tv Anderson Cooper 360 CNN May 16, 2023 9:00pm-10:00pm PDT
9:00 pm
good evening. tonight, we are seeing the latest frontline in the battle over abortion in america in north carolina. we are waiting right now for republican lawmakers in that state to reaffirm a new -- abortion bill that the state's democratic governor roy cooper last night said in this broadcast would turn the clock back 50 years for women. he vetoed the republican-passed measure which bans most abortions after 12 weeks. and imposes other limitations making it harder to get even
9:01 pm
before that 12 week period. this afternoon the state senate overrode his veto, so now we are waiting to hear from the house where there is all could hinge on a single vote. cnn's dianne gallagher is in raleigh for us tonight. so, where does the effort to override the governor's veto stand now? >> well, anderson, as we speak at this moment, the north carolina state house's currently debating over this bill, senate bill 20, and whether or not they will override that veto. a little bit earlier today, after about an hour of debate in the senate, they chose and passed that veto override on a party line, 30 to 20 vote. that was the first part of this two part process. now, this is when it gets a little bit tricky here. because it is a numbers game. so in order to override the veto in the house, after this particular debate that is happening right now, they need to have three fifths of the voting and present members there. now if all republicans and all democrats are, they're
9:02 pm
republicans do have enough members if they all vote to override. but that is the key. they have such a narrow super majority that if one member chooses to defect or chooses not to vote, then the veto override fails. and this bill does not come become law. if all republicans vote together tonight, then this bill will be law, anderson. we expect the vote to take place sometime in the next hour or so. as debate continues there on the floor. >> when i spoke to the governor last night on the program, there were a couple of lawmakers that he was sort of focusing his hopes on as maybe switching their vote or just not showing up to vote, or not choosing to vote. >> that's right. so since this bill was first really introduced, and that was exactly two weeks ago tonight, it passed through both chambers and just 48 hours. we are talking about jamming this through the system, rapid warp speed here that we are
9:03 pm
operating. it has since been vetoed and after and leading up to the government's veto he was sort of crisscrossing the state. trying to report constituents, at least report republican lawmakers leaning back on past comments that they had made about abortion access. now two of those lawmakers spoke out against governors. the pressure campaign. saying they don't feel their past statements had conflicted with the current way this law is written. one of those lawmakers, senator mike lee, he did vote to overrun the veto in the senate. but the other three members are in the south. they are in the house. representative john bradford said he thinks the governor is wrong. but those other two members, excuse me, representative trisha cotham and representative ted davis have been quiet about this. ted davis did not vote for the bill when it came up roughly two weeks ago in the house. he was absent. trisha did vote for it. however, she, you probably remember, infamously switched parties last month. and when she ran as a democrat
9:04 pm
she ran on a pro abortion access platform. so much so that she actually introduced, helped introduce a bill that would have covid codified roe v. wade into law in north carolina, this session just a few months ago. we will see a few votes tonight on this veto override. >> you are watching diane gallagher, appreciate it. we will continue to monitor what is going on in north carolina throughout the hour. we will continue to come back to diane to cover what is happening with that vote. coming up next right now, ukraine arid sirens are sounding right now in kyiv across the country as a russian missile barrage directly to the capital and american defense systems. now we will have the latest on that from our sam kiley and our retired army four-star general wesley clark in just a moment. but we have just gotten some new footage from bakhmut in the east of ukraine. the town that has seen that intense fighting, sometimes block by block, house by house. we don't know much about who shot this video, you will hear a voice yelling that sounds british. but the video is important, it gives you a sense of what it is like fighting street to street,
9:05 pm
or what the sounds are like in bakhmut. [sound of gunfire] [sound of artillery] >> over there! hey! hey! over there! 11:00! 11:00! [sound of artillery] [sound of gunfire] >> [inaudible] hey! hey! hey, let's get out! over there! over there! >> intense fighting, they're the soldiers eye view of a battle for a city that has become a symbol of ukrainian resistance, as well as a potential focal point for the
9:06 pm
next phase of the war. cnn's sam kiley is in ukraine for us tonight. he joins us now. sam, i know you have to see the video we played as well. based on what your sources are telling you, is that what is happening all around talking -- l? or what is it look like? >> well i've been speaking to members of the international legion who have soldiers fighting in bakhmut, and they do describe it being exactly like that. incidentally, that voice you hear there is, to my ear, undoubtedly, english, southern english, probably essex or east london. so, it does narrow it down, the type of person who is fighting there in terms of where they may come from. clearly, it's very intense. that fighting is brutal, it is daily. they tell me that they're frequently trying to get the russians to invest in two houses which have already been pre-booby trapped so they can blow them up over on top of the russians heads. really ghastly, brutal campaign,
9:07 pm
in stark contrast almost a 90 septic campaign going on in the air with a series, now, of variant and severe bomb bombardments over kyiv, culminating last night in very concentrated focused air bombardment. this is how it unfolded. >> a new russian tactic in the air assault against kyiv. concentrated fire by missiles and drones, testing ukraine's air defenses, probing for weaknesses. ukraine says it shot down 18 missiles, including six of russia's hypersonic weapon. it was once considered in vulnerable to air defenses. now, not so much. >> six of these missiles were fired in the direction of the capital. they were all destroyed by our air defense.
9:08 pm
>> russia has been trying to overwhelm ukraine with air attacks for months. the results, though, have been more pledges of air defenses from the u.s. and especially the uk, and now even germany after months of holding back. >> on the ground, the conflict grinds on in bakhmut. [speaking non-english] wagner mercenary leader yevgeny prigozhin releasing a new video purporting to show him in the city. he demonstrates uncharacteristic sympathy for an alleged american volunteer killed fighting for ukraine. >> we will hand them over to the united states of america. we will put him in a coffin, cover him with the american flag with respect because he did not die in his bed as a grandpa, but he died at war. most likely, it really does. >> the washington post has reported that u.s. intelligence documents suggest that he tried to trade russian intelligence
9:09 pm
for seeding territory around bakhmut. prigozhin denies the claims. russia said that the allegations progression offered to spy for ukraine are a hoax. in the kremlin, they might one day be considered treason, making this town, perhaps, a safer place than mosque over russia's top mercenary. >> sam it's remarkable that ukraine was able to shoot down all those russian hypersonic missiles. overall, how have the ukraine air defense systems been fearing against this latest onslaught? >> well, first of all, russians claim that they weren't firing that many hypersonic missiles. so, ukrainians couldn't have shot them down. they're also saying that they destroyed one of the patriot batteries, and u.s. officials have admitted that one of the batteries was, indeed, damaged, but not destroyed. they have been vulnerable, they are the primary target, i think,
9:10 pm
for many of these airstrikes, at least in the initial basis. the contribution being made by the united states, and a lot of other nato allies. they're not just patriot missiles, they are one of the important batteries but almost dozens of different types of air defenses now, operating across ukraine, that have been given by other nations to make an absolutely vital difference in this war, preventing russians from overwhelming the airspace and controlling it. that is something that, from day one, of the russians were assumed that they would be able to do, and more than a year into the war, they most certainly can't, at least not yet, anderson. >> sam kiley, i appreciated. thanks, be careful. throughout the war, we've tried to wesley clark for insight. in addition to being an analyst, he's a supreme allied commander. >> general clark, you see the news out of ukraine, what does that say about the
9:11 pm
effectiveness of the patriot systems versus russia's hypersonic missiles? they've been touted as being nearly impossible to intersect. >> that's what mr. putin said, but it turns out that patriot can intercept a hypersonic missile. after all, the patriot was designed to intercept ballistic missiles that were in coming. they are moving at much more than three or four times the speed of sound. so, the patriot has a radar, the guiding system, and energy in the missile to be able to strike an incoming hypersonic missile. >> do you know how large process supply is? can it afford to keep using them in waves of attacks? >> i think it's really a logistics issue for both sides. the question is, how many patriot missiles can ukraine afford to fire? as i look at it, anderson, it's a sort of strategic calculus by the russians to try to exhaust the ukrainians air defense missiles prior to the time that
9:12 pm
ukraine launches its main attack. so, russia can deploy its tactical aircraft and an air to ground role against ukrainian counteroffensive. >> we saw the founder of the wagner group claim that an american fighter had been killed in bakhmut. do you think russia has made a mistake focusing so much of its forces on bakhmut? not only the wagner group, but russia's main army as well? >> it certainly seems to me like i'm a steak. we may never know why they did, it but it seems it's become a symbolic objective, and the russian high command has obviously told its generals, take bakhmut, don't care what it costs, just get it. so, they've thrown countless assaults in there. they've taken a lot of losses. now, they are vulnerable to being actually encircled by the ukrainians. this would be a huge symbolic defeat for russia. it might open a way to a surprise offensive that goes
9:13 pm
right through bakhmut by the ukrainians at the heart of the russian positions. >> what do you think a ukrainian offensive will hope to accomplish? >> ideally, ukrainians are going to get an offensive going in the south towards crimea. we have to be repaired to be surprised. it's going to be more than one access of attack. there may be one in the north, maybe one of the east towards bakhmut, or donetsk, and one in the south, perhaps on a legal poll, or go across to never, near kherson. we don't really know, and they're probably -- they have multiple options at this stage. anderson, a counteroffensive is probably underway right now. we are just not seeing it. they're doing reconnaissance and attacking the logistics, backbone of the russians. they're trying to be able to present a re-deployment of russian forces by selective
9:14 pm
strikes that we are seeing at just the beginning of that with the storm shadow missiles that the uk has provided. so, it looks to me like the opening stage of four months of counteroffensive. >> general wesley clark, i appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> next tonight, a serious security breach involving an intruder getting into and out of the home of president biden's national security adviser. somehow, without the secret service agents on his detail noticing. the former agent joins us next. also next, the latest on talks to head off a possible financial calamity over the debt ceiling with former treasury secretary larry summers helping us understand, ahead. ou want in the clouds of your choice. with flexible multi-cloud services that enable digital innovation and enterprise control, vmware helps you innovate and grow.

9:19 pm
was hurt. there was no threat made. he and his family were safe. the fact is, this intruder got into the house, despite the fact that he has a security detail, secret service security detail posted outside of the home. not only was that person not seen going in, was not seen going out either, anderson. >> what does the secret service say? >> they say they take this or seriously and are doing in investigation. i'll read you part of the statement today. it's as modifications to their protective posture have also been made to ensure additional security are in place as we conduct this comprehensive review. that signals they're going to take a look at that people who were there that night, if they need additional trainee, different disciplinary action. those things are being looked at. >> is it clear who this person is? i assume there is some video somewhere of this person. >> you know, it appears that jake sullivan knows this person, or at least recognized what
9:20 pm
happened here as somebody who was, perhaps, intoxicated, and went to the wrong house. the problem is, nobody was arrested. that person was able to leave the premises, leave that home without being discussed or talked to, rather, by the security detail. there has been no arrest, there is not going to be any prosecution because it appears, at least from what the incident was reported, it was just a mistaken identity, mistaken home, wanted to. >> jake sullivan knows who the person is? >> it's not clear if he knows who it is, what we know is -- >> he thought the person was -- he just -- >> exactly, right. he recognized this person obviously did not belong there. >> got it. i've been press, i appreciate it. perspective from jonathan what grow. obviously, this is not great for the agents involved in this. how does this happen? >> that's the underlying question here, right? it's why the secret service needs to do this investigation,
9:21 pm
what they're calling a mission assurance investigation, and that is looking at every single policy and procedure that is applied to protection, not just around national security adviser sullivan, but across the entire enterprise of the secret service, ensuring that the mission of the secret service is not tainted, that there is no issues. they want to be sure this is an isolated insulin, that this agent did not follow protocol, and reassured, basically, the public that the secret service is not facing systemic problems. the real big issue i see here is that these weren't new agents. these were seasoned veteran agents, best of the best, they are on the presidents detail. so why they were detailed to, and i say, sullivan, that evening, their member of biden's team. they could be, at anytime, protecting the president. this is why the secret service
9:22 pm
is undertaking this process to isolate, was there a problem with just these agents in restoring credibility back to the secret service? >> according to evans reporting, sullivan told the investigators he believed the intruder was intoxicated. if that's the case, the idea that, i mean, this wasn't like a ninja coming in, this was, you know, a drunk person -- >> we think. >> we think, but we don't know, but even that doesn't speak well of the agents if some drunk person is able to kind of -- >> it's almost worse, right? if there was someone stumbling drunk around the neighborhood, and you got into the backyard, got in through an unlocked door, into the residence, and you want to face to face with your protective, that's about as bad as it gets. you know? there will be, you know, repercussions for this. their director will hold agents accountable if they failed intermission. i think that is really what's important for the director of the secret service right now. transparency and accountability in this issue. make sure that the investigation moves forward in
9:23 pm
a very open way. >> obviously, they would've had cameras, of the ages on detail, on a property, i assume they have security cameras setup. >> don't want to get too far into what the security protocols are, but we live in an environment where there are cameras everywhere. that's got to be part of the investigation, which is one, how did this happen, and how do you prevent it from ever happening again. >> a secret service, you know, there was the incident at the pelosi house in san francisco, which is not the secret service who were responsible for protection there. i mean, are there lessons learned from federal agencies, that they have learned from that attack, you think? >> the lessons are usually set by the secret service. again, they are the best in the world that protection. they applied protective methodology unlike anybody else, whether it is part of the advanced process, or day-to-day physical activity of protection. they have to understand what failed in this moment. why were these agents at the house unaware that there was

>> president biden and house speaker mccarthy called today's debt ceiling negotiations at the white house, quote, productive, if the two sides don't reach agreement on raising the amount of money that country is allowed to borrow, the u.s. could default on its debts as soon as you in first. the months-long process has led to a lot of back and forth sniping between two parties. when ken buck told cnn today a brief default would not be in, has where, it's the end of the world. economists and analysts have not been optimistic about it. larry summers joins me now. >> secretary summers, i appreciate you joining us. congressman budd says he doesn't think it's the end of the world if the u.s. really defaults. what would happen? but would be the repercussions for most americans? >> it's not an experiment we want to do.
9:29 pm
it could mean people don't get their social security checks, a lot of people who are living hand to mouth. could mean we have people fighting in dangerous environments overseas who don't get their pay on time, and at a time when we've still got people in the military on food stamps. that's got to be a serious thing. we've already seeing the spread on u.s. bonds, the interest rate that the united states has to pay to borrow, go up, and that means higher taxes, for all of us. it's got to affect our standing as a series country in the world, if people are wondering whether that united states is going to pay its debt. it's an experiment, but it's one of those experiments like taking a wonder with your eyes closed and traffic, that might turn out okay if you do it. why would you want to try that kind of experiment?
9:30 pm
>> are there economic on sequences for coming close to a debt default? even if we don't reach the debt limit? >> we have a lower credit rating as a country because we came close to the debt limit and defaults in the 2011 period. we got downgraded and haven't been upgraded sense. the debt the government is issuing right now, some has higher interest rate than it otherwise would. now, not that the interest rate is far higher, on the other hand, when you have 30 trillion dollars of debt, you don't really have to have much higher interest rate for it to be pretty expensive. there is another cost to all of this. our country has got profound problems, profound challenges, whether it is what to do about ukraine or how to take advantage and make it a success. the tremendous opportunity associated with artificial
9:31 pm
intelligence. instead, we have our policy makers all focused on just how a dance is going to play out. the conclusion of which that the united states is going to pay its debt sooner or later. i just think this is a foolish exercise. i hope it ends as soon as it possibly can. >> look at the stock market, some have a 401k retirement savings tied up. there seems to be skittishness about a default. >> yeah, i mean, during the period when the default was being debated in 2011, the stock market went down by a little more than 15%. today, that would be in the range of six trillion dollars. that's $20,000 for every american, almost, in wealth, at
9:32 pm
least for a time, that would be destroyed. not in part, it's because of the details of what's happening with the debt. in part because it makes people doubt our society, makes people doubt our government. so, the right thing to do is to move on with this. look, the people who say we've got real fiscal issues in our country, that right, but just because you've got some issue with me, and you're right about your issue, it doesn't mean you get to hold me hostage or kidnap one of my children. it's not really right to be kidnapping and hijacking the financial credibility of the united states to make a point about the deficit and fiscal policies. >> you said in a conference, at the end of april, you thought the odds of a default -- over the next few months were low, about two to 3%, if it
9:33 pm
happens to be repaired fairly quickly. do you still think it's fairly low like that? >> probably, because we haven't dealt with it since that time. the odds are probably a little higher than that. i think that the very high likelihood is that we will not have a default on government debt in the sense that the people who rode interest will get it, people who rode their principal back we'll get it, and they will get it on time. will it be some other destructions to the government's financial affairs? probably not. that is a little more likely. >> secretary summers, i predict your time. >> thank you. >> coming up next, a potential good news on alzheimer's, startling new research into alzheimer's disease that could help scientists searching for ways to better prevent it and treat it.

>> it's hard to get some good news related to alzheimer's, but researchers now say they've uncovered what may be an important clue that could one day lead to better prevention and treatment. alzheimer's disease is that debilitating form of dementia that currently affects more than 6 million u.s. adults. the cdc projects that could affect as many as 14 million americans decades from now. chief medical analyst doctor sanjay gupta joins us now. sanjay, researchers were tracking a man in columbia, from what i read, who had a bad family history of early onset alzheimer's. he didn't get it like most of his family did, and they discovered something in his jeans. is that right? >> so, this is a very
9:38 pm
well-known study in columbia. it's been going on some 40 years, there's a family and extended family, some 6000 people, and what they found is there is this one mutation, called ptsd and one, pre-sunlen one. if you have this mutation, you have almost 100% guarantee you are going to get alzheimer's disease. that has made this particular family very important to study. they found is that a couple times, second time it happened, despite having that mutation which, again, almost guarantees are going to get alzheimer's, it's been a couple of people who still haven't gotten it, or they got it much later than otherwise expected. that is made them, you know, interesting to say, they're trying to figure out what is protecting them? what's making them resilience to alzheimer's? is there something we could all learn from that? >> many members of this family get it in their 40s. this guy, i think, didn't get it until late 60s, or something, or, if i'm correct. what exactly have researchers
9:39 pm
learned about the gene change and how it helped this man live longer? >> first of all, it right, multiple not only got, it 1% got, it but got it in their 40s or 50s. they developed, really, early onset symptoms. this man that we're talking about, he was diagnosed officially with mild dementia 72 and progressed pretty rapidly. there was a few decades after other people with this mutation had it. what they found, and this is part of a large study, his brain was examined after he died, and they found evidence of another sheen mutation which was producing a particular protein that was located here, i'll show you on this model, in this area of the brain, in an area of the brain that is responsible for memory, but responsible for smell. it's called the entorhinal cortex. you don't need to remember that. what is interesting here, anderson, his brain had a lot of amyloid plaque and tangles of tau in the brain.
9:40 pm
it was this one area and here that was protected with those additional protein. again, these are really studies, this is one case, but there could be something really important in there in terms of that protein and how it's protective of the brain. >> a sister of a man in this study shared that same protective protein, right, and help her, but not as much. her family said she began experiencing a cognitive decline in her late 50s. >> she, again, it was probably a decade later than other people who had this particular gene. it's interesting, we're not sure why they're such a gendered difference when it comes to alzheimer's. about two thirds of people who have alzheimer's disease are women. one third are men. is there a different biological process happening? are women diagnosed earlier than one for some reason? they don't know. again, the protein in this case was helpful, not as helpful, and that's going to be another important clue. >> is it likely in new therapies that would be developed from this study, and how does this compare to other
9:41 pm
treatments like cannon app, and the other one that has come out, which do, and can eliminate black? >> got to tell you, i think it's a pretty big deal. i got a lot of calls from people about this today. there's a lot of excitement, it's very early, but i think, as one researcher but it, putting more of this protein in the brain, in some way, could be protective against the symptoms of alzheimer's disease, again, very early. there could be therapies. i think one of the most interesting findings, though, the second point you're making. so many of the therapies over the last couple of decades have focused on eliminating or reducing the amount of amyloid plaque in the brain. it's part of the amyloid hypothesis. with this particular brain, this person's brain who was pretty protected against a guaranteed diagnosis of early alzheimer's, he still had a lot of amyloid plaque in his brain. he had a lot of tangles and his brain. if anything, it might send a
9:42 pm
