11:00 am
hour ago. the washington monument is back op. thanks very much for watching. i will be back r5:00 p.m. eastern. newsroom with brooke baldwin starts right now. >> thank you so much. we begin with this. >> the 80-year-old billionaire said he was wrong to say what he did. he implies that he has been taken advantage of, complicating matters here, you have shelly
11:01 am
who says she is going to file for divorce. so let me play this for you. this is donald sterling's first chance of must see tv tonight. the full interview. here is just a piece. >> i'm not a racist. i made a terrible mistake. and i'm here with you today i'm here i have heard so many innocent people and i have hurt myself. i spoke to a girl that i was fond of. when i listened to that tape, i don't know how i could say words like that and i'm so sorry. i'm so apologetic.
11:02 am
>> what are you sorry about? >> i'm sory that so many people are hurt. it's a terrible nightmare. my players, they didn't need this. they didn't need this cloudover their head. they're good people. and i love them. i respect them and i would always be there for them. i'm not a racist and i have never been a racist. >> i really didn't pay attention. they are clippers in their mind. i would do anything for them. i made a mistake. i don't talk about people ever.
11:03 am
i talk about ideas and other things but not people. >> do you know how the tape got released? >> no. >> do you think she did it? >> i don't know. an 80-year-old man is kind of foolish and i'm kind of foolish. i thought she liked me and cared for me. i guess being 50 years older than her, i was deluding myself. >> do you trust her now? >> no, i don't trust her. i think people said she was taping me for two years. maybe i was just fooling myself thinking she cared for me. she certainly acted like it.
11:04 am
so, to both of you, welcome. you heard that with mr. materialing. do you buy the i'm sorry? >> i think it's great that he's apologizing. he seemed sincere and he is asking for forgiveness but not to the point that he will be allowed to remain the owner of the clippers. the best part of that for me, and you didn't play it. >> we have a lot more to play. we have a lot more to play. i was glad to hear that his wife wants to go ahead and sue and try to keep ownership they say
11:05 am
that they can take away the team. i'm hoping there will not be a long drawn out court battle because then nobody wins. he is saying basically, i'm an 80-year-old guy. let me ask you this, because just -- i wrote down some of the words he used. he referred to my players. they're mine. i'm not in the nba. is that the way owners talk about players? i'm just curious. there are other things that were not said. so i don't know why he opened
11:06 am
his mouth and stuck his foot in. it i'm hoping they don't get to the point where they have long court battles. we need to move on. we need to get rid of him. but the attorney for mrs. sterling says there is a country of laws. they feel they are going to supercede those of the nba. i'm wondering from you, was there anything he could have said to totally change people's minds? the public perception of this man? >> that's what we're really fighting is the court of public perception. yes he did offend a community but he further offended a community by insulting that
11:07 am
someone in the african community adores and respects. apart from the fact that he took a picture with the young lady that don sterling has a relationship with. it should have focused on him being humble i think he is more apologetic for having gotten caught. i think that the lateness, almost two weeks later that he came forward to apologize speaks deeply. >> anderson followed up and said why is it taking you so long to apologize. you have been around the nba for decades. your sons played balls. i'm curious based upon your
11:08 am
interactions, do you earnestly believe him? not really because of the other things he has done in his life. but when he opened up the door and finally did something that had a negative impact on the nba, there is no place for a man with these types of feelings and the one is such a lewd chris thing. him saying he was baited into saying this. come on. you don't say things that you don't want to say. >> you played basketball in what? the mid to late 60s? >> i played in three decades. >> but especially during that time when you think of race relations and incredibly turbulent. you have seen the evolution of race intertwine. where does it stand today? >> it's so much more improved.
11:09 am
i respected them because they put that aside. they let their personal feelings not impact their professional per formabs. lebron james has said that the players do not want any member of the sterling family to have ownership in that team. that should be enough for her to realize that it's foolish of her to try to have a lawsuit. >> we will hear from lebron james himself a little later on in the hour to your precise point. just a reminder, there is a heck of a lot left in this interview. we want you to watch this whole thing tonight. we will play much more for you including the bit that is getting a lot of press. stick around for that.

while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk
11:12 am
for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. 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 long-term injury, get medical help right away
11:13 am
for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or any allergic reactions like rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a free 30-tablet trial.
11:14 am
>> we want you to look at this video. this shows nearly 300 girls taken from the school by these islamist rebels. the girls are wearing the islamic style robes. the leader of the militant also appears here and he repeats his demand to nigeria to release some of his followers currently held in prisons. we are working to establish whether the girls we are seeing in that picture truly are the ones here abducted back on april 14. armed men snatched them up in
11:15 am
the middle of the night. take a look t and a listen. >> what were they wearing? >> did they look like soldiers? do you feel afraid? you don't want to talk about what they look like? i understand, i understand. i'm sorry. >> he is a former cia operative. i would like to hol the video. with your trained eye, if you have been in a region, does it look to you here like northeastern nigeria, is this what would really could be? >> yeah. just like we saw recently.
11:16 am
11:17 am
return that they would get from this frajic event. again, the idea that a lot of these girls have not been moved across border or handed over to top fighters as a reward for fighting, this is a very complicated situation. we need to take everything that this leader says with a grain of salt. >> this group obviously is not in a bubble. this has become an international push. do you think it's possible that that could in turn hurt the girls' potential to be released? the leverage that this psychotic leader may knot now have because the whole world is watching. >> yes. and whether in talking about
11:18 am
potentially some of the girls, i suspect a lot of them are out of their immediate control at this point. this northeastern nigeria area, there is a lot of movement. from a u.s. perspective, what could we do? we're already trying. we can work in concert with those who have boots on the ground. >> mike, as always, thank you so much. girls around the globe are facing challenges just to get an education. if you would like more
11:19 am
information, just go to cnn.com/impact. >> and it's called garage hopping, stealing beer and whatever they can find in someone's garage. for one, this so called game took a dead ly. but now you have heard about this new report saying that australia is not so sure they were pings at all. those details next on cnn.
11:20 am
11:21 am
on everything from home repair to healthcare. now that we're expecting, i like the fact i can go onto angie's list and look for pediatricians. the service providers that i've found on angie's list actually have blown me away. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust.
11:23 am
>> it was reckless and foolish but the prank of one teenager should not have cost him his life. and now there is another controversy involving a shooter claiming self defense. germany is closing watching this case which centers on the death of this german exchange student. the surveillance footage shows the 17-year-old breaking into a garage he was reportedly garage hopping, it's a dare to steal. the garage owner heard noises and then shot four times into the dark garage, killing this teenager. >> it just should have never happened.
11:24 am
>> there is so much more to the story. on the case with me today. and sunny, a couple of things first. investigators say it is possible that the man may have been high when he pulled the trigger. how does that affect his claims? >> the bottom line is in montana and many states, all of them really we have this doctrine that when you are in your home that should be your safe haven. no one should be able to come in
11:25 am
and attack you, your family and your property. this is a bit different. minnesota's is a bit more extensive. it places the burden on the prosecution to prove that it was not self-defense. you can't lay in wait for someone. you can't lay a trap and then claim self-defense. there is an affidavit that indicates that he told someone that he was waiting to shoot a effing kid in his garage. that there have been three weeks of break ins and that his wife had placed her purse in the garage and placed a baby monitor in the garage. >> so he was, sounds like maybe looking for someone, but then again you have this teenager who
11:26 am
was garage hopping, shouldn't have been where he was, looking to steal something. simply, what kind of rights would a homeowner have in that situation? homeowners do have a right to be safe when they're in their home. so i think a jury may feel that this kid was in the garage, on their property, don't they have a right to be fearful? again, there's that twist there. you really can't lay in wait. you can't trap somebody and then shoot them. i think it will be a close call when you look at the facts of the case for a jury to find him guilty. montana has one of the area's highest gun ownership. >> garage hopping. you ever heard of that? >> my kids are not going garage
11:27 am
hopping any time soon. >> thank you so much. coming up here, donald sterling talking exclusively to cnn. we are also now hearing. another layer to the story. she says the divorce petition is signed. she blames his bizarre behavior on dementia. plus this. >> aboulder stops just inches from a church. we will hear from the pastor. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.

11:31 am
say hello to the season's hottest convertible... ohhh....and say goodbye to samantha. [ male announcer ] geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more. >> we have been talking a lot about the cnn exclusive with donald steriling and he speaks for the very first time about the now infamous racist rants attributed to him. the statements cost him his seat in the nba and possibly his team. and during these reported rants, sterling took aim at nba hall of famer, magic johnson. he then reportedly admitted to making those comments out of jealousy. so when we thought sterling was finished talking about magic johnson, he wasn't. watch. >> the only one that i know that i talk to is magic johnson.
11:32 am
>> did you apologize to him? >> if i said anything wrong, i'm sorry. he's a good person. has he done everything he can do to help minority? i don't think so. but i will say it. he's great. i just don't think he is a good example for the children of los angeles. >> okay. let's talk to someone who knows magic johnson. rachel ni rach rachel nichols. >> it continues. i know. so why does donald sterling as he is clearly trying to apologize continue to dig at this man you say i'm sorry.
11:33 am
you say he's a dpood person. you don't take three or four different shots at him. i think those comments will resonate around the community. i have already heard from several players this morning as the sound has been playing saying that he said what? >> that sounds like just the beginning of additional comments that he made to anderson. this is the follow up. magic said he would never go to another clippers game as long as donald sterling is the team's owner. he's still the owner and magic was at the game. >> magic, of course, will say that there has been enough of a change and that the nba is working to get donald out and that he wanted to support the players and i'm sure absolutely
11:34 am
all of that is true. he has had great camaraderie with the players and the coach. but there is this lingering issue of does magic johnson want to throw his hat in the ring then he eased off of that. and even if he does want to buy the team, oprah winfrey wants to buy the team along with many others. a lot of people with deep pockets and i'm sure magic johnson is surveying it. >> well, while all those people could be vying to buy the team, there is the esstranged wife here. this is the other variable. she talked to ab and she here she was.
11:35 am
>> is donald sterling a racist? >> i have never heard him say racial things. it was horrible when i heard it. i don't think he is a racist. i don't love him, i pity him. >> you own 50% of the la clippers. the nba demands that the team be sold. what would you do then? >> i'm fighting for my 50%. >> there are reports that the nba wants to oust you completely as a team owner. you will fight that decision? >> i will fight that decision. >> what does the team mean to you? >> it means.
11:36 am
>> do you support the nba's decision to ban your husband? >> i can't comment on that. i was shocked by what he said and i guess whatever their decision is, we have to live with it. >> he said this is unacceptable. anything political. didn't want to offend anyone. lebron james has taken a different way. he has been a leader to the other players speaking on this issue.
11:37 am
it's been two weeks and the nba has not notified sterling of anything. take a listen. this guy was on the team so he's not going give a team up in a day. we understand it's going be long but we want what's right. we don't feel like no one should be on the team. >> there has been talk about the fact that if donl sterlding still owns this team months from now when the nba season starts up again, they may start talking about a boycott again. remember they had serious
11:38 am
conversations about that the night before silver made his ruling. i think everyone is willing to give the nba a little room here. a little time to led this play out. >> we watch and wait. thank you so much. just a reminder to all of you, we want you to watch this entire exclusive interview now to this. remember those kings that we talked about for weeks and weeks? after two months trying to track them, it turns out the australians reportedly believed they may not have been pings at all.
11:42 am
>> and certain key details. all along, analysts and others pointed out that it's possible that the pings search teams used to help figure out where to look may not be from the plane. now you pick up the wall street journal and they have a report saying that searchers are increasingly suspect of some of these pings. that they were not at all from the plane's black boxes.
11:43 am
all four instances of pings are valid. >> so you are 100% certain that the plane is here in the southern indian ocean? >> i'm still hopeful that we will find something in that area because it was a man made transmission. we're going back to that area. >> if we find something, i will be overjoyed. >> joining me now. >> brooke, it's incredible. if this is true, and that is a
11:44 am
significant thing. it kind of boggles the mind. the searchers have scoured the bottom of the ocean floor and they haven't found anything. that was a major reason to doubt that it came from the plane. but to report that the frequencies were more different than what was engineered from the 777 -- >> we knew they were off but they are apparently now further off than what was reported? >> right. and so why are we being told this now? if the wings were not the pings,
11:45 am
i'm just looking ahead, what do they do next? first of all the words that he used were not very inspiring. and then we will do the next phase. if you have looked in this area that these kinds of resources work very, very cloely. you could spend a generation scouring the bottom of the indian ocean. we have nothing exit's been over two months now. >> they need to release the
11:46 am
inmarsat data. you have been calling for that from the beginning. >> thank you so much, jeff. michael sam becoming the first openly gay player drafted to the nfl. certainly a joyous moment sealed with a kiss. here you go. wait until you hear how some current and former players reacted to this emotional moment. stay here.

[ applause ] >> so there you have it, the michael sam announcement and then viewers watch this, michael sam on the phone in tears getting the phone call from the rams and then the kiss. the kiss with the boyfriend, the embrace. a moment both celebrated and slammed on social media, twitter. you have this, omg, horrible. he did delete the tweets.
11:51 am
the team has since punished jones. let's talk about the reaction here. already you're not talking about my awards? i won an award in like the sixth grade for like swimming. >> thanks guys. this is going to be fun. >> there's a recount. >> i'm going to be hitting the sixth grade award winner with this. is it more about that we now have this, you know, openly gay football player or is it about this public display of affection? >> itd's all about the pda. it's not about him being openly gay. michael sam has been under a thick mike scocro scope. he has been snubbed by so many teams round after round after
11:52 am
round. 249 picks into it, the rams pick him up. he was the co-defensive player for the sec. if he wants to kiss his man in front of the whole world to see, i say break out the chap stick. douse him up. before i got here. his numbers at the combine were bad. that's what the nfl is doing. and also the miami dolphins just finished their diversity training. guys in locker rooms it's very macho. they are coming out of football
11:53 am

11:54 am
many people seemed to have evolved so much. can i kiss between two men get so much public attention? >> sure. if you and i kissed right now we would get public attention. you can't kiss a man on tv. >> very funny. >> if a guy came in and kissed me right now i would be trending. >> do i see chap stick? >> we should have done this show together and just made out. we didn't expect michael sam to kiss his boyfriend. my son and said i wonder what kind of cake they're eating.
11:55 am
i'm not sure that diversity is discussed. what is discussed is knock the guy over. hit a bucket. jeff fisher is very brave but if he was smart, he met with his team first. by the way, michael sam will knock the hell out of people and i hope they throw flags to every guy that calls him a tag or a queer.

players, but the nba. >> the owners? >> if the owners feel like i deserve another chance, they will give it to me. >> but there is a path to fight their decision? >> of course. but what's at the end of the road? what do i benefit, especially at my age. if they fight with me and i spend million or i spend millions or if i win or they win, i don't know that that's important. >> why did you wait so long to apologize? >> i'm so emotionally distraught. the reason it's hard for me, very hard for me is that i'm wrong. i caused the problem. >> do you trust people?
12:03 pm
there have been phone calls that have come out that seem to be your voice and they sold it. do you have anyone you trust around you? >> i don't give interviews. >> you have talked to magic johnson? >> twice. >> did you ap jids to him? >> he knew the girl. he knew the girl well. >> did you apologize to him? >> if i said anything wrong i'm sorry. he's a good person. what am i going to say? has he done everything he can do to help minorities? i don't think so. but i will say it, you know?
12:04 pm
i just don't think he is a good example for the children of los angeles. let's discuss. let's go there, men, welcome to both of you. >> thank you very having me. let me go straight to you. you played for sterling. do you find watching the different snippets, do you find his apology authentic? >> not at all. he says if i offended anybody. >> what else ability what you have heard doesn't ring sincere? what do you wish he had said? >> you know, initially, i wish he would have came out and admitted that he said it and apologized to all the players.
12:05 pm
you have a guy who has been owner over po 30 years. it was real hurtful to me as a former clipper and as a former member of the nba. i really wish he would have came out and apologized from the get go. now it seems he is trying to cover his tracks. >> here is the flip side. years back, documented discrimination from this man. yet people continue to sign on to the clippers, to play for the clippers, to coach for the clippers. why do you think that is? >> well, number one, it's a job. i know in my particular situation, i didn't hear about all of this stuff. i can't say that i saw racism when i was there. the clippers offered me a contract and i took it. it's employment for a lot of people. we had heard the rumors of him

being cheap but not a racist. >> so rumors aside. you have to think you have to think that donald sterling had a cue buy ya you have listened to the clips that i have seen, this man seems pretty unsfelterred to me. if a person is wrongly accused of a crime, you immediate ly. >> the damage has been done and in my opinion, the damage has been done. if they vote and force him to

(anncr vo) that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. how did i know? well, i didn't really. see, i figured low testosterone would decrease my sex drive... but when i started losing energy and became moody... that's when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. we discussed all the symptoms... then he gave me some blood tests. showed it was low t. that's it. it was a number -- not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1.62% testosterone gel. the #1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. men with breast cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate,

[ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going to have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagine how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. so maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪

>> we are just learning nigeria's government says it would consider negotiations from boko haram when it comes to securing release of the kidnapped girls. this emerged from nigeria today and here it is. you can see they are sitting here wearing black and gray and reciting the koran as they make declarations of faith.
12:13 pm
>> we are seeing another example of how frightening living in this shadow can be. one girl was brave enough to sit down with our cnn correspondent. she recalled the night she and 200 fellow schoolgirls. >> what was their dress? what were they wearing? did they look like soldiers? you don't want to talk about what they look like? that's okay. i understand.
12:14 pm
>> let me bring in cnn corresponde correspondents. i want to begin with you to this news here just in the last hour or so that we're hearing that nigeria are willing to negotiate with these terrorists for the girls' release. what does that tell you about the government's efforts to locate these girls? >> well the government has said many things and as we have scrutinized more closely, they haven't quite been all that they seem. so let's just take the statement that they have made today and that is that all options are on the table. when we look at what they oar doing on the ground we saw no
12:15 pm
sign of any huge activity or urgent response to the abduct n abductions. the government is saying all options are on the table. where that will lead and whether you can trust a terrorist group like boko haram, we will just have to see. >> let me follow up on that you. how can you trust an organization like this. if the nigerian government decides to negotiate, what would be the downfall? >> take a look at the video. this guy is clearly unhinged. he has decided he figured out what to do. i'm going to trade hem. he could release a part of the
12:16 pm
girls and not all of them. there is a lot of risks here. good luck jonathan is under political pressure to take some action. the parents know what the risks are. they may push very hard for this kind of a swap hoping to get their daughters back there have been some who said this is not a good thing for these girls. now that the spotlight is on this village these vifts now have the upper hand because they know the world is watching and they want the girls back. >> there's not a whole lot you can do.
12:17 pm
the downside of all of this, they get impunity and can kidnap more people to trade them any time that they are caught. there are a lot of risks involved. >> have you ever been to this part of nigeria? >> i have. it is very remote. you will drive for long distances without seeing anyone. there were plenty of military check points around. clearly it was not enough security. clearly there is serious questions to be asked about how the government may have had warnings hours before and there was no response. and this is the core issue. this is the reason that you see the protesters every day. they want their government to pay attention, to value each and every one of its own. >> jim, thank you. go ahead.
12:18 pm
jump in. >> i was just going to add to what jim said. we all heard secretary clinton say that the nigerian government has been somewhat dir reelect. >> thank you so much. and also to our interviewer. thank you to all of you. we are just now learning new details about this new case of a deadly mers virus in the state of florida. we will tell you where it originated and how concerned we should be. >> searchers have been tracking the possible black box pings. now it turns out according to
12:22 pm
12:23 pm
it is an acronym for middle east respiratory syndrome. it does have a high mortality rate. >> what do we know about the second case? >> this is a health care working was working in saudi arabia and came to visit family in orlando, florida, and took flights from jetta to london, london to boston, boston to atlanta and atlanta to orlando. that's quite a few flights and a lot of people on those flights. now yempb who was on those domestic flights, trying to tram them down to say you were on a plane with someone who has mers.
12:24 pm
they don't know how contagious this would be. >> what is the likelihood of something like this spreading? two cases so far. >> the bad news is that it has that high mortality rate. the good news is that it's hard to spread. so what we have seen in the middle east is family members get it, people you're living with get it. health care workers might get it from a pash. so that's the good news. i would say if i were this helt care worker's wife or husband or child i would be anxious. if i were just living in florida or indiana, i wouldn't worry. it's not as big of a deal if
12:25 pm
you're not directly in contract. >> that's an important thing to clear up. >> and the hospital to their credit figured out quite quickly that this was mers. it's the health care workers who are really vulnerable. >> coming up next, donald sterling speaking to us about his racist rand. what did he say? how are fans responding? plus for weeks after hearing pings, crews have been searching a specific area but here's the butt. there is a chilling revelation that could change everything. stay right here.
12:29 pm
>> bottom of the hour, you're watching brooke baldwin. donaldstering wants america to know that he's not a racist. so in this exclusive one-on-one, sterling tried to apologize for remarks that he made about magic johnson and african-americans. >> i'm not a racist. i made a terrible mistake and i'm here with you today to
12:30 pm
apologize and ask for forgrifness from all of the people that i have hurd. i have haurd myself. i spoke to a girl that i was fond of. i don't even know how i could say words like that. >> what are you sorry about? >> i'm sorry that so many people are hurt. my players, they didn't need this. they didn't need this cloud oef their head. >> make sure you tune in tonight for the entire interview. you see this guy? magic johnson. but here he was, just yesterday
12:31 pm
with the commissioner. johnson is rue norred to be one of the parties interested in buying the clippers. you're in la talking to folks. what is your reaction to this apolo apology? >> i have heard two things. one, why did it take a couple of weeks before sterling made any kind of apologies. i have heard people say that he is sincere and the other thing that they're wondering is how much of this is involved in his desire to hold on to the team. >> to the dick parsons, this is the first ever press conference since he has been named. >> we do know that the head
12:32 pm
coach for the clippers, doc rivers said that he has spoken to dick parsons. he said he was going to focus on the business and doc rivers said he would focus on the basketball. it will be interesting to hear how he tackles this problem that's what we're looking to hear about when mr. parsons speaks today. as i mentioned a moment ago we have just been playing snippets of this interview. you have to tune in for the entire exclusive one-on-one. >> just ahead, michael sam becoming the first openly gay player to be drafted in the nba followed by a kiss with his

12:37 pm
australian navy officer says that searchers are increasingly suspect that those pings were not from the black box at all. now news that the u.s. is being called in to listen to the pings. i don't know that that's a solid lead that tells us whether these are actually from the black boxes or not. >> we just learned this from a u.s. navy source that the navy has shared this pinger data as well as consulted for reanalysis. the question has been raised were the sounds really from the black boxes? we know that u.s. agencies and consultants listening to the sounds, they are reanalyzing the data. these are a fresh set of eyes and ears. we are learning that the wall street journal is reporting doubt is coming from the people searching for the missing plane.
12:38 pm
a naval official says that after further analysis that has led authorities to doubt where they actually from something that was man made? they're not quite sure that it was from the black boxes. based on refined acoustic analysis, there is increased doubt that the pings were from a man made device. that gels with what a navy source has been telling cnn for weeks. they always said that they have had greater confidence in pings one and two than pings three and four. >> so is it then just a few of the pings? or all of the possible pings? ping one and two were both texted on april 5. then you remember three days
12:39 pm
later, april 8 there were pings three and four. we we know anna just sat down with an gus houston. >> i saw her interview and she asked him what the next steps were going to be. he was not reacting directly to these reports. you do sense that he plans on seeing this through. take a listen to what he said about the search. >> do you think something could be found within the next month? >> we are pursuing the lead that we have at the moment. we need to pursue that lead to its conclusion.
12:40 pm
if we don't we will go on to the next phase of the search. >> they will keep on searching. and with the lack of any other evidence they have no other choice. we are awaiting an update to get a response regarding the doubts refeeled. we will get a response to that from this record but again, fresh doubt is never good because a lot of resources and manpower have been poured into searching for those black boxes. >> thank you. >> now we have it, the very first snippet to leaks from hillary clinton's upcoming memoir involves the former first
12:41 pm
lady's mother. her mother would tell her never kid and never stop working to make the world a better place. and she refeeled how her mother helped her through some of her toughest times. >> having her so close became a source of comfort for me. i would come home from a long day at the senate or state, slide in next to her and let everything just pour out. >> dor think died at the age of 92 and according to hillary clinton, was her greatest influence. jake, i think a lot of people don't know this but hillary clinton's mother did not grow up really comfortable did she? >> no. what kounds like a horrific life
12:42 pm
with her parents splitting and beneath wanting to care for her and her sisters. she was basically a live in made for another family. that woman insisted that she go to high school. and what this all reminds us is even though people have there is still a lot about her life that she doesn't feel like people know that will be pard of her narrative as she tries to shape it in this post secretary of state, perhaps prepresidential campaign era. this new sars incident in flr flr. we have more on nigeria.
12:43 pm
and then we will be talking to anderson cooper with donald sterling. >> we will all be watching 8:00 tonight. thank you so much for watching you of course. >> good to be back from vacation. i missed you so much. thanks. >> coming up here, michael sam becomes the first openly gay player drafted to the nfl. he was there with his boyfriend when he got the news. they kissed, they hugged. wait until you hear how some current and former players reacted to this. awesome, amazing, that's epic, bro. whatever happened to good? good is choosing not to overshoot the moon,

>> for three days, a question hung over the nfl draft. would a team make history by choosing michael sam by making him the first openly gay nfl player ever? >> with the 249th pick, the st. louis rams select michael sam, defensive end, missouri. >> moments later, viewers watched this as michael sam received a call he had waited possibly his whole life for. and then the kiss and the hug in front of cameras with his boyfriend and then exiter exploded. there was a lot of love and
12:48 pm
congratulations and some hate as well. don jones tweeting omg and horrible. drafting sham was an historic moment. let's talk about this with my friend and colleague. welcome to both of you. >> welcome back. >> vacation did me well. this was basically the end of the draft. i can imagine he was very relieved. do you think he and his boyfriend had thought about it? or was this entirely authentic. when i saw it -- let me give you the back story. i was taken aback it was on a big screen. i had never seen that before on television.
12:49 pm
someone very close to michael said he had all but given up. he was almost inconsolable. he said it was just a natural reaction from both of them because he thought that, his, you know, prospects of being drafted were of. >> he doesn't really have much family or those that he spokes too. is the boyfriend some of the only not family but people who he loves in his life currently? >> he does not have a close relationship with his family. his family does not approve of
12:50 pm
his sexual preference. so they build a core of people around them. michael sam has done that. so he doesn't have the family there at the draft or in the living room who sit around him, a dad, brother, sister, mom, big hugs, that's his family. he was simply reacting with his family and it's not surprising to me that a gay man would kiss another gay man. >> well, it may not be to you but when you hop on twitter or the google list the next morning, if you type in michael sam, it was the first thing that pops up. michael sam, the kiss. i wasn't surprised that the twitter reaction was mixed with positive and negative. but with the negative, here in 2014, were you surprised by that? >> well, listen. here's where we are. if you ask people, including nchl fl players and football fans, in the abstract i think
12:51 pm
people say, if he's good enough to play, he deserves a place on the team. but when people actually start seeing it, it's fine to have him here but when you actually watch him making out and hugging -- doing the stuff that everybody else does but when it's right there in the face, it's jarring to an awful lot of people. >> well , it may be jarring but espn stayed and went back and forth with the live feed. >> can you blame them? >> no. no. >> there was a cake at one point and they are putting cake in each other's mouth. i guess we're not surprised. >> this is the way -- we are all a little goofy at moments like this. you look at the academy awards and when people look at a game and pouring champagne over each other's head. the point was to be a little goofy and kissy, kissy.
12:52 pm
>> most television networks would say to stay with it. >> stay with it. stay with it. >> it was history from the making and i thought it was groundbreaking. these are young people. they are young people. perhaps someone a little more mature may not have reacted that way. i'm not saying that's anything bad about what he did. they are young people. they are celebrating. he thought he was a great football player and all of a sudden he thinks his career is over and at the last possible moment he gets his career back. i'm not sure how i would have reacted and i'm much older than him. cut him a little slack for being kids. >> don, final 30 seconds, you mentioned history being made but a seminal moment for young people not quite out, fearful of coming out, this is something that they are saying, this guy is drafted to play potentially for the st. louis rams and he's
12:53 pm
making out with his boyfriend. this is okay. >> i think anyone who lives their own truth sets a good example for the world. and especially if you're -- you know, if you're living your truth and you're not being discriminatory against anyone, i think it's good. we're in the post gay era with "will & grace" and i think young people probably have an easier time with it than older people. is it groundbreaking? yes. will it help young people who may be coming out or consider coming out? yes, i think it will. >> thank you both. we'll be watching you, don, talk about this and other things on primetime on cnn. and coming up after the break, something that was a total pinch me moment, a personal moment that i experienced yesterday. we're just going to share a snippet with you. next. i bet most seniors today have at least one thing in common.
12:54 pm

i wanted to share with you something before i go. i got to cross off a bucket list kind of event over the weekend. i was honored to be invited to my al a mater to speak to the class of 2014. and specifically, the graduates of the university of north carolina at chapel hill journalism school. go heels. i was sitting in those same seats 13 years ago in my own carolina blue robe. this for me yesterday was a total pinch me moment. and so i stood before these beautiful young people and i shared three stories with hopefully a little advice to take away in their journalism careers. this is just part of the speech. this is story number three. >> little did i know that i would be in boston for three weeks covering the investigation
12:58 pm
and the manhunt and helplessness and the healing and i made it my mission for the next year to tell the story of boston. and i met some amazing people along the way. i covered this boston strong concert. i have interviewed james taylor twice. he loves this place. he's a wonderful man. and this guy, he was one of the firefighters who responded. when everyone is running away from the explosions, this firefighter would be on the force for 41 years. he helped put the blanket over the youngest victim on boylston street and granted me his first and so far only interview. and i'm still humble to this day
12:59 pm
that he took the time to talk to me about what the experience was like. and it still -- whew. these stories affect you here and they affect you here. and i want you to know that whatever it is that you're covering or you're writing about or you're taking pictures of, it is not about you. it's about them. i'm going to say that again. it's not about you. it's about them. >> such an honor to be there. thank you, unc, class of 2014 for inviting me because i am still floating after the whole thing. and if you'd like to watch the whole speech, which i would love you to do, go to cnn.com/brooke. here with the final seconds of the show, look at all of that green. the dow is up 116 points.
1:00 pm
closing here right around 16,700. obviously you can check the latest numbers on wall street. go to cnn.com/money. and that is it for me. i'm brooke baldwin. thank you so much for tuning in. and now we go to washington. "the lead" with jake tapper starts now. from the frying panhandle into the fire. crews are racing to stop the flames in texas. i'm jake tapper. this is "the lead." all of this destruction in just 24 hours. how much more damage will be done before this wildfire is contained? the world lead. supposedly a glimpse of some of those kidnapped girls in nigeria. terrorist captors showing the videos with a heavy price, will the nigerian goemp government submit. that's not the w
