congress is heading towards an october 18th deadline before the federal government is expected to run out of money. concern is growing tonight as president biden hints at taking away the filibuster option from republicans who don't want to go along with the trillion dollar spending plan. and you details tonight about the manhunt for brian laundry. still considered a person of interest in the death of gabby. his sister now speaking out with harsh words for her brother and her own parents. we begin tonight with a heated debate over the justice department's new plan to look into what it calls "threats" and intimidation against school officials across the country. digging into the story. good evening, matt. >> good evening. many of us have seen those viral videos over the past couple of months of outraged parents and school employees trying to take a stand against school boards and polarizing topics like mask mandates, pronouns, and critical race theory. now a memo from attorney general merrick garland, director of the fbi and doj to prosecute any potential threats of violence potentially coming from these parents. republican senator josh hawley is pushing back saying the federal government has provided no actual evidence of size and should stay at of these meetings where parents are just voicing their concerns. >> in the scathing letter on tuesday, senator josh hawley slamming attorney general merrick garland over a memo he issued monday night. directing the fbi and doj to identify and prosecute potential threats of violence and harassment coming from parents that might be opposing controversial policies like mask mandates and critical race theory. writing to the ag in part, "americans are speaking out against the radical racist ideologies sometimes called critical race theory. americans have responded to this radical ideology by winning elections for the local school boards and protesting peacefully at school board meetings. yet your mama yesterday to the fbi and local u.s. attorneys ignored all of this and warned of an insurgence of threats of violence and efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views." on tuesday, senator hawley grill deputy attorney general lisa monaco about the men mount. >> if this is in a deliberate attempt to chill parents from showing up at school board meetings for their elected school board, i don't know what it is. >> i have to respectfully disagree. the attorney general's memorandum made quite clear that violence is not an appropriate spirited public debate on the whole range of public issues. >> former education secretary betsy devos saying it's a massive federal overreach. >> there is no place for physical violence in any way for but there's also no place for intimidating parents from speaking their minds and hearing about their kids education and future. >> office comes after the national school board association recently asked the president for law enforcement assistance to deal what it says is a growing number of threats against school boards. writing in part,, it believes assistance is required to protect our students, school board members, and educators who are susceptible to acts of violence. speak out and in this memo monday, he agreed with the request writing that threats are not only illegal but they run counter to the nation's core values. >> shannon: thank you very much. reaction to the doj's plan has been swift and among many parents, less than enthusiastic. let's bring in them to discuss. mother of three, bridget ziegler. and former doj prosecutor, ken buck, republican. thank you so much for being with us tonight. >> thanks for having us. >> shannon: this is part of what the attorney general set about this. while spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence were efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views. congressman. >> he's absolutely right. we shouldn't allow threats and we shouldn't allow violence in public debate, but we also shouldn't try to chill public debates. and just so, so happens that the biden administration has been in favor of critical race theory, ben remote and race theory, and if the issue the attorney general takes exception with, and that is really scary. we should have a country that wants to foster parental involvement in schools and foster parental involvement in this debate over what their children learn. >> shannon: i saw some postings on twitter today that there are people objecting that somebody showed up at another school board members home down there. they were shouting, they were calling for them to come out. people thought it was harassment in the neighborhood. do you think it is time to have a conversation with those folks. is it the feds who need to get involved with this? >> well i definitely do not agree with the association, with the school board association, indicating that parents speaking out our associated with domestic terrace. i will say that what -- quickly denounced land there is no place -- people protesting outside a citizens home and even elected official and we have seen this across party lines. and it's nothing i support because there is no benefit to. however, when we bring it back to the board room and we are parents over the last couple of years, as a result of covid, likely, i've been showing up and sharing their opinion and that has been met with the distain and that is further fueled her frustration. but i equally agree that no acts of violence or threats should never be tolerated and i believe local law enforcement has been quick to respond and i believe in their ability to do so. but this act by the national school board association, which is a taxpayer-funded lobbying group, to go to this end, is a chilling effect and intended to silence and intimidate parents who have a different point of view. >> shannon: i want to play something from senator tom cotton weighing in on this idea. >> every state has laws on the books for criminalizing violence or criminal threats. this is a dangerous overreach by the biden administration. to sake the feds on parents who want to simply play a role in their children's education. >> shannon: bridget mentioned this too, there is local law enforcement, state and local laws and ordinances. why is it necessary for the feds to get involved? can congress do anything about pushing back were asking questions? >> they should push back and when we get the majority congress will push back on this senate effort. and the point -- it's a great point. if there is some inadequacy with local law enforcement, perhaps the feds should look at something. but there is no evidence that local law enforcement response has been inadequate. if anything, the individuals i have engaged in acts of violence have received a swift response from local law enforcement, and it's absolutely adequate and the federal government should stay out of this area. this is more about sending a message to chill parents than it is trying to enforce the laws of this country. >> shannon: so bridget, you are on both sides of this as a board member who may have been on the receiving end of some upset parents and what they had to say about areas policies or books or teachings or whatever. but you are also a mother. what do you make of what the congressmen and others have said about the fact that this may serve to silence the people who are worried about now being flagged for being a troublemaker. one group deferring to some of these parents as domestic terrorists. >> i think it's such a disservice to public education and public education and we want to encourage parents to be involved. and eye is a public official recognize -- i take criticisms and sometimes you take accolades. i voluntarily walked into this arena as did every other public official, and the right to petition your government is a fundamental right that needs to be protected. and that allows us to -- for people to share their opinion and not to me is why believe the school boards across the country have been -- where they are hearing from parents who weren't necessarily aware of what kind of things were being taught or what kinds of material were some of the progressive social agendas and they are pushing back and i believe the national school board association's intent is to shut them down so they can go back to business as usual. and unfortunately, i do not believe that is the case. >> shannon: so well-known and well-established establish attorney writes a piece today about this. he calls a lawless threat against parents. he says that he thinks that attorney general garland is better based on his long experience. he says garland knows this is dangerous nonsense. i personally know that he knows that. a quick final comment from you, congressman, about what is motivating the attorney general on this front. if you want to venture a guess. >> i think he works for the president of the united states and i think it's clear the president of the united states sees his numbers going down in the polls and they're all a whole slew of issues he is suffering from. the parents are noxious outrage, not just vocal, but they are running for school board across the country in those elections are coming up in november. and i know in my home state of colorado we have a lot of parents who never thought of getting involved in politics before vaccine mandates and requiring young kids to wear masks and now dealing with critical race theory and bathroom issues. all of these things are motivating parents because they think it is wrong and taking away from their children's education. which should be the priority of public education and parents are getting involved and i think it scares the other side that these parents are going to make a difference. >> shannon: well, i think people across effect on mike spectrum agreed that it is never about violence or threats by go to the ballot box if you want to make a change. that is the safe and legal way to do it. congressman and bridget, thank you both. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: secretary janet yellen morning lawmakers on capitol hill today that u.s. debt default that is now less than two weeks away would be "catastrophic" and likely trigger an economic recession. so who is to blame? a lot of finger-pointing. kevin corke has the latest on the debt ceiling showdown. >> good evening. obviously we are still looking at the calendar. october 18th is the day that if you believe them, government officials say the u.s. will and fact default on its debt if congressional lawmakers don't raise the debt ceiling. >> i support getting it done. this is long been done on a bipartisan basis. the debt ceiling has been raised almost 80 times since 1960 and almost always on the bipartisan basis. this shouldn't be the responsibility of one party or the other. >> oh, which is precisely why many believe that congressional republicans want. that is, support democrats to raise the debt ceiling on their own. and with no measurable progress made today and the calendar still churning, some likened what is happening in washington to a high-stakes game of fiscal chicken. >> we can prevent a catastrophic default with a simple majority vote tomorrow. if republicans would just get out of the dam way, we could get this all done. >> majority leader schumer speaking right there. the other end, the white house says "one time" change the center rule to prevent a filibuster to to suspend the debt ceiling is a real possibility. >> quite frankly, there's not many options if they are going to be that irresponsible. not many options. not much time left. i don't think they are going to be responsible. i can't believe i. >> to be sure, democrats quietly acknowledge that they could raise the debt ceiling without the g.o.p. but apparently party leaders don't want them to take that photo and then have to answer the tough questions later. one of the major sticking points in all of this could be -- which bars the use of federal funds to pay for abortions except in the case of saving a woman's life or for pregnancy arise from or rate. the president says he would sign a reconciliation bill with or without it which for many progressives is an absolute nonstarter. so the infighting continues on the left and we'll see if the calendar gets ever closer to the 18th. >> shannon: kevin, i have to ask you about something separating little fact from fiction. you talk about a trillion dollar coin as a way to get around the debt ceiling drama. what do you know about whether the coin could be a legit? >> okay. quick history lesson for you. the trillion dollar coin is actually a concept that emerged during the debt crisis back in 2011. in theory, back coin would enable the government to sort of pay its bills without additional borrowing and thus avoid default. obviously the downside is pretty obvious and that is hyperinflation because minting such a coin would be like creating money out of thin air. in case you're wondering, the treasury secretary janet yellen did weigh in on this. she told cnbc i am opposed to and i don't think we should take it seriously before adding "it's really a gimmick." to say nothing of the legal questions. so expect them to get back to the bargaining table with time running out. >> shannon: all right. listen. you never know here in washington. things that sound too crazy to be true sometimes aren't. thank you. see you again in a minute, kevin. ♪ ♪ the sister of brian speaking out tonight calling on her fugitive brother to turn himself in. adding if she knew where he was, she would turn him in. he is considered a person interested in the death of girlfriend gabby petito. laura ingle is tracting the leg comic latest of elements for us tonight. >> hi. as frustration continues to grow to find brian laundrie. his answers are giving -- of when her brother returned to florida from his cross-country road trip and gabby petito's van without her. revealing to "good morning america" that she was with her brother and her parents on september 6 for a couple of hours when the family went camping in florida. five days before gabby petito was reported missing and six days after brian returned home. >> i really wish he had come to me first that day with event because i don't think we would be here. i worry about him. i hope he is okay and then i'm angry and i don't know what to think. i would tell my brother to just come forward and get us out of this horrible mass. >> telling. >> telling gma she hasn't been able to get in touch with her brother or her parents who say they don't know where their son is and haven't seen her since he went hiking on the 13th. that's the new date. the previous lead was the 14th. >> say her name. >> gabby petito. >> something protesters have been asking for days outside their home which brought her out to the curb monday night. >> do you think he killed gabby?

"he is completely bonkers and just wants to distract everyday people from life issues." how do you respond to that criticism? >> first of all, what can they say? this is unprecedented lack of leadership, direction, control of our border. it's a strategic failure and i can tell you this is not just a republican issue. there are democrats that are incensed, astounded, cannot believe biden's absence of leadership as it comes to immigration. the minute he took office, he started decimating policies that were put in place that were actually working and controlling the border. so for example, the last full month of the previous administration, only 17 boats were released into the interior. we are now seeing tens of thousands every month released into our interior and complete violation of federal law. governor desantis and i actually went to the border, which is -- this president have never done -- and we saw what was going on and our folks they are on the grounds of that majority of those coming over told them they were headed to florida and we saw the costs this was going to have on her state so we had to take action. >> shannon: you mention some of what has been said about what is going on at the border, some of the policies that have changed between the trump administration and now. sanitary mallorca's, said those changes have been positive. here is what he said about changing policy in this administration. >> the biden and harris administration has indeed rescinded the immoral, unethical policies and we are rebuilding a system that is been entirely dismantled by the prior administration. >> shannon: so how do you respond to that? he says what was in place was before is cruel and inhumane so they admit yes, they have changed a lot of policies. speak of the policies that were in place were put there to avoid the human cost that the lack of leadership and control was having. it is not just a human cost to those that are making this very dangerous crossing into the united states. it's also going to be at cost as we are seeing more and more folks being detained and those that are not being detained coming in with criminal convictions. so our communities are going to start feeling this in their security, their safety. i can tell you first hand of folks that have had their lives upended because of folks here that shouldn't have been here and were committing crimes. florida is going to spend $100 million just in incarcerating those here illegally that are committing crimes in florida. and that is why desantis and i had to take action and we look forward to arguing our case in court. >> shannon: you mentioned -- and we talk also to folks in texas who are democrats -- elected officials who say we are desperately asking the biden administration for help. these are local people, members of the u.s. congress. do you have democrats there in florida who are willing to help you or join you in some of these request to the federal government or even in some of these challenges to the federal government? >> one of the most shocking things we saw that initially right when biden took office, they started canceling -- those that had committed crimes and telling shares to release them back into the community. i can tell you i have cherished across the state of florida that want to work with governor desantis and myself and making sure our communities are safe. we've instructed them to continue working with law enforcement, detained folks, ask that those folks be picked up in accordance with the law. the problem is the federal government has limited our ability, the state's ability, to do lunch as it comes to immigration. they say we have, we will take it, we are the ones with the legal authority and then they dropped the ball and do nothing. so we have to fight back in court. it's the right thing to do to protect our borders, our country, and to protect our communities across the nation. >> shannon: we know any real solution -- long-term solutions are going to require people across party lines across the aisle from me each other to get together and figure these things out. in the meantime, we will track the actions as well. thanks for your time. >> absolutely. thanks so much. >> shannon: and good news before we say good night. the philadelphia police department adding some adorable new members to its team. a trio of lab puppies. liberty, justice, and dock. his fiancee from a litter of pups that they got from their dog. so he says he heard about the department's k-9 unit needed more dogs, very expenses for them so we decided to donate from from in spring training litter and these three little pups are going to be training to be become heroes and narcotics detention. we wish very good luck to these good boys. you know i am a sucker for a story that involves dogs and law enforcement. >> i am right there with you and speaking up, went to take you to the valley of the sun for this good news and a good night. we are off to arizona where my mom used to live. it's also where we find a different kind of running of the bulls. this time, it's the canine rescue hosting its ninth annual running for the bowls. residents invited to bring their leashed dogs. it's all for a good cause. it's for pitbull inclusion as you see. very good little dog tells also despite the reputation and we salute them tonight. >> shannon: some of the sweetest doggies i know are at those little pitbull's and it's all about how you raise these poochie's. kevin, thank you. i love that story. we will be back here with you tomorrow night. from washington, i am shannon bream. it's important. we walk three to five times a week, a couple miles at a time. - we've both been taking prevagen for a little more than 11 years now. after about 30 days of taking it, we noticed clarity that we didn't notice before. - it's still helping me. i still notice a difference. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. this is... ♪♪ this is iowa. we just haven't been properly introduced. say hello to the place where rolling hills meets low bills. where our fields, inside and out, are always growing. and where the fun is just getting started. this is iowa. so, when are you coming to see us?
