tv   CNN Newsroom With Miguel Marquez  CNN  July 13, 2014 2:00pm-3:01pm PDT

2:00 pm
these guys are taking care of me here. that's the difference. >> so it's really exciting when there's no score? >> oh, my god. these guys are killing each other. it's unbelievable. it's just run, run, run. the most amazing game ever. many i'm literally going to -- my heart is going to pop out of my chest at any moment now. >> no, please, let's not let that happen. >> that would be bad. >> yeah, that would be pretty nasty. you have fun with it. now i get a chance to watch the game and get into it. >> go get it. they're still playing. >> okay. well i'm out. bye, miguel. >> take care. >> ciao. >> you're in the cnn newsroom, i'm miguel marquez. we're waiting for the world cup championship match to conclude. when it does, we'll take you live to rio. the winning and losing countries. even a watch party right here in the usa. plus a member of team usa joins us live. all of that ahead. but first we're focusing overseas. israel is warning people in gaza
2:01 pm
to get themselves and their families far away from places important to the militant group hamas because it's not safe. they could be bombed at any time. so far those have not been empty warnings. the israeli military says it has struck more than 1300 targets. what they call terror targets over the past few days. according to palestinian health officials 168 people most civilians have been killed. an appeal today from the pope. stop migfighting in the middle t and continue working towards peace. pope francis said from the vatic vatican. the pope met with both leaders last month. john kerry and benjamin netanyahu spoke by phone today. the israeli leader stressed his country's right to defend itself against rockets launched from gaza. kerry offered to help facilitate
2:02 pm
a cease-fire. let's talk about that, the diplomacy, the help from outside now that it's been offered. michael orrin is not only cnn's middle east analyst, he used to be israel's ambassador to the united states. mr. ambassador, thanks for coming back. your thoughts? clearly the drumbeat of diplomacy has ticked the up, but do you see it taking any sort of effect? >> good to be with you, miguel. you wouldn't think it likely now as a time for a diplomatic breakthrough. 40,000 israeli soldiers gathered along the gaza border prepared to go into the gaza strip to ferret out hamas rocket launchers. they've fired 900 rockets at israel since the beginning of this operation. even rockets from lebanon today striking israel in the north. not the likeliest moment for diplomatic breakthrough. yet there is an opportunity here. i believe that a ceasefire
2:03 pm
similar to that one achieved in the last round of fighting, november 2012, there was a simultaneous cease-fire between israel and hamas, but beyond that, taking the example of what america achieved in removing the chemical weapons from syria. remember how that was done? peacefully. there was a threat of force. the force wasn't used. to take that model and apply it to gaza. to bring american inspectors to gaza, to remove the arsenal. in return, israel would ease the maritime blockade it has held on gaza now for several years. that would definitely ease the hardship of the civil -- civilian population of gaza. there could be an international aid package for the civilian residents of gaza and there could be steps even to strengthen the palestinian authority and other palestinian moderates by bringing in policemen who have been trained by the united states from the west bank to guard some of the crossings from israel into the gaza and even perhaps from egypt
2:04 pm
into gaza. it's not a perfect arrangement, but it would change the status quo and put us all on a more stable and secure footing. >> that sounds like -- look, it sounds great to talk about. it sounds very unlikely when you talk about the practicality of all this. because of the number of troops on that border right now, the israeli troops on that border, because hamas has now used these longer range rockets and presumably would use others that could hit tel aviv, isn't it necessary for israel to now move in and take those rockets out themselves? >> well, because hamas is very weak and isolated in the region, hamas used to have support from egypt, from syria, from iran, it no longer does. nobody likes hamas. the saudis don't like hamas, the kuwaitis don't like hamas. very isolated. the economy in the west bank is almost devastated and has been for a long time because of hamas
2:05 pm
mismanagement. hamas really has got its back up against the wall. on the other hand, israel does not want to send its army into gaza. that means casualties for israeli soldiers, inflicting great numbers of civilian casualties among the palestinian population. international condemnations. we all remember what happened back in 2009 when israel was accused of war crimes for the last time it send troops into gaza. both sides are interested in backing down and finding an agreement. i've written about this on cnn.com in the opinion pages. it's there, the plan, taking that syrian model, getting the chemical weapons out of syria, how that can be used to help end the crisis and put us on a more stable footing in gaza. >> baby michael oren, thank you for staying up late for us. we hope you're enjoying the game there. but there's a lot of work to come in this. thank you very much. people who live in gaza are
2:06 pm
in a unique situation. they generally can't leave their own country. they have two borders, israel and egypt. neither of which is open to gaza resident. even if they wanted to leave, it's impossible. health officials now say 168 people have been killed in gaza, more than 1100 have been injured. rockets still flying into israel. air strikes still happening. overnight quite a few. in your estimation, what is the key to stopping this back and forth and getting this back to some sort of negotiating settlement? >> it's interesting that you mention the ongoing game to ambassador oren there. just last week, just to give you an example of what the people in gaza are going through, palestinians who were watching the world cup game, the semifinal on the beach at a cafe were struck by an israeli air strike. nine civilians were killed.
2:07 pm
there's an ongoing bombardment here of the civilian population. while there are projectiles going in both directions, there's absolutely no parity in the level of force that's being used against a vastly civilian population. i think the point that the ambassador makes is fundament fundamentally flawed because it completely misunderstands the problem here at the foundation why this keeps recurring. the reason this keeps recurring is because even though there have been cease-fires in the past, when the rockets stop flying the occupation of palestine and the colonization of palestinian, the siege of gaza, all of which are backed by the force of a massive israeli military, do not stop. in fact, those continue and nobody holds the israelis accountable when they continue with those violations. that's really been the reason why cease-fires have fallen apart in the past. and if we are to get a durable cease-fire, it has to start with
2:08 pm
holding the parties accountable, particularly the israelis, but then dealing with the underlying problems in the gaza strip which are the continued siege and denial of human rights of palestinians there. >> yes, look, and as you well know, no country on planet earth is going to allow another country to lob missiles at it without some sort of response. the response is overwhelming but of course we know that's where it is going to lead and the civilian lives that are lost are horrific. is there any chance, do you think, of the palestinians or hamas giving up rockets, allowing the international community to come in and take rockets away and to get to some more level condition of life there? >> again, that israeli talking point is flawed precisely because there is no other country on earth which has perpetuated a multi-decade-long occupation of another people and their territory as the israelis have. so there's a context here. and i think you owe it to your
2:09 pm
viewers to present that context the way it actually is. look, what you're seeing today is violent resistance. i'm particularly not a fan of it. but if we are to bring this to an end, we have to provide other avenues for the redress of palestinian differences. so far negotiations have only yielded more israeli settlements in palestinian territory. if we're saying to the palestinians, you cannot use arms and we're saying to the palestinians, negotiations are not going to work because we won't rein in israel's settlement enterprise, what we're saying to them is there is no hope for you. unfortunately, no nation on earth will accept that. and they'll find other ways to lash out. some of them have taken up arms. but this is a situation that is largely created by an incentive structure that is primarily dictated by israel and, of course, by this city here in the united states, which is supporting them. >> extremely, extremely quickly if you can, but do you see this
2:10 pm
thing ramping up or getting worse or better any time soon? >> i hope and i pray that there will be a cease-fire immediately and in the immediate future and that the united states has a responsibility here not only to ask the israelis if they can facilitate a cease-fire, but to demand an immediate cease-fire and an end to the attacks on the civilian population in gaza. >> yaosef menir. thank you for joining us. dozens of children being left in the hot cars in the u.s. accused of spying we're talking about all of it and trying to solve the world's problem ahead. are you ready grandma? just a second, sweetie.

2:12 pm
2:13 pm
we just reported the latest on the showdown between israel and hamas. let's talk more about it with our two cnn commenters. marc lamont hill and ben ferguson. ben ferguson, israel says it will continue to fire on gaza targets as long as hamas
2:14 pm
continues firing its rockets into israel. this tit for tat sort of behavior we've seen before. over 45,000 troops on the ground next to gaza. does it look to you like we're headed for a ground war there? >> i think there's a very good chance. what you see from the israeli people is after you had these three young teenagers one an american citizen as well that were killed, they said that's their last straw. and we see this happen, unfortunately, every several years where hamas keeps poking and keeps poking and finally israel and the people say we must respond. and i think that's exactly what you're seeing from the leadership. they're tired the of this and they're going to go after these leaders in hamas and push them back for several years. the citizens at least seem to be in favor of this action as well right now because they're tired of being terrorized. >> with hamas having these longer range weapons now, it does not seem like israel has many choices. i mean, do you see any --
2:15 pm
ambassador oren was talking about the possibility of some peace breakthrough. i don't see it. do you? >> i'm hopeful for a peace agreement, at least a temporary one before. it tends to break. we need to be kale about using the language of tit for tat. there's a huge difference between israel's resources and hamas'. there are misdirected missiles coming from hamas and the targets in israel. we have to look at all of this against the backdrop of four years of occupation as opposed to three unfortunate deaths that happened a few months ago. >> go ahead, ben. >> well, the difference is you look at what we just talked about, technology, i'd much rather have israel targeting targets and it tells you about how this is coming from a defensive standpoint here whereas hamas really doesn't care they kill, how they kill them or where their rockets land. and if you're living in israel and you're having to deal with the randomness of anybody's a
2:16 pm
target and everyone's a target, grandmother, kids, they don't care where these rockets go and they don't care who they hit. that's the reason why israel is having to be so tough right now. >> palestinian children -- >> the other side, though, plays without abandonment of care of human life. >> ben, i think we have to be honest here. if you look just in the last two days you see literally images of palestinian babies badly burned, terrorized and also killed. this is not a situation where israel's on the defensive and palestine is not. all life is valuable. all people have a stake in their own humanity and both sides have a side for critique. the human shield critique might be accurate but that doesn't give israel the right to fire back into the same areas. >> let me put it this way, ben. >> sure. >> obviously israel does have more power. it is able to target well. when you apply that pressure in gaza city and these heavily
2:17 pm
populated areas. do they have to be more careful with their targeting? do they have to take more time? do they have to go in by ground because that way you can limit the amount of collateral damage? >> look, i think they've been incredibly compassionate. they've been firing warning shots before hitting targets, and that, unfortunately, has given some of these hamas leaders time to flee from their own apartments and the homes including the neighbors. how much more compassionate can you be than that to actually warn people that we're about to bomb a certain area? so i don't think that they are the out there wanting to kill innocent people or trying to. and war, unfortunately, is ugly, but go back to the core of what started this. you continually have hamas -- >> occupation. >> -- throw rockets anywhere they want to throw them and you have them where they're targeting young children and taking them and killing them. that's what got them into this in first place. israel was not the aggressor here.
2:18 pm
>> there's a very interesting story to go along with that as well and how all of that actually played out in israel and in the palestinian territories. there's a lot of bad mud between these two sides. hold on where you are right now. we've got a lot more to talk about. the case of a suburban atlanta boy after be pg left to die in a hot car should have made every parent agent more cautious. but since cooper harris died more kids have died. what in the heck is wrong with people?
2:19 pm
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. what does an apron have to do with car insurance? every time you tie on an apron, you make progress. and we like that. because progress is what we make, too.

2:21 pm
16 children have lost their lives in suffocating heat. the hot car in the united states alone. since little cooper harris died in a hot car in georgia, another 27 children have been left in hot cars, amazingly enough. two met the same fate as cooper, sadly. it's happened again. this time el paso, texas. >> 911. >> i have a 2-year-old female. >> a 2-year-old left in the family's car at home. the child left to suffocate overnight. an autopsy being conducted on the little girl before possible criminal charges filed. and it keeps happening. at least 20 incidents involving 26 children. two died, raising the number of children killed from heat stroke this year to 16. all of these cases in the few short weeks since most of the nation was laser focused in the sickening case of 22-month-old
2:22 pm
cooper harris in georgia. the child left by his father justin ross harris, who spent the day working at home depot, having lunch with friends and sexting women, all while his son spent seven hours strapped into the car seat, scratches to his face, abrasions on the back of his head. the child apparently struggling to survive the heat. joseph scott morgan is a forensic scholar and forensic investigator. >> you still have a child strapped in a car that's exposed to extreme heat that i can assure you no adult would be able to endure. i certainly couldn't endure it. >> reporter: car ks can heat up very quickly, even in cooler temperatures. 91 outside, inside we've only been in here about ten or 15 minutes and it's 108. i'm sweating through my shirts already. i'm sweating just about everywhere. these cars can go from uncomfortable to deadly very fast. and then there's this case out of washington, d.c. >> did you leave her in a car? >>.
2:23 pm
>> reporter: this 29-year-old charged with abandoning her severely disabled mother in a car on a day when temperatures rose to 95 degrees. police found and rescued her after she was trapped in the vehicle for 16 hours. police say she suffered from severe dehydration and was sitting in her own urine and feces. >> why was she covered in urine and feces? can you tell us what happened? >> reporter: as unimaginable as leaving a child or anyone in a car seems, experts say there will be more cases as temperatures across the country continue to rise. amazing since we first aired that piece yesterday, add another incident to the list. a teenager in new york is being called a hero for calling police when she noticed a little boy sitting inside a hot car. the cnn affiliate talked to the teen who says the 4-year-old was lethargic and soaked in sweat. >> so i looked over and i rolled down my window and i asked him, are you okay? and he said no. and i said, where's your mom? and he pointed to t.j. jchlt.j.
2:24 pm
friday die dais and said she was working. >> what a shocker. the boy's mother has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child. she told deputies she didn't have anyone to look after the by while shes with at work. we'll bring in our cnn political commentators again, ben ferguson and marc lamont hill. there are thousands of near misses for every one that happens, that gets caught. why did it take the case of cooper harris to ignite this national conversation? >> i'm disappointed that it took the case of cooper harris to ignite the conversation, obviously. every case matters, every life matters. that case had so many other interesting and compelling details to it to what his father was doing at work to the sexting thing. but the truth is every child's life matters and every parent has to be responsible. i understand people make
2:25 pm
mistakes. but just the bad choice of saying i don't have a baby-sitter. winter or summer, that's just awful. >> i don't know if there's any way -- or ben, sorry, i don't know if there's any way that one can argue this. it's the most horrific case and has just been gripping people. >> it is. i think a lot of this boils down to the issue of distractions in technology. there are so many people now that are so distracted even simple things like texting while driving, then getting out of the car and being forgetful. we're dealing with children here who cannot defend themselves. some of those parents, obviously questions of are they doing it on purpose. but there are others who truly are just accidents which are -- you know, i'm sorry, this is the biggest accident of your life. this is your child. pay attention to what you're doing. if you don't want to put down your technology, then don't have a child and don't put them in the backseat of the car in this
2:26 pm
way. but we see this happening every single day. we talked about how hot it gets and how often this is happening. almost unbelievable. that it's really happening this often in this country and parents have got to start paying attention. >> yeah, it seems impossible to believe. and the more people learn about the georgia case, the more they're shocked about what may have happened there. the mother of cooper harris, leanna harris, some have argued in the public, in the media there is information that seems pretty darn incriminating. do you think we should be taking such a hard look at her? >> i think we should take a hard look, i think that's only fair. but as of now we only have a limited amount of information. we don't want to try her in the court of public opinion. we want to let the facts play out. it's tough when you see a child die. when you see a child who is so vulnerable being treated in this way. it makes all of us respond in an aggressive and somewhat hasty fashion. >> ben, you've certainly seen everything that justin ross harris is accused of doing online. >> sure. >> is it fair to judge him this
2:27 pm
quickly? we've really only heard the prosecutor's side. >> well, i think certainly you got to look at it and say, is there a chance this was possibly done on purpose. is there a chance that others knew including his wife that this may be a plan to discard a child in this way? and that's exactly what the state should be looking at. when you're this disconnected from reality, while your child's sitting in a car for this many hours, at some point did you not think during the day, hey, did i even drop him off at day care, then you say i came back out, i don't buy it. there are other parents that don't buy it either. >> that doesn't bother me. if you have a routine and you think you did something. he assumed his child was at day care all day. even as parent, i understand that part. what's more incriminating to me what he was doing at work. the things he was texting allegedly. it won't say incriminating but
2:28 pm
raises an eyebrow. >> any time you're googling about heat and death and temperatures in cars, et cetera and animals. >> right, that's my point. that's what bothers me. >> you should take a very close look at a human being in that situation that's googling those things the all the while their child is dying of heat. >> i'm with ben on this one. it would be hard to go the full day seven hours while this kid is sitting there and not remember. but such a horrendous case. unthinkable. now, to make a little turn here, rabid soccer fans are enjoying the excitement of the world cup final. this rabid fan is. members of team usa who put on a show of their own in brazil are watching. we'll talk to defender matt besler just ahead. john walsh's new show "the hunt" begins tonight. he'll examine unsolved crimes in hopes that viewers can catch those responsible. he told us what drives him every day on his american journey. >> it doesn't matter whether

omg, it is a ripper in rio. the score 1-0. germany is up. we're just seconds away if argentina can't put one in to the end of this game. our richard roth is at a watch party in new york city. look at those fans. what is the atmosphere down there? what is going on? >> the atmosphere, they know that this match is over in a minute or two, fans are overjoyed and holding on to each other and fans from argentina are rooting for argentina, still holding out hope here that late
2:33 pm
into the match 1-0 for germany, tense, cagey affair. i called it at a 1-0 by three hours ago. the third time meeting in a world cup final. germany won the last match 1-0, that did not go to extra time. back to you. >> richard, you look like you're feeling it down there. it looks like it's a very serious and intense -- i want you to take the tie off and have a beer, richard, is what i want to say. >> sorry, could you say that question again? >> i want you to have a beer and take the tie off and have a beer! >> oh, listen, i'm working. when you're plunging into your ninth bar in three weeks or four weeks. this match is about to be over. you can tell from the reaction of those behind me. i'm here at ambrose hall. you get tourists and fans of both sides. a lovely sunny afternoon and on
2:34 pm
a sunday in the summer in new york capped off by this long tournament that's been rated by many to be the best world cup ever. certainly producing top goals, big finishes at the end, but of course both teams scared to lose. this is typical for these matches. i don't know how many new fans from america get attracted to a match which is 0-0 for so long. certainly there are new fans that have joined this sport. we'll see what happens four years before the next world cup, whether they catch the fever again. >> richard, i want to stop you right there because we are looking at a live picture of the brandenburg gate in berlin. the match appears to be coming to an end. it looks like there's about two minutes left of time, and that it should -- the final whistle should be blown soon. you can see the anguish on the players from argentina there. messi has played an incredible game. all these players have played to a standstill. they look like they're about to
2:35 pm
pass out. but those fans there in germany are getting ready to explode as this enthralling world cup match comes to an end. it looks on the left we have a picture from argentina, from buenos aires in argentina, those fans clearly hoping for a miracle here. incredibly gripping to see two teams play so well. >> that sounds like it. it sounds like the match is o r over. germany wins the 2014 world cup. germany wins the world dup. the last triumph back in 1990 in rome boating argentina 1-0, same score, same team. 24 years later. germany is king of the world again in the world's most populace sport, football, or as it's known in the u.s., soccer. >> there's that crowd at the
2:36 pm
brandenburg gates cheering on their team as they're watching live there this thrilling end to this world cup. man, these guys have just played their hearts out. >> they've celebrated at the brandenburg gate before when east and west germany combined for one nation. yes, go right ahead. >> richard, just an amazing -- i'd like to go, if we can, to buenos aires and to our reporter there who can give us a taste of how things are going down in argentina tonight. apparently we're not going there. we're going to stay on berlin here. but i do have marc lamont hill next to me -- look at this great celebration. have you been watching this, marc? >> the entire thing. this match itself, you and i were sneaking and cheating and looking at bits of it. when germany scored that was big. such a an efficient game.
2:37 pm
>> it will be interesting to see the effect on american soccer. i'm surprised by how many in new york come out to watch it even if they don't support one team or the other. a lot of people supporting germany even though they beat the u.s. along the way. interesting to see if major league locker numbers are up in the days ahead. >> numbers will definitely pick up. you saw record numbers in the united states. then even if the u.s. is eliminated. people are still packing in. bars were packed down the street to watch germany/argentina. that wouldn't have happened eight years ago. a whole different thing. >> if we still have richard roth in new york, what was the reaction there, were most for germany or argentina? >> i think it was pretty divided. i have a fan from germany here. what's your reaction to winning the world cup? >> yeah, it's awesome. it's great to be german. born in germany. it feels good because we were waiting for so long.
2:38 pm
>> what do you think of the match? >> yeah, it was kind of boring, but it was good at the end. >> while we're standing here over this foosball table, a fan of argentina who we talked to before the match, your reaction to the loss? how bitter do you feel? >> i feel absolutely horrible and even worse because messi did absolutely nothing. the best player in the world. they got it because of messi, he didn't do anything. >> he was good. messi was good. but our team was good. >> he didn't do what he had to do. when you're the best player in the world, you have to do what you have to do. >> you have a player right in front of the goal and he missed. >> he specifically should have buried that. he should have headed it into the net. he didn't do it. >> what does this mean for the country as they continue to celebrate at the brandenburg gate. yet again you had losses in other world cups. 2002, germany lost to brazil in yokohama. it is a swell of patriotism you feel today?
2:39 pm
>> yeah, we waited for so long. we had the championship 2006 in germany. we didn't win. now it's awesome. everybody's on the street. there's firecrackers fireworks. everybody is going outside and partying tonight. >> a long world cup but how would you rate this tournament? >> it was great. a lot of goals. >> there were so many surprises. yeah. >> costa rica made it to the quarterfinal. >> and the u.s., the u.s. was great because of jurgen klinsmann. >> don't point your finger at me. germany defeating argentina 1-0. do you think this helps the cause of world peace? such a big global sports tournament? >> yeah, i think so. >> i think it hurts it. >> you can tell who lost here. you can tell who was rooting for germany and who was rooting for
2:40 pm
argentina. as they cheer in germany. a lot of fans in latin america, central america, they weren't exactly rooting for argentina. they feel argentina can sometimes lord it over them. reportedly germany had secret supporters in the stands. >> all of america wanted argentina to win because they wanted the cup back in latin america. >> you'll have to wait at least four more years. back to you. >> i love that the german you introduced, her first word is awesome. sounds like any other american out there. fantastic. ben, if we're going to take a quick break and come back with more of world cup excitement and finally coming to an end. and a couple of other subjects coming up very quickly. i've had surgery, and yes, i have occasional constipation. that's why i take doctor recommended colace capsules.

2:44 pm
this game. as soon as he scored that goal there was an explosion from all the german fans on social media, of course. people calling him supermario after scoring this amazing goal. in the 113th minute. we're just seven minutes from this game having to go to penalty kicks. but coming up with the incredible goal to get germany to win. lots of tweeting and jubilation from the german fans and as you can imagine on the other side, argentina fans very disappointed. lots of pictures of fans crying tlud the stadium. rightfully so. their dream was to win the world cup this year with their superstar messi. messi had a chance at the end of the game to tie this and he shot it way over the goal. a lot of people on social media changing messi to missy since he missed that goal. >> what an unbelievable match. two peoples that just played until they were about to pass out. alex thomas is in rio for us. she's just outside -- sorry just
2:45 pm
outside the stadium. alex, what is the mood like there? >> miguel, it's astonishing the sound coming from rio's stadium behind me. i was lucky enough to be in there for most of the match after finishing an hour's preview show on our sister station cnn international. i rushed in there with all the fans dodging all the police security checks to get inside. a very famous venue, you know. it's once said that 200,000 people packed in there to see the legendary pele back in the 1960s and most brazilians, yes, would have loved to see their team in the world cup final lifting the trophy on home soil. something they failed to do when they hosted this event back in 1950, but we still have got a world cup final of the highest caliber between two countries that have won this before. argentina will not be world champions of soccer for a third time. instead it's germany that will lift the famous trophy shortly
2:46 pm
for the fourth time in their history. and although brazil have won it more times before, germany the most consistent side in this competition ever. they've won more matches, scored more goals, played more games and after a decade of rebuilding the way they develop their soccer players, germany really have got just rewards for all that hard work they put in. a talented golden generation they've been called. they are champions of world soccer. >> were youed in that stadium for the goal? >> i missed the goal. i had to come out here to do any cnn work before the end of the normal time, the 90 minutes, pen there's a half hour of extra time and that's when germany broke the deadlock. because it might have gone to a penalty shoot-out which these teams have both had. talk about living up to the cliche of the efficient germans. so maybe for argentina, they're on a lose-lose anyway. as andy shoels, my colleague
2:47 pm
mentioned earlier, their main hope was lionel messi. barcelona superstar, one of the few playerses who face transcends sport globally in a way a lebron james does or a tiger woods, yet he couldn't find that bit of magic. but he has shown in this world cup some some of the earlier rounds, argentina going back with their heads held high. they played very good football here. rioj has been invaded by argentineans. as i walked back to my hotel last night i saw an ambulance parked there. i thought fair enough they're having security for those on the beach. then an argentine fan gets out. they come here in anyway they could. >> rio is such a downer of a city. i'm sure not much fun with all those people try not to have too
2:48 pm

2:49 pm
world cup. >> how bitter are you? do you have anyone to blame regarding the players, messi? >> no, i mean, obviously it was a close match. and both teams played v heart out. and you know, i think in this case the best team won. it's disappointing, but you know, one of those games where you hope there isn't a loser because both teams really played very well. >> very diplomatic for a man standing next to three women who happen to root for the other team. were you worried it would go to penalty kicks which would have been excruciating to decide -- >> we really were. that was their strategy. >> you want to know something? i don't think penalty kicks show who so i'm happy that it ended the way it did. >> i completely disagree. i find penalty kicks exciting, but they are very traumatizing. >> had we gone to penalty kicks, we would have won. >> no. >> no. >> no. >> i don't think so.
2:50 pm
nch>> messi. you have one. >> you have one. >> the best thing is that this is over and i'm finally gonna get out of the bars. oh, a final thought? pardon me. >> i think we saw a fair, wonderful end to a wonderful world cup. wofrmt you be saying if argentina won, 1-0? >> i absolutely would agree. >> it would be the end of the game. >> the view here at am breeze hall, south street seaport, another world cup. we will see you in four years, miguel. >> oh, richard, i love that you are making friends down there. that is just brilliant. i could watch you talk to those fans all day long, richard. i'm gonna drive down there and make you drink a beer myself. we are going to be right back after a short break -- all right, fine, take you to berlin and buenos aires and get a little of that global action in this amazing, amazing end to this world cup. the cadillac summer collection is here.
