now. announcer: this is "new day" good morning. welcome to "new day." it's june 26, 6:00 in the east. say it with me. we believe that we can win. we believe that we can win. u.s.-germany, it could all come down to this, the match to escape the group the death. win or draw in and a draw gets tense. tens of millions expected to tune in. here is the setup to the date with destiny. it's a fight to the death, or really to escape the group of death. team usa and germany facing off in hopes of advancing to the next 16-team knockout stage. both teams needing only a draw to draw a coveted sweet 16 spot. the highly anticipated showdown

between red, white and blue and the powerhouse german team ranks second best in the world. the match is almost sure to exceed the record 25 million viewers who tuned in to the u.s. versus portugal game on sunday. thousands gathering across the country to watch the heated match. >> usa! usa! >> and add to that excitement the clash of cultures. team usa's roster stocked with five german-american including star players fabian johnson and jermaine jones now going head-to-head against the very same players they grew up with. that said, johnson isn't sweating it. >> i played them already in the leagues. i think it's nothing special anymore. >> and the intensity of the rivalry doesn't end there. team usa coach jurgen klinsmann faces off against his former assistant and close friend who now leads the german team. the two quickly dismissing any

rumors of conconspireing to tie. >> now going to this world cup, obviously everybody is doing the best he can do. >> boy oh, boy. it just gets bigger and bigger. we want to get right to the scene of where this is going on. let's bring in miss lara baldecerra joining us from brazil. i seen you've taken to an odd religious order or you're a jedi. what's going on with what is your head? what is the weather and tell us what you know about the team. >> oh, chris, it is absolutely miserable here. i'm far from the comforts of my studio from when i anchor my show. this rain is pouring down here. it will not let up. i have my hood on to protect me and mostly my hair. >> do you? >> nonetheless, in terms of this game, this could have a really big impact depending on what this rain does to the actual pitch. if the pitch does not hold up with all of this water that's

falling down on it, that could actually really benefit the americans because, as we know, the germans, they are pretty much through so they don't have to risk anything. they don't have to go out there and put their bodies at risk of anything or anything like that. that would really help the americans, but i'm hoping that this pitch does hold up so we don't have to worry about injuries. >> pull up your hood, first of all, because if you're going to maintain this completely ridiculous look because of the rain, should have gotten a cnn hat or something like that. you're looking over there. >> it's not even my jacket, chris. >> it's raining so hard but there's no rain on you. why do you need that hood on? >> because it's blowing here, chris. it's blowing. i have to protect the hair. it just comes in on every anaheim angel. >> can't see your eyes. >> help me out with this part. there's the whole german connection on here that we've been talking about, it right? we have our coach, the u.s.

coach, was the german coach, really tight with the current german coach. crossover between the two teams with nationality, and then there was this suggestion that because of this and the history of germany, a long time ago 1982 in the world cup, maybe the teams would collude. you were adopting this kool-aid before you developed this new monkish gash. what do we think that have now? >> i think i was basically making this kool-aid and i got you drinking it as well. i think it's definitely a possibility, but more so because, like i said, there's no reason to risk anything in this game. germany and the usa both need a draw and they are both through. that being said why go out there and risk anything? we heard the players talk yesterday and we heard jurgen klinsmann talk and he said, of course not. of course we're not going to play for a draw and it's not in our mentality. sure, that's not the thing. you're not going to go out there and say, hey, i'm not going to try to win, but at the same time if you're in a situation where

the game is tied you don't necessarily have that mentality and that drive that tells you, hey, we really need to push for this goal. we really need to get this win. it's sort of a different mentality and that's what can end up affecting this and it becoming a draw. chris, we need to remember that the world cup, the goal here is to win the world cup. it's not necessarily to win one match, especially this match where neither team needs to. >> that's the important point of analysis because in my head as the uninitiated, you're in the world cup, have every incentive to go for it every match. no, if the goal is the ultimate victory, you do what you need to when you have, to and you're saying a draw here suits both sides so that may be the dominant principle. all right, i get it now. we'll bring you back later in the show and give you time to compose yourself because this look isn't working, baldeserra, not world cup worthy. >> so much for sunny brazil. >> i want to remember you like this always, lara. thank you for coming to us in tough situations.

we'll be back to you soon. >> let's turn now to the deadly crisis in iraq. extremists expanding their grip over nearly a third of the country. the situation leading what can really only be described as a bizarre kind of sort of alliance in the region with both iran and syria now launching missions inside the country of iraq, both seemingly at the moment working towards the same immediate goal as the united states. on tuesday syrian warplanes bombed iraqi border towns held by isis. iran has sent in drones, advisers and arms to the region. still, with all of this, the prime minister, iraq's prime minister, nuri al maliki, dismissed the idea of an emergency government to respond to the sectarian tensions there. a warning that secretary of state john kerry, he downplayed, the secretary also saying that the united states air strikes, any air strikes coming from the u.s. in iraq at this point would

be an act of irresponsibility. for the very latest let's get over to baghdad for the very latest. what's the latest, nima? >> reporter: the brit irforeign secretary has arrived in baghdad and that's been seen as bit of a bolster what we would consider the u.s. side of this alliance, the west side of this alliance, because it is really shaping up to be an uncomfortable alliance. you have iran flying its drones overhead, as you just told us. you also have syrian cross-border raids, their fighter jets hitting isis positions, and then in addition to that, we're looking at the possibility there's a mehdi army, killing u.s. soldiers during the u.s.-led war in iraq. they could also be joining this alliance against the sunni extremists isis. it is, of course, an alliance of necessity, perhaps even an alliance of opportunism because the reality is on the ground is

that isis seems to be evolving to meet the various challenges that it's being faced with. now it seems to be taking a more irregular tactic kick out, using car bombs, using suicide bombs, a horrifying attack just south of baghdad killing dozens, around the u.n. said this death toll is already over 1,000 and that's set to raise. >> thanks for that update. more of your headlines right now. breaking overnight, the accept for missing flight 370 is shifting further south now. the new search zone is still along that seventh arc in the southern indian oh, the site of the airline's last satellite communication. australian officials made the announcement this morning saying it's highly likely that the plane was on autopilot until it ran out of fuel. we'll discuss this more coming up later in the show. also breaking overnight. dozens of people attending an avicii concert in hospital have been hospitalized.

i don't think you'll give us the forecast in brazil but lara did a pretty good job with her hood pulled up. what's it look like here? >> raining here, surprise, surprise. talking about those storms all overnight. still talking about the showers here this morning and as the day goes on it goes, the farther north in the northeast like boston, will be hanging on to the rain until none or so. high pressure is building in. that's the key. as we get klose closer to the weekend, guys, it's only going to be looking better out there. as far as the rain totals, still heavy amounts could be possible, two to three inches around the new england area. clearing out again for the weekend. temperatures hot and muggy. this is staying. all that gulf moisture is still hanging around for the weekend so, yes, that's going to be the story here. keep in mind though a changing story. once you talk about the planes, another system making its way through so still the potential for severe weather today and especially moving in towards the midwest as we head to the weekend as well. that's something we'll have to keep our eyes on but you did mention the big game, kate, and, unfortunately, it does look like

that forecast, that outfit lara wearing, staying on, 80% to 90% chance of showers throughout the game with the humidity at 79% when you talk about 82 degrees and rainy. we'll see how that impacts the game, guys. >> more and more factors adding to the fun of the game. thank you so much. >> mickey nailed it. lara brought us the full kenny, in the full kenny outfits from brazil. i couldn't think of it. i was going with jed irktjedi, >> when about the character from "space balls. request ". >> you love that movie in a way many do not. >> that and "scrooge" and isn't this a character from "scrooge" as well. >> "scrooge" is quality. >> a lot of news coming up on "new day." coming this, a tragic accident or murder? we're learning more now about the arrest of a father who claims that he forgot his toddler was inside a sweltering suv. why then police think that he tried to kill his own son.

welcome back. chilling new details from the arrest warrant of a georgia father charged with murder after leaving his 22-month-old son inside a broiling suv for hours. justin harris says that he forgot the toddler was in the car, but investigators now say that he actually went back to the car on his lunch break with the boy still inside the vehicle. cnn's victor blackwell is in marietta, georgia, with much more on these troubling details. victor? >> kate, lots of big developments in this story. you mentioned the new arrest warrant, also a change in charges, an answer for the people asking where is mom in all of this and a new claim from police that dad did not go directly to work that fateful day? >> early wednesday morning justin harris was seen in the chick fillet. after breakfast he was seen

strapping his 22-month-old son cooper into his car seat. he drop less than a mile away to his home support center where he works as a web designer. normally he takes his son to the day care center but not on this day. instead he ended to his office and left his son in the car seat in the blazing sun. >> harris returned to the suv at lunchtime and opened the driver's side door and placed something inside. he then placed the door and walked off. the temperature outside hit 88 degrees that afternoon. the temperature inside the suv, potentially exceeded 130 degrees and cooper was likely already dead. the arrest warrant says at 4:16 at the end of the workday harris returned to the suv and started the drive home. seven minutes later and about two miles down the road harris screeched into this parking lot. >> hopped out of the driver's seat, opened the back door and pulled his child out, laid him on the concrete and tried to resuscitate him.

>> but little cooper was dead. patrol officers were in the area when the 911 calls came in. >> medical personnel arrived on the scene to determine that a child apparently had been in the automobile, the father's automobile since about 9:00 this morning. >> harris told police he somehow had forgotten to drop cooper off at day care that morning. >> he screamed what have i done loudly? obviously it was a bit dramatic, you know, hands in the air looking up towards the sky, what have i done. >> reporter: but police say it was all an act charging him with cruelty to a child and felony murder. >> you'll be entering a plea of not guilty at this time. >> reporter: more than 10,000 people have signed an online petition urging the district attorney to drop the charges. >> there's no way it would have been intentional, especially from the father's reaction. >> reporter: meanwhile investigators continue to search for answers. for all the people wondering where is mom in all of this? investigators told us that she was interviewed here by detectives, although they would not give any other details about

that conversation. there was also a downgrade of that child cruelty charge from first-degree to second-degree, changing that essentially from malice to negligence, although, chris and kate, there is an inconsistency in the message from the police department. a police spokesperson could not say if this was intended or not. if justin ross harassment to leave his car in that car, though the chief released a written statement saying the facts of the time line point to more than just negligence and this was not simple negligence. so we know that the police will not be the ones arguing this in court, but an inconsistent message here from cobb county police. chris, kate. >> victor, i think you got your finger right on it. we have to be really careful. you have. you're giving great guidance in your reporting. reducing the charge is huge. we're going to discuss it with legal experts because it may remove the homicide charge. felony murder, you need a certain level of crime to make

it felony murder. them reducing the charge, while at the same time kind of bolstering their case that he knew what he was doing, is very inconsistent legally and just logically so we'll give you more of the analysis of what's going on in this case. >> thanks, victor. thanks for staying on top of that for us. it all comes back to the question what happened when and why and that's the basis of it. >> we'll stay on it. a little sport talk right now. the nfl has this big problem with people who have had concussions in football. well, they just removed the $675 million cap from this landmark settlement that they are trying to make with their former players. the league hopes this move will clear the way for the deal to finally get approved. remember, a judge kicked out the deal saying it wasn't enough money. more from the bleacher report. what do we think about this they over the hump? >> certainly hope so, chris. the cap was the sticking point in this case from the district judge who said she didn't feel like $675 million would be

enough to cover claims by as many as 20,000 retired nfl players so the nfl has agreed to lift the cap on damages and they limited a cap from preventing former players to sue the nfl or former leagues. tim lincecum is not the force he used to be but he was vintage lincecum as he no-hit the padres for the second time in less than a year. how did he celebrate? by rocking a team usa soccer jersey and a gladiator helmet in the clubhouse. certainly is ready for today's pivotal match with germany and on bleacherreport.com this morning are all the scenarios for team usa to advance today. a win or tie are the simple ones. we move on if those happen. the game kicks off at noon eastern. . everyone, of course, wants to skip work to watch this match. don't worry. head coach jurgen klinsmann has us covered. he wrote everyone a get out of

work letter. the team tweeted it out yesterday. print this off and bring it to your boss and you should be good. guys, if that doesn't work, i advise everyone to just take an extended lunch break today. >> deal. >> on it. >> thank you very much. >> i look forward to all the suits against you when people are returning. >> everyone will be watching anyway. pleau ducktivity will be way down if you're not out watching. >> andy scholes' predibs. thanks, andy. coming up next on "new day," the search area for malaysian flight 370 shifting again. what investigators are saying about how and where the plane went down. >> plus, i don't know about you, but i've never seen anything like this. a boy missing for weeks located. his father gets the news during a live interview with nancy grace. take a listen. >> we are getting reports that your son has been found alive in your basement?

welcome back. breaking overnight. a new search area has been announced for missing malaysian airlines flight 370. investigators will now head southwest to a zone that spans approximately 23,000 square miles, roughly the size of west virginia. this new focus is based on new findings from the satellite

data. joining us now is the director of special project at woods hole oceanographic institute who point out you've met with the australian officials coordinating the search and also co-led the search for air france flight 447. god to see you, my friend. it's been a while. >> likewise. >> want to talk about new information from the press conference earlier this morning investigators are maintaining they are confident the plane flew in a straight path on autopilot. what makes them so confident in those two things? >> well, i think looking at the handshakes again and following that plane over time over those hours across the many arcs that the course is so straight and true that i think the feeling is that it must have been an autopilot and not in the hands of an individual. >> is there any other scenario that would make you think otherwise? >> well, you know, i'm an on the water and under the water guy so i want to know where the plane was last in the air but having talked to that gang they got

multiple teams working these problems, and if there's one way i can describe them, it's confident that they are on the right course so, you know, i think they are really on to this, and this is where they are going to stay on this, that it was autopilot. >> their confidence bolsters your confidence in them? >> i came away, michaela feeling they were on a very steep learning curve early on in this investigation, but they recognized where the weaknesses were and filled those weaknesses and, yeah, i came away incredibly confident that they were very capable in handling this underwater search. >> if we recall correctly, you have always maintained that the plane would be further south. remind us why? >> i did, you know. it was very simplistic because i didn't have enough information to be distracted by everything that went on up north, so it was a very simple calculation, but it's a little bit rewarding to see that we're back down in the south. it's very difficult terrain, this area that they picked out.

it will be very tough to search that area so we'll have to see what happens. >> very difficult as you said, very deep, two to three miles deep. if i do my calculations correctly, that's about 1,100 miles off the coast still, and this is an area that hasn't been mapped, though i understand a chinese ship is working to map it. give us a sense of that, tell us, because you're under the water, on the water guy. give us a sense of this. >> one of the things i had to do was before they really began anything is to have a good map of the bottom of the ocean so you don't end up running in the mountains and valleys and canyons and things and they have two ships, one a chinese ship and the second one is a brand new dutch ship. that's a very modern and very capable so they will come back with some incredible maps, and i think what we're going to find is the center of the search area is one of the most rugged places at the bottom of the ocean. there's one cliff there that's two miles straight up and down so it's incredibly rugged in

places and also fairly smooth in places so we'll have to see how they handle this. >> so they will bring in many so of the same tools we saw last time around. we know that the bluefin had some challenges with the terrain that you're dealing with. you're saying this is more rugged terrain. will they need a tougher arsenal of tools at their ready? >> they are in that process right now, michaela and putting the call out for capable teams and tools and so i think we're going to see an array of autonomous vehicles, robotic vehicles and towed veerks, vehicles towed behind a ship and it's probably going to take a combination of those to cover this kind of terrain and the kind of time that's available so we're going to see a little bit of everything showing up on the scene, and that's what's necessary. >> want to go back to your meeting recently with angus huston and some of the authorities there in australia estimated about 110 days no this now. you say you're confident. you say they are confident. is there a level of frustration?

is there a level of fatigue, or has this pause period given them a chance to sort of re-energize themselves to get ready to go again? >> sure. i think that whole bit up north on the zenith plateau expecting at any day now they may come across the wreckage on bottom because they thought they heard the pings was a frustrating experience. when we did air france 447, we spent two months in a haystack where there never was a needle so we shared some of those stories and i sense there was. angus huston is an amazing man, you know. he just -- leadership is one thing that you feel when you're in his presence and he's very calm and he just puts all that stuff behind us as experience and now let's look forward and get moving, moving ahead. >> well, they certainly have to get moving and keep looking forward, at least for those families, because 239 passengers

and crew aboard and their families agonizing by the day. david gallo, thanks for be back with us and looking at the new information. >> coming up next on "new day" hillary clinton trying to clean up a bit of a pr mess about her personal wealth. how much has it cost her? our political panel breaks it down. >> i like that. political wealth, what it cost, good. tonight cnn's original series "the signaturesies" returns with the stories of american freedom fighters who never fired a shot but certainly blazed the trail. >> i say segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever. >> we're marching today to demonstrate to thenation hundreds of thousands of negro citizens in alabama denied right to vote.

>> you misuse democracy in the streets. >> we are confronted primarily with a moral issue. >> do you think you can keep birmingham in the present situation of segregation? >> i may not be able to do it but i'll die trying. >> i thought we were going to be arrested, and the major said troopers advance. i thought i was going to die. >> i believe the time has come for the president to step in. >> it's all of us who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice. >> "the sixties" tonight at 9:00 on cnn. ♪ she can print amazing things, right from her computer.

hillary rodham clinton heads to san francisco today, the latest stop on her big book tour promoting her new memoir "hard choices. "can the clinton has been in damage control mode after making some poor choices with her words, like suggesting she and the former president aren't truly well off. did she really say that or is it just about interpretation? no matter how you look at it she now wants to hit the reset button. here's cnn's brianna keilar with more. >> reporter: hillary clinton finally nailing the question about her wealth in an interview with pbs' gwen ifill. >> i shouldn't have said i think five or so words that i said, but, you know, my inartful use of those few words doesn't

change who i am, what i've stood for my entire life, what i stand for today. >> reporter: it took almost three weeks for her to clean up the mess from this comment to abc's diane sawyer during the debut interview for her new book. >> we came out of the white house not only dead broke but in debt. we had no money when we got there and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for chelsea's education. >> reporter: clinton made another gaffe this weekend, this time in an interview with britain's "the guardian newspaper." she said people, quote, don't see me as part of the problem because we pay ordinary income tax unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names, and we've done it through i didn't of hard work. she went on to talk about her record and creating a level playing field according to a transcript of the full interview obtained and verified by cnn, but the damage was done. tuesday her husband came to her defense. >> it is factually true that we

were several million dollars in debt. she's not out of touch, and she advocated and worked as a senator for things that were good for ordinary people, and before that all her life. >> reporter: but clinton didn't let the former president speak for her. >> my husband was very sweet today, but i don't need anybody to defend my record. i think my record speaks for itself. >> reporter: and on the topic of a presidential run in 2016 she made clear it's not an easy decision. >> it's a very hard job, and it's a job that, you know, you have to be totally consumed by and that's kind of the definition of being a little bit crazy. >> reporter: brianna keilar, cnn, washington. >> thank you so much. let's dig a little deeper. chris is ready to do just that with cnn political commentators paul begala, democratic strategist and senior adviser and kevin madden, cnn commentator and republican strategist. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> what do you make of this

explanation? has she cleaned up her mess? >> first off, not much of a mess. this is what voters are going to judge. they are going to judge what is in her record and in her heart, not what is in her wallet. i mean, obviously she had to correct the inartful language they use. they don't care how rich you are, they care if you're on their side. if you want to help them lift themselves out of the poverty and middle class, out of the middle class and into wealth, then they will be for you. that's why americans loved jfk who was a child of great privilege or fdr, another very wealthy president so it's not the wealth it's whose side are you on. the more she can get it to those issues. >> didn't she bring this on herself when she described their situation as dead broke? >> that's a factually true statement. they were 10 million in debt, but so what. who cares? nobody cares. what they care about are you going to help me get a job, will you be creating jobs, raising minimum wage so moms can be good

moms and good workers? she clocked barack obama among working class voters when she ran against him. she's got good rapport and watch the tape of her cnn town hall meeting. had really good rapport with the folks in that audience, none of whom were super wealthy. >> well, right, but let's not confuse the situation. can you not help me if you do not give me, so, kevin, let me put this to you. your side and the critical nature of this is you're trying to make a point about who she is versus who she wants to represent. how are you using this? >> well, look, let me agree first with paul on the first part of what he said is that voters tend to not worry about how much in someone's own purse as much as they care about what is is in theirs. the problem for hillary clinton here is that she set up her own level of distraction with even getting to that message. paul is right, the relatability issue is so important. voters want to know that you understand the problems of people like them, and it's impossible to do that when

hillary clinton goes about talking about struggles in america through the lens of her own personal experience because that experience is nothing like the average american's right now so that i think is going to continue. i don't think this is something that is going to be an absolute roadblock, but at the very outset of her steps back into the political arena, it is certainly -- she has created an incredible challenge for herself going forward. >> let's talk about the latest battle between house republicans and the white house, well, specifically the president. let's throw up this graphic. taking a look at executive orders that have been issued, present and past. john boehner says that he intends to sue the president over the president's executive actions. as we've pointed out many times before on cnn, he has far less executive orders that he's issued than many of his predecessors. why then, and this isn't a new fight, republicans have been mad about this for a while, why then kevin is this a worthy fight to be taking on right now? >> look, first of all, this is

not and john boehner has made it clear. this is not about the volume of executive actions, the context of these actions, and what happened now is that you have a president who has exceeded his authority. he took an oath to faithfully uphold laws enacted and in many cases he has unilaterally amended and enacted statutes and in doing so has taken power away from the legislature so john boehner i think is doing in a an effort to defend the institution of congress and that he believes that this is something that it's their duty to uphold as part of the constitutional oath that they took as members of congress. >> paul, do you see this as a noble attribute of the speaker and the republicans, or is this just a naked political move? >> well, maybe in between. it may be a canny, savvy, smart political move. john boehner is a smart guy and good legislator. kevin knows him so i don't want to pretend to him. like all speakers he cares

desperately about his branch of government and leads the legislative branch of government so i think there's something legitimate in his motives. at the same time i wonder, and madden can tell us, i wonder if this is a ploy to head off at the pass some of the truly crazy people in his party who might want to impeach the president, or else it might be also legal stretching. you never know what this -- the five right wing lawyers on the supreme court might do. i'm old enough to remember when they rejected the vote of the people and installed a guy who lost as president so even though i think the president is clearly, clearly within his constitutional mandate in issuing executive orders, my lord, that's how abraham lincoln freed the slaves, emancipation proclamation was an executive order. boehner might be a smart move for him. i don't like it as a person who worked as a staffer for the congress and white house but politically might be a smart move. >> kevin, one final point and the white house is happy to cost this out. the cost that this could bring

to taxpayers. the last time -- you don't know the cost of what this kind of legal action could be for taxpayers because they will be footing the bill. the last legal action that the gop house took against the president, that came up to a total of $2.3 million. how do you argue that? >> there is a cost. they have to have a very substantive argument that the costs would be greater if we're allowed to have the executive act in an unchecked manner not consistent to the constitution. to paul's point, working for john boehner, two attributes driving this. he believes in a very measured approach which i believe that this lawsuit is, and also he's somebody who is dedicated to the institution. he believes that when he took his oath of office as speaker of the house of representatives he was upholding the laws that were enacted and that this is part of that constitutional duty that he has. >> look, we'll continue it as we see what the lawsuit is and where it goes. paul, kevin, thanks for weighing

in. there's a hypocrisy here that exceeds partisanship. congress has kept giving the president more and more authority. this president and others. they keep relinquishing their responsibility when it suits them. just remember the iraq war. they wanted the president to just go all by himself. he basically had to force a vote so they pick and choose when their constitutional authority needs to be respected. >> and both sides are guilty of complaining about this as much. >> both sides do it, it's just their turn. >> that's why it's frustrating when it seems unlikely, especially in the near term, you're going to see any kind of movement on this legal action. >> and that's what this lawsuit is about another move to not do anything. that's the unfortunate part for you. coming up on "new day," an incredible moment of live tv, no exaggerati exaggeration. nancy grace on your left telling the father on your right that his missing son has been found alive and well, but where? in his own basement. >> unbelievable. >> you get to see his reaction

welcome back, everyone. now to a truly bizarre ending in the search for a missing detroit boy. the father was told during a live interview with nancy grace that his son was found alive in his home, in his own basement. detroit police say 12-year-old charlie bafle was found behind a makeshift barricade. rosa flores is following developments for us. rosa? >> you know, as bizarre as it finds, finding this missing 12-year-old solves one issue and that is the missing child case, but it hays raises so many que about possible adult involvement because police say, hear this, there is no way this child could have barricaded himself in that basement. >> we're getting reports that your son has been found in your base me

basement. sir? are you -- >> what? >> a bizarre revelation, live on the air. this father is apparently shocked to find out his missing son is alive. >> yeah. we are getting reports that your son has been found alive in your basement. >> what? >> yes. >> questions are swirling around the discovery of 12-year-old charlie, what should have been a happy ending to a missing child case is now shrouded in mystery. the boy's father tells hln's nancy grace that it's impossible for his son to have been in the basement for the nearly two weeks he was missing. >> sir, did you check your basement? >> i checked my basement. the fbi checked my basement, the detroit police checked my basement. my wife checked my basement. i've been down there several times. >> detroit police confirmed that investigators saw no signs that

the boy after searching the home four times, including once with a cadaver dog. >> the fbi searched, detroit police searched. we've all searched. god, they brought dogs, everything. everybody has searched. oh, my god, my son. >> according to police charlie was found barricaded behind boxes and a large five-gallon drum raising suspicions as to whether someone might have hidden him. >> there's no way he could have erected this makeshift area of concealment. it would be hard for me to sit here and tell you that someone didn't know that charlie was there. >> where's the dad? >> in an impromptu press conference as the father arrived home from nancy's show charlie's father vehemently denies having any knowledge of his son's whereabouts. >> for anybody to imply that i somehow knew that my son was in the basement it's absurd and it's wrong. i love my son. i'm glad that he's home.

i thought my son was dead, man. >> now according to police, the boy was taken for a medical examination and his parents are yet to see him. now at this point no word from police about any adults being charged, but they do say that authorities are still investigating the bizarre circumstances leading to this discovery. >> chris, i've never heard anything like this before. >> bizarre, not even a strong enough word for what that situation is. >> the tv aspect alone. that's, you know, so -- it was so -- >> two weeks in the basement? >> nancy grace, there wasn't even any need to hype it, you know what i mean, because it was such a weird situation to begin, but if it's true that the basement was searched by all these different authorities and presumably by the parents involved, then how did the boy wind up in the basement alive if he couldn't have put himself there? >> the boy's physical condition will tell them a lot and hopefully he'll be able to speak to authorities. >> too bad we have to be so skeptical, you know.

>> well, it is, and sometimes you get ahead of yourself, you know. you have to be cautious like we do with the kid who was found dead in a car in georgia. you want to make sure you do that before you condemn parents. >> take care of the child first. >> but this kid is 12 years old, so there's almost zero chance assuming he's health and normal that he won't be able to say exactly what happened to him. >> yeah. >> that is an amazing one. we'll stay on this one. we've been light on this story so far, but with these revelations it will demand serious coverage and you'll get it from us. one of the big stories that's starting your new day. a big, big question for everybody just a few hours away. can team usa get it done against germany? also, there is new evidence this morning against the father who forgot his son in that sweltering car, so we have information for you. let's get to it. >> we've been waiting for this game for quite a long time. it's massive. >> this is the biggest game of a lot of our lives. >> it's been widened obviously in the last couple of days.

>> disturbing evidence that the war is not limited by borders. >> it's highly unlikely that the iraqi military is going to go to recapture a lot of the ground that they have lost. >> harris told police he somehow had forgotten to drop cooper off at day care that morning. >> laid him on the concrete and tries to resuscitate him. police say it was all an act. >> hands in the air, arms towards the sky, what have i done? >> good morning, welcome back to "new day." you gotta believe. we believe that we can win. that's the chant you're going to hear from americans, excitement building, just about five hours, high noon in the east. that's when team usa will take on germany at the world cup. a win and they are in. a draw, still may set them up for more, but if they don't win it gets very complicated. they may not get out of the group of death and on to the sweet 16. can't hype it enough. this is huge, the biggest thing for u.s. soccer that we've been collectively experiencing here in the u.s. so let's get to

cnn's lara baldeserra live in rainy brazil, lara going the full kenny this morning for coverage. tell us the situation on the ground, my friend. >> i've got my hood pins back now. >> much more believable. >> you can see my eyes, this is very good, thank you. it just continues to rain here. there's really nothing else to say. the rain continues to pour and now we get reports in that there's a lot of flooding all around the town here and this is no good. i'm interested to see what this is going to do to the actual state of this pitch. it could have major impact on this game, depending on what it is because, think about it this way. germany, they don't need to win. the usa, they don't need to win so you don't want to put out players and risk them for injury, especially if the pitch is really poor. i mean, players, they can lose their footing, that's not good and that limb pact them moving forward which we're hoping that the usa manages to do today. >> one more question for you, lara what. are you hearing about the team

in terms of any strategy shifts that this will mean today because obviously the weather is huge in sport, specifically this one. >> we're not hearing too much. everybody has been very, very tight-lipped. we're pretty much expecting the exact same squad pretty much as we saw the usa field against portugal, and that worked out pretty good for them except for the last 30 seconds, but don't expect too many changes. these are -- these guys, they have worked so far and klinsmann is happen we them and we'll see how that goes. no big changes to report at this point. >> boy, the scene behind you is completely closed out since we last spoke to you. we can hear the rain. definitely going to be a factor. thank you for touching it out and coming to us this morning. back later on. what does this mean. are you going to put jozy altidore with the bad hamstring on the pitch if it's so slippery out there when you need him so much for the rest of the tournament? who knows? i'll tell you who does, greg lalas, former major league soccer player and editor-in-chief of mlssoccer.com

and the game is so big we're going outside the world of soccer and bringing in malik rose, two-time nba champion from comcast sportsnet philadelphia. great to have you both, fellas. let's start with the obvious. conditions matter in this sport. how do they play into strategy what, lara was saying about how hard you try? how real is this? >> i think it plays into your strategy in that you need to be extra cautious with every single pass that you make because the ball is going to be skipping, and then if the field starts to get really he have, then the ball starts to get very heavy and starts slowing down actually, especially if there's a puddle or something like that. you don't know what drainage there is at this stadium so basically what they need to do somebody cautious at every moment, especially against this german team that can turn the game very quickly into the attack. >> what is the key to the german team. if it's raining throughout the game, is it helping the u.s., helping germany because you've said germany can turn the game

around? >> i would always say it will help the u.s., it will always help a team less skillful than the more skillful team. >> germany wins out on skill? >> yes, we have to admit that. >> no, we don't. >> it doesn't mean we can't get the result. >> still positive about this, and in fact the rain can help because the u.s. team has the ability to go with sort of a more powerful game, a long game, play it up to the forwards, get it out wide and just go on the phalanx because that's where germany is week and if they can get -- >> week in the flank. >> flank play. >> flank action. >> joy on the wings. >> i like that. >> you're giving him all sorts of news. >> i want to bring you in on this. soccer is not your game. i hear that you're kind of going bananas about this world cup and i know a lot has been made about the travel schedule especially for the u.s. team. talked about it here, that they are having to do more travel within brazil, a big nation. germany has a day more rest, i'm told, than our guys do. how much do you think that, a, affects a player and gets in your head, because that's

another way it can affect a player? >> weak player, i believe it can get in their head. the stop stage of the game. just nothing else matters. when there's been a lot made about the special treatment given to germany and whatever and when you're in the u.s. and have as much support behind you and so much about the game coming up, got to throw all that stuff out window and do what you can to get a win or in this case a tie. >> i was happy to have you here, malik, for a lot of reasons and one is forget the sport. the mindset of the competitive athlete at the highest end. we keep saying it draws good. it draws god and there's no question that this sport functions differently than the nba does, no such thing. >> no biting in the nba. >> got to get your take on a bite. >> has anyone bit you, everyone ever bite you during an nba game? >> no one ever bit me. >> did you bite anyone? >> never any hot sauce on the bench so i couldn't bite anyone and the last time someone bit someone, mike tyson lost his license for a long time so i

would be shocked if anyone else tried to do that. >> the idea of, oh, you know, i'm not going to go all out, i'm going to take it easy. i only need -- even the idea in a seven-game series, do you think that guys are capable of going easy? >> i think that's more a question for greg because i've never been in that situation, but i was just thinking in the competitive nature of things, you really want to beat somebody when they are at your best, always put your best foot forward. no asterix or anything should be put by these matches. >> you're competitive in the beginning, especially the beginning. going to get a win. if you get a goal, oh, we got them and now we can go and get this win but if after 60 minute, still 0-0 or 1-1 and both know, there's a psychological thing that flips i don't need to get hurt and we're both through and i want to play on tuesday or monday or whenever the next game is so i'm going to relax a little bit. >> especially with the rain.

>> got to be big. jozy altidore, you think we don't see him because the hamstring so vulnerable to quick starts and stops? >> i think jozy altidore, he's been sort of ruled out of this game so i think it's going to come down to clint dempsey. talked about him, scored two goals already. he's huge. >> i think we need michael bradley to step up. that turnover kills us against portugal. >> give us predictions. who are the players to watch? >> my two. >> give me your two. >> because of germany's great attack i'm going with matt besler, center guy for sporting kansas city, great guy, i think he's one of them and i'm going with his teammate in kansas city graham zusi who had the assist on the corner kick to your favorite player and the beautiful pass to clint dempsey. >> win, draw or pass? >> draw, 1-1. >> even before he said germany was weak up front i was going to michael bradley to step upped and definitely clint dempsey to play well. looking for a repeat in 1980 the american hockey team gave us the

miracle on ice. looking for the miracle on grass. >> miracle on rainy grass. >> as many as 20 million plus expected to watch this game so this is something that everybody will be talking about it. so stay on it. fellows, thanks so much. >> good to see a big man talking soccer. >> miracle on the grass. >> i believe he's got fancy feet. >> delicate foot right there. >> such a delicate little flower. >> let's take a look at our headlines, as much as i don't want to break away from this conversation we do have news breaking overnight and the updated search zone for flight 370. it's still along the arc that they are looking at in the southern indian ocean, the site of the plane's last satellite communication. however, it is further south. australia's deputy prime minister made the announcement this morning and also saying it's highly likely that the plane was an outpilot until it ran out of fuel. also breaking overnight, dozens of concert-goers hospitalized during a show in boston. officials say people were being

treated for dehydration, some reportedly heavily under the influence of drugs and alcohol. local media says as many as 80 people were treated at the hospital or outside the venue during an avicii show at the td garden. avicii sent out a tweet after hearing about the incident saying those are with thoughts of those affected and their families. gm telling carmakers in the u.s. and canada to stop selling 2013 and 2014 chevy cruzes because of a potential air bag defect. a gm spokesman says the move involves some 33,000 vehicles. another recall, in fact, could soon follow. this latest issue stems from beleaguered air bag supplier takata whose faulty product has already led to the recall of 10 million cars worldwide. those are your headlines. over to you, kate. >> thanks, michaela, now to iraq where syria and iran are aggressively entering the bloody conflict. the two countries now supporting iraqi troops against insurgents who have taken over major cities

throughout the country. this as the iraqi prime minister dismissed the idea of an emergency government to deal with the crisis and secretary of state john kerry maintaining that it's up to iraq to decide its future. last night job david petraeus, who had been the top u.s. commander in iraq, spoke with house gop lawmakers about the conflict and the growing threat from isis militants. a texas congressman was at that briefing. he says he believes the u.s. is at risk. >> there's no question there's a real threat to the u.s. homestand because a number of people with european and american passports have gone to syria to fight there, and it will be relatively easy for them to come to europe and to the united states and that's different from the way it used to be. it's different from the way it was in afghanistan. >> all right. let's discuss this, all of the latest developments with lieutenant colonel rick francona, cnn military analyst and former military liaison officer to the u.s. embassy in

baghdad. colonel, we've got some animations to kind of help us through these big talking points we want to look at. a lot what have we need to focus on right now is syria and iran and their influence in what's going on in this situation in iraq. first, you have u.s. officials saying syria's conducting air strikes on some of the key targets right on the border towns, right there, as you can see, and then also you have iran conducting surveillance drone flights from an airfield in baghdad. what do you make of these moves? >> well, this is very dangerous because now you've got syrian aircraft, armed syrian fighters over iraq. you've got unarmed iranian reconnaissance aircraft over iraq. this is the same airspace in which at least 30 u.s. military aircraft are operating every day. >> a huge factor because we assume they are not coordinating. >> i would assume they are not but we have control of the airspace but flying a drone around there, they are not going to ask us. the syrians obviously are going to conduct air strikes along

that border. that boarder is very important to them because isis has been able to close it. that's a key artery between the two countries so they want to keep that open, and they are using air strikes to do it. unfortunately, the syrians don't care about collateral damage so they are indiscriminately bombing these targets. they don't own precision weors. they just drop bombs. >> so you have these two moves going on within the country, from outside forces. you also have secretary kerry saying that from the u.s. standpoint any air strikes coming from the u.s. would be an act of complete irresponsibility at this point. do you think the actions of iran and syria though change that calculation? >> yeah, i understand what the secretary is saying, but he's assuming we have time, and we don't. this stuff is moving very quickly, and if he's going to wait for the iraqis to set up some sort of coalition government or a reconciliation government, which maliki said he's not going to do, we're going to be waiting as isis continues to roll out territory and the iranians will probably deploy troops. they have moved ten divisions to their border. >> i'm a little confused by what

maliki said on that, salvation, even john kerry seemed a little confused by what -- the point maliki was trying to make there. maliki has an election on his side and if you follow the constitution he'll set up the government the way he wants because he was the winning party. mr. kerry wants him to make sure that he's got equal representation of sunni, kurd and shiia and maliki says i don't need to do that because that contravenes the constitution. >> with all of that in mind and the moves coming no play you've got this big question and i want to get your take. the enemy of our enemy is our friend. do you think that becomes a situation here with regard to syria and iran? >> normally that's in play in the middle east, and i think that's what you're seeing on the ground amongst them, but i don't think we're going to play that game. i just don't see american air power being used in conjunction with iranian forces on the ground, syrian air power over in the west. i just don't see that happening. >> can you thread the needle on that. can you say, as the state department and administration has been saying, there will be no military cooperation, there

will be no intelligence coordination. is there something in between there? >> probably. there will be what i would call a dictate. we'll just say. we'll be conducting air operations over iraqi airspace, stay out of it, because an american pilot and syrian pilot, it's just a bad mix. >> horrible mix. let's talk real quick, want to get your take on the next targets that we are hearing that isis will be going after. you have an air base, one of the largest air bases in iraq that isis is targeting right near baghdad, as you can see it right there, and you also have this dam, one of the major dams on the euphrates river that isis is targeting. why are these so key? >> well, the air field houses a lot of equipment, and it would be a psychological blow to the iraqis. i don't think we need to worry about isis right now putting up an air force, but there's a lot of military hardware on that base. it's -- it was the biggest air base in the middle east, all kinds of american equipment there. we were training the iraqis there. this was the base in which the

iraqis were going to house their new f-16s which haven't been delivered yet. tons of equipment there. hadithah dam provides tons of electricity and these people are smart. >> will they get there though? >> you would think not because of the numbers but look what they are doing. if they can shut down the dam, that pretty much puts baghdad in the dark, they are going after the right targets, can they do it in the iraqis have ceded control of western iraq to isis. they have pulled back and will defend baghdad and it looks like isis will give them the opportunity to do that. >> every week everyone seems surprised on the gains that isis has made day by day by day so you can't not be concerned about it. >> it's the snowball. they gain support as they go along. >> colonel, great to see you. thanks so much for laying it out. chris? >> let's take a break on "new day."

when we come back, a georgia dad says he forgot his toddler was in a sweltering car and that the child then died by accident. this has happened before, more than once, but there are new facts that have police skeptical, but the latest move by the police is equally baffling. we have the information for you and what it could mean ahead. also, on "inside politics" the irs scandal is something to watch because it's getting worse. did the former irs official whose e-mails mysteriously disappeared try to audit a republican senator, what would that mean? details ahead. ct is, it comes standard with an engine that's been called the benchmark of its class. really, guys, i thought... it also has more rear legroom than other midsize sedans. and the volkswagen passat has a lower starting price than... much better. vo: hurry in and lease the 2014 passat s for $199 a month. visit vwdealer.com today.

we do have some very surprising developments this morning in the death of a georgia toddler. the 22-month-old's father says he accidentally left the child in his suv for hours when he went to work. the heat was, of course, deadly. police say there's evidence that may not be the case. here's y.according to them, harris may have returned to his car at lunchtime, opened the driver's side door and placed something inside and then returned to work. this comes as atlanta station waga says the father's work computer was used to search for how long would it take an animal to die in a hot car. we have not confirmed that yet at cnn.

mel robbins, cnn commentator and legal analyst, let's bring her in, sonny hostin, cnn analyst and former federal prosecutor, let's bring her in. let's deal with some very difficult assumptions. i'm slow on this story because we're dealing with the parent and there's no one you want to accuse, at least no one who has lost more in this situation than the parents, but, sonny, what's on the table right now in the new facts, could he have returned to the car and not notice the child, is that reasonable? if you search for something like that on your computer and he did it, he wasn't set up, is that reasonable? what do you make of these facts? >> the computer search certainly bothers me. i think it harkens back to casey anthony and that evidence that everybody talked about searching the computer for ways to kill a child, but i will tell you, and i wrote an opinion piece on cnn.com, and i've received a lot of flack pore it, but i left my 14-month-old daughter in the car on a hot july day, you know, and i remember it like it was

yesterday and i'm ashamed to even talk about it. i'm still embarrassed by it. i'm still horrified by it but she was in the car with me and i walked into a home depot store and completely forgot about, completely forgot about it. >> you were with your husband, never made it into the store. >> i made it into the store. >> but then you turned around. >> and then i turned around, the fact that he went into the car and left for me doesn't strike me as the smoking gun. >> does not strike you as the smoking gun. >> let's go to mel. >> mel, what do you make of the new facts and then give me your take on this as well because i know you feel strongly about it. if you are right to feel strongly, why did the police then reduce the charge to second degree which means negligence, not intentional actions so take us through the both parts. >> you got it. first let's address your first question, chris, which was about the two pieces of information. first of all, if it's true that

he in fact conducted a search on his work computer that day, i think it is a bombshell, and it in my mind means case closed. there is intent. he knew what he was doing. that is devastating evidence for the defense. the second piece that you talked about, the car. let me just pull in common sense here. for anybody that has been around a 22-month-old, if they which are a diaper for more than four hours, it typically smells pretty bad. if they are wearing a diaper that's soiled for four hours in a car that's over 100 degrees, when you open that car door up at noon and casually put something in the driver's side door, you don't have to look for the kid to smell that there is something hugely awry in your car so i'm starting to, as we add this stuff up, not buy this at all, chris, if in fact this is all substantiated. >> why did they reduce the charge? >> i think they reduced the charge because in case after case, where you see casey anthony and they go after intent

and they couldn't prove, it i think they are just being responsible and cautious. >> you didn't have to reduce the charge could, have added a charge. >> that's true. >> i think i'm troubled -- >> we don't have a toxicology report though yet. >> and i'm troubled by the fact that they reduced the charge, but i agree with mel that sometimes prosecutors don't want to charge an intent crime because it is very difficult to prove what was going on in someone's head, and -- and i -- >> you have this cop coming forward and saying i know things about this case that is so troubling to me as a parent and grandparent. >> that's right, and i will tell you -- >> not like they are being cautious in their statement. >> i have reserved judgment because we don't know, when there's an ongoing investigation, i've been a prosecutor, i know we don't know all the facts yet, but we really have to reserve judgment again because if you lock at the statistics, what, already this year, 14 kids have died in this kind of situation. over the past 10, 15 years, over 600 kids, some statistics say, have died in this way. this is something that happens all the time.

when this happened to me and thank god nothing happened to my doubter. >> almost never seen it proved as an intentional crime. when this happened to me, i will tell you, the bigger question is what do you do? i for years, chris, drove my car without my shoes. when i had my kids in the car seat i would take my shoes off, put them near the children and drive places, people would say why you driving without your shoes because you may walk out without your phone or bag or kid but you won't walk out barefoot so that was my way of making sure that this didn't happen and i think we have so many public service announcements, see something, say something. why don't we have some sort of public service announcement about what to do for parents that may forget their children. why aren't there more alarm systems. i think that's sort of the broader conversation that we need to have. >> absolutely, but in the specific, we have the what happened in this situation, mel. one last factor to weigh in on. now you know, again, i've been slow on this, i don't know that the smell test, no pun intended,

i don't know if that passes for me on this. >> it doesn't pass for me. >> i don't know. i don't like them reducing the charge could, have added a charge. >> listen, seven hours later? >> talk to me about the mother. >> i get the hours later. there's too many variables involved, too many variables to lean on. >> it's too soon. >> here's the other thing, guys, seven hours later, the kid has been cooking in this car, over 120 degrees inside and you're telling me the dad is driving for two miles before he realizes, not buying it, but in terms of the mom, look, she's got no obligation to come forward, but i personally think, and you and i spoke about this yesterday, something feels off. you don't release a statement as a family, anything that just says, hey, listen, major tragedy. we're reeling, please give us our privacy and respect the patience, you know, of the investigation. thank you for your prayers. absolutely nothing. the police interviewed her the night the son died. i realize she's in shock, that cute gorgeous kid with those big

cheeks, they just put him to rest today. they are having a funeral. i mean, so i understand that there's a lot going on, but it seems strange that we have not heard anything, not even -- >> i don't think it seems strange at all. i mean, come on, you've got a grieving family. they are not trying to try this case in the media. i think it's ridiculous to say we haven't heard from the mom so something is up. >> ordinarily we would. i don't disagree with you but mel is making a point usually we hear about it. need to leave this conversation for now. >> we do, there's so much more to talk about. >> but we have to proceed with due caution here because we're dealing with the patients and a lot of this, kate, first of all, thank you mel and sonny, as always. a lot has come down to how the father is reacting in the moments after where the police say one thing and witnesses say another. one thick we know for sure and you know already with a baby in your belly, when it comes to your kids, you don't know how you're going to react when something bad happens to them. nothing more frightening. reserve judgment. as we learn, we will report.

almost half past the hour. welcome back to "new day." a look at your headlines. we are counting down to today's big world cup soccer match between team usa and germany.

noon eastern with either a win or a draw. the u.s. will move on to the knockout round as one of the 16 teams still alive in the tournament. now, if they lose though, don't fear. they still could make it through. calls for iraq's prime minister to step down growing louder. nuri al maliki rejecting the idea of an interim government to respond to sectarian tension saying it's a coup against the constitution this, as we lynn iran is flying surveillance drones over iraq and providing weapons to the iraqi military and secretary of state john kerry is issuing a warning after syrian warplanes bombed sunni militants in iraq wednesday. kerry says other nations should stay out of the conflict. a pair of two -- let's just say two major studies suggest a possible link between the most frequent form of stroke and a common heart condition. more than half a million americans have an eskeepic

stroke each year. a quarter have no apparent cause, but according to researchers many could stem from atrial fibrillation, an unnoticed irregularity of the heartbeat. they are pushing for longer heart monitoring find out what is. >> better to know. >> thanks very much. a lot going on politically so we will take you "inside politics" on "new day" with mr. john king. is it true, you asked not to be on this morning so you could prepare for the world cup? >> i was going to stretch my knees like those guys, we have to do that while on the set and move the knees um and get loose. >> exactly. >> we can do "inside politics" and prepare for the world cup. >> multi-tasker. >> you are both right that it's so busy. usually a sleepy washington summer and let's get right to it "inside politics" julie pace of the associated press and the mississippi votes were counted. thad cochran was the winner in the runoff against his tea party challenger chris mcdaniel who says no, i'm not ready to

concede. he wants his legal team to take a look, thinks there's irregularities. he believes african-american voters illegally voted in the runoff. listen to him last night, not only saying i'm not ready to concede but taking a shot at the republican establishment. >> we have people there that are willing to sacrifice every principle in the world for a movement of power or the almighty dollar. it has to stop. >> there are others, including rand paul, who say it's good if more people vote, good for republican race to draw african-american voters, but chris mcdaniel is not ready to give up. >> no, he's not and it remains to be seen whether he does mount this legal challenge. still a lot of skepticism whether he could pull this off successfully, and if he doesn't do that, what does he do, do a write-in campaign which could upset the balance here but it really speaks to the larger debate within the party about how do you broaden your brand and reach out to new voters? roger wicker, the mississippi senator told me very clearly we

should be reaching out to democrats, that's what we should do as the republican party, broaden our brand, nothing wrong with what thad cochran did. >> the state with the highest percentage of african-american voters in the country and you would think here's an opportunity for republicans to learn the lesson. thad cochran had to go to these voters in a movement need and maybe he needs to build a relationship and then rush limbaugh weighs in. this won't help. >> i wonder what the campaign slogan was in mississippi the past couple of days. uncle toms for thad. >> anything i say will make it worse, but -- >> you're going to throw it to me now. >> if you find irregularities, fine, investigate them. you have that right after an election to look at things, but to say things like that and disparage people and forgive me, if that's not a racist statement it's dancing right up to the line of it, how does that help anybody? >> it doesn't and a lot of national republicans just cringe

when they see statements like that, when they see things like what mcdaniel is saying. this is a party after the 2012 election that said we have to broaden the pace and now you have a ration where they have managed to broaden the base for whatever reason they managed to do that and they have this push and pull and maybe we don't want to broaden the pace, sends a real mixed message. >> if you look at the national demographics, maybe they can win in house races and senate races. lois lerner, talked about her a lot, maybe if you find her e-mails please give us a call. she's at the center of this investigation in congress. did the irs unfairly target conservative and tea party groups when they wanted the tax-exempt status with the irs essentially going after conservative organizations? we've been talking about her e-mails from the key period have simply disappeared and the administration says the computer crashed. now this one is curious. e-mails that were provided to congress show that lois lerner received an invitation for

senator chuck grassly to a political event and the organization apparently said senator bring your wife and we'll pay for that. lois lerner decided to send an e-mail to a colleague saying looked like they were inappropriately offering to pay for his wife. perhaps we should refer to exam meaning perhaps we should audit, investigate a sitting republican united states senator. one of her colleagues said can't do this, the rules don't allow, that we need some evidence or some suspicion of illegal activity first, but this does not help her case which is already pretty bad to begin with. >> fuels the suspicion that there's a political witch-hunt motivated by politics going after conservative groups, conservative senator right now, a very high ranking member of the finance committee which oversees the irs, but we should note in that -- the irs never actually went through with the audit. there was a question about whether or not they could do that, but it does -- that's exactly what the administration does not want which is more evidence showing that there was

some political mess going around going after the democratic groups. >> makes it hard for the white house saying this is republicans trying to make a big partisan issue out of a mistake. >> and it raises the question of if this is something in the e-mails that we, have what's in the e-mails that have disappeared, that don't exist anymore and it provides some actual tangible fodder for these hearings that are going to be happening on the hill. >> one of the president's priorities this year and for the rest of his term is to get some action out of washington on climate change. knows he'll have to do most of that through executive action but listen to the president's tone here speaking to an environmental group, league of conservation voters here. listen to his tone going after republicans who he says simply flat refuse to acknowledge that man is contributing to climate change. >> hey, i'm not a scientist which really translates into i accept that manmade climate change is real, but if i say so

out loud i'll be run out of town by a bunch of fringe elements that think climate science is a liberal plot so i'm going to just pretend like i don't know. i can't read. i'm not a doctor either, but if a bunch of doctors tell me that tobacco can cause lung cancer, then i'll say okay. >> a tad scornful there of his critics. >> when he takes that mocking tone, as he sometimes does with republicans, it drives the gop absolutely crazy, but on this issue, he feels like not only does he have public opinion on his side but he feels like he has an executive action plan that can make a depth in climate change and sees this as a real part of his legacy so i think you'll hear him saying things like that on climate change for the next two and a half votes. >> doesn't have the votes on his side and it's interesting the fight on climate change that he does choose to wage which is

about the science which is something he can portray the republicans out of step and out of mainstream but he's not talking about cap and trade, regulation, things that republicans portray as job-killing regulations, josh dab killing cap and trade. he wants to fight it on different terms about the science and that they think is a winning argument politically. >> climate change one of the many issues where the president is using executive actions. house speaker john boehner saying yesterday he's had enough and house republicans, he wants to take the president to court and to sue him. listen to the speaker. >> you know, the constitution makes it clear that a president's job is to faithfully execute the laws, and in my view the president has not faithfully executed the laws. >> is this a serious constitutional challenge, the powers between the legislative and the executive, or is this i'm john boehner, i'm head nothing a mid-term election, i'm going sue the president, my base already doesn't like so the conservatives think, oh, okay, he's on our side. >> well, if you look at what boehner said yesterday and some of the documentation that they

tried to back it up with, there's not a lot of specifics in there so it's a little unclear about what specifically they say the president is in violation of. there is a theory though that you do have some republicans in the house who are actually calling for impeachment of the president and this could be a way for john boehner to say i'm trying to take some action against the president. >> when i go to the conservative rallies around the country, this is one of the things that really riles up conservative voters. they believe this president has been lawless, has not followed the law and what are you going to do about it? what are you going to do about it, john boehner? and now they can say we're going to sue the president and this is clearly an effort to placate that base. >> when kate oversteps her power do you do it by executive order? >> in this case it would be limitless. >> you're so silly. >> thank you for trying to throw me under the bus.

>> there's a new term to introduce into this discussion by the lawsuit, by the way, frivolous lawsuit. can you sue but if the basis for the lawsuit has no real standing in law, it's frivolous, and i wonder if that might be something. funny to see the lawmakerses sanctioned for bringing a lawsuit in the first place. >> right, exactly. coming up next on "new day," a u.s. marine jailed in mexico for months is pleading for his release and has been as a veterans organization calls for a boycott over his arrest. a mexican official is joining us to talk about the case.

welcome back to "new day." a marine who says he made a wrong turn into mexico with guns in his truck is still fighting for his freedom. sergeant andrew tahmooressi, he has a new attorney, and they are asking for patience saying the case is a long way from being resolved. tahmooressi has been jailed in mexico on weapons charges since march and now the mexican government is pushing hard against the idea that tahmooressi ended up across the border by accident. we'll talk about a mexican diplomat about the case in a moment, the first time we've had an opportunity to do that, but first john berman is going to catch you up on the details of the story. >> reporter: according to mexican officials sergeant andrew tahmooressi broke the law on the night of march 31st at this border crossing. he entered mexico with a pistol, rifle and shotgun. personal firearms legal in the united states but in mexico

illegal. marine reservist was questioned and detained. >> be a drew! >> reporter: mexican officials say tahmooressi was trafficking weapons and according to them never once did he say he was a u.s. marine or that he might be lost, and they claim since the marine has been locked up, he's tried to escape twice. but the sergeant who says he had been tortured by guards since his arrest tells "new day" it is all lies, claiming it was an accident and that he even called 911 during the arrest. >> i crossed the border by accident and i have three guns in my truck and they're trying to bosses, they're trying to take my guns from me. >> reporter: tahmooressi says the only reason he wound up in mexico is because of a couple of wrong left turns. he said he immediately notified authorities that he was carrying weapons. >> they are going to say a whole bunch of lies, and they are already saying a whole bunch of lies, and i just know that the truth will -- will set me free. >> reporter: on "new day"

andrew's mother pleaded for help from the u.s. as two u.s. lawmakers visited the sergeant over the weekend lobbying for his release. >> please, president obama, if you could reach out to your counterpart president nieto and help him to understand that he is a decorated marine. >> reporter: john berman, cnn, new york. >> joining us now ariel morales, the minister for president of public affairs for mexico in the u.s. thank you very much for joining us this morning, mr. morales. the first question is what do you know about the sergeant's health at this time? >> thank you very much, chris, for having me here. well, first of all, i heard in the piece that you just aired that they said the president -- that mr. tahmooressi was in prison for being charged of trafficking weapons, that's incorrect. mr. tahmooressi is in prison for carrying weapons that are

exclusive use of the armed forces in mexico and for possessing ammunition and a shotgun without a license, so it's not the same, so to clear the record that's what i wanted to add. >> important to know. he's not being held there for any suspicion of trafficking. that has been speculated by mexican media. you're saying that's not true. thank you for clarifying. what do you know about the sergeant's health? >> he seems in very good spirits, like the congressman already stated over the weekend, and he's there in a prison under permanent medical observation. he suffers from ptsd so he has declined to take medication like he stated in your program a few days or weeks ago. mr. tahmooressi crossed into mexico on the night of march the 31st for the fifth time in recent days, as he also said here in your program.

from the very first moments of his detention because he was carrying three weapons, two of which are of exclusive use of armed forces which is a serious felony in mexico. they were within in his reach and were loaded so he was arrested and taken under custody by the mexican attorney general's office. from that moment he has received permanent assistance from the consulate of the united states in tijuana, and he was transferred from one jail to another because he tried to escape twice and he tried to harm himself once, so the america can authorities in the jail tried to just do measures necessary for him not to harm himself again, not to try to escape again. >> you have said yourself that you believe he has ptsd, that he's under medical observation. do you do you know that -- if it's true that he told your officers at the time when he was stopped that he had the guns,

when you combine his medical situation with his admitting that he had the guns when he was stopped, how do you justify holding him this long for something that appears to be an accident? >> i don't have -- first of all, i don't have the details of that, and can i not comment on those details because there is an ongoing legal process. that will be decided by the judge, not by nun else but by the federal judge in a federal court. he is the one right now who is seeing the case of mr. tahmooressi. >> are you aware of any proof that it was not an accident? >> i am not aware of any proof regarding this being an accident or not being an accident, and can i not certainly talk about that. i can just tell you that the signs are very clear to return to the u.s., and if you didn't see those signs then if someone doesn't see those signs, then there are also signs saying that there are no weapons allowed into mexico and if you don't see

those signs then there are also signs that you need to see and to make a decision before crossing, choosing the line of nothing to declare or something to declare and mr. tahmooressi decided to cross into mexico through the lane of nothing to declare so he certainly made some decisions on the way to crossing into mexico, and even the fact that this is the fifth time that he crossed into mexico for private reasons because he was not on active duarte, not on official duty, not in an official vehicle, he crossed for private reasons as he already has acknowledged in your program and in ours. >> that doesn't mean that he's lying about this being an accident and of the pictures of signs that you sent us, one of these signs is new, right? one of these signs, at least one of them, wasn't up at the time of mr. tahmooressi's arrest. is that true? >> i don't have any information on that. >> well, you sent me those

signs. >> yes, of course i sent you the signs. >> and our information is that one of them new and not up at the time? >> those signs are not there put by the mexican government, put by the united states government or the local authorities. >> but what does that mean to you -- what does that mean >> to you? >> maybe they're trying to improve the visibility of the signs but that does not mean the rest of the signs were not clear and the rest of the signs were not there and the rest of the signs are not stating clearly that no weapons are allowed into mexico. >> understood. >> it does not mean you cannot make a decision of declaring something before crossing the border. >> understood but there are more facts here and assuming he did tell officers right away, there was obviously no violence, thank god, that happened with these weapons, you've had them for three months. isn't there some discretion about what you decide to prosecute or not in a situation like this? it's not like you're not familiar with crime. >> what you're saying is

probably the most important thing of this case regarding the process. there is a big difference between the mexican law and the u.s. law. here in the u.s., you have prosecutorial discretion, a prosecutor can decide whether to prosecute something or not. in mexico that doesn't exist. if there is evidence of a possible crime committed like in this case, the prosecutor has to prosecute. he doesn't make any decisions regarding that, but to prosecute, to investigate, and then to present this to the judge. the case is certainly in that stage and mr. tahmooressi is awaiting his next hearing which will take place on the 9th of july. >> you're saying every time there is an arrest there was a trial in mexico? that was not my understanding. >> yes, every time there is suspicion of a crime, there is an arrest, there is an investigation, that the prosecutor initiates and if he gathers sufficient evidence to think there is a crime here, then he has to prosecute.

in this case, the evidence of someone, regardless of if he was american or he's a mexican, someone carrying weapons that are loaded and that are of exclusive use of the armed forces is more than enough to prosecute. >> all right, i understand the legal principle and i want to keep this dialogue going, mr. morales because it's of significant concern here. i do have one request. you're aware of the procedure but said you are not aware of the proof for or against the guilt in this case. don't you think it's important that you get informed on that level because of the significance of this case, that you should know what the case is against this man, because there are a lot of questions about it? >> the case is clear. he was carrying weapons that are exclusive of the armed forces. >> he said it was an accident. you say you don't know what the proof was that they don't believe was an accident. >> the judge will decide if it was an accident or not and if he

is released because he's considered or sentenced not guilty or sentenced guilty and he has to serve some time in jail, that's only up to the judge. i also heard in the piece that was presented before me talking here that the president nieto, he suggested president knnieto could order his release or anything and he can't at this moment. he's in the hands of a mexican judge in a mexican federal court and not in the hands of the government. that is very important for the american people to know. >> that is. thank you very much for clarifying the process and what's going on. >> thank you very much chris. >> thank you for sending us the letter that showed your attention to this, and the information that came along with it. please, make yourself available to us as we go forward so we can stay on this story and be fair. >> i am, and thank you very much for this opportunity, chris. >> appreciate it. kate? coming up next on "new day," an incredible moment on live

u.s., we believe that we will win. we are four hours and counting until the world cup match between team usa and germany. today will either be a big step forward for u.s. soccer or a tremendous disappointment. will the u.s. advance? that's the question. they've done it before several times but there's never been so much attention. take a look. it's a fight to the death. or really to escape the group of death. team usa and germany facing off in hopes of advancing to the next 16-teen knockout stage. both teams needing only a draw to grab a coveted sweet 16 spot. the highly anticipated showdown between red, white and blue and the powerhouse german team ranks second best in the world. the match is almost sure to exceed the record 25 million viewers who tuned in to the u.s. versus portugal game on sunday.

thousands gathering across the country to watch the heated match. >> usa! usa! >> reporter: add to that excitement the clash of cultures. team usa's roster stacked with five german-americans including star players fabian johnson and jermaine jones, now going head to head against the very same players they grew up. johnson isn't sweating it. >> i played them already in the leagues. i think it's nothing special anymore. >> reporter: and the intensity of the rivalry doesn't end there. team usa's each jurgen klinsmann faces off against his former assistant and close friend joaquin louvre who leads the german team. the two quickly dismissing any rumors of conspiring to tie. >> obviously everybody is doing the best he can do. >> so that is the situation with the game. let's get some good analysis here, bring in cnn's lara

baldasarri from brazil. kate bolduan will get to that now. >> we bring in lara and kobie jones to look at it all. what does it mean? what is going to happen? they call it the biggest game of their lives. we start in brazil on the ground. question hear the rain behind you, lara. what is the expectation of what the weather is going to be like and how might it impact the field? >> reporter: kate, it is getting a lot worse here. the rain now is now blowing in across things. there's no end in sight with this rain. you can't even see the stadium which is behind me in this shot. this pitch could be a concern, if it does not hold up well it could benefit the americans though because it would mean for the germans they wouldn't want to take those risks because players don't want to lose their foot so long they don't want to risk injuries, of course the goal of the world cup is to win the world cup. it's not to win a match in order to win the world cup you need to progress from the group stage so both of these teams, like chris

said, they just need a draw. now i will point out, though, in the past nine encounters between the usa and germany, there has not been a match that's finished in a draw. germany leads the head-to-head record 6-3 but no draws on record so far. i really want this rain to stop because this is not that comfortable for me. >> probably not comfortable for the team. has the team been asked about the weather? have they said anything about the conditions? >> reporter: no, nothing at all yesterday at the press conference. kyle beckerman and jurgen klinsmann were speaking but it was sunny at the time. there was rain throughout the day but during that time it was sunny. they were out during their open training, it was sunny. this was not really in the forecast. i didn't even bring a raincoat so i don't think any of the players knew what they were waking up to this morning with the howling winds and rain that keeps on coming down. >> let's find out from someone

who would know better than most, kobe jones, what is the impact of rain an play? how would it have affected you in one of the world cup games? >> i think the players are going to be looking atity weather, it could get heavier, players are more prone to slip and offensively that's an advantage. defensively they have to be clear, you could slip, the ball could skip so offensively i think this will allow more opportunities actually going to goal because those offensive players that have talent on boast sides will try to take advantage of that and go direct to goal to get the shots off. >> that really is an interesting take on the weather, cobi. greg wallace was telling us a little earlier in the show, when it comes down to it, going into this game, the americans are outskilled by the germans. do you believe that, and if so, how so? >> well, i think it's a little

bit of that natural bias that we have towards players out of europe and i will give a lot of credit to the german team. there's a lot of big names that have a lot of talent that play at some big clubs. when i look at this u.s. team i look at thetallette that's there and look at what they've done over the past few games, even before the world cup started with the send-off matches, they've gotten better and better with each game and if they play like they did those 80-plus minutes in the portugal game, i think they can go out and challenge any team in the world. >> cobi, do you give any credence as a former player who has played in the big matches to the theory that these teams are going to collude, that they want to accept a draw, a tie, so they can both move on? >> i don't give any credence to that. when it comes out to it, it's all about professional athletes when they get on the field it's about the competitive nature that drive from within, and one thing that i always say when i'm asked this, if clint dempsey is up front and inside the 18 with a one on one with the goalie, is he just going to stop and pull

up and go no, i'm not going to take the shot? of course he isn't. he's not going to play it safe. it's about the u.s. trying to get points no matter what. play to win and get some points out of this match. >> prediction time. my favorite time because i'm not the one being put on the spot. cobi first to you, what is your prediction? who are the players to watch and how do you think the game will turn out? >> my prediction in this game and i know i'm going to take a lot of heat but i think the usa is going to win this match. i think they have a good shot and opportunity because this really is a one-off game. players that we have to watch, clint dempsey, once again, he's on fire right now, he's getting better and better and once he heats up, the passion that he shows, the team gets better. another player is michael bradley, not the best tournament so far, but if he starts playing well, i think this team can go up another notch and another level. >> all right, cobi, we'll hold you to it. just kidding. lara, you're on the ground. what is you hearing and what are you feeling? >> reporter: i am going with a

2-2 draw. i think it's going to end up that way. i think the two players you really need to keep your eye on are kyle beckerman, he proved to be the utility man and if this is a game that might get a little bit more slippery and physical, he's the guy that you want to keep your eye on because he's been defensively a wonder as he plays midfield. the other guy i want you to keep your eye on is tim howard in goal for the usa. i think he'll come under a lot of fire today but he's a wall. he's a brick wall, so those two guys, 2-2 draw, that's what i'm putting up there, kate. >> the other key player in this game will be the weather so everyone's going to not just keep an eye on the players but eye in the sky as we will as well, all happening in a few hours. lara, cobi, great to see you. >> thank you. >> of course, chris? >> you're totally right, as if there weren't enough reason to watch we have the weather a factor that makes it more exciting. we'll take a quick break. when we come back, a boy missing for days is located.

breaking overnight, more than 100 days since flight 370 vanished, officials are refining the search, shifting it south and australia's deputy prime minister announces this morning saying it's highly likely the flight was on autopilot until it ran out of fuel. now what would that mean? we have sima motion following

the latest developments from bangkok. sima, what do we think? >> reporter: you know, chris, this was additional detail that we simply weren't expecting to hear. we thought they were going to talk about the search, well they were. they're trying to make complex calculations as to the flight path of mh370 and where to seven they decided to look at the cruising altitude, how fast the plane was going and whether there was any major movement in the plane. they said there wasn't any major maneuvering. there was a loss of communications between the pilot, co-pilot, and any kind of control trial or nearby air traffic control. it was going very smoothly at a certain altitude. now, looking at that and comparing it with three prior air accidents, they came to the conclusion that the plane must have been, a, on autopilot for the last few hours of its flight path, and b, that the people in the cockpit may well have been out cold, unable to communicate

with anyone, so that's one factor that came out today. now of course, the major announcement they were trying to make is that they have refined the seven zone, staying in the southern arc but further down, 800 to 1200 kilometers way. let's remind everyone, we're talking about 60,000 square kilometers to search, 3,000 to 4,000 meters deep. it will take some time. they say maybe we'll find it on the first day but it could take up to 12 months. >> of course that means it's an area that hasn't been previously mapped. very difficult and rough terrain underneath the ocean. let's give a look at more headlines. breaking overnight, dozens of people, many teenagers taken to the hospital from an avicii concert in boston. local media put the number of patients up and around 80. authorities told cnn affiliate whdh most of the patients were being treated for a combination of dehydration and being under the influence of drugs and alcohol. no word yet on the conditions of those who were hospitalized.

here is a moment that i've certainly never seen and you've probably never seen before either, played out live on our nancy grace's show last night. in nancy grace was interviewing a father of a 12-year-old son who had been missing for two weeks. nancy tells him live on air that his son has actually been found alive in his basement. the exchange that followed can only be described as bizarre. we're going to talk to nancy in a moment, but first watch it for yourself, this is how it unfolded. >> charlie, we are getting reports that your son has been found in your basement. sir? mr. bothuell, are you -- >> what? >> yes, we are getting reports

that your son has been found alive in your basement. >> what? >> yes, if you can hand me that wire very quickly, we're getting that right now from -- how could your son be alive in your basement? >> oh [ bleep ]. i -- i have no idea. i -- >> now this is just a report that we are hearing out of detroit that we're trying to confirm. sir, did you check your basement? >> i checked my basement, the fbi checked my basement, the detroit police checked my basement, my wife checked my basement, i've been down there

several times. we've all been checking. how -- >> okay, this is what we are hearing that the missing 12-year-old boy has been found alive and well in his father's basement. now, this is what i don't understand why you guys would have reported he's missing and all our viewers have been on the lookout for him. >> we've been on the lookout for him. we searched that entire house repeatedly. the fbi searched. detroit police searched. we've all searched. god, they brought dogs, everything, everybody has searched. what -- oh, god, my son. >> all right, we have nancy grace on the phone. nancy, thank you for joining us in sort notice. do me a favor, can you take us a step backwards and explain how this story got to this point, because you've been on it? >> oh, yes, i can. number one, thank you for having me. and number two, all i can say is, it is a miracle, regardless

of how this thing plays out, chris. i have covered so many missing children and usually they don't have a happy outcome, so the first thing is this is a miracle. that's the headline, but i'll take it back a notch. i got wind that this father, charles bothuell iv, was running from door to door, running and begging people, banging on doors and begging people to help him find his 12-year-old son, and when i heard that, it broke my heart. it seemed as if no media, nobody would help him. he was upset with the police. he felt that he was being treated as a suspect, and let me just tell you something, chris. of course he's being treated as a suspect. >> right. >> all family members are treated as a suspect practically

speaking when a child goes missing. >> but what was the suspicion of what had happened, nancy? what did they think had happened up to this point? catch us up to date what were the circumstances and theories? >> so i put him on the show, trying to help find the boy, and there were holes in his story, and i didn't like that, so i took his story with a box of salt but still the boy was missing. it was unresolved so i wanted him back on because regardless of what happened to the boy i wanted to find the boy. in the middle, we were about to go to him, in the segment, and then i find out the boy has been found. we get a report. then it's confirmed. this is why i've learned overnigove, what this is what i've learned overnight the boy was gone off for a day or two and come back home. in this case, the fbi, the police, the parents searched the whole home. i confirmed that.

there is a series of connecting hallways between the town home and they think the boy may have used that. here is the kicker. he was behind a barricade, boxes, and detroit police say this they do not believe a child could have built that barricade. also, he was hungry, very, very hungry. also, he was very happy to see police. all those things put together indicate an adult was involved. i know the father took a polygraph, the result was inconclusive. the stepmother refused a polygraph, which concerns me, but after i saw the father's reaction, hugging everybody, crying tears of joy, apparently, you know what? i believe him. maybe i'm crazy but i believe the father. >> what do you think happened here, and are we safe in assuming that this 12-year-old kid is more than capable of explaining exactly what

happened? >> no, i'm not really sure about that, because very often children won't tell the truth because they're afraid of repercussion in the home. so no, and that is why police kept the child overnight. he has not been reunited with his family yet. they've kept him overnight for questioning and i also observed that they kept him from medical evaluation. does that mean he was injured in some way? that would be bad news for the father. on the other hand, very often even when you don't see obvious injuries, a child will be medically evaluated after an incident like this. to find out exactly what has happened. so i can't decipher anything from that fact yet. >> the local cops told rosa flores that they found bloody clothing and pvc piping, i don't know what that means, but that obviously bloody clothing would be of concern. does that mean anything to you? >> yes, it does. i don't want to jump the gun on it. this is found in the basement

where pvc piping would, naturally you would expect to find it there, bloody clothing has me disturbed. from what police say at the get-go the child did not look harmed yet again he's being medically evaluated. it also concerns me the stepmother could not be found last night, according to reports. she should be right there in the home getting on top of the telephone, waiting for somebody to call her about her child. that concerns me. so it's a riddle. it's a puzzle we haven't worked out yet and i don't want to point the finger at the parents yet. >> right, but the authorities, because you suggested early on the kid had run away before for a day or so, which is longer than most kids would leave but some kids run away and come back home. right now do they believe it's more likely based on what you said about the barricade and the nature of its fabrication that the kid did this himself or that somebody did this to the kid? >> well, right now i think cops

are investigating if someone did it to him, and let me point out that from what i can interpret from this, the last time he disappeared, he was going to his mom's. he wanted to see his mother is what we are learning. it's not like he ran away as a delinquent. he went to try to go to his mother is what we are being told. so it's not like he's a bad kid and he runs away all the time and he's unruly. it's not like that at all. all our reports are, this is a very well-behaved, good boy. at the time he disappeared, we had reports that went from between a day to a few hours is the last time he disappeared, it was in his neighborhood and he was trying to get to his mom is what we were told. so i didn't put a lot of stock in him having "run away" before. i don't know that i'd really believe that. i think he was trying to get to his mom. >> i'll tell you what is so fascinating about this, you make the right point, unqualified,

this is great news that the kid has been found because after 24 hours as we know, the percentages drop frighteningly in terms of whether you're recovered at all let alone alive. so that's great. but when the parents are involved, we're always so skeptical, we don't want to judge but they're usually the most direct connection to the di disappearance and for the first time you have the parent finding out allegedly for the first time and you get to see that and judge that, what did that mean for you? >> well, what meant a lot to me is that the boy was alive, because so often children are dead, and we have a horrible outcome to report. it's very, very upsetting for me to report that. in this case, i was overwhelmed that the boy was alive. i can tell you this, chris. regardless of what we find out, i don't understand why a boy, a young boy would hide from his parents for two weeks in the

basement starving, he was hungry, why would he do that? it doesn't make sense to me, and normally when something doesn't make sense, it's because it's not true. that's what i know from having done this since 1987. that's what i can tell you. >> i got you. you're very savvy when it comes to this and also no dupe. you usually take the side of culpability in these situations, so for you to say you are somewhat pre-disposed to believe the father is unusual in and of itself but we do know this, nancy f people search the basement and the kid wasn't there, something happened to make him be there later on. the question is what is it? hopefully he'll be able to communicate that. nancy grace thank you for creating the moment and explaining it to us and let us know what happens next. >> will do, chris. >> we'll report it on our side, try to help you as well. thank you very much. mick, over to you. >> chris, thank you so much for that. time for the five things you need to know for your new day. team usa taking on germany at the world cup today, a win or

>> we have news here. this game is huge because it's either the u.s. or ghana that will advance. ghana is playing portugal. the outcome of the game is huge. it's happening at the same time as the u.s. game because they don't want collusion. we have news about ghana? >> two of the starters were dismissed from the team. this is about 15 minutes ago they were dismissed, apparently had a fight in training and the coach dismissed them. >> what? >> as much as we're paying attention to the u.s. and what they need to do to beat germany, part of what we're doing here and what we're going to be watching in ghana has changed now. things have changed. >> but okay, wait, wait, the coach dismissed his own players. he knows that's going to put his own team at a disadvantage. >> there's another layer of intrigue here. supposedly there's a contract issue going on as well and there are reports there is a plane coming to brazil right now from ghana with money on it.

to appease the players. >> with $3 million is the report that's out there, that they're bringing money for the ghanaian team to win, it's a bonus so maybe they were fighting over money, i don't know. >> this got crazy. >> what we're hearing, ghana against portugal, fundamentally important to what happens with the u.s., ghana versus the u.s. only one will advance. two players from the ghana team have been dismissed, maybe there's a contract dispute, maybe there's a plane coming with money on it, as if there wasn't enough reason to pay attention. >> that's a good point, these are extra dramatics. is this only world cup or is this the world of socker? >> generally this is taken care of prior to the world cup. we're only worried about playing games, not worried about money being flown on a plane and guys fighting and a guy biting another guy and all this stuff. >> cannibal. >> yes, so this is kind of strange but it's happened the last couple minutes. >> what do you think, looking at

noon today, what are you thinking? get in their heads. where are they? what do they need to be doing? >> the worst thing for an athlete is to have your destiny in someone else's hands, but the u.s. has their destiny in their own hands so they can take care of business on their own. they don't have to worry about xwa in a. they don't have to worry about portugal if they get a tie or a draw. they only have to worry about the game if things don't go well against germany. in order to beat germany i think they need to continue on the path that they've been on. i thought against portugal they were very good. i thought they were very organized. certainly we can take away the last 30 seconds. that was gut-wrenching and heartbreaking. >> as eye goalie what are you thinking when that happened? >> it's clear you don't give up a goal today your team goes through. the picture is very clear. >> what about the rain for the goalkeeper today, ball skipping around. >> apparently it's a monsoon at the game but i this i that helps the game. it slows it down. there's not going to be a ton of goals. you know that going in, so i think it actually helps. what it can do is cause some

mistake along the way, a slip, a bad shot. deflected ball. >> do you wear different gloves? >> no, the gloves are the same. we're lucky, tim howard started in new york with the metro stars and playing in europe and probably one of the top five goalkeepers in the world. >> going into the game look at both teams where their heads are at and the advantage. i know that the u.s. team has fire in their belly. they are going for it. how about the germans. where are their heads at? what advantage do they have mentally over the u.s., not even just on the pitch. >> the advantage they have is they're one point ahead of the u.s. currently. what you'll see today is a game that will be as open as it could possibly be based on the weather. you get to the 75th and the 80th minute and you stop taking risks, because the risk/reward if it's a tied game you're already in at 75 minutes. why send another guy forward? why throw another guy into the attack and leave it open in the back? >> the germans you could argue,

obviously we're so u.s.-centric here, they have more on the line you could argue than the u.s., because the number one team, they're number two in the world. number one spain is out, so they've got their eyes on the prize. this could be the moment to win. >> that's right. >> that's huge pressure as well. >> they are the highest ranked team left in the tournament. this team have been in more semifinals than anybody in the world. they typically knows how to get there. my guess this will end up in a tie somehow. i see jrm kngermany and the u.sg through. you're still playing the number two team in the world, capable and talented and deep team so it's going to be, i'd like to avoid a big mistake like we had the other night. >> do you think coach klinsmann has quieted the critics that were all talking as they entered the world cup? >> looking back on it now, the so un-american view of we can't win the world cup and i was critical on my show of jurgen klinsmann saying that, why?

because i played in a national team. i'm an american, i'm not used to hearing that. although it may have been true at the end of the day, i think what he did was take pressure off the team and i think we're seeing that with this group now. kudos to him for the choices that he made and the way he's handled it. >> now he's out there saying, we're no underdog in this. anybody who says we can't beat germany is wrong. he flipped the script. maybe he's doing what his team need at that time. >> that's what a great coach does. he knows his team. he knows his players, where they're at mentally, physically. if it's verbal stuff you have to do, technical stuff, you do it in order for your team to win. >> flying in millions of bucks on a plane. >> great to meet you, tony, thanks for coming in. >> thank you. go usa. >> nice scarf, nice sash. >> two player s from the ghana team supposedly dismissed by the coach. there may be money being flown there. if ghana doesn't have its best

can learn from, you know? donna? >> well you know, i'm fortunate enough to have worked with so many, and john lewis, congressman john lewis is a true champion for equality. the other day when i was sitting in the rotunda at capitol hill i saw reverend jesse jackson, i saw andrew young. i saw christine farris, dr. king's sister, of course his children. eleanor holmes norton, who has gone down to mississippi today. diana nash, james bevel, c.t. vivian, low cephaloerry. i can name names because i've had an opportunity throughout my life to work with so many and being in mississippi last week with the legacy there, the legacy in alabama, georgia, of course, my beloved home state of louisiana, there's so many who are still here, and i think on behalf of my generation, those who have benefited from their sacrifice in that march, it's important that we say thank you. thank you for your courage. thank you for your leadership.

thank you for your sacrifice. without their blood, their sweat, their tears, taking blow after blow for freedom, we would not be here. >> to go to what mickey said early on to you, donna, and tie it in with something president obama said when he was a community organizer, the idea of the civil rights movement is often seen one, as a black thing, and two, as something that is strictly tied to the courts. what is your take on how civil rights has become more about civil people in general than just people of color and what president obama and a community organizer said, it's too tied to the judicial and needs to be more about the politics and the community building that changes culture more permanently than even a court case. what's your take on that? >> i would be remiss if i didn't mention cheney good win and shwerner. these week 50 years ago, those young men jews and blacks together, it was always black

and white. when dr. king said we as a people, he wasn't just mentioning blacks in the segregated south. he was talking about the american people, our hopes and dreams and he received his inspiration from gandhi. he had learned the ways of nonviolence. you think about the struggle for civil rights, whether it's making sure that our children are able to grow up without crime and violence, making sure we have a first class education, making sure that we can have opportunity, economic opportunity expanded for all people, and of course, we also talk about equality, gay marriage, making sure that no american is discriminated because of who they love. that's what not only dr. king envisioned when he saw the promised land but that's what i believe barack obama. i have to also say to you, chris, you know this as well, we're not post-racial. we haven't gone past that moment. that long march, the documentary which i had an opportunity to see last night, it's a very

moving documentary. at times i had to pause it, thank god i had a little help there, and pause it, because it is going to take you back to days when people were beaten simply because they wanted to sit at the lunch counter and be treated like americans. >> donna, there's an interesting op-ed on cnn.com written by john blake. i'm looking at it right now. i don't know if you had a chance to peruse it, sort of suggesting the idea that a lot of americans don't want to hear about the civil rights movement anymore. they find the subject dull or angry. when we talk about keeping an eye to the past so that we don't repeat it, how do we bridge that? how do we get over the, it didn't affect me t doesn't affect me. how do we make people understand that the struggle of then is still the struggle of now, maybe with a different face? >> you know, my grandmother was born 25 years after slavery and of course, she never said to us as when we were kids that, you know, slavery impacted her or

slavery would impact us, but that legacy, that period of history continued to impact us. we still had to rid our country of racism, of ageism, of sexism, of homophobia, and we got so many things that we can do, but there are wounds that we have healed and there are wounds that are still raw, and just this past week i had an opportunity to talk to senator rand paul of kentucky who is sponsoring legislation to ensure those who served their time, nonviolent criminals, people in jail simply because they, you know, they did something wrong but they should have their voting rights restored. he talked about their dignity. this is rand paul, a republican, and i said to him, i said you know what? i want to talk to the naacp and before i could get on the phone, the naacp said yes, we've talked to him. we can brimming the dpagaps and find the common ground. question march toward freedom together but we cannot ignore the long road we've all been on.

>> you made a point reaching across the aisle, having conversations, even our own families. sometimes we don't like to hear from somebody who disagrees with us. it's important to have a conversation not necessarily an argument to find ways to bridge the gap. donna brazile, always a delight to have you with us. thank you for sharing your thoughts on such an important decade in america's history. we want to point you at home to check out the '60s, a long march to freedom, tonight at 9:00 p.m. set that dvr. if you can't figure it out, get somebody to help you, like they do with me or watch it live on cnn. >> rare combination, good tv that is worth watching. >> absolute. coming up next, a retiring marine asks his friend to watch his runned down house while he was on tour overseas. what happened while he was away? that is the good stuff, coming up. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 trading inspires your life.
