Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom 20140509

Perhaps too much including his jealousy of Magic Johnson . We have the entire recording. Im talking to a girl. Im trying to have sex with her. Im trying to play with her. You know, if you want to have sex with a girl and youre talking to her privately and you dont think anybody is there, you may say anything in the world. Then if the girl tapes it and releases it, my god, its awful. Who thinks anybody is going to tape something. What the hell . Im talking to a girl. The girl is black. I like her. Im jealous that shes with other black girls. I want her. What the hell can i in private tell her . I dont want you to be with anybody. Can i am i a person . I wish Magic Johnson was talking to a girl. And you might say anything, i would have said i could fly over a highrise building if i had to. And youre talking to her, then you go away and three months later, what you said when you were hot is real leased. I have a girl here who has black kids and is i love the girl. Shes telling me youre wrong. I know im wrong. I know what i said was wrong but i never thought the private conversation would go anywhere out to the public. I didnt want her to bring anybody to my game because i was jealous. Im being honest. It doesnt matter. No ones going to hear it but you and me. So is Donald Sterling playing the victim card . Stephanie elam joins from la. Do we sympathize or think this is a pr stunt . I think it was an attempt to get some sympathy there. Its very late. He has never put out anything on the record. It is always through recordings. And he says yeah, i did say it but it was all in an effort to have sex. I doesnt make sense. I dont understand the the logic there at all. He does say that he didnt think anyone is going to hear this. And it shows he has a massive jealousy issue with Magic Johnson. Magic johnson is a pretty accomplished guy. Certainly no reason to invoke the things that he did in his conversation with v. Stiviano. When youre looking at recordings like this, is this something that could impact the legal battle that hes facing . Maybe that was his attempt but the nba has been very clear that they are not changing his position. And he did at mid that he said what he said. That doesnt change things. People have been discounting Shelly Sterling and the part she plays in this. I think it would be a very hard situation. I will say that much. I think it would be very difficult. I guarantee you every person wouldnt be on board with that. Everyone has a price. Has miss sterling identified her . She has enough money in her life and for her children and grandchildren. She loves the team. Players love her. Doc rivers has been very supportive of her and she is supportive of them. Mrs. Sterling wants to retain her 50 ownership interest in her lifetime. And its also interesting to note that he does say in her lifetime. The other 50 being owned by donald. And you heard from the coach there. In the beginning he seemed to be very supportive of her but now seems a little more hesitant. And also maybe just wanting all of this to go away. Stephanie, thank you so much for that. And happening now, one of the most controversial Football Players in the country is hold ing a conference coming up. He mesmerized fans for his scrambling ability earning the nickname johnny football. Last night cleveland picked him in the 22 spot. Lets listen as he holds that News Conference on the draft. Theres a gap that i have to close of learning the offense and getting caught up to speed. Im obviously a rookie and i need to put some time in to be good. Can you talk a little about we see the persona, the pictures with drake. Youre friends with lebron. Are you, you know, is that, you know, kind of who you are . Are you bringing some of that star power and sort of celebrity, big life theme here to cleveland here with you . I dont think about that a whole lot. Those guys have been awesome to me. Weve developed friendships over the past year and a half. I dont look at it as celebrity or star or anything like that. I look at it as just having gris that care about me and friends that happen to be in a bigger spotlight. I love being involved in sports. I above watching basketball. I think any guy in our position loves listening to music. So, these guys reached out to me and i reached out to them and we have been friends. I think its extremely cool and im very glad to have them in my corner. Extremely cool. That was the New Cleveland browns quarterback johnny manzi manziel. He fell to the 22ennd pick in t draft. What happened, prin . I would think that would be extremely cool. I just have them on my i pod. You have got to understand that Johnny Manziel is probably one of the most polarizing athletes in the history of College Football and definitely the history of the predraft. Half of the experts thought he would go number one and others say that he is undraftable. His suspension from the team because he was getting paid for autographs for half a game. He got himself in a little bit of a problem with a buddys with a friends fight. He has remained controversial. Hes just a kid, only 21 years old. He didnt really slip. 22 is really good. Its not bad but if you went first in the draft, thats extremely cool. What about all of this controversy. How are cleveland fans reacting to this . I think cleveland is going to embrace him with open arms. They need someone like this. They havent had this much excitement since lebron left. Didnt they sell a ton of season tickets overnight . The season tickets, can you imagine being the person that is taking the calls for season tickets . The phone was ringing off the hook. The Cleveland Brown Ticket Office sold 1500 tickets in the first 12 hours. Thats a lot of cha ching for the team. Thank you so much, brian. Coming up, cnns exclusive investigation of potentially deadly wait times for veterans seeking care. We have more information on a cover up to falsify or erase wait times for veterans. And a shocking report out of nigeria. The government there hadded ad e advanced warning of the kidnapping of schoolgirls by hours. Why didnt they do anything to stop it . We have a lot going on in the news room. Stay with us. music defiance is in our bones. Defiance never grows old. Citracal maximum. Calcium citrate plus d. Highly soluble, easily absorbed. Investigators want to know whether any veterans possibly died as a result. These allegations come from a hospital scheduling clerk who spoke pubically for the first time to our drew griffin. The clerk explained how wait times were allegedly manipulated. It could be three months and it looks like 14 days. It could be three months and look like no days. So fudging the books is my its your i would call it that. You can call it that. The va calls it zeroing out. The vas official policy is all patients should be able to see a medical professional within 14 days. We found the claims by this employee were not substantiated. This comes after allegations of secret wait lists and deadly delays at a phoenix va hospital. Senator john mccain will hold a forum in phoenix to discuss veterans care. Joining me from phoenix, dan kald caldwell is the issue and legislative manager for concerned veterans. Thanks so much for being with us. Va secretary ordered this audit. You are calling on him to resign now . What needs to happen to fix the vas problems . First of all we think that the secretary needs to go. Since 2009 he has failed to lead the va in an effective and efficient way. The backlog. He has failed to properly manage and implement new programs and serve veterans in an efficient and timely manner. The next thing the va needs is more accountability. Thats why we think its important that congress and the president sign into law the va management accountability act. Let me ask you this. Senator mccain has not called for him to step down. I understand the senators position that the investigation needs to be completed at the phoenix va, but i also would say that our group and the American Legion are not calling for the secretary to resign just because of phoenix. Our group feels there has been a long pattern of mismanagement and failure at the senior level and this is not just based on one incident or city. It goes to the backlog. It goes to confirmed deaths from delayed care in other cities across the country. The veiled roll out of the post 911 g. I. Bill. Again, i understand what hes trying to say that we need this investigation to be kpleeded. We think it is actually time for him to go now. You heard that allegation of zeroing out the wait times here. You would think if that is happening, theres a reason that precipitates that. Do you think that va hospitals have enough staff to meet the 14 day period which is their official policy for when treatment should be received . Is that realistic . Well, i dont know if they have enough doctors and staff at their hospital but they have been given an incredible amount of resources. The start on the war on terror. They have been given the resources, then its an allocation issue. Already. Dan, thanks for being with us. We really appreciate it. No problem. And coming up, a new report from Amnesty International. It says that Nigerian Security forces had more than four hours warning ahead of the attack where that terror group, bo boko haram, kidnapped the schoolgirls. Why didnt they do anything . But what meaning could that visit hold . Were live from crimea next. This is the first power plant in the country to combine solar and natural gas at the same location. During the day, we generate as much electricity as we can using solar. At night and when its cloudy, we use more natural gas. This ensures we can produce Clean Electricity whenever our customers need it. But with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive, i had to do something. I saw my doctor. A blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. We talked about axiron the only underarm low t treatment that can restore t levels to normal in about two weeks in most men. Axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. Women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. Report these symptoms to your doctor. Tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. Serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms, decreased sperm count, ankle, feet or body swelling, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing while sleeping and blood clots in the legs. Common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa. Ask your doctor about axiron. Russias Vladimir Putin made a splash today. The initial spoils of the squeeze, here is putin greeting his navy as he arrived as a conqu conquering hero. This is his eighth visit as president. The leader a ceremonys marking victory in world war ii. Phil, theres a lot of symbolism in this today. Indeed, thats right. You get the feeling that this has not so much bun about remembering the russian or the soviet victory. This is a celebration of more recent history. Russia taking back crimea. That is why there are still thousands of people lining the shores. A military parade and of course that guest of honor who congratulated the people here for what he called a great victory. Take a listen. 2014 will be a chronicle as a year that all the people firmly decided to be together with russia, confirming faithfulness of historic truth. The International Community doesnt like this. The united states, ukraine, say this will only escalate the bro broader progress. But his visit here very much a statement to russia where his move take back crimea has been incredibly popular. So phil, hes speaking to a russian audience, obviously, and to some there in crimea. Is there also a message to the west, though . It is certainly defiance to the west, no doubt about that. He has received enormous criticism and con ddemncondemna. The language from the west has been very damning of russias actions. As russia continues to be krit sided for what the west believes is inflaming the cry his, he has come here today in what the west will consider a triumphant kind of act. He is clearly standing defind and really showing them or wanting to present that he is really not too concerned about what the rest of the world is thinking right now. Coming up, it has been two months since flight 370 went missing. Could investigators be looking in the wrong ocean . And a new record says that Nigerian Security forces had more than four hours warning before the terror group kidnapped schoolgirls. We will be discussing that. Stay with us. Y changes in the b.

[ barks ] [ chuckles ] id do anything to keep this guy happy and healthy. Thats why im so excited about these new milkbone brushing chews. Whoa, im not the only one. Its a brilliant new way to take care of his teeth. Clinically proven as effective as brushing. Ok, here you go. Have you ever seen a dog brush his own teeth . The twist and nub design cleans all the way down to the gum line, even reaching the back teeth. They taste like a treat, but they clean like a toothbrush. Nothing says you care like a milkbone brushing chew. [ barks ] today in washington, house speak egg john boehner awarded seven republicans with highly astute spots to investigate benghazi. Democrats are yet to decide whether they want to claim their spots at all. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is calling the investigation a stunt. This really seems the decision has democrats in a bit of a pickle. It does. There is a split and pretty much everybody you talk to in these hallways admits that. That there is a split whether that is the most effective politically or whether it is the most effective to call it what it is. As this day has been going on, there has been a back and forth between democratic leadership and Republican Leadership over whether or not democrats can get what they want with regard to some of the process. Again, when you say process, maybe makes your eyes glaze over but in this particular case, the process for democrats is what its all about. What democrats want is promises from republicans that theyre going to have a real seat at the table and access to witnesses and involvement in subpoenas that go out. Nancy pelosi just went to the House Speaker and it shows that they are not there yet at all. The latest back and forth was funtmentally unfair. That they are not giving democrats the kind of participation level as they would like and they want to get answers to that before they decide whether theyre going to formally sign on and fill the spots. Its really hard to escape the politics there. This is a Midterm Election year. This also plays into 2016 as it relates to Hillary Clinton. Absolutely. And so much of this and so much of the discussion that you hear here in the halls from democrats is that they believe this is so much of this is about Hillary Clinton and about wanting to subpoena her and drag her before this committee. I actually asked nancy pelosi about what she thinks on the subject. Do you think this is all about Hillary Clinton . No. If they cared about the president ial, they would be passing an immigration bill. This is all about them. I think its pretty clear. Their focus on the Affordable Care act has run its course and now they have to find Something Else to talk about. Of course in the short term there is no question that the idea of even having this committee now just a few months from the november Midterm Election that probably riles up the Republican Base is political. No republican with a straight face can say its not. The fact that nancy pelosi answered that so quickly indicated that she has thought about this and she thinks its all about november. Other democrats think it is very much about Hillary Clinton and trying to woo her for the president ial if she runs. How do we know its about politics . Its 2014. Theyre not doing anything but politics. Not at all. Thanks. More than two months after flight 370 vanished, there is another open letter demanding that officials take the search back to the drawing board and reanalyze the information that they have. They question how authorities can be certain that a 777 crashed into the indian ocean since there is no physical evidence and concerns are being echoed in a new report today in the atlantic which claims many experts claim the search could be happening not just in the wrong spot but in the wrong ocean. The map of the pings is straightforward. Its like a game of marco polo. So you get these basic characteristics of what you expect the responses to look like. The satellite is not moving relative to that position so you would expect there to be no free onecy shifts. Something is off with the original interpretation. Now joining me now is a cnn safety analyst accident investigator and author of why planes crash. David, can you explain this new report to us . What led to this different conclusion . Theyre not questioning the data. What theyre questioning is the analysis of the data. Thats very important to point out. I spoke to one of the scientists quoted in the article. It is something that they are reevaluating within themselves. It goes to the complexity of the information. Right now there is very good reason to believe that according to the report that this information was analyzed improperly and did not consider the delay that happens from the satellite to the earths station it also doesnt consider that the aircraft itself can off set and anticipate where the signal would be. It anticipates that and does that change. So thats the things theyre looking at. They still need one piece of information to make this stand and take that from the questioned analysis and turn it into real data as far as where that aircraft would or wouldnt be in theres a big question as to where this aircraft is and if we have been looking in the wrong place all along. This report compares the pings to a game of marco polo. But the article says the pings only tell you how far away the pings are, not what direction. What do you think led searchers to this Southern Area to begin with. If we talk about handshakes, once the handshake was made, the communication that went through that connection take astern amount of time. Not only do they know how far away it is from the satellite but they can also learn from that how quickly its moving away from the satellite while your hands are connected. Once the handshake is done, they can measure that through doppler and that is what this doppler term is all about. If the satellite was stationary it would be so much easier. We would know that we had a fixed place in space but that is not the case. Its unable to stay in a continuous earth or bit so its doing this elliptical Movement Moving north and south in a number of miles. Not just a few feet. Its going two or three miles so it depends on what time and wear that doppler was received as to whether or not its accurate. And thats what this report is partially pointing out. I think thats the most critical change is how its related to the location. They dont think that was considered properly. We have more questions to ask you and we will get to that right after a quick break. Cut [bell rings] this. Is jane. Her long day on set starts with shoulder pain. And a choice take 6 tylenol in a day which is 2 aleve for. All day relief. Hmm. [bell ring] roll sound action man we know when parents and teachers work together. Woman our schools get stronger. Man as superintendent of public education, thats been Tom Torlaksons approach. Woman torlakson has supported legislation to guarantee spending decisions about our education tax dollars are made by parents, teachers and the local community. And not by sacramento politicians. And we need to keep that legislation on track. Man so tell Tom Torlakson to keep fighting for local control of School Funding decisions. What is this place . Where are we . This is where we bring together reliably fast internet and the best in entertainment. We call it the x1 entertainment operating system. It looks like the future we must have encountered a temporal vortex. Further analytics are necessary. Beam us up. Thats my phone. Hey. [ female announcer ] the x1 entertainment operating system. Only from xfinity. Tv and internet together like never before. Were going to continue our conversation with cnn safety analyst, also an accident investigator and the author of the book why planes crash. A lot of Satellite Experts believe that its happening not just in the wrong spot but entirely in the wrong ocean. This is the crux of what were hearing from families. They say they want all of the original data handed to the groups that found the remains of the missing air France Flight two years after it crashed. Do you think thats a good idea . Yes. These are not just some hat group out there trying to look at things, throw out tweets and become famous. One of them lives in boulder, colorado. I have heard of them. We have talked before through cu, university of colorado. This guy knows what he is talking about. I trust him and believe him. I just got off the phone with him and he has some questions even about what was published but thats not a prop. Its something that you would expect because of the highly technical nature of this report. This is way above my skill level. These guys are really the real deal and they have very good reasons to question. The families keep the pressure on. The voice 370, i read the letter that was sent forward begging and pleading for this information. Its reasonable. Its not protected or intellectual property. Its simply a piece of data that is missing. As you talk to these experts, what would they say needs to be done differently by this other team that found the other plane after a really laboreous search . What was missing was this base frequency offset, which is the amount of time and the relationship. Something about the relationship between the satellite and the airplane. Two moving objects. Exactly, and then you have this air to earth satellite frequency adjustment. Were going to pretend that were not really where they are. That identification is kind of what is missing now. This is called the aes. That is still the piece of information that we need. And from there they can do a whole other analysis and make sure. We dont know that the inmarsat didnt consider this information until you start looking at the results that they did publish. That is why this is so important. There is discrepancies between their output. They say here is where it was and you compare that to calculations, and they dont line up. They really dont line up. There is something that wasnt considered. We dont know what it was but we can speculate that what was missing was this compensation for the fact that the doppler is also being transmitted, the time that it goes from the satellite down to the earth. That relationship is moving, too. So this is really complicated extremely high math, we will call it new math because its new to me. And theres nothing the matter with asking more very informed and smart people to take a look at it. David, thank you so much. Thank you. U. S. Military advisors arrived in nigeria to help find kidnapped schoolgirls. This rescue attempt happening as an explosive report surfaces, how much did the Nigerian Government know or when . Amnesty International Claims it has evidence that the Security Forces knew of the impending attack hours ahead of time but failed to act as the girls were being herded out of their beds into the jungles of northern nigeria. Several managed to flee and one is sharing her escape. Cnn cannot independently verify the authenticity of this video. Joining me now, john campbell. Ambassador, thanks for joining us. I want to talk to you a lot about this report. It claims that nigeria did not act on intelligence because apparently commanders could not raise enough forces to respond. Cnn has reached out to the Nigerian Government but we do not have a response yet. What can you tell us about their militarys abilities or inabilities when it comes to destabilizing. The Security Services are overstretched. It is frequently said that boko haram outguns military forces. Boko haram is unbelievable murderous when it comes to the Security Forces. Any i member of the army or police who fall into their hands is liable or even likely to have his throat cut. So theyre afraid. Theyre very afraid. Security forces are afraid. Do you think they might not want to gather to address the situation . Is that how bad it is . They are afraid but there is also the question of actual resources. The amnesty report implies that military could not gather sufficient troops fast enough to respond. By the way, in my own experience, Amnesty International in nigeria is quite credible. That is good to know. You have military advisors in nigeria. What should their plan be now . Have you ever seen Something Like a kidnapping like this probably not on this scale but resolved in a way that you dont have deaths . Yes. It happened during the insurgency in the nigerian delta and what is going on now. It was finally all about money. When youre talking about money you can do deals. The insurgency in northern nigeria, at least if you Pay Attention to boko haram rhetoric, their goal is to establish gods kingdom on earth with justice for the poor through the imposition of islamic law. I would submit this is not a Political Program and its also not about money. That means it is extraordinarily difficult to deal with. You are asking what essentially the next step should be. The first thing is to consult with the nigerians about what they want, what they are willing to take, and then together figure out what the next steps are going to be. Its the nigh yearians who will have to take the lead in this. Its the nigerians who will have to find the schoolgirls. All outsiders can do is try to facilitate their efforts. Let hope that there is progress made on that front. Ambassador, thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Definitely. And we mentioned that Amnesty Internationals claims about the government knowing ahead of time. And you heard our guest say this is a very credible group. And coming up next, police in georgia are scrambling to find clues to a gruesome crime. An 88yearold man murdered in his home. The man was decapitated and his head is missing from the scene. Mr. Bermans head was decapitated and we do not know the where abouts of his head. More on this chilling story right after the break. You think you take off all your makeup before bed.

Cnn has just learned that the clippers will have a new ceo, Richard Parsons. Lets go to our senior legal analyst for more on this. What does this mean . Break it down for us. He is a very familiar person to us here at cnn because time warner is a Parent Company of cnn. He is a rmted owner. It means that the nba is moving to explore any role and to try to get the franchise running in a reasonably orderly way in preparation, presumablpresumabl and so its kind of a bit of cleaning house. We saw a leadership shake up that happened following this scandal as it broke. So, should we be expecting more than just this. Or is this really the one big position that we were expecting to be filled. There is another big step still to come. This is simply to establish management of the company. The really big issue which the nba has not yet addressed is will three quarters of the owners. The permanent staff that they have not yet taken, that procedure is underway. That is a much more complicated step than putting in a caretaker which is what Richard Parsons is. Its an important step, but its a preliminary step to the more important issue of figuring out who really owns this team. Jeffrey, thanks so much for that. Were going to have more on this breaking news in a couple of minutes. Those Little Things still get you. Cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be Ready Anytime the moment is right.

Cnn just learned that the new Los Angeles Clippers ceo will be Richard Parsons. What else do we know about them . What does this mean for the team. Here is more. Jason. It could mean a lot of things. First of all a man that is highly respected. Hes an africanamerican. Also what youre seeing here, pamela, is more evidence that the nba is move iing forward. Basically saying that they were moving forward with the search with the clippers new ceo. This announcement today is further proof that they are doing just that. Also when you think about this, remember what sterlings wife has been saying that she wants to remain in control of the clippers. She has 50 ownership of the clippers. She wants to be a passive owner. The nba is moving forward without Donald Sterling, without shelly steriling and trying to get the clippers back on track. The ceo stepped down last week. Here we are with the new ceo. Thank you. Im going to talk more about this with hln legal analyst and joey jackson. Branding and social Media Consultant peter shankman. Tell us, the nba has said, you know, very little time appointing the new ceo. What do you make of this pick in particular. Richard parsons is a high profile man. What do you think about it . Richard parsons is a phenomenal choice. They are going to use him for a while. The Bigger Picture is that the nba is making a statement saying you know what . Were not going to wait for this to blow over and to handle the situation as needed. The best thing they could have done. Parsons was responsible for the aol time warner merger back in the late 90s. Very well respected in the community. This is a brush off of sterling. This says we dont care what youre saying. We dont care that you want control and you want a lawsuit. Were moving forward because we have the power and because we can and we want to focus on basketball. The buzzer is sort of winding down here. This is a very strong move here. But the controversy resolving around sterling continues. We will get to that with a new audio recording today. I want to go to you First Talking about the new ceo that were just finding out about. Do you think this is a legal move to help the nba gain control . The train has left the station and the reality is that the nba, they have dual spobl responsibility, right . First and foremost they have legal obligations that they have to tend to. But they certainly have a fan base and they have players and other people that they have to insure, you know, feel that theyre respected and working hard, that those efforts, you know, that they engage in to win championships, that they can do it in an environment that is respectful. I think what the nba is doing is theyre saying listen, we have an obligation to fans and community. This is in the future to disassociate their self with them. Silver said that this is serious about irradicating any thoughts of racism on this nba community. This is something that goes along with that. You didnt mention the advertisers. There was talk of pulling ads and spoon snsorship. They said you know what . Were not wasting time. They were looking at potential losses and they pretty much saved that. They plugged that hole in the ship. Absolutely right. They had a huge incentive, thats for sure. This is all going on as we find out about the new secret tapes released of Donald Sterling. More where he supposedly explains why he made racist comments that were caught on tape. On the tape, sterling allegedly admits to an unidentified person that he spoke out of turn because he wanted to sleep with his lady friend, v. Stiviano. We have been unable to confirm that it is indeed him. We have the recording for you in its entirety. Take a listen. But im talking to a girl. Im trying to have sex with her. Im trying to play with her. What you know, if you are trying to have sex with a girl and youre talking to her privately and you dont think anybodys there, you may say anything in the world. What difference does it make . Then if the girl tapes it and releases it, my god its awful. Who thinks anybodys going to tape something . What the hell, im talking to a girl. The girl is black. I like her. Im jealous that shes with other black guys. I want her. What the hell can i in private tell her . You know . I dont want you to be with anybody . Do i have can i am i a person . Do i have freedom of speech . I wish Magic Johnson was talking to a girl. And you are trying to play with her. You might say anything. I would have said i could fly over a highrise building if i had to. The next thing, three months later, what you said when you were hot trying to get her is rae leased. I have a girl here who has black kids and is partly black, i think, myself. I love the girl. Shes telling me youre wrong. I know im wrong. I never thought the private conversation would go anywhere. Out to the public. I didnt want her to bring anybody to my games because i was jealous. Im being honest. And, no ones going to hear it but you and me, so all right. Where to begin with this . Paul . Peter i should say . My bad. Im going to start with you. He says no one is going to hear this but me and you. He has not come out to pubically speak and apologize and explain his comments and it makes you wonder whether this was staged and whether hes trying to do this in an attempt to look like the victim here. Obviously image is everything. The fact that he said at the very end, it may have been saying it is staged. No ones going to hear it anyway and fade to black. The meta aspect of this, you just want to look and say you need to stop talking now to everyone. Go. Oh my god. Live on an island and dont talk to anyone. Even if this isnt staged, dont talk. No talking. Lets talk about the legal side of this im going to go could this help or hurt Donald Sterling. Certainly you can argue that its contrived. And particularly, you are insulting her. Is that how you really get a woman in her good graces. I think certainly it doesnt help them at all. It could hurt them in fact. I think legally the nba is on very firm ground in terms of getting three quarters of the ownership to go forward. Its a private organization. The nba is on firm legal ground. Thank you for joining us. And you. I want to turn now to the exclusive investigation of potentially deadly wait times. We have explosive new allegations of a cover up to falsify or erase wait times for veterans. Right now senator john mccain, a war hero is holding a forum in phoenix to discuss veterans care issues. And secret waiting lists at a hospital in phoenix arizona. Lets go straight to cnn investigations in washington. You have learned oo eed another hospital is being investigated. Tell us about that. Pam, federal investigators are looking into several va hospitals. Right now the biggest focus is on phoenix where cnn investigation found that 40 veterans died waiting for care. Many of those veterans were placed on a secret list designed to hide the fact that some veterans were waiting almost two years to see a doctor. The va office of Inspector General has a team on the ground. Investigators are looking into similar allegations of delayed care in fort collins, colorado, and in san antonio, texas. We spoke exclusively with a whistle blower in san antonio who was told to make it look like veterans were not waiting for points. I believe for the last year after, coaching schedulers to change those dates in order for them to look better. They could be a three month wait period and theyre showing nothing. Cnn has been asking the secretary to comment on delayed care for months. Next week, he will have to answer questions when he testifies before a senate committee. The Veterans Affair secretary is a cabinet position. What does the white house have to say about all of this. They say that they are awaiting the results. Holding an open forum to discuss more. Stunning new developments this hour when it comes to the kidnapped schoolgirls in nigeria. Amnesty internation aal said th government knew about the kidnapping four hours ahead of time but couldnt stop it. Its probably happened to you. Youve lost a cell phone or had it stolen. Many are calling for kill switches to make the phone useless for anyone other than the owners. Our next guess isnt so sure about this idea. We will tell you about that right after this break. Stay with us. Thats epic, bro. Whatever happened to good . Good is choosing not to overshoot the moon, but to land right on it. Good is maxwell house. Good to the last drop good is maxwell house. Those little Cialis Tadalafil for daily use helps you be Ready Anytime the moment is right. Cialis is also the only daily ed tablet approved to treat symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently. Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. Do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Do not drink alcohol in excess. Side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. To avoid longterm injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours.

Ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a free 30tablet trial. Look at this. 1. 4 million smart phones were lost last year. 3. 1 million were stolen. Of course, any brand of phone can be a target. Its one of the Fastest Growing crimes and lawmakers are noticing. California Senate Just Passed a bill to require a skill switch. Nice to have you with us. You have mixed feelings about these kill switches. Wouldnt it be a logical deterre deterrent . It would be a logical deterrent and the numbers show that we have a very bad smart phone theft problem. The reason theyre stolen is because theyre so expensive and theres clearly a black market for the stolen phones. Im sure there are places that you can go and find them for a lot cheaper than they are supposed to be sold. They are not officially real new phones that have not been owned by someone else. The kill switch opens up an access lane for hackers and who knows what they can do with it. Imagine if they put an email attachment and it activates the kill switch and now you have a 700 kill switch. I think some of the Software Kill switches, these pass codes that are required to activate the phones or email addresses and passwords that are required to get the phones to work once they are stolen that you can activate on the iphone. I think those are great steps as well. This is useless to me. There are still plenty of valuable parts here that can be taken out. I think a good solution would be a nationwide data base of stolen phones and their serial numbers. The cell providers. We will see how all of this plays out in other states. Thank you for offering your perspective. Can you believe its been nearly 20 years . We just finished talking to goldmans sister. Vladimir putin flexes his muscle in dramatic fashion.

And earlier in moscow, the enigmatic leader presided over a show of military might. Linda joins us here in washington to talk about this. She is staff writer. A lot of symbolism today and all of it seems to point to this newly asserted moscow. Indeed. This is putins first visit. This and the an exation has been called the third and in going to crimea, he is linking the russian victory against the nazi government. You called this a calculated move. What do you think the message is here to the west . I think the message is that putin successfully annexed crimea. He violated international law. This is an annexation not recognized by anyone. Just this morning we saw continued slashed and up to 20 people might be dead. He is clearly flexing these muscles today. And to sort of piggy back, what do you think the direct message is here ukraine . I think the message is russia is in full control of crimea. When he was celebrating with the black sea fleet, they seriously damaged their armed forces as well. To try to stop the activities in the eastern ukraine. The message is that they wont be successful. Just curious, do you know what the reception was like for pu tmpbl in. And coming up right here, it has been two months since flight 370 has been missing. First a disturbing new report that the Nigerian Government was warned about the kidnapping. 24 7. Im sorry, im just really reluctant to try new things. Really . Whats wrong with trying new things . Look mommys new vacuum cat screech you feel that in your muscles . I do. Drink water. Its a long story. Well, not having branches lets us give you great rates and service. Id like that. A new way to bank. A better way to save. Ally bank. Your money needs an ally. And it feels like your lifeate revolves around your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira adalimumab. Humira has been proven to work for adults who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. In clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief, and many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. Blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening Heart Failure have occurred. Before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. Ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. Tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. You should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira today. Remission is possible. Its not for colds, its not for pain, its just for sleep. Because sleep is a beautiful thing™. Zzzquil. The nonhabit forming sleep aid from the makers of nyquil®. We have learned that there is an elite group formed to help find hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped by boko haram. This rescue attempt coming after the families of the girls tried it on their own. They said an army would be there. Civilians would be there and they will accompany us to go into the bush. Were they there . We went there and none of them were there. Only the parents. We enter the bush almost 86 kilometers from the area. We were over there. But you people, you will lose your life. And we are now learning about an explosive report from Amnesty International claiming it is evidence that the government knew boko haram was going to strike four hours ahead of time. Apparently they couldnt scramble together enough forces to respond. So, if you would, just starting off here, tell us where did you intelligence come from and the evidence come from to support this report . Absolutely. Amnesty international spoke with senior officials and local officials in the region to gather evidence that we released this morning that the Nigerian Government knew up to four hours in advance that these attacks would happen and did not take adequate action to prevent them. You said they didnt take adequate action. Did they not respond at all . Did they try to respond . What happened . We have evidence that there were a little more than a dozen Nigerian Military troops if you will that attempted to repel the boko haram attackers but were unsuccessful in that and given that they knew many hours in advance that this attack was going to happen, indeed we found evidence that a boko haram fighter had gone through the town asking where the girls school was and the Nigerian Military forces did not take action to get reinforcements and do what they needed to do to protect the civilians. We have reached out to the Nigerian Government. How about Amnesty International. What is the response to this explosive report . None that we have been able to have from them. We reached out to the Nigerian Military and no response. Christine, the Nigerian Government first told the world they had rescued the girls when we learned they havent. The girls are still kidnapped. What do you think this all means, the way this is played out, the way the government has reacted. Do you think its a reflection of them trying to save face . Thats certainly what it looks like. Our first and foremost concern is the safety of these girls. The fact that they have been inactive for several weeks. All right. Thank you and of course we will be awaiting a response back from the Nigerian Government on this. We appreciate it. Thank you. More than two months after flight 370 vanished, the heartbroken families sent another letter demanding they take the information back to the drawing board. They question how authorities can be certain that the boeing 777 crashed into the indian ocean since there is no physical evidence. Many Satellite Experts believe the search could be happening not just in the wrong spot but in the wrong ocean. The math is somewhat straightforward. I describe it as being a game like marco polo. You have got the satellite sending pings and you have got these basic characteristics. One of those, for example, is that the plane is stationary on the runway before takeoff and the satellite isnt moving relative to that position. You would expect there to be no frequency shifts. If you look at the beginning of the graphic, its up to 85 hertz. Something is off with that interpretation. Joining me now to discuss this is an accident investigator. So how exactly did they come to doubt what this investigation has hinged on. We have been hearing from scientists who are very legitimate scientists. They have been asking us to communicate as much as we could to inmarsat and malaysia did release that information. When they took a look at that information, they said wait a minute. This doesnt make sense. The analysis is wrong. The data is not incorrect. That inmarsat provided the correct data. What they tried to figure out is how are we going to figure out where this came from . Theres still one piece of information missing. They want more information for the scientists. David, this report compares the pings to a game of marco polo. But the article says the pings only tell you how far away the plane is, not the direct. So in that light, what do you think led searchers to this southern ark . What its telling you is that the relationship between how far away or how close the handshaker is to the satellite. As it goes further away it can be further away south or to the north. And then the ones flying in the southern route and lets compare the two together the ones that they received from the north were different from those in the south. What this report questions is there is a relationship between the movement of the satellite and the receiving ground station. The question is, is the relationship different than the relationship between the ground station and the aircraft in the south . That raises more questions and it goes right back to where is this information not being shared and why is it not . That needs to come out. This is a communications company. This is a new technique to Old Technology and here we are two months out and no plain. No surprise that people are questioning this. David, thank you. We told you about two brothers about to star in their own tv show that was cancelled because of their beliefs. Hear what really happened to cause them to lose their show. Democrats are not so sure they want to take part. The latest from washington after a quick break. I could feel the shock in my back and it was like wow its got to get better than this or im in big trouble. Several republicans with highly soft spots to investigate benghazi. Democrats for their part are yet to decide whether to claim their spots at all on this committee. The benghazi attack already has been the subject of eight congressional probes. Nancy pelosi said naming the special committee is a stunt. The big question is what are the democrats going to do . Whats the calculus here . Well, the question right now is it hasnt quite come to a boycott. Democr democrats i just got off the phone says they are not willing to participate. There concern they say is that there have been abuses by the House Committee on the reform and oversite committee. And they want the democrats want to make sure this is fair. That they have the same access to withins that the republicans have. They are no longer still pushing for equal representation on the committee but they want to make sure its fair. But it really seems to be touch and go. It seems that they would have a lot to lose if there was not a voice from a democrat on the committee . Thats one of the arguments. Democrats should participate no matter what and argue that we should participate no matter what. But the counter argument would be that democrats say that if we participate, we are lending this committee a legitimacy, a bipartisan stamp that we dont want to do. Those are the insternl arguments that im hearing when i talk to democrats on the hill. Right now i really think it could go either way. I if i had to predict right now on todays facts or this seconds facts, i would predict the democrats end up boycotting the committee. Interesting. We will be hearing more in the show. Thanks, jake. Thank you, pamela. President obama today announced a new slate of actions for Climate Control and jobs creation. The president said hundreds of businesses have agreed to upgrade their commitment.

We would love to work with hgtv. We absolutely love the executives there. You dont feel wronged at all . We dont feel wronged at all. As david said, this isnt hg versus us or us against the gay this is an agenda. An agenda flip it forward will not air now. They believe this vehicle is registered to one of o. J. s friends, a teammate at southern cal. You probably recognize that, the infamous white bronco chase. His buddy is behind the wheel and police in a long steady pursuit. They were trying to arrest simpson for the every moment of the murder trial that followed was carried live on tv and was quickly known as the trial of the century. It transcended legal analysts and an entire network devoted to court tv. The situation was painful, especially for ron goldmans father and his sister who sat side by side throughout the trial. Sunny hostin spoke with his sister. Tell us what she said to you. Well, shes a lovely person. We spoke for quite some time. Ive read the book. It really is a mustread. She explained that she is that closure really for her is not really possible when the your loved one is murdered in the crime of the century. Its something that comes up all the time. But in terms of her journey and trying to become healthy and honoring her brother, the one person that she has reached out to is the man she calls the killer. Take a listen to this. For years, i have listened to it, what everybody has to say about you. The lawyers, the media, but never ive had a chance to talk to you. I realize our few interactions have not been great but i wonder if you would grant me a visitation to let me to get to know the real you. Do you still want to meet with him . I dont need it as much because actually writing this letter, what i didnt anticipate was how soft i had to become, how vulnerable i to become and then the second that i was able to put his prisoner number on the front of that envelope before i dropped it in the mail was like mind blowing. I just didnt realize how much of an impact that would have on me. If i was ever so she has not met with the man, again, she calls the killer of her brother. She refuses to mention his name. And i wont do that in honor of her. But she certainly is on her way, i think, to healing from this. She did mention, though, pam, that every june 12th, which is the anniversary of the murder of her brother, she really goes into somewhat of a depression. She replays every single moment of that day and its still very, very, very difficult for her. As we can see her getting so emotional, understandably. Sunny, the goldmans got a very small measure of justice in the civil trial in which he i wont say his name now is ordered to pay millions of dollars in damage. Do you know, has ken goldman received any of that money . You know, they got 33. 5 million civil settlement. At this time its worth 40 million. Shes only received 0. 075 of that settlement. She says that the killer of her brother has basically been able to hide any funds from them and they really havent been able to really retrieve much of that settlement. Sunny hostin, thank you. We appreciate it. Thanks. Up next, breaking barriers on and off the ice. Young girls skating their way to success. And who do you think are the most powerful moms of 2014 .

New car hey [squeals] [ewh ] [baby crying] the great thing about a subaru is you dont have to put up with that new car smell for long. The versatile, 2015 subaru forester. Love. Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. One group of girls in new york citys harlem is focused on ice all year round. Ice skating, that is. The pricey sport is out of reach for many kids but one woman has made it her mission to help these girls succeed on and off the rink. I love the crunchy feeling of the air. I just want to fly. I just dont want to stop. I heard that there were some girls that nt waed to figure skate in harlem. Growing up, i knew that it was a diverse sport. There was not access for kids in low income communities. They were so eager to get started, i began teaching them and it was really inspiring to me. Slow. And now we serve over 200 girls a year. Look at those spins. You did it. The best part about skating is that it gives you quality. You gain discipline, perseverance. Step cross, step cross. Excellent, girls. They fall down, get back up, and learn that they can do that in anything. Its a building block. Skating is the hook but education comes first. They have to get their homework done a minimum of three afternoons a week. Algebra was not my thing. She helped many he get back up. Now im doing way better in school. Ladies and gentlemen, harlem ice. You want girls that know and believe they can do anything that they put their hearts and minds to. Its not all about skating. Shes teaching us to be the best that we can be. And every week we honor a cnn hero, an every day person doing extraordinary work to help others.
