3:00 am
billion to help stem the flow of undocumented immigrants crossing the border. but is he doing enough to address this problem? world cup stunner. history made in brazil. after a thrashing of epic proportions by germany. how on earth did one of the best teams in the world good morning and welcome to "new day," everybody. it's wednesday, july 9th, 6:00 in the east. john berman kind enough to return and be with us once again. chris is off. we'll start with breaking news overnight. the wild weather as severe storms and tornadoes swept across the eastern u.s. at least five people are dead from the storms. in upstate new york, four people were killed and several homes were destroyed, and at a maryland campsite one child was
3:01 am
killed. eight others injured by falling trees. downed pour lines have left hundreds of thousands of people without electricity this morning. indra petersons is here with much more. what happened? it happened so quickly, indra. >> that's the problem. we had fast moving systems. six reports of damage from tornadoes alone. severe weather system made its way from the ohio valley and eventually spread right into the northeast. heavy wind and rain pummeled central new york as severe storms sweep across the northeast spawning at least three tornadoes, destroying homes and killing at least five people, including one child. the powerful storms downed power lines, cracked utility poles and uprooted massive trees leaving over 400,000 people without electricity this morning. >> you can't even see out the windows it was raining so hard. >> reporter: in maryland the storm moved in quickly killing one child at a church camp who was trapped under a tree and injuring eight others as they ran for safety. >> something like this has never happened in our history, and it
3:02 am
was a freak storm that came up, and, unfortunately, this is what's happened. >> reporter: in syracuse, new york, homes almost completely leveled, leaving four dead and authorities still searching door to door for survivors. >> we got our search dogs out right now looking around. we're just picking up houses looking to see if anybody is underneath them. >> reporter: the significant damage prompted a state of emergency in the new york area as crews work to clear roads blocked by debris. >> went from bad thunderstorm to crazy and, i mean, just -- that's about the way way we can describe it. it was just crazy. >> reporter: take a look at line of storms that really pushed through the ohio valley eventually making its way into the northeast. that same frontal system is there still this morning you can see the very end of it kind of sagging into the southeast. that will continue to fire up some storms into the southeast today. meanwhile into the northeast, high pressure is building in, so
3:03 am
we'll get nicer as we get closer to the weekend but another frontal system is out there eventually by friday making its way into the mid well. showers are still on the forecast. looking at the biggest threat farther down in the southeast kind of right around the carolinas where we still have the frontal system this morning. john? >> thanks, indra. now to the border crisis affecting tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants, many children, after some political back and forth. president obama and texas governor rick perry will meet today to discuss this immigration crisis, but the sparring is only beginning in congress after the president's emergency request for almost $4 billion to address this issue. senior white house correspondent jim acosta joins us now with the latest. jim? >> reporter: good morning, john. later on this afternoon, president obama and texas governor rick perry will be getting together for what promises to be a tense meeting over the crisis at the border. the meeting will be taking place in dallas. and back here in dallas there's
3:04 am
another showdown brewing over the president's border plan. with the ink barely dry on the president's nearly $4 billion plan to halt the flood of undocumented immigrants republicans in congress have said no deal. >> they have asked for a blank check and an awful lot of money coming to tens of thousands of dollars for each one of these children. >> reporter: nearly half of the $3.7 proposal is to care for unaccompanied minors from central america. the rest goes to detention and removal costs, more border patrols and surveillance and immigration legal teams to speed up deportation proceedings. administration officials say gop critics want to have it both ways. >> they don't get to acknowledge this is a serious humanitarian problem and then say offhand that they won't provide the support to make sure we can deal with the problem. >> reporter: part of the problem, existing u.s. laws, that require border crossers to be returned quickly if they come from mexico, yet the undocumented from central
3:05 am
america receive special legal protections, a distinction former president bush signed into law to fight human trafficking. >> it is the protection that is required under u.s. law, but it has now escalated to the point of creating a migration emergency. >> making the border crisis tougher solve is the political brawl between the president and texas governor rick perry. after an exchange of insults -- >> i have to believe that when you do not respond in any way that you are either inept or you have some ulterior moed motive. >> the truth is it's hard to take seriously governor per's concerns. >> reporter: two leaders will meet in dallas hundreds of miles from the border, aides say, the president won't be visiting. >> i hope the president reconsiders. he needs to go and see this for himself and not rely on his advisers. >> reporter: as for that meeting between the president and rick perry, officials here at the white house and down in austin have plenty of differences, but,
3:06 am
kate, they do have one thing in common. they are being very tight lipid about how this meeting is going to go on later today in dallas. very few details. >> but a lot of people watching. jim, thanks for sure. jim acosta at the white house. jim asked the question and we all do. what's behind the surge nun documented children coming into the country and what is the fix? what's the way to fix it? here to kind of discuss this further, explore it is anchor and senior correspondent for cnn espanol juan carlos lopez. good to see you. >> good morning. >> it's caught up in politics. you can't deny that. what does the evidence show that you've seen so far? what is behind the surge of children and families coming across the border? >> there are many reasons, kate, and many of them might fit the talking points of different party, but one of the main reasons we've been hearing about is violence in central america. this started 2008-2009.
3:07 am
it didn't start some weeks ago as many might understand from watching news coverage. it's been going on, and the numbers have been growing exponentially every year, so many pointed to lack of economic opportunity, the violence in central america, the drug war in central america and a very difficult economic situation for many. >> that does push back on that one question of how did they not see this coming though, right, because this has been happening for years? >> if you look at the numbers and border patrol numbers on posted on the website. we have two different flows of children. if you look at the children that come from mexico, it's been stable, around 17,000 since 2009. if you look at the number from central america, you combine them, in 2009 it was 3,400 kids. this year we're almost at 40,000. if you look at 2012, it was almost 11,000, so this isn't something that happened overnight. somebody wasn't obviously
3:08 am
looking where they should, but this has been building up, and it's at the point where we are right now. >> a couple of things i want to talk about that people point to part of the problem that the government is facing, part of the reason behind the influx, the 2008 trafficking law put in place to try to help children, to make sure that they weren't sent back to dangerous situations in central america. the government has said that this is hindering their ability to deport them in a speedy manner if they don't meet that threshold. what role do you think that plays in this? >> there's an interesting discussion between those who say this is an immigration crisis where you have undocumented crossing the border, and then you have others who say this is a humanitarian crisis where you have refugees looking for asylum. now, which one is it? is it asylum? are we receiving the children of a conflict in central america and are they looking for a safe haven or is this an immigration influx? that's a debate that hasn't been defined. the government talks about humanitarian crisis.
3:09 am
but still wants the proses to send these kids back in a quick manner. if you look at the information from the united nations high commissioner for refugees they have information that it's not only the u.s. they are coming, to the main country, many have relatives here. i spoke to the first lady of guatemala. most children she spoke with in arizona where she visited told her they were trying to reunite with the families, but the u.n. says asylum requests for panama, mexico, costa rica, countries south of honduras is up by 700%, so people want to leave these countries and obviously things there aren't very good right now. >> the u.s. isn't alone. i want to get your take on this. what about the comments that we have heard from president obama over the past couple of years when he's been talking about the d.r.e.a.m. act, when he's essentially said we're not going after young kids. listen to an example of it. >> classmates of our children who are suddenly under this
3:10 am
shadow of fear through no fault of their own. they didn't break a law. they were kids. send me a law that gives them the chance to earn their citizenship. i will sign it right away. it makes no sense to expel talented young people who for all intents and purposes are americans. >> juan car low, republicans say that the president has essentially brought this on himself because he's sending the wrong message to central america in making those comments. are you seeing that there? >> the numbers simply don't back that up. if you look at the numbers, the deferred action program was announced june 2012, implemented at the end of that year, so if you look at the numbers for 2012, that year you had over 10,000 kids coming in from honduras, guatemala and el salvador which is more than triple what you had in 2009 so that flow had already started. if you look at the number of kids from mexico, it was bloat average, so it's not deferred
3:11 am
action. it's interesting to believe that people in central are so privy to our immigration policy. there are many reasons. maybe some parents do believe that they will benefit from deferred action, but from cnn espanol we'll be reporting on the requirements and they are very strict so there's a combination of issues, but there's no simple answer, and there's no simple explanation. >> absolutely not especially when politics becomes very much involved. juan carlos, great to see you. thank you so much. >> have a great day. >> of course. >> thanks so much, kate. now to the middle east where hundreds of rockets and missiles were fired between israel and hamas overnight. hamas firing more than 130 rockets towards israel in just the last day. some of them being fired at civilians as far away as tel aviv where they were intercepted by israel's missile defense system, the iron doe. israel warning of a possible ground invasion as it launches 160 air strikes against militants. that was overnight. let's get to diana magnay live
3:12 am
in israel near the gaza bothered, and you've seen a lot of activity over your head in the last several hours. >> reporter: hi. well, john, that's true. we've seen intercepts in the sky when rockets have come over from gaza. the iron dome missile defense battery system behind me is one of the mobile units that they use to make these interceptions and there have been interceptions from long range missiles out of gaza late yesterday evening. towards tel aviv and beyond over jerusalem. that is, of course, the big fear when hamas starts aiming towards those cities. israel says that it is going to get very serious and clearly their end game now, the israeli defense forces, not just to stop the flow of rockets but to really make sure that they damage once and for all hamas' capability to wage rocket terrorism. let's take a look at the last few stages of operation protective edge. overnight israel launched at
3:13 am
least 160 strikes on the gaza strip. middle east on the brink. hamas responding with just four rockets overnight. one of hamas' rockets, an m302 just like the missile shipment israel intercepted from iran leading the defense force to believe that hamas is supplying hamas with weaponry. on tuesday the border between israel and the gaza strip illuminated by the flames of war. video released by the israeli military shows hamas militants stealthily emerging from the mediterranean sea, guns in hand, ready to attack. the incomes shot show israeli soldiers crouching in wait firing at their incoming enemies and targeting rocket attacks and reportedly eliminating the hamas militants. >> they came to the wrong beach party. should have stayed on their own side of the fence and paid dearly for this. >> reporter: sirens echoing the battle cries of hamas and
3:14 am
israel. >> get inside. >> reporter: my own crew, myself, running for shelters at the sound of the sirens in western israel on tuesday afternoon. many moments of normalcy cut short. one jewish wedding in israel interrupted by air raid sirens. the bride seen crouching in fear at the altar as the ground shakes and running down the aisle with her wedding guests seeking cover. even as hamas pulls back, israel says it's not backing down. >> we're beyond that point now. hamas are going to pay for the attacks that they are carrying out. it's just unacceptable. >> reporter: israel's iron dome defense system has intercepted dozens of hamas' rockets. mean while, craters and rubble dot landscape where homes and buildings once stood, as the people who runs inhabited them are left injured, mourning and struggling to survive this all too familiar scene of warfare.
3:15 am
and on this side in israel, of course, you hear the sirens and people run for cover but there's no injuries. iron dome proving effective and in gaza it's a completely different story even though israel says that it tries to operate with precision. it has these knocks on the roof as they are called, warning family that it's about to strike a house. we know there's been 26 civilians dead, 26 casualties so far, some of them civilians and eight of them children and that is the pain really of this conflict when you have, you know, types of armaments being used on each side. however precise it is in a highly crowded population like the gaza strip. you will have civilian casualties. john? >> thanks so much, diana magnay for us right along the board they are in israel. michaela. >> quarter past the hour. start with breaking news overnight. north korea firing two short range missiles off its east coast into the ocean as south
3:16 am
korean officials say they are believed to be short range ballistic missiles. japan says they are looking into the launch and plan to lodge a protest with the north korean government. the north has reportedly test-fired missiles about 90 times since february. the u.s. marine corps reservist jailed in mexico says he's more optimistic than ever that he'll be released after a court hearing today. sergeant andrew tahmooressi says he took a wrong turn on california side of the board near tijuana back in march. mexican border officials detained him for possessing three guns registered in the u.s. but not legal in mexico. because of several delays, today will be the first time that a judge hears directly from t tahmoores tahmooressi. the cdc is investigating how viles of the smallpox virus turned up in a storage lab used by the food and drug administration. workers discovered the viles last week in a lab not authorized to store the virus. the samples will be destroyed after they were tested first to see if the virus is viable.
3:17 am
there is no indication that anyone was exposed. as you'll recall, smallpox was wiped out worldwide back in the '70s. it's still uncurable and at least 30% fatal. the voice of disney ice pinocchio has died. >> i can move. i can talk. i can walk! >> takes you right back to your childhood. richard percy jones known as dick jones passed away at his home monday in los angeles. the cause of death not determined. he was a child actor that started work when he was just 3 years old, appearing in nearly 100 movies including 1940s "pinocchio." jones was 87 years old. he apparently beat out some 200 other children for that role. >> cut throw. it's a cut throat business, edged them out. >> take you right back to nyour childhood. >> how can you not say ah.
3:18 am
>> get used to hearing that voice. >> many of them coming from you. coming up next on "new day," this is not all worthy. all the hopes and dreams of the world cup shattered in seven painful goals. people of brazil completely distraught. look at those faces after the loss to germany. we're going to take to you brazil to see how they are coping this morning after the loss. hey, razor. check this out. listen up, thunder dragons, it's time to get a hotel. we can save big with priceline express deals. you know what man, these guys aint no dragons. they're cool. these deals are legit. yeah, we're cool. she's cool. we're cool. priceline express deals really are legit. thousands of people book them everyday. perhaps it's because there are thousands of four star hotels to choose from. or maybe people just like saving up to 55%. look - saving you money makes us happy.

that's the shot right there, guys. the little guy crying in his coca-cola cup kills me every time. brazil's dreams of winning world cup shattered after suffering the agonizing loss from germany. from the first minutes in a staggering 7-1 blowout. worst loss by a host team in the world cup in world cup history, disbelief, sorrow, written all over the fans' faces, cnn's amanda dave ease is live from
3:23 am
brazil. what was it like to watch it from on the ground brazil? >> reporter: won't be pleased to be hearing that music this morning, can i tell you. one of the most uncomfortable nights i've ever experienced at a football match. been luck you enough to go to a few and that was harrowing and i wasn't even supporting either of the sides. i was a neutral. you can only begin to imagine those home fans went through. of course, this is a nation that loves its football, and this was them being beaten on the biggest stage by one of their great rivals with the whole world watching. they will be waking up this morning hoping it will be a dream but you suspect they will be feeling a whole lot worse. despite the glorious morning here, the sun shining and the cockerels crowing. the faces of the fans around us were just something to behold.
3:24 am
it went from stunned silence to humiliation and then finally it went to anger. there was a few scuffles that broke out in the stands behind us. now the postmortem is well under way. you suspect that that will go on much longer than sunday's final. >> thanks to amanda in brazil. germany just scored again. joining us to talk about this is grant wall, spores writer for "sports illustrated." good to see you this morning. >> good seeing you. >> you were up late writing about this game, this event and epic moment in sports history. you call it simply stunning. this doesn't happen in soccer like ever. >> it really doesn't, you know. the stakes of this game were so
3:25 am
big. we're here in brazil, the greatest country in the history of soccer as far as world cup performances and not only do they lose on home soil but lose 7-1, and that's something that's just inconceivable. it still is. i can't believe i'm saying it right here. 7-1, germany over brazil. in brazil in the world cup semifinals. this is something that will take decades to sort out here in brazil. >> there were a couple hundred records broken. let me review a few of them now. the most goals scored in a world cup semifinals, most goals scored by one player, klose broke the record held by ronaldo, the worst loss by a world cup team in cup history and the fastest team to score four goals and the fastest team to score five goals in world cup history. what happened? was this germany just playing
3:26 am
out of control good or brazil playing out of control bad? >> well, it was both actually and brazil didn't have their two best players, neymar and thiago silva. one injured and one suspended but it shouldn't make that much of a difference. brazil sends thousands of players professionally around the world to play this game and yet they had guys here who were completely overrun. part of it tactical and part of it mental. we saw them break down in pears after they won a penalty kick shootout in the round of 16. we saw this team just completely implode when germany started running right through their midfield and defense last night. four goals in six minutes is something the world cup has never seen before, ever, and it happened at a semifinal against brazil, the team that's won more world cups than anybody, and that's just really hard to process. >> anyone getting out of bed
3:27 am
there this morning in brazil? have you seen signs of life on the streets? >> you know, there is sign -- >> there are signs of life. people are going to work here so the town hasn't completely shut down here in rio. it's a little strange because the temple of brazilian soccer is right behind me, and brazil will end up not playing here even once during the world cup. they played in so many different cities and everyone was porting to the final here where brazil would end and end the curse of 1950 where they lost here. now that's not going to happen. >> grant, i have to ask you the final question. does the transitive proper of soccer happen here. the u.s. lost to germany 1-0 and brazil lost to germany 7-1. can we officially say that the united states is better than brazil at sock? >> that's one of the more fun things we have. >> grant wahl, pleasure to speak with you. love reading your stuff in

president obama touching down in texas today where he will meet with texas governor rick perry to discuss the immigration crisis their facing down there, this after the white house asked congress for nearly $4 billion in emergency funding to deal with tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children that have come across the border seeking refuge in the united states but many in congress are not necessarily sold yet. they don't many think that this doesn't solve the problem.
3:42 am
it doesn't get to the heart of the issue. joining us to discuss is cnn political commentator paul begala, democratic strategist and the senior individualser for priorities usa action and also joining us cnn and espanol contributor dan esstreppo, a former top adviser for president obama on latin american affairs. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> paul, when we were talking yesterday, paul said he does think that because it's become quite a question on this trip and become kind of a political question, should the president go to the border, paul said yesterday he should. he said 90% of life is just showing up, even if it's just a photo-op. would you advise the president that he should go to the border? does it seem tone deaf if he doesn't? >> i'm not sure if it's tone deaf if he doesn't. a president showing up can be awfully disruptive and, sure, you get a photo, but right now i think what we need at the border is folks who can help take care of the kids. we need the resources that the administration has asked for, and i think the administration,
3:43 am
they are going to take a lot of heat today for having the president not go to the border, to go to dallas and to go to austin, but i think at the end of the day his showing up to the border today would be more disruptive and would play into the politics of all of this at a time when we actually need people working the problem and not the politics. >> paul, the president is asking for something, asking for $3.8 billion to help battle this issue right now. 1.8 billion of that will go to the dhs for the care of the children. other money goes to immigration judges and the like. do you think this proposal, do you think this will make a difference? >> well, it will make a difference but it won't solve the problem. it will help. i mean, we have a humanitarian crisis. we have thousands of children coming to our country volcano crossed a very dangerous journey. most of them brought by coyotes who really have very own frankly abuse these kid so, yes, of course, we have to take care of the children. we're americans, but the roots of the problems, i was listening

to your interview earlier with juan carlos, the roots are not american, u.s. it's not our law that president bush signed into law and it's not that president obama has allowed some young people to stay. >> right. >> in central america there's violence. >> that feeds into what we hear the criticism coming from republicans. you're asking for $4 billion, is this -- you're just throwing good money after a problem if this isn't going to fix it. >> well, it's like -- okay. the bishop of el paso mark seitz uses an example of a building on fire. the billing is on fire. that's why the kids are jumping out, very dangerous thing to jump out of a building. normally you wouldn't want your children to jump out of a building and when the building is on fire that's what will happen. this $3.8 billion if i can extend the bishop's metaphor is a fire hose. put out fire, still have to rebuild the building but that's the central american's program. the problem is in guatemala and
3:45 am
el salvador and narco terrorist gangs taking over towns and cities and villages. not something that president obama can fix or congress can fix. >> this isn't just a political issue. there are political implications here and you hear people like paul and many people refer to it strictly as a humanitarian crisis, but is there also a border security crisis here? does security need to be improved on the border? >> this is one of the fascinating things about this. these kids want to get caught. they are turning themselves into the first border patrol office their they can find because it's at the end of a very long and dangerous journey as paul just said. more resource ed deployed to th southwest border of the united states than ever before. these are three of the five most dangerous countries in the world that these kids are leaving from. honduras is the murder capital of the world today. it's a -- and there's a huge economic problem in northern
3:46 am
central america. this isn't a question of border security. this isn't a question of enforcement resources at the border. you need more resources to help manage the problem, but those are resources to have more effective and care for these case. a more effective immigration court that can deal with cases on a faster basis. so there is a resource question here, but this is not a boots on the ground problem by any stretch of the imagination. again, these kids are turning them snefls as fast as they can once they get to the united states because they are at the end of a very dangerous trip and they want to be in a safer place. >> dan, i want to get a final thought on this. one thing that's also being wrought up is this question of the 2008 law. this trafficking law, the restrictions on the process of deporting young children from central america. this is -- this has been met with a lot of skepticism and changing this law from democrats on capitol hill. do you think this is a root of this problem?
3:47 am
do you think democrats can really buck the president if you ask him to change the law. >> the root of this problem is in central america. >> what about this law? >> and dealing with this law is part of the management problem here, because one of the ways you stem this flow, and as harsh as this stounds is making sure that the people who don't have a right to be in the united states go back to their home countries as quickly as possible. this law that we have is part of finding that right balancing point and right now i think the administration is struggling to find the right balancing point when it comes to this kid and this law is part of the reason that they are having the challenge. why they want more flexibility, but at the same time the politics of this, within democratic politics, is the reason they are not asking to repeal the 2008 law. >> dan and paul, thanks so much for joining us. this will be a discuss point all day and don't forget president obama meets with governor rick perry later today. that will be very, very interesting. >> let's see where the political
3:48 am
conversation and really the conversation of what can be done quickly in this media crisis and where it goes after today. interesting to see. thank you both very, very much. coming up next on "new day," a big dose of inspiration coming from an adorable 2-year-old little boy. watching him take his first steps on new prosthetics. probably going to tear you up as well as it should. we'll meet this amazing toddler and his mom coming up. pag really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close. introducing at&t mobile share value plans... ...with our best-ever pricing for business.

3:52 am
i got it. >> you do? >> i got it. i got it. >> this fills my heart with so much love, i can't even take it. in case you can't tell from that clip, that is a determined 2-year-old. let me introduce you to kayden kanckle, that video of him taking his very first steps on his prosthetic legs. he was born with a medical condition that caused his organs to be outside his abdomen. two surgeries and earlier this year he had his left leg and right foot amputated because of a birth deformity. his mom nicky put this video on youtube to help raise money for her son's medical expenses.
3:53 am
it has gone viral. nicki and her aspiring toddler kayden, not ready to talk with us, but they are here with us. i can't tell you what a delight it is to meet you. >> how is baby boy doing? >> just woke up. >> he's like who is this crazy lady talking to me. >> did you have any idea that this would go viral? >> not at all. >> what was your hope to put it online. just to encourage people, just to see him be encouraged and know that everything is possible. you trust god and you can do anything. >> you're walking in faith. >> definitely. >> there were concerns when you were pregnant that things weren't going on track exactly. tell me about that. >> they said he had a condition where your liver and bladder and intestines are outside of the body. >> how did you react? >> i never heard of anything
3:54 am
like that before. that was the first thing so it was overwhelming. >> sure. >> and i talked to my husband about it, and, you know, he said we'll have faith so we continued with the pregnancy, watching it get bigger and everyone having doubts and really being discouraging and saying we would have a lot of issues. >> but you never lost your faith. >> no, not at all. >> when he came out he faced a lot of surgeries after he was born. >> two abdominal surgeries. >> in terms of that prognosis, how is he? is he eating healthy in. >> yes. >> he looks like a healthy young man. >> he's fine. >> tell us -- why the amputations, what happened? >> he was missing one bone in his leg, and we -- the problem was we couldn't do any surgeries until everything was done with his stomach, so we had to wait a while and after that we found out his hips were fine and his spine was excellent. >> you're probably just saying thank you, god, for everything that was fine. >> yes, everything, everything. >> so as he's progressing,
3:55 am
everything healed and then we went in chop and they told us about the prosthetics. >> that must have made you thrill to give him some independence and knowing he's so young, if he can get used to the prosthetics now, but the time he's our age he'll be so well versed. >> it's the only way of life he knows. >> he'll be like everybody else. >> when he has on pants, nobody will even know. >> nobody will know. >> and this walker will grow with him, too, i see. >> they will be able to expand it as he grows because he's already two and he's a tall little fellow. does he like walking on it. >> do you think he'd try it right now. >> he just woke up, folks, i don't know. >> in terms of his prognosis. go ahead, can you move him down there. what are doctors saying, out of the woods, just going to keep growing and be strong. >> yes. >> tell me about his personalities, seems like a determined little fellow. >> he is.
3:56 am
he's determined like any other 2-year-old, likes to play, loves basketball and talks a lot. he's quiet right now. >> fellow hasn't had his first cup of coffee. >> aunty kate has to come over and say hi because she's about to have one of these little babies. you stand over there. he really gets around well on this. >> hi. >> and the idea is that you're hoping that this will just become second nature to him. that he'll start learn how to move more fluidly. how long has he had the walker now? >> he's had the walker now for a few months, but the video i posted was the first time he ever wanted to do it by himself. he has an awesome physical therapy, patty and lynn, and i know they are going to be shocked. >> look at him doing it by himself. >> and he said the words i got it. i got it. >> yes. >> because he knew what a success this was and what an achievement it was. >> yes, definitely. >> working hard keeping really
3:57 am
positive through all of this. where are you getting your source of strength? >> my family, my church family and just staying positive and prayi praying. >> still looking at me. >> where am i going, mom? >> come on. >> are you tired? >> turn around. >> how many days a week -- >> i'll get back here, don't worry. >> he wants to keep walking. >> you've got all of this room. >> how many days does he see the physical therapist a week? >> right now only one day. >> and i know the expenses are starting to mount, aren't they? so this is why you posted on youtube. you've got a go fund me. >> yes, i do. >> tell us a little bit about that. >> how is that going so far? >> excellent now, before when i had it up, it was okay. >> it was slow. >> your goal is to get about $50,000 and half of that right now is just going to past bills. >> and not the future stuff because you've got a long road ahead of you. >> i understand that right now
3:58 am
the go fund me sight has $27,500 already raised, how about that. isn't that a nice boost? >> yes, it is. >> i got it. do you got it, kayden? >> yes. >> say i got it. >> you got it? >> mm-hmm. >> you got it? >> a man of few words but a whole lot of steps. >> your son is a great source of inspiration to all of us. we support you and we support kayden. he wants to get up on the anchor desk. look out. >> i know. >> i know. >> nikki, kayden. >> come on over here. >> come on over here. >> thanks so much for joining us, you guys. >> thank you. >> and we wish you well. keep watching the story. >> and cue the meltdown. perfect timing. >> he just wants to walk around the world. >> exactly. >> let me walk more. >> thank you so much. >> love him. >> absolutely beautiful. >> come over here and do the rest of the show with us.
3:59 am
absolutely beautiful. can sit on that all day. close to the top of the hour and we're following a lot of news this morning so let's get right to it. >> he really needs to go there and see this for himself and not just rely on advisers. >> reporter: democrats have called the illegal border crossings a crisis. >> going to pay for the attacks that they are carrying out. >> hundreds of innocents losing their lives as we speak. >> one of the great world cup shocks. >> this is absolutely beyond belief. >> good morning and welcome back to "new day." we'll begin with tens of thousands of undocumented children in limbo as politicians and the government, they argue about how to handle the immigration influx at the southwest border. president obama and texas governor rick perry, they are set to meet today in dallas to discuss the crisis along the
4:00 am
u.s.-mexico border. the president is also urging congress to provide almost $4 billion in emergency aid to help address the issue. not surprisingly though lawmakers on capitol hill deeply divided on that request and how to proceed. what to do about the problem. senior white house correspondent jim acosta is joining us with the very latest. what's going to come from this request, jim, what do you think? >> reporter: republicans are already balking and as for the meeting between president obama and texas governor rick perry it promises to be a tense texas showdown. with the ink barely dry on the president's firely $4 billion plan to halt the flood of undocumented immigrants flowing across the u.s. border prominent republicans in congress are already saying no deal. >> they have asked the congress for a blank check, an awful lot of money that comes to tens of thousands of dollars for each one of these children. >> nearly half of the $3.7 billion white house proposal is
4:01 am
devoted to caring for the unaccompanied minors from central america. the rest goes to detention and removal costs, more border patrols and surveillance and immigration legal teams to speed up deportation proceedings. administration officials say gop critics want to have it both ways. >> they don't get to acknowledge that this is a serious humanitarian problem and then say off hand that they won't provide the support to make sure we can deal with this problem. >> part of the problem, existing u.s. laws that require border crossers to be returned quickly if they come from mexico, yet the undocumented from central america receive special legal protections, a distinction former president bush signed into law to fight human trafficking. >> it is the protection that is required under u.s. law, but it has now escalated to the point of creating a migration emergency. >> reporter: making the border crisis tougher to solve is the political brawl between the president and texas governor rick perry. after an exchange of insults -- >> i have to believe that when you do not respond in any way
4:02 am
that you are either inept or you have some ulterior motive. >> the truth is it's hard to take seriously governor per's concerns. >> reporter: the two leaders will meet in dal yeah, hundreds of miles from the border, aides say, the president won't be visiting. >> i hope the president will reconsider. he really needs to go there and see for this for himself and not just rely on hisses havers. >> reporter: now as for that face-to-face encounter between president obama and governor rick perry, all aides will talk about in terms of a meeting between these two leaders is a roundtable discussion the president is having later on today with faith leaders and local elected officials in dallas. governor perry will be there. as for a one-on-one separate meeting, aides on both sides are just not saying whether or not that will take place. kate, they are being very, very tight-lipped, and, john, being very, very tight-lipped about how all of this is going to go down later today. john? >> jim acosta at the white house. that will be interesting to see. let's talk more about this now.
4:03 am
we'll bring in congressman jokin' castro, a democrat who serves on the house foreign relations committee. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> reporter: >> just heard jim acosta play out $3.7 billion from the president. is this something you support? >> something we should carefully consider. it's unfortunate that the president is having to make this request because for two years now congress has not done anything on comprehensive immigration reform. a lot of the things he's asking for could have been dealt with in the senate version of immigration reform or house version so it's unfortunate that it's come to this, but i do think that we need to look at it carefully. >> you say you will consider it, not a definitive yes or no for the record. >> sure. >> you've recently visited a border facility where you saw where many of the children are being housed right now. >> visited the emergency shelter at lackland air force base in my district in san antonio. what was that like? >> it's a military base so you
4:04 am
have, you know, a few dozen kids per room and in single beds, but it was nothing like the pictures we saw coming out of the processing centers along the border which were just horrendous. >> the pictures that you describe are very dramatic. there are a lot of people, republicans and democrats, suggesting the president should go see those for himself when he heads to your state later today and tomorrow. do you think he should? >> this will not be his last opportunity to make it to the border. he feels that going down there would help his understanding of the situation, you know. this is something that the president is dealing with every day, that much of his administration is committed a lot of resources to finding out about, and so i think if he thinks it will help his understanding he should go down there. >> you had time to spend with some of these children who are here, some of the tens of thousand at this point of children from honduras, el salvador and central america who are here in the united states right now. many of them on these longer stays because of a 2008 law that
4:05 am
was signed by president george w. bush that provides for different rules than for kids from mexico, for instance, who cross over the border here. do you think that that rule, that law, now needs to be changed? >> i think that we can look at it but i don't think anything should be done in haste and also no matter what we do, these kids should be given due process and should be allowed to make their case for asylum, and in the united states over the last several years has not been great about giving people due process to make their case. these immigration hearings are just start and stop. very quick, so these kids should be given every due process. >> due process and make their case for asylum. do you think, sir, some, many, most of them should be sent back? >> i think that some of them will be sent back, but i also think that many of them would qualify for asylum and should be considered as refugees. >> how would you tell those who will be sent back that they are going to be sent back? how would you tell a 10-year-old or a 12-year-old kid that you can't stay here in the united
4:06 am
states? >> well, obviously that's a very difficult thing to do, and our immigration judges do it literally every day, but, you know, it's something that we've got to do as the united states. you know, we have to have immigration laws. people have to come here a certain way, but i do think that many of them, because they are fleeing very violent and dangerous situations where they would be killed if they go home, i think many of them would qualify for asylum. >> congressman castro, thanks so much for being with us. appreciate the discussion this morning. >> thank you. >> kate. let's turn to the middle east now. the situation there escalating overnight as hundreds of rockets and missiles were exchanged between israel and hamas in the gaza strip. the israeli military now mobilizing troops for possible ground invasion, an operation israel says is aimed at stopping the heavy barrage of rocket attacks coming from the palestinian territory. cnn's diana magnay is live with much more. diana? >> reporter: hi, kate. well, it does appear as though
4:07 am
the barrage of rocket fire that we had coming out of gaza yesterday has subsided somewhat overnight. there have been eight, nine, ten intercepts behind us. this is the iron dome missile defense system which has shielded israel's main cities, tel aviv and jerusalem, from rocks that were aimed towards them yesterday. and we've seen intercepts ourselves in the sky, but that does not necessarily mean that through its air strikes the israeli defense forces have neutralized the massive rocket firing capabilities. i don't think it's possible to read too much into it. iron dome though has intercepted 50 rockets so far. air raid sirens continue to sound across israel's main cities and, of course, in gassa the air strikes continue. the israelis say that they have struck 160 targets overnight. most of them concealed rocket launchers. the homes of hamas militants,
4:08 am
caches where they are storing weors. there have been casualties. the count now 26 and 8 children in amongst them so the conflict continues with the possibility of using ground troops in gaza, still hypothetical, but being talked about more and more. kate? >> diana magnay, thanks so much. you've been in the middle of it and will continue to follow it. thank you so much for your reporting. in a stunning upset germany advance to the world cup final after defeating brazil pause, pause, pause, 7-1. it was an agonizing loss. all you have to do is look at the faces of the fans in the stands. the worst loss by a home team in world cup history. the defeat sent shock waves through the could and fans were in shock, in utter disbelief, as their world cup dreams destroyed. amanda davies is live in brazil with much more. waking up with quite a hangover
4:09 am
this morning. >> reporter: kate, they are waking up hoping it was all a dream, and it is really probably worse than the nightmare that they experienced last night. it was one of the most incredible nights of football that i've ever been part of, and just to make things worse for the brazilian fans this morning, you turn on the televisions here and all you can see on every channel is the reruns of that match and the postmortem, the analysis, pulling it apart bit by bit is well under way. you suspect that that is going to be going on for much, muff longer as well, and it really wasn't pretty to watch. after suffering a devastating defeat tuesday night some brazilian world cup fans taking their anger to the streets. >> on the field, germany humiliated the world cup host
4:10 am
country, scoring goal. >> 2-0. >> after goal. >> and there's three. >> after goal. >> 4-0. >> five in the first 9 minutes of the game ending brazil's 39-year winning streak making it brazil's first loss at a home game since 1975. any hopes of winning the world cup dashed before the end of the first half. germany's goalkeeper rejecting brazil's shots one after another and after 70 minutes germany held a 6-0 lead. just before the 90-minute mark brazil finally scored their first and only goal. >> he might score here, he does. >> fans in utter disbelief, grieving in the stands, devastated by the worst loss for a host team in world cup history. germany clobbering brazil in a 7-1 victory. brazilian players booed off by their own fans.
4:11 am
>> 7-1, it's unbelievable. >> it's a shame for brazil. >> the team's coach called it the worst day of his life saying i asked the brazilian people please excuse us for this negative mistake. >> police in riot gear moved swiftly to clear the streets post-game making some arrests. brazil's president tweeting on behalf of a country in mourning writing like every brazilian i am very, very sad about this defeat. i am immensely sorry for all of us, fans and our players. >> i mean, amanda, yes, everyone is sad. every brazil fan is absolutely sad and distraught this morning, but have they gotten to the reason why they think it was such a horrible loss? was germany better, or did brazil just not show up? yeah. that is where the fun really starts, kate. there are so many different takes on this. there is no doubt germany put in
4:12 am
the performance of the last few years for them. they were in control. they were clinical. they dominated the midfield. they only had ten shots on goal and seven of them became goals. that was how efficient they were. the german fans around us were saying it's the best german performance they have seen in a very, very long time and they had a score to settle because germany have been knocked out of the world cup at the semifinal for the last two tournaments, so they definitely wanted to prove a point. brazil was without two men, neymar and captain and defender thiago silva. knew they were important, but basically it was the players that held the team together. without them it was like pulling a plug out of the bath. without them it all went down the plug hole and fell to pieces. the coach put his hands out saying it's his full and his responsibility but the players
4:13 am
really need to have a look at themselves and say, you know what? we got a bit carried away with the emotion of it. standing captain, meant to be the central defenders, miles up the pitch and they just seemed to get too carried away with what was at stake. >> amanda davies, thanks so much. >> went down the plug hole. >> i was joking a little bit but should there be the little league mercy rule? >> little league. my plays play u-7 soccer. they played better defense. they gave up after the second goal. that is what was so disheartening. another thing to lose and another thing to look like you're not putting every ounce of effort into it. >> having lived in brazil i know that in brazil soccer is second only to oxygen in terms of vitality for life. >> and then it's close. >> very close. all i could think about is what is it going to be like today in
4:14 am
brazil? i want to find something we found -- want to show you something we saw on social media. he doesn't even know what to start about it. >> there may be should be a mercy rule. >> insult to injury, they have to play in the third place game on saturday. >> doesn't the coach have to present the cup or something like that? >> that's ugly, too. >> they literally looked shocked themselves, the players. >> germany, every time they scored a goal, we scored again? they let us score again. >> i was like the ref saying we haven't started the clock yet. unbelie unbelievable. >> some freaky friday on a tuesday. >> down the plug hole. >> that's the way to describe it. >> coming up next, the donald sterling saga is heating up as he takes the stand during a contentious court battle, and it certainly was not without any drama. we'll bring you the details.

4:18 am
welcome back to "new day." donald sterling might be back on the witness stand today in the trial to stop his wife's sale of the l.a. clippers. sterling gave contentious testimony going after the nba, the doctors -- and the doctors who declared him mentally impair impaired. >> reporter: drama started before court even began with the entrance of shelly sterling. her husband donald sterling was ushered through a private entrance, but it was his testimony in court that created the biggest stir. donald sterling was emotional. at first he teared up when talking about his wife shelly. i trusted my wife.
4:19 am
i relied on her. i love her, he said, and took a deep breath trying not to cry and then continued. i authorized her to negotiate, negotiate is not to consummate a sale. for most of the testimony though he was combative and at times even ridiculed his estranged wife's attorney bert fields who is one of l.a.'s most feared litigators. at one point donald sterling objects to a question fields asks saying be a man, for god sake, stand up and be a man. for several questions involving dates and times, donald said he didn't remember. even when shelly's attorney read out what donald said during this interview with cnn's own anderson cooper. >> it's a wonderful league. i love every owner. every owner knows me. i love the commissioner. >> reporter: sterling said he couldn't remember that exchange either, but he did remember exactly why he did not want to sell the team for $2 billion.
4:20 am
he believes his wife was being taken advantage of by the nba and the team was actually worth more, even double. >> the idea that this is $2 billion is an extravagance, it's wrong. he actually thinks it will be worth more than that because of the television contracts down the road. >> reporter: as for his performance on the stand, both sides were equally enthusiastic. >> donald sterling did nothing but prove that the doctors were absolutely correct in their conclusions, and, you know, you can't help but be -- feel a little sad, sympathy for the man because clearly it's not working with all of his faculties. >> i think donald did an excellent job on the stand. i want to say out of all the lawyers that were in that room, if i needed a lawyer, i'd hire him. i think the claim that he lacks competency is a sham. it's absurd. >> it was clear to the packed courtroom that donald sterling was holding court in probate
4:21 am

good you have to back with us on "new day." let's take a look at your headlines. the conflict in the middle east getting more intense by the day as more fire section changed overnight near the gaza strip. israel now warning of a possible ground invasion as it launched 160 air strikes against militants. hamas firing more than 130 rockets towards israel in the last day. some of them being fired at civilians as far as tel aviv. they were intercepted by israel's missile defense system. israel says so far there have been 56 successful intercepts by iron dome missiles. >> japan's main island bracing for this season's most powerful storm. tie fine neoguri caused severe flooding and left two people dead on the island of okinawa on tuesday. meteorologists say the storm has weakened slightly, but it still is dangerous. neoguri is expected to reach the island of kyushu today.
4:28 am
90,000 people there are being evacuated to shelters. house lawmakers praising whistleblowers at the department of veterans affairs for coming forward despite a culture of retaliation. at a hearing tuesday, four of them discuss solutions and what they endured, transfers, harassment and even breaks between paychecks. investigators are looking into 67 claims of supervisor retaliation after a cnn investigation exposed long patient wait times and falsified records. the skies really were friendly for passengers on a plane forced to land in bad weather. frontier airlines flight from d.c. to denver turned into a seven-hour nightmare and forced to land in cheyenne, wyoming. the pilot after waiting seven hours on the tarmac order dominoes. we're kind of a big family here at frontier and we take care of each other and i think it's time to take care of my passengers
4:29 am
and called dominoes and order some pizzas. >> the flight made it to denver with five hours late and bellies full. the only thing, and i'm not trying to be cynic a. the only thing that's a problem is all the other pilots are going to take this guy's name in vein, really. make us all look bad. now everybody is going to expect. >> every flight i'm on. >> where's my pizza? >> we had pizza on the last leg, what you got, burgers? >> what do you have for us, john king? did you send us pizza. >> cinnamon rolls, the fruit tray didn't get there? >> cinnamon rolls, now you're speaking my language. >> check the control room. i think they stole the snacks. >> they always do. >> good morning, everybody. we're going to go "inside politics" with no food here at moment. with me on this busy morning to share their reporting, molly ball and jonathan martin of the "new york times." let start with the president trying to deal with the border crisis. the administration first floated he would ask for $2 billion. the request went up yesterday and he asked for $3.7 billionch
4:30 am
the president says that is needed to deal with the humanitarian crisis, to have a surge of border people, more judges to handle this, other resources to deal with this, but listen this, bob goodlatte said he'd have to consider this legislation. he says i don't think so. >> 3.7 billion is a slap in the face of the taxpayers of the united states. this problem, in my opinion, created by the president of the united states in terms of his lax enforcement of immigration laws that's gotten back to these home countries now saying give me money and i will use it to help them settle even further into this country. >> that's a conservative on the house side. before we get to the discussion, here's a conservative on the senate side tom coburn last night on "crossfire." he also says no. >> look, for 8 million you can put them all on a first class seat back to their homes. that's 8 million. that's a first class seat one way to each of their homes.
4:31 am
>> so the president, mole, wants $7.7 billion. tom deburn says you could solve this with 8 million. they will give him his money in the end, will they not? they may disagree with how this started and may disagree with everything the president wants to do, but it's a crisis. are they going to tell the president no money? >> it's starting to look like this is not going to happen, at least not the way the administration wants to. it's striking. these are a couple of republicans that you just played. not getting a terrible amount of backup from democrats either. there was not an outpouring of, you know, rallying around their party and rallying around their president. julian castro was on the show and offered a rather tepid defense of what the administration wants to do. i think there are pitfalls for the republicans, too, just like they have done women gracious appearing to stonewall absolutely anything that the president wants to do, even in the face of a crisis, but he's not getting a lot of backup on
4:32 am
this issue. >> how does it play out? there's a lack of of trust, you know. the comprehensive immigration reform, that idea is dead probably for the rest of the obama presidency. jonathan, if everyone agrees that having 50,000, 60,000, 80,000 people at the border in the temporary detention centers or whatever you want to call them is a crisis, is it just -- are we going to have a total lack of political will to figure it out? >> very possibly, yeah. it wouldn't be the first time in washington that's happened. as molly mentioned there's a total breakdown of trust between the republicans and president obama, and i think beyond that there's a reluctance to be seen as doing anything at all to sort of enable president obama or even help him politically in an election year. the combination of the lack of trust and the combination of the fact that we're in an election year i think is a recipe for more gridlock. >> somebody who could help him if he could help him would be a big-state republican governor on the border, namely rick perry. we talked about this yesterday. there's been a little back and forth, political dance between
4:33 am
the two leader. they are actually going to meet. when the president is in texas today, rick perry accepted the president's invitation to come to a private meeting and to sit in on a roundtable discussion about this issue. rick perry wants to run for president again. can he step outside of that box? is there any possibility, mark me down as stupidly naive i guess, that these two guys, the president. united states, a democrat, the big-state republican governor of texas could walk out of a meeting saying we disagree and however we agree on these two or three things. is that at all possible in today's america? >> anything is possible. hope springs eternal. >> that's a polite way of saying no. >> they are having this meeting, but rick perry has always gotten a lot of political mileage out of opposing washington, been his brand since elected and especially since the tea party came to power and at first, you know, it was very much his brand was i'm the, you know, borderline secessionist texas governor against everything coming out of washington so to continue that now is not out of
4:34 am
step with what he's always been. there is a question about, you know, since he's been making so much noise about this border issue, will he try to appear constructive based on this meeting, and -- and, you know, i don't think it benefits him to come out and just say nothing could be done. >> i actually think perry would have more incentive to strike some kind of a deal with obama if perry was running for re-election in texas. obviously the pressing issues in texas on the border himself. he's more incentivized, perry is, to oppose obama. >> working to become the next republican nominee. a long way to go before we get to that point. were rick perry were to be next republican nominee they will accept their nomination not in dal yeah, one of the finalists, rick per could have had a home state conveng. instead in cleveland, ohio, unless it hits a hiccup here no. republican has won the presidency in modern times without winning ohio. say that every four years and
4:35 am
for good reason, because it happens to be true and president obama won ohio twice and the republicans don't have the white house. why else? why would the republicans say ohio over reliably red texas? >> we always make too much of the politics surrounding conventions. the first thing -- >> so true. >> the first priority when you're scheduling a convention is about hotel rooms and donors, where logistically can you hold a convention and that's important to the convention bid. of course, there's politics to it and it definitely was a calculation on the part of the rnc that texas was not a good look, the national brand too much about the cowboy, tea party deep red state thing and ohio, where you've got john kasich who has tacked way to the middle, rob portman who is also carved out a brand as something of a moderate, this is a swing state, as you mentioned, this is a better context for republicans to try to be seen in. >> i had a member of the site
4:36 am
selection committee tell me yesterday that every question we needed a yes on the answer was yes. to mole's point, logistically could do it, had the hotel rooms and the money and new shiny arena. they could do that. plus you add on there's no big downside politically to having it there. denver, legal marijuana or phoenix where you've got 110 degrees or texas where you've got heat plus the politics, there's no downside there. in fact, politically there's an upside. it's the consummate swing state. molly is right, so consumed with it and it's forgotten so fast. >> you raised this long time ago, first one to write the story about pat roberts having some trouble because he spends all of his time, lives in washington and stays on a friend's couch back home. his opponent is trying to make hay of
4:37 am
4:38 am
if you did not hear that, that was, you want to hit a this? you know, colorado has these new laws, there are certain things. i don't know. >> we were playing around, thinking we should have a caption contest with the horse head picture. that is way too much fun. especially being in denver. >> the gorilla and the horsehead guy may have had a hit of that. just guessing. >> listen closely several times. the president never said no. >> excellent point, john berman. >> berman starts another conspiracy. here we go. >> "the huffing post" "in

politics there are always a few naysayers around. thanks, john. they tried. >> there's a main line publication there, get it? never mind. moving on coming up next on "new day" a battle is brewing in idaho. gay veteran is suing after she was denied burial next to her late wife. this morning she's speaking out to us about the case. why did david letterman walk out during his interview with joan rivers? hmm. we'll tell you what happened. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close. introducing at&t mobile share value plans...

madeline taylor, a u.s. navy veteran who served the country for six years during the vietnam war, she's been rejected from one of the nation's veterans cemetery. state officials say it's currently against idaho law to allow her to be buried with the ashes of her late wife. now taylor is fighting back, launching a lawsuit so she can do just that, be buried in her home state next to her wife. madeline taylor and her attorney deborah ferguson, they are joining us now via skype. madeline, thanks very much for coming in. these are all very difficult issues to discuss, even if there isn't a legal matter -- a legal
4:44 am
matter involved. your wife, she passed last year. couples always have this discussion of when we go, how we want to be buried and end of life issues like this. i'm sure you had that kind of discussion. what were her wishes? >> yes. >> what were your wishes? what did you decide? >> we both wanted to be cremated and put into a hole somewhere, and -- and the veteran cemetery seemed like the best place to go for constant care, beautiful place, by the way. >> so you show up at the cemetery office trying to make advanced plans for your burial, and what did they say to you? >> they said no. >> what went through your mind? >> i had no idea that a veterans cemetery was ruled by state laws. i thought it was federal, and i charged in there.
4:45 am
>> what went through your mind when they said that to you, essentially saying sorry, you're out of luck? >> they carefully explained the state laws, and i decided we just had to change those state laws. >> why is this cemetery, why is being in idaho in this cemetery, why is it important to you? why not -- some will look at this and say why not go to a federal cemetery which currently would allow you to be interred along with your law? >> no federal cemeteries in idaho at all, so that's -- the veterans cemetery here is a state-run facility, and my family is all here. i have two brothers, two sisters and their kids and their grandkids all here in the area. >> and you're dealing with some serious health issues yourself
4:46 am
which just drives home the point that time is of the essence. >> right. >> what are you dealing with, and what does this mean for you? >> i just had a stent put in up in seattle, and that's got me thinking i better get moving. >> what do you make of all of this? you seem pretty -- you seem very upbeat about kind of the prospects of this and facing this. what do you make of it? >> well, it's going to happen whether i -- i would rather have it happen in my lifetime. otherwise my pastor's got my ashes and she will sit there waiting for them to change the law. >> where is this confidence coming from? >> your personality. >> my personality, that's right. i'm a very persistent person. i'm persistent, stubborn and
4:47 am
optimistic. >> yeah. >> debra, what do you make of kind of the legal situation and the battle you guys are facing going forward? as we know, time is of the essence for madelynn. how quickly do you think we'll have a decision on this? >> well, i think madelynn's case is a very vivid illustration of why these discriminatory laws have to be strug down, and so we want to move forward, you know, as quickly as possible to get a ruling that would allow madelynn's ashes to be interred with her spouses upon her death. >> have you considered the what if, what you'll do or what you'll wishes will be if you don't win this challenge and it doesn't go in your favor? >> we've already set up a system for my pastor to take care of
4:48 am
our ashes until they do change the law, and then they will go in there. they will go in, whether we get the law changed now or later. >> definitely are per sieve ent. we see that in your nature. i think this is probably not only on this very issue. madelynn taylor and deborah ferguson, please keep us updated on the progress of your case. >> thank you very much. thanks for your time. coming up next though on nude day, exiting stage left. david letterman storms off the set during his interview with joan rivers. what happened? we're going to tell you.

a lone star meeting. president obama set to meet with the texas governor today. the focus? the crisis at the border, with
5:00 am
billions of dollars on the line, is the president doing enough to address the immigration crisis, and how will congress respond? deadly violence. hundreds of rockets and missiles soaring between israel and gaza as the mideast violence continues to escalate and now a new threat with militants using rockets, more powerful than ever, is a ground invasion now on the horizon? historic loss. brazil, one of the best soccer teams on the planet, gets pummeled by germany in the world cup, losing 7-1. this kind of defeat is unheard of. how did it happen? >> your "new day" continues right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >> announcer: this is north dakota with chris cuomo, kate bolduan and michaela pereira. >> good morning, and welcome once again to "new day." it is wednesday, july 9st, 8:00 in the east. john berman sticking with us.
5:01 am
chris is off today. president obama is set to meet with faith leaders and texas officials including governor rick perry. they'll discuss how to handle the inn flux of undocumented immigrants including unaccompanied children along the u.s./mexico border. >> today's meeting comes after the president asked to provide almost $4 billion in emergency aid to address this issue. not surprisingly that request is already seeing some resistance. alina machado is at the epicenter of this immigration surge in the border town of mission, texas, for us, good morning, alina. >> reporter: good morning, john. this is where you can really see and feel the heart of this immigration crisis. we're right on the river, right on the rio grande. mexico is just on the other side. now,'obama, though, will not be making it down here. he's going to be meeting with the governor some 500 miles north of here in dallas. now some about 60,000 to 80,000 children are expected to cross into the u.s. alone just this year, and many of them are going to end up in the care of
5:02 am
faith-based organizations, but there is some growing concern about how long these organizations are going to be able to keep this up. take a listen. >> what's going to happen when the faith organizations run out of money, when the donations no longer come, when you no longer have volunteervolunteers, the b will be on cities. if we use tax money and tied for money now, are we going to get reimbursed and that's the challenge that we face. >> now this challenge will likely be here for a while. the border patrol by the way has a strong presence here, just in the time that we've been here since last night we have seen several helicopters hovering, patrolling the river to try to see if they can find any immigrants who may be crossing. john and kate? >> alina ma schado at the borde thank you for laying out the issue. this issue has been clouded
5:03 am
by political partisanship. we want to cut through the noise and explain why this is happening or try to get to the heart of the issue. joining us to discuss, rubin aberte a cnn contributor and columnist for "the daily beast." ruben you covered issues surrounding illegal immigration for some 20 years now. yes, there say lot of noise and a lot of passion political partisanship on this issue but when you look at this surge at the border, where did it come from? how did it start? >> kate, good morning. thanks for having me. the best estimation we have, the best answer that question is, it came in three pieces and one was the war and desperation and poverty in central america. it's been there for a long time, it's been aggravated lately because the youth gangs like ms-13 have been running that country, and you don't have any stable military or police force to fend off that threat. the second component was these organized efforts by the smuggling cartels, the human
5:04 am
trafficking cartels to put in place false media stories in the central american media telling people that congress had passed an amnesty, get up there and claim it, and the third final piece of it was, unbeknownst to the rest of it, there was a policy in place by the border patrol that had been put in place as recently as 2008 by george bush in an amendment to a bill that basically said if you come here as an unaccompanied minor, we don't send you back home again. so when the kids did come out of desperation, because they'd seen the ads and their parents had seen the ads when they arrived, they were given a notice to appear and they mistook that for the promiso they had been promised. word got back home that it was true and more people started coming. it was those three things together. i hate the term perfect storm but this was a perfect storm. >> let's talk about each one of the issues. they are each being discussed and also being caught up in kind of the political noise of it all. the issue of the misinformation that you say coming from the cartels and the smugglers, how
5:05 am
real is that? how big of a problem was that misinformation down in central american countries? because that with sis one of th reasons republicans point to the president essentially welcomed this in the way he talked about the issue of immigration, deportations of young people, specifically when talking about the dream act. here's some of what he said over the past couple of years. listen to this. >> classmates of our children who are suddenly under this shadow of fear, through no fault of their own. they didn't break a lot. they were kids. send me a law that gives them the chance to earn their citizenship. i will sign it right away. it makes no sense to expel talented young people who, for all intents and purposes, are americans. >> was this really used as propaganda by smugglers? >> no, this part was not used by the smugglers. the smugglers created something
5:06 am
out of whole cloth, made up a complete fabrication and lie that said that not president bush -- not president obama had passed an amnesty. they said specifically congress had passed an amnesty. it was a complete fabrication. the republicans on this issue are incredibly thick-headed and wrong. i'm always struck in this issue and this debate the people who are most passionate about immigration are also oftentimes the most ignorant about it and i think radio talk show hosts who i listen to all day long who don't understand the issue and mix together the dream act which was a piece of legislation that did not pass with president obama's dhaka order for people who had been in this country for many years with this new order signed into law by president bush, relatively new order that allows the border patrol to keep unaccompanied minors. the conservatives put it in one pot and stir it together and have this mush and they put it together in two or three syllables. it doesn't make sense. it's not what happened. the cartels in a shrewd way made $400 million, $8,000 a head
5:07 am
times 50,000 kids, and that's the motivation and created and fabricate a lie to perpetuate and make that profit. >> ruben, not just republicans but folks also saying when you look at the numbers over the past years, the surge is not today's problem. it has been happening. its eig's been going on. is there also an argument when you look at the administration and they're looking at the immediate crisis, they should have seen this coming all along. >> right, they dropped the ball. today as you said you have this meeting in texas in dallas between governor perry and president obama. it's not going to go well. president obama doesn't like to be challenged. he's very defensive. he doesn't take criticism well and governor perry will mention off the top of the meeting, listen, pal, we told you three years ago this was happening, because in fact, the texas department of homeland security was aware of this trend of a greater number of unaccompanied minors as early as 2011, and they told the federal government, the federal government was caught asleep at the switch, they didn't do anything about it to prepare for
5:08 am
it, and now they're in this horrible pickle. this is not an advantageous situation for obama. he didn't bring this onto himself. he didn't create it. it's a nightmare for president owe pa ma. he's trying to fix the problem, get rid of these kids as fast as he can. >> in fixing the problem, that, of course, is the important part right now. let's separate any conversation about comprehensive reform from the immediate crisis, and talking just about this crisis, this $3.7 billion in emergency aid the president's asking for. do you think that gets at a fix? >> i think it's a start. i don't and mind they're generous in the funding. i mind that they're naive as to this being a imaginic bullet. the level of ignorance among folks in washington politician there is about the border is to profound and one of the mistakes they make is they think the more money they throw at the border, the more security they'll get in return. it doesn't work that way. last week, as of a couple weeks ago, the mexican cartels were
5:09 am
charged $3,000 a head to come into this country. if obama gets this funding and they fortify that border the cartels will raise their prices to $6,000. so it's a broken system where the more money you spend to defeat your opponent the stronger your opponent gets. >> that sums up why this issue is such a problem. there seems to be valid points on both sides but they don't seem to be speaking the same language when it comes to this immediate crisis and especially when it comes to what they're going to do about comprehensive reform if they ever get to that. ruben navarrette, great to see you. thanks so much. >> thank you. israel stepping up its defense effort in its conflict with hamas. overnight israel launched 160 air strikes targeting mill tabts and it's warning of a possible ground invasion, while trying to limit civilian casualties there. it comes after hamas fired more than 130 rockets toward israel. several of them were headed to major cities, including tel aviv.
5:10 am
let's go to diana magnay who is in the region. >> reporter: overnight israel launched at least 160 strinkes n the gaza strip. the middle east on the brink, hamas responding with just four rockets overnight. one of hamas' rockets an m-302, just like the missile shipment israel intercepted from iran four months ago, leaving israel's defense force to believe iran is supplying hamas with weaponry. on tuesday the border between israel and the gaza strip illuminated by the flames of war. video released by the israeli military reportedly shows various hamas militants stealth inily even merging from the mediterranean sea. the next shot shows firing at their incoming enemy, targeted rocket attacks reportedly eliminating the other hamas militants, five in all were killed. >> they came to the wrong beach party. they should have stayed on their own side of the fence.

5:19 am
welcome back everyone. new developments in the case against justin ross harris, the father accuseded of letting his toddler die in a hot georgia car. investigators have taken his suv back to the scene of this incident, as troubling details about the 22-month-old's car seat are now being revealed. i want to bring in our legal minds this morning, joining us from atlanta are mo ivory, attorney and radio personality and paige pate, criminal defense attorney with us and very well connected in the legal scene down there, knows lawyers on both sides. paige, i want to start with you. i understand from you that the defense team, there's some toxicology reports back looking into the son, cooper, that found nothing of any, you know, consequence in his system. do you think that's good or bad for the defense? >> well that's the kind of evidence, john, that could cut either way. i think the defense will take
5:20 am
this evidence and say look, it's obvious that there was nothing here to try to drug the child, try to sedate the child, so that would be more likely he wouldn't cry out or scream if he was left in the car, so the defense will deal with it that way. the prosecution, on the other hand, will say there's no reason the child should have been asleep just a few minutes after leaving the chick-fil-a. so like most pieces of evidence in this case, both sides will try to spin it to their favor. >> you know, mo, we're talking a lot about evidence, toxicology reports, rear-facing car seats, why did they use that? they can just bought a front-facing car seat, the straps were tight. there are a lot of pieces investigators are trying to put together. you're talking a lot about this on the radio. have we gotten to the point where we're missing the forest for the trees here? we're still talking about a father who left his son in a car all day, basically. >> sure. i don't think -- i think as we go through the legal process, we can't jump straight to the forest, because we have to do
5:21 am
the investigations. we have to do all of the stuff that will lead ultimately to a conviction in a trial. i think most people and what i've been hearing on the radio from most people, make him fry. like he's done it. it's proven that he's done it. i this i that as we hear these little bits of pieces come out as we did last week at the hearing, and as we see the crime scene being recreated, i think in the public opinion, most people feel that he absolutely killed his child, and i do believe that most people also think that his wife had something to do with it. >> let's talk about the wife, page, because she paid a visit to the husband, you know, how does that look for her? does she need to be careful communicating with her husband right now? >> oh, there's no question. >> absolutely. >> she needs to be careful. i hope she's consulting with a lawyer right now. obviously all of those communications at the jail are being monitored. they're being recorded. anything they could say, whether it's about the case or about the family could be used against both of them, if the case later
5:22 am
goes to trial. however, i don't think the state is ready to charge her yet. there's no rush here, and at this point, i think they will continue with their very meticulous investigation to try to gather up enough evidence to first charge him with intentional child cruelty, and perhaps malice murder, and then indict her as an accessory to that crime, if they're able to find that evidence. >> mo, you're itching to get into the subject. >> i think they're setting up a case dwens her. i thought that earlier this week she would be arrested, whether a conspiracy charge or whatever the charge would be. i felt the police were being very quiet because they were going to drop the ball that she would be arrested. her behavior, her actions, i mean just everything leads up to her having known that this was about to take place, and so yesterday, they had to visit a video conference visit, we don't know what the contepts nts of w they were. she needs to stop putting
5:23 am
herself in a position they can gather more and more. in georgia she has to testify. there's not the husband/wife privilege when it deals with the death or endangerment of a child. she will ultimately either be a witness for the prosecution or a witness for the defense. >> you know what, i suppose it cuts both ways. had she not visited her husband when she is called to the stand as a character witness possibly, people would say why didn't you visit your husband? do you think there's something wrong? are you suspicious of him. there is that, too. most talking about public opinion here, page, in what is being perceived from the outside. we have this legal system that tries to separate the public opinion right now. are investigators in georgia, and you know the system down there better than i do to be sure, are they being more careful than they usually are? are they doing more investigating than they usually do before we get more charges here? >> john, i think so. first of all, everyone should know that the cobb county police department is one of the better law enforcement agencies in georgia. they're always very professional, very good, very
5:24 am
focused, but in this case, they realize everybody's watching, and they realize that if this case eventually goes to trial, the defense is going to push back at every opportunity. so they are being very meticulous about their investigation, and they have time, but not unlimited time. since they're holding him without bond, the d.a.'s office has to indict the case within 90 days, so the clock is ticking for him. >> page pate, mo ivory, great to have you with us. so many interesting discussions here. mo, you hear it every day, people talking about it all the time. thanks, guys. >> absolutely. thank you, john. coming up next on "new day," president obama and texas governor rick perry are getting ready to meet on the issue of immigration. we'll talk with texas republican senator john cornyn about the president's request for emergency funds to handle the crisis there.

welcome back to "new day." today president obama is headed to texas. he'll be meeting with governor rick perry in dallas to discuss the immigration crisis along the u.s./mexico border, this is after the white house asked congress for nearly $4 billion in emergency funding to deal with the tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children and families who are seeking refuge in the united states, but the question is, will the more money fix this problem. what will stem this surge? joining us now to discuss, number two republican in the senate, john cornyn of texas. senator, good morning. >> good morning, good to be with you. >> thank you very much. it's great to have you. so the president is heading to texas. you have been very critical that the president has not been
5:36 am
planning to go to the border. i heard you say that he either doesn't understand the crisis or simply doesn't care. the white house has given no indication that he's going to go to the border, but if he would go to the border, what would that change? >> well he would see what i saw and what other democrat leaders in congress have seen, and that is a humanitarian crisis that's unfolding in part because of the perception that the president's not committed to enforcing the law, and so there's no deterrent for the children, many very young from taking the long perilous journey from mexico through central mexico, subject to the mercy of the cartel. many women are assaulted, people are kidnapped. some don't make it because they're injured. this is a real crisis and the president needs to treat it as such and i think traveling from dallas to the border is a 500-mile trip, that's not far to go on air force one, would help
5:37 am
him understand, you know, presidents sometimes live in a bubble, and i think right now the president's looking at this through more of a political lens rather than a policy lens. he knows what to do, and he should go to the border and show his commitment to solving the mem. >> let's talk real quick about at least one of what people are pointing to as the root of this surge, the cause behind it. you mentioned the perception that he is not strong enough on deportations. earlier this morning in "the dallas morning news" it was headlined "obama's deferred action policy, not congress, led to illegal crossings." but we do know when you're talking about the deferred action order and deporting young people, that was put in place in june 2012, and when you look at the numbers, the numbers were already surging years before that. how do you square that? >> well, it started actually with a memo written by the then director of immigration and customs enforcement, john
5:38 am
morton. it's really been a progression of things, culminating i think with the deferred action announcement, but the irony here is that even the president has said the deferred action executive order would not apply to these children, and he himself has called for their return to their country of origin. really i think the vulnerability that the cartels and other criminal organizations have figured out, because they're making big money off of transporting these kids up through mexico from central america, is the lack of detention pending a court hearing, and what's happened is these children are placed with family members in the united states, and given a notice to appear for a later court hearing, some have called this a notice to disappear, not a notice to appear, and 90% of them don't show. >> that's getting to the 2008 law that was passed by unanimous consent in the senate under the bush administration. do you support -- i assume that you support changing that law. >> well i think that needs to be
5:39 am
changed so that all people who enter the country illegally, whether they're adults or children, are detained pending a court hearing. you know, really one of the benefits of a court hearing for these children is some of them may actually qualify for some benefit under our current immigration law, but if they don't show up, they are given a default order of deportation, but the problem is, i.c.e. doesn't have the capacity to pursue them and return them to their country of origin, so there's no deterrent so they're going to keep coming. >> part of the problem with that, if you look at the maybe unintended consequence of that law was that this can go on for years that children, young people are waiting to have this court appearance. obviously you change that law, it's giving more authority to speed up that deportation or speed up that process to get them before a judge. i wonder, though, how quickly do you want to see young people deported, sent back, because the white house has been asked this, and they have not given a time limit. >> well, the president himself has said that his policies would
5:40 am
require the return of these children to their families, and their country of origin but with what we need to do, i this i we do need to have more resources, more immigration courts, and a faster process, but you can't release people to family members with no hope that they return for their court hearing. that's how 90% of them avoid their court hearing. >> with that in mind, will you support the president's nearly $4 billion request? >> well i'm anxious to work with the president and the white house and congress to try to find a solution to the problem. i do think that some money is warranted for increased detention facilities and to surge more resources to the border to teal with the humanitarian crisis but the president has divorced the money request from any policy change to that 2008 law which would actually solve the problem and i think that's disappointing to say the least. >> you know, senator, my colleague john, he asked a democratic congressman this
5:41 am
question earlier in the show and i think it's important to ask. you, yourself, are calling it a humanitarian crisis at the border. it's one thing to talk about the numbers and say there's a surge of people come over the border and we need to send them back if they don't qualify for, if they don't qualify to stay. but what would you, if you're faced with one of these young kids, what do you tell a child who has been brought over here that they now need to be sent back? >> well, i met a young man 13 years old from central america last week, when i was in mcallen. i think the president would meet children like that, on his visit to the border. when we asked him where his parents were, he said his parents were dead and of course that breaks your heart to think that that child has made this trip up here because some family members paid $5,000 to the cartel to smuggle him up here, but he may, in fact, if he shows up for a court hearing, qualify for an immigration benefit. if you're a victim of sex
5:42 am
trafficking, human trafficking, you can qualify for a t-visa they call it, while the criminal investigation is ongoing. right now these children simply don't return for the court hearing and there's no deterrent and so the numbers we see since october 52,000 so far are going to double and triple unless a solution is found. >> with so many things, but especially this issue, timing is of the essence. what is your sense, you've been in the senate a long time, you're the republican whip. will there be action on this emergency request from the president before the august resnes. >> i sure hope so. we're working with the house to try to talk about how, what the packable would look like. it's the presidents prerogative to make the request but up to the congress, the house and senate to work together to try to pass not only a package that would deal with the humanitarian crisis but one that would solve the problem. the president did request that part of it, but we're going to
5:43 am
add it and we'll send it to his desk i hope. >> senator john cornyn, thank you for your time. it's great to see you. >> thank you very much. >> of course. john? next up for us on "new day," he is the man who could handle the truth. he is the man who is left-handed after directing such classics as "the princess bride" and "a few good men." rob reiner joins us here to talk about his new film with michael douglas and diane keaton. it is a great one. rob reiner with us next. a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen,

last time i tore my acl. >> is this relevant to anything? >> i thought it's some information you should have. >> is this by any chance some pathetic attempt at flirtation? >> well, when you put it that way, no. >> oh, my goodness, one of the great scenes out of rob reiner's new film. he's directed some of the most popular movies of past few decades. that was a clip from his latest project "and so it goes." he both directs and stars in the new row 3457b tick comedy alongside michael douglas and diane keaton. in the film, douglas portrays a self-centered crampingy realtor whose life changed when he enlists the help of his neighbor, diane keaton to help out with a family situation. joining us is rob reiner in case you need to be reminded movies like "when harry met sally" and
5:48 am
the favorite of the morning news here of "new day," "princess bride." >> inconceivable. >> inconceivable. >> i promised we wouldn't have the entire interview about "the princess bride" like last time. >> i saw this the film the other day and not just saying it because you're sitting in front of me. i love it because it's about people, regular people who happen to be of a certain age and it's no big deal. >> we found that when we did bucket list, there's an audience out there for stories about people who are finding love later on in life. we made the joke all the time that in our core demme graphic, we have like 100% desire to see with 40% ability to get to the theater. if there's something for them to see, they like, we're the largest in the population. the baby boomers. >> are you drawn to the subject matters as you get older? >> i am.
5:49 am
>> he just called you an old man. >> i implied it. i didn't say it. zwr wh >> when i turned 60 i recognized at that point that i was a very, very, very young old person that it was like the beginning of being an old person and when that happens, you start looking at your life and thinking about mortality and thinking about the cliches that you remember hearing when you were young that life is precious, you have to live every moment and embrace life and you start internalizing it. >> i read that you said a lot of your films you write that you direct reflecting your life that you see at that period of time. what does this reflect? >> well, it does. look, i've made a number of romantic comedies over the years, and basically i tell the same story, and it's told at a different vantage point at one point in my life. the sure thing is college kids "when harry met sally" is young
5:50 am
adults and so it goes, it's older adults. it's the way i view this weird dance that we have between men and women. women are like, my view, they're more evolved, they're more connected to their feelings, they're more -- >> keep going. >> it's true. >> you're sucking up. >> i'm not sucking up. it's two against two but men are basically idiots. we run around trying to figure out what to do until we meet a woman who is going to tell us what's important. >> that's where i went wrong all this time. now i understand. where were you 20 years ago. >> clearly don't understand. >> to the fact that you update this to bring in some really current issues of things that people are struggling with, and in fact almost painfully reminding us of michael douglas' only situation. >> right. >> wanted to ask you about that. he in the movie is dealing, without giving away, you have to go see it, he has to tedeal wita
5:51 am
child dealing with addiction. was that written in? >> the script was designed before michael douglas was thought of to play the part. it does have a son that he's, you know, has to go to jail and when michael -- i was nervous when michael read it. >> you're good friends. >> we are good friends and very close. i thought this will be tough for him. he read it, no, leave it in there and we'll go with it. they're tough issues. when he plays the scenes he doesn't have to go too far. >> is it true michael douglas and diane keaton have never been on the screen? >> two great academy award winners. >> we've been missing out. >> i never worked with diane and i loved it. she works the same way as i do, very instinctive, improvizational. wait a second, you think that was a toupe? >> i read about it. >> it's character acting.
5:52 am
>> as evidenced. >> i thought it was undetectable. >> you said it was more evolved. lovely hair hat. >> yes, a cat died on the set and we tried to honor it by putting, burying it on my head. >> listen, it is interesting because you did act in this film as well, and you don't appear in a lot of your own films. you were in "this is spinal tap" which was genius. >> thank you. >> how do you choose? >> thisin this case i wanted thy who composes my music and paul schaeffer, the band leader for "lett "letterman" whoed pianist. i have a small budget and found an actor to scale. >> this young gal this 9-year-old in this film is, i if el in love with her, sterling jenkins. how did you find her? >> she came in and read.
5:53 am
>> that still happens? >> yes. i found out later that she played brad pitt's daughter in world war z but i didn't know she came in, she was full blown. i've never seen a young actress be that complete an actress at that point. she had to cry on cue, she did three, four times, it was astounding. >> like "stand by me" for instance? >> kids are kids. some kids, like this kid had incredible craft already. most kids are just, you know, raw. they have instincts and they don't have any bad habits but they don't have much craft. they want to act. >> rob, i was also reading about you that your father, still you've got good genes, by the way. great jeans on today. you're a young, young, young old person. what is next for you? you've got a whole lot left
5:54 am
>> that's one of the things we focus on, and so it goes is that in film, diane keaton plays a person who is becoming a singer at age 65, which my mother did at age 65 and she lived 'til 94. we are living longer and we do, can have second and third careers. >> fourth and fifth. >> yes. what are you on? >> ooh, i don't know. i've lost count. >> give me another, can i point this out, we have to go. july 21st marks the 25th anniversary. >> oh, i thought you were plugging the film. >> no, the 25th anniversary of "when harry met sally is." >> "i'll have what she's having." >> this happens on? >> july 25th. >> "and so it goes" go see the film, you'll laugh, might tear up. it's so much fun. it's a delightful film. >> we love when you come to visit, rob. come back soon. >> absotuteely. not using english words now.
5:55 am
>> i like it. >> rob wrote it. one determined 2-year-old taking his first steps on youtube. he's a sensation online and we had the chance to meet him, he melted our hearts. it's "the good stuff" and it's coming up. don't just visit san francisco.
