Transcripts For CNNW The Lead With Jake Tapper 20140626 : co

Gopro craze. But is there really big money in these tiny cameras . Im jim sciutto filling in for jake tapper. We begin with the world lead with very simple terms, iraq is falling apart. Extremists are seizing entire regions inside the country. Among the many, many issues concerning president obama right now, this one is paramount. Except when the world cup is on. Clearly you werent the only one skipping work this afternoon like me to watch the usa drop its game with germany, 1zip. Still advanced to the next round. Okay, well, hes the president. Hes got plenty of underling tosses monitor iraq like those at the state department. Such as spokeswoman marie harve who wore a usa sweatshirt to the briefing which was moved up in order to show the game in the briefing room. At least congress is in on the iraq problem, right . Thats House Speaker john boehner with his back to the camera and his eyes on the world cup. Nothing wrong with a little patriotic cheering for americas team. Trust me, were obsessed, too. Well talk about that in a minute. Returning to our focus on iraq, how much longer than al maliki stay in power as his country slips further into chaoses . Senior u. S. Officials and arab diplomats tell cnn his ouster may be a foregone conclusion, especially after he rejected u. S. Appeals to form an emergency unity a government right now. Opening it up to the sunnis that hes kept can out for eight years. With the hope of subduing sunni hill tants seizing entire portions of iraq and syria, the terrorist Militia Group called the Islamic State in iraq or isis say unless a new more inclusive government is formed in iraq, the u. S. Will not launch air strikes yet as they requested. But do they need the u. S. If they now have syria . Iraqs Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki welcomed syrian air strikes like this one targeting isis militants now threatening his country. Translator we actually welcome nel Syrian Strike against isis but we didnt make any requests of syria. They carry out their strikes and we carry out ours and the final winners are our two countries. But the deadly risks were immediately clear. 57 iraqi civilians killed in the air an assault this week, more than 120 others wounded. Traveling in iraq this week, secretary of state john kerry vowed intense and sustained support. With 90 american servicemen arriving today, be 220 u. S. Military advisors are now on the ground. Though so far, the u. S. Has avoided air strikes. You said sustained and intense would be u. S. Military action would be sustained and intense if the president decides to go forward. Could you better define the time frame and measure of success of military action. Is it isis destroyed or retreating or partial retreat . Thats precisely the strategy that needs to be defined as we go forward. What i said would be intense would be the support to the government of iraq and our efforts to try to help rebuild the military structure as well as hopefully support a new unity government. Isis militants are now warning that any u. S. Strikes will be met by attacks on americans. Sitting on a terrace at the u. S. Ambassadors residence in paris, kerry met with the Prime Ministers of jordan, United Arab Emirates and saudi arabia pulling the leaders together to reinforce the point its not just a threat to iraq but to the entire region and in fact the globe. Iraq obviously is one of the predominant once. It concerns every single country here. The Iraqs Parliament has been called to meet next week but is this a meaningful first step in forming that unity government as the u. S. Has been asking maliki to do . Right now thats unclear. Lets talking to republican senator ron johnson of wisconsin who serves on the Foreign Relations and Homeland Security committee. Senator johnson, i was traveling with secretary kerry this week. Clearly a lot is riding on Prime Minister maliki to form this unity government. Is the administration placing too much faith in him . Do you have any confidence that maliki will deliver . Well, jim, no, are i dont. What were witnessing here is a real tragedy. Its a tragedy i dont think had to happen. Weve lost the influence we had and we would have had influence if we would have left behind a stabilizing force. So im afraid hutchty dumptys broken now. Unfortunately, what we are witnessing is the establishment of a new state, al qaedastan stn what the wall street journal termed it. We need to assess the situation. We have to not deny reality and understand whats happening here. Weve witnessing it the breakup of iraq. Kurdistan in the north, we need to make sure that we protect our friends and allies, jordan, we need to make sure isis cannot attack jordan and do everything we can to help stabilize israel. This is a tragedy that never had to happen. Were in a pretty bad state right now. Senator johnson, as the u. S. Is waiting, the syrians have carried out air strikes along the border, some signs theyve carried inside iraqi territory, the iranians moving a great deal of military equipment in, forces on the ground, even drones flying over iraq as the u. S. Does, as well. As this is happening, is the u. S. In effect ceding iraq to its neighbors one with totally different motivations than the u. S. We ceded it when president obama made that historic blunder of not leaving a stabilizing force behind. Right now, our primary goal in baghdad is to protect the americans that are there in our embassy. Im highly concerned about that. I have not heard a plan of this administration to better come up with fast. They better start acting to stabilize jordan. They better start acting to stabilize kurdistan and lets not force israel into any kind of destabilizing agreements. I have to ask you, senator johnson, im familiar with thiscrit sax thats come from you and other republican senators, as well that president obama did not negotiate a status of forces ingredient to keep troops in iraq after 2011. How far would you be willing to go in this Current Situation . Would you authorize u. S. Combat troops into the ground in iraq again three years after they left there . How far would you be willing to go . It depends on what the administration puts forth as a plan. But if the administration i would be happy to send American Military personnel into the kurdistan region so we can help stabilize that. Id be happy top send American Military personnel into jordan to make sure that doesnt fall to isis. In terms of baghdad, look at the choices we face right now. Are we going to ally with iran or assad . All the choices at this point are bad because of this administrations historic strategic blunder. So were looking for this administration is a game plan. Weve had the briefings. Its grim. You were there in iraq. Do you think humptydumpty can be put back together again . Its about stabilizing what is stable in that region and hopefully you learn from the past mistakes. Just to be clear, you would be in favor if the administration presented this option of sending combat troops into kurdistan and to defend baghdad back into the line of fire . Im not sure about baghdad. I dont know what plan can do that at this point in time. I absolutely support sending troops to protect americans and evacuate them if it comes to that. It may be coming to that sooner than we think. Im highly concerned about americans in baghdad because of this rolling disaster now. But i want to see a game plan from this administration. We havent seen that yet. But what about another concern of intelligence officials theyve reminded us repeatedly, there are americans fighting now for isis, some 50, 60 some odd in syria, presumably some have crossed the border into iraq. Great fear of them returning home carrying out acts of terrorism. Is there an argument here to go to iraq to protect the homeland, you remember the Homeland Security committee from the attacks emanating from isis . Youre describing the geopolitical disaster that is currently now iraq. You know, so yeah, we realize that al qaeda is not on the run. It is metasized and gaining strength and represents a real theyre the to our national security. We had a debate. President obama declared the war on terror over a year ago. He wanted to repeal the repeal for force against al qaeda and associated groups. He wanted to repeal that. We had a hearing asking what does he want to do now, what authority does he need from congress . This administrationing had no input whatsoever in terms of what they want to do. The president obama is the commander in chief. What is his plan . What is his strategy . Hes certainly not at thing congress or the American People and hes the only one that can do it. Senator johnson, a bold call for more u. S. Military action in iraq. Thank you very much for your time. He was a famous practitioner of the lost art of compromise in washington. And a towering figure in the Republican Party for decade upon decade. Today, howard baker, former Senate Majority leader and chief of staff to president reagan died at the age of r. Baker who hailed from tennessee was first elected to the senate in 1964, joined the Reagan White House in 1987 during the iran con tran scandal. Former first Lady Nancy Reagan release a statement reading howard was one of ronnies most valued advisors. His available to create cooperation between the white house and congress was unparalleled. More importantly, he was a good and trusted friend. Coming up on the lead, nobody thought they could do it, but the u. S. Team survived the group of death. Whats in store for them when they move into the knockout round . Ill ask former usa goalkeeper tony meola next. Plus, another Government Agency admits to losing emails that should have been kept. Whats the excuse this time . Quiet mom has a headache had a headache but now, i dont. Excedrin is fast. In fact for some, relief starts in just 15 minutes. Excedrin. Headache. Gone.

Across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. When we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. Thats not a coincidence. Its one more part of our commitment to america. Welcome back to the lead and the sports lead. Good news, america. Most you get to slack off work and pretend to like soccer for one more game now even though team usa fell to a very tough german team today in a punishing 1nil match, a fitting farewell to the socalled group of death. Were still alive thanks to a little help from portugal. That portugal who beat ghana and sprung the u. S. To the round of 16 off the foot of Cristian Renaldo who was public enemy number one a few days ago and now be the dreamiest dude on mount rushmore. Laura ra baldesarra joins us from recife, brazil. No one expected them when the group was announced but how excited were the fans down there. Im jealous of you were right in the middle of it. It was a pretty intense match, i will tell you that much. No one expected the usa to progress from the group stage. In fact, people were saying if the usa managed to progress from the group stage, that would purely be the biggest success for this american squad, no matter what happens moving forward from here. Now, at the actual match, i was actually surprised because there seemed to be a lot more german fans and much louder german fans than there were american fans. There were a lot of american fans. But the germans were outsinging, outchanting them outpretty much everything. With the result we saw today, the usa is progressing, defying all of our expectations and now moving forward, it would it be either belgium or algaia the usa will play. Ive got to tell you, i like these next matches simply because if the usa can get through what they already did, playing belgium or algeria, thats a walk in the park for them pretty much. Im projecting that the usa is moving through the round of 16 and right into the quarter finals. Im with you. A lot tougher teams they could be facing in the next round, brazil, argentina. The lara baldesarra is right in the middle of it. I want to bring in a member of the National Soccer hall of fame, hes tony meola. He played 20 years ago in 1949 when the world cup was in the u. S. They came out of the group of death. There were a lot of doubters out there. How are you feeling right now . I know youre very connected to this team. Certainly from a u. S. Soccer standpoint, we should be proud of this group. Im one of the crazy ones. When the draw came out, i thought this was a group they could go through. I looked and said can ghana beat us three times . I thought they could get at portugal and they did and i thought it would come down to the germany game. They got the result they needed. Kudos to jurgen klinsmann, his boys. Yes, i am connected like most of the former players are. This is a big day for u. S. Soccer as we continue tro grow the sport here domestically both with major league socceren at national team. Lets talk about tim howard because he had a tough game. Germany took 13 shots on goal. The u. S. Took just four. You know, he had some great saves in there. Whats it feel like for a goalkeeper like that in a game like this under pressure every shot . And really the u. S. A lookout match for a lot of the game. The first 20 minutes, it was a little bit shaky. I listened to Jurgen Klinsmanns comment after the game. Timmy for me had a clean game today. Not a heck of a lot of spectacular stuff that one save is, the first save which eventually led to the goal on the restart was a super save, but it was very clean today. When youre in a game and youre under pressure, youre defending with ten players and a team like germanys pressing you, you always want to know you have a guy behind you thats solid. I said going into the world cup, i thought this would be tim howards world cup. This is probably the last one hell play in at 35 years old. Hes come up in spades for the u. S. Team. And were going to need him moving forward. Let me ask you you about the next round. Probably going to face belgium if belgium wins group h, a possibility of algeria. What do you think of their chances there . There are a lot of tougher teams they could have ended up facing in the round of 16. There are. Belgium is an excellent team. I think most people, most experts pick as the Surprise Team of this world cup, very talented although very young at the international staining. But players like eden hazard it, the list goes on and on. Its going to be a difficult task. Theres no question. It looks like its going to be belgium at the end of the day. But i look at it and say you look at the germany result and the portugal result. Theres no reason why this team cant go and compete. Im convinced in knowing this group fairly well that they will go and compete. Ive got to ask you, because 20 years ago when the world cup was played here in the u. S. , there were a lot of soccer fans. I was one of them. You were a big star at the time. But soccer has grown in that time period. That usa portugal game, there were 25 Million People who watched it, more than the nba finals and some of the world series baseball games. Are you amazed to see how much the sports it fan base has grown for interNational Soccer in the u. S. . Yeah, no question. 25 Million People and some estimate with all these watch parties around the country, it was closer to 30 House Speaker<\/a> john boehner with his back to the camera and his eyes on the world cup. Nothing wrong with a little patriotic cheering for americas team. Trust me, were obsessed, too. Well talk about that in a minute. Returning to our focus on iraq, how much longer than al maliki stay in power as his country slips further into chaoses . Senior u. S.

That usa portugal game, there were 25 Million People<\/a> who watched it, more than the nba finals and some of the world series baseball games. Are you amazed to see how much the sports it fan base has grown for interNational Soccer<\/a> in the u. S. . Yeah, no question. 25 Million People<\/a> and some estimate with all these watch parties around the country, it was closer to 30 Million People<\/a>. It just goes to show were growing. Were growing as a soccer nation. We continue to grow. We grow in different marks around the country through major league soccer, whether its seattle or portland or kansas city or any of the other markets in the league, and we continue to grow as a national team. And this is, you know, really the definition of soccer nation is what you want to put it at. As if 25 million is the number, 50 million, whatever it is it continues to grow. As someone who promotes it every day, its nice to see. How much difference does that make on the field . You certainly hear the crowd. Knowing you have the country behind you, that theyre living and dying by every goal scored and every penalty called . I mean, how much of a driver is that for players on the field . Well, its huge. Believe me, the players feel it. They feel the when the fans ramp it up a little bit. And we have a great Supporters Group<\/a> in the country. Its called the american outlaws. Its a group that just amazingly continues to grow and grow and grow and the things they do to support this team, the distances they travel, im guessing the money that they spend is astronomical for them. But they continue to support and bring people on. And i tell them all the time when i see them but i might, as well say it here, an the players realize it and an its much appreciated.

In other world news, a stunning theory in the investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines<\/a> flight 370. A new report by Australian Authorities<\/a> says its likely the 777 became a socalled ghost plane gliding through the air on autopilot after the crew and passengers somehow lost consciousness leading them to a new search area much further south than the last season and much larger, about 23,000 square miles. Aviation correspondent rene marsh is here to explain. No new information. Its a new analysis of the information, it the satellites, et cetera they already had. Absolutely. Theyre relying on new theories. They have a new search area, but the data remains the same. What has changed is the way that theyre looking at it. And what is stunning is for the first time in a very detailed report, we get some insight on what teams doing the analysis think about what happened on flight 370. A startling scenario, the pilots of Malaysia Airlines<\/a> flight 370 unconscious. The plane not under human control. As it flew more than five hours across the indian ocean. It is highly, highly likely that the aircraft was on autopilot. Otherwise, it could not have followed the orderly path that has that has been identified through the satellite sightings. A 64page report details the assumptions leading to a new search area. The plane still flying if somehow sucked of oxygen. Everyone on board passed out. It happened on golfer Payne Stewarts<\/a> learjet in 1999 and again in 2005 on a greek passenger flight. All 121 people killed. When you get above 35,000 feet, were talking 5 to 10 seconds of useful consciousness. As a pilot suffers hypoxia, the motor skills decrease, judgment decreases. The Australian Government<\/a> is only focused on finding the plane. The cause is being left up to malaysian investigators. But the questions as to why this occurred are not ones that we need to address in determining the search area which has been our focus. The assumptions lead here, the new search area highlighted in orange still along the seventh arc where flight 370 made its final satellite connection. This site is the best available and most likely place where the aircraft is resting. But weve heard that before. When the focus was 500 miles northeast where bluefin21 searched with no sign of flight 3 0. This many new search zone is massive, roughly the size of west virginia. Search crews were here before months ago looking for floating debris. But nothing was found. Now the search returns to go miles underwater. The search will still be painstaking of course, we could be fortunate and find it in the first hour or the first day. But it could take another 12 months. Meanwhile the man who had been the face of the malaysian investigation has been replaced. The change had nothing to do with the missing plane but did have to do with politics. Were talking about had i shamu dean hussein. He was only the acting transport minister. He does remain the minister of defense. He has now gotten back into his original position, no longer in charge of this investigation at this point. Theyre talking about a big change sending all the resources to a whole other spot in the ocean. How much confidence do they have in this latest of many. Analyses . The bottom line is this. This is all that they have. They have very little data. Theyve taken that data. Theyve refined it as far as they can possibly go. Theyve built in those assumptions we just talked about in the piece. So they feel as confident i guess as you can feel with lack of any other hard evidence. Maybe thats something we have to accept that theyre doing their best with inperfect information and never 100 sure till they find is the plane on the ocean. Thanks very much, rene marsh.

Whats your policy . Welcome back to the lead. It is the latest twist in the case of the missing emails. The mystery started a couple weeks ago when the irs claimed some of the emails at the center of a scandal whether the agency unfairly targeted Tea Party Groups<\/a> had disappeared. Now its the Environmental Protection<\/a> agency thats told the House Oversight<\/a> committee that they are unable to access some emails from a biologist who worked on a controversial gold and Copper Mining<\/a> mine in alaska. Whats going on . Can be this be a error, computer glitch or is there something political behind it . Tom foreman explains. No one knows more about this hitech stuff than you. Tell us whats going on. Im sure somebody does. Let me get numbers rolling back here because to understand this problem, you have to talk about not just the words involved but also numbers. Really big numbers. If every federal worker in the executive branch alone sent and received as many emails as an average business user, that would be more than 325 million a day or 3,777 every second. Thats a lot to keep track of 37 and now not only the irs but also the epa is saying we may have some emails that we cannot produce that we should have kept. The irs boss says part of the problem is budget cuts have made it hard to improve or maintain the governments vast network of computers. Since january 1 of this year, for example, over 2,000 irs employees have suffered hard drive crashes. Still, listen to what the u. S. Archivist says about losing those records and not reporting it. They did not follow the law. This is a longstanding problem. Back in 2008, citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington noted that many agencies still print out documents and then physically store the paper. And millions of important records have been lost. Of in the controversial firings of those u. S. Attorneys under president george w. Bush, some memos regarding the interrogation of terror suspects and in the madoff investigation. He can changes between government officials that are pure gold to watchdog groups. Its unguarded moments where they say what really happened. What theyre really thinking thats why you want these kept. Absolutely. This would be laughable if it wasnt so serious. And sometimes it is laughable anyway. Listen to a former irs attorney when asked if she even recalled who worked on the computers that held those allimportant records. I think his first name may have been ben. A dude named ben . Undeniably many Government Agencies<\/a> try to manage the avalanche of information that often it sounds like the end of raiders of the lost ark. Even if they keep all those emails, where are the important ones . Maybe benos. Investigators say they want to see some messages and any agency out there says look at those massive numbers. We cant find it. Its not our fault. How do we know if that is true especially since from the moment i started talking here its possible that well more than a half million more emails are generated by the government. Jim . A think a half million came to my inbox, as well. I want to bring in our panel, democratic extravagant gist Stephanie Cutter<\/a> and cnn and republican strategist kevin madden. Kevin, is this just government ineptitude or is there something nefarious going on here . Ill give you the first chance, kevin. I think thats what were trying to get to the bottom of it. Could be a little bit of both. I think the real frustration not only by members of congress, by the viewing public is that there arent basic answers to standard questions. And there isnt a basic level of cooperation with what should be standard oversight by congress. I think thats where youre seeing a lot of frustration. The average american, look at this through the eyes of the average american. They know if they had to get audited, theyd have to turn over a whole host of information about their taxes. And yet, the government cant come up with a standard level of cooperation on the emails they should have stored on government computers. Thats real frustration and whats driving this. That sounds reasonable. Do you think theres party involved here . I dont think theres anything nefarious going on. I think the viewing public also understands that 750,000 pages of documents have already been turned including tens of thousands of emails. Dozens of congressional hearings. Dozens of written requests from congress. Its not that theres a lack of cooperation. Unfortunately, these emails are lost. Many of them have been recreated. The bottom line here is that the tea party, theres no evidence that the tea party was nefariously targeted. That was at the root of this investigation. The treasury issued a report in 2013 that established that. And progressives were on the list of search terms also. And you know, at the end of the day, the irs has to make sure nobody is skirting the law and doing political activity and getting tax breaks while doing it. Thats at the end of the day what this was about. Theres no evidence that theres anything nefarious here, not one piece of it. Kevin, i want to give you a chance. Theres another case with lois lerner reportedly considering an investigation of a republican senator Chuck Grassley<\/a> over his wifes speaking event. That seems to enter the political realm. And we need more answers to those. That provides enough evidence and it does spur more outrage by the folks up on capitol hill and the folks watching this at home. So i think that you know, with that, the one thing i think thats important about these emails if there was nothing nefarious going on and no action wrong actions were taken, these ought to be an evident tritt trail that actually helped acquit these folks of their stories. Help them at least get out from underneath this. In the interests of everybody. Thats an oversight issue. The 750,000 documents that have been turned over already do acquit them. I think that we cant miss that fact. Theres another big political story today that relates to the administration about the Supreme Court<\/a>s decision on recess appointments. You know, undermining it a power that not only president obama has used but previous president s of both parties. How much of a blow is this to president obama . Especially Going Forward<\/a> in light of dysfunction in congress and for future president s . I think that as you said, recess appointments are done all the time by the sitting president. It is a president ial power. The issue in this case was whether congress was in is recess long enough. And the Supreme Court<\/a> said no, there wasnt enough days. There needs be a longer period of time of recess before the president can do this. So that will be instructive for future president s. What there should be more discussion about is the reason the president recess appoint these people is because congress wouldnt approve these appointees for ideological reasons. For instance, the head of the Consumer Financial<\/a> product board was recess appointed despite the law being passed to create this position years earlier, he was recess appointed because congress would not move his nomination. As a result of the appointment, many things have been done to protect consumers in the financial its the prerogative of the legislature to decide whether or not those appointments go through. I think this blow to president obama has to do with this nlrb decision through the lens of that, are but there is more about the legislature and the executive. And this is about future congresses and future president s regardless of party. Because this could come back to bite a future republican. Absolutely. Thats something weve seen a lot of lately is this constant push and pull between the executive. I tend to be in favor of a stronger executive but not an imperial executive. Well continue it have these conversations regardless of who is the president and regardless of which party is in power. Weve talks a lot about 2016 and a lot about the hillary clinton, and other expected candidates, jeb bush. Theres a candidate i dont think either of you thought of. We wanted to throw up at the screen a potential Campaign Poster<\/a> for 2016 right now. Get your reaction as to his chances. I like it. Tim howard the usa goalie for president. He had a stellar game today. Chances against hillary . I may consider being his campaign manager. Im with him, as well. Hes great sue see his face on hope poster. All right.

Time for the cnn money lead. It is it the go anywhere, do mostly anything youre crazy enough to record camera. The gopro plays perfectly to the selfie generation, an Action Sports<\/a> junkies looking to capture that big moment and all those instagram favorites. The cameramaker made a huge splash of its own today debuting on the nas cac at 24 a share, the largest ipo for a Consumer Electronics<\/a> company in more than 20 years. Despite its popularity among sky divers, basically anything involving riding something, the Company Offers<\/a> just one design. So should investors be willing to take the plunge . I want to bring in money correspondent cristinaa an less shi. I look at this. Why is it thriving so much . Its one kind of camera, doesnt have any other models. When is that going to be replaced by my iphone like digital cameras and video cameras before it . It doesnt look like anytime soon. This company booked a billion dollars in sales last year. It is important to point out that the growth did slow but to your point, at the end of the day, this is a Camera Company<\/a> with an increasing number of competitors every day and very unproven media strategy they hope to capitalize on. I spoke to the Ceo Nick Woodman<\/a> about his original vision for the company and the challenges go Going Forward<\/a>. Heres what he had to say. Portable video camera that makes amateur videographers feel like Action Sports<\/a> stars. Now go bro is making its shares available to the public. Its raising hundreds of millions of dollars, valuing the company at 3 billion. So what makes gopro products more popular than other cameras on the market. A gopro enables people to film themselves, right . And turn the camera around on themselves and capture life from any perspective imaginable. The camera comes out of the box preloaded with film. Founder and Ceo Nick Woodman<\/a> dreamed it up while suving with friends about ten years ago. Now woodman is riding a wave of a generation obsessed with filming itself. But thats not enough. He wants to transform his Camera Company<\/a> into a media company. We somewhat organically get the Media Business<\/a> as a natural outcome. Have you all this content being created on our flatt platform. We can aggregate it and redistribute it as gopro channel programming consumers love the cameras but sales were down the first part of the year. Investors want see the company grow. The its media aspirations may be an even tougher way boost profits. If i have a grow pro camera, i can upload anywhere i want, victim know is, youtube. How is it going to convince me i should go to gopro . Go pro needs to find a way to capitalize off its facebook likes and over 500 million youtube views. If it could do that, it wont be just a hot cameramaker but a hot stock, too. You know what, jim, the stock popped about 30 today which is exactly where you want to see these internet stocks pop to. So look, its only day one. Weve seen a lot of Tech Companies<\/a> get really hot and come down. Well have to see how this one plays out. Not a bad start, thanks very much.

A night out took a dark turn for dozens of concert goers in boston last night when the venue suddenly became what authorities called a mass casualty incident. Our Jason Carroll<\/a> reports. It was supposed to be a night of listening to electroeg superstar d. J. Avicii spinning his latest at td garden. Instead, this was the sound of the evening as dozens were rushed to hospitals. There was one kid, he took four cops to get him down. He was on something. I have no idea. Boston emergency Officials Say<\/a> 36 concert goers why taken to hospital and treated for alcohol, heat and drug related problems. Dozens more treated at the scene. It really goes on everywhere thats an unfortunate coincidence it was so many people this one time, but it certainly isnt anything the artist did or could have done. Avicii is known for not drinking and not doing drugs. So what is it about big venues and big acts that make crowds go a little bit more than wild . For many people, most people, if you will, having a good time comes with doing some kind of substance. It could even be cigarettes. But most commonly its alcohol and there are other drugs. Just this year at las vegass electric daisy festival where did he also perform, at least one person died and nearly 800 partygoers were treated for medical conditions during that electronic music event. Last year at the electric zoo festival in new york city, two died and four others hospitalized 56 overdosing on the drug called molly, otherwise known as ndma or ecstacy. The third and final day of the festival cancelled. Still, thousands made their own event. New yorks Columbus Circle<\/a> and times square. Just because of irresponsible people overdose on drugs doesnt mean you shut it down for 30,000 people. Its not just trouble at electronic music events. Even the summertime draw of Kenny Chesney<\/a> cant keep some fans from dueling in the parking lot. Nearly 75 people arrested as the chessneys concert at heinz field in pittsburgh last year. Offenses included aggravated assault and public intoxication. A lot of police didnt want to work this event. Music insiders say its not the music causing problems. Its usually what people bring when listening to it. It doesnt mean thats how you have to enjoy the concerts or enjoy the show but there are always young people who are going to experiment, who are going to mix things. Thats gone on for decades and decades. Well, td garden was cited for serving alcohol to minors. They released a statement saying they take the matter very seriously and their thoughts on the guests were hospitalized, theyve implemented added security and measures to restrict alcohol sales. Jason, thank you. Now here is wolf blitzer in the situation room. Jim, thanks very much. Happening now what i didnt hear in that was an apology. I dont think an apology is owed.
