away with it. not a suspect, i get that. not even talk to police through an attorney. nobody watches to see his whereabouts and he's gone and nobody knows where he is. that seems odd to me and this isn't -- look. it's not about race. it's about something that people not of privilege, it doesn't seem like they have the opportunity to do that. i mean, you know, i figured if most people would be hauled in and say you got to talk and do whatever. you say it's about whoever has an attorney. if you have an attorney, fine. if you don't, then -- >> an attorney is an officer of the court and everybody hates attorneys until they need one and the system and law makes very clear, you can't be made to talk to the police and they may tell you that but that's what miranda warnings are about and that's under arrest. here are the realities and some are frustrating. >> hold on. before you go into that, most people don't know that, chris. you get hauled in and police tell you you have to talk. you think you have to talk to the police. it seems -- i think for me it's a learning experience because i thought they would have said look, you got to come in here and sit down and talk with your attorney present and maybe then -- >> they would never say that. >> not to even go in -- >> look, the police are almost always the good guys, all right? they are certainly in this situation. but look, here are the realities. unusual? sg absolutely. i've never covered a case like it. if someone is fighting, engagement is off. this is someone that matters to you and you have no part in looking for them. never seen it before. i seen people that are guilty take a role in looking for someone who they knew where they were but never this way. the family was instructed by their attorney not to speak. why? because while that while seem suspicious, okay, the standard here is different. we're used to cancel culture where if something feels wrong, you can crowd source a consequence. >> this is before that. this is not cancel culture. >> no, no, i'm saying there is nothing cancel culture about it but i'm saying it sounds like there is something wrong. we don't like the family. no. they have a lawyer that said to them, the police are trying to make a case. if they talk to you, they can use whatever you say against you and against brian even if you didn't mean it that way. don't do it. most defense attorneys would give that advice. >> yes. i don't disagree with that. but to have -- to be able to have an attorney and do that and you ask any person of color, you ask a black man who -- if they have that privilege -- >> it's not a privilege. it's a right. >> i know that. i know. but most people don't know that and they're not treated that way by law enforcement even if you think that you know, cops are the good guys, many times they are but many times they aren't with people of color and poor people that don't have the means to be able to stand behind a lawyer and not go to speak. do you think like someone who -- you know, a don lemon, if i wasn't who i am, they would be like hey, get your butt in here. what do you know about the disappearance of such and such? why won't you talk? do you need a lawyer because you're guilty? all of that would go down. >> yeah, they do that to black people, white people, a lot of people. >> i said this is about black people and poor people meaning because all people are poor, i mean not all people but there are people of all different ethnicities that are poor and don't have the proivilege to afford an attorney that will tell them they can't go in. you said until you're arrested, that's when you are assigned an attorney for free. >> if you want one. >> otherwise before then you have to show out some dough. >> you do. you don't need a lawyer, you just need to know your rights and obviously, you can't be be compelled, not to get too far away from the fact pattern here because the real problem here is that prosecutors are going to have to make a case. now, what you said initially, brian laundrie taking off, that is going to be consciousness of guilt to police. >> yeah. >> and it will be a huge portion of probable cause for them. you were the last person with her. you come back without her. you won't talk to us. and then you run. because that's all they know and the family told them no different because they say they don't know where he is. if they find brian laundrie, that could be enough to arrest him. >> if they find him alive because we know the possibilities of it. >> he may have sealed the ability to arrest him by what he has done. >> got it. let me say this, because we're back in the city. things are starting to reopen. i go around with my mask and sitting down and take a picture tonight. i was sitting down at a table and we'll talk about that. i'm actually sitting down at a table. people came over to say hello and i took a picture with then. here is the thing. i'm out and about in new york city and people are talking to me and i'm hearing about i think you and chris. you got me through the pandemic, which i appreciate. people talk to me about other news stories tonight and you know this, mostly white folks came up to me and said man, you guys sure are paying a lot of attention to this because if it was some other young lady, i don't think you would be paying this much attention to this and sit there and listen to them. i don't know the answer. i don't give them an answer because i want to hear what they have to say about it. you've heard that, as well, haven't you? >> i have. not from so many white people but i have heard online mostly, i know you told me not to go there but i can't help it -- >> to what? online. i don't do that. i don't look at comments. >> they say you're only covering this because she's white -- >> a cute white girl. >> and attractive and what about the minorities that go missing? listen, to me it matters gabby petito is missing and her family and as a matter of law and it matters to anyone who is a parent or is that age, i mean, it just speaks to a huge fear that we all have of vulnerability. it should not be an or proposition. it should be an and proposition. you cover gabby petito and cover any other story that presents itself this way. remember, it's not just about her. it's about kids going out at that age and doing something that is so popular now and putting themselves on social media and trying to build a brand and being away from home and then it becomes mysterious. >> it's also a mysterious story that's intriguing and people want to hear about it and people are interested in it. i agree with you. i know, you go on social media. i don't like to do it. don lemon is turning this into a race thing. no, chris and i talk about the real stuff that people do. people are talking to me about this as it relates to race. they've spoken to chris about it. you see it online. don't pretend i'm turning this into something it's not. this is what people are talking about and this is what chris and i are talking about and that's why we get it straight and it's real here and you're going to hear the real deal from these two guys. that's why they call it the handoff because there is nothing better on television or a podcast. there you go. i love you. >> if you say so yourself. i love you d. lemon. make your witness. >> i am right now. we'll talk about this and more including the breaking news chris gave us. this is "don lemon tonight." president biden ahead of his first speech since taking office. the president that ran on bipartisanship now faces what you'd have to call open war fair between members of his own party. and it threatens to derail his agenda. so-called moderates and progressives battling over signature infrastructure bill and alexandria ocasio-cortez says she's a no on the bipartisan bill that passed the senate if the larger democrat only bill hasn't passed by next week. joe mansion digging in heels calling on democrats to slow their role on a bill he thinks has too high a price tag. >> september 27th is coming up next week. is it possible this bill could pass by then? >> i said this before. i think you know what i feel on that. whatever you do, get it right. if there is not enough clarity, then you need to get clarity. >> you want to delay to next year, right? >> no, you know what i said. i said let's wait and see whatever you need. i'll have a good idea. >> open warfare, right? ayanna pressley was blunt last week when she told me who she thinks the real obstructionests are in this. >> when it comes to mansion and cinema, let the record reflect who the real obstructionests are. progressives are often maligned and vilified for, you know, sitting at the -- for our advancing, seeking to advance both progressive policies which are the people's policies, which are in fact the president's agenda. >> and then there is of course this battle against covid. pfizer announcing the news parents across the country have been waiting for, saying its vaccine is safe and again rated what they're calling a robust antibody response in children ages 5 to 11. the news couldn't come at a better time with kids back in school and the cases on the rise all across this country. the american academy of pediatrics says there were nearly 226,000 new cases among kids over the past week. the second highest total during the pandemic. a tent has gone up, look at this, outside of children's hospital of pittsburgh where the number of children coming to the emergency department is being called historic. now parents are couplinge coupl counting the days their children can get vaccinated, maybe by halloween but seeing so many dying every day. more than 675,000 people have died of covid more than the 1918 flu pandemic. we have two weapons, vaccines and masks. vaccines and masks. so it's no time for leaders who should know better who do know better to be all, you know, do as i say, not as i do. san francisco mayor london breed scolding the fun police, okay? that's after she was caught on camera dancing and singing along at a black cat nightclub, no mask and without a drink or food in sight. the city's indoor mask mandate says masks can be taken off quote while actively eating or drinking. but the mayor is defending herself. >> no, i'm not going to sip and put my mask on. sip and put my mask on, sip and put my mask on, eat and put my mask on. while i'm eating and drinking, i'm going to keep my mask off. >> okay. well, as the pandemic of the unvaccinated rages, a grieving son and daughter lose their 45-year-old vaccine hesitant dad to covid and tell cnn they blame misinformation from tucker carlson. >> you said from one media source in particular he was getting misinformation -- or getting information that led him to be hesitant on vaccines. who? who was he listening to? >> he watched some tucker carlson videos on youtube and some of those videos involved some misinformation about vaccines and i believe that that played a role. >> there you go. misinformation that leads people to question the vaccine. >> in your medicine, tell us the full truth but they won't. they have been telling us for six months that this vaccine is perfect but clearly, in some cases it doesn't always work. >> misinformation that makes people think vaccination is an assault on their freedom instead of the life saving medical miracle it really is. >> it makes you think once you think about it that maybe none of this is really about covid. maybe it's about social control. >> he should know better. he should know better. this is about public health, about saving the lives of millions of people. we have all the vaccine that we could ever need. people around the world would give anything to have the v vaccines far too many america caps are turning down in the name of an illusion of freedom, an illusion of freedom, an illusion pushed by people who should know better who actually do know better and most of them fully vaccinated, their companies and work have vaccine mandates but they won't tell you that. remember what some americans said about the seat belt mandates back to the 1980s. >> i'll have to detour the town to get to kalamazoo. why use a seat belt? i would wear my seat belt to get caught, i get caught i guess. >> florida highway patrol lieutenant chris miller hears it all when it comes to seat belts. >> i hear it uncomfortable. it wrinkles my clothes. it's not cool. >> there is no freedom no more. you don't want to wear it, that's your choice. >> sound familiar? listen, i know we're -- i want you to play that. i want you guys, play it again, please. i want you guys when they're talking about that, i want you guys to think about vaccines and masks and they're like it's uncomfortable. it shouldn't be a mandate, it's my freedom. think about the vaccine. just listen to it and then super impose, if you will, over that masks or vaccines what they're talking about. let's play it all again. >> i'll have to detour the down to get to kalamazoo if they pass a seat belt law. i don't use a seat belt. >> i won't wear my seat belt. if i get caught, i get caught. >> highway patrol chris miller hears it all when seat belts. >> i hear it's uncomfortable. it wrinkles my clothes. it's not cool. >> there is no freedom no more. you don't want to wear it, that's your choice. >> now people basically, when you get in a car especially in the front seat you almost have to put your seat belt on. some cars go over you automatically. others, no one talks about that anymore. people just, guess what? they wear their seat belts. it's the law. no freedom, no choice. they said it about seat belts. now they're saying it about vaccines and masks and we have major news to tell you about. developments in the case of ga gabby pepetito. okay? chris gave you earlier about what the family is saying, the fbi search is happening at the family home. it happened today of her fiancee brian laundrie for hours, just one day after investigators across the country found what they believe to be her remains. but there is still no sign of laundrie who came back to florida in month and refused to talk to invest gators and went missing last week. i want you to listen to this. this is a chilling 911 call. the caller reporting what he calls a domestic dispute between petito and laundrie last month. >> we drove by and the gentlemen was stopping the girl. >> he was slapping her? >> he proceeded to hit her, hopped in the car and they drove off. >> utah police described the couple as having an alter kalgs. . >> fighting this morning. some personal issues. >> and there is also tonight news tonight on an external hard drive found in dgabby petito's van. it may contain digital forensic data. we have a lot more to come on all of this so make sure you stay tiuned. there are so many questions in this case. what was the fbi looking for at the laundrie family's home and what mielght his parents said. we'll dig into everything we know. plus, pfizer saying its vaccine is safe for kids from 5 to 11 and generates a quote robust anti body response. what is next? how soon can we get shots in the arms of america's children? (vo) how do you know when you've found your team? whether you're winning, or just doing your best. when you're on the lanes, they're right behind you. reunite with your team. go bowling. you need an ecolab scientific clean here. and you need it here. and here. and here. which is why the scientific expertise that helps operating rooms stay clean is now helping the places you go every day too. seek a commitment to clean. look for the ecolab science certified seal. the news so many parents have been waiting for, pfizer declaring a lower dose of the vaccine is safe and effective for children ages 5 to 11. covid cases among kids have been spiking at children's hospital in pittsburgh had to put up a tent outside the emergency room to care for more patients. look at that. the number of children coming to the emergency department is historic. that's why approving a vaccine for kids is so important. joining me is dr. james. so happy to have you. you can give us information. good evening. let me tell you why. when you look at these images of the tent being set up outside of children's hospital, it explains why many parents have been waiting for this vaccine for children so urgently. one reason is you're part of the approval process, okay? so explain what happens next, please, doctor? >> thank you, don. happy to be with you. so what is going to happen now is pfizer will put together their package of data related to the trial in children. that's going to be sent to the fda. the fda undergoes an internal process of review of those data and then they convene the advisory panel that i'm a part of to have an indepen d pendentw of the data and make recommendations whether or not the vaccine should be approved for children. and that will take a matter of weeks. it is conceivable by halloween, we could see shots going into arms, but it's going to take a number of weeks for that process to work its way through. >> okay. so the trial used, as i understand, correct me if i'm wrong a 10 micro gram dose lower than the 31 that is used for people 12 and older. >> yes. >> are you confident the smaller dose is enough protection? >> the data certainly seems to suggest that. we want to use the lowest dose possible in chirp because chirp are not small adults and we want to be mindful of safety concerns. with children, we want to use the minimum dose that's necessary to induce a response. we saw with 10 micro grams in this age group, the antibody response is equivalent to 16 to 25-year-olds. i think the 10 micro gram dose worked fine. >> you said children aren't small adults. look, i have a knnephew, great nephew that i love. he's a big dude. he's going into ninth grade. he's taller than me playing varsity football. so it's not about the size of the individual, is that what you're saying? >> it can be a matter of size of the individual but one thing i'd like to point out to people is that the systems in children, all of their systems are being developed and so if they get covid-19 -- >> got it -- >> and more importantly, if they get long covid, we don't know what effect that will have on them long term. it's important we keep them from getting covid and make sure we don't do harm by giving them a dose of a vaccine or drug that would do harm. >> that's too much. >> it is possible for your nephew who is larger than the average child might be, that he might require a larger dose than typical children of his age, but again, the whole point is to make sure we use the least amount of the vaccine necessary to enlist a response in these children. >> okay. look. just two quick things real quick. if you have a kid who is 11 about to turn 12, what do you do with that? do you decide they get the lower dose or what happens or the higher dose? >> i think if the child is about to turn 12, more than likely they will be given the dose for that age group. >> okay. what about under 5? when can we look for that, 5 and under? >> the data released today for the 5-year-olds to 11-year-olds was part of a larger study that includes children 6 months old to 11 years old. that other data set will be following shortly in a matter of a few weeks. >> thank you, doctor. appreciate your time. thank you so much? thank you. >> yeah. evidence of quote more and more tension between gabby petito and her fiancee, her mother reveals her last text message. stay with us. you need an ecolab scientific clean here. and you need it here. and here. and here. which is why the scientific expertise that helps operating rooms stay clean is now helping the places you go every day too. seek a commitment to clean. look for the ecolab science certified seal. at heinz, every ketchup starts with our same tomatoes. but not every tomato ends in the same kind of heinz ketchup. because a bit of magic unfolds when there's a ketchup for everyone. today let's paint with new behr dynasty™... so that you can be proud of your walls. go ahead, throw your wine on it. what?

>> well, the pig big thing is through the disclosure of the search warrant affidavit signed on september 15th, it kind of sheds a little light into we now know for sure brian laundrie entered back into north port, florida on september 1th at precisely 10:26 a.m. from september 1st up until september 11th his whereabouts were unknown. i think there is a concern with respect to what vehicles he may have been utilizing with respect to his coming and goings from the family home. i think as we saw the mustang, the ford mustang being towed and searched, i think there is some concern and there may be some evidencery value within that car, maybe the gps. it may be articles of clothing, things like that inside the house of course, we're looking for a potential dna evidence, fiber evidence, and of course, maybe most importantly, any evidence with respect to something that would leave a digital footprint, hard drives, ipads, smart phones, things of that like. >> look, you covered these. i shouldn't say you covered it, you've investigated these and been part of it. what do you think happened here? >> i think you have two young people that obviously, it seems that maybe won or both of then had some issues and i think they were carefree. they took a long trip. when you look at just the accommodations -- >> i mean, what do you think happened here? people want to know what happened to her and why is he missing? >> i think obviously, the behavior that was displayed and witnessed with respect to him slapping her or showing some aggr aggression, obviously, at some point that reoccurred and may have escalated to where strangulation or some sort of blunt trama and then a panic and then of course, now we have this young girl who was left to the elements and he took off and went home and of course, it is just a matter of time to piece the pieces of the puzzle pack together. >> yeah, we don't know. listen, he's missing. not charged. we don't know. you've covered these cases and you know. are you involved in these cases investigative so you know what happens. let me read something about the last communications that her mother received from gabby's phone that was found in her hard drive and it was a text and says can you help stan? i keep getting his voice mails and missed calls. this refers to petito's grandfather as stan. her mom said this is odd. does it raise anything for you? other information may be on the hard drive? >> of course. from an investigator's propekt s tive we're satisfied this was sent from someone else and not gabby petito. we form habits and communicate in one manner with particular people. it's odd to refer to your grandfather by his first name. that was a red flag. perhaps not at the time by when you put the pieces of the puzzle back together, it obviously is indicative of that gabby at that point may have been killed obvid if brian was in possession of her phone, he sent this text message to the mother and common sense would dictate it is possible now and we have the video just discovered contemporaneously or in proximity to where her body was found. it places the van there on april 27th so i think, you know, when you add it up, it seems more likely than not that he sent that text message. >> well, here is the thing about that that i think people are missing. if indeed -- look, they're going to be able to figure out the time of death, right? when she died. if those text messages were sent after the time of death, who else would know to call her grandfather stewart? you see what i'm saying? they're going to -- >> no question about it -- >> dan, excuse me. who else -- >> stan. >> who else is going to know that, to call him by name or details from the text messages, so, you know, that's where i'm going with this. that's what i want to know. >> you touched upon exactly what you need to know. obviously by tomorrow with the autopsy we'll get the cause of death. it's going to be ruled a homicide and just as important to zero in on the time of death with respect to if in fact it is on or before august 27th, i think we have a pretty good case against brian laundrie. >> thank you. the reason i said stewart is because you're stewart. >> i am. >> thank you very much. >> always a pleasure, don. >> appreciate you joining us. see you next time. >> my pleasure. haitian migrants trying to cross the u.s., mexico border only to be chased and corralled by border agents. look at that. more after this.

[ laughter ] >> those whispers. you listen to those whit spers? you listen -- >> i'm just saying. >> i've come to the place where i'll do anything to help our democracy. we're in a moment especially in the aftermath of january 6th. i came to the conclusion this system is beyond broken and needs to be fixed and i'm going to do whatever i can to do that and my view is that until the republicans who have participated in this and especially in texas and all the things they've done, until they're beaten soundly, this is going to continue to go on. in whatever way, i'll say this, in whatever way i can serve and this can be from registering voters in my county here to volunteering on whatever campaign to possibly running, you know, time will tell but i'll do whatever i can to make sure that these republicans are held accountable. >> okay. thank you, matthew dowd. that was a whisper. thank you, matthew. appreciate that. see you soon. appreciate it. >> take care. >> thank you. i got something close to my heart that i want to share next, okay, so check this out. that's me in the pool and when i tell you why, you're going to smile. this story is next. today let's paint with new behr dynasty™... so that you can be proud of your walls. go ahead, throw your wine on it. what? it's also scuff resistant. you're paying for that! introducing behr dynasty™, the best of behr. exclusively at the home depot. ♪ thousands of women with metastatic breast cancer are living in the moment and taking ibrance. ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor is for postmenopausal women or for men with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole significantly delayed disease progression versus letrozole. ibrance may cause low white blood cell counts that may lead to serious infections. ibrance may cause severe inflammation of the lungs. both of these can lead to death. tell your doctor if you have new or worsening chest pain, cough, or trouble breathing. before taking ibrance, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection, liver or kidney problems, are or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. for more information about side effects talk to your doctor. ♪ be in your moment. ask your doctor about ibrance. you need an ecolab scientific clean here. and you need it here. and here. and here. which is why the scientific expertise that helps operating rooms stay clean is now helping the places you go every day too. seek a commitment to clean. look for the ecolab science certified seal. age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss, so the national eye institute did 20 years of clinical studies on a formula found in preservision. if it were my vision, i'd ask my doctor about preservision. it's the most studied eye vitamin brand. if it were my vision, i'd look into preservision preservision areds 2 contains the exact nutrient formula recommended by the nei to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression. i have amd, it is my vision, so my plan includes preservision. i want you to check this out. please check this out. we are spotlighting people who might not make the headlines but do smash barriers and lift humanity up. it is a special series. it's called "champions for change" that we are doing all week long. i had a chance to hit the pool with the coach and there's no doubt this will make you smile. check them out, making waves for the young and old. ♪ >> you're going to help me teach them? >> of course i will. >> the coach inspires me to get back in touch with what i love, which is swimming and teaching people how to swim. water is my happy place. if i didn't have it, i would probably not be very healthy mentally and emotionally. ♪ >> tell me about harlem honeys and bears. >> this is a synchronized swim team. >> for seniors? >> for seniors in 1975 there were only women on the team. and they said they would call themselves honeys. but then after a few years the men decided they wanted to join the team and they decided they wanted to be the bears. so now we got the honey and bears.
