a recall. just because it's happened before doesn't mean it should happen here. >> ann bremmner, kevin kavinoky. thank you very much. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. top of the hour, i'm brooke baldwin. breaking news out of kansas city, missouri. this car has slammed into the side of this day care center. we've got these ariel pictures. these are live pictures where you can see. at least three children and one adult were hurt. it's still not clear at this point in time how badly. we do know that they are being taken to the hospital right now. this happened, if you know kansas city, it happened at the christian academy child care center just about an hour ago. we've seen ambulances. we have seen fire trucks. you see the whole area is cordoned off by crime scene tape. the fire department is at the scene. the cause of the accident
12:01 pm
because really this just happened obviously is still under investigation, but joining me now is danny rodirt, communications director for the city. danny, tell me what you know. >> well, here's what i know, brooke. in kansas city we have two vehicles that ran into the front of a child care on 27th street, which is in the central part of kansas city. both cars, again, were somehow in an accident and pushed into the front of the building. it involves an suv and a silver car. three children have been taken to local hospitals. they are young children. they are -- have sustained serious but not life threatening injuries. they have been taken to children's mercy hospital, which is one of the best in the country. one adult has also been ininjured and taken to an area hospital as well. again, with serious but not life threatening injuries. obviously still a serious situation. all of the children have been accounted for at this point. we've done a primary and secondary search. as you can see with the aerial
12:02 pm
footage, we have firefighters now trying to get the cars out of the front of the building and then a final search will be done to make sure that we have all children accounted for at the day care. >> i see, danny. that's so helpful. as you're explaining, what we've been seeing, these aerial pictures, the car is being removed from the day care. just to reiterate, three children, young children. we don't know ages? >> we don't know ages, no. >> okay. so three young children serious but not life threatening taken to the hospital. one adult. you broke news saying not just one but you're saying two cars. again, we don't know. you don't know exactly how these cars landed in the side of the day care? >> no, i'm he not sure. it's very clear that they seem to have had some sort of accident. the day care is relatively close to the street. so it's right on the sidewalk. you know, i'm not sure if this was an accident or careless driving. that is under investigation at this point. obviously it's a serious situation and currently we're worried that we have the front
12:03 pm
of that building shored up so it doesn't collapse further. >> what are eye witnesses telling you? do we know if they've said anything as far as the speeds of either of those cars? >> i don't know yet, brooke, i'm afraid. >> okay. finally, again, how many kids? you're saying every single one of those kids including the three who have been taken to the hospital are accounted for? >> we believe so at this point but i will put the caveat and the fire chief has made it clear about the caveat. they're still removing the vehicles and the rubble. we feel comfortable that we've gotten everyone. obviously we want to make sure we've gotten the cars out of the front of the building and searched as thorough as we can to make sure no children or anyone on the stret or pass ser's by are still in that building. >> danny, do we know what was happening? this is lunchtime. this is when day cares are pretty full. do we know what was happening inside the day care when the cars slammed into it? >> no. this is a pretty full day care.
12:04 pm
it was right on the street. it's just an unfortunate situation. as you know, it was a day care full of children. we're frankly fortunate that three have serious but not life threatening and it's only three at this point. i hate to say that but we are very thankful that we only have three as opposed to it could have been worse. >> awful for these parents. danny rotert, thank you for the time. danny saying not just one but two cars slamming into the side of the kansas city, missouri, day care. three young children. don't know ages. three young children have been taken to the hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries and also one adult. we're making phone calls. as soon as we get information on this harrowing ordeal in kansas city, we'll pass it on to you on cnn. let me switch deals to you. we're talking about another huge story that has broken as well. this military judge has acquitted the army's bradley manning of the most serious
12:05 pm
count against him. so bradley manning, not guilty of aiding the enemy. the judge convicted manning of a number of lesser charges for the largest leak of u.s. secrets in u.s. history since 700,000 classified documents. he faces years in prison when he's sentenced. in a statement released moments after the verdict wikileaks, the web side manning gave the information to said, quote, bradley manning's convictions included five counts of espionage, a very serious precedent for supplying information to the press. joining me from new york is jeffrey toobin, cnn's senior legal analyst. from washington, journalist and manning biographer, bottom line, what do you make of the verdict? >> it strikes me as a just verdict. this was a terrible, terrible breach of national security. it was a tremendous betrayal of hard working foreign service
12:06 pm
officers who put their lives on the line for the sake of the united states government and for world peace and they were betrayed by what bradley manning did. i do think the charge of aiding the enemy was excessive and the judge appropriately rejected it. >> bradley manning is a proven criminal and he's going to go to jail and that's what he deser 6s. >> denver to you, as bradley manning's biographer. when he pleaded guilty to ten of the charges he said he meant no harm to the government. he went on to say, quote, i believe if the public was aware of the data they would start a public debate on the wars in iraq and afghanistan. on the one hand he was conflicted about what was happening in iraq and afghanistan. manning seemed conflicted about his role and his treatment in the military. tell me about that. >> there's no question that marching acted as he did because
12:07 pm
he is idealistic and somewhat naive young man. he criminally leaked documents as you said, 3/4 of a million documents. much of his role has made about him being a conflicted soldier. i think there's some truth to that. on the other hand, lost in the back and forth on that is that bradley manning was quite proud of his stat it is as an intelligence analyst. i suspect he remains proud to be a soldier. he thought he was doing the right thing and did it for the same reasons that he joined the army to begin with. he saw it as a patriotic act to begin with. >> denver, i want to stay with you. you talk about the sense of being conflicted. it's since come out that manning had some discipline problems in the army. with everything that you know, should alarm bells have been
12:08 pm
ringing before this happened? >> yes. in fact alarm bells were rung about bradley manning's security clearance, they just weren't listened to. >> jeffrey toobin, we know that manning said no thank you to his case being heard by a jury. do you think that was a good decision on his part? >> probably. he was going to jail with or without a jury. this was not a difficult case to prove but frankly i'm not so interested or worried about his complex motivations. what he did was a horrendous crime and the military was right to prosecute him and, you know, this sort of -- his psychological state, you know, really we don't care about, you know, most criminal's psychological state and i certainly don't care about his either. >> okay. jeffrey toobin. thank you very much. denver nicks, we appreciate you both coming on. it sounded like bombs going off. that's what people say in this
12:09 pm
town in tavares, florida. take a look. you hear that one after another after another. a series of massive explosions blew the roof off the blue rhino gas plant. this is in florida sending a huge fireball into the sky. eight workers hurt suffering burns and being treated for smoke inhalation and look at this with me because you will see what is left behind. sea of propane gas cylinders. 53,000 of them scattered across the yard. this huge picture towering above the suburban neighborhood. the womg who took this picture is on the phone now. she is debby stivender. she is a long-time tavares local. debby, what did you see and hear? >> well, about 10:48 p.m. last
12:10 pm
night i was sitting in my living room watching tv and my son was in his room watching tv. and having lived here my entire life, it sounded like the shuttle, the boom from the shuttle. >> wow. >> so i said to tim, i said, is somebody trying -- what's going on? he's a welder. he walked outside and he looked across and he said it's the rhino, it blew zblup so he knew immediately it was all those 53,000 propane tanks. we see the smoke and fireball. we also know debbie, officials came knocking. they were knocking on your door. you were close. you were in this evacuation zone. they asked you and your son to leave but you stayed. how come? >> well, i trusted timmy and i trust myself. like i said, i have been a public servant for over 30 years. i've been through major hurricanes and other things. the local public servants here are very good at taking care of
12:11 pm
us. timmy's experience being a welder, he knew that the propane would burn itself out and as we watched, it was burning itself out. by the time they got to us to have us leave, it was almost to the final part that burned on the back where the trailers were. i knew we were secure and we were safe. >> you two were a-okay. have you wandered over there during the daylight hours? what does that look like? >> yes, ma'am. i went over earlier today and took a couple more pictures and the front of the facility looked quite normal. the road's not damaged, any of that. you can see all of the cylinders, the tanks, the individual ones that you were talking about, they are all over the yard and what the locals have done is closed off those roads so that they can make sure there aren't any leaks or anything going on in there that would be harmful to anybody. >> think about it, every one of us have one of those in our backyard if we have a grill. just 53,000 of them, boom.
12:12 pm
>> yeah. can i make a statement here? >> go for it. >> i wanted to say what an incredibly awesome job that our lake county firefighters, the tavarespd, sheriff's department and his dispatchers and the lake county ems and the lake county emergency operations. >> those first responders, isn't it? >> yeah. >> sounds like they handled themselves in the situation. >> they have been incredible in the last 16 hours making sure we're aware of what went on. also shout out to our couldn't bey departments, lake county that ended up taking care of making sure the roads are safe for us. >> debbie, thank you so much. >> our community, safety is never more evident than it was. >> we're glad people are okay. debbie, thank you for jumping on the phone. coming up next, a warning that every parent should hear. a young girl battling for her life. the reason, she went swimming and was infected by this rare but deadly pair a site. there are ways you can protect
12:13 pm
12:16 pm
. we are getting new details on that incredibly brazen $136 million jewel heist on the french riviera. prosecutors say a man wearing a cap and a scarf covering his face walked inside this important carlton hotel through a set of doors that are normally locked. this guy that apparently pulled out a weapon, threatened to shoot some jewelry exhibitors before stuffing the stones into a bag and leaving through a separate entrance. so, how in the world is a heist of this magnitude even possible? a former jewel thief talked to cnn and said there is no doubt this was a professional job. >> first thing i thought was, you know, they took the jules before they were out in the case. they knew exactly where they were so i'm sure they're going to be looking at all the films and everybody to see who was
12:17 pm
casing the place. it was definitely cased. i predict they're going to find a car within a few days and that will be the first get away car because of filming and everything of that nature. i'm really surprised they didn't have an electronic device on the jules coming out where if the jules went away from a certain area you would get shocked by carrying it. >> lawton said it will be very easy for the thief to sell off those jules. here at home, a day at an arkansas water park turned into an absolute nightmare for a 12-year-old. 12-year-old kali hardig accidentally inhaled the water from a lake and now she's in critical condition as a rare but deadly parasite is attacking her brain. senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is here. how is she doing? >> she's actually doing better. >> good. >> this is a devastating infection. it's extremely rare. in the past ten years there have
12:18 pm
been 30 people who have gotten this, all of them have died. cnn medical producer john bon field got off the phone with kali's doctor at arkansas children's hospital and said there are reasons for hope. they used an experimental anti-amoeba drug. >> experimental anti-amoeba drug. >> this is an amoeba drug that's eating at her brain. they checked her cerebral spinal fluid for the a me amoeba drug. >> why? because of the drug? >> because of the drug and the mom. that mom knew there was something with the daughter and she got her into the hospital quickly. by the time she got to the hospital she was still talking and walking and that's unusual. most of these folks, people wait too long and then there's nothing they can do. the doctors said because her mom got her to the hospital so quickly and they could get this
12:19 pm
drug so quickly. i would also credit the doctors because a kid walks in with a fever, really tired, sometimes mom gets a pat on the head and is told, oh, she's got a virus and took her home. they said, wait a second. >> they were on to something. >> they were on to something. this water park had another one a couple of years ago. i'm wondering if a doctor said, wait a second, where did she go swimming? this sounds familiar. >> i was a kid. i love water parks. >> all the time. >> anything you can do? >> this isn't any water park. this is a water park in a natural lake. this isn't like a regular one with swimming pools. this amoeba loves warm waters and hot lakes with this kind of heat. if you're swimming in one of those, chances are this isn't going to happen to you. so rare. >> so rare. >> but if you're worried about it, when you jump in, hold your nose. you don't want the water going up your nose. >> that's how it gets there. >> hold your nose. use nose clips. even if you're on the surface and want to dive in, my kids
12:20 pm
love to do that, hold your nose. don't let the water in. >> i love that we're seeing progress in this case. >> really crossing our fingers. >> elizabeth, thank you very much. coming up next, we have gotten ahold of an eye witness of the terrible scene out of missouri. you saw this. two cars slamming into a day care. at lunchtime. all the kids were there. at least three kids seriously hurt. we will take you back there live coming up. it's hard to describe, because you have a numbness, but yet you have the pain like thousands of needles sticking in your foot. it was progressively getting worse, and at that point i knew i had to do something. once i started taking the lyrica the pain started subsiding.

12:23 pm
all right. we have an update on our breaking story here as we have learned not just one but two cars have crashed into the side of a day care in kansas city, missouri. you see one car. here's what we're getting right now. we know that apparently, according to police, that a range rover had rear ended a cadillac so it forced the cadillac through the front wall of this day care. this is the christian academy child care center. it was totally full. there were 40 kids inside this day care center at the time.
12:24 pm
we learned because we talked to the communications director for the city a minute ago saying that three kids are seriously injured. not facing life threatening injuries but they have been taken to the hospital. this is new. we will learned from kansas city police that when this cadillac sort of crashed through the side of the day care, two kids were they trapped under the cadillac. you have those two kids trapped, the three kids in total. perhaps that includes two kids. three kids in total taken to area hospitals and one adult. the driver of the range rover was the person also taken to the hospital. here's the thing, the driver of the cadillac, following me, the driver of the cadillac after crashing through the day care ran through the scene. where that driver is, we don't know. this is the aftermath after these cars slammed inside and beyond these three kids who are in serious condition but not life threatening, everyone else, according to folks we've talked to, are okay and accounted for. meantime, the driver at the
12:25 pm
helm of this train, the one that derailed last week in spain killing those 79 people, that driver allegedly was on the phone with railway staff moments before this crash as he was rounding the curve. this is word coming from the spanish court. they're getting new information from the train's data recorders. we learned that the train was going 119 miles per hour before it derailed. that was more than double the recommended speed for that section of track. this was the driver, driver hit the brakes seconds before the crash. his name is francisco jose garcon. he's charged with 79 counts of homicide. coming up, a brazen jail break caught on camera. an inmate on the phone, sees the opening and away he goes. on the run. we'll talk to a security expert who breaks down this jail break. plus, serious charges for two cast members of the real housewives of new jersey. they were in court this morning

court. the couple had to surrender their passports and cannot travel outside of new york or new jersey. theresa is one of the biggest stars in this reality tv show franchise known for her antics and arguments and apparently upturning tables. she has profited from her fame appearing on "celebrity apprentice", writing a cookbook and a fashion line. if convicted, they face 30 years in court. they are back in court on august 14th. we're on the case with this duo, ann bremmner and in philadelphia today we have mr. darren kavinoky, criminal defense attorney. welcome back. i know, ann, you told one of our producers to quote you. you said, all i can say is there are three things in life that are certain, death, taxes, and karma. explain. >> exactly. exactly. especially here. when you look at death, till
12:31 pm
death do them part. they are in together in this from soup to nuts. karma, great lifestyle. maybe ill gotten. enviable at any rate. and then to go out and lie to banks, lie to mortgages, lie to bankruptcy. don't pay the irs for four years. karma is going to get you. and it looks like it has with facing 30 years for all of these charges. so, you know, death, taxes, karma. it's all here in this big story and it's a big one. >> darren, how do you defend them? >> well, first of all, before you get to the defense you've got to unravel exactly what the allegations are and, brooke, this one is odd all over. besides the fact that it involves the reality tv stars which can make it odd on its own, but what they're saying basically is that during one period of time these guys lied, they said they weren't broke when they were in order to get some real estate loans. then they lied again this time
12:32 pm
about not being broke when they actually had money when they lied to the bankruptcy court. they were hiding these assets. wait a second, which is it? are we lying about having money? are we lying about not having money when we did? it's a little bit of both. there's a lot to sort out. then, of course, complicating all of this is that for a four-year chunk of time, yeah, we didn't bother to file our tax return. but of course prosecutors say they made over a million bucks during this period too. so we've got to peel away the layers of this onion, brooke, before we know how we might possibly defend it. this one is going to be interesting. truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. >> let me quote the u.s. attorney paul fishman had this to say with this couple in this case. everyone has an obligation to tell the truth when dealing with the courts, paying their taxes and applying for loans and mortgages. that, ann bremmner, is reality. they also have apparently separate lawyers. how often does that happen?
12:33 pm
>> well, there's no innocent spouse defense really here. the irs always gets their man or woman or man and woman as in this case i think will occur. the fact of the matter is you can come in here and tell me, my husband didn't know this. she's signing off on these things. they're doing these applications. the two separate lawyers may be a good thing at the time. i don't think it's going to last. you're looking at a lot of serious time. this is not a plolt. >> you have to have separate lawyers to avoid conflict of interest. it's good for the integrity of the legal system. got to have it. >> darren. thank you. ann, coming up. police in arkansas looking for an inmate on the run. his escape caught on video. we'll talk to a security expert who talks about this brazen jail break. and away he goes. ♪ [ female announcer ] when your swapportunity comes, take it. ♪ what? what? what? [ female announcer ] yoplait. it is so good.
12:34 pm
12:36 pm
you just have to see this video. right now in arkansas police are looking for this guy who escaped from jail by running out the front door. got the video to prove it. set this up. sitting on the ground in the hallway on the phone. the guards are distracted. where is he going? oh, yes, through a window head first and then the feet and then he picks himself up. here comes the police officer after him. cut to parking lot. and there goes the inmates and right to the get away car. this was sunday afternoon. police are still looking for derek estelle and tamara upshaw.
12:37 pm
how can this happen? we're talking through this here. gill, from what i understand, david mattingly did some digging, this was very well orchestrated. guards distracted. there's the get away car. >> i don't think it was well planned. i think it was a simple plan. these guys are dangerous. he's sitting on the phone by himself. where are the guards? i think somebody will get in trouble and they'll change their policy as far as what security measures are going to take after this. you were right about these guys about armed and dangerous. >> the other point, too, is this is what we were sort of chewing on. you're an inmate, on the phone. he wasn't on the phone. this is all a ruse. he's sitting on the phone and here you have a huge window and big enough for a guy to jump on through and get out of there. can we talk about the lay of the
12:38 pm
land of this jail? that's not so smart. >> yeah, no, i don't think so either. you know, it's sunday at 1:40 in the afternoon. i guess it's a slow time or something and then the deputies are helping somebody else. that was part of the plan. and took him out of there. this guys jumps out the window and runs away. and i keep emphasizing the fact that this guy has run away before with a gun so he is really a dangerous person. >> that's right. he's eluded police multiple times in the past so he has a rap sheet. quickly because the video is just awesome, how many times do people try doing this and they get caught? more often than not? >> how many people what? >> how many people are caught? >> you mean escaping from jail are you talking about? >> yes. >> yes, they're definitely caught. where are they going to go, how long can they go, where are they going to hide? these guys are brazen. they want to be out there. they'll take chances. he'll definitely get caught.
12:39 pm
12:42 pm
available now at meineke.com. president obama offered the gop a new deal in a speech in chattanooga just a short time ago. he said he's willing to cut the tax rate applied to corporations in exchange for new spending on job creating infrastructure projects. >> i'm willing to work with republicans on reforming our corporate tax code as long as we use the money from transitioning to a simpler tax system for a significant investment in creating middle class jobs. that's the deal. and, you know, i'm going to keep on throwing ideas out there to see if something takes. >> the president said he is weary of putting forth ideas and having republicans reject them
12:43 pm
in his words, quote, just because i propose them. did you know of the 234 women in the house of representatives, only 19 belong to the gop. 234 women, 19 republicans, so house republicans have launched this project grow. it's an effort to boost that number to broaden the party's appeal among women. dana bash, our chief congressional correspondent talked to some of the women behind the effort about the republican's problems with women. >> reporter: why do you think this is so important, to launch a very specific special project just to get republican women to run for congress? >> it's as a result of the 2012 election. we saw the result. we saw that as republicans even though we were talking about the issues that affected america, women across this country felt we were not connecting with them. >> what's the message problem? >> we've got to reach people where they live and talk to them in a way that will make their life better and easier. i tell my colleagues, close your
12:44 pm
eyes. say that you're speaking to that 37-year-old single mother of two who's trying to make it to the 15th and the 30th of the month. what do we have to offer snem. >> is that part of the problem? it's hard for a white man to close his eyes and imagine himself a 37-year-old single mother, too, but not a woman. >> well, i think that's part of what we hope this project to do is not only educate other female candidates but also educate our male colleagues about connecting with women and doing a better job, going out and meeting with women, women business owners, volunteer organizations, doing a better job connecting like they said about where they are about things they care about. >> there are only 19 of you in congress, 19 republican women out of 234. so you're only 8% of your caucus or your conference. >> we did. we lost women. >> why is that? >> again, that is why we have to reach out. you know, typically women who are going to run for office,
12:45 pm
they almost need to be asked. they need to make sure that there's a place for them. >> they do often need to be asked. i was asked to run for office. i had never run for office before and, you know, i want to be that person that helps identify and encourage women to run. >> we need to do better, and that's what this project is about. i have devoted a fair amount of my lifetime in politics promoting women to get involved. you know, we decide the outcome of elections. we ought to be represented at the table. >> reporter: martha mcsally, an air force pilot combat who flew over iraq, she is running for gabby giffords' seat. she is the political recruit these gop women say they're looking for. >> the democrats have been effective attacking us and trying to brand us in a way that is not accurate. >> my opponent, a white man is trying to lump me on the war in women. here i am a pioneering woman.
12:46 pm
first to fly. i sued donald rumsfeld for making women wear birk as in saudi arabia. >> 29% is democrats. 8% is republicans. why is that? >> i don't have an answer. i can say that in my experience running when i engage with republican independent and democratic women, you talk about the issues that matter with them, if we connect with them, we're real, we show our leadership, show that we're solution oriented and i should be clear, dana bash, i don't know if this is subliminal. i said 234 women. it was 234 republicans in the house of representatives, 19 of whom are women. this idea this project grow, it's an idea. how do they do that? how do they attract more women? >> well, they say that they are going to do it really the old-fashioned way, the way that these party leaders have recruited anybody in the past but really with an eye towards
12:47 pm
women. for example, they're going into the districts and look for people active in the pta, active business leaders, people who have expressed an interest in the public service and people who want to be republicans and try to cultivate them and have the current serving members, few of them, 19, call them and say, look, this is how you do it. it is fascinating for me. i've done several pieces on women in politics. this is a bipartisan thing. women need to be asked to really be pushed to get into this kind of thing. >> wonder why? >> much more than men and it really is unclear. probably is changing as the times are changing but it's certainly a lot slower than you would think. >> dana bash, it is lovely hearing these four voices and yours. thank you for bringing us those barrier views. >> thank you, brooke. in washington, apple's intent to keep employees from stealing secrets may cost them
12:48 pm
employees. they have to wait in line for security checks. they say they should be paid for that time. details of that lawsuit next. are you flo? yes. is this the thing you gave my husband? well, yeah, yes. the "name your price" tool. you tell us the price you want to pay, and we give you a range of options to choose from. careful, though -- that kind of power can go to your head. that explains a lot. yo, buddy! i got this. gimme one, gimme one, gimme one! the power of the "name your price" tool.

administrators, gary schultz and former athletic director tim curley. they will face trial on charges of obstruction, perjury and failing to report a danger to children. and what started off as mandatory background checks could cost the company big time. employees are suing in this class action lawsuit. they claim they had to stand in line for up to half an hour a day while managers conducted the checks to make sure no one was stealing. that they say added up to about $1,500 a year in unpaid overtime. let's go to zain asher in new york. they say they want their money. >> two former apple employees only stopped working at the company just a few months ago. they're saying apple security would search their bags twice a
12:52 pm
day, once before they left the day, for lunch and at the end of their shift. the problem is many apple employees end their shift at the same time so they would often have to wait in line for their bags tore searched. they believe they should be compensated and paid. if you're done with your shift, should you be paid for the extra time it takes for something like a routine bag check? obviously these employers think so. they want dozens of hours in unpaid wages. apples employees, thousands of employees in retail in the u.s., it would cost millions to pay back pay. they say not paying employees for that time, they say they violated the fair labor standards. we reached out to apple. their policy is not to comment on pending litigation. brooke? >> that was my next question, how apple was handling all of this. zain asher, thank you very much. this next story, boy, oh, boy.

12:59 pm
when they were invited to take part in the show. they're the second couple to be given a baby on tv. adoption isn't officially recognized in pakistan and there is no adoption law, but these couples will have to apply for guardianship at a family court. this was in process before the show. aamir liaguat hussain says another couple will be given another baby on the show in the coming days. >> how about that. before i let you go, former secretary of state hillary clinton is again dining with people in high places. this morning it was breakfast with the vice president. that follows yesterday's well publicized lunch with her former boss, president obama. a white house spokesman declined to characterize the tone of the luncheon other than to say, quote, it was largely friendship
