he really chaked the president. on the issues that heft talking about, on the yes security leak come from the white house and slated to come down the pike thanks to a bill that many republicans voted for. he tried to pin it on the president and the president's strategy. >> today we're just months away from an arbitrary across the board budget reduction that would saddle the military with a trillion dollars in cuts. severely shrink our fore structure and impair or ability to meet threats. don't try to find any rationale

behind that. strategy is not driving the president's massive defense cuts. his own secretary of defense warned these reductions could be devastating, and he's right. that devastation would start here at home. mark my words those cuts would only weaken an already stretched v.a. system and our solemn commitment. if i'm president of the united states, i will not let that happen. >> reporter: as you can imagine, that got wild applause in in aud jens of vet yans of foreign wares. he is saying this is the president's strategy but we should e enforce it was his fellow republicans that has the cuts. the other thing on where you and i started trust, credibility.

he really, really decided to hit that hard. hit hard the idea that these national security leaks are potentially coming from the white house and the president, somebody with him is trying to do that for political gain to make him look good. >> dana, appreciate hit. the last republican president is showing his support. they rited romney's headquarters . bush's camp says the former president will not attend next months republican convention. a lot more news unfolding on this tuesday. take a look at this. grenades, gun powder and gasoline found inside the apartment of the suspected shooter. that's not all . the news is now. mpblt kermit and big bird

now we know why it took so long for police to enter james holmes apartment. a source tells cnn he rigged 30 homemade grenades and ten gallons of gasoline to blow if someone walked inside. cnn learned the details from a law enforcement official who has seen video from the inside. the official adds it was rigged to a control box with wires like, his word, spaghetti. a former fbi agent said the setup was like something you'd find in iraq or afghanistan. >> this is one of the first times we've seen a house bomb in the united states. some of these things do exist overseas. we have seen them in places like iraq and afghanistan. also, in colombia, south america. this is the first one i can recall seeing or reading about in the united states where it was set to destroy the home. >> crews spent more than 24 hours sizing up the threats within that apartment. they took some of the materials

here to the secure field and detonated them saturday. one theory is that holmes booby-trapped his apartment and played loud music to lure someone inside triggering this massive blast. his downstairs neighbor said she almost went inside to deal with the music and figure out why it was so loud. she decided against that. so many questions about james holmes made his first court appearance since his arrest. the wild hair, the dazed look if his eyes varying from bug eye to barely conscious. what could have gone wrong with him. what could have led him to kill 12 people inside a dark movie theater. i want to bring in clinical psychologist. she's the author of when to worry. how to tell if your teen needs help. welcome. i want to be crystal clear with our viewers that we don't know

whether or not james holmes is mentally ill. we don't know. i know so many are asking were there any warning signs. were there? >> it's hard. it's easy to look back now and wonder. if someone drops out of school and in a graduate program i think it's important to talk to them. the fact that he prepared this for several months. there were some warning signs. one of the owners of the gun shop thought he was odd. when he called the house there was a rambling strange voice mail message. he noticed something was off. lots of people tend to notice warning signs when something is wrong because they are not all talking to each other. in isolation people just blow it off. if everybody had the warning signs at the siem time maybe they would be able to piece it together. >> that was the owner of the colorado gun range that said you can't practice here because of

that odd behavior on the voice mail. i want to play this sound. this is statement read by their attorney yesterday. >> the family wants to reiterate that their hearts go out to the victims and their families. the holmes family would like to maintain their privacy. we will not be discussing james or his relationship to the family. >> i know there are already people out there that could say to this mother and father, you raised a mass murderer, you failed as parents, but you don't agree with that. >> i don't. it's very difficult to be a parent. for parent who is do have a child who has a mental illness, it's not their fault. it's typically a combination between genetics, stress in their life and the individual's coping skills. in fact, if you think about it, when your child as a broken arm or leg you take them to the

emergency room. mental illness is much more complex than that. we don't fully understand it. a young person who is on drugs can look like they are mentally ill. something mentally ill can look like they are on drugs. family, parent, teachers don't know how to recognize the signs even if they are seeing them. >> dave cullen wrote the book on colunbine. he said he wasn't bullied. it was a deep depression. here is what he told me. >> love was really the most common theme in his entire journal. that wasn't the only theme. there's lots and lots of anger. he's at war with himself. he was dealing whe ining ining pain and had low self-esteem.

he got involved with a psychopath who drew him into his plan. >> cullen told me that most mass murders are not psychopaths. they are deeply depressed. how vulnerables are kids today? isn't it on parents to recognize that in their child? >> it's interesting that you say that. i wrote a book called when to worry. parents, they're no handbook to tell them what warning signs are. a lot of the major mental health disorders often take hold between the ages of 18 and 14, james' age and it's hard to tell what will is normal teen isolation and when is it something to worry about. is it important for parents to

reach out? there's so much stigma around mental health. a lot of parents stay and try to handle it themselves. because they are blamed for this, they don't reach out because of the stigma. >> stigma needs to go away. we all need to be talking about it. thank you so much. the international aids conference understoway in washington. how do you cure a disease that's killed so many? we have clues. a man who's doctor say was cured of hiv in his own words. we're hearing from him, next. therif they don't act,hike hanging over us. americans will see their taxes on dividend income spike, almost tripling in some cases.

today, outside the international aids conference protesters demanding more money for research and treatment. take a look at the crowds. they walked from the conference building to the white house.

inside this conference the focus was on a much different journey. the one taken by tim brown. he went from being having the hiv infection to being cured. he is the only person in the world known to have been healed of the virus that causes aids. he is attending this conference in washington. he spoke with dr. sanja gupta. i was just talking about this man. to this think one person has been cured it's stunning. how is he? >> reporter: he's doing well. he's the focus of a lot of attention in the scientific and medical community. his story is an interesting one. it's an important reference point. he had hiv-aids for some time and diagnosed with leukemia back in 2007. he underwent bone marrow ans

transplant. they believe it taught the cells to become resistant to the virus. i did speak with him. here is how he put it. >> does that mean you have no symptoms? you have to virus? how do you describe it? >> i quit taking my medication on the day i got my first transplant. unfortunately, the leukemia came back and i had to get a second transplant a year later. after the first transplant i did very well. i gained muscle weight and went back to work. everything was great. the leukemia came back. my hiv was gone after three months after the first transplant. totally eradicated from my body? >> completely gone? >> completely gone. >> reporter: as you might imagine, doing a bone marrow transplant is not realistic.

the question people are trying to answer is what happened inside timothy's body and can that be replicated in some other way with genetic therapy, for example. scientists are reticent to use the word cure. it's not a word you hear thrown around a lot at a meeting like this, but they with respect to timothy brown. he's not sick. he's perfectly healthy. >> that's what i thought yesterday morning when i heard about the story. i said are we really using the c word. if they're using at a the conference, we're using it on cnn. i know his story is not typical. tell me about this disease overall, the treatment of people with hiv. what can people hopefully look forward to in terms of breakthrough? >> reporter: it's an important point with regard to timothy brown. it's not typical. scientists are trying to learn. he's been poke and and prodded and investigated.

they did find evidence of old virus in his system a few months ago. that virus wasn't viable. it was essentially dead virus. that's what scientists are focusing in on. this is medication which you may have heard of. this is a milestone medication. the last 30 years there hasn't been a medication to prevent hiv infection. they are focused on treatment. to use a medication to prevent, this is fda approved. it reduces the likelihood of infection up to 46%. one of the big thing, there's so much stigma still surrounding this. people have been talking about the idea of doing testing at home, not having to go into the doctors office. this is an at-home test. it's not come out yet. this one of the only ones in the united states. it comes out in october. you take this little swab and swab the top and bottom of your

mouth. put it in here and it takes about 20 minutes. with about 92% accuracy you can tell if you are positive for the hiv virus. this is where science is headed here and some of the big developments. >> so many people are afraid of going to the doctors office. we'll look for that in october. we appreciate your for us in washington. debra messing, you knew her and loved her on will and grace. she's going to love me tomorrow to talk about the hiv stigma and also discrimination. that chat tomorrow at 3:00 eastern. she is an oscar winning actress and a short time ago her brother-in-law learning his fate for the murders of her family members. acame across some disturbing numbers about the number of american who is are living paycheck to paycheck. it is not pretty.

americans are living paycheck to paycheck. that's up from 15 years ago when consumer confidence was high and unemployment was low. as more and more americans struggle to make ends meet, they are asking cnn's help desk for answers. >> hey, there. we're talking about credit card debt. a big issue for folks. greg, this question came in for you. >> if you're carrying a very large amount of credit card debt even though it's more beneficial in the long run if you have it to pay it off, is it worth it to pay it off in one big lump sum. >> he said i can afford to go month by month paying this off with the high interest rate but should i pay it off in a lump sum? >> the rule of thumb is pay off debt as quickly as possible. if you have the money in a lump sum, pay it off as quickly as you can. there are advantages of paying on a monthly basis such as for

budgeting or also building up your credit as time goes on. if you have the money to pay it off, do so because then you're going to be paying the interest back to yourself. >> i definitely agree with that because it shows a strong record if you can continue to pay it off but it's better to get rid of that high interest rate debt. if you have other revovling debts like a student loan or mortgage, maybe it's less important po have that monthly payment on your credit card versus paying it all off. >> thank you. appreciate it. if you have a question you want one of our experts to tackle you can up load a 30 second video. >> thank you. now what is going won the jackson's? michael jackson's mother reported missing but she's not. she's just not at home. now her other children are fighting very publicly. we're about to tell you about this reported scuffle at the estate. this man is about to be the millionth customer.

things are getting nasty at the jackson home and it all surrounds michael jackson's mom. she's been in arizona. i want to break down what's happening. there are a lot of players. you know the jackson family. you have father joe and you have mother kathryn and then you have eight remaining kids from rebbie, tito, jermaine. none of those eight was left anything in michael jackson's will. not a one. the ones who inherit the estate are jackson's three kids. you have prince, paris and blanket. in addition to those kid, kathryn jackson is the only other family member named in the will. she's the guardian of michael's

children. the 82-year-old has been gone now for nine days and the the l.a. county sheriff's office says she's been with rebbie in arizona. a scuffle happened last night where the kids still are. janet, jermaine and randy were on the scene. sunny hostin joining me now. goodness. i mean, it sounds like everybody's sort of pointing fingers at one another here. who's the bad guy in the situation? what's the deal? >> it's too hard to tell. i got to tell you, i've been poring over these documents and these stories since this morning and i still can't tell who the bad actor is. i mean, of course these siblings, the jackson siblings are pointing the finger at the executive of the state saying the will was a fraud and sham and their mother is being taken advantage of. but now we see the tweets coming from paris and she's saying, huh-uh, i haven't seen my

grandmother in nine days and counting. whoever is responsible for this will pay. so she seems to be pointing the finger at her aunts and ung ls. so this really has become such a family feud that it is really difficult to tell what is going on. >> so we don't exactly know the what's going on. do we know really what's at stake here? >> well, you know, many people are saying this has got to do with money, brooke. as you mentioned, michael jackson did leave a will. most of the money goes to his three children, as you mentioned, paris, blanket and prince. some of that money also goes to his mother, katherine jackson, who is the legal guardian of these children. some of the money went to charity. none of the money went to his siblin siblings, and now they have written a letter saying that the will is a fraud, that the executors are mismanaging all of his estate. and get this, brooke, when he died, his estate was valued at about $300 million.

right now about $8 billion, brooke, and counting. and so a lot of money at stake here. >> okay. a lot of money at stake. we mentioned katherine jackson. she is 82. she's in arizona. she's okay. but my question is, what would happen, sunny, if katherine jackson was no longer able to care for michael jackson's three kids? what then? >> well, some are reporting that and interestingly enough that diana ross is sort of this secondary guardian of these children. we are hearing also that tj jackson, tito's son, has moved for temporary legal guardianship of the children. we don't know -- we haven't verified that. but we are hearing different things. and, you know, these kids aren't of age yet. we have 14 years old, 13 years old and 9 years old. and so, you know, their care is something that's certainly at

issue. and it seems that paris is really sort of staking her position in the ground and feels very close to her grandmother. and is saying, again, by tweet, whoever's responsible for this, keeping me from my grandmother will have to pay. >> yeah. taking it very publicly on twitter. sunny, we'll watch it. sunny, thank you so much. the jackson family drama unfolding. here's something interesting. when iphone sales fall, business improves for two of the country's largest cell phone companies. you have at&t and verizon. and in just a matter of minutes we are expecting to get apple's third quarter earnings. will it be a boom? will it be a bust?

that's the 4g. we have an indication of apple sales from earning out from verizon and at&t because both of those carriers already said that their iphone sales fell. but it really is ipad sales that everybody's got their eye on. $16 million that's the number we are looking for here in the latest three months. 16 million ipads sold. we will see if that comes true, brooke. >> that's incredible. we also note in addition to apple couple other companies releasing earnings today. what are we looking for? >> we already mentioned at&t. earnings better than expected but down more than 2%. one investors are paying attention today is u.p.s. their report card reflects what's going on around the world. the slowdown in economies that's happening. u.p.s. shares getting hit hard down more than 4%. for u.p.s. look deep in the report they say fewer exports coming from asia to the united states and europe. so that's why u.p.s. shares down almost 5%. overall adding to a pretty gloomy day on wall street. looking like it could be the
