a lot of people want to be photographed with magic johnson, i took a photograph with magic johnson. and so the idea he knows her beyond that is just simply not true. >> i am just curious, as a journalist sitting down with these two men in l.a. back-to-back how would you characterize their demeanor, their preparedness, what was a contrast in comparison? >> listen, if somebody said the things about me that donald sterling said about magic johnson i would be hard appreciate epressed to show the kind of grace that magic johnson showed tonight. he could have with very good reason said some pretty terrible things about donald sterling. instead he talked about praying for donald sterling and feeling sad for him. i think that is what a lot of viewers probably -- you know, kind of even maybe felt sympathetic towards donald sterling for a variety of reasons. but i think that shows the kind of person magic johnson is that he basically handled it in this way. and that he you know, set forth pretty -- you know, as far as i'm concerned explanations that make sense on everything and did it in a wa

he just talked to magic johnson. but first jason carroll is "outfront" with more on what obviously has become massive bad blood between the two men. >> to say donald sterling has a problem with magic johnson would be a gross understatement. >> i just don't think he is a good example for the children of los angeles. that he would go and do what he did, and then get aids. i mean, come on. maybe he doesn't think i could be a good owner. >> reporter: those are some of sterling's most recent comments. but what started it all were racist statements heard during a recorded argument sterling had with v. stiviano after she posted a picture of magic johnson on his instagram. >> bringing him here, feeding him, i don't care. you can do anything. but don't put him on instagram for the world to have to see so they can call me. and don't bring him to my games, okay? >> reporter: the nba banned sterling, and that was enough for johnson. >> cookie and i said that we would never go back to a clipper game as long as he owned a team. bu

is there a link between walter white and linda johnson? -- lyndon johnson? >> walter white was real. [laughter] he was real to me. unless youy someone make him real. yeah, there are similarities. i think both had created and allowed the incredible drive it and ambition to be unleashed. >> and the end justifies the means. walter white saving his family so he can do whatever he wants. >> it is for my family. lyndon johnson is for the betterment of the country. i'm cutting your balls off for the betterment of the country. it was necessary to protect the country. i know you know the scene. >> go ahead sir. >> this is joe. >> your father is the one who makes clothes? you made me some real light weight slacks. to me three or four months ago. a light around and a light green. they are real light weight. i need about six pairs for summer wear. >> you recall the size? >> no, i don't know.. what -- once you have the measurements? i can send you a pair. i want them half an inches wider and the waste. but i want to-three inches left so i can take them back up. i very 10

magic johnson's coming up. >> magic johnson has made a public comment. do you have something to say to him? >> what could i say to him? he -- it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter. i'm hurt but it doesn't matter. >> you're hurt that he -- that he said that he spoke out publicly? >> i'm hurt that he called me up and he said don't do anything. wait until you hear from me. then somebody called me later and said he doesn't want to be involved. and then he released a tape that i said to him that i talked to him in confidence. i didn't give any interviews. you are my interview. i'm deciding if i like you. no, but i mean, here is a man who -- i don't know if i say this. he acts so holy. i mean, he made love to every girl in every city in america. and he had aids. and when he had those aids i went to my synagogue and i prayed for him. i hoped he could live and be well. i didn't criticize him. i could have, is he an example for children? you know, because he has money he is able to treat himself. but magic johnson is irrelevant in this thing. he didn't do anything

i don't know -- >> for the record magic johnson has the magic johnson foundation. his business life invests in inner-city communities. his foundation has given millions on hiv/aids education, on overall education on scholarships to people, on, you know, working communities. so for 20 years he's -- >> this attack on magic is crazy. he's messing with the wrong brother. and magic is loved by everybody around the world. and to talk about some other stuff that has nothing to do with nothing is ridiculous. and the whole what jews do and what blacks don't, that's insane. anderson, i did a documentary which was nominated for an academy award called "four little girls" it's about the bombing of the baptist church in birmingham, alabama. and i interviewed george wallace and this reminds me of george wallace in that interview. >> how so? >> he was trying -- all the stuff he did, all he could talk about was i bought school books for black kids who didn't have school books. he didn't want to hear about the bombing. the german shepherds, the hoses and for him to say, you know, h

why lyndon johnson? on broadway for bryan cranston. >> well, i think any actor broadway is the pinnacle of their career and i certainly have it on my bucket list to be able to do a broadway show. that was going to be very exciting for me if that was possible. the zeitgeist of breaking bad created such a fervor that i got a lot of attention and i was caught up in that maelstrom of energy and i thought well i have an opportunity now. so i knew that after 14 years of doing television, seven with malcolm in the middle and six with breaking bad that it was time to push away. it was time to step away from that ubiquitous nature of television and hide out, so to speak, in the theatre and do a play that was hopefully important, and a character that i can sink my teeth into and this was both of those things. >> rose: how much did you know about lyndon johnson other than the fact that during vietnam he was the president? you know, i think the interesting concept is that for most people when they think of lyndon jo

and as for magic johnson, we'll let sterling tell you what he thinks in his own words. look. >> i embarrassed the league. i humiliated them. i don't know how -- why i did it. i mean, i feel terrible. >> so, you don't believe, though, that the owners would vote to have you removed as owner? >> i don't think so. the players don't hate me. the sponsors don't hate me. >> you don't believe the players -- >> the fans don't hate me. the media hates. the media, it's all the media pushing it. >> honestly? you really believe that this is just the media? >> i believe it 100%. i believe it 100%. people call me by the thousands and give me support. >> magic johnson has made a public comment. do you have something to say to him? >> what can i say to him? he -- it doesn't matter. here is a man who's -- i don't know if i say this -- he acts so holy. i mean, he made love to every girl in every city in america and he had aids. and when he had those aids, i went to my synagogue and i prayed for him. i hoped he could live and be well. i didn't criticize him. i could have. is he an example

why lyndon johnson on broadway for bryan cranston? >> i think any actor looks at broadway as the pinnacle of their career. i had it on my bucket list to do a broadway show. that was going to be very exciting for me if that was possible. the zeitgeist of breaking bad created such a fervor that it got a lot of attention. i was caught up in that maelstrom of energy. i thought, i have an opportunity now. i knew after 14 years of doing television, seven with "malcolm in the middle," six with "breaking bad," it was time to step away. hide out, so to speak, in the theater. and to do a character i can sink my teeth into. >> how much did you know about lyndon johnson other than the fact he was president during vietnam? >> i think the interesting concept is that for most people, when they think of lyndon johnson, they think of the failures of vietnam. that is his legacy. here we are in the 50th anniversary of the first year of his presidency. the civil rights act -- >> which this play is about. >> which this play is about, from the first year o

two of them, is the johnson you want to talk about the johnson of the vietnam war or the johnson of medicare, medicaid, the war on poverty, the civil rights act? but you can't forget about the vietnam war. so is obama going to be the obama of the affordable care act leaving finally we hope to universal coverage, health coverage? or is he going to be the drone striker?

but magic johnson is irrelevant in this thing. he didn't do anything harmful to anybody, and i respected him and i admire everything that he does, you know? i'd like to help even more if he would offer me an opportunity to help. i like to help minorities. he loved me -- into waiting a week. >> he told you, not to say anything? >> don't do anything. i know the girl. don't do anything. i'll help you. i'm waiting. i'm waiting, and i'm waiting. >> you're saying magic johnson called you up? or you called him up? >> i don't know his phone number. >> he called you up? >> i don't call anybody. i'm loyal to you. >> he called you up when the tape came out, and he told you not to say anything? >> yes. >> why did he say, don't say anything? >> he just said, wait. be patient. i'll tell you. we'll work it out. >> why do you think he said that? >> i think he wanted me to just do nothing so he could buy the team. he thought maybe the whole thing would be resolved in two weeks. well -- what has he done? can you tell me? big magic johnson. what has

. >> big magic johnson. what has he done? >> he's a business person. >> he's got aids. >> hmm. that, plus this may not bode very well for flight 370, because some 500 years later, divers think they may have now found the long-lost remains of the santa maria, christopher columbus' flagship vessel. avo: wherever your journey takes you the expedia app helps you save with mobile-exclusive deals download the expedia app text expedia to 75309 expedia, find yours >>> welcome back. i'm brooke baldwin. donald sterling speaks, controversy erupts. sterling's interview with anderson cooper was supposed to be his chance to mea culpa, make things right. yes, he apologized, but he couldn't resist taking new shots at magic johnson. he may have made his own troubles with the nba and court of public opinion even worse. he had a lot of issues with magic johnson. he criticized him that first got him in trouble in the first place. during his sit-down, during this exclusive interview with anderson, sterling opened up a new line o

>> magic johnson is loved by so many. i've had an opportunity to interview him back in 2008 when he was campaigning for hillary clinton. he was a big draw, wherever he went, especially in the african-american community. a lot of people don't know that, that he was a political operative as well. very much involved in politics as well as social organizations. he has his own network, aspire, and i've had a chance to work with him on a series as well. >> and he's really worked hard for the minority community. >> many, many years. people recognize that. >> donald sterling doesn't know anything about it but i know a lot about that and he's been a great, great asset for the entire minority community, whether in l.a. or all over the country. suzanne, stand by. i want to bring in don lemon, a writer for espn. don, first of all, what are your reactions to these statements made about magic johnson, a true icon. how shocked were you? >> i was shocked that he in the first place would even utter a negative word about magic johnson. i a

big magic johnson, what has he done? >> he's a business person. >> he's got aids. >> donald sterling took aim at magic johnson, blasting him for contracting hiv and dismissing the charitable and business work the basketball star performed for years. >> what kind of girl has sex with every girl, then catches hiv. is that someone we want to respect and tell our kids about? i think he should be ashamed of himself. i think he should go into the background. what does he do for the black people? doesn't do anything. >> reporter: sterlings comments were met by a swift rebuke by the nba. commissioner adam silver issued an apology to magic johnson. >> i feel compelled to apologize to him that he continues to be dragged into this situation and attacked. it was a picture that prompted the racist rant that came to life last month. >> and why are you taking pictures with minorities? why? you can sleep with them, bring them in, whatever you want. the little i ask you is not to promote and not to bring them to my games. >> reporter: at

he also blasted magic johnson in the interview. he was the original target of sterling's racist remarks. >>> oscar pistorius has arrived at court for the 31st day of his trial and all eyes are turning toward the judge. >> she's expected to decide whether the olympian must undergo a psychiatric evaluation. this is an unusual move. the prosecution is demanding the defendant be independently evaluated. all of this unfolded after a witness revealed the track star suffered from an anxiety disorder. >> what makes mr. pistorius different from other defendants, from the normal person is that he has a physical vulnerability and a generalized anxiety disorder so his reaction to situations may be different. >> yeah, sorry. >> i'm not saying that this constitutes a mental illness. >> all right. let's go now to cnn legal analyst kelly phelps. she's outside the high court in pretoria there. kelly, how damning was the testimony of psychologist for the defense even though they called her as an expert witness? >> reporter: it's not necessarily damn

donald sterling lashes out at magic johnson as the l.a. clippers owner tries to explain the racist remarks that got him banned from the nba and instead he launches a tirade on why kids shouldn't look up to johnson. that's ahead. >>> the search intensifying for hundreds of nigerian girls kidnapped from their school by armed militants. u.s. investigators flying manned missions over the country, hoping to track down the terrorists. we're live with what's happening right now. >>> is ukraine on the brink of breaking into pieces? eastern ukraine, the provinces there have reportedly voted for independence. some want to join russia, but is that what the majority of the people really want? we're live on the ground with the very latest there. good morning. good to have you with us. welcome to "early start." i'm victor blackwell. >> and i'm deborah feyerick. it's 4:00 a.m. in the east. we begin with donald sterling and his shocking comments to anderson cooper. he is apologizing for his remarks but also is blasting nba legend magic johnson, the very p

magic johnson's done. he's raised more than $20 million for hiv awareness and community edge powerment and has awarded $4 million in scholarships. magic johnson enterprises buildings theaters enterprises and other businesses in chronically underserved areas. it never was supposed to be a tit-for-tat what have you done for me lately interview but it sure has turned out that way. >> it also shows you don't tell me what you've done, show me. so donald sterling can sit there and say everything he wants to say, but it doesn't actually make it true. one of the things i want to go back to that don was talking about is age is no excuse. particularly for donald sterling. who knows accomplished black athletes. acokoccomplished black business. who makes millions of dollars on a league that's 75% african-american. so if anybody were to be born with and raised in and have bigoted points views, if anyone would become evolved, if anyone would become a crusader, if anyone were to have a different point of view about racia

finally, greg johnson was off the list. how well do you remember that moment where the police came to see you and said, you're not a suspect anymore? >> i remember it very well. it was a relief. it was a good day for me. it really was. >> that left sandy's friend from work, cliff reid. detective jim allen decided if he could find physical evidence tying cliff reid to the death of sandy johnson. it turned out passage of time in the pace gave police new tools. >> forensics changed over the year, so there was the potential of testing a lot of things that couldn't have been able to be tested back then for dna specifically. >> they went back to where cliff reid lived in 1996. all these years later, and tore the place apart. they found what looked to them like a blood stain under the carpet. >> we took all the carpet from his room. >> they still had sandy's green wagon. that ripped that apart, too. >> we searched her car and collected more evidence and had that tested. >> this sort of analysis churned slowly. in 2006, detectives

you'll recall, it was a photo of johnson that johnson for having hiv around accuses him of not doing enough to help the black community. take a listen for yourself. >> here is a man who -- i don't know if i say this. he acts so holy. i mean, he made love to every girl in every city in america, and he had aids. and when he had those aids i went to my synagogue and i prayed for him. i hoped he could live and be well. i didn't criticize him. i could have. is he an example for children? because he has money he is able to treat himself. but magic johnson is irrelevant in this thing. what has he done? can you tell me? big magic johnson, what has he done? >> yes. he's a businessperson. >> he's got aids. did he

jimmie johnson is your leader. let's look at the pit comparison between harvick and gordon. >> this is what happened. 24 had another one of their great stops. the 4 a mediocre stop. when they came back out on the track the 24 was ahead of the 4. >> you can see kevin harvick was a little bit better than jeff gordon but you can see the difference right there in the crew and right now jeff gordon he's going to be in front of kevin harvick. >> by a good bit and pulling away. they came out pretty close together. right now jeff gordon is pulling away from kevin harvick. >> that graphic gave advantage to kevin harvick but jeff gordon pitted a left earlier than kevin harvick that gave him an advantage as far as fresh tires. >> so it's time for our sprint 20 to go, jimmie johnson is your race leader. he's the first of nine drivers that still need another pit stop. the first of the drivers who have completed their final service is jeff gordon. 24.9 seconds off the lead ahead of kevin harvick. kyle larson is the 2nd place car

seized upon by johnson. you can see the idea that to play the ball, he's behind redmond but the right pass by johnson. >> that's underhit. the line wasn't actually great. it's got to be a good ball to beat sagna, but sagna's no slouch. >> redmond was foul there had so norwich with a free kick. here's olson. redmond there, that seems to be a foul by lee mason. >> we've got a greasy surface, the ball is not really traveling. just a little bit short to a wait. it's not overly long. half an hour before kickoff, i should say, we saw the ball running so slowly. >> fabianski, up went giroud ux podolski. it's short for ramsey, then came mart martin. arsenal aiming for a fifth straight wind to end the campaign. their fourth win in a row in those four games. they scored ten goals, let in just one. those four wins in a row, everton, when their season looked to be unraveling they regrouped pretty well. >> yes, they're on their way to being at the top to get themselves back on track. >> there's an expectation at the stad

johnson that johnson for having hiv around accuses him of not doing enough to help the black community. take a listen for yourself. >> here is a man who -- i don't know if i say this. he acts so holy. i mean, he made love to every girl in every city in america, and he had aids. and when he had those aids i went to my synagogue and i prayed for him. i hoped he could live and be well. i didn't criticize him. i could have. is he an example for children? because he has money he is able to treat himself. but magic johnson is irrelevant in this thing. what has he done? can you tell me? big magic johnson, what has he done? >> yes. he's a businessperson. >> he's got aids. did he do any business -- i like -- did he help anybody in south l.a.? >> he has hiv, not actually full-blown aids. >> what kind of guy goes to every city and has sex with every girl and catches hiv? is that someone we want to respect and tell our kids about? i think he should be ashame of himself. i think he should go into the background. but what does he do for the black people? he doesn't do anything. you call up and say,

an attack on magic johnson. >> what has he done? >> he's a business person. >> he's got aids. >>> this video shows the girls abducted in nigeria last month, right? well, not according to some of the parents looking for their children. >>> plus, jay-z has 99 problems and it looks like his sister-in-law might be one. >>> hello, everyone. i'm john berman. >> i'm michaela pereira. those stories and more right now "@ this hour." >> so donald sterling had a chance to ask forgiveness when he talked to cnn. maybe at least attempt to salvage his reputation. he might have been trying to do that frankly it's hard to tell because the exact opposite has happened. >> trashing magic johnson is shocking to many people. it moved the nba commissioner to apologize on behalf of the league and promised to fast track sterling's removal. even shocked those in los angeles who say don't judge us by this guy. "l.a. can't afford to have a silly rabbit and daffy ducks on the loose making national headlines like this." here's more from that interview with ander

>>> attacked on national television, magic johnson is firing back at l.a. clippers owner, donald sterling. why he was dragged into the drama. what he knows about the woman accused of recording the raisist rants and how he was going help him save face. >>> a new twist in a mass kidnapping. girls shown on camera held captive by terrorists, not all taken from a school. some of those girls may have been abducted years ago. we are live in nigeria as the mystery unfolds. >>> tsa warning travelers of a dangerous virus threat. two cases confirmed in the u.s., more expected. where health care workers are on alert. that's coming up. >>> welcome to "early start." good to be with you. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm christine romans, it is 4:00 a.m. in the east. >>> this morning, he says he feels disrespected and waiting for an apology. magic johnson spoke out with anderson cooper about donald sterling. sterling went after johnson during his sit-down with anderson saying the legend is a bad example for children and hasn't done enough for the black community. johnson sayin

we should note that howard represents magic johnson's wife and knows magic johnson. if sterling would listen to you, and it's not clear that he listened to any pr officials, what would you have advised him to do before in this interview and now in the aftermath? >> i have a saying that serves me very well. silent is golden, duct tape is silver. shut up. okay? nobody wants to hear from you. it's not going to change the outcome. nobody is going to be sympathetic and with all due respect to my friend anderson cooper who got a great get, i would not have had him say anything. it can't do anything but what it did, which is exacerbate the situation. >> what if he called now and said, can you help me clean this up? >> yes. i would put out a statement and say, i apologize 2,000% for everything i said. i own it. i'm giving $10 million to build a youth center in south center los angeles. i will relinquish ownership of the clippers and thank you for your support through the years and you won't hear me again. people will applaud. >> are public apologies a good idea for people ca
