Ex-NBA Star Found Unresponsive At Nevada Brothel.
TAPPER: We got some new technology to tell you about in the Money Lead today. In a new model car on the road that can apparently drive itself. Starting today Tesla owners can download an autopilot software upgrade. This lets the Model S travel without a driver touching the gas, the brake or even the steering wheel. Ultrasonic sensors can see 16 feet around the car supposed to keep it from bumping into other traffic. Although this technology may look tempting, Tesla Motors CEO, Elon Musk, says this autopilot car is still in an early testing stage. He encourages drivers to keep both hands on the wheel for now. Yes, I encourage you to do that as well. The Pop Lead, the Kardashian family is waiting for answers in a Las Vegas hospital hoping two-time NBA champion, Lamar Odom, pulls through. It's been two days since he was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel. Employees who called 911 say Odom had cocaine in his system. It took more than three hours after that call to get him from the site in the Nevada desert to a hospital. CNN's Paul Vercammen joins me now live at that hospital. Paul, Odom and Khloe Kardashian are in the midst of a divorce I am told, but they are still technically married, and because of that apparently, she can determine what happens next.</s>PAUL VERCAMMEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: That is exactly right, Jake. In fact, Khloe would have any final important medical decisions right now. She has gone out through representatives saying she does not want the owner of this brothel talking anymore. But he dropped a bombshell on Nancy Grace just a short time ago saying basically Lamar Odom gave him a credit card and spent $75,000 for two girls, all of this in that ill-fated trip to Nye County.</s>UNIDENTIFIED CALLER: OK, they just add this to it. They just told me -- somebody just came up to me and said he apparently had some cocaine on him that he finished -- he did this on Saturday.</s>VERCAMMEN (voice-over): That call came from the Love Ranch, a brothel in unincorporated Crystal, Nevada. But one of Lamar Odom's wild world led this two-time NBA champion, reality star, Khloe Kardashian's estranged husband to this remote place? Love Ranch employee, T.J. Moore says she picked up Odom in Las Vegas, drove him out to Crystal and got a sense he wanted to completely escape.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He did not indicate what he was getting away from, but he was very adamant about no phone calls, don't acknowledge that he was here. He just wanted some rest and relaxation.</s>VERCAMMEN: Apparently Odom's escape plan included popping pills, sexual performance enhancing drugs. Love Ranch owner, Dennis Hoff, is a reality TV star of sorts too from HBO's Cat House.</s>DENNIS HOF, OWNER, THE LOVE RANCH: The girl said he had taken eight or ten of them. I don't know whether that means in a short period of time or since Saturday when he got there. You know, one of the speculations is he had been doing coke before he got there.</s>VERCAMMEN: And so the sheriff got a search warrant and obtained Odom's blood to determine what if any drugs were in his system. Friends, relatives, teammates, all describe Odom as a 6'10" gentle giant, easy going but perhaps uneasy about reality TV. His grandmother told CNN, being on the show in the spotlight could have gotten to him.</s>VERCAMMEN: And back here live at the hospital, last word is Lamar Odom still on life support. Back to you now, Jake.</s>TAPPER: All right. Paul Vercammen, thank you so much. Don't forget to tune in tomorrow at 4 p.m. Eastern for my interview with the Democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton. That's it for THE LEAD. I'm Jake Tapper. I turn you over to one Mr. Wolf Blitzer who is in "THE SITUATION ROOM." Thanks for watching.
