Transcripts For CNNW Anderson Cooper 360 20140520

More remarks to me made to me in an attempt to explain himself and ask for a second chance. Here with details Rachel Nichols and our senior legal analyst. The statement from the nba, walk us through. They are not only laying out a absolutely. These are the official charges against Donald Sterling, this is what weve been waiting for since adam silver came out and gave that press conference saying he was going to pressure the nba ownership to force Donald Sterling to give up his team. First they had to notify him. That they wanted to do that. Thats what they announced that they did today. Sterling has five days from today to respond. Hes going to do that legally, we expect him to possibly even go into the court system file at least a temporary injunction. Even if he cant win he will get some kind of small victory. Against the nba. If he doesnt, if he does respond to those charges within the five day period then the nba has ten days after that to hold this hearing. Guess what, anderson . They are not waiting that long. They announced they will hold a hearing on june 3rd and thats when the board of governors will vote to strip him of his team. They also said in this announcement why they are going to do that. We all know the reasons weve been following this story for weeks. They cite basically the damage that he has done with his comments against minorities to the nba as a league, the damage that hes done to the leagues relationship with its fans and the damage hes done to the leagues reputation. The nba in their comments, they cite not only the original statements but something that he said to me in our interview and i want to play that for our viewers. Thats one problem i have. Jews, when they get successful, they will help their people. And some of the africanamerican, maybe ill get in trouble again, they dont want to help anybody. So maybe ill get in trouble again. I think hes right. What he said theres a violation in the nba constitution. According to the according to the document released today. The general thrust of the argument is that this was not just something that interfered with that was bad politics, it was interfering with the business of the nba. If you look at the statement the nba released they emphasized the fact that sponsors are leaving, players are threatening not to play, that the financial interests of the nba are hurt and thats why they are making this move. Rachel, Donald Sterling told me last week he spoke to some of the owners and claimed they supported him but he wouldnt say anybody he wouldnt give me the name of anybody who supported him. Is there any doubt that the owners will vote to remove him . You know, theres some chatter in private, some owners saying that they were a little bit concerned even publicly, mark cuban the owner of the Dallas Mavericks was a little bit worried about the slippery slope of a private tape recording being made public and owners put on trial for the private conversations they had. Honestly, anderson, the conversations ive had around the league in the past week say that your interview basically cleared everyones conscience. If there were any owners who were concerned about, gee, should we be kicking someone out because of a private tape now feel more comfortable. Now Donald Sterling went on tv with you and made statements that were abhorrent. Shelly sterling, donalds wife made clear they intend to sue as well, and shelly went as far as to directly threaten she wants to get the other owners into depositions asking them about private lives and conversations to compare, gee, is what we did so bad . Thats a concept a lot of other owners are not crazy about. None of them want to be the person who stood up with Donald Sterling. Adam silver from the nba has put so much public pressure on everyone, no one wants to be that guy. I dont see any problem. Jeff, could she do that . Could she get depositions from other owners . I doubt it. Thats the threat shes got hanging out there. Her lawyer released a Statement Today and said that the nbas filing was actually voluminous. All we saw was the press release. They have a long bill of particulars against the sterlings. But thing i thought was interesting in the nbas statement is they kept referring to membership in the association. That being an owner, not like you own a piece of property, youre a member of an association and we can decide who our members are and who they arent and were getting rid of all the sterlings, mr. , mrs. , baby sterlings, they are all out according to the nba. Jeff, thanks very much. The crack down on creepware. If you dont know about this and have a child or a computer in your bedroom, you should hear about this.

Explain when you first realized what had happened. When i first received the email the first night i found this happened i was in shock. He sent you a picture. He sent me an email with three options. They said, do as i say or im going to release every photo i have of you. He had multiple photos he had taken of me. Did you instantly know where the photos were. I saw my tv, the way i hung my backpack, i knew it was my bedroom and it was taken from my webcam. Did you know this person well . Or just somebody in your school . I knew his name and i knew him from passing but not personally. So what did you first think . How did you First Respond . Oh, my gosh i was speechless. I read it on my iphone and i threw my iphone across the room. My mom was in contact me when this was happening. We were in tears and in shock. We didnt believe this could really happen. So scary. I know. It was traumatizing. And its so great to hear them coming up with this and bringing light to such an important cause because i know what it peoples like to go through Something Like this. You went to police. We contacted the police the first night and then contacted the fbi the following day. And you hear that, you know, as many as 700,000 victims in this, people who have gone through this. I mean, its incredible. Its insane. Had you any idea that a camera on your computer could be remotely accessed . I seen it in movies but i didnt think it happened in real life. Whats your message to people out there . To be cautious of what youre doing on and around your computer and to keep a sticker on your webcam to delete your browsing history, cookies, be careful with your password. I have a lot of tips. Ive gone and talked to a lot of schools and girls and guys my own age because i feel thats the age group i really want to share my story with because were the ones that are sort of naive and dont believe this can happen. I feel thats the age group i should speak to. I have a couple of tips. Also such a sense of violation in the privacy of your own home, your computer its your bedroom. Thats your most private intimate space and thats where you should feel the most safe but to think somebody was watching me in my bedroom for a year and had all my most intimate moments and had conversation i had with my mom and my brother and knew everything about my life and somebody could have access to all that. He could hear what you were saying . Yeah. He referred to certain conversations i had with my mom, my brother. When you didnt give into his demands what did he do . He lashed out even more. He requested even more. He had a tracker on my email where he could see when i opened an email. And if i didnt respond to him, which i didnt, he would send me more emails with time limits of, if you dont do what i say in five minutes im going to post every photo of i have of you for the world to see. Do you have a computer that has a camera on it . I got a brand new computer but i have a sticker on it. I have my computer shut. I only go on my computer for homework, school or work related. You dont keep your laptop open with the camera uncovered . Correct. I mean, i think i learned my lesson. Incredible. Youre really brave for speaking out and helping so many other people. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Its great to have you here. Quick reminder make sure you set your dvr to catch 360 whenever you like. Growing questions about what president obama and other top officials knew about problems in the va hospital. And the possibility theyve known from day one. What you need to know about to stay safe now that a deadly virus has made it to this country and spread for the first time here from person to person. Dr. Sanjay gupta joins us. Growing scandal over the care of ameriprise asked people a simple question in retirement, will you outlive your money . Uhhh. No, that cant happen. Thats the thing, you dont know how long it has to last. Everyone has retirement questions. So ameriprise created the exclusive. Confident retirement approach. Now you and your ameripise advisor can get the real answers you need. Well, knowing gives you confidence. Start building your confident retirement today. I got more advice than i knew what to do with. What i needed was information i could trust on how to take care of me and my baby. Luckily, unitedhealthcare has a Simple Program that helps moms stay on track with their doctors and get the right care and guidancebefore and after the baby is born. Simple is good right now. anncr vo innovations that work for you. Thats health in numbers. Unitedhealthcare. Growing scandal over the care of men and women who vowed to defend it. They have waited and died wile waiting. Waiting for months while hospitals cooked the books to cover it up. Weve been on story from the very beginning long before the problems in the phoenix va system catapulted this to a National Scandal but so far triggered federal investigations, two congressional probes and the departure of a top va official. And landed secretary shinseki in the hot seat. He said hes mad as hell. He wont sit down and talk to us about it. Weve been trying to get an interview with Eric Shinseki since last november. Youve been trying for months. I didnt get a callback today. Again no response to our request. They do not respond. Were again requesting an interview with general shinseki. The invitation for secretary shinseki to come on the program. President obama is said to be mad as hell. Both promise to fix the problems. The question is how long have they known something was wrong . When was the president first made aware of these problems, of these fraudulent lists that were being kept to hide the wait times. When was he first made aware of those problems and when did other white house officials, Top White House officials become aware of these problems. When you say these problems, the fact that there have been the specific allegations that were reported by your network out of phoenix we learned them through the reports. So keeping them honest that may be true in the narrowest sense. Pertaining directly to phoenix. Which begs the question, since this appears to be a long standing and widespread practice of fudging the numbers and playing games with waiting lists, how long has the administration known about that . Drew griffin joins us with more. So, it seems to be boiling down a question president s are always asked when scandals emerge what did the president know and when. Thats why jay carney today made clear he was talking about the scandal in phoenix when the president first learned from cnns report presumably on this program because thats when we first told the story about the secret wait list and allegations that as many as 40 veterans died waiting for care. The other bigger question emerging through all of this is just how long the president and his staff have known about these huge wait lists at va hospitals across the country and the fact veterans have been dying waiting for care. He certainly talked about it way back in 2007 when he was on the campaign trail. But a new report, anderson, in the the Washington Times he also knew back in 2008 there was a problem with the wait time data. Thats when wait times being reported were unreliable and not to be trusted according to times. The president and his incoming team were briefed about it in that transitional period just before he took office. So while not exactly like our reporting in arizona is certainly similar thats the question why has it taken this so long to do anything about it . And just to be clear, theres no proof anyone in the white house knew specifically about the secret lists in phoenix ahead of your report . No. But did the va know about that in advance and more specifically did the va leadership know about possible destruction of evidence of that list had existed. That we do know as investigators from the office of Inspector General have known about the phoenix issue since last fall and an investigation was under way since last fall, and very recently there have been these allegations that evidence in that investigation was being destroyed. Today was the vas deadline to respond to a congressional subpoena to turn over any evidence, emails, or reports that discuss what was happening in phoenix. Material was delivered in congress, anderson. We dont know whats in it. All of this has taken place while you say the investigations are expanding . Yeah. They are expanding. Let me remind you what the va secretary Eric Shinseki told the Senate Last Week about the allegations that va hospitals under his control are trying to hide the true wait times of veterans waiting for care. The allegation that the va is cooking the books. In your judgment, based on what you know, are people quoteunquote cooking the books . Is that, in fact, a problem within the Health Care System . Im not aware other than a number of isolated cases where there is evidence of that. But the fact that theres evidence in a couple of cases behooves us to take a thorough work. There are Inspector General investigations and or allegations of manipulating wait times in at least ten states. The latest albuquerque, new mexico and now gainesville, florida where cnn has confirmed three more Health Officials have been placed on administrative leave and Inspector General investigation is under way. We had several whistle blowers worked in the va as clerks. They have come forward telling us they were told to cook the books, hide actual wait times. That may be why general shinseki thinks this is isolated but to a lot of people its looking more and more systemic and the problem is yet to be fixed. Thanks very much. Well continue to stay on this story. Another troubling first for a virus that looks like the common cold but kills one in three people who catch it. First american person to person transmission of mers or middle eastern respiratory syndrome. Heres the good news the First American patient survived so did the second. Hes out of the hospital. The bad news is a third person has tested positive for the virus and how you got it is raising serious concerns. Heres with the fact, dr. Sanjay gupta. This new case of mers was passed just by a handshake. Does that change everything we think we know about this virus . It could, anderson. Theres a couple of important caveats here. When we think about this virus spreading only through close contact what we typically mean is Health Care Workers or family members, people who have prolonged contact with a sick person. Whats very important to point out and you may have heard this new case was someone who did not become ill, they werent sick, they were screened because they had come in contact with someone that was known have the infection. They didnt become ill themselves. Also they didnt find the virus in this third persons body they found what are known as antibodies. Antibodies, are a clue that the virus was there and the body fought it off but didnt find the virus itself. So whats interesting here there could be a lot of people exposed to mers, got mildly ill didnt
