with a lawsuit. boehner says that the president violated the constitution when he changed his signature health care law. >> the white house calls this a stunt. the president says republican leaders would rather trade blame than come up with solutions. administration officials say they think things could get worse on the border unless they get the $3.7 billion in emergency funding they requested. >> caught in the middle is the unaccompanied minors that have crossed the texas border. that number is expected to go up to 90,000 by september. >> they're willing to make this long and dangerous trek. many of them to escape bigger dangers facing them at home. we're talking crime, violence, corruption. extreme poverty. >> we have a reporter standing by covering the crisis as only cnn can. ana cabrera is in mexico, but we begin first with the mexican border report. >> we know that many of the children, many of the immigrants have to cross the rio grande to get to the u.s. and we have been talking all week about 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, it's very difficult to keep up with what's going on here. this is the rio grande. nearly 1,900 miles long and now the battleground of an immigration crisis hitting the u.s. it's where a flood of undocumented immigrants are crossing into texas every single day. we wanted to get a first hand look, so we headed out on a boat with johnny hart who has lived on the river for more than three decades. >> it's just a routine deal when we're out here touring the river that we see the crossings. >> reporter: it didn't take long to 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 women and children. >> reporter: you have seen them on the river? >> yes. >> reporter: on rafts? >> yes. >> reporter: u.s. law enforcement boats 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 drop-off 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, four people who appeared to be detained. not long after, a bus shows up. perhaps suggesting more than just four were in the hands of u.s. border patrol. now locals in this area describe the situation as a constant battle of wit between mexican smugglers and u.s. authorities. they say what we saw yesterday is something they see every day. >> alita, what an interesting look, truly on the front lines now of this as it's going on. these patrol boats, how often are they out there on the river? >> reporter: very often, john. we have been here for several days. i have to say probably every hour we see several boats coming up and down the river and i have to say i don't think i have ever seen such a strong law enforcement presence in a town, in an area. i mean, you can't go very far in town without seeing either a local police officer, a sheriff's deputy. a border patrol agent in the area. so it's very significant, john. >> and that's just one area that alita is. there's a lot of area that our u.s. border touches the mexican border and there are areas that are more porous than others. the president wants more resources sent down there. this afternoon, the home land security secretary will get a firsthand look at this crisis at the border. >> jeh johnson is visiting a place that's warehousing the undocumented people. >> so what can you tell us about this? >> this is one of the temporary facilities set up to accommodate the overflow of the undocumented immigrants that are going into texas illegally, coming from central america. they can't be turned away. so we know they have set up facilities at military bases and temporary housing facilities at warehouses. this is one of them. a federal law enforcement training center here in artesia, new mexico. a couple hundred miles north of the border. this is not a facility that's dealing with the initial immigration. it's the secondary facility where they're being bussed from texas to here. women and children are coming here. already more than 200 have arrived in the last couple of week since this facility opened to them. they can sleep up to 672 people at this center and so we're being told by immigration and customs enforcement officials that they anticipate a lot more to come here. here's the big difference from what we are seeing at some of the facilities in texas where you see the processing centers that have really created a lot of outrage about the humanitarian crisis. here it's more like a dorm like campus feel. they get to have their families together. they sleep in a dorm room. they're given food. they have access to refrigerators, snacks. they have clothing. children can play outside. they're even -- there are even teachers who come here and help to educate the children for the duration of their stay. it's a temporary facility, so they're only staying, michaela and john, until they're deported or they have their day in immigration court. >> all right. ana cabrera there, looking at the immigrant facility. a temporary one as she said, housing some of the people that are in the midst of the process. they so much for that. obviously we'll stay on top of the story. we want to look at other headlines. violence in the middle east es ka lating -- escalating. a rocket landed near a northern israeli town. >> i hear the sirens and we're being told to get to a shelter. >> and near the border with gaza, wolf blitzer had to run to the air ride shelter to escape rockets fired by hamas. we'll have more details later this hour. a series of letters released by the military. it has been reveal that would the prisoner swap for bowe bergdahl was supported by top military leaders. president obama's decision to exchange five taliban detainees for bergdahl came under some criticism. sad news to report about a child that was said to have been cured of hiv. the virus has returned. that little girl in mississippi now 4 got a powerful drug cocktail when she was first born and until last week she had no signs of hiv. the doctor who first treated her said finding out it returned was like a punch to the gut. doctors say the little girl's case is still important of what they learned. >> you can hear the researchers are so hurt. and check this out, some thought it was a meteor. but it turned out to be space junk. from the russians soyuz rocket. it burned up in the atmosphere. check it out right there. that's an amazing the -- that really is. >> a big issue. >> usually you hear about concerns about re-entry, you get that from the space shuttle also. they try to keep their eyes on it. came back into the atmosphere. almost always burns up. >> you get a site like that, that's something else to see. ahead, disturbing details emerging, hundreds of push-ups, chin-ups, that's what the 12-year-old detroit boy found in his basement was forced to do every day, twice a day, seven days a week. now the state wants to take away his father's parental rights. we can find out any second, will lebron james be headed back to cleveland? is he going back to south beach? we'll speak to a cleveland fan who burned lebron's jersey after he left four years ago. now he says, oh, he'll dig up those ashes if he comes back. that's ahead in this hour. veggies you're cool... reworking the menu. mayo, corn dogs...you are so out of here! ahh... the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. 24 vitamins and minerals. 9 grams of protein... with 30% less sugars than before. ensure, your #1 dr. recommended brand now introduces ensure active. muscle health. clear protein drink and high protein. targeted nutrition to feed your active life. ensure. take life in. ♪he cadillac summer collection is here. ♪ during the cadillac summer's best event, lease this 2014 ats for around $299 a month and make this the summer of style. ♪ good to have you back with us at this hour. a big question this week is what to do with tens of thousands of undocumented children that have crossed the border. >> some people obviously extremely angry about bus loads of these children coming into their towns. >> it's not right. now billions of dollars want to be borrowed from the white house to help feed and house them. what about the [ bleep ] kids here? in our neighborhoods, in our country? >> she's not the only one feeling this way. our kim law has a look at two cities that are housing undocumented immigrants with two drastically different reactions. >> reporter: the indelible image in murrieta, california. >> go back to mexico! >> reporter: blocking the three buses. the buses, forced to turn around. >> not in murrieta. >> reporter: almost 200 miles away, planes from texas land, bearing mostly undocumented women and children. they move to buses which arrive to the open and quiet border patrol station in el centro. in this town, they're moved to local charities, temporarily sheltering the women and children and even helped to hers like rudy and mother to board buses to washington state. two cities in the same state, same issue. two completely different reactions. demographics may help explain why. murrieta sits more than 85 miles from the international border. the bedroom community of san diego is relatively affluent with only 7% of households below the poverty line. el centro is a stone's throw from the border. over 80% is latino. its economy struggles with 25% below the poverty line. >> when you watch television and you see what's happening in murrieta what is your impression of that? >> i think it's pretty sad. >> reporter: el centro's mayor pro tem is himself a mexican immigrant. his city he says is on the front line of the border crisis. and sees a desperation up close. are they thinking of the people on the bus in your opinion? >> they're thinking about them but in the wrong way from my perspective. i don't necessarily condone the activities, but again, it's not us to decide what happens to them. it's up to us to provide an environment that's safe and healthy. >> reporter: why is it in towns like el centro they're not having the same sort of reaction as murrieta is? >> apples and oranges. >> reporter: the mayor says you can't compare the two cities, they're too different. he believes the ugliest elements of the protests are not from his residents, but outsiders coming in. >> the world never got to see the compassion that murrieta has and what we're known for. >> reporter: is it possible that the buses will come and that we will see compassion here? >> well, you know, right now we're still a destination point. border patrol is still not talking to us much. >> reporter: a tale of two city, two reactions to a border crisis that's not going away. kim law, cnn, california. >> the san diego area will not be getting any more buses full of undocumented immigrants for the time being. there's a reduced backlog and that can texas can handle the overflow. he says it doesn't have anything to do with the protests that were held there earlier this week. for us at this hour, israeli troops lining the border, hamas saying it's ready for battle. have we reached the tipping point in the middle east? and ahead also, she's hired a lawyer now while her husband is behind bars. charged with murder of their toddler. the latest in the hot car death of cooper harris, next. (son) oh no... can you fix it, dad? yeah, i can fix that. (dad) i wanted a car that could handle anything. i fixed it! (dad) that's why i got a subaru legacy. (vo) symmetrical all-wheel drive plus 36 mpg. i gotta break more toys. (vo) introducing the all-new subaru legacy. it's not just a sedan. it's a subaru. new developments in the death of a georgia toddler left in a hot car. the child's father has been fired now from his job at home depot. meanwhile, hundreds of newly discovered internet postings are emerging. >> and the child's mother leanna harris has hired her own lawyer and reportedly left georgia. i wanted to discuss the new developments further with former criminal prosecutor. good to have you back. we have been following this along with you. you give us your insight. what is your insight about the fact -- his employment has been terminated by home depot and then we'll get to the internet postings? because they're mind-boggling. >> seems to be a no-brainer to fire him. he's sexting at work while he's supposed to be working. that is enough a fireable offense and then what he did to his child, i can't imagine them keeping him on the payroll. >> and it's come about the sexting -- >> the activities at work. >> no office would tolerate that behavior. he's supposed on the working. it was an underage girl. of course they'll fire him. >> the more we see of the internet stuff, this gets to the second life, the possibility of motive. but none of it a slam dunk or a smoking gun. >> right, but it adds to the whole picture. he have looking up internet postings about having a child free life, about dating other people. it adds to that. it doesn't prove he committed murder. but another piece of evidence. >> let's talk about the mother for a second. she has a lawyer right now. now, there are people who look at this and go, oh, she's lawyering up. what does she have to hide? but as a lawyer, you would say this is something that's essential to do, i would imagine. >> of course. when someone hires a lawyer, people think she has something to hide, but she's being investigated for a murder and her husband is being prosecuted for murder. she would be a fool not to retain a attorney. she needs legal advice on what to say to the police. >> different lawyer than her husband? >> it would be a conflict if it was the same lawyer representing them. she may testify against him. >> you wonder what the lawyer would have told about going to visit her husband and the fact that the conversations between her husband who is in jail and she who is out of jail would be recorded. let's turn to another story. we have been watching this story for several weeks now, this disturbing story out of detroit about the young boy who was missing for something like 11 days and then he was found in his father's basement. we want to play with you the reaction. he was live -- the father was live with our nancy grace when he was told that his son was found in his basement. then we'll discuss some developments. >> you're telling us that you searched your basement and your wife searched your basement? >> i searched my basement, my wife searched my basement. the fbi searched the basement. the detroit police searched my basement. >> so we watched the day after it happened, and we all felt certain ways about that. but now we're hearing from the documents that we're getting from investigators about what this little boy had to endure. he had to do a hundred sit-ups, 200 push-ups. this incredible amount of workout for a 12-year-old boy, twice a day, seven days a week, he main beaten with a pvc pipe. when you hear all that, it's so upsetting. you look at that father's reaction. how do you reconcile this? >> it's a bizarre case, i have never seen anything like it. there are injuries that corroborate that. there was blood found on a pipe in the home. but the fact that the fbi and the police searched -- >> the basement? >> multiple times and didn't find this child who was there for 11 day, apparently the stepmother ordered him to hide behind a barricade, it's a strange situation. >> they're being investigated at this point, both parents. >> right. but there's powerful evidence of child endangerment here. you have injuries to the child that are corroborating his story of being abused. the police will take their time to put everything together, but i'd be surprised if that's not child endangerment charges. >> and that little boy will have a long road to recover, learn how to trust again. >> absolutely. he'll need therapy. how do you overcome such an ordeal that he's allegedly experienced and it seems he did. >> dan shorr, thanks for being with us. ahead of this hour, president obama says so sue me. well, house speaker john boehner is. he's moving forward with the lawsuit. but the question is will it help or hurt the republican party?

wahlberg said i'm the guy doing my job. you must be the other guy. >> president obama luckily choosing one of the few lines that mark wahlberg used in the film that was filled with swears. the president believes he's doing his job and republicans don't think the same. the speaker's lawsuit will focus on the president's changes to the health care law. the decision to delay the employer mandate that was passed in the legislation the president decided to put it off for a year. >> the house speaker says that should have been left to congress. let's bring in our political commentators, maria cardona and royham salan. i believe he's in l.a. maria, why don't we talk to you. let's start here at home since you're in the studio with us. what should the course of action be for the president? >> i think he does what he's doing now which is focusing on what he's trying to get done for the american public. look, i agree with one thing that boehner said when he talked about his suit against the president. he said that this isn't about suing the president. he's right about that. this is not about suing the president. this is about a very focused, get out the vote campaign for republicans in november. they are talking to the most extreme base in their party, and this is something that gets them riled up. they did a fund-raising letter right after boehner decided to sue. the issue is not the issue. because in fact, republicans in congress were trying to pass legislation to do exactly what the president did and delaying the employer mandate. republicans -- americans see this for what this is. they see this republican party as obstructionists. we have seen poll after poll. their numbers are in the toilet. they do not do anything other than oppose and obstruct this president as he's trying to find solutions to the problems that are facing this country. >> the president's numbers not so great either. you know? >> republicans would kill for those kind of numbers though, john. >> deep in the toilet, but still around the rim -- >> kill for where the president is right now. >> is the speaker giving the president though an opportunity to make some political hay? we saw him speaking last night when he was quoting "the departed." he looked to me more energized and more in the game than in the last few weeks. almost as if he welcomes this fight. we have seen presidents going back to truman attacking a do nothing congress. does this give him the ammunition that he may want here? >> i think that makes a lot of sense for the president because he doesn't have any agenda any more. the fact that republicans tried to pass actual legislation delaying the employer mandate is different than taking a pure executive action. it's why it's important that congress does this. despite the fact that many democratic senators would have embraced it is that the allies were very afraid of what would happen if you opened up obamacare again. why were they afraid? because there are many democrats who would have gone back and actually changed much about the legislation as well. they didn't want to open that pandora's box. rather than go through the classic process, you know the song -- yes, i'm a bill, just only a bill, that's how we make change, we didn't go through that process. and republicans are doing it for for political reasons, but to protect the institutions of congress. when there's a republican president and a democratic house, do democrats want the president to make these changes unilaterally without going through the regular constitutional order? that makes a ton of sense as a precedent. >> that would be a good point if this president hadn't signed so many less executive actions than president bush did. less -- i think president bush did more than 100 than what president bush has done. look, this is an administrative action that this president is taking. by the way, it's in the constitution he has this ability to do it. it happens when presidents are implementing the laws that are passed by congress. president bush did it when he delayed the medicare part "d" in his own legislation. so republicans -- this is other thing where republicans are in trouble they see the hypocrisy here. they see the hypocrisy and opposing everything that president obama is trying to do even when at one point the things that president obama is proposing are things that republicans supported. including the health care law. >> you know, we had on -- come on, help me -- >> ana navarro. >> yes. you have to understand you have three more years -- >> yes, i was on this segment. >> that's an interesting point that she was making. at some point, it has to be more than just about the fight. there has to be compromise, there has to be coming together, sitting down and working these things out. the american people are going to be very frustrated by watching this back and forth. how do we move forward from it? >> i think you make a great point, but i want to remind everyone of one little thing, okay? the supreme court justices don't always agree on everything. i think we'd agree with that. >> absolutely. >> they're not usually 9-0. recently they were united 9-0 to rebuke president obama for making recess appointments when it wasn't appropriate. president obama said i can define when a recess happens, congress has no role in that. i can make the appointments whenever i want and the supreme court said, slow down, wait a minute. there are many people who agree that this president has gone too far in abusing his executive power. that's not about democrats and republicans. that's about our system of government. i think that the future of democrats when they're going to try to restrain a republican president are going to appreciate that. >> could have a judge weighing in on this some time soon. >> thanks for helping me keep my anas straight too. >> we talked about the politics and the republicans are going to cleveland for their convention. will lebron james be joining them? coming up, the big issue. the big -- we won't call it a decision because that has other connotations. is he going back to cleveland or not? will it happen during our next segment? >> how do you unburn a jersey? >> we'll talk to one fan. he said he'll unburn it when he comes back. >> i don't know how you do that. slams into your brand new car. one second it wasn't there and the next second... boom! you've had your first accident. now you have to make your first claim. so you talk to your insurance company and... boom! you're blindsided for a second time. they won't give you enough money to replace your brand new car. don't those people know you're already shaken up?

>> oh, very. he won't do it to us. >> so nowhere is this issue more crucial than in the city of cleveland, ohio. that is where lebron james decided to leave four years ago and when he made that decision, cavaliers fans felt betrayed and they showed it. >> yeah. like this guy. his name is jason haren. he torched number 23 jersey up. that lit up the web as a symbolic act of cutting cleveland's ties with the basketball great. fast forward four years, and well, it appears things have changed. let us go to cleveland now. there he is, jason haren. is all forgiven, my man? ready to welcome lebron back? >> we're on pins and needle, michaela. two nights ago we'd find out, and then it was last night and now it's friday afternoon. we don't know anything. i was hoping you could tell me what was going on. >> we could find out within minutes really here. we'll bring that to you live the second it happens. can you unburn a jersey? >> you know, i was thinking about that before we came on air. like if you found out your ex-girlfriend broke up with you on national tv and left you for a better looking guy, of course you'd do things you'll regret. we burned his jersey, i think we have grown up in four years. i think dan gilbert is regretting that letter. we made mistakes. we're ready to move on hopefully with james. >> we have grown up, ready to move on. what if he chooses not to come to cleveland? >> burn again. >> reburn the burned jersey? >> this isn't this the same cleveland as four years ago, we have the republican convention coming, we have johnny manziel, we have kyrie irving who we re-signed. we got andrew wiggins. there's a lot to look forward to in cleveland with or without lebron. but obviously it would be a fairy tale ending if he came home and brought us a championship. >> what is your gut telling you? i imagine if you're a cleveland fan, your gut rarely kind of is filled with optimism. >> well, we were optimistic two days ago and now, you know, now it's -- the old cleveland is kind of crawling back up in me a little bit. but i can't imagine him doing this to us twice. you know? this is his home. his kids are going to go school in akron. you know, the gymnasium there is called lebron james gymnasium. i'm sure that's where he wants his kids to two to school. he wants to retire here. he's got a beautiful mansion in bath outside of akron. if he does this to us again i don't know if he can come home. if you're watching, please come home, lebron. >> you have an opportunity most would kill for. come on, look right into the camera. talk right at lebron. he may be watching from an airport lounge on the way to the world cup. >> lebron, this is cleveland, ohio. your home. we're waiting for you, buddy. i mean, you can win as many championships as you can in miami. but that won't mean nearly as much as one would in cleveland. that would cement your legacy as the greatest of all time with michael jordan, maybe better. he's the one guy that i think with the team we have in place that can win a championship and maybe multiple championships. i know it's crazy with never having won one, but the talent we have and him being the best player in the world that will put us over the top. lebron, time to come home. >> since you're making public service announcements we'll allow you to address the owner of the cleveland cavaliers, dan gilbert. how far do you think he should go to get lebron james? be begging in public be in order? >> you know, dan has done everything. he's put all this young talent around. he brought this exciting coach over from europe who they're saying is like the next great popovich which is the greatest coach in the nba. he's built this team, you know, kept the cap room for lebron james. yesterday, we just traded three players away and we got nothing in return so we could open the salary cap to get lebron back. danny gilbert is great for the city of cleveland. he has a casino right by the arena. they call him the bruce wayne of cleveland. so imagine the press conference if lebron re-signs here in cleveland. it would be the most watched press conference ever. >> i know you -- i think you work in auto sales, but i'm thinking you might need to start yourself an internet radio show, you have some talent and i love the way you speak. thanks so much, jason, for joining us. thanks for sharing your passion not only for the sport of nba and lebron, but your city. >> thank you. come home, lebron. >> i want it for jason. how can you hurt this man again?

so they get to watch the games but for a huge chunk of our time, local charities that are working with children and how can we help you? that is going to be three classrooms. to come and do this for us, for the children, this is a world cup spirit. >> and brazil, we've got about three volunteers here, from about 12 countries. within a couple of days of being part of the team, we're working really hard. >> when we invest in the players, it's for the long term. lots of guys come in and get it in their blood. that's what i'm about. this is my second. this time my son has come with me. a bit of bonding and just building things together. i know you're not get -- i know you're tired out, but look at how far we have come in a week. fantastic. futbol has already broken down the barriers. we are trying to harness the fans and try to make a difference. >> way to harness it. to nominate a hero, cnnheroes.com. ♪ you want to save money on car insurance?

look, we're looking at the new figure, 100 people dead in gaza. is this turning into a lopsided battle? we haven't seen the casualty count remotely close to that on the other side. >> yes, there's always more casualties on the palestinian side because the palestinians are in this much more concentrated area, nowhere for them to go. they don't have the shelter system, the warning system that the israelis do. and, you know, the israelis want to inflict casualties on hamas. unfortunately, in that environment you're going to kill a lot of civilians. it's just -- it's just no way to get around that. no matter what they do. >> the president, president obama, called the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu, and tried to broker a cease-fire. if you're israel right now, if you're hamas right now, what do you need to have happen, so you can achieve what you want to achieve? >> they need some reason to stop. somebody has to blink. is it going to be hamas,s it going to be the israelis? until that happens, this is going to go on. we may see a ground incursion that i don't think anybody really wants, but they feel that they have to, because no one's willing to back down. in the long term, nothing will come out of this. it will end up like it ended in 2009, like it ended in 2012. there will be a temporary cease-fire. we'll go for another year, another two years, and then we'll be doing this again. the underlying problem is between hamas and the israelis are not going to go away. >> so let's talk about this. the ground incursion is looking or sounding somewhat imminent? what is it going to look like? >> i'm thinking in the next few days. because they've mobilized all of these reservists. the israeli economy suffers when they mobilize reservists. so when they mobilize that many, they either have to go or send them home. if they go, it will be fast. it will be violent. the way they always do. they'll go in, they'll cut gaza in half. they'll roll it up from there. they'll go after the rocket launchers and hamas. unfortunately, where they are is going to be tremendous amount of civilian casualties. >> we talk about this being a cycle, it happens every year or two. in 2006 when this was happening with hamas hezbollah and lebanon launched rockets from the north, from lebanon into israel. >> the '06 was the war between hezbollah and israel. >> right, i was there, and you saw israel caught in the middle of what became a two-front war. overnight, a rocket came into israel from lebanon. what kind of a risk does that pose? >> this presents a real problem for the israeli defense strategy. now they have to look at how they're deploying the iron dome. will they move it further north to protect northern cities? >> then it leaving your flank exposed. >> they only have so many batteries. i think it's around five. so they can protect five areas about the size of manhattan. you have to pick where those are. this complicates efforts to do that. then are they going to launch an invasion into southern lebanon as well? this splits their defense effort. this is classic strategy. who's pulling the strings in this? the iranians? the syrians? i don't know. >> all right, lieutenant colonel, thank you. could be a long weekend in that region. our man wolf blitzer reports live from jerusalem at 1:00 eastern on "wolf" and he'll be there for "the situation room" as well. >> pope versus pope? how's that work? pope francis from argentina, pope benedict from germany, so who will catholics root for? the pope or the former pope. will either team get some divine intervention from the big referee upstairs?

>> very much so. i think william grew up in the fish bowl that is the royal family and he's going to want to protect george from it as long as possible. george stands to be the first monarchy of the 22nd century. he has a lifetime of service and duty. and so i think william and kate, they understand that, to a degree, they are publicly bound, as far as duty's concerned, to share george with the world. but at the same time, they want him to have a normal childhood. >> you make an important point. i've been joking a little bit about all he's accomplished. he's a 1-year-old baby. but it is his parents and the family who have done this and managed this to an extent. i'm sure they want to raise him in the perfect way that any parent would. they're also raising a future king and a public figure. >> it was quite interesting to see him on the play date in australia. there's this idea that they're closeted away at kensington palace and he can only play with upper crust babies. yet kate plunked him down with regular children from regular families. george was stealing toys, making them cry. he seemed very confident. what was nice for william and kate, they didn't rush in and try to rectify the situation. >> they weren't helicopter parents. >> right, they just let the baby be a baby. >> i think they probably do own a helicopter. >> could literally be -- >> he may fly helicopters. >> talk of a second child in the "vanity fair" article. >> talk of a second baby started the minute they left the hospital. this is just going to be kate's cross to bear during her baby years. yes, certainly, there will be another child at some point. william and harry are two years apart. kate and pippa are two years apart. they're going to want their family to be close and enjoy each other's company. at the same time, i don't think there's any rush. they're enjoying george as he is right now. they've got a lot on their plate with the rest of the year in store. so perhaps the end of the year, they might start talk about another baby. >> what will he do next? what will this prince george do next that will shock us all? great to have you here with us. >> spotlight the little prince airs tonight right here on cnn. >> i like the royals. >> i know you do. >> and this prince. >> and the world cup. >> another big story we can't stop talking about. germany faces off against argentina on sunday. >> catholic fans, do they cheer for argentina, the homeland of pope francis, or do they back germany, the native country of pope benedict xvi? >> earlier, pope francis, huge soccer fan, had this to say, it's going to be war. >> i can't wait to see. maybe they'll be tweets. >> but francis, you know, showed up to games. he was really into soccer when he was in argentina. i want this for him. >> wait, do you want that for the pope and you want the cleveland thing for jason?
