tv   Don Lemon Tonight  CNN  May 19, 2022 8:00pm-9:00pm PDT

8:00 pm
normally we would be starting the top of the hour with the developing new at this interview was so compelling that i wanted it to continue on. i'm back now with leticia rogers. she is the employee who called 911 during saturday's mass shooting and had the operator hangup on her because she was whispering and she was telling her heroin story. the last we left you you said, it was dead silent and the music and the store had gone off in the phone in the office kept ringing and ringing and you were hunched up against the wall on the floor and you could hear the shooter, his feet crunching like glass and debris on the floor and it sounded like he was getting closer and closer to the front of the
8:01 pm
store where you are. >> yes. and then after that, it was silent but i didn't know if there were more people in the store or anything and i proceeded to get a phone call from another friend. he is a is a local that gives employees rides to and from the store and he called me and said, please tell me that you are okay and i whispered to him and i said, yes, i'm scared. i'm -- i don't know what to do and he says, where are you, and i said, i'm at the desk. he said, stay down, don't move. the cops are outside and they are going to be coming in and i will be outside waiting for you. it just come find me outside. so i waited and i heard the walkie-talkies from the police and i peeped my head up a little bit over the counter and a officer happen to look in the window when he said, stay down. stay down.
8:02 pm
i got back down flat and i waited a couple more minutes. it seemed like forever. i heard people walking and i heard somebody crying hysterically. i kind of just got up and stood up with my hands up so that i could be noticed in the window and i saw an officer walk and employee by and i said, please can i get out? i just want to get out and she actually was able to get out through the door and i told her, yes, and she told me to come out and when i came out, i just saw bodies everywhere. it wasn't a good site at all. >> bodies everywhere. as you look back through the store, and did you have to wade through the debris in the bodies? >> when i was able to get out, i only looked out in the store
8:03 pm
because of the comfort of the young lady that was working for me and i was looking, just to see that she wasn't on the ground anywhere in the first person i saw was the security guard and i knew it was him by his uniform and i saw a couple more bodies near the self checkout. i saw two bodies in front of the desk where i was. they led me out the door. there was two bodies there. i kept walking in the parking lot and i saw another person that we knew that was there every day, deacon patterson. i saw him and i saw a woman next to him and when i got to the yellow tape, the first person i saw was my department manager, her husband, and i ran to him and i was in complete
8:04 pm
shock. you just didn't know what was going on and i didn't know until after that, it was one person that did all of this. >> did you see the shooter? >> not at all. >> you never saw him? >> no. >> how does one recover from something like that? look, it sounds like a scene out of a movie, right? the killer is getting closer. i can't even imagine. >> it was completely eerie. i would never wish nobody. the fear that was instilled in me, that situation, period, and to see what i saw, i would never want anybody to ever experience that, ever. this is not the first massacre. i'm sorry. i said, this is not the first massacre that i've been through. my brother was killed in 2010
8:05 pm
at the city grove shooting and i was also there for that. i'm just back at another massacre and going through this again. trying to find a healing process. >> how long did this all go on? >> maybe like two like 2 to 3 minutes but it seemed like forever. it like it wasn't going to stop. it felt like slow motion in a movie or something. it seemed like it took forever but maybe two or three minutes. >> you actually saw, you said that you heard a noise and you saw a woman pushing a cart and she turned around and you said that she had an expression. you saw her expression, i'm trying to realize whether this was real or not and if this was happening, and you read it all
8:06 pm
in her face. >> yes, she looked horrified. she turned like she was going to run and like i said, it was a little gap, a few seconds, but it seemed like it was a long time and you heard the next booms go off. it sounded like bombs being dropped in the store. it would be so loud. you could feel it. i've never experienced something like that. it was like you were in the middle of a battlefield. >> leticia, just so people that are just joining us, she is telling her story and it you said that you called 911, leticia, and the dispatcher had hung up on you. the executive, said that there was an inquiry and explained how the 911 call ctr. up looked into your call and i want you to listen to this and i will get your response. >> on sunday, they went to
8:07 pm
allah because and they identified this one call. it was completely unacceptable. on monday, the individual was put on administrative leave pending a hearing, which will be held on may 30, in which our intention is to terminate the 911 call taker. >> now he is confirming that the dispatcher is currently suspended and will face a disciplinary hearing where the county will seek determination. you've gone through a lot. is that satisfactory to you? are you satisfied with that? >> i mean, i'm not a coldhearted person at all and i would not want anybody to get me fired but right is right and wrong is wrong and that was absolutely wrong the way she handled that situation. i mean, i do feel like she should be terminated. you see on tv and movies and
8:08 pm
even on real-life cases, they will play the dispatch call back and the operator is calm and trying to keep you calm and trying to keep you talking to get information. i didn't have that from her at all. it was like i was bothering her. i feel like when she hung up on me, she never called back. i felt like she left me today and i legit thought i was going to die that day. >> you thought you were going to die? do you know any of the people? >> i know erin salter is and deacon patterson. >> how are you doing? >> i try to be strong. i don't like being in silence. it takes me right back to that place. i'm trying to be soft with my associates and it's kids that
8:09 pm
work in there with us and a lot of them are cashiers and they were in there. so it's a scary thing in my life and i really thought i was going to die that day. >> you are strong. and i know we are sorry that this happened to you, but we are . you be well. is there anything you want to say before i let you go? >> i want to give all of my condolences to all of the families, especially to the ones that i knew. just to pray for us associates. the ones who were there and worked there. everybody that works at that store, because we are hurt. we are scared. some of us want to come back and some of us don't. it's a tough time we are going through right now. >> thank you, leticia. be well. >> thank you.

welcome back, everyone. the latest from the january 6 committee, they want to hear from a republican lawmaker who said that they give a tour of the capital complex of the day before the insurrection. plus, sources say the atty. gen. has attentively agreed to test for the committee. getting to
8:15 pm
both of you. thanks for joining. so, elliott, we are hearing the former atty. gen., bill barr, ready to testify before the house and what is the most important questions that they need to enter? >> january 6 didn't start being planned on january 5 and conversations that president trump my have had, stretching back to this summer of 2020, can shed light on what the resident said of mind was going into january 6. obviously the legal strategy was an important element of this effort and perhaps he can shed light on that. there is a lot he can provide to the committee and it may not be testimony, for sake. not under the bright lights. >> mr. harwood, bill barr and
8:16 pm
donald trump have a complicated relationship based on all of your reporting. do you expect the former ag to be forthcoming with the committee? >> i do, don. look, bill barr, unlike donald trump, is an ideological worrier. he is a conservative christian who thinks that his side of the political divide is under attack . donald trump was it useful as a republican president to advance that agenda and bill barr was willing to carry a lot of water for him, particularly with respect to the mueller report, to advance his own agenda but once president trump loss, he found that what he was being asked to do by president trump was a bridge too far and not only that, that it was, as jonathan karl has reported in his book, that he concluded with mitch mcconnell, the sender republican leader, that it would be useful for him to
8:17 pm
state, publicly, what he thought that the front claims were empty and that matt help republicans keep the senate and it ultimately didn't but bill barr is about the cause and not about the person that i would expect him to talk about donald trump set of mine in the confrontations they had over election fraud before he quit his job as atty. gen. >> mr. williams, we are also learning, as evidence of a capitol to a republican, he gave it the day before the insurrection. this is coming after he led an ethics complaint against the democrats who wanted allegations of these tours investigated in the first place. he is denying it, strenuously, this is how you would describe the visit at the time in the interview. >> we actually had about a dozen people appear that wanted to come by and visit. we had them in our office.
8:18 pm
it they were definitely peaceful people appear to people we have met at church. they were supporters of the president and they wanted to be appear as if it was another rally and we checked on them to make sure that they are safe. when they saw what it was turning into, they immediately turned and went back down to get away the crowd here. >> so, there are also texts on the six saying that they have breached the capitol and this doesn't help our cause. it seems like the bar is pretty high here for the committee to support this allegation, don't you think? >> yes, this is a pretty nuclear claim to make about a member of congress and less they have some reason it to back it up. look, don, it's highly unlikely that the committee would have taken the step of sending a letter if they didn't already have some evidence or testimony to suggest something about these tours. now, the one thing that seems fishy here, the capitol building was closed at this time . anybody who was given
8:19 pm
stores, would have looked a little bit suspicious. at the end of the day, he's a member of congress and he can give tours to his constituents and this can be cleared up pretty easily by looking at the videotapes or having him come in to talk or talking to other members of congress and clearing it up. the book, it is a big claim to make. as he says in the letter, based on evidence that has already been made available to the committee, it seems like they have at least something that has raised the question to the congressman. >> all right. john elliott, thank you both. i appreciate it. >> thanks, don. >> i want to turn to the democratic congress women. presented of macbeth, take you for joining. >> thank you. it's always an honor to be with you. >> i want to get a reaction to the committee saying that they have evident that he led. i do have questions? >> that's very concerning to me
8:20 pm
as it has been from many of my colleagues. they have to continue to do this important work. i just hope that we never allow these kinds of tragedies to happen again and that we have to continue to take the steps to protect our country. this is for the sake of our country. >> speaking of tragedies, you ran for office to fight for gun safety after your son, jordan, was shot and killed by someone who thought he was playing his music too loud. i wanted to ask you about this recent string of my shootings, including 10 people hunted down by racist gunmen in buffalo. i know you understand the pain of all of these families. my question is, why can't congress do something to help stop these massacres? >> well, i'm actually exhausted by the numbers of tragedies that we see happening. i'm sick. i'm tired. i'm so frustrated having get to do these shows and talk about the death and despair that we continue to see with all of the
8:21 pm
frequency and my prayers are with the people of buffalo. i have family who live in that neighborhood. i played on the streets there as a young child. my mother is from the neighborhood. it is a black neighborhood at that was attacked by a white supremacist and that we see these kinds of attacks far more frequently and the victims of it that buffalo shooting died in the same way that my son died, they were shot. just going about their everyday life. simply because of the color of their skin and i said this before and i will say it again. we have to have the courage to do the right thing. it to save and protect our families because i do know that pain of burying a child and no family should ever have to go through these kinds of experiences. these are life shattering experiences and grief. >> you are on a ballot on
8:22 pm
tuesday and having to compete against her democratic colleague in congress because of the redistricting. are they redrawing districts to their favor? >> unfortunately, i always have been the top target of the republicans because of the legislative success that i've actually had on gun safety and veterans and healthcare and many other pieces of legislation and i've actually been able to sign into law by both president and after my son died, i made a promise to my son , to my family, and to my community. i promise that i would do everything in my power to keep them safe and to keep from what happened to us, happening to any other family. anyone else had to keep that promise to my son and to my community, i must run in the newly created democratic district, georgia senate seat, because lights are dependent on
8:23 pm
it and i refuse to let brian pep, governor kemp, the nra and the government party decided to represent us in congress. that is for the people to decide. >> i want to get your take on oklahoma's legislature passing a bill today that would ban borges from the state. it would allow private citizens to sue abortion, who knowingly perform an abortion on a woman. you are a lawmaker and you are a woman. i want to get your take on this. how could restrictions like this ever be practically applied? >> well, don, you know, as i shared my story with my colleagues in congress yesterday, you know, it's my story but is also the story of many women across the country, and it includes of joy in giving birth to a child and her break of losing a pregnancy and the stories i shared to my college yesterday was, as i
8:24 pm
said, it is uniquely my story but it doesn't resonate with me. >> can we play that and get your -- the rest of it? i want our audience to hear what you said because it's so powerful and i would get the rest of your response. >> after which failed pregnancy should i have been imprisoned? what it happen after the first miscarriage? after doctors use what would be an illegal drug to abort the loss fetus? would you have put me in jail after the second miscarriage? or would you have put me behind bars after my stillbirth? after i was forced to carry a dead fetus for weeks. after asking god if i was ever going to raise the child and i asked because the same medicine to treat my failed pregnancies, is the same medicine that they would make it legal. i asked because of alabama makes abortion murder, does it
8:25 pm
make miscarriage manslaughter? >> again, i wanted the audience to hear your very powerful words there and i have to ask you, 10 or 15% of pregnancies end in miscarriages. do people actually understand what the implications are for women's bodies? >> i really don't think they do. i really do not think that they do. you know, it's what i experience, yes, but it's the same experience. millions appointment that they've actually had to indoor and the women in our workplaces and homes and neighborhoods and in our places of community, they have all experienced similar tragedies to mine and this potential rolling is a threat. it's a threat to all of the women in our lives that have needed or will one-day need access to very vital and critical family planning and healthcare services. they have no idea what they are about to do it
8:26 pm
>> think you, congresswoman. i appreciate you joining. >> thank you very much. take care. an extremely rare disease making its way to the u.s. a case of monkeypox confirmed in a man in massachusetts. several more cases and other are showing up in europe. we will tell you what to l look out for coming up next. had my share, man. ♪ ♪ i've been everywhere. ♪ ♪ i've been to: pittsburgh, parkersburg, ♪ ♪ gravelbourg, colorado, ♪ ♪ ellensburg, cedar city, dodge city, what a pity. ♪ ♪ i've been everywhere, man. ♪ ♪ i've been everywhere, man. ♪ ♪ i've been everywhere. ♪

tonight, the cdc and health officials in massachusetts investigating and confirmed a case in monkeypox and they patient hospitalized in boston. the cdc is tracking clusters around the globe and most of us up probably never heard of monkeypox, so is there a cause for concern? he is an epidemiologist who spent his career fighting epidemics and is one of the doctors who helped eradicate smallpox in the 1970s. good evening. good to see you. before we get to this, wasn't there one recently within the last seven or eight years? >> it was. it was in minnesota. it was spread by giant gambian pouch rodents. >> let's talk about this but we are learning to that the u.s. officials are investigating a possible case of monkeypox. there is a confirmed case in massachusetts who traveled to canada.
8:32 pm
the cdc is monitoring six possible cases in the country and as you can see on the map on your screen now, multiple clusters around the world, what is monkeypox, how does it spread, what are the symptoms? >> one to a cousin of smallpox. it may be in ancient history, they had the same ancestor, but these are all zoonotic diseases. they lead from animals to humans when they approach on animal territory or when humans eat animals and this is one more in the z key, west nile, ebola, and covid as we live in an age of pandemics. >> how concerned should folks be? >> well, because it is a virus, an epidemiologist ears pop up, but smallpox killed when out of three and half 1 billion of people in the 20th century. monkeypox only had a 3000 cases in the whole world last year and maybe 5% or 10% or 15% lead to death. it's primarily probably being
8:33 pm
spread by other animals and just get the bad label for it, but it is a disease. it can cause death and it has to be watched but this is very early in the investigation. >> let's talk about covid now. reported covid infections have more than doubled over the past month and everywhere i go, and i'm sure folks at home, we hear that somebody has covid. what is this and where are we headed? >> this is the silent epidemic. this is a silent search, but it is a significant surge but it has the possibility of being the highest third of cases, even hospitalizations are inching up, and it isn't that omicron is a milder disease and then previous variance, but we've made it more mild because we got a layer of protection with all of the vaccinations that we've done and some people had prior infection and three or four vaccinations, have
8:34 pm
hybrid immunity. >> it's affecting everywhere, right? obviously workplaces, schools, so on and so forth. people now are just starting to , they think it's inevitable that they are going ticket covid. is it time that we start treating it like the flu? you are going to get covid, you stay at home, you isolate from people at work or school or whatever you want to get better, you go back? >> absolutely not. you know, you don't find one out of 10 or three out of 10 that have a long cold. along with covid is a think. a lot of people lose their voice. of course they lose their taste. those things may not last for a long time, but this brain fog in this lack of ability to carry on, that's a big deal. i'm afraid that if we just say we are done with covid in the virus hasn't agreed, because the viruses and done with us, then we may wind up putting such a burden on our healthcare system.
8:35 pm
no, we have to be careful. we can't do what china did, balk everybody up and keep them walk up so that if they now the case later on, china will explode and we can do what people say, just leave it alone, the way that they said early on in sweden, which is the highest death rate of all of its countries. >> we are seeing a new twist with the antiviral drug. it's called, but set to reduce the 90% but reports have emerged that some people who received the drug develop a rebound. i know somebody who develop a rebound of symptoms and just a few days after completing the course of medication. so what is going on? i have a very close friend who did it and he thought he was fine, and again, boom. went back. >> it's a really excellent drug. thank god we have an antiviral where people can take and i'm not sure this is a rebound. it may merely be that they should've had a longer dose. we don't have any real evidence
8:36 pm
that a five day dose is better than a 10 day dose. we don't know how long it takes. >> this is two weeks later. >> i understand. i understand. maybe they didn't get enough of the medicine in five days. >> should you do it then? because most people just let it play out. but the virus run its course, right? isolate, sleep come at it whatever they are supposed to do. do you need it? >> it depends on who you are. if you are young and healthy and you have no pre-existing conditions and you don't have any compromise state and you are not obese or diabetic, maybe you can watch it but my god, if you are over 65 and you have disease or somebody at home is sick, it's a wonderful drug to have. >> dr., it's always a pleasure to see you. it's good to see you in person. >> truly a pleasure. really a pleasure. >> the stock market suffered

the horizon, even as inflation slowed in april. high prices continue to hammer americans at the grocery store and at the pump and all of this is to address a crippling shortage of a formula in the u.s. he is the former chairman of the council of economic advisers under president obama. as i was reading that, i wanted to relate to the viewer, i wish that i had better news to tell you and everything has been dismal and depressing but, jason, were here and you are here and i hope you have good news for us. do you have any at all? >> look, one piece of good news is that the american consumer, the backbone of our economy, keep spending. the people are down about the economy. there are all of these negative things happening but month after month, spending just keeps going up and that's keeping our growth going. >> okay. there is something, but there is also this baby for my crisis. tonight the white house said
8:43 pm
that it has security first overseas shipment, which will arrive in indiana within days. so how do we get to such a crisis point with this? >> look. there are so many different failures of government policy. many of them at the fda. they layer it on top of a long set of policies. we don't allow baby formula in it from countries like it, even though it is safer and better than our baby formula. we put tariffs on it when it comes from canada. we have government policies that create monopolies for it here. all of those are problem. the biden administration is a sweeping some of those a way, but we will need to rely, to some degree, on the rest of the world to help us out right now and i would like to. we need to let them. >> the fda chief getting hammered by lawmakers on capitol hill on the shortage that is now in the third month. he vows that we will see a
8:44 pm
turnaround in just days. do you think that is realistically >> i certainly hope so. we will see that plan with the fda and order it off-line coming back online in the next week or two. we are seeing the shipments from overseas. the administration has invoked the defense production act to make sure that some of the key ingredients are being prioritized for baby formula over everything else. none of this though, none of these steps will work instantly. >> why didn't the administration act faster? could they have? >> i don't know. this sort of went from nowhere, something that probably parents are aware of. it to something that all of us were aware of. i certainly think that there could have been some earlier action here but we are seeing some very decisive action now, as much is the president can do. the problem is the fda. it's a lot more they could do that they are still not doing. >> they have hike interest rate
8:45 pm
to 40 a high interest level and some people worry that it will start a recession, you say no. the biggest problem is that it might not do enough? >> yes, look. nobody knows. you can always have a recession at any point in time but right now, as i said at the top i see consumer spending. i see businesses bringing that more and more workers back. lots of job openings. it's an economy with a very strong demand. it's hard for me to see how you go from that to a recession. i'm worried about inflation. i'm worry about whether the feds would do enough to bring inflation down but over the next year, recession is not high on my worry list. >> how much did the stimulus bill under president biden have to do with what is happening now? they said they put too much money into the economy and the
8:46 pm
heated up things and that helped us to contribute to the problem that we are facing now. >> yes, i think the stimulus bill was too large. i think it did help speed our economic recovery. it had a good aspect to it. with that three-point six unemployment now. we have a lot of job growth that we also have a lot of inflation. we have a lot more inflation than you were seeing in other countries around the world and i think that is because the stimulus bill with oversize. that is behind us. the question is, what we do going forward? most of the jobs are assigned to the fed. they were the ones with the toys and the ones who need to do it in the president needs to figure out how he can figure out a little bit, which is all he can do as well. >> thank you so much. be well. >> thank you. the biden administration expected to lift an immigration water days from now. at that has some texas residents on edge feeling a surge in migrants. that's the way next.
