Zimmerman Juror B37 Speaks Out
CONAN O'BRIEN, HOST, "CONAN": The first President Bush, the elder President Bush, visited the White House yesterday. At the White House yesterday, former president, George H.W. Bush, gave President Obama a pair of socks. That's right, yes. That's nice, yes. President Obama thanked him and said the last time I got a gift from the Republicans, it was Mitt Romney.</s>JAY LENO, HOST, "THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO": Last week, President Obama told a group of schoolchildren that broccoli was his favorite food which the kids seemed to believe him. Then he told them Obamacare would reduce the deficit and the kids all burst out laughing.</s>BOLDUAN: That is actually pretty good. No, H.W. does have some good socks.</s>BOLDUAN: Their entire website is tracking his sock selections.</s>CUOMO: Really?</s>BOLDUAN: Yes. He's got some nice socks.</s>CUOMO: Who knew? The brightest stars in baseball gathered last night in New York City for the all-star game. Let's bring in Andy Scholes with the "Bleacher Report" this morning, and it was hot, but it was a great game, great moment for one big star. Tell us about it.</s>ANDY SCHOLES, BLEACHER REPORT: Hey, good morning, guys. The all-star game in baseball considered by many as the best all-star game in all sports. It's not just an exhibition. The winner, of course, secures their league home field advantage in the World Series. That's a pretty big deal. To decide to win the all-star, last four all-star games had gone on to win the World Series. Mets Ace Matt Harvey getting the start for the National League on his home field, second batter of the game ouch, drills Robinson Cano in the knee. Cano would leave the game, but he's expected to be OK. While it was a rough night for Cano, his teammate, Mariano Rivera, would have one last hurrah in the midsummer classic. Rivera who is retiring at the end of the season came in to pitch the eighth inning for the American League. His teammate left him alone on the field and gave him a standing ovation to start the inning. The 43-year-old would record three straight outs and even though he didn't get the save, Rivera was named the MVP of the game as the American League got the win 3-0. All right, guys. Take a look at this Carolina Panthers Nike T-shirt and tell me if you can see what's wrong with it? Panthers logo and the letters NC are inside the wrong state.</s>BOLDUAN: OK. I am vindicated. I said that's not North Carolina. And everyone's like you got to be wrong, Kate.</s>SCHOLES: The team plays in Charlotte, North Carolina. Nike, they realized the mistake and they took all the shirts off the racks and apologize for the error.</s>BOLDUAN: I would say, but now, that's a collector's item.</s>SCHOLES: Yes. You have to buy it on eBay now.</s>BOLDUAN: Yes, exactly.</s>CUOMO: Good stuff. Andy Scholes, thank you very much, my friend.</s>BOLDUAN: Thanks, Andy.</s>CUOMO: Always appreciate "The Bleacher Report."</s>BOLDUAN: You hear it? You hear it?</s>CUOMO: I do hear that. The music of news.</s>BOLDUAN: The music of news, and also, that means it's time for the "Rock Block," a quick roundup of the stories that'll be making headlines this morning -- Michaela.</s>PEREIRA: It's a rock and news. All right. Here we go, first in the papers of "The Washington Post," job cuts at the Pentagon, defense secretary, Chuck Hagel, calling for 20 percent reduction in senior staff both military and civilian by 2019. And from the "New York Times," a new British study finds dementia rates declining by 25 percent over the past two decades in the UK and Wales. Researchers believe the same thing is happening in all developed countries. And "USA" reporting on Jay-Z's new mega hit "Magna Carta." It's his 13th number one album. That's a record. Remember, Jay-Z gave away a million "Magna Carta's" already. All right. Time now for Christine Romans with your business news.</s>CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: Good morning. Ninety minutes and counting, that's when Ben Bernanke's testimony gets released. Wall Street is salivating. The fed chairman speaks at 10:00 a.m. but the snooping starts at 8:30. When its comments are released, it could move market. Remember Booz Allen? That's the firm where Edward Snowden worked when he leaked top secret info? The "Wall Street Journal" says Booz just won its first major military contract since then a piece of a billion- dollar project. Yahoo! doesn't have much to cheer about. In an unusual anchor-style news conference, CEO, Marissa Meyer, she marked her one-year anniversary and talked about earnings. Profit was up, the sales were stagnant. Let's get to Indra Petersons outside in a Times Square for the hot weather -- Indra.</s>INDRA PETERSONS, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Yes. That's an understatement. The heat is still on. We're talking about advisories say a large metropolitan city stretching from Southern New England all the way down to Philadelphia, but that's not all today. This is spreading even farther to the west as high pressure builds. You're talking about Detroit and even on Minneapolis. So, really, entire Ohio Valley and now into the Midwest dealing with the heat. We're talking temperatures 95 degrees, add in the humidity, and it feels like over 100 degrees.</s>BOLDUAN: All right. Thanks so much, Indra. We're going to check back with you in just a minute, but we are now at the top of the hour which means it's time for the top news.</s>CUOMO: Too hot to handle. Temperatures spiking across the country in an epic heat wave that just won't let up. One county now with no water. When will the heat break?</s>BOLDUAN: CNN exclusive, new details from juror B37 in the George Zimmerman trial. There was a lone holdout who wanted to convict. This as four other jurors make their first public comments.</s>PEREIRA: Toxic mix, the investigation into the death of "Glee" actor, Cory Monteith, now complete. New revelations on his struggles with drugs and alcohol and how they led to his death.</s>CUOMO: Your NEW DAY starts right now.</s>ANNOUNCER: What you need to know.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We must stand our ground to ensure that our laws reduce violence.</s>ANNOUNCER: What you just have to see.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Agree to pay the fine and let you go if you take his hand in marriage?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, my gosh, yes. Oh, my God.</s>ANNOUNCER: This is NEW DAY with Chris Cuomo, Kate Bolduan, and Michaela Pereira.</s>CUOMO: Good morning, good morning. Welcome, everybody. This is NEW DAY. It's Wednesday, July 17th, seven o'clock in the east. I'm Chris Cuomo.</s>BOLDUAN: Hey, everyone. I'm Kate Bolduan. We're joined by news anchor, Michaela Pereira.</s>PEREIRA: Good morning.</s>BOLDUAN: Coming up this hour, much more from that incredible exclusive CNN interview with the only George Zimmerman juror speaking out. Her shocking revelations about the last day of deliberations, was there a holdout?</s>CUOMO: And it is the case that is putting Florida's stand your ground law under the microscope, not the Zimmerman trial as we now know stand your ground wasn't the reason for that verdict, it's a story about a mother spending 20 years in jail for firing a warning shot at her allegedly abusive husband. Is that fair? Story's taking over social media. We're going to take a close look at it.</s>PEREIRA: And guess what, the government is not the only one spying on you, retailers tracking your movements as you move through their stores but how and why.</s>CUOMO: Let's get started this morning with something that's affecting tens of millions right now, that dangerous heat wave that just isn't letting up. Let's take a look at the map and look at all of that deep red. You can see how many states across the country are going to be sweating it out well into the weekend. Indra Petersons is outside of New York's Times Square. Good morning, Indra. Tell us about it.</s>PETERSONS: Good morning. Yes. This dangerous heat wave continues even in the overnight hours really not seeing that relief. Temperatures still into the 80s with 70 percent humidity, and unfortunately, it looks like this heat wave is spreading today. Take a look.</s>PETERSONS (voice-over): The heat is on. Dangerous temperatures are scorching much of the nation from the Midwest all the way to the northeast. The heat can be deadly. This year alone, excessive temperatures have taken the lives of nearly 20 children left alone in hot cars.
