google is making it it perfectly clear they are indeed reading your e-mail. we're going to tell you what they are doing with that information. we'll start with egypt because the country is in a state of emergency bracing for more protests after the bloodiest day since the 2011 revolution. at least 421 people killed wednesday with security forces crack down on supporters of mohamed morsi. the muslim brotherhood is promising there will be more demonstrations. we're going to start with cnn live in cairo. good morning. what's the situation on the ground? >> reporter: good morning, chris. eriely calm here. it it has a lot to do with a state of emergency declared late last night after an all day of violence. the death toll staggering.

more than 420 killed, 3,500 people injured, many that have people describing yesterday as a massacre. for weeks egypt's military-backed interim government that promised to crush a sit-in demonstration in support of mohamed morsi. on wednesday they delivered with a ferocious crackdown. authorities claim initially they used tear gas and water canons to scatter protesters, but that was followed by gunfire. they say morsi supporters fired first and they were forced to fire back. whoever started it, the gunfire lasted for hours. security forces e steadily pushed in and behind makeshift barriers, morsi supporters desperately held on. at a nearby hospital in makeshift clinic, there was little room for the mounting casualties. three volunteer doctors claimed

security forces stormed the hospital and forced out the medics. effectively leaving scores of bloody bodies in government custody. >> they put the guns in our faces and said you have to leave in five minutes. and we told them there are many people bleeding inside the hospital. they said it's not your business. go out now. >> reporter: but roughly 6:00 p.m., security forces had taken full control of the sit-in. bulldozing hundreds of tents and torching protesters' belongings. thousands of angry morsi supporters left in despair. for egypt's military-backed interim government, it was mission accomplished at the a steep cost, but the fury in the muslim brother. hood signalled a movement determine determined to keep fighting. yesterday's brutal crackdown sparked clashes and attacks throughout the country. police stations, government buildings, even churches were

attacked. many are blaming the muslim brotherhood. it's difl to verify that, but it's important to describe what we witnessed and at least when it comes to the sit-in demonstrations shs it's important to point out we witnessed a lot of unarmed protesters being injured and killed. this country has a lot of important questions to answer moving forward. >> i think you're right. as you said yesterday, you said this is something you have never seen in egypt, in cairo before. we're going to check back in with you. thank you so much. secretary of state john kerry condemned the bloody military crackdown, but so far the administration not offering plans for a response. also no word from the president himself. still vacations on martha's vineyard. dan is there, good morning. >> reporter: the obama administration not only strongly

condemning the violence but calling for restraint and calling for the interim government to respect the rights of the people there. josh earnest saying that the u.s. will continue to hold the egyptian government accountable for the promise they made to speed up the transition to a democratical democratically elected government. but what's missing in all of this is what then? we do know there have been a lot of conversations between u.s. egyptian officials. but still more than a billion dollars in aid continues to flow from the united states to egypt. the white house saying that that aid is under review. one other point is that the white house still will not call what happened in egypt a cue. officials saying it's been determined that it's not in the best interest of united states to do so. a lot of tough talk from the obama administration, but no

concrete steps on what will happen next. in the meantime, the president continues on his vacation here on martha's vineyard. no word on whether we'll hear from him in the coming hours. >> dan lothian, thanks so much, dan. with that situation on the ground, all that matters is what comes next. let's get to the options and what they could mean. peter bye nard is here. peter, welcome to "new day." what are we looking at? >> the tragedy here is that we don't have a the lot of leverage. our point of leverage would have been right after the coupe. we could have kept the military from going down this path. now that they have gone to that path, it it seems to be almost

impossible to imagine a reconciliation between them and the brotherhood. all we can do now is plead for restrai restraint. >> the united states not calling it a coupe, a failure? >> we can't know what would have happened. it might have been we didn't have enough leverage to do anything. but we looked equivocal. the military was restoring democracy in an unfortunate gatt. the military didn't get the message from us that this was going to be a terrible hospitalization aoption and they went down this path. >> both sides are angry at the united states. what does that mean going forward? >> i mean, this is what's unfortunate. i think we were going to make the military angry by telling them we didn't support the coupe. but we lost influence with islamists all over the world. the message now is the united states only supports elections where our side wins.

and that we basically wink at coupes. whether it's in algeria or egypt or hamas. we wink at coupes when it's against those people. >> just as we saw with the arab spring how one led to another, is there a concern that what happens in egypt starts to spread in terms of rebound effects of different regimes trying to reclaim power? do we see this spreading? >> yes, there's the possibility in tanesia. one of the real nightmare scenarios is you have a regional conflict play out in egypt as in syria. the gulf states are strongly back. like saudi arabia, backing the milita military. you could have regional power starting to back with arms a conflict between the different forces in egypt, which is what we have seen in syria. >> what's timetable here?

when does the u.s. have to make a decision? >> i don't think we have much time or leverage. the best hope is to rally the regional allies who might have more influence to try to stop this from becoming a cycle of violence that can't be stopped. >> thank you for being with us. >> my pleasure. we're also watching new and chilling details about what happened inside the home of the man police say kidnapped ann ha anderson and killed her mother and brother. we're also getting more information about his final moments in the wilderness. an autopsy says he was shot at least five times by an fbi agent. casey wiens is following the latest. >> good morning, kate. throughout this story, we have used a lot of words to describe the murder of her mother and younger brother. words including horrific. now we can add another word to this story.

huge international story. it's also fair the the president should get a vacation. this curse happens to every president. they go off on vacation. something big happens in the country or the world and there's a day or two they can decide if they can stay on vacation. the reason this is a big issue and the reason people are saying where is the president is this is a bet gone bad by the obama administration. they wouldn't call this a coupe. they didn't like the morsi government. they thought the morsi government was too anti-west. they made a bet that they would get rid of the morsi government but move to democratic elections. now they see things happening against the administration's wishes. you could hear the frustration from secretary of state kerry. now the administration has to decide what can we do to change the government's behavior. the biggest threat is to end the joint military exercise. you'll hear forces say cut off

aid. >> are there any good options before the administration at this point? i get the sense that there really isn't because a political solution does not seem like it's coming any time soon. >> that's the hard part because you'll hear people say. why do we give billions of taxpayer dollars when you see what they are doing. the administration will say that's our only leverage. if we don't give aid, they will not listen to us at all. so it does give more volume to those saying cut off the aid. privately the administration and veteran diplomats of both parties will say that's a huge risk. once you cut off the aid, where else will they turn? secretary kerry tried to rely on the united air of elm rats to put pressure. >> we'll have to do more and soon. i want to talk about an issue that's happening here at

oklahoma. talk about a pretty big political mess. the administration is now announcing they are delaying another part of the implementation of the president's health care law. this time having to do with a cap on your out of pocket expenses when it comes to health care. this is the third delay of a part of the law in recent months. and it was really buried in some bureaucratic language at the labor department. does this really offer a clear opening for republicans? >> absolutely. let's focus on the policy. this is the health care law affecting everybody. whether you favor it or oppose ed it it. from a policy standpoint, the changes are going to frustrate people. this one particularly could have a huge political impact because as you mentioned, hidden in bureaucratic language, the end result is when the changes kick in, the administration promised for most americans cost would go down. at least in the short-term, your costs could be higher than anticipated. you bet you know the republicans in 2014 are trying to make

opposition to obama care. the implementation of the law, the huge turnout, this is big government gone bad. if it costs americans more money, the republicans will try to benefit politically without a doubt. >> is it enough for republicans to benefit the way they want? which would be repealing the had the president. 's health care law? i ask this because newt gingrich came out with an interesting criticism saying the problems republicans have is they have zero response when they say let's repeal obama care. they don't have a response for what should be put in its place. >> this is vintage newt gingrich. it's an interesting point. there are plenty of republicans saying we don't like obama care, but we would like to do this. a little market help to reduce costs. but the republican policy alternatives, whether you agree or disagree, get lost in the volume. they are so visceral in their opposition to obama care. it's no, no, no, fight it, shut

down the government. the republicans can't be. the party of no. they have to be no, this, this is the alternative. some think no is enough to rally the base. >> that's why we have elections. republicans seem to be speaking in one message on many topics. >> that's an excellent point. >> thanks so much. we'll talk to you in a bit. it it brings to mind an old political phrase. any can kick down a barn. >> smart policy and legislating is not an easy thing. i'm not pretending i can do it. >> the politics of they stink is not enough anymore. >> it's an easy sound byte, though. coming up on "new day," worth taking a break in the morning routine for this. who is reading your e-mails? if you have a gmail account, you'll want to hear this. a shocking confession about your privacy from google, just ahead. plus the moment the world has been waiting for. a bold attempt to set the world

over to third parties. i wanted to show the language they are using. they are saying, you know, look. we have automated servers that look at your e-mails. they are looking at computers and e-mails searching for key words for spam and stuff so we can move it out of there. they are trying to say it's just like when an assistant -- someone sends chris cuomo a letter. someone opens his mail and put s it in the different inboxes and outboxes. that's what they are saying their servers do. but some are upset about this. >> no legitimate expectancy of privacy? there's going to be a lot of people that say, no way, i can't do that. >> look, their servers are looking at the address it's coming from. they are looking at the address it's going to. they are scanning for key words. if you're so concerned about privacy online, you got to opt out.

i don't think there's anything else. >> there is no privacy online no matter what. >> the issue is why they are looking. it's the same issue with surveillance. why are you looking? what's troubling people is more and more it seems like there's opportunities going on with these -- we were talking before. i'm talking about whether to buy a chevy or a ford. that's not just putting me into different boxes. that's paying attention o what i say to sell me things. >> what do you pay for your gmail? that's the point. our right is to have a free service. >> don't be sneaky. tell me you're going to sell me stu stuff. >> but you're making a good point. >> it it seems a little sneaky it has to come out in court filings. there season a statement up front. >> they did issue us a statement. they said we take privacy and security seriously.

hgh is for an nfl player and what would be considered a violation under the new testing policy. the nfl hopes to start testing for hgh this season. patriots nation went into freak out mode yesterday when tom brady went down holding his knee during the team scrimmage. he left the scrimmage early but it it looks like fans can set out a sigh of relief. an mri came back negative and is k expected to be okay. you can see the video on bleacherreport.com. an injured bat finds its way on to the field during the second inning. who better to handle this situation than a bat boy. he goes and gets the bat and takes it into the dugout. even going to scare some of the players with it as you can see right here. bat boy takes the bat into the outfield. the bat just flies away. >> that's a good use of your mitt. >> i wonder if it was put on there as a signal to the umpire.

complaints, someone there in the middle. it's going to be gorgeous. about 70s. >> nice today. thank you so much, indra. we're close to the top of the hour. it means it's time for the top news. we had to leave at gunpoint. we don't know what happened after we left to the injured people on the floor. >> on the brink, hundreds now dead, thousands wounded and egypt at risk of civil war. the u.s. now under pressure to step in. a tribute, we're learning more from hannah anderson as she speaks out online remembering her mother and brother as police release new details about the day they were murdered. fighting for veronica. the adoptive parents trying everything to get the daughter the courts say is theirs back. why won't her biological family let them see her?

of. telling people they have cancer when they don't. the reason? the allegation is he was trying to bilk medicare out of millions of dollars. outraged patients speaking out this morning. we have been following two cases of kids fighting brain-eating amebas. is there an increased danger this summer? the new warnings one state has issued. that's coming up. first this morning, egypt. reeling from its bloodiest day since the arab spring. cairo is still in chaos right now. back home, the united states is condemning the deadly government crackdown that's left at least 525 civilians and police officers dead. cnn's reza is in cairo. what's the latest? >> reporter: the city just feels eerie at this hour. we have had day when is we waik up and our gut feels heavy with

dread and uncertainty. you get the impression that many egyptians are feeling that today. it's quiet right now. i think that has a lot to do with the state of emergency declared last night after an awful day of violence. we have another new death toll and it's jaw dropping. according to the health ministry, more than 520 people killed. it's this number that has many people calling yesterday a massacre. for weeks, egypt's military-backed interim government had promised to crush a six-week long sit-in demonstration in support of the ousted president morsi. on wednesday they delivered with a ferocious crackdown. authorities claim initially they used tear gas and water canons to scatter protesters, but that was followed by gunfire. they say morsi supporters fired first and they were forced to fire back. whoever started it, the gunfire lasted for hours. security forces steadily pushed in and behind makeshift

barriers, morsi supporters desperately held on. at a nearby hospital and makeshift clinic, there was little room for the mounting casualties. doctors said security forces stormed the hospital and forced out the medics leaving scores of bloody bodies in government custody. >> they put the guns in our faces and said you have to leave in five minutes. and we told them there are many people bleeding inside the hospital. and they said, it's not your business, go out now. >> reporter: but 6:00 p.m. security forces are taken full control of the sit-in, bulldozing hundreds of tents and torching protesters' belongings. many of them walking wounded, left in despair. for egypt's military-backed interim government, it was mission accomplished at a steep cost, but the fury of the muslim brotherhood signalled a movement

determined to keep fighting. yesterday's crackdown sparked clashes and attacks throughout egypt. police stations, government buildings, even churches attacked. many here in egypt blaming the muslim brotherhood. it's difficult to verify if indeed that's the case because of the conflicting accounts, but kate, when you have these conflicting accounts, it's important to emphasize what we saw at the sit-in demonstration yesterday. we saw a lot of unarmed protesters and demonstrators being injured and killed. this government has a lot of important questions to answer in the days ahead. >> it almost feels like it's just beginning. thank you, reza. let's talk more about this with two of our best who have spent a lot of time in egypt and the region covering the tension there is. nick paton walsh, thank you so much. it's important for u.s. viewers to be reminded why this is so important. and what's at stake and what's

the real danger here if this doesn't calm down. >> egypt is the most populous country. it's a cultural leader traditionally for other arab countries, it's been an ally of the u.s. it's experiment and democracy that started two years ago with a lot of euphoria is dead. this is a real gravestone on that experiment and what's even scarier about this is that the muslim brotherhood, the plut call islamists who were part of the political process, it's been clear you're not apart of it it. where do they go now? >> is it the concern in the middle east when there's a vacuum, it it becomes a breeding ground for terrorism. isn't that one of concerns? >> that's one of the fears. what you're seeing is mower mirrored but many other issues. the same fighting now in egypt are also seeing themselves backs against the wall in syria, in

iraq as well. they are looking for an identity region wide. you're seeing the most populous country the trend setter. we're already seeing it it inside syria as well. the real fear is you're seeing concerns of an extremist haven inside syria. is this kind of violence -- it it tracks the possibility of violence living there for a period of time. >> the question becomes we keep saying here, what will the u.s. do? can it it do anything that will stop this right now? what's your take? >> this is demonstrated in the crackdown yesterday is how little leverage the u.s. had. it's very clear the generals in egypt decided we don't care what washington thinks. they are flush with cash from the persian gulf and countries like that. they are getting much more money from saudi arabia than from the

u.s. in just the last sixth weeks. they clearly made a decision. we don't care what the backlash is going to be. we know a lot of people are going to get killed. but we're going to go ahead and do this. >> they tried, this is an experiment in restoring democracy. they clearly weren't that interested in fostering that relationship. the money they are getting from outside the u.s. is ten times the size. at the end, washington will need cairo. they need the to protect israel. they have chosen to not listen. >> i'm curious if you think that democracy can thrive there? do you think it it can work? from western perspective, to look at that place culturally and historically, can it work the way we think it should work? >> it's terrible to think they can't have elections. they had elections. i covered them.

this was the first in egypt's his history. and the guy is being held for six weeks now. and there have been some talk about a new round of elections next year. how do you have them if you have taken up with of the biggest political parties, some of the kids got killed yesterday. we're seeing these rows of bodies in mosques. we're going to have a cycle of protests linked to those deaths. it's really scary what's happening in a country that two or three years ago we thought was going to be the great shining light of middle east. >> perspective is important as we talk about numbers overseas. people seem to be unemotional. if there was 400 people killed in a day, you know exactly what people would be acting like. i think that's kind of the perspective that people need to have. it's a country that the united states needs. >> america is narrow. we think the threat is extreme

islam. now you're seeing this has nothing to do with islam, the vie listens olence on the groun. it's being done by a secular military, but still dangerous to the people. >> it's great to see you. thank you, guys, for joining us. we're going to go from the trouble abroad to a tough situation that e we just watched unfold here at home. there are new gruesome details about the kidnapping of hannah anderson. warrants are shedding lights about the actions of james dimaggio. casey wian has that from los angeles. >> reporter: good morning, chris. there's a lot of new details being revealed in these search wa warns including the extent to which they were trying to track down james dimaggio and hannah anderson, tracing their cell phone, e-mail, facebook accounts. those documents also reveal that before they were culled, hannah anderson's mother and younger brother were tortured. grizzlie new details are

surfacing in the alleged kidnapping and murder case of james dimaggio. he tortured and killed his best friend's wife and 8-year-old son and shot and killed the family dog. police also say they found a crowbar and what appeared to be blood on the ground next to christina anderson's body. he set his house on fire and kidnapped the couple's 16-year-old daughter. he spoke with her 13 times on the phone earlier that day. the fbi rescued anderson on saturday and killed dimaggio during the confrontation. an idaho coroner says he was shot at least five times. >> as for my daughter, the healing process will be slow. she has been through a tremendous, horrific ordeal. >> reporter: now home, anderson has quickly taken to social media to help cope with her pain. the first glimpse we're getting of her after the ordeal. she writes, god gives his

toughest tasks to the strongest soldiers. she also posted this picture of her mother and brother writing, my two beautiful angels. she dedicated this post to them. i'll meet you again. rest in peace. the posts hit the social media sphere three days after he is rescue. >>s that 16-year-old who is traumatized. she's not thinking sometimes in a numb state you're doing things that you don't really consider the consequences. >> reporter: but others say social media is a good outlet for anderson. >> there's a ton of research that shows when someone has been through a traumatic experience, it's helpful to share their story. >> reporter: a user asked, why didn't you run? he would have killed me. are you glad he's dead? absolutely. that act has since been

disabled, but hannah's insta gram account is still active. she posted this picture to that account within the last eight hours or so. it's a picture of the family. her father, her mother and younger brother posing in front of a christmas tree. the message is dad is not taking this very well. none of us are. but please watch over him. i'm all he's got left. even though you're gone, we are still a team. love you and miss you. heartbreaking words from a 16-year-old girl. chris and kate? >> that's difficult. it's such a mixed situation. it's a very private situation. online can be a scary place as well. they just need space and time to heal. there's a lot of news developing at this hour. let's get to the latest headlines. >> we're keeping an eye on utah. a wildfire burning near park city. it's destroyed 14 homes so far.

the fire was sparked by lightning. strong winds have been push iin the flames towards a subdivision ten miles outside of park city. it's burned through 2,000 acres since tuesday. a beach in maui closed after a woman was attacked by a shark just offshore wednesday. the 20-year-old victim a german tourist lost part of her arm. she was snorkeling when the shark attack occurred. she's reportedly in critical condition. friends and family mourning the death of a popular star from "the bachelor." she's been taken off life support after a suicide attempt in new orleans. while she wasn't chosen in her 2010 appearance, she went on to compete on "bachelor pad." investigators discovered a giant sand dune in northern indiana. you'll recall a 6-year-old boy

was swallowed into the sand and seriously injured. he's now covering. officials say the hole is nearby and was visible to the naked eye. it's now been closed to the public at this time. do you remember, and i know you can't forget this, the fellow we introduced you to in tennessee who has an affection for raccoons? keeping them as house pets. there's video of him showering with one. this is rebecca. state officials confiscated her because it's illegal to keep a wild animal as a pet. mr. brown is having none of it it. he's appealed to tennessee's governor to grant him to permit to keep rebecca. >> he could argue he's not keeping rebecca. she just comes and goes through the house when she pleases. >> did you guys pick up in the

video he was somewhat surprised and he's like, what, what's so weird? nothing, there's just a raccoon on your shoulder. >> i love this guy. >> i love you, mr. brown. there needs to be more of you around. >> not enough men with raccoons on their shoulders. let's move on to other news. it's been a summer of record rainfall and it e shows no signs of letting up at this point. severe thunderstorms in the forecast for the central and southern planes. there's more heavy rain expected in the southeast. where's it it not raining at this point? >> pretty much. it's like this broken record. june, heavy rain. july, setting records. august, we're still talking about record-breaking rainfall even expected this weekend. in charleston, south carolina, the rain has been relentless. check out this video of a

cyclist struggling to get through the flooded downtown streets. georgia, tennessee and arkansas have seen flash flooding this season as storms continue to drench the south. for many places, it's been the wettest summer on record. in just july miami beach got a whopping 18.5 inches of rain. in fort lauderdale, they saw nearly 15.5 inches of rainfall. in kansas it poured for a week straight. look at this road that buckled and collapsed. in wichita, this van needed a boost after stalling out in the flooded street. kansas broke 144 rainfall records in the first week of august alone. and they are not alone. chattanooga, tennessee, has seen more than 4 inches of rain this month. that's more rain in the first two weeks of august than they usually see in the entire month. philadelphia is having its soggiest summer yet. last month they set an all-time record for rainfall in a single

day when storms dumped 8 inches in just six hours. the northeast is reeling from severe thunderstorms from just this week. in newark, delaware, torrential rain shut down roads while high winds downed power lines and snapped treeses. we're still talking about rain. heavy rain expected this weekend in the southeast. this is the current radar right now. i want to show you a couple things going on. we're looking at development into the tropics. the reason this is so important, all that tropical moisture could combine with a stationary front already in place. it's bringing 2 to 5 inches of rain. you combine the moisture with that, which is what we're expecting this weekend. look at the moisture extending into the carolinas. so with that, we're talking ant heavy rainfall and the threat of flooding. anywhere pr 5 to 8 inches of rain as we go through this weekend. so flooding concerns will be extremely high. >> all right. thank you. we're going to take a break

here. when we come back, you heard about this crash. the big question is why did it happen so it can be prevented from happening again. we'll take you through what happened so close to this alabama airport. and a serious call for a once promising political star. the punishment for jesse jackson jr., next. lein houston, coca-cola'sg. club balón rojo, is kicking off fun and fitness on and off the field, with the help of soccer stars. these free clinics, help kids gain confidence in their game, and learn how important it is to get moving every day. it's part of our goal to inspire more than 3 million people, to re-discover the joy of being active this summer. see the difference all of us can make. together.

and my coverage will never go down because of my age. affordable coverage and guaranteed acceptance? we should give them a call. do you want to help protect your loved ones from the burden of final expenses? if you're between 50 and 85, you can get quality insurance that does not require any health questions or a medical exam. your rate of $9.95 a month per unit will never increase, and your coverage will never decrease -- that's guaranteed. so join the six million people who have already called about this insurance. whether you're getting new insurance or supplementing what you already have, call now and ask one of their representatives about a plan that meets your needs. so, what are you waiting for? go call now! we'll finish up here.

using the litter box. e he has been neutered and declaude. at least there's a plus side. they are trying to find a way to make him more adoptable. they are calling him extra fluffy. >> awe, yes. >> he looks like the fat cat from the other day. >> i think we have an epidemic on our hands. >> i'm concerned about it it it. we need to get our cats moving, people. >> that should be on a t-shirt. >> we need to get our cats moving. let's get back to the story that's captured national attention. the bitter custody battle for baby veronica. a couple desperately fighting to get their adopted daughter back. there are signs the case may be close to a resolution. we are tracking the latest developments. >> it has been a bitter custody battle and it has gone from oklahoma to south carolina and back again. both sides are making moves now,

and maybe a compromise is in order. what we seek is peace for our daughter. >> reporter: the child they adopted and raised for two years before losing her in a bitter custody dispute. wednesday they arrived in oklahoma to try to regain custody. >> as soon as we arrived, we requested a visit with our daughter. as a mother, my heart broke when our request was denied. >> it's time for this to be over. with each passing day, we lose another day with our daughter. >> reporter: dustin is the biological father. four years ago, brown waived his parental rights. a member of the cherokee nation, he changed his mind arguing federal law protects native american children from being separated from their families. he was awarded custody in defense of 2011. but the u.s. supreme court ruled

in favor of adoptive parents. in south carolina ordered the couple be handed back to the couple. the governor is weighing in, tweeting, the couple deserve an opportunity to meet with their adopted daughter. they also deserve the chance to meet with mr. brown and put an end to this conflict. monday brown turned himself into oklahoma authorities after failing to show up to a court appearance. he was freed on $10,000 bond. but he still faces an extradition order to south carolina. an order the oklahoma governor promises to expedite if brown fails to cooperate. brown's attorney tells cnn that at his client's request, he reached out to the couple's representatives to reach a resolution in best interest. this included an offer to meet personally with the couple. the next hearing will be september 11th. we hope there's a resolution here. >> thank you for the report.

let's bring in ashleigh banfield. she's the host of cnn's legal view. good luck with the new show. to puck up where we left off, hopefully there's a resolution. let's start with there has been a resolution. highest court said the child belongs to the adoptive parents. so where is the middle ground? >> and when you say the highest court did it, they said the whole basis for the state level fight was actually not valid. it was an old, old law. it was meant to keep indian children with indian parents. there's an indian element. she's a small percentage of indian. but the court said you can't just use that law in this case. now that case was supposed to have been resolved. but the father did not come ply with this. this child has been living two different lives.

two years with one set of parents, two years with the other. there was supposed to be a transitional period. when he didn't show up, we're back at square one. there's a warrant out. >> they are trying to compromise. when you see how contentious this has been and how they haven't been working to try to reach a compromise to this point, is there a way this can be handled outside the legal system? it it seems they have seemed to have exhausted all possibilities. >> i look at divorce court. the same kind of thing. people would love for divorced parents to just work things out. you know how that goes. it rarely goes well. in this case, the overtures have been made somewhat. mr. brown suggested however, she lives with me permanently and in the summers, she can visit the couple in south carolina. if you're the couple in south carolina, you're thinking this is my child now.

that's just not enough of an overture. on his part, he's said the only overture has been to involve you in the child's life. he said that's far too vague and i can't live with that either. >> what's interesting to me, there's this issue about the indian children being protected and taken care of and not taken away from their culture. but you have a 4-year-old who her life is so important to look at what's the best thing. can that be found? >> you nailed it. >> there's so many voices in this battle. >> that's exactly why law has to apply to each case. and every case is a little different. in this particular case, i think i heard you tease earlier there's so many levels of court involved here. tribal court, state court, supreme court, the state's supreme court as well. two governors weighed in as well.

>> can the wrong glaw get it wr? >> we have an amazing system. >> it's gone through every court. at what point does the court actually force action? >> well, it's funny. in this particular case, action is in the process of being forced. and actually the governor said, you know, mr. brown, if you do not play nice and do what you have been told to do, i will speed up your extradition so you go to court there. now she's backing off that. so i think the courts and the government have actually tried to sidestep somewhat in order for resolution and the best interest of the child to perhaps have some foundation to work themselves out as well. this story is so not over. >> they are going to fight for their kid. >> both sets of parents love that child. >> it's the only silver lining. >> you came from a family that embraced adoption. the man signed away legal rights. the there's a birth mother here.

the child never lived on the reservation before. so it it wasn't a typical native law situation. so this becomes very difficult for these adoptive parents. you would argue they are being very accommodative here. early on the story was covered as if they were stealing a child. everything has been lined up right on their side. mr. brown claims he didn't know it was going on. and in court, it it worked early on and then it didn't. >> it's so difficult because we love our troops. we want to respect our troops. he says i gave away my parental rights and didn't e know what that meant. i was about to deploy to iraq. >> it's heartbreaking. >> great to see you. >> good luck with your know. >> thank you. it's a lot of fun. you'll have to come on. >> we will, obviously. >> we want to make sure you know "legal view" is weekdays at 11:00 a.m. eastern.

everything to do with a state of emergency declared last night after an awful day of violence. the death toll now stands at a staggering 520 people. that's going to be one of the deadliest death tolls in modern history here in egypt and it's those kind of numbers that have many describing yesterday as a massacre. for weeks, egypt's military-backed interim government had promised to crush a six-week long sit-in demonstration in support of the ousted president mohamed morsi. on wednesday, they delivered with a ferocious crackdown. authorities claim initially they used tear gas and water canons to scatter protesters. they say morsi supporters fired first and they were forced to fire back. whoever started it, the gunfire lasted for hours. security forces steadily pushed in and behind makeshift barriers, morsi supporters

desperately held on. at a nearby hospital and makeshift clinic, there was little room for the mounting casualties. three volunteer doctors claim e security forces stormed the hospital and forced out the medics. leaving scores of bloody bodies in government custody. >> they put their guns in our faces and said you have to leave in five minutes. and we told them there are many people, many people bleeding inside the hospital. and they said it's not your -- >> reporter: by 6:00 p.m., security forces have taken full control of the sit-in. bulldozing hundreds of tents and torching protesters' belongings. thousands of angry morsi supporters many walking wounded left in despair. for egypt's backed interim government it was mission accomplished at a steep course. but determined to keep fighting.

it's important to point out that based on what we saw yesterday, this demonstration most of the protesters who were killed were unarmed and defenseless. yesterday's crackdown sparked clashes and attacks throughout the country. police stations, government buildings and even churches were set on fire. many here in egypt are blaming the muslim brotherhood and islamists. it's difficult to verify what exactly happened with those attacks but what is clear, this country is divided and this conflict not over, kate. the muslim brotherhood promising more demonstrations tonight and tomorrow. >> bloodshed could continue. thank you so much, reza, for the update. the white house walking a very fine line on egypt. so far no change in u.s. policy following the latest round of deadly violence there. secretary of state john kerry condemned the crackdown calling it deplorable, but yet to hear from president obama directly. he's on vacation in martha's vineyard and that's where dan lothian is with much more on

this side of the story. do we expect any hint that we could hear from the president today? >> so far no indication that president obama will come out before the cameras and comment on the situation in egypt. right now secretary of state john kerry has been the face of this issue coming out yesterday, talking before reporters, condemning the violence, calling for restraint and calling on the interim government to respect the rights of the egyptian people. white house deputy spokesman saying the u.s. will continue to hold the interim government accountable for the promise that it made to speed up that transition to a civilian democratic government. pressure coming not only from the u.s. but the international community. the question is, what will happen next? we do know ongoing conversations between u.s. officials and egyptian officials and the delay in a shipment of f-16s to egypt, but, perhaps the biggest thing that the u.s. has is that aid of

more than $1 billion to egypt while there's been a lot of pressure to have that pulled back, the administration so far, the obama administration, saying it is under review. the white house also refusing to call what happened in egypt a coup saying it has been determined it is not in the best interest of the u.s. to do so. chris? >> all right, dan, thank you very much for the reporting. let's get some analysis now and bring in an egyptian journalist and commentator. she, herself, was arrested and assaulted in 2011 while covering the revolution. she is joining us from egypt. can you hear us? >> sure. happy to be here. >> let's start with the situation on the ground. what do you know what day-to-day life is like for people. are they able to get food? is anybody able to work? what do we know? >> we have been under curfew since last night because yesterday the egyptian regime declared a state of emergency

for the next month and announced a curfew for cairo and 13 other provinces throughout the country. last night it started at 9:00 p.m. to give people some time to go home, but tonight it's expected to start a bit earlier around 7:00 p.m. and this is a real problem especially for the working poor who do not have the choice to stay at home. for example, those who run 24-hour food stands. those who need to get to restaurants and hotels. this is a huge problem and, frapg frankly, i don't see how we are under curfew for the next month. people around the sit-ins who were so violently and disturbantly broken up complained their lives were turned upside down and i had relatives not to leave those neighborhoods. what happened yesterday was unconscionable and i absolutely condemn what happened. just as i condemn the burning of churches across the country. and we have to ask in the midst of all of this, where are our security services and why do

security services know only one thing and that is to beat and to shoot to kill? >> this is a confusing situation f , the military deposed a democratically elected leader. what are the feelings towards the u.s. on the ground that you're seeing? >> well, i can tell, i can safely tell you that most camps in egypt do not like the united states very much. and, basically, for the same reason. and that is the united states has a long history of supporting dictators in egypt as it does in many other countries in the name of stability and at the expense of people and freedom. now, what happened with mohamed morsi is, yes, he was voted in last summer, almost a year ago. but i think we need to move beyond the ballot box because for many of us in egypt he became an authoritarian in the way mubarak was an authoritarian

and did not want him to turn into a 30-year dictator. we do not want to return to military rule. the defense minister and who holds the utmost responsibility for what happened last night must understand that just as we ended the military after we got rid of hosni mubarak, we'll stand up to him, as well. not from his lamai islamist rul. >> thank you very much. please, keep us informed about what the situation is for how people are able to live their lives in the midst of all of this. appreciate the commentary on "new day." chilling new details leading to the kidnapping of hannah anderson. paint a gruesome scene inside the home of james dimaggio, who we are now learning was shot five times by the fbi. casey wian is in los angeles with the very latest. good morning, casey. >> good morning, kate. you know, it's hard to imagine that the story of hannah

anderson's kidnapping could get any more disturbing with the release of the search warrants they have. they reveal before her mother and younger brother were killed, they were tortured. grisly new details are surfacing in the alleged kidnapping and murder case of suspect james dimaggio. according to these newly released search warrants, dimaggio tortured and killed his best friend's wife and 8-year-old son and shot and killed the family dog. police also say they found a crow bar and what appeared to be blood on the ground next to christina anderson's body. dimaggio then set his house on fire and kidnapped the couple's 16-year-old daughter, hannah. the documents say he spoke with 13 times on the phone earlier that day. the fbi rescued anderson on saturday and killed dimaggio during the confrontation. an idaho coroner said he was shot as least five times. >> as for my daughter, the healing process will be slow. she has been through a

tremendous, horrific ordeal. >> reporter: now home, anderson has quickly taken to social media to help cope with her pain. most recently posting these pictures to her instagram profile. the first glimpse we're getting of her after the harrowing ordeal. she also posted this picture of her mother and brother writing my two beautiful angels. she dedicated this post to them. the posts hit the social media sphere three days after her rescue leading some to question her public. >> this is a 16-year-old who is totally traumatized. she's not thinking. sometimes in a numb state you're doing things that you don't really, really consider the consequences. >> reporter: but others say social media is, in fact, a good outlet for anderson. >> a ton of research that says when someone has been through a traumatic experience, it's helpful to talk and share their

story. >> reporter: she has shared her story on ask.fm answering an anonymous users questions. why didn't you run? he would have killed me. are you glad he's dead? absolutely. now, that ask.fm account has been disabled but hannah anderson's instagram account was still active. a photo of herself, her father, her mother and younger brother next to a christmas tree and the caption next to that photo, i want to read it to you. dad is not taking this very well. none of us are, but please watch over him. i'm all he's got left. even though you're gone, we're still a team. love and miss you. very disturbing words from a young girl trying to deal with the aftermath of an incredible tragedy. chris and kate. >> casey, thanks so much for the update this morning. a lot of other news developing at this hour. let's get to michaela for that. >> good morning. good morning to you at home. ntsb says there was no distress

a 5-year-old boy hospitalized this morning with a seriouslying injury after falling from a children's roller coaster at new york's coney island. he met the height requirement for it, but apparently crawled under the lap bar and tried to get off the ride before it stopped. the boy was riding with his 7-year-old sister who suffered a minor injury. you might recall michael jordan getting much deserved respect when we showed you a video showing the legend looking as good as ever. we wanted to point out not the only nba old timer who has some moves. dr. j keeping office hours. we should tell you the clip is from back in june, but the nba put it on their youtube channel for all his fans to see to say, yeah, still got it. never lost it. >> 63. you see how good he looks? holy cow. i remember the first time i met dr. j.

his hand went all the way up to my forearm. >> you are a big fellow. >> so elegant on the court and off. >> difficult to say when you're that size to be so elegant. >> with the big hand and the ball coming around the backboard. made my dreams as a kid. great for the doctor. on the weather, the numbers don't lie when it comes to this wetness. record rainfall across the country this summer and shows no signs of letting up. the forecast calls for more heavy rain in the southeast and along the eastern gulf coast. severe thunderstorms expected in the central and southern plains. how do i know? cnn meteorologist indra petersons told me so. what is up with the sogginess? >> literally will not stop. i feel like a broken record. talking about this in june. heavy rain. by july starting to get used to it. record breaking rainfall all of july and august same thing. take a look. in charleston, south carolina, the rain has been relentless.

check out this video of a cyclist struggling to get through the flooded downtown streets. georgia, tennessee and arkansas have seen flash flooding this season as storms continue to drench the south. for many places, it has been the wettest summer on record. in just july, miami beach got a whopping 18.5 inches of rain. in ft. lauderdale, they saw nearly 15.5 inches of rainfall. in hutchinson, kansas, it poured for a week straight. just look at this road that buckled and collapsed. in wichita, this minivan needed a boost after stalling out in the flooded street. in fact, kansas broke 144 rainfall records in the first week of august alone. and they're not alone. chattanooga, tennessee, has already seen more than four inches of rain this month. that's more rain in the first two weeks of august than they usually see in the entire month. philadelphia is having its soggiest summer yet. last month they set an all-time

record for rainfall in a single day when storms dumped eight inches in just six hours. and the northeast is reeling from severe thunderstorms from just this week. in newark, delaware, torrential rain shut down roads while high winds snapped trees. we're still talking about rain. current radar right now. you can tell, line of storms kicking through the area thanks to a stationary front and adding even more moisture to that. the reason for it, some development into the tropics. all this tropical moisture is expected to now combine with the stationary front already in place. what does that mean, anywhere from two to five inches in of rain in the forecast. with the stationary front you combine the two and flooding potential and extremely high and rainfall as high as eight inches as we go through the weekend. turn around, don't drown. i don't want to stand here on monday and talk about people trying to drive through the flood waters. two feet of water is all it

takes to take your car away. >> thank you. he called them drug mules and say they bring violence to this country. congressman steve king is fighting to give documented immigrants legal status. despite huge blow back from members of his own party, he's not backing down. we'll have the congressman on next to talk about it. this story is almost unthinkable. imagine a doctor telling you have cancer and you have to go into treatment, chemotherapy and then find out you never had it. what would drive a physician to lie like that? the answ it's frozen like you've never seen. they've stripped down to only natural ingredients. why? what were you thinking? new lean cuisine honestly good. in the natural frozen meals section.

new lean cuisine honestly good. hd

welcome back to "new day." just before washington cleared

out for august recess steve king from iowa made waves comparing undocumented immigrants, some undocumented immigrants to being drug. >> for every valedictorian there is another out there they have calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert. >> house speaker john boehner criticized that remark calling the remark offensive and wrong and the iowa congressman not backing down on his stance of immigration, especially as we're entering the heat of this debate taking his message on the road. you see here pictures of a rally from reporters covering a rally near eric cantor's virginia district. let's talk about this and more with the congressman joining me now from des moines. congressman, great to see you. thanks so much for taking the time this morning. >> good to be on. thanks for having me on, kate. >> of course. i want to get, you have discussed in the past and

defended your remark of the sound bite we just played. i want to get to where things stand right now. you're not backing down, you're not budging and taking your message and fighting against immigration reform on the road and, most recently, taking it straight to eric cantor's backyard in virginia, near his district. very far from your district in iowa. why go directly there? are you trying to pick a fight? >> no, i'm not about challenging our leadership. in fact, the statements that have been released by them has been by their staff. there's no audio or video of the speaker or the leader making a critical comment of me. and i said when they invited me to go to richmond, i said i'll go, but i'm not going to go into eric cantor's district. i'll carry the message because it is important to be delivered and delivered across many states in the union. it was simply that and i want to deliver the facts here. this debate has gotten so distorted and out of proportion.

and i said the valedictorians who would be the dream act, tugged at my heart strings, too. that was the statement of the clip that you ran and my heart, my heart bleeds for them, as well. but the debate became about those with the most merit rather than the typical. so, i illustrated those with the least merit and a lot of people smuggling drugs across our border. they are good at fraud, they have proven that in the past. >> the staffs are releasing this statement, but speaker boehner and eric cantor do disagree with those remarks and they have made that clear. if that's the case, but if you are right and you clearly, you believe in your message and believe in fighting against immigration reform. if you're right, then why are most, if not all, top republicans, top leaders in your party trying to run away from your statement and your comments as fast as they can? >> well, first, i suspect that

they have not seen the video clip in its entirety. so, they operate also off the staff's recommendations and approve a statement. that's how i envision it, even though we haven't had a conversation. last year almost everybody at my conference would have agreed with me on this immigration issue. this year it seems after the presidential election a spell has been cast over a good number of republicans and they seem to think the presidential election was about immigration. i'd ask them, find me that debate between mitt romney and barack obama that addressed immigration. i don't remember it, i can't find it. the election was about jobs and the economy, not immigration. but some republican strategists and leadership have decided, let's just go ahead and debate immigration for 12 months. pardon me? >> what spell are they under now then. if you think they agreed with you in the past and under some spell now.

i'm not trying to be cute, why do you think they changed their view then? >> i say that because i say no spell has been cast over me and it doesn't seem to be logical or rational to me that this is the right thing to do. they seem to think that in order to slow the decline and the loss of the hispanic vote, that i recognize happened. you might argue that mitt romney arrested that decline, george bush claimed 44% of the hispanic vote in 2004. john mccain achieved 31% of the hispanic vote in 2008. that decline only went 4% with romney and seem to do that calculation that we should sacrifice the rule of law by granting amnesty on what they believe is political expediency for opening up a conversation with a demographic group of people that i think are just as blessed as the rest of us and we should treat them as god's children, all of us not identity of politics. i don't understand it or i wouldn't explain it in that way. >> i want to ask you more

questions on this, obviously. you are talking about republican strategist, who kind of come up with this message and they think they need to bring more latino vote after the 2012 election. anna navarro is a friend of the show. she really didn't mince any words with you over the weekend. you were on "meet the press" and you both sparred back and forth. i mean she used words like mediocre congressman with no legislative record and it kind of went on and on from there and you guys went back and forth. quite heated moments. i think one of the questions that anna is asking and i just want to make sure we ask it to you, is that your comments, maybe not your -- put your message aside. but your comments, they come across, some others think as a veiled bias against latinos. do you just not like latinos? >> well, i think it's pretty clear that anna didn't veil her bias against me.

she didn't address a single fact that i delivered. she hurled accusations and baseless allegations and with regard to the statement of mediocre congressman, my staff listened to that and pointed out to me that i have offered, i am a third in the number of amendments offered in the last decade and of those i had the highest level of passage of those amendments. if you look at objective data that came out lake's office, i might be the most effective congressman in there rather than a mediocre congressman there. i put out a series of facts and she answered none of them and neither did any of the panel. we have a debate going on and they have an agenda. they're for amnesty and they might say they're for border security and the means to get to the end to this amnesty. i'm putting out facts on what it cost this country from a financial standpoint. what it costs us from a rule of law standpoint. they're not responding to that at all.

they won't debate in that arena. i'm not calling anybody names. i'm obeying reagan's 11th commandment. >> you sedana navarro didn't answer questions and you didn't really answer mine either. >> okay, try again. >> that your comments come across as thinly veiled bias against latinos. >> if people interpret it that way i would like to have them explain it. my statement was very narrowly defined. not even just to drug smugglers, but professional drug smugglers that are in physical shape to carry 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert. that's what i described. it's amazing to me that anyone can interpret anything in there that has to do with race or ethnicity. i will say that 80% to 90% of the illegal drugs that are consumed in america come from or through mexico, according to the drug enforcement agency.

that's what i'm speaking to here and i'm laying out something that i think is just completely logical. and i will tell you that my constituents come up and talk to me continually and they say, you're right. keep speaking the truth. and i'm going to keep doing that. the data that i put out here is factual. the violent death rate in the country south of us are greater all the way down to argentina and chile. when you bring in young men -- it's a demographic fact, kate. >> i want to ask you one more quick question. this is a big issue coming from a big name in your own party. marco rubio made -- had a very sharp message and targeted to house republicans that you might not like it. you might not like all of it. when it comes to immigration reform, if you don't get on board with something and president obama will take this out of your hands and go alone on this through executive orders. through executive actions. what do you say, what do you want to say to marco rubio? >> well, first, marco rubio is a

friend. i personally like him and if i speak in disagreement, i will speak towards a gang of eight. i think the point he makes is one that we should be concerned about. about the president going outside the constitution and violating the constitution in his oath of office. >> but saying to try to get you to do something on immigration. >> i think it gets me to do this, speak up for the constitution and remind our leadership and i would remind them, i think marco rubio would agree with me. the president violated the constitution multiple times on multiple topics and the house of representatives should stand up against that instead of moving in. and i'm happy to do a program on that some day, kate. but i don't think america is focused nearly enough on what this president has been doing, his unilateral action go into article one, the legislative arena. >> clearly, much more to discuss

on this. we have to leave it here this morning. congressman steve king, thank you so much for waking up and joining me this morning and talking through some of these issues. have a good one. >> thanks for the conversation, kate, i appreciate it. >> of course. >> all right, kate, good stuff. coming up on "new day" a shocking allegation. the doctor accused of falsely diagnosing patients with cancer. prosecutors say he had only one thing in mind. we'll tell you when we come back.

iv colon cancer. >> i have never been so tired. just exhausted. >> reporter: he was referred to dr. fa t awho begain administra aggressive treatments to kaley. >> to me, it was hard to go through, but when your doctor tells you that is what is going to cure your cancer, you don't argue. >> reporter: kaley joined scores of other patients who were shocked to learn that he was arrested last week on falsely telling patients they had cancer but giving them unnecessary chemotherapy treatments. his motive, pure greed according to prosecutors. he misdiagnosed his patients so he could submit false medicare claims stealing $35 million over a two-year period according to this federal complaint. he went as far as administering dying patients who would not

benefit from the treatment to rake in more money. the criminal complaint does not identify any patients who claim they were mistreated and his client has proclaimed his innocence. several patients are also coming to his defense. >> i don't believe a word of it. i have total faith. >> reporter: still more than 700 of his former patients are weighing in on this facebook page sharing the physical and emotional pain they've endured. one patient saying, what a monster if this all proves to be true. fbi agents raided his lavish home and medical offices seizing $7 million in assets and placing liens of $2 million against him. with him behind bars now on $9 million bond, most of his patients are in limbo trying to find a new oncologist and for some the search is now just beginning because they're just having their medical files returned to them from the fbi. you can imagine how difficult this must be for them. >> thank you for bringing us the story. tha

thank you so much. debbie rowe gave emotional testimony wednesday in the wrongful death suit against the singer's tour promoter. choking back tears as she described competing doctors forcing what she said were dangerous and unnecessary drugs on the pop icon. cnn ted rowlands is in los angeles with much more on this story. good morning, ted. >> good morning, kate. debbie rowe met michael jackson before he had any issues with drug abuse and then she had a front row seat as he spiraled out of control. it was a media frenzy outside this los angeles courthouse after michael jackson's ex-wife, debbie rowe, testified in the wrongful death trial against concert promoter aeg. rowe fought back tears giving jurors a riveting account of the pop star's fear of pain and reliance on doctors. she described how doctors competed with each other, treating jackson for pain after his hair caught on fire during the making of this 1984 pepsi commercial.

rowe testified "these idiots were going back and forth prescribing jackson with pain medications. doctors took advantage of him," she said. they also introduced jackson to propofol, the drug that would eventually kill him. rowe who worked for one of the doctors said at first they used propofol during cosmetic procedures but she said things changed during this 1997 history tour stop in munich, germany, where she says she watched as jackson was given propofol in a hotel room. she said, it "looked like a surgical suite as two an theseiologists put jackson to sleep." >> the defense is claiming he was addicted to prescription medications because they want to say he was responsible for his own demise and if they're held libel, they want to keep the damages low. >> reporter: rowe is the mother of jackson's two oldest children. she gave up custody and didn't see them for years but says now

they reconnected and have an ongoing relationship. the jackson children, along with jackson's mother, katherine, are suing aeg live for a billion dollars saying the concert promoter contributed to michael jackson's death. and debbie rowe spent about four hours on the stand today and the drama will continue when she is back on the stand when court resumes later this morning. >> all right, ted, thanks for the update. 45 minutes past the hour. we'll take a break here on "new day" you'll want to listen to this one. >> i'm sorry, i was sleeping. >> 40 million americans are suffering from chronic sleep disorders unhealthy statistic to be sure. sleeping pills more and more people are using them. could it make you less healthy? dr. sanjay gupta will join us and give the answer.

how can i help you? oh, you're real? you know i'm real! at discover, we're always here to talk. good, 'cause i don't have time for machines. some companies just don't appreciate the power of conversation! you know, i like you! i like you too! at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. get the it card and talk to a real person.

welcome back to "now day." did you get a good night's sleep last night? chances are you did not. 40 million american adults suffer from chronic sleep disorders. 62% are dealing with sleep issues at least a few nights a week. dr. sanjay gupta is here and the concern, dr. sanjay, good to have you here this morning so bright and early and so well slept. so many people, millions upon millions of people are turning to the sleep aids to prescription drugs to help them get a night's sleep. >> about 60 million prescriptions were written last year. this is a huge issue. i probably don't get enough sleep but then i get to hang out with you guys and hang out with a group of people that get less sleep than i do. walking around the building this morning, everybody wants to hear about it. it's concerning. if you look at the quality of good night sleep or getting a sleep aid if you need it, you want to go to sleep and stay asleep. the thing that hasn't been looked at as carefully is how

safely you wake up. when you wake up, how groggy are you, how functional are you the next day? that's where the fda is focusing their attention. we need to look at specific criteria and actually want to test to see how well people function. as a result of that, you're starting to see activity and denying certain drugs coming to market and looking at old drugs like benadryl and saying they have a long half life. be careful when you take these drugs and things like ambien, for women in particular, cut the dose in half because it can affect women and men differently. so, this is a different sort of attitude and stance of the fda. >> now, every -- there are a lot of sleep aids out there and are there some that cause, i guess we can call it a hangover, if you will. cause a longer or worse hangover than others? >> absolutely. what people have looked at something known as half life. something as a half life of two hours. >> meaning how long it stays in the body. >> at two hours it will go to half the dose in the body and two hours after that another half of the dose.

you get the idea. something like ambien may have a half life of two hours. by eight hours, it should essentially be cleared out of the system but let's say you get six hours of sleep and the first two hours you'll be groggy and get in a car and drive, that could be a problem. >> if you are taking this medicine, what kind of math do you need to do? >> the idea is you sort of see how impaired you are before you do anything. get into a car or something like that. that doesn't seem to work. the guidance, i think, much more probably on the drug manufacturer and the fda we have to be careful in allowing people to take these drugs and then do something like operate heavy machinery. 5% of drivers on the road on any given morning are under the influence of sleeping aids. the guidance for a lot of people, don't take these pills unless you need them and recognize you shouldn't take these things long term. these are really designed to get people through a few bad nights if they're having a hard time

sleeping not to become a life-long habit. >> because? >> they could build up some side effects and you may actually have an impairment the next day. you might not be able to funk as we well as you could. >> chamomile tea. >> i think it's a solution. >> if you're having a hard time falling asleep, get out of bed. do something that's not that stimulating. i stay in bed and try to fight it and think i'll fall asleep. get out of bed. >> feel like it makes you crazier laying there. >> always nice to have you up early to join us and now go take a nap. very importanti programming not, you can catch the show that everybody is buzzing about "weed" it is friday night. once again, 10:00 eastern right here on cnn. tune in for that. >> we'll talk later about the connections between sleep -- i'm just kidding. it's too easy. >> that was perfect.

>> okay. >> what the half life is on weed jokes. very important conversation he brought up. whenever sanjay is here, always the good stuff. here's more good stuff for you. stevie was paralyzed in a car accident when she was just 17 years old. years of tough recovery in therapy that followed that but she made a promise to herself, if she ever got married, she would somehow walk down the aisle and that's exactly what she did after months of work, she walked down the aisle with the assistance of her walker and her father, of course. but, you know what, there's something else that makes this the good stuff. how she met her husband. after her accident she didn't give up. she volunteered her time and went to others with similar injuries at local hospitals. one of the people she was helping was brianna who lost her leg in an accident. it was brianna who introduced stevie to her future husband. >> it's amazing to know that i

introduced them. at the beginning they were just friends and they fell so madly in love. >> i am just so excited to finally be married and know that i'm marrying my best friend. i married my best friend i guess i can say now and i know we're going to laugh for the rest of our lives. >> she only had to walk down the aisle because, a real husband already the first moment he carries her back up. >> there was not a dry eye in that room, i'm sure. >> that is awesome. >> beautiful person on a lot of levels and it is the good stuff because she did not become even just about her own recovery. she immediately started giving back to others and wound up coming back to her. as she said, the best friend and partner for the rest of her life. >> the amount of work she had to do, the rehab to walk down that aisle. >> i'm sure it was exhausting. always the case, but for her, i'm wondering if it was extra. the fatigue of that emotion, too. >> good stuff. thank you for giving us that story. comes from you. keep them coming.
