that's it for us tonight. "don lemon tonight" with the upgrade for friday night laura coats right now. >> how sweet of you. nice to talk to you and see you. we have so much. crazy week, chris. absolutely crazy. >> so i hear. you know what? the good news is that the momentum of petito has allowed us to put light -- because we're not america's most wanted. we don't do a lot of missing persons work because that story has intrigue, but it's not the only one. but it has allowed us to right a lot of wrong to deal with people of color whose story don't get covered the same way and hopefully we get the same results. >> absolutely. if we know people care and are looking and wanting to understand the value of human life, it will deter crime as well. it's something we have to think about. if someone knows that person is missing and loved and wanted home, hopefully we can stop it from even happening in the first place. >> always a pleasure. have a good weekend. i look forward to the show. >> thank you. and this is don lemon tonight. i'm laura coates in for don lemon. and what we learned this week is more proof as if anybody needed more proof that our democracy is at risk. there's the arizona fraudt, the one run by the so-called cyber ninjas and the audit confirmed what we already knew, by the way, joe biden won maricopa county, he got 99 more votes than the county reported in november. even though the former president and his cronies lost the battle in arizona they are winning the misinformation war by keeping the questions out there and pushing for more investigations of the big lie of bogus voter fraud. the latest in texas, a state he won, by the way, and also in pennsylvania. all this as the january 6th committee has already issued its first subpoenas to chop trump aides and mark meadows, dan scuveto, steve bannon and cash patel. >> criminal contempt is on the table. we've discussed it. if it comes to that there'll be no reluctance at all on the committee to do it. >> the white house also said this week it will release information to the committee about what trump and his aides were doing on that day. and then there's the revelation, the one in bob woodward and robert costa's new book, peril, that john eastman, a lawyer then working for the president then president's legal team wrote a scheme how mike pence could dismiss the election results and hand trump the presidency. so welcome to ground-hog day because apparently former president trump felt so overshadowed by real news and wants to give us all at least six more weeks of the big lie. here is the truth again. president biden won the popular vote. president biden won 306 electoral college votes. you only need 270 to win. it was a fair and free election. democracy guarantees a fair process. it doesn't guarantee you'll get the result you want. sometimes your candidate will win. sometimes your candidate will lose. themes the breaks. and yet the former president refuses to give us all a break on the premotion of the big lie. now, it's tempting to ignore it and believe me, we could if the lie was only relegated to say dark corners but it is manifested in an attack on the citadel of our democracy. it has proliferated. it's been codified. in fact, several republican led states including texas now have voting restrictions in place that were premised in part on the big lie. several states including ones that trump won are moving forward with more fraud-its. the big lie continues to influence the political landscape more than a year after the 2020 election buying into the lie at least publicly seems to now be a prerequisite for republican candidacy and we're just beginning to see how much the big lie was actually part of a big plot. just as we learned that a conservative lawyer working with then president trump's legal team actually had the audacity to outline a six-point plot for a sitting vice president to ignore a democratic result and simply gavel in a president. an orchestrated plot to force congress to prove the negative that biden didn't lose all the while making state election officials prove that your vote wasn't fraudulent. a number of contingency plans, attack the voting process. attack the counting of the votes. attack the electoral college and just gavel in a president if all else fails. it would all be laughable if the stakes weren't so high and if we hadn't seen the way movies like this can end. when a man feels entitled to power simply because he wants it and uses fear-based propaganda to sow disbelief in the government he wants to run. when he convinces you that the result is only fair when he wins. it makes you distrustful of your neighbors and questions their right to even be counted. thems aren't the breaks. that's how democracy breaks. and that's the truth. joining me now cnn legal analyst preet bu rara and ron brownstein. happy to have both of you here. preet, i mean, look, this arizona audit it blew up in trump's face. but despite all the failed recounts and i mean all the failed recounts he's still pushing the big lie. tell me what is the point of the p propaganda? is it just to keep sewing doubt in our elections? >> yeah, absolutely. they're setting the stage to be able to themselves and to inspire other people who support them to basically take the position if we win, we win. if we lose, we also must have won. and so part of this i think further your point i think you're exactly right in the opening that it's setting the stage for a story telling kind of propaganda scheme so that no matter what happens you lose an election, we didn't really lose. you do an audit, the audit comes up empty even though they're sponsored by your folks and people who wanted you to win, that's not >> and the kind of deepening in the republican base as you said if we win, it's legit. if we lose it's inherently fraud. i don't think donald trump is winning the argument about there being that the election was won with fraud. he is essentially convincing the people who want to be convinced among the poor republican voters who are the most uneasy about the way the country is changing demographically who believe by definition they are the real americans and anytime the other side wins it's illegitimate because those voters are not, quote, real americans. and really the kind of paradox of all of this is that the one opportunity democrats have to push back against this multifaceted kind of pincer that is developing against american democracy is their ability to pass a floor of new federal voting rights, preces for election workers, rules for the county. and at the moment joe manchin and ironically kyrsten sinema from arizona are preventing them from doing that. >> as ron was talking about there's a moment of time when all these so-called coincidences become coordination. i want to get your take on the january 6th select committee issuing subpoenas for four key members of trump's inner circle. you've got chairman thompson says if they don't cooperate criminal contempt is on the table. and we know the white house is saying president biden does not expect to assert executive privilege to try to shield these trump era records from the committee. so what does all this mean for an investigation? are they going to be able to compel these guys to actually talk and tell us what actually led up to truthfully january 6th? >> that remains to be seen. the people who have been subpoenaed are folks who have the ability to say i'm not coming. there are various methods of enforcement. you go to court there will be assertions of executive privilege as you just mentioned that former president trump has already said he's going to assert that. it doesn't fly as you know because the right to assert executive privilege is held by the office of the presidency and whoever the current occupant of that office is. in this case it's joe biden, not former president trump as much as he wishes that were so. it's also true that one of the four people was not even an employee of the government, with whom there couldn't be an executive assertion that steve bannon.. my guess is you'll see a lot of back and forth, criminal contempt we've really not seen that. it's a difficult thing to pull off. where an executive branch doj official decides to bring a criminal case for someone who is or was in the executive branch, it's possible. we'll see what happens. but i think the select committee is on the right track, narrowly focused on issuing subpoenas to four men who are intimately involved with what unfolded on the day of january 6th, communications, logistics, talking to various people know what was in the former president's mind, donald trump's mind which is incredibly important to understanding how responsible donald trump was. so there will be some legal wrangling but at the end of the day whether they're vindicated quickly or not the right side is on the side of the committee. >> we know, gentlemen, of course it could be a very protracted time to actually understand whether they'll actually testify or not. however, there's one roadblock removed and that's at this point not willing to assertthality privilege. we always say what we saw on january 6th was not the beginning of it story. thanks, gentlemen. i want to bring in arizona's former attorney general, grant woods there. the audit in your state as you know is confirming today what we frankly already knew that president biden in fact won arizona, which is five months, by the way, and over $6 million later. so what did they actually accomplish these cyber ninjas to have essentially a fait accompli here? >> well, laura, you made a good reference to ground-hog day and today is bill murray's birthday, so happy birthday to bill murray. >> happy birthday, bill murray. >> right, because he walks up in phoenix and says joe biden already won. in trump world it is filled with grifters and it starts at the top and then it goes down from there. and you've got some grifters here who this is what they do. as you said i think it's 6.7 million they milked out of arizona, and they're just trying to do that in other states. these are just -- you probably prosecuted these people. i did. they just go onto the next one and the next one until someone finally stops them. and then you've got the dummies out there who just buy this stuff. today they were out at the capitol chanting stop the steal. you know, the same thing they were saying the day after the election, and i think that's because they memorized that and they don't want to have to start all over memorizing a new chant. they've got that one down. still doing the same old chant, same old signs, stop the steal. there's no dealing with them. and then you've got the people in the pemiddle and they have e actually accomplished what they wanted. and that is they understand if they can't rig the system here by suppressing the vote in 22 and 24, there is no hope for the republican party i believe in the long-term here and probably in the short-term. so how do you do that? well, you're going to have to just make up lies, tell lies that will rationalize why you need to come up with these voter suppression laws. and then you do it, and then you do better in 2022 than you would have otherwise if everybody had an equal chance to vote. and then maybe you can start winning and take over again. it's all about politics. it's all about power -- >> and grant, it does -- >> it's abou t authoritarians. >> it seems as you're talking about the idea of going state to state with these different audits, trying to essentially move the clown car and make sure it's on wheels. and after all the crazy conspiracies about bamboo ballots from china and ballots burned on a chicken farm -- true, ballots burned on chicken was actually a statement made. what is your message to the next state that gets entangled in this kind of mess? >> well, just to realize what's going on. why in the world would they be going to florida and going to texas given that trump won there if they actually thought something went wrong and like they were saying in arizona biden really didn't win? they're going to those states because they need to suppress the vote in florida, and they need to suppress the vote in texas. they know that. and that's why they've gone to pennsylvania and wisconsin and michigan. that's their goal here. it is no more complicated than that. the problem is -- and laura as you know, anyone who's a student of history and world history, this is what the russians have been trying to do and our enemies have been trying to do forever, to have us fall from the inside. have our own people doubt our democratic institutions. and that's what's at stake. and i agree with ron brownstein, he's right on. i don't think we've had a threat to our democracy this severe in a long, long time. so the answer is people in texas have got to fight back. people in florida have got to fight back. you've got great attorneys general in pennsylvania, in wisconsin, in michigan, in a lot of these key states. they'll fight the battle. and if you don't have those great attorneys general, which you don't in some other states, then the people are going to have to just realize what's going on and don't sit back and say, well, we won last time, we'll probably win next time. because there's some insidious stuff going on here. we stopped them here in arizona for now, but we're not going to give up there and not going to let them win. and ultimately i think we can prevail. >> fighting through the ballot and fighting through democracy not against it. grant, thank you so much for your time. i appreciate it. >> thanks, laura. it's good to see you. >> me, too. a dramatic moment today on the view. why they left the set just before an interview with vice president kamala harris. there's more to the story than you may think. >> i need the two of you to step off for a second. >> okay. >> and we're going to bring you back later. >> and we'll tell you why. >> more information later. it's a tease. with extra hot sauce. tonight... i'll be eating salmon sushi with a japanese jiggly cheesecake. jolly good fire nas... yeah?

>> yes. >> okay. so vice president -- >> no. >> shall we dance? let's do a tap dance. [ laughter ] >> what happened is that sunny and ana both apparently tested positive for covid no matter how hard we try of these things happening, they probably have a breakthrough case and they'll be okay, i'm sure, because they're both vaccinated. >> now vp harris did the interview from another room after the positive test and did not come into contact with sunny or ana during the show. sources say later in the day both of them tested negative on two different types of covid tests. ana describing the experience to anderson cooper earlier tonight. >> we had just been told in our ears and we're like what did you just say? did i just hear you right? and this is in the middle of live tv. and as you know, anderson, the show must go on. >> and indeed it did. joining me now to discuss cnn medical analyst dr. jonathan rhiner, the professor at george washington university hospital. dr. rhiner, wow, let's just start how this was handled at the view. they've clearly got a protocol, right, and the vice president didn't interact with them beforehand, but this really shows you how important testing is. it was really a near miss. >> right. i'm not sure what to make of this because i think we might even learn more about this tomorrow. this is really unusual for two reasons. first of all these antigen tests are pretty specific. and although they can miss a positive test in somebody with low levels of antigens, someone who's maybe presymptomatic or asymptomatic, in people who are contagious or when someone tests positive, usually that test is pretty reliable. secondly, it would really be unusual to have two false positive tests simultaneously in the same place on two different people. so there's something very odd about this story. but i do think, you know, overall the bigger story is i think businesses around the united states do not utilize testing nearly enough. and our schools do not utilize testing nearly enough. there's an opportunity, for instance, to keep schools open if we were to test our kids going to school once or twice a week. we would limit the number of kids who test positive in class, and we would reduce the number of students who would subsequently need to be quarantined. so there are a lot of pieces to this story. it's very interesting. i think we'll probably hear more about this over the weekend. >> when you're saying that about it strikes you as odd, i'm reminded back earlier in the pandemic when there were discussions about the efficacy and utility of actually testing. and are you suggesting perhaps it's going to lessen the confidence in testing if you have these false positives or we need to wait and see more about what this truly means before people change their minds about the appropriateness and the need for testing? >> no, i think this -- this one instance is a curiosity. i think we've gotten testing wrong over and over again in the united states since the beginning of this pandemic. you know, we were very slow to ramp up testing in the united states, embarrassingly slow. we finally got to a reasonable amount of tests towards the sort of middle of the winter and then it steadily dropped off. and now we're doing a fraction of the number of tests that we did at the height of the pandemic last year. and we've grossly underutilized these rapid antigen tests which offer the promise to, you know, let people do a quick diagnostic test at home before they go to work or before they go to school. we should have the ability to basically send these tests out to every home. imagine if you had several of these in your house and could test your kids once or twice a week or you take a test before you went to work. and there are some businesses that are doing this. and i think going forward this is going to be part of our strategy as we learn to live with covid maybe at lower levels in the united states but that we incorporate rapid testing into what we do. >> dr. rhiner, so thoughtful. the idea of having to learn and use the past occurrences to actually guide us, that's part of an effective comprehensive strategy, actually being able to learn from what we have here. thank you for your time. nice hearing from you. >> my pleasure. thanks for having me. >> we'll follow that curiosity we talked about. a federal arrest warrant is now out for gabby petito's fiance. so where is brian laundrie? that's next. in 2016, i was working at the amazon warehouse when my brother passed away. and a couple of years later, my mother passed away. after taking care of them, i knew that i really wanted to become a nurse. amazon helped me with training and tuition. today, i'm a medical assistant and i'm studying to become a registered nurse. in filipino: you'll always be in my heart. isn't it disappointing when your plug-in fades?

what do you think? >> listen, i think this is the legislative process and we haven't seen what's going on beneath the surface, but there are multiple conversations going on at all levels here. and i do think that most democrats understand that to walk away with nothing would be a catastrophic defeat for -- not just for the president but for members of congress who are running for re-election in 2022. so but i think they've all learned another lesson which is when you have a 50-50 senate and an almost 50-50 house every single member has leverage. and they're all trying to use their leverage to promote their priorities. and, you know, it's a little bit of a game of chicken. and at some point and that point is coming very quickly maybe as early as next week, everyone's going to have to turn over their cards. >> you mentioned the idea of this game of chicken but you see pretty clearly the house majority leader steny hoyer told cnn he's bringing the infrastructure bill to the floor on monday but you know the progressives have said they're not going to support it without the massive infrastructure bill. so is there -- realistically knowing that is there any way this monday vote happens if even at all next week? >> look, i think they're required -- it was included in the rule that they passed a few weeks ago in order to move all of this forward procedurally, i think they have to. but, you know, laura, the one thing i've learned in my years in washington is there are always ways. you know, if there's a will, there's a way. and if they're talking and if there is a fundamental commitment to make sure that they don't go over the cliff here and come away with nothing, i think that they will find a way. >> well, you know, it's easier to find a way if you've got this as a singular focus. look at this week. we've got the rollout for booster shots, messy at best. you've got the pictures we've seen at the border, the horrific pictures, by the way. the crunch to get the approval passed, and how does the president turn things around sphcan he? >> you forgot the debt ceiling situation. >> i didn't want to add insult to injury but there you go. >> this has been a rough seven weeks for the president. he had a great spring. got the vaccines going, the economy was beginning to hum. and there was a real sense of optimism about us kind of clearing that tremendous hurdle. and then, you know, things reversed and then came afghanistan and, you know, a series of other things that you listed. and it has hurt him. there is a sense things are little loose, things a little chaotic right now and he needs to establish control. if he passes these bills i think that will help. i think that will help sort of ease the sense that he has lost control of the environment around him. but i have great sympathy for him and for people in the white house. one thing you learn very quickly and i thought about this last spring when, you know, everybody was so exaltant. there's always something around the corner. that's part of the job. it is never easy and oftentimes these kind of situations aggregate at once. and it feels at that moment this is the decisive epic in your administration. that's not true. you know, president obama in 2011 had a miserable summer in 2011 right before he ran for re-election. to the point where people were doubting whether he could win re-election. and he ended up winning a very solid victory, you know, 13 months later. so we'll see how this works out, but i do think that this legislation is very important. he admitted this the center piece of his administration. getting these two pieces of legislation passed, he's done a good job of getting them to this point. they have to get across the finish line. if they don't, you know, there's real long-term damage there. >> absolutely. and the idea here of we never know what's right around the corner. but i'll tell you in a four-year term we often know it's really months and months the presidency can actually be determined. thank you. we'll be right back. car vending machines. and now, putting you in control of your financing. at carvana, get personalized terms, browse for cars that fit your budget, then customize your down payment and monthly payment. and these aren't made-up numbers. it's what you'll really pay, right down to the penny. whether you're shopping or just looking. it only takes a few seconds, and it won't affect your credit score. finally! a totally different way to finance your ride. only from carvana. the new way to buy a car. today let's paint with new behr dynasty™... so that you can be proud of your walls. where's your furniture?

[ bell ringing ] sean perry, co-founder of the nonprofit we are hope is bringing mental health services to schools at no cost to the students. >> hello, everybody! >> hello. >> good morning. >> i'm here to make sure that youif you guys have a difficult day, you have somebody to talk to. >> we're able to help kids that would not normally have access to mental health support. that's how we're changing the status quo. >> when the pandemic hit, i didn't recognize my babies anymore. >> reporter: 17-year-old lindsey and 12-year-old jacob struggled with anxiety and depression during the pandemic. >> it kind of felt like there was this icy ball in the back of my throat. i just felt so hopeless. >> i just felt like i was stuck in a cage that i couldn't escape from. >> i didn't know how to help them. if we didn't have we are hope available through this school, i could have lost my kids down a dangerous little path. >> reporter: one of the top causes of death for teenagers is suicide. these statistics are really frightening. i'm the mother of three teenagers, so i'm always attuned to their moods and their mental health. and then i personally remember being a teenager. and for me, those were turbulent years. between the time i was 15 and 17, i lived in six different houses. there was a lot of upheaval, and it did end up affecting my mental health. did you have some of those same issues? >> i struggled significantly with anxiety. in my 20s, i was hopeless, alone. i made a deal with myself that i was going to go to the local park and just end everything. and i woke up, and i was like, i'm still here. i'm still here. my purpose right now is to make sure that there's not another kid on this planet that has to feel the way that i felt. >> how's it going? >> good. >> are you guys excited? >> yeah. >> i'm excited too. >> reporter: how does we are hope function in this school? >> we have a coach in a school for six hours, we could see 12 students five days a week for about 60 to 90 days. then we rotate them out and get another 12 students in. it's very individualized. typically when we see our kids, it's because of a behavior, blowing out of class, not doing your homework. we work backwards from that behavior. we teach our kids thought create emotions which influence or impact our behavior. >> before we are hope entered our school four years ago, we had two school counselors for roughly 300 kids. we did our best, but it wasn't enough. we are hope is what i consider a missing piece in education. if students get the support to cope with anxiety, then they can learn. >> reporter: we gathered at the hartland diner to hear from the kids themselves. how many people felt more anxiety or more depression during the pandemic? all of you. >> it was a really big negative impact on my life. >> kind of getting in fights and stuff. >> i had a lot of anxiety. >> my depression hit me so hard. >> give me a technique that we are hope taught you. >> i learned this like new breathing technique called birthday case breathing. you smell the birthday cake, and then you blow out the candles. >> how do you smell the birthday cake?
