>> your "new day" starts no statue looking beautiful this morning. good morning. welcome to "new day." friday, the 11th of july. 6:00 in the east. chris and kate are off. mr. john berman joins me. >> i like to call it the "a" team. >> christine romans will join us with the headlines and will get in on the "a" team business a little later. house speaker john boehner doubling down on president obama ready to slap the commander in chief with a lawsuit saying the president violated the constitution when he changed his signature health care law, boehner also blasting the president on the border crisis accusing obama of lack of leadership. the president, meanwhile, is firing back claiming gop leaders would rather point fingers than come up with solutions. our senior white house correspondent jim acosta joins us from the white house, a back and forth and a fair amount of

rhetoric. >> reporter: absolutely, michaela, that's right, and the white house reaction to john boehner's lawsuit was swift and harsh with press secretary john ernest calling it a political stunt, a new day for washington dysfunction when it's headed for a courthouse. it's a constitutional collision between both ends of pennsylvania avenue. >> this isn't about me suing the president. what we're talking about here are places where the president is basically re-writing law to make it fit his own needs. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner made official what he's threatened for weeks, that he's filing a lawsuit against the president saying mr. obama's executive actions to change the health care law and other federal programs are evidence of a white house that's out of control. >> really? really? for what? you're going to sue me for doing my job? >> reporter: just hours before house republicans revealed their

lawsuit bill the president was sharpening up his defense in texas. >> i've got a better idea. do something. if you're mad at me for helping people on my own, let's team up. let's -- let's pass some bills >> reporter: brewing courtroom battle comes as the president and boehner are already sparring over the white house plan for the border crisis, a problem mr. obama said could be solved with immigration reform. >> ronald reagan passed immigration reform, and you love ronald reagan. let's go ahead and do it. >> this is a problem of the president's own making. he's been president for five and a half years. when is he going to take responsibility for something? >> reporter: even the first lady jumped into the fray speaking to a latino group in new york. >> make no mistake about it. we have to keep on fighting as hard as we can on immigration. >> reporter: it was a rare entry into partisan politics for

michelle obama as a growing number of fellow democrats complained the president has mismanaged the migrant crisis. >> this problem has been going on for a long time, and now it's been exaggerated by this humanitarian crisis that we have with thousands of children coming into texas and into my state in arizona. >> reporter: now as for boehner's lawsuit the speaker said expect more details in the coming days, but boehner's office said that much of the case will center on the president's decision to delay the employer mandate in obamacare without going through congress. a boehner spokesman said that is the best example of the president overstepping his constitutional bounds and perhaps the best chance the lawsuit has in succeeding in court. john? >> all right. let's take a look now at this a little bit deeper. thanks to jim acosta there. want to talk about the new lawsuit against the president, also the border crisis with our cnn political commentators, democratic strategist paul begala, senior adviser for priorities usa action and also also joining us republican

strategist kevin madden. i want to start with you here, kevin, because we've been talking for a few weeks about this action taken by the president by the republicans in the house. initially there was a notion that it will cover a whole rake of executive orders and actions. now it looks like it's narrowly focused on what he didn't do with obamacare. by the way, republicans voted repeatedly to derail, de-fund, delay every aspect of obamacare. now republicans are suing the president for delaying one part of it. why choose that avenue? >> well, what's most important for i think this has to do with the legal technicalities of it, but what's most important for the house republicans going forward with this lawsuit is to gain standing in a federal court, and they believe that tailoring it to the president's action, not by what he didn't do, about what he did do, about a unilateral amending of an enacted statute. they believe that that is the best way to get standing in a federal court and eventually

pursue this -- this legal case against the president. >> paul, when you do read the law that was passed and signed by the president, the language actually is pretty clear, that the employer mandate was to go into effect in 2014 and the president did delay it. do you think there is legal standing for this lawsuit? >> let me say i am a lawyer, although my law school dean at the university of texas said if you want to hide something from begala, put it in a law book, he'll never find it there so i don't want to speculate as a lawyer. let's let the lawyers hash that out. i do think the president's lawyers may win this on the issue of standing and it may not. it may go forward. the politics of this, which is my field. the house will now schedule a vote. requires a vote of the house to sue the president. the democrats are going to kill them on this. they are going to say -- i'm going to say it right now. john boehner will find the time to cast the votes to sue the president, but he won't call up votes on immigration vote or minimum wage or equal pay for women or college aid or unemployment insurance, all of which i think would pass if

boehner had the courage to bring it up for a straight up or down vote. they are going to get slaughtered on this. i guess maybe he's trying to forestall the tea party but this is a loser for kevthe house. >> it's disappointing that congressional republicans have decided to waste time and taxpayer dollars on a political stunt. as the president said today, he's doing his job, lawsuit or not and it's time that the republicans in congress did theirs. sounds a lot like paul begala, that the democrats might be on the same page. you saw the president more energized about this than i've seen him in a few weeks. are republicans giving him, your old boss speaker john boehner, giving the president an issue he can make some ground up on? >> there's two things about john boehner. he's an institutionalist. he believes very strongly in the congress and its role in the legislative process, and second he's a pretty measured guy, so i don't think john boehner would pursue this, and i don't think

he would agree to pursue this on behalf of the house of representatives unless he believed there was a serious constitutional question here, that there is a serious, you know, mistake for the president to overstep his executive authority and take away some of the legislative authority when it came to implementing and executing and upholding the laws of the united states so, you know, i think that the politics of this, to paul's point, you know, are really great for republicans, but i just think that speaks to the substance of the action that john boehner is taking and that the house of representatives will ultimately take. this is an important question, not about republicans and democrats in this congress, but about future congresses and future presidents and the balance between those two. >> no question there have been people who are men of the house, like speaker john boehner who care deeply about the institution, men and women of the house who care deeply about the institution and will fight for their rights. paul, i want to shift now to the issue of the border crisis and

immigration. there's this 2008 law which creates different rules for people coming over the border from non-contiguous nations. there does seem to be members of both parties now who say there could be agreement on altering that law. why doesn't the president get out in front on this? why doesn't the white house get out and say okay, let's agree on this small change. i'm willing to be first to say this out loud and we'll get in the room and we'll talk. >> well, he has said that. he's inched in and backed out. >> why back out then, why not inch in and stay in? >> a couple of reasons. first, i'm not entirely sure people know exactly what needs to be changed, if anything. this is a really difficult delicate thing. the one law, one of the lessons here, by the way. if i could engrave anything over congress, the one law we can't repeal is the law of unintended consequences. the president has looked at it. there is though this problem that everything he touches the

republicans oppose, right? the immigration bill, they won't call up for a vote was originally conceived by george w. bush, it was a republican bill, so there may be a political reason for him to hang back and let the congress just work this out themselves. he has offered very hesitant tentative support for a change. >> political reasons to hang back may not be a good reason not to fix something that's a crisis by many counts on the border. anyway, we'll see what happens over the next several days if anyone shows a little bit of skin here to make a deal. kevin madden, great to have you with us. paul begala, have a terrific weekend. read those law books. >> a little light reading for them. now to the middle east, the situation there taking an ugly turn this morning. israel coming under fire now from lebanon. this is the first time in the conflict that israel has seen incoming rockets from the north. israeli military responded with an artillery strike. meantime, israel and hamas militants still trading fire along the israel-gaza border. hamas rockets reaching further into israel, and the casualties

mounting. cnn's diana magnay is near the border and we understand president obama spoke on the phone with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and said he's willing to help negotiate a cease-fire. >> reporter: he did, and this is clearly to try to facilitate some kind of exit strategy for benjamin netanyahu before he decides, if he decides, to send in ground troops. we'll see whether that attempt to broker some kind of deal comes to anything. for now we've seen various rockets already this morning come from gaza and go over our heads and being intercepted. there have been various intercepts over tel aviv already. the mayor of that area telling people to stay inside for ten minutes because even if there is an intercept the slab nell can call for another ten minutes afterwards, but, of course, the comparative security provided to people here by this iron dome missile defense shield is a very different story to the reality playing out across the border in gaza.

this morning in southern gaza, an israeli air strike decimates this building. bulldozers and emergency crews rushing in to help the victims at this latest attack on the fourth day of israel's aerial bombardment of gaza. the ongoing barrage killing more than 90 palestinians in recent days. at least 22 children amongst them. israel amassing more troops along the border with gaza. already the defense forces have called up 30,000 reservists. >> 30,000 have actually left their jobs, left their families. >> the spokesman of the defense forces told cnn's wolf blitzer in jerusalem they are getting into position to move in if they have to. >> if it's required, we'll be able to mobilize as soon as possible in a professional manner. >> reporter: in a new video released overnight, hamas' military wing says they are prepared for a very long battle and have more surprise attacks

in store. on thursday president obama spoke over the phone with israel's president benjamin netanyahu aboard air force one. the u.s. offered to help broker a deal while admonishi inin inis against israel. >> 15 seconds, that's how much time you have to run for your life. >> reporter: israel's concerns brought to the attention of the security council by israel's u.n. ambassador. >> imagine having only 15 seconds to find a bomb shelter. >> reporter: while the palestinian representative accused israel of terrorizing the palestinian people, rejecting the claim that it is acting in self-defense. israelis running at the sirens caught on amateur video. >> we need to go under cover. >> reporter: as rockets from gaza shoot into the sky. >> get under, get under, get under. >> reporter: the aftermath a smouldering vehicle but still no casualties on the israeli side.

a very different story from the situation the other side at the gaza-israeli border. israel's prime minister telling his people that this could be a tough complex and complicated campaign. michaela? >> a terrible reality for people living on either side of that. diana magnay, thank you so much for that. 13 minutes past the hour. christine romans joining us on this friday. >> i was going to say good friday morning to you. secretary of state john kerry is in afghanistan meeting with candidates fighting to replace president hamid karzai. he's meeting with abdullah abdullah and ghani who is claiming a lead but abdullah is claiming fraud. final results are expected later this month. still no comment from the white house after germany gives the boot to a top american intelligence official. the move comes after the emergence of two cases of germans allegedly passing intelligence to u.s. contacts.

the situation began to sour last year amid revelations the u.s. eaves dropped on chancellor angela merkel. she says the u.s. has, quote, very different approaches to the role of intelligence agencies. court papers reveal troubling new details about the detroit boy who went missing before being found in his family's basement. 12-year-old charlie buttel said he had to do several exercises and would have to start over if he stopped and he feared for being punished again for not completing the workout. more than 14,000 reminders went out to men in pennsylvania, men born between 1893 and 1897 after a computer error of the selective service which meant to send the notices for men born between 1993 and 1997.

descendants started getting the notices and called the agency about the mistake. the service has since apologized. y2k, i knew it would be a problem. >> a little more meticulous and slower. >> contemplative. >> we'll be that way one day. >> i already am. >> let's get a keep of the weather with indra petersons who is keeping track of the polar vortex. >> everybody can tell how i feel about that. we know there is no polar vortex. let's stop it right here, but let's talk about why everyone is saying that. by the way, polar vortex, it is always there. just means there's cool air once in a while like the wintertime did drop down and it's not even that this time. what we are going to be seeing are some 40s, marquette by about tuesday will be starting off the morning with a little bit of a

bite in the air. let's talk about why it's going on. jet stream, nice and straight. that's when the weather is average, the way it should be. once in a while you get a big storm out there so it kind of looks like a roller coaster. now, we did have a big storm last week. it's a world, right, not just the u.s. the typhoon took the jet stream like a ribbon which brought it down by the line and what we'll looking at at the start of next week with the jet stream dipping down into the upper midwest and bringing colder air from canada, not the polar vortex, bringing temperatures a good 20 or 30 degrees. i see you shaking your head, michaela. highs, 20 degrees below normal, talking about highs in just the 50s, but the farther south you are, of course, you won't be feeling the effects as much. nobody wants that canada air. down in the southeast, scattered showers from the next couple of days. high pressure building in and that cold front doesn't make its way in through next week. >> i went like how you owned it. so not me. right there, everybody.

>> just all deflecting, somehow i'm responsible for the cold air. we do like our cold air in canada. >> we like your water also. >> yes, you do. >> lots of things you like about canada. >> you have to choose the resources. >> choose well, my dear, choose well. >> we'll take a short break. thanks, indra. next up on "new day," more disturbing online behavior by his father has been uncovered by the father whose toddler died in a hot car. we'll tell you now what prosecutors have found. plus, the looming question. could lebron james be returning to cleveland? the north korea -- the nba's biggest free agent is close to making his decision. where he could end up with his decision, maybe.

a really fascinating glimpse of justin ross harris' online behavior at a dramatic court hearing last week and now he's officially lost his job as more internet posts are exposed from the georgia man whose son died in a hot car. comments about abortion, searches about surviving prison, how to handle police and it all

could come back to haunt him in court. victor blackwell reports from atlanta. >> reporter: what are believed to be the words of justin ross harris written one year ago online are now taking on new relevance as harris is charged with killing his son, killing a person in the sense of abortion is selfish and malicious with the intent of satisfying your only person agenda and harris read suspicious topic pages on reddit. >> he visited several sites, and the sub reddits, went to one called child-free and did a search how to survive prison. >> reporter: hundreds of comments spanning three years under the screen name rosco usa, the most recent posted hours before harris' arrest. he offered a reddit user advice on how to avoid arrest in the context of dui. the postmarked three months ago reads refuse to answer any

questions or being detaped. if not, leave. he goes on, everything a police officer does during a possible dui traffic stop means he's trying to build evidence against you. you should do everything in your power to prevent this. there are posts are gratitude. one year ago about a new life in georgia. i am now in my dream job, have a beautiful 6-month-old son and love going to work every day. i couldn't be happier. also, posts about difficulties, like the surprising challenge suggested during harris' probable cause hearing and defense attorney maddox kilgore will certainly reveal it during any trial. >> would you know that ross is completely deaf in his right ear? did you know that? >> i did not know that. >> rosco usa said i had a bottle rocket shot in my ear that caused me to have vertigo, terrible balance and facial paralysis for a long type. thankfully after two surgeries i have no outward issues. i'm just deaf in my right ear.

potential evidence that investigators are scouring to better understand this father charged with killing his only child. victor blackwell, cnn, atlanta. >> our thanks to victor for that report. for more on the new details we want to bring in our senior legal analyst and criminal defense attorney. good morning, good to see you on this friday. want to talk about some of these internet postings that have just been made public to us. could the comments that he made in these online posts, it would appear to be harris, could they help his defense in any way? what's standing out to you in all that's being made of this? >> yes. first of all, as long as they are authenticated they can come in potentially as evidence, and there is evidence here that is not only bad for harris but also good for harris. you hear some positive things, and you better believe the prosecution will likely move to keep out the positive character-type evidence, but we have to ask ourselves what is the total picture that's

emerging? we're entering into a new phase of high-profile cases where not only do we have internet searches which seem to reveal everything about our meandering curiosity but in high-profile cases increasingly the norm is introduced evidence of the defendant, a male defendant's propensity to i guess have a wandering eye or be a philanderer or a cad. the prosecution will say that's evidence and state of mind that he wanted to be free of a wife and free of a child. >> but it doesn't prove a motive. >> the prosecution will argue it does, and at the preliminary hearing that was the grounds for bringing in that evidence. it was about -- he was sexting the day his child died in the car. the prosecution's argument was that goes to his state of mind on the day of. however, the defense argued, and i think compellingly, that as you get anywhere more than a few days or a few weeks beyond what the date of the sexting was, that doesn't really go to state of mind. rather it's improper character evidence, evidence that may be interesting to a jury, but

because it's just so prejudicial it really should not be admitted. >> want to talk to you also about his wife. we know that she has been to visit her husband, leanna harris has been to visit him at the courthouse. she's obtained legal counsel. do you expect she will be charged with something, and if so what kind of charges could she be faceing? >> well, we go back to the preliminary hearing, a bit unusual. a defendant charged with a negligence crime being hit with all this intentional malice-type evidence and you saw that the wife sitting in the stands was hit with a lot of that shrapnel so at the time it appeared that the investigation was focusing on her. however, in the time since, since they have been able to search computer files, there really hasn't been more other than wife's statements to her husband at the police station, did you tell them too much, her admittedly odd internet searches and her exclamation at work

that, oh, justin must have left him in the car, so beyond that, unless they are uncovering more, i think they may have trouble coming up with a malice murder charge. however, if they are gathering more evidence and, remember, computer forensics take time. if justin ross harris is as proficient as he's supposed to be, he may have hidden files in unallocated space. >> good point. >> in slack space. that may be taking time a little longer for police to search or perform their forensics, or, on the other hand, it just may be taking a long time because there's a lot to sift through. so far the shrapnel that the wife has been hit with doesn't seem to rise to the level of malice murder. nonetheless, probably the safe move, hiring a criminal defense attorney. >> final thought here quickly, we know she's been to the prison. obviously they communicated there. those communications would be record. if you're her attorney, what do you tell her about that, and also could she be forced to testify against her husband in georgia? >> well, first, any time you go

to a prison all your conversations are recorded and i happen it know district attorneys who mine these conversations and often get really, really good evidence, but when it goes to the spousal privilege in georgia, a spouse cannot exercise that privilege when the issue is the death of a child, so there is some spousal privilege. georgia just changed its law at beginning of the year, and it's -- the bottom line, the bottom takeaway is that the spouse does not have that privilege against testifying against her husband when it's the case that a child has been -- has been killed. >> danny, appreciate your insight on this friday. thanks for joining us so early in the morning. john? >> thanks, michaela. next up on "new day," decision 2.0. fans anxiously awaiting where lebron james could play next season. could it be cleveland? plus, surprising testimony from shelly sterling. she says her husband approve of

welcome back to "new day," everybody. the donald sterling saga is being put on hold for a week. court is being put on hold july july 21st. shelly sterling took the stand again thursday to defend the negotiations as the clock ticks on former microsoft ceo's steve ballmer's $2 billion offer. let's talk about this trial. joey jackson joins us from the cnn center in atlanta this morning and is an hln analyst as also a fine, fine man and well-dressed. >> not as fine a man as you, john. how are you doing? >> you already speak the truth this morning. >> this is a weird trial, very

strange to me on many, many levels, and will the me just ask you a few questions about what i have found very odd about it. shelly sterling was on the stand. at issue are these medical examinations that she had ordered up for donald sterling to determine his mental competency. well, now she says that she did this not for the purposes of having him removed from the trust. does that seem likely to you? >> it's interesting because the manner in which you ask the question, john, seems somewhat skeptical so it's always a question of credibility and it depends on what side you line up. remember, in the event you're shelly's attorneys you'll say that that's exactly the case. i'm concerned about my husband and about his well-being. he was on board all long for this sale. in fact, he helped and participated in that process. i told him who the bidders were. when i finally got a bid for 1.9 billion we got it to 2 billion and guess what, he was happy and ecstatic and loved it, and all

of a sudden the next day he flipped a script and this is part of the way he's been behaving-for-years so i was so concerned about his well-being and had to get him evaluated and he has a form of dementia, and that's the argument. >> that alleged concern is also strange, joey, because we keep using the word estranged. they are estranged, we think and nevertheless donald sterling calls his wife pig in a public courtroom yesterday. that's a little bit strange. shelly sterling though hugs donald sterling's lawyer yesterday. that's a little bit strange, despite the fact he was putting her under tough questioning. how does this all play in front of a judge? what is a i go to think about this? >> you know what, there's a lot of money at stakance and beyond that there are reputations at stake. the sponsorships and nba players. this is a huge deal, but at the end of the day, of course, we have a judge, and a judge is seasoned at these matters. a judge, i think, will make a

determination, john, on the merits of the case. did she act, shelly sterling, properly in moving forward to remove him from the family trust? is itting is that she had to take owing to his mental condition, or was this, as of course donald sterling's lawyers allege, was this fraud? it was misrepresentation, all a ruse to get me out of here. had no authority to do this, and i want it redone so can i take control, donald sterling, and sell the tell myself. it depends how you line up. i believe the judge can make a determination on the merits and the sideshow, interesting to talk about, but to a judge it's just a sideshow. >> you talk about the sideshow and the circus, the only thick that can make it more so, barbara walters has now become an issue in this case because shelly sterling testified yesterday that barbara walters, who was going to interview donald sterling, decided not to because barbara ratters doubted his mental competency, thought he was in the early stages of dementia. does this mean that barbara

walters could be subpoenaed now? >> well, for all intents and purposes i think the hearing is closed. they are going to closing arguments, and believe it or not it will come to a conclusion. i know it's been adjourned by virtue of the attorneys having vacation schedules and other plans, but i think the hearing is closed, but i think though, john, it raises the element, hey, look, credibility. if barbara walters certainly beloved that there was something amis, something wrong with the mental capacity of donald sterling, certainly that adds value to shelly sterling having acted properly, and in accordance with all the protocols for the family trust. i'm a wife. i had nothing, you know, but love for my husband, but i had to take this action, because you know what? mentally he appeared to me to be amie. i got him examined. the doctors did the best they can. this is what they concluded. what am i to do, i went ahead with the sale that were, by the way, his wishes, your honor. >> and at the end of the day the richer people are going to get richer. >> great to have you with us.

appreciate it. >> thanks, have a great day. >> michaela? >> next up on "new day," what's next for bowe bergdahl? will he serve with the army again? we'll speak with a friend of bergdahl family and a former hostage who can certainly relate to what this soldier is going through.

good to have you back with

us on "new day." sergeant bowe bergdahl is nearly finished with his reintegration process after being held for five years. reaction is mixed over this photo, bergdahl with a member of the haqqani network. anything we can learn from this image? we're joined by a friend of bergdahl family and former marine captain who himself was held for five years. matthew, i actually want to start with something that is new to us today. the "wall street journal" is reporting that top u.s. military leaders, we're talking the joint chiefs of staff and its chairman unanimously supported the decision to free bowe bergdahl in exchange for these detainees, going on to say in this "wall street journal" that they didn't consider these five game-changers. you think this is going to quite the critics out there at all that are calling him a traitor? >> well, good morning, michaela,

thank you for having me on this morning. i think it's another piece to this that will continue to cause people to say, hey, let's take a moment here and let's think about when happened, let's look at the evidence and that's what a lot of us have been saying for this last month, month and a half isn't sergeant bergdahl has been released. there is no evidence that he deserted. the army conducted an investigation in 2009 that found that he did not desert. he left his post but we're unsure why. there's evidence he left the post before, so i think what we're seeing here as more information comes out and people become aware of the circumstances they are leaving behind that initial rush to judgment. i think also, too, athe love times in these situations most of these attacks on sergeant bergdahl and on his family were politically motivated, and this -- this quote, unquote scandal is now old and the

people who launched these partisan attacks have moved on to something else which i'm very grateful for for being a friend of the family. >> you have some perspective being a friend of the family and i want to show this photo again. keith, i think you probably view it a little differently than most having been held in captivity for five years. when you see this photo, what is it that you see as a former captive? >> first off, michaela, good morning. as a former captive i would say this. i was five and a half years in the jungle with a fathe farc. do you think you can stand there to a tree, because he's standing there with a smile on his face does that make him a traitor? people jump on this and get lost in the minutia. i look at a young sergeant held for five years. are you asking him to never smile? you can read a lot into anything depending on which viewpoint you come, from but just like mathew

said earlier people love to take turns throwing rocks with a lot of conjecture and little fact. really does nothing for me. there's many times you could have seen me with a farc, maybe i had a smile on my faith. i didn't do i in the jungle. it was a tragedy. i read nothing into that. >> to be fair, we don't know what was going on, if you zoomed out of photo, what was happening in front of him, outside of him, outside the view of the camera. >> absolutely. no one of our proofs of life we did in the jungle, i looked fairly healthy with my arms crossed and it looked like i was in a serene place but just outside of the photo were three guys with ak-47s and one hanging with five meters of chain to put it around my neck when it was done so when you unchained me you might have caught me smiling, excuse me. it's sad what people are jumping on now. >> mathiew, i'm concerned whethr there would be more criticism launched at him because of this

photo. >> no. i think they -- they follow that most people who are logical and reasonable will understand it just as keith explained, that this is nothing more than a propaganda photo, may have been made under duress. keith pointed out he was held prisoner for five years. there are going to be moments when the only person you have to depend upon are your captors, that you're going to smile, that you're going to [ laughter ] i mean, that's just the way life works, so i -- i don't think those of us who are friends of the family or those of us who are compassionate towards the family are very concerned by this photo at all. >> keith, let's talk about this reintegration process. we understand that it's moving along fairly rapidly. we also know that he's starting to make trips back out into society, into the world, all of this standing your experience. does it speak to how the process works? >> this time line seems pretty

good. seems like it's working very well. you know, there are baby steps, one time on a sunday afternoon we were kind of snuck out of army south and taken to a restaurant that was closed just to get us out in public. i liken it to teaching, you know, a baby starts to crawl and then they walk and then they run. the reintegration it's that same format, and when he's finished and out he's just walking, he's not running. has a lot ahead of him >> you make a very good point about that walking and running and will come back out into this world where there could be remnants of this criticism that we've been talking to matthew about, how do you prepare somebody for that, and do you think he's getting prepared for that inside the reintegration process? >> you know, i would imagine he's getting reaped for it. you know, the first night back, the three of us were together in a hospital room and there was a television set on and the volume wasn't up, to be introduced back to that a little bit but not to hear what's going on. everything is done in a very controlled manner. i'm sure he knows about the positives and the negatives and

that criticism and that's something he'll have to face when he gets out but that's all part of the process grand what i know he's doing very well. >> want to control that sensory overload. can happen to me even if i go to vegas, i can't imagine a man who has gone through what he's gone through has to face. so to that point, how is the family holding up? have you had a chance to talk with them? have you heard if they have spoken with their son? >> they are doing well. you know, as i said earlier, michaela, a lot of negativity has come back a bit, and they have had more expressions of compassion and more expression of support from strangers, from members of the public, from military officers, both current and retired, and i think a lot of this has been since the pentagon released the army investigation that was done in 2009 to congress, i've noticed a lot of the attacks that are political coming from washington, d.c. have receded so i think, again, as people start

to learn the stories, people start to realize this is much more complicated than they were first led to believe, they are becoming more compassionate and more understanding to their family, but they are doing well, doing as well as you could expect. they are very hopeful to be reunited with bo again, but they are devoted to their son just as any mother and father would be. >> as they should sfwlb they are happy to be patient and take their time because as keith was explaining this is a very complicated and extraordinary process that bo is going through right now, and so they want him to come through it in the best manner possible. >> matthew h ho h and keith stancil, really a delight to help you. complex situation requires a whole lost understanding and patience. appreciate you joining us. certainly a lot of news that are you following this morning. let get to it. >> further from the border he's closer to the heart of the political firestorm. >> he's been president for five and a half years. when is he going to take

responsibility for something. >> if you're mad at me for helping people on my own, let's team up. >> 15 seconds. that's how much time you have to run for your life. >> certainly the peace process has been a failure. >> allegations of abuse suffered by 12-year-old charlie bothuell. are you saying the allegations are untrue. >> you never hurt charlie? >> no. >> good morning. welcome to friday and welcome to "new day." john berman is here and also christine romans here handling the headlines. nice to have the team with me here this morning new this morning, house speaker john boehner ready to battle it out with the president. gathering up to hit the commander in chief with a lawsuit saying that president obama violated the law what he made changes to his health care law. on top of that boehner is blaming the president for the border crisis. president obama though not taking it sitting down. he is snapping back, claiming republican leaders need to step up with solutions, not

complaints. jim acosta has more from the white house. kind of ramping up into a whole new level of back and forth, isn't, it jim? >> reporter: absolutely. just when you thought you've seen everything here in washington, that's right. the white house reaction to house speaker john boehner's lawsuit was swift and harsh with press secretary josh earnest calling it a political stunt. a new day in washington when dysfunction here is headed to the courthouse. it's a constitutional collision between both ends of pennsylvania avenue. >> this isn't about me suing the president. what we're talking about here are places where the president is basically rewriting law to make it fit his own needs. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner made official what he's threatened for weeks, that he's filing a lawsuit against the president saying mr. obama eveningstive actions to change the health care law and other federal programs are evidence of a white house that's out of control. >> really?

really? for what? you're going to sue me -- for doing my job? >> reporter: just hours before house republicans revealed their lawsuit bill, the president was sharpening up his defence in texas. >> i've got a better idea. do something. if you're mad at me for helping people on my own, let's team up. let's pass some bills. >> reporter: brewing courtroom battle comes as the president and bain remember already sparring over the white house plan for the border crisis, a problem mr. obama said could be solved with immigration reform. >> ronald reagan passed immigration reform, and you love ronald reagan. let's go ahead and do it. >> this is a problem of the president's own making. he's been president for five and a half years. when is he going to take responsibility for something? >> reporter: even the first lady jumped into the fray speaking to a latino group in new york.

>> make no mistake about it. we have to keep on fighting as hard as we can on immigration. >> reporter: it was a rare entry into partisan politics for michelle obama as a growing number of fellow democrats complained the president has mismanaged the migrant crisis. >> this problem has been going on for a long type, and now it's been exaggerated by this humanitarian crisis that we have with thousands of children coming into texas and into my state into arizona. >> reporter: now as for john boehner's lawsuit, the speaker said expect more details in the coming days, but he said much of this case will center on the president's decision to delay the employer mandate in obamacare without going through congress. the speaker's office says that is when the president really overstepped his grounds and they believe it is the best chance they have for this court case to succeed, but who needs broadway, guys, when you have pennsylvania avenue. >> right. jim acosta at the white house, jim talking about the crisis on the border. the president no doubt with his eye on another crisis as well, the crisis in the middle east, and that crisis expanded

overnight. cnn has learned that a rocket was fired into northern israel in lebanon. now, that is the first time it has happened in this latest round of the conflict. israel's army responded with an artillery strike. the death toll is rising from israel's air strikes on gaza. president obama called the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to offer to broker a crease fire. that does not appear imminent as we sit here today. let's get to wolf blirts, our very own anchor on the ground near the border between israel and gaza. wolf, it's great to have you with us on "new day." you've been in that region 24 hours, not even more, and already truly caught in the middle of this conflict. >> well, you know, we're right here. gaza is maybe two miles behind us, and you can see that there -- i don't know if you can still see it but there was smoke in the israeli air strike that five minutes ago took place, and

a huge plume of smoke came up, but coming to this whole area near gaza, it's pretty tumultuous. earlier, for example, there was a direct hamas rocket attack, and it hit a gas station which is not far away from where i am right now. we've got zott some video i want to show you. at least 11 videos totally destroyed, a gas truck totally destroyed. the whole gas station was destroyed. one israeli who was handicapped stuck in a car wanting to go by some gas couldn't get out. pretty severely injured, but it was a pretty awful scene as i walked around there and saw what was going o.it underscores the whole nature of the problem on this side of the border, and as we know there's a lot of tension and a lot of grief going on on the gaza side of the border as well. this is a bad situation and i suspect, john, it's only going to get worse as these kind of rocket and missile attacks come into israel, the pressure is on the israeli government and prime minister benjamin netanyahu to respond. they haven't responded yet on

the ground. they haven't moved into gaza but a lot of folks here suspect that that could happen literally any day now. >> worse in some respects. it did get worse overnight with a rocket coming into israel from lebanon. you know. we saw israel caught in a two-front war back in 2006. you know, three or four rounds ago in this conflict depending on how you count. what is the concern right now in israel as far as that goes? >> reporter: if there's a two-front type of operation, rockets coming in from let's say hezbollah in the north and lebanon and hamas and gaza in the south, the israelis are going to respond. you know, they are going to even respond more vociferously, more viciously than they have been responding so far in gaza, and as we know the casualties in gaza, given that concentrated population in gaza. it's a relatively small area. at least 1.5 million palestinians stuck there, and so much of the hamas operation with civilians, it's going to

intensify unless there can be some cease-fire, and i don't see any real moves towards a cease-fire. >> let me just take you a little bit, john. i was driving, after we left that gas station, we were driving on a major street, major highway in ashdud, not far from the board we are gaza and all of a sudden we heard the sirens and you know what they do. cars immediately stop right in the middle of the street. everyone gets out of their cars, the doors are open and they run towards the closest bunker, the air raid shelters which are all over the place, especially this close to gaza. you run in and get inside a bunker. you wait at least five minutes, maybe ten minutes for an all clear and then you go back to your vehicle, the doors are wide open and everybody gets back in and they leave. it's a pretty tense situation, i must say, especially the closer you get to gaza in this area where i am right now is very, very close. >> want to pause, wolf, for just one seconds so we can hear the sirens.

all right. that is the sound that is heard all over israel these days as the rockets from hamas come in. if you go inside gaza the sound you hear all day are the sound of israeli warplanes flying overhead, buildings being targeted and crumbling in some cases. we've been through this cycle before, wolf, and one of the reasons it's so good to have you on the ground before is you've seen this cycle so many times before. what's different this time? is it the presence of the iron dome in israel, and what might get it to that phase where both sides talk about a cease-fire? >> reporter: well, that iron dome system has worked very well in protecting the populated centers, further north it tel

aviv and jerusalem as some of the rockets have hit beyond tel aviv. hamas has some pretty good long range missiles that they have collected in recent years, but i guess what's different this time is the ability to achieve a cease-fire seems so so remote. when i was here at the end of 2012, the egyptians, then government of president mohamed morsi was involved, good relations with the hamas and with the support of the united states they broke yesterday a cease-fire ending that conflict. right now the new government in egypt they have a terrible relationship with hamas. turkey's been asked to get involved. they don't have such a great relationship, saudi arabia, qatar, and yesterday as you pointed out the president spoke with president netanyahu. the president would like to speak to some cease-fire but the u.s. doesn't speak to hamas because they regard hamas as a terrorist organization. it looks really grim right now. let me show you one other thing, job. i want you to look up. i'll have scotty, our

photographer, zoom up. you can see some hot air balloons right behind me. if you go along the border between israel and gaza, the israelis have these hot air balloons all over the place with sophisticated cameras and other electronic equipment. once a rocket goes off in gaza that's immediately detected. they send that information to military headquarters. they then send out the sirens and get a sense of where those rockets or missiles might be heading. they alert the iron dome, the anti-missile defense system on what's going on so the israelis have some pretty high-tech technology to deal with it but none of it, as i saw, at the gas station is foolproof because that rocket came right into the gas station and exploded the gas truck. it could have been a whole lot worse, but the destruction was pretty intense. not only destruction on this side of the border, what's going on in gaza, i suspect 100 people, many of them civilians and innocent civilians as they have been killed as far as the israeli air strikes and trying

to go after military targets but those military targets are so often intertwined with heavy populated sullivan areas. going to be what the military folks call collateral damage and over the past few days there's been extensive civilian carpaltition tice right behind me in gaza as well. >> what an incredible important view. rockets landing not far from where you're standing. just behind you, rockets and bombings falling on gaza and behind you we see the technology being deployed that's changed in this entire conflict. thanks so much for coming and joining us on "new day" and usual joining us later on for your show and also in "the situation room." thanks so much, wolf. let's go to christine now for some of the day's top stories. no charges will be charged in the shooting of a driver near the capital last year. 34-year-old miriam kerry was shot five times after this wild high speed chase that began near the white house. the justice department says there was not enough evidence to

pursue charges of excessive force. kerry's family has filed a $75 million wrongful death suit. we're learning more about the suspect in the houston-area shooting that left six people dead, including four kids. look at that family. prosecutors say 33-year-old ronald lee haskell tied up his victims and shot each one in the head. investigators say the gunman was looking for his ex-wife. his ex-wife was part -- the victims were part of his family. haskell and his ex-wife had a long history of domestic abuse. she filed a protective order against him last year. the oldest daughter survived the attack and called police. a key obamacare ruling could come down today. the d.c. court of appeals is deciding whether tax credits and subsidies can be legally used to purchase health insurance through federal exchanges. a lawsuit suggests the law only allows the credits to be used on state-run exchanges. 36 states use the federal system. a decision against the government could strike a huge blow to this law. the tech community stunned when it was reported a google

him with the heroin. >> she was so callous that in gathering her things she was literally stepping over the body. >> reporter: tichelman is charged with felony manslaughter in the case involving the google executive. bail has been set at $1.5 million. her next court appearance is scheduled for july 16. dan simon, cnn, san francisco. >> what a story. an unpress denned discovery from the hubble telescope, an intergalactic string of pearls. take a look at this snapshot. the formation was creed after two elliptical galaxies emerged creating a string of infant stars stretching for 100,000 light years. >> wow. >> don't go rushing for you your telescope just yet. unclear where the star formation came from. >> cool though? >> really nifty looking. >> technically i think it's very hot, but whatever. >> details, details. >> thanks, christine. next up on "new day," the issue has gripped the nation, a toddler left to die alone for hours in a hot car allegedly in

with us, cnn's digital correspondent and editor at large covering family, career and life and wrote this op-ed for cnn.com saying should the government step in to prevent hot car deaths, required reading if you're interested in this story. great to see are you? great to see you. >> such a terrible story. >> yes. >> let's talk first about the technology in cars. now have technology in cars to prevent backup deaths of children an elderly people. reminds me if i'm sitting in the passenger seat and i take my seat belt off, it knows i'm there. why can't we protect kids who are left in these cars. >> that's really what we were all thinking about because there's technology there. the federal government says they look at the technology that currently exists, basically sensors that might be under the child's -- under the child's car seat so it could detect the weight of the infant when you leave the car. the government says right now that the technology is not reliable yet and that they are continuing to evaluate the technology. you talk to safety advocates who say no way. the technology is there. we should be doing something.

why is it more important, to you know, makeshire that you turn off your lights versus making sure you get your baby out of the back seat >> it's a baby. shouldn't we all be programmed to know that our babies are in the back seat. what are parents saying about this? >> the response online, as can you imagine, has been pretty explosive. a chunk of people who say oh, my god, let's do whatever we can to make sure this never happens again, but you have a huge chunk of the audience out there who says it is your baby. what is your problem? how on earth could you forget your baby? i think, michaela, a lot of people feel that way. i don't agree with that, but they feel that way >> the thing that is so crazy, and i'm talking to three parents right here, you know there's moments that are frazzled, a lot of things going on. we live in a much more distracted world, gadgets and things and pieces and parts. there's got to be a way though that we can do a better job of this. thinking about that technology that was implemented for the backup cam, but that took

forever to implement. >> took a long time to get that. >> could it be something, for example, that was built in the car seats? >> you know, that's another -- the companies themselves could do it and offer them. >> you know, have you parents who say, right, if it's in the car seats the parent can decide, it's voluntary and they can decide what kind of car seat to help them. look, i say let the children figure it out. there's an 11-year-old boy who has figured out this rubber band attached on the back seat to the front seed and when you get out you can't get -- >> i'm sure people are saying i don't want the government to tell me what's going on in my car and raise the kid. of course they say buckle the seat belt and people have stopped complaining about that. i wonder at this point if this case in georgia is getting in a way of a reasoned discussion about it. >> right. >> because i think can you lock at this case and say, gosh, i understand how you might leave your car in the car for a little bit, but seven hours, the way it happened there, that's where it seemed unlikely. >> such a good point. i talked to one of the leading advocates on this issue, the

founder of carsincars.org and i asked do you think this case is helping to raise awareness? >> we're having the conversation which is great, burks on the other hand, is this going to give more fuel to the fire, the naysayers, saying it's the patient's responsibility no matter what and if a parent is focused on keeping their children safe this would not happen. >> this case is so bizarre. not like any other case i heard of a child being left in a seat. you know, i've never heard of a case like this where as police say the father was distracted immediately with very, you know, alternative personality, completely taking over. this was a dad who police would suggest was not paying attention at all to his child. >> yeah, exactly. >> this is totally something different. i mean, that safety organization i mentioned, in all her years she's never heard of a case where someone intentionally left a child in the car to kill them, although it's aron important point. 20% of the fatalities are when people intentionally left the

child in, not to murder the child, i'm going to run into walmart or the store, the temperature rises so quickly. >> any technology you add in a car is not going to prevent. that if you're leaving your kid in the car because you're running into the store. >> or leaving them there by accident. >> 20% of the cases when parents intentionally leave the kid, 30%, this is important, when the kid gets in the car and locks himself or herself in, fun to play in the car, another important advice, lock up your keys or put them high up where they can't reach them. >> this is a story in georgia that's getting worse. i didn't know those two stats. really important. kelly, thank you. >> read more of kelly's op-ed on cnn.com. really good read for parents out there to get you thinking out about some things. >> next up on "news day," found barricaded in his family's basement and find out why the 12-year-old boy says he was locked up.

dear. let's get to a man who knows no fear. john king goes inside politics on "new day."" >> there is a photo of me with a boa wrapped around my neck and chest. >> not a boa constrict a.r.-you're talking about a feather boa. >> no, it was actually a snake. good morning, everybody, and tgif edition of "inside politics." with me is jackie kunz nick and olivier knox of yahoo! news. let's take a look at this relationship between the speaker of the house john boehner and the president of the united states. john boehner was being asked about the current crisis at border and a whole lost other issues between john boehner and the democratic president. john boehner sounds a tad exasperated. >> this is a problem of the president's own making. he's been president for five and a half years. when is he going to take responsibility for something? >> continuing my theory you

explain washington by saying life is the fifth grade. that's john boehner and here's the president firing back. >> sue him, impeach him. really? really? for what? you're going to sue me for doing my job? okay. i mirngs think about that. you're going to use taxpayer money to sue me for doing my job. while you don't do your job. sometimes i feel like saying to these guys i'm guy doing my job. you must be the other guy. >> been punchy and funny in recent days in the back and form. let start with the immediate border crisis. they are talking past each other and it does appear after the

republicans said no way to the president's request for nearly $4 billion, there are at least some conversations about giving the president some of that money as long as the republicans get what they want which is more border enforcement and a process that more quickly turns these children and others at the border away. will that be a deal or will they just talk about it? >> as far as the border money is concerned i'm skeptical that this gets past the republican house. the senate has been willing to work with the president when it comes to immigration reform, but as we've seen with other things, you have these other provisions but it seems like when it comes to imgracious, then republicans always want more and then there's -- and then democrats aren't happy with what the republicans want and you might have a problem in the house and might not get that through. >> can they work that out because the president said i want comprehensive border, immigration reform. he's not saying that. he's saying give me more border patrol. the president wants the national

guard, i don't think that's a good idea but i'm open to that. the president agrees with the republicans that most these kids have to go back. >> the question is whether this is a magic moment in which they will take yes for an area or if it reflects the broader question about comprehensive reform where the house changing its mind seemingly every month. we'll do our version of it. maybe we will. objection it's dead. it's back. the real question is this debate going to be any different? and i share jackie's general outlook that i'll believe it when i see it. >> lindsey graham on the senate said thinks this is an opportunity for immigration reform and i think he may have been with the president sampling the baked goods. sheldon adelson, bill gates and warren buffett, three voices, they write an op-ed in which they say our politics are very different, some disagreements on immigration and if you put us three in the room we could write

an immigration bill. they there should be a guest worker program for agriculture. washington won't listen to them, three corporate business giants saying if you can figure this out, why can't you guys? that's what you got elected to do? >> washington will listen to them, the establishment republicans will listen to them because they agree with them. the base of the republican party that still does not -- still doesn't agree with the chamber of commerce republican and that's what you're seeing here. obviously they are not all republicans but it's the same point of view. >> the white house was very happy to see that op-ed. dan pfeiffer put it on twitter and said, look, you even lost sheldon adelson. >> i don't think we'll get that done this year or next and they won't even consider it until obama leaves the white house, 20 or 30 minutes from nonths from . john boehner said he will sue the president in court and some conservatives are scratching their head about this. the house republicans are going to sue the president because they believe, and some constitutional scholars actually agree with them, that after

obamacare was passed the president used administrative powers to change things and to delay the employer mandate, for example, and to change some other things, and the house republicans are going to say, jackie, saying he overstepped his bounds. again, there are some conservative and other constitutional scholars who say they might have a case but conservatives are scratching their head, wait a minute, we're going to sue him because he delayed the employer mandate and if they win, they have to more quickly implement obamacare. i thought conservatives wanted to appeal obamacare. >> the fact of the matter is this won't even -- let's say this lawsuit is actually successful. this won't even affect obama. this would be going through so many levels of the court, it wouldn't even affect hip. it's highly unlikely this goes anywhere and there's also -- the immigration piece that they have been complaining about wasn't in there either. >> right. you're talking about fifth grade. these two leaders sometimes sound really co-dependant and that clip proved it. both ramping up their rhetoric and very happy to play off each other and for john boehner the

lawsuit is a necessary steam valve at a time when the republicans are pounding the impeachment donald trump, that obama is a tyrant, a very important lawsuit for john boehner. >> we'll watch the lawsuit and over the next 118, 117 days until the election to see how much obamacare is part of the republican strategy. you were thinking it was plan one and plan two and plan three. i see that because there's a new commonwealth group study that puts out the fact that obamacare is succeeding in reducing the rate of uninsured so progress there, if you think more people should have health insurance. 9.5 million people who did not have coverage before have coverage and it says this, this will be i think the point of political dispute. it says that 74% of fully insured republicans, meaning republicans who have new insurance because of the president's health care law are happy. i guess john boehner is not one of them. >> i think what they are going to start talking about honestly is how much it costs because we don't know how much all of these people coming into the system

are going to cost yet. these could be some of the biggest people and that's always been the contention, there's not enough well people to balance that out. >> that's the republican argument sometime in the fall we get the new premiums. >> just before the election and everybody talks about the botched roll youth obamacare website last year. republicans were worried and the white house was excited about the idea that the debate was going to change from a fundamental distribution of government health care into a fight over benefit and as it becomes into a fight over a benefit the republican position gets more difficult. >> and it's harder to take it away. >> this book sale note has to rub the clintons in a not so good which had. hillary clinton's "hard choices" now being replaced on the book by edward klein, unauthorized biography. i think the clintons want it on the fiction list, not the

nonfiction list and whether you believe a word in that book, and there's been past books by mr. klein that made some things up. must not be happy. >> beach reads tend to sell better. >> tabloids over -- >> "hard choices" for all of its merits is not a really gripping book, you know. this is a beach read. it is more fun, but us a pointed out clintons would definitely like to see it sheffield with the fiction books. >> i'm not going to ask you about your summertime beach reading. i'm just, you know -- >> guilty pleasures over here. >> send me a list. i've got a long weekend coming up next week so send me a list. >> excited as always to see you, john king. thanks very much. >> good to have you with us. next up on "new day," he was missing for more than a week

court papers are revealing shocking, shocking abuse allegations made by this detroit boy who went missing before being found in his own family's basement. it is 12-year-old charlie bothuell who said he was forced to do grueling workouts twice a day, just the latest in a string of revelations since this case began last month. this morning allegations of abuse suffered by 12-year-old charlie bott bothuell after his discovery in his father's basement eleven days after disappearing. >> we have not done anything wrong to my son. >> according to court papers filed he was forced to get up by his father at 5:00 a.m. and complete 100 push-ups, 200 sit-ups and 25 arm curls and 5,000 revolutions on the elliptical trainer twice a day seven days a week. he would have to complete the grueling routine in under an

hour and sometimes charlie said he couldn't finish because he was in too much paper, pain allegedly caused by his father hitting him with a pvc pipe on his feet. police found charlie in his own basement two weeks ago crouched down and barricaded behind a sack of boxes with a 55-gallon barrel. the 12-year-old seemed excited to see police who say he was hungry. >> out to the father of the -- >> hln's nancy grace broke the news to his father that his son was found live on air. >> we are getting reports that your son has been found alive in your basement. >> what? >> charlie's father says the basement was checked repeatedly. >> the fbi searched, the detroit police searched. we've all searched. god, they brought dogs. >> the boy told investigators his stepmother sent him to the basement on june 14th after accusing him of lying about whether he had finished his workout. he says she stacked boxes in front of him to conceal his

presence and called his father and said the boy was missing. according to the petitions he survived off food he salvaged by sneaking upstairs when his father and mother were out of the home. >> this case is still under investigation and the prosecutor's office will decide whether criminal charges will be filed and had no public statements. cnn had not been able to reach the attorney for the father. as a pediatrician, thanks so much for joining us. you see all sorts of kids coming into your practice and see all sorts of things they are living through, illness and also things that they have had to endure. pretty shocking when we hear about the case of charlie bothuell found shivering and hungry, felt like he didn't have a choice to get out of that basement. give us an idea of the long-standing effects this can have on a child, both physically, emotionally and mentally of being in a situation

like that. >> the repair from the details of this case, it sounds as if it could be quite prolonged. depends upon the social support he'll have, the psychological and psychiatric help that he'll have. initially, of course, you want to make sure they are medical stable. issues of dehydration and whether or not they need replacement of fluids. electrolytes. >> the immediate concerns. >> the immediate concerns, sure, and then there's also the physical concerns long-standing, if you're having repetitive exercise at such young age, these small bodies really aren't equipped to handle weightlifting, to handle the kind of excessive exercise that's described here. >> and we don't know how long that had been going on for if these allegations are true. >> it really could affect the muscles, the bones. at this age now they can have more injuries with their ligaments, the cartilage, the tendons and if you keep exercising on top of injury you can have long-term effects from that because the muscle hasn't been able to be repaired. >> we know how hard it is for children. they are taught to trust adults, and when you have a care giver

accused of keeping a child essentially in his own house and being forced to endure these things that he's alleging, how -- how is it that it works in a child's mind that he doesn't or she doesn't feel that he can ask for help from an outside person? >> well, they do trust and there's also that degree of fear and may also be isolation that could be associated with this. clearly isolated for 11 days but hard to know what precede it had, but there's the ultimate trust for people that are supposed to lock out for us and care for us and children are vulnerable. >> how do you -- when you're working with children, i'm sure you work with teams of other medical professionals in a situation like this. you have to get them to trust grown-ups and grown-ups have failed them, at least in a situation like this, it would appear. >> the process will be long. there has been evidence there could be anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, educational difficulties going down, and

they may be at greater risk for some other social problems, perhaps difficulties with relationships. >> and then real quick, the parents, i think, it's hard for people to imagine that somebody would abuse their own child. other signs to be on the lookout for in your estimation? >> in this particular case. certainly we want to make sure that there haven't been any long-standing medical issues and then moving forward just being able to go through the process of repair along with them. >> thanks for joining us, dr. thebner, appreciate it. a tough story, john. as a parent and family member you want to take care of the little ones and it looks like the system failed this guy. >> never like to see anything like that happen to kids. >> coming up on "news day," go pro cameras used to capture all sorts of adventures, this one, wow, takes the cake. a proud father captures a proud moment. the video you have got to see to believe.

he's perfect. he's perfect. >> troy used a little discretion censoring some of the video. he recorded the birth of his two other sons and huge fan of the gopro. >> i never dreamed the whole nation would be watching that. >> medical staff arrived in time to mop up. >> you did it! that's awesome! >> i love you. oh, baby. >> you did it! >> troy really did earn the retired obstetrician hat someone gave him. as for the parking valet who tried to get kristin to sit. what do you tip someone for watching your wife give birth? >> 20 bucks. >> i don't think that really compensated him for the trauma he had to go through. >> reporter: meet truitt dickers dickerson. that kid should have to watch this video every mother's day to be reminded what have his mom went through for him. >> it's great natural birth control for a teen ager. we'll show it to him when he's 16. >> reporter: jeanne moos, cnn. >> got it on video.

>> reporter: new york. >> i don't know what to make of all of this, because clearly i'm either unfeel only an auntie ten times over and don't have one of my own children or something else because you should have seen the way both parents of multiple children reacted during that piece. this is john and christine you're not better. you turned eight shades of red. did it bring you back? >> i've been to one of these things in person before. i've been to one of these things in person before, i mean, he said he censored the video. i wonder if he is censored the t where his wife punched him in the throat. >> i've been to three of those i don't want to hear it. >> you don't want to relive it. >> buddy, take the time you spent putting the go pro on and go sooner. she teaches childbirth education. i think it's great, a healthy baby is great. even if it's videotaped from start to finish. >> she gets a good push present from that one i think. i love the reaction from these

and for many, it's a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine, loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®. it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in, and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up.

other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®.

we'll talk live with the star from team usa. your "new day" continues right now. >> announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo, kate bolduan and michaela pereira. >> full view of new york, welcome to "new day" and good morning. happy friday. it's july 11th, 8:00 in the east, crate, i call them crate, chris and kate. >> they call us nick berman. >> and now christine romans is doing the headlines today, john, thanks for joining us. the political rhetoric ramping up over the border crisis. president obama urging lawmakers to pass his package he's getting strong pushback from republicans criticizing the president for not taking responsibility. as lawmakers squabble communities are trying to deal with the influx of immigrants as federal and local law enforcement tries to stem the tide. alina machado is live from the

texas/mexico border. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, michaela. we've been talking all week about just how much law enforcement presence there is in this area especially the closer you get to the river, but as you're about to see, keeping one what's going on here just isn't easy. this is the rio grande, nearly 1900 miles long and now the battleground of an immigration crisis hitting the u.s. it's where a flood of undocumented immigrants are crossing in texas every single day. we wanted to get a firsthand look so we headed out on a boat with johnnie hart who has lived on the riff for more than three decade decades. >> it's a routine deal touring the river we see the crossings. >> reporter: it didn't take long for to us find a path used by undocumented immigrants to cross the river, a man in the heavy brush even appears to hide from us. >> it's mainly adults that we see lately in the last several months it's been women and children.

>> you've seen them on this river? >> yes. >> reporter: on rafts? >> yes. >> reporter: u.s. law enforcement boats, whether state or federal, are never too far away but when they are we see this, people on rafts hurrying to cross the river. in this case they seem to be headed back to mexico after a dropoff on the u.s. side. while we can't say for certain what they're up to, it's clear the men on the rafts are not happy to see us. we wanted to see where those rafts were coming from and just a few feet away look at what we saw on the u.s. side, several border patrol agents, two vehicles, and four people who appeared to be detained. not long after, a bus shows up, perhaps suggesting more than just four were now in the hands of u.s. border patrol. now remember the raft you just saw, they're not particularly large, but locals tell us that they've seen as many as 12 people on a raft crossing into the u.s. john? >> alina machado on the border,

thanks so much for being there. joining us to discuss the crisis on the border, also the other big story coming out of washington, republicans in the house drawing up maypapers to s the president over obea ma care. angus king, the independent senator from the state of maine sits on the senate armed services committee and the rules committee. thanks so much for joining us, senator. >> good morning, john. nice to be with you. >> i want to start with the lout comi lawsuit coming from the house. speaker boehner saying it will focus on obama care and the president unilaterally delayed the employer mandate for a year. you, sir, are an independent but you caucus with democrats in the senate. sume, i'm going to assume you're against the idea of this lawsuit, but let me ask you about your opinion about executive authority. how much is too much? how far is too far? are there any things that concern but how much authority the president has used over the last several years? >> well, absolutely. this is a question that goes baaing to the beginning of the

country and it's a constant tug-of-war between the congress and the president with occasionally the courts stepping in. here is an interesting fact i ran across because i kept hearing the charms of the imperial presidency. barack obama's issued fewer executive orders per day, which is a sort of apples to apples way to look at it than any president of the you state since grover cleveland in about 1880. i know that sounds hard to believe, but that's just the facts, if you can look at the data, but on the other hand, i am worried about too much executive authority. i'm old enough to remember richard nixon, they called it the imperial presidency when he was refusing to spend money that congress had appropriated. so this isn't a new issue. i think it's one that needs to be examined, that needs to be worked over and looked at, but i don't think we should act like this is something that's never happened before. >> senator, i want to talk about the crisis at the border right now, because there's been a whole lot of shouting, a whole

lot of fingerpri pointing over last several days. president obama sat down with governor rick perry in texas and after the meeting harsh words about the republicans, governor had harsh words about the president and speaker boehner was yelling about it yesterday. where is the compromise coming here? >> you put your finger on it, too much shouting, too much fingerpointing, too much squabbling. that word i think was used earlier in the broadcast. people need to take a deep breath, sit down and look at the facts. the first fact is this crisis was generated by a law passed in 2008 in december, ironically almost unanimously, i think it did go through the congress man unanimo unanimously, signed by president george w. bush, one of the last acts of his presidency and it treats immigrants from non-contiguous countries, children, differently from those from canada or mexico and that's really part of the origin of this, and you know, at first i thought well, president obama

said he's going to treat children differently and obvious he will that's what's caused this. the trouble is the facts don't bear that out. these kids are coming from three countries, el salvador, honduras and guatemala, three of the most dangerous countries in the world and here's an interesting fact. undocumented children seeking asylum are going into other neighboring countries like costa rica and belize and panama. the requests have gone up ovover over 700% and i don't think their presidents have said anything. there's plenty to talk about here but i think we need to take a deep breath. i try to get at the facts before i start talking about whose fault it is. >> that makes you a rare breed. >> i've been a member of congress for a year and a half -- well, we're really good at blaming and second-guessing and pointing fingers at things. let's sit down and try to solve this problem. it's a serious problem, john. it's one that's going to take some real thought and work, but,

man, everything turning into a political issue. >> are you in favor of changing the 2008 law which allows for a waiting period essentially for people coming over the border from noncontiguous nation, are you in favor of changing the law? >> i think we have to change it. i don't think it needs to be repealed but right now the deal is that children that come from a contiguous country, mexico, canada, are treated differently and more expeditiously than children that come from a non-contiguous country like the three countries i mentioned. >> understood. >> i think we need to examine and we have an unintended consequence here and it's a humanitarian crisis and we've got to really start thinking about it, but we also have to start thinking about what can we do to help those countries like honduras with the highest murder rate in the world, so that these kids don't feel they have to escape and go through this horrible process of trying to get to our country. >> senate angus king, it's great to have you here with us. we hope that voices like yours get louder calling for discussion, calling for

compromise, calling for people to get in a room and discuss this, rather than just fingerpointing and waving their own personal partisan flags. senator angus king, thanks for being with us. appreciate it. >> thanks, john. >> michaela? john, thanks so much. we want to head to the middle east, the situation there escalating. israel coming under fire now from lebanon. this is the first time in the conflict that israel has seen incoming rockets from the north. israeli forces responded with an artillery strike. meantime israel and mass militants trading fire along the gaza strip. casualty there reaching 100 in gaza. the damage growing in israel. cnn's wolf blitzer is on the ground. he's near the israel/gaza border. wolf, we're so glad to see you, and for to you get a sense of what's happening there on the ground. i understand you've been there for over 24 hours now even had a scare yourself with the sirens going off where you were. tell us about that. >> reporter: you know, it's a

regular situation here especially as you get closer and closer towards gaza. gaza literally maybe a couple miles behind me. don't be surprised if you see a plume of smoke go up, israeli air strikes going after targets inside gaza. we've been seeing the plumes regularly over the past hour or so as i've been at this location not far away from the border with gaza. the israeli air strikes continuing to pound away and as you point out, 100 deaths already in gaza, many of them civilians, 600, 700 people have been injured, so it's very intense what's going on there as well. on this side, on the israeli side, the sirens go off fairly often. i was on a road i was driving and all of a sudden we heard a siren. listen to this. [ siren ] you can hear the sirens have just gone off so we're all being told to get to a shelter so we're running and --

so you see we all were in a car. the car stopped. all the cars on the main highway there stopped. everybody gets out, they start running, the doors are wide open or the cars, you run to the closest shelter, there are a lot of shelters all over the place especially aening lo the border with gaza, you go inside the p concrete shelter, wait for the all clear and they get in their cars and drive away. some of rockets have actually hit specific targets. little earlier today i was out and i went to see a gas station that had just been a direct hit from a hamas rocket from gaza, there were about a dozen vehicles completely destroyed. the whole gas station was basically destroyed, completely burned, the fuel truck exploded. there was huge plumes of smoke, and one israeli unfortunately handicapped israeli couldn't get out of the car he was trying to get some gas.

he was stuck inside. he was severely injured in the process. people ran away and then they came back. usually they have the closer you get to gaza about 30 seconds of a siren that goes off while you can go search for a shelter before that rocket or that missile hits. so it's a pretty tense situation. so we've been traveling around seeing what's going on, clearly it's a tense situation here. it's obviously a whole lot worse on the other side of the border behind me in gaza with the israeli air strikes going after hamas targets. gaza 1.5 million or people in a small area, there are going to be civilian casualties and there have been. michaela? >> you talk about that tension on both sides, living with it every day. you got a sense of it in the 24 hours that you've already been there for. now this is new today. we talked about it at the top of this story with you that this rocket was fired from lebanon, the first time in this conflict that a rocket has been launched from the north. what has been the reaction on

the ground? what are you hearing from your sources about this? >> reporter: well, the israelis are hoping that was anis lated incident that rocket came in presumably from some sort of target, hezbollah or some other group in south lebanon came into northern israel. they're hoping it was an isolated incident. the israelis went in with artillery fire and responded. let's see if there are any more incidents along the northern border between israel and lebanon because if there are, this becomes all of a sudden for the israelis a two-front war. it could be a three-front war. the other day at a beach maybe a mile or so from where we are a beach called zekeem, an effort by hamas commandos to storm the beach and get onshore. i went to an israeli naval base they detected these hamas infiltrators coming in. we sxo we spoke to demanders and toured some of the patrol boats. full report coming up later

today in "the situation room." they're very worried, the israelis. there's a long mediterranean coastline with a lot of beaches, all the way from gaza, up north through tel aviv, all the way through haifa and lebanon so they're patrolling that area because they're very afraid there might not only be rockets coming in from gaza or from lebanon for that matter but also from the sea as well so they're watching that very closely. i've been to israel as you know, michaela, many times. this is a pretty tense moment right now. >> a hope for deescalation seeming to fade with every passing day. wolf blitzer great reporting for us. we appreciate it. next up for us on "new day," diturning behavior by the father of the toddler left to die in a hot car. we'll tell you what prosecutors uncovered from his online behavior. and it all comes down to sunday, the world cup final is approaching. team usa's al saner it madoya

welcome back to "new day." new details emerging this morning in the case against justin ross harris, the father accused of letting his toddler die in a hot car. hundreds of new discovered internet postings have now emerged. investigators are trying to paint a picture of harris using all of it, but will it be enough to hurt harris in court? we want to bring in some legal

minds on friday. joining us mo ivory and radio personality. page pate, criminal defense attorney, so good to have you both. good morning, happy friday. mo, i want to start with you. you look at these postings, some of them are a little disturbing, and some of them are intriguing and you kind of can't help but read into them. as an attorney you know not to do that. you try to figure out what the facts are in the case. the posts are believed to be harris expressing strong ant anti-abortion views "killing a person in the sense of abortion is selfish and malicious with the intent of only satisfying your own agenda." does this sound like this could help his defense at all? >> if i was his defense attorney i would certainly use it to do that. i mean it sounds here that he's trying to make a case for how important life is and the life of a child and how much he believes in the life of a child and that nobody should end it, so i definitely think that it speaks to that but if i was in the prosecution i'd use it another way they are a religious

family, this everybody in church but that doesn't have anything to do with killing your own born child for selfish reasons, for an agenda to have a child-free life or fix your marriage or whatever the prosecution ends up saying is the reason why he did this. so i think it can be used both ways. >> either way. page other posts say "i'm now in my beautiful dream job, a 6-month-old son, i couldn't be happier." that doesn't sound like a guy on the brink. >> it really doesn't. i agree with mo that this kind of information can help him in the court of public opinion, but it's unlikely to help him in a trial court. this type of evidence is not admissible unless he takes the stand and testifies to it. you can't get in your self-serving hearsay statements that you may have said in a text or some other communication, so it's not going to come in at court but it may help him with the public and his character witness. >> brings up a great point, this court of public opinion we look at the fact that leanna harris, the wife, who has made some

comments people view as odd and ill timed and strange, she has hired legal counsel now. what does that development say to you as a legal professional? >> well, what it says is it's sort of the smartest thing that she's done since this whole incident happened, getting an attorney doesn't necessarily mean that you're gearing up for a charge. it could, and it might, and that's what she could be doing but it's always a good idea when you're surrounded by a case such as this to have representation. it doesn't mean you're guilty. it doesn't mean you're innocent. it means you're getting representation. so i was glad that she did because it means now that they are taking this seriously, that she may -- you know for me, i hope it means that she is going to decide to take, if she gets charged, to take a plea, to work with the prosecution, and testify against her husband, and if that would save her life, maybe that's what she's gearing up to do. but i definitely think the public pressure in the last week has been pointing towards her,

which probably sped up the process of her getting an attorney. >> page you're shaking your head. >> right. i know the lawyer she's hired to represent her, a good lawyer but they are close to her husband's legal team and we know she's been visiting her husband's lawyer, she's been visiting her husband at the jail. while i think it's a great idea to get representation, at least have somebody run interference with the media, with the public, with law enforcement, i don't see her breaking off from her husband at this point. if anything, i see just the opposite. i see them tied very closely together. >> page, pretend you're her attorney for a second. what would you advise her? >> i'd advise her number one to stop talking over jail phones to her husband about anything other than -- >> i'd advise her of that, too. >> anything "i love you, i care about you." then i would advise her lawyer or if i'm her lawyer to start talking to the district attorney's office, if nothing else, to get a good idea of what their case is. do you consider my client a suspect? let's get that out there, because if you do, then we need to discuss the evidence and i

need to take some strategic moves at this point. >> mo, quickly, we know it sparked a big debate about hot car deaths, et cetera. we know a law is in place in tennessee now that protects bystanders who if they see a child trapped in a car, they can break the window without legal recrimination. are you hearing any calls in georgia about a similar law there because of this story in. >> i definitely think that people are talking about what the governor did, a program of education to let people know about this and taking that a step further, and making sure that we have some laws around this. now we're finding out after this happened so many cases of it happening, and so many people coming forward to say i actually left my child in the car. one of my best friends told me yesterday she did that and i was shocked. i think it's a secret that a lot of people hold and a law could only help to protect children in that situation. >> our key goal in talking about this, we don't want this to happen again. mo ivory, page pate, always a

pleasure. john, over to you. the world cup final is upon us, who will win, argentina or argentina? we will ask a man who knows, because he played in the world cup, our very own u.s. men's national team star alejandro bedoya joins us in studio live. [ male announcer ] don't just visit miami.

. good friday morning. welcome back. time for the five things to know for your "new day." number one president obama facing a lawsuit from house republicans who say he broke the law when he made changes to obamacare. the president is also facing gop pushback over the pour der criscrie border crisis. >> fighting in the middle east intensifies. the death toll in gaza has risen to 100 as ma ha mass militants fire more rockets into israel. germany has kicked america's top spy out of berlin after two cases emerged of alleged nsa spying. the nsa came under fire for

tapping chancellor angela merkel's phone. a mississippi baby thought to be cured of the hiv virus is showing signs of infection, a blow to doctors who thought they were on track to a cure. researchers remain optimistic they are on the right track. will lebron james make that big announcement today? we're expecting to find out where he'll play next season before he heads to brazil for sunday's world cup final. we are always updating the five things to know, so go to newdaycnn.com for the latest. john? michaela? >> just a little game this sunday. >> what's happening? >> called the world cup final. it happens sunday. germany faces off against argentina. it will be quite a game. we've got to talk about this, and i am so excited. >> he really is. >> that we have our very own u.s. men's soccer star alejandro bedoya, just back from brazil, where he helped team usa really in an effort we all loved

watching. first of all thank you for keeping us entertained for so long there. i got to say i played soccer growing up. my kids play soccer. i don't think we play quite as well as you. you just told us when you grew up, you played in the backyard pretending it was the world cup, playing in your own mini world cups. what's it like to be there after all this time, more than a billion people watching on tv. i think butterflies in your stomach, they must be like terradactyles. >> there were definitely butterflies in my stomach but that's the best part. i embrace it. i walk out of the tunnel in the game against ghana, you know, right before we came out, for warmups, and the fifa guys are holding us back, we're not allowed on the field yet. you get a glimpse of the field, you're in the tunnel before you come out and it just hit me wow, this is the world cup. you see the amount of media there, the photographers and the atmosphere and the stadium building up.

i got the chills. i got the butterflies. it's awesome. >> you will never forget that experience for the rest of your life. >> for sure i won't. >> did you get a sense of all that was going on back here stateside? it was bananas. you heard of the reports of viewing parties all over various cities and towns across the u.s., kids buying jerseys. you couldn't walk down the street without seeing some sort of team usa insignia. did you get a sense of it while you were there or was your head so in the game you weren't ware of it? >> it's funny you say that. i did get a sense, we would go on twitter and instagram but you're in such a bubble down there, with the team, your focus is on performing on the game, being focused but through social media you get to see things, even though the internet in the hotel was slow at times, the videos wouldn't upload always but you got a sense of the hype really surrounding this. >> we went crazy for you guys here. >> it was awesome. >> we've never had that real enthusiasm i think for world cup and for soccer. i think it's a turning point.

do you feel there's a turning point in america's participation in this sport? >> think you said it earlier, before the show started it's kind of reached a new plateau. it helps with social media and everything, but i think definitely this world cup definitely managed to pick up the hearts of many new american soccer people. >> at what point did you realize this is something special, we're going to go further than maybe people thought america would go? >> i thought from, i mean just not myself but the rest of my teammates, we believed from the beginning even before we got to brazil. >> we believe that we can win. >> we believe that we can win, that we can make it out of the group. >> to get out of the group, you played germany. you lost to germany, 1-0. it was a tight game. you could have come out with a draw at the end. germany goes on to beat this little team called brazil 7-1. >> i believe they were spanked. >> what were you thinking when you were watching the game. you played very tight. they're good, but they just

crushed gra brazibrazil. >> the law of mathematics we would have beat brazil -- >> 5-0. you essentially beat brazil. >> no, it was crazy. i was back home already so i was enjoying some shopping but i stopped into a restaurant to watch and that was at the 20-minute mark and i remember i stopped at the restaurant to go to the bathroom and it was 1-0 at that point and all of a sudden i come out and it's 4-0 or 3-0, you know? they scored three goals. >> it says more about the game than what went on in the bathroom i'm sure. >> no, i just went in there, wash my hands -- >> change the subject and give the man some dignity. one of the things you might have picked up on, too, there were some new nicknames for your goaltender, goalkeeper, mr. tim howard. he has become kind of this rock star in his own status. talk about how that goes down within the guys. do you tease him about this newfound, what do they call him

the berlin wall, all of these nicknames that he has. how does that go down in the clubhouse? >> secretary. >> secretary of defense. >> he was a beast. the whole tournament. >> he really was. >> the belgium game stood out more because of the shots he faced but we teased him a bit. we follow social media and we saw the names and the pictures. they were hilarious. we were scrolling through all of them. >> might have retweeted one or two. >> we get messages from guys back home and make new ones. we tease him but he takes it well. >> quickly who wins on sunday? >> germany. >> without hesitation? >> i think they've shown they've been the strongest team throughout the whole tournament. that was my pick before the tournament as well. i say 2-1. >> you hear it from a man who faced them down. alejandro bedoya, thanks. >> congratulations for making a whole nation believe. >> put on your scarves.

you want to. >> i wanted to do this my whole life. >> did that hit new the face? next up on "new day" we know john walsh from "america's most wanted." now he is back and he is on the trail of criminals right here on cnn. we're going osit down and talk to john about "the hunt." and rosie o'donnell going back to "the view." everyone's asking who else is in the running to join her, and whoopi goldberg. we will discuss in "what's new, what's next."

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. that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve.. at humana, we believe if healthcare changes, if frustration and paperwork decrease... the gap begins to close.

so let's simplify things. let's close the gap between people and care.

all right, welcome back to "new day." we're back with another edition of our summer series "what's new, what's next." we're joined by carlos watson. nice to see you this morning. >> good to be with you. >> everyone's buzzing about "the view" and who is going to be on "the view." what is your sense of what's new and what's next on "the view." >> want me to give you something very different? >> yes. >> not a scoop and recommendings, barbara, if you're listening, i have recommendations. put tina fey. mindy kayling. one that you don't know about but i promise you a superstar, isa ray, has a television show on hbo, beyond funny. you'll thank me for years to come, she's beyond funny. >> i see a theme here, whole

generation. >> what about dudes? i'm asking for a friend. >> i've been telling them john berman was the right guy for the longest time. if they don't listen to that and chris cuomo remains on vacation, then the only other obvious choice is sir charles, charles b barkley. >> that would be genius. >> he's opinionated. >> i don't think sir charles xwe gets up that early. >> maybe he's not your five day a week guy. barbara's in there once, twice a week. different schedules. i think he'd be so funny. he'd be great and shake it up. >> i like your tina fey but i'd not want to take her away from movies. i want her rested for entertaining, i need her doing other things. she's a mom of two young kids, with the daily grind, tina, don't do it. talk about the latest research on relationships, interesting stuff there. you got two disturbing studies about relationships. time for people to lower our

standards. >> not lower your standards, just be careful with the beer goggles. we're saying be super careful with expectations. >> chardonnay goggles any different? >> i like what you're saying. here is the study, a guy and a number of others came forward to say the problem isn't lowering your standards, it's being reasonable. have two or three issues, not ten or 12. when you stack the plate that heavy, has to be 6'4" on the world cup team, wealthy. let's say it's a little bit difficult and so when they looked at the surveys, people who limit the number of really important things to two or three have a much better chance of ending up in the right sort of relationships for a long time, and if they choose the right factors, namely agreeableness. >> that is a big deal. >> the other study so interesting showed that people who use social media are 32% more likely to think about

leaving their spouse. >> what? >> is this like the facebook curse? berman get off facebook. >> are you just texting for a friend? >> he only does it on fridays. they don't know whether it's cause and effect or whether reality is people are in tough relationships already and they're turning to facebook and getting a little bit of comfort. >> what comes first the chicken or the egg. >> but no doubt about it, they did the survey across 43 states, they looked at 1200 couples in texas in particular, always something going on in texas, and unfortunately, they say the folks who are spending four hours plus on facebook every day are not only people who they sometimes call facebook addicts, they have special names for them but starting to see that show up in divorce papers, about one out of five divorces sometimes mentions facebook in the petition. >> an interesting business story, the next mark zuckerberg. who is this guy? >> the new hot place in silicon valley is not just palo alto and not just san francisco. it's not even where apple is based, cupertino but a little town where ozzie happens to be based called mountain view but

also where google and linkedin and a bunch of others. company called quicksie and their founder a young israeli born guy tomer kagan, moved to silicon valley as a young guy. when it comes to searching for things you don't just want to search the web. you want to search inside of apps, inside of all your good apps, the restaurant reservations, whether hotels are available, whether or not you can get to go to the places you want. he calls it deep search and launched this company five years ago with a little bit of money from, surprise, surprise, eric schmidt, the one-time ceo of google and now he's circling back on him saying i'm going to take google down and partnering up with a chinese internet giant ali baba. >> i want him to do that inside my brain. i need to deep search function there. >> makes me think about the deep internet from "house of cards." >> i'm with you. >> carlos watson, thank you. >> happy friday, carlos. >> happy friday. next up for us on "new day," john walsh from "america's most

wanted" is back at it, hunting down criminals around the country. we will have a preview of his new show on cnn. it is great, "the hunt." stay with us. hey pal? you ready? can you pick me up at 6:30? ah... (boy) i'm here! i'm here! (cop) too late. i was gone for five minutes! ugh! move it. you're killing me. you know what, dad? i'm good.

(dad) it may be quite a while before he's ready, but our subaru legacy will be waiting for him. (vo) the longest-lasting midsize sedan in its class. introducing the all-new subaru legacy. it's not just a sedan. it's a subaru.

i'll always be the parent of a murdered child. i still have the heart ache. i still have the rage. i waited years for justice. i know what it's like to be there waiting for some answers,

and over those years, i learned how to do one thing really well, and that's how to catch these bastards and bring them back to justice. i've become a maphunter. i'm out there looking for -- >> wow, that is a compelling look at the compel new cnn series "the hunt." it is hosted by john walsh. note we're capturing some of the country's worst criminals on the hit show "america's most wanted." now he is back doing what he does best, tracking those who commit the most heinous of crimes. joining us is our new colleague john walsh. great to have you here with us. >> welcome to the family. >> thank you very much. >> you can tell by that clip there, it's important for you to be here doing what you're doing. >> i did 25 years at fox on "america's most wanted." it was a fantastic run. we caught almost 1300 bad guys all, in 45 countries, recovered 61 missing children, one of them being elizabeth smart. it was a fantastic run.

i tried to go back into the private sector. i went to work for a company named great call, fabulous company, that does safety devices and the jitterbug phone and they'd sponsor me for years. all that time people neve stopped coming up to me saying "my grandmother was murdered. it was never solved." it would be a bellman, a skycap, how you travel and people come up to you and law enforcement said you need to saddle back up. the fbi and the marshal said look, john, you caught 17 guys off the ten most wanted. there are literally thousands of cold cases, thousands of cases that you would be able to put those millions of eyeballs and fans that you have to those cases, so you're absolutely right. i just couldn't sit on the sidelines. so i'm back. i'm back with jeff zucker, the president of cnn is a friend of mine. >> we know him, too. >> he we might know him. the need hasn't gun away and that's the thing that we know. you introduce us in the first

episode, we got a preview of it, i have to tell you, you draw us in more than ever. you find yourself caring so completely for the victims and the people affected by whatever heinous act in this first episode we meet this family who is affected by a shane mill per >> horrible guy, and one of the reasons that i sort of saddled up in my mind and when i saw the story and they said, this would probably be our first story, here's a guy who is a violent coward and murdered his own wife but he shot his 5-year-old and 8-year-old daughters in the face. what kind of guy murders his children? if you have a terrible beef with your wife, there's no reason to murder her, but nobody murders their own children. huge manhunt, they search for him all over the pacific northwest, all over northern california. found a bunker with 100,000 rounds of ammunition and 47 automatic weapons and i said this is a violent, dangerous guy, and once you cross that line to kill your own children, you could kill anybody.

>> he's still out there. >> you spare no words for him. "the only right thing that shane miller should do is take that gun and turn it on himself. that's what he deserves. if he doesn't have the balls do do that, then turn yourself in." >> that's how i feel about it. you look at the two beautiful little girls and you look at this bully, narcissistic coward, what he did to his wife and only children, he's a bad guy and out there somewhere, and one is you cross that line, i'm sure that this guy would do anything to anybody to stay alive, and this was a huge amount of resources looking to are this guy. >> huge amount. >> and a huge manhunt and the marshal said to me, john, if you saddle up, you have this bond of trust with the public and you guarantee their anonymity. i think there's people out there might know where shane miller is and they're afraid to tell someone but if you go to cnn.com/thehunt or you go to your tole-free hotline i guarantee your anonymity. for 25 years i've on done this.

cops don't answer the phone. people don't want to be dragged into the court or trial. if it's someone they know they don't want to suffer the retribution. cnn and i are teaming back up to recreate that bond of anonymity. if you know where this guy is, whether you're afraid of him, whatever you're doing, do the right thing. >> do the right thing. >> pick up the phone, get online, give us that tip. you don't have to leave your name and we'll take a really dangerous coward off the street. >> a tip is all it can take. one of the things i appreciate you talk about the real challenges that might not have been the same 25 years ago when you first started out, in terms of the challenges that law enforcement agencies are facing, the cutbacks, the lack of resources, et cetera. you pulled no punches. you talk about that in your segments. >> very much so and the huge level of violence. we are the richest, most powerful country in the world. we're the top first world country. we had 11 murders in chicago in one weekend. chicago is the leading murder

capital in the united states last year with 505 homicides, it's a beautiful city. we're dealing with 22 school shootings in the last two and a half years, 79 episodes with guns in schools. there are challenges that law enforcement are facing these days that nobody would dream would happen 25 years ago. it used to be we'd turn down a few cases. when i started out, we'd catch a guy here and there, but i think there are some, what's happening on the border is another horrible, horrible human event that i don't think we're handling right. the second guy i'm profiling in the second, sorry, in the second or third show i'm profiling a coyote who locked 11 men and women in a tanker, and they roasted to death, and when they found that tank car in iowa, and these guys make huge amount of money and encourage people to come across the border, guarantee them safety, while they're extorting them.
