tv   Anderson Cooper 360  CNN  February 16, 2012 5:00pm-6:00pm PST

5:00 pm
it's one of the reasons i have drawn the board of start up america. how do i help participate in these things? >> to donate to help? >> yeah. donate to a taxi driver. i think that -- what i want to do is apply all the knowledge and techniques of entrepreneurship we have in the valley to the world. i have begun doing that with small steps. >> anderson cooper 360 starts right now. thanks. good evening. we begin with the death of wh whitney houston. a source giving cnn the latest on toxicology testing. investigators put a rush on it telling us all the pills and medicine bottles found are going through basic testing now. no determination has been made
5:01 pm
about the contents. nothing appears criminal. we may get results sooner than the six to eight weeks some said days ago. that same source is down playing as speculation said drugs and alcohol led to her death. we don't know until toxicology results come in. it may happen sooner rather than later. we are learning who will be speaking and p singing at the funeral. her ex-husband bobby brown will be attending. he plans to perform a few hours later at a casino in connecticut. dr. drew joins us with more on the drug angle. first, jason is outside the new hope baptist church with more late details. there's new information about who is going to be at the funeral saturday. what do you know? >> reporter: i can tell you
5:02 pm
earlier, i spoke to a woman named kim ber el. it may not be familiar to some people. those in the gospel community, she was well known. she was friends with whitney houston for years. they were extremely close. she will perform. the song is called "i believe in you and me." it was a song whitney loved and was chosen by her family. i asked kim what will be in her mind when she sings that song on saturday? >> i feel strong because i have to represent what i know she would want me to say and feel and make the people there feel. whitney was a caring and loving person. in that regard, i'll make sure that my delivery will be some form of strength, especially with her daughter there and her mother there. we all share a special relationship. i want to be strong enough to build them up as well.
5:03 pm
>> reporter: some of the other names that we'll be hearing about on saturday, alicia keys will be performing as well as people like aretha franklin. stevie wonder, kevin costner, her co-star from "the body guard" will speak on saturday. in addition to that, roberta flack. a long list of entertainers coming out to pay their respect. >> bobby brown will be there. there were reports he was asked not to attend. clearly, that's not the case. >> reporter: true. what we are hearing from bobby brown's people is there were reports because of the relationship he shared with whitney houston. he will be here and attending. he's a member of the group new edition. they are out on tour. what we are hearing is that
5:04 pm
after he attends the funeral service on saturday, he'll go back out on stage saturday night. the reason for that is because, according to a spokesperson, being on stage is how he deals -- it's his version of therapy and how he's dealing with this significant loss in his life. >> what does it seem like outside of the church? are people there? when her body was brought back, crowds gathered. are people already there or not yet? >> reporter: anderson, they have been coming and going all day long and into the night. it's been very sad. as you stand in front of the church, you can hear echoes of the church choir practicing. people rolling down their windows playing whitney houston songs. people are bringing by cards and letters. this is the time to do it. because of security, when the funeral happens on saturday, the closest anyone from the public
5:05 pm
will be able to come is two blocks away. people are using this time to come down and pay their respects. >> i appreciate the updates. the remarkable talent we'll be seeing saturday, two spoke out about what whitney was under. >> i recall her 2010 european tour, still exciting but unable to sing what she wanted to. had to be disheartening. she stood with the heart of a champion. kim berrell remember that is tour and the call for help. >> one of the main reasons i went to germany is because of all the energy that people in their opinions of her voice and her life and her stardom and was starting to get to her. everybody has an opinion. with a life that big, you are going to get a lot of opinions. some of them were way too forward. she put a call into me and said
5:06 pm
sis, i think i need you out here for a few days to come and pray with me. i said sure. whitney houston's vocal coach is with us. he was planning on working with her this year. you met with her in 2004 after being introduced by stevie wonder. what kind of shape was her voice in then? >> when i went to see her in atlanta, her voice was in horrible condition. she washorse. i had an image of her, a young, beautiful lady with an incredible voice. here she is in front of me with no voice what so ever. >> how does that happen? her battles with drugs were public. was it because of that? >> when you are a singer, your body is an instrument and you have to take care of it.
5:07 pm
whatever lifestyle choices he made had a negative affect on her voice. >> i just interviewed adele who had a pollup in her throat. >> it was generally abuse. her voice began recovering quickly. that told me a great deal. a lot of her injury was superficial or her voice would not have returned as it did. every lesson we had, her voice got better and better each time. >> for her, to not be able to use that instrument in the way she once could, what was it like for her? >> a singer is a special kind of musician. you are your voice. it's a part of your personality, your emotions and spirituality. she was one of the most
5:08 pm
brilliant singers of all time. she knew that. not having that voice at her disposal, i think it reeked havoc on her. >> she valued that voice above anything else, above fame and money? >> that's correct. she was an artist. she was not an entertainer. she was an artist. her life based on her voice. she has a remarkable voice, she could do anything, sing with excitement, beautiful and seductive. she had the whole thing. a high level of emotional contact. she was her voice, without that, she didn't have much of a life. >> what we heard, the final performance she gave thursday night, singing a few lines from a gospel song, when you heard that, could her voice have come back? >> i'm very confident after working with her a couple years, four or five years, her voice
5:09 pm
would have come back. i got it 75% by the time she did her record. that's not working with her on a daily basis. if i had been with her three or four months in a row, i think i could have gotten 95% of her voice back. >> what was your impression with the folks she surrounded herself with? what was your vantage point? >> she was a very powerful person, very charismatic, confident. she was an alpha female. she was more powerful than the people around her. difficult to control her. she's smart, beautiful and brilliantly gifted. how do you control someone like that? everyone had good intentions. they could only go so far. she had a domineering personality. with me, it was different because i was her teacher. she put her egoaside.
5:10 pm
>> with other folks, they didn't have the power to stop her? >> that's correct. it was impossible to stop her. she was a very, very aggressive, powerful person. a lovely person, caring. at the same time, very demanding. if you don't do what she wanted, she got upset. >> it's such a loss. you know that from working with her voice. i appreciate you being on tonight, thank you. >> my pleasure. >> les us know what you think, we are on facebook, google plus. follow me on twitter. i'm tweeting as our special coverage continues. up next, we talk to dr. drew about what happens when the voice begins to fade. more on the dangers of mixing drugs and alcohol especially the antianxiety drug that was found in her room. we'll find out more about it.
5:11 pm
later, a remarkable trip to her childhood. a neighborhood that watched her shine and has tears in their eyes tonight. you know when i grow up,

[ man] new centrum specialist helps make nutrition possible. as much as everybody wants to remember whitney houston for her voice, the life she led
5:14 pm
makes it impossible. they are testing her blood and pill bottles. they put a rush on it. with that as the backdrop, we are joined by dr. drew host of "dr. drew" on hln. we heard how important music was to her and how her lifestyle choices led to the condition of her voice. she was a smoker. she battled drugs for many years. why would a talent, you know, who depends on her voice allow that one instrument to be damaged in that way? >> there's a couple things i want to say about that interview. one, the fact that you would call what she was doing a lifestyle choice is a grave misunderstanding about what was going on with whitney houston. she had addiction. it's not a choice. if they had choice, believe me, they would choose not to use
5:15 pm
drugs. they lose choice. the other thing, he was describing how powerful she was, that is whitney the using addict. powerful, demanding. it's how addicts are. it's how they get their way. people around addicts have difficulty containing them. if you look at the 2009 interview that oprah did, you can see the sober whitney who was quiet and lovely. the gorgeous woman we expect. when using, you see the terrible behavior. when you have somebody like that, everybody must be unified in getting them to treatment. any crack in the wall, they will get through and continue to use. >> i think there are a lot of people out there who hear you say that an addict doesn't have a choice and say look, there is personal responsibility. some people are able to stop. the fact some are able to stop show that it is a matter of will power or control.
5:16 pm
>> they are able to stop. they are able to follow directions in treatment. what they are taught is will power will not help you. your will is broken in this disease. the drives overwhelm will. they hurt their family, their job, their voice in this case. of course they would choose not to do this if they had a choice. this is a brain disorder where choice is no longer operating. it's the nature of the condition. in milder cases, earlier in the disease, choice enters into it. people start and stop. once they are chronic, multiple treatments, it's a situation where they choose treatment. otherwise, they lose their choices. >> sources said xanax was found in her room. they don't know if she took the medication on the day she died. we talked about how dangerous it is to mix legal precipitation drugs, a sleeping pill like
5:17 pm
ambien with alcohol. xanax is so wide lly prescribed and used, what are the risks? >> they are excellent medications. you spoke four times about ambien. when you travel to other countries, i'm going to be worried. avoid the alcohol. that is the issue. doctors warn their patients about not operating vehicles and not to use alcohol. they don't emphasize how dangerous it is if you have a dangerous drive. they are drinking more than they should. when i first heard this happened to her, the usual combination in my world that leads to demise is alcohol. i wouldn't be surprised if we find that. >> when you say opiate what does
5:18 pm
that mean? >> you mentioned the xanax and i have heard reports of lorazpan. >> what do they -- those are all -- >> antianxiety, sleeping, very addictive, not to be exposed to addicts. that condition sanjay and i talked about. never would you give all three to anybody. >> if you are an addict, you should not be on xanax because of addiction? >> only extreme conditions. to have all three, there's no excuse. one doctor to prescribe all three, i don't know what to say. the opiate is the pain medication which is something she said she had a problem with. she talked about that. that is something that when you are in relapse, you are heading toward your drug of choice. opiates are the king of all.
5:19 pm
>> dr. drew, appreciate it. whitney houston was nicknamed the voice. she talked about what she could make people feel. take a look. >> i would close my eyes like this. i was so afraid when i would sing. when i would open my eyes, the people would be holy ghost fired out. they would be in such spirit of praise. i think i knew it was an infectious thing that god had given me. >> it was a young age that gift was apparent. here is a young houston singing in church in the 1980s. ♪ >> same church whitney houston is going to come home to on

5:22 pm
whitney hit tennis balls on the wall. why didn't you hit balls with her? >> we were talking ability it the other day. we were asking remember when she would play tennis and we would ask what it's like to meet michael jackson because of her aunt dionne. >> reporter: because of celebrity connections. >> her aunt was dionne. her god mother was aretha and she would meet the stars. >> reporter: many realized her voice was special from her early days singing in church. some remember her belting out tunes earlier. >> the first time i met whitney, she was, we called her nippy back then. she was about 5 years old. >> reporter: a retired principal from an east orange elementary school but a friend who attended a christmas party. >> one of the back rooms, nippy
5:23 pm
had her cousins surrounded by her and she jumped up on the coffee table and started singing. >> reporter: back at the whitney academy, room 109, whitney was your hero? >> yes! >> reporter: the pride for current students is unmistakable. >> with all her accomplishments i want to be like her when i grow up. >> i'm the father of all the youngsters here. i take that role. >> you consider her a daughter? >> you better believe it. a daughter forever. i lost a daughter. >> reporter: gary tuckman, cnn. >> cnn is going to have complete coverage of the funeral. wh whitney houston, her life, her music, starting at 11:00 a.m. eastern time. mitt romney once said let detroit go bankrupt. keeping them honest. the u.n. lashes out saying

5:28 pm
profit. michigan's primary is coming up. romney is behind in the polls. the auto bailout is popular in the state and the state's economy has been growing since it happened. it puts romney in a bad position because he wrote his position saying let them go bankrupt. here is how it began. if general motors, ford and chrysler get the bailout, you can kiss the auto motive industry good-bye. their demise will be virtually guaranteed. that was in 2008. detroit he said, needs a turn around, not a check. to his credit, he's been very consistent about that over the years. watch. >> throwing money at the auto industry is not going to help it long term. if you write a check that you are going to see them go out of business, what you can't do is send a big check. billions and billions of dollars
5:29 pm
was written to bail out the industry. the government was willing to write checks. the government wrote the checks, wasted money. i said don't write checks. don't just write them checks. don't write a check. >> keeping him honest, when he was running in the 2008 michigan primary, he was singing a different tune about help from washington. >> we better fix michigan and get michigan on track. anybody who comes in here, republican or democrat and says they want to help michigan say where have you been. >> the same day speaking outside of a gm plant, he said where is washington? are we going to let the entire automobile industry disappear and just say well, that was tough, it's just the way it is. an unnamed spokesperson said he wasn't talking about bailing out detroit. he's arguing for more washington
5:30 pm
involvement before arguing against the government involvement. this story may be having an effect on voters. rick santorum is leading romney 34% to 30% among likely republican primary voters. gingrich 12%. ron paul 9%. 12% undecided. this is in a state that romney won in 2008. kevin madden, a republican strategist and former spokesman for romney's campaign. paul is a strategist and cnn political contributor. is governor romney shifting on this? >> joe lewis said he can run but we can't hide. the record is there except the few exceptions when he was pandering to detroiters a few years ago and now. he had a position. he opposed what the president
5:31 pm
did. he opposed it. he predicts if we did what the president called for, it would destroy them. it didn't. it saved them. this is from a guy, here is the real vulnerability, when he ran bane and company, he took a bail out. they bought a company, they got $37 million. he's been the recipient of government subsidies but opposed them at the most critical time in detroit. i think it's going to hurt him. >> kevin, what about that? he did write if they got bailed out, the country could kiss it good-bye. >> if you take the opinion pieces he's written over the years and take a speech he gave to the detroit economic club during the campaign, it's been very consistent. it's consistent with what both parties said about the american
5:32 pm
auto stindustry. action has to be taken to help it continue to thrive in this country. i think the -- where the party's disagree and some of the candidates disagree aren't some of the specific prescriptions. restructuring had to take place. meet global demands. >> if there's record profits just announced today, terrible timing for governor romney, i mean, if he opposed the bailouts -- >> i would disagree that's terrible timing. i think anybody agrees an important part of our economy is a good sign. there may be differences on the policy specifics as it relates to this public policy issue. everybody agrees it's important to have a thriving american auto industry. >> paul? >> we have that auto industry
5:33 pm
today because president obama stood up and took the risk. governor romney -- this is important. governor romney is running. he's not running on foreign policy expertise. he's running on expertise as a businessman. he stood up as a businessman and said this is a bad deal. i have it right here. let detroit go bankrupt. the president did not listen to him. it's the biggest business decision a president made since truman in 1952. president obama was right. detroit's engines are now revving. mitt romney was wrong. when you are a business guy running and you are wrong about a business decision, you lose a lot of rational for your candidacy. >> kevin? >> he's running as a businessman. that has to do with what he believes is right for the country and what is right for the private sector. i think when he talks about this issue, he remembers he's a native son of michigan.
5:34 pm
he understands the importance of the industry. >> was he wrong in the ad? >> you look at the prescriptions he believes are important to help the industry. people throughout the political aisle -- >> does he believe you can kiss this industry good-bye? >> i think that was put in the context of the different prescriptions people had at the time when the industry was going through the course of considerations in the face of a political crisis. >> i thank you for being on. >> thank you. does this look like an armed conflict? arwa damon, we are going to hear from her in a moment. there's nothing of the sort happ happening in this country. keeping them onnest. the man who tried to hide a bomb in his underwear. how much time he's going to

5:42 pm
crackdown. it doesn't mean it's less terrifying. then the constant threat of the sniper positions on various rooftops. the activists have them mentally mapped out to get around. >> how does this compare, you have worked in iraq and all over combat zones around the world. how does this compare? >> reporter: the sheer scale of what they are going through, the scope of it, the magnitude. this was the government doing it to their own people. iraq was a military occupation. activists are saying this is their own government doing it to their own people. >> arwa, continue to be careful. thank you. arwa damon in homs tonight. people are dying in syria. it hasn't stopped some from braving their lives. danny has been there reporting. we are not using his full name
