yourself. use this time to read the book you've been meaning to read. practice your favorite sport or learn a new one. and help out at home. be sure to stay in touch with friends and family, and make sure you're being your best self. these are important and healthy habits that we can all easily practice. and they are a reminder that we will only get through this with patience, compassion, and care. tonight, please know that the president and i are with you during these challenges times, and we continue to do everything we can to support you. god bless you all, and god bless the united states of america. >> lovely and so important. as the first lady just mentioned, you know, these are challenging times. a lot of our viewers are asking about how they can help others, how they can find help

themselves. you can find out how by going to cnn.com/coronavirus. you can find out there how to help. there's even categories to search for where you want to contribute in addition to resources for self-help. gouk to cnn.com/impact. >> sanjay. thank you. i want to thank first lady melania trump, father jenkins, and all the educators who joined us tonight. also thanks to those who wrote in with questions. the conversation continues at cnn.com/coronavirusanswers. news continues right now with chris cuomo. all right. thank you, anderson. i am chris cuomo, and welcome to "prime time." trump doesn't want to be seen with a mask even in a place that it's required and all the other competent executives have one on. do you have to wonder why? it's just like with testing which is why there's no real national plan. it's just like with his attacks

on voting by mail, lying again about voter fraud. it is all part of the same effort to help himself no matter the risks to your rights or your health. we have the governor of michigan tonight. that's where trump was, a state that the president is threatening to defund for trying to keep voters safe in a pandemic. she had a huge win in court today and some strong words for the president. and big news, another major development in the arbery case in georgia, a new arrest, someone we had on this program just last week. wasn't allowed to talk too much, but now he has a lot to answer for. what do you say? let's get after it. again, tonight you only need one piece of sound to tell the story. >> well, i did wear -- i had one on before. i wore one in this back area. but i didn't want to give the

press the pleasure of seeing it. here's my mask right now and i liked it very much. honestly i think i look better in the mask. i really did. i look better in the mask. >> if he thought that, he would never take it off. look, this isn't about the press. this is about you. it's about the country. you need to see the first example by this president showing the rest of us he's trying to keep someone safe besides himself. let's bring in kaitlan collins at the white house for us tonight. great example of the president stepping on his own good headline. this was supposed to be about ford and making ventilators and showing how america, how far we've come in that regard and how fast. instead, he got caught up with the mask stuff and some other side issues. >> reporter: yeah, and chris, people inside the white house feel the ventilator issue is one of their strongest performances throughout the whole coronavirus response, making sure that people could get ventilators, ramping up that production. but that is of course not the headline coming out of the president's visit to that ford plant in michigan today. it's that he had a mask on him

but said he just didn't want to wear it because of the optics. he made clear it wasn't a health thing or anything like that. he just didn't want to be seen in front of the cameras wearing a mask, even had one on him. the reasoning from the white house is that he's tested daily, something that he reminded reporters about as he was leaving the white house today. >> i tested very positively in another sense. so -- yeah. i tested positively towards negative. no, i tested perfectly this morning meaning i tested negative. >> he doesn't even like the word. everything about covid scares him in terms of it being a negative impact on his own election hopes. and it's in every piece of his messaging that i hear. >> reporter: yeah, and the thing is we know he's concerned about coronavirus personally getting it because after his valet

tested positive, that's when he started taking hydroxychloroquine, that unproven drug for treating or preventing coronavirus. we know he's concerned about getting it. he is taking precautions in his mind like that that he thinks will work but he does not want to do things like wear a mask. >> he doesn't want to wear the mask. he doesn't like the messaging. but the people in the white house are getting tested, doing tracing, and they're wearing masks. now, this was an interesting visit to michigan because of what he had been saying about voting by mail. he met with the governor today. we'll have her on right after you. but what was the spin on how he feels about the issue while he was in the state? >> well, it's really interesting because he did speak with governor whitmer two days in a row. yesterday when he were in the cabinet room with him, he seemed to back away from withdrawing funding if they continue to mail the ballots. he said i don't think that will be necessary. but when he was asked about that today, he said he didn't say

that. and he still hasn't specified which funding it is that he's threaten to withhold. of course officials in that state are obviously concerned about that given that they are having a more severe outbreak than you're seeing in a lot of other places. but the president is pushing ahead, claiming without any evidence that he believes there is massive fraud when it comes to mail-in voting even though he's only going after these democratic states. and several other republican secretaries of state have made similar moves because people are concerned about going to vote in a pandemic. there are a lot of primaries happening over the summer they've got to be concerned about. the president continued pushing that even when he was in michigan today in the face of officials who pushed back and said the president was inaccurate in the claims he was making. >> voting by mail is wrought with fraud and abuse. if you're president of the united states and if you vote in florida and you can't be there, you should be able to send in a ballot. if you're not well, you're

feeling terrible, you're sick, you have a reasonable excuse, just a reasonable excuse, you should be able to vote by mail in. >> what do the people in the white house offer up as proof of the president's claim? >> reporter: none so far. at the briefing the other day we asked the press secretary about this. she just referred us to the campaign when he asked -- not only is he saying there's massive fraud. he says michigan is doing something illegal here and they haven't pointed to what the president believes is illegal by them sending out applications to get ballots. they're just sending out the applications to get ballots. i will tell you several of the president's political aides and his allies on the outside realize this is a headache. they want to win michigan in november november and they do not think the president making these claims is going to be helpful to them. so, that's something else they're going to have to square what the president wants, what he wants to hear, and their tactic of trying to win that state.

>> pro tip, when you want to win a state and a big part of it is underwater and 10,000 people have to be displaced, you should visit. kaitlan collins, thank you very much for taking us through the day's events. appreciate it. now, as kaitlan and i were talking the president went to michigan just today after threatening to withhold money to that state over his conspiracies about mail-in voting. so, what did he say to the governor's face. governor gretchen whitmer, next. phone bill. y you're on t-mobile, taxes and fees are included. why can't all my bills be like this? i don't know mama. umph! with t-mobile, taxes and fees are included. and when you switch your family, get 4 lines of unlimited for just $35 a line.

this president went to michigan to show off america's ventilator capacity, but instead he made it about not wearing a mask and made-up notions about voter fraud. this is a perfect example of trump ruining his own good headline. and there are plenty of serious issues in the state of michigan to discuss. let's get after that with michigan governor greten whitmer. governor, thank you for joining us on "prime time." >> glad to be with you. >> first, the flooding. fema approved federal assistance. what is the latest, and what does that assistance mean for the people who lost their homes? >> let me just start with this.

in the midst of a global pandemic we were given short notice that we had to evacuate 10,000 people. we did so without a casualty. it's really a testament to the kind of grit that people have and doing so trying to observe social distancing and mask wearing. it was really incredible to see this community come together. we're still very concerned about a couple of other dams and the incredible pressure that we have because of all this precipitation that we've had. but we know that this was a historic event. it's going to take a while to get back from it, but we're grateful that we got the declaration declared so quickly. i'm meeting with fema tomorrow. we're going to continue talking about the extent of this damage so we can get people the help they need. >> and so far -- it's early and you don't want to have false optimism here, but no fatalities reported. is that still true? >> at this point, that is still true and it really is pretty remarkable. i was there talking with people

yesterday, and this community's really come together, has shown the best in people in the toughest circumstances. and i think when you see footage of michigan you tend to see the protestors at the capital but this is the real story, people rising to the challenge and helping out. it was inspirational to see it. >> the man inspiring those protests, the president of the united states, there today. is it really true that he didn't accept an invitation to tour the flooding? or was it about scheduling? it's hard to believe when infrastructure is supposed to be so important to him? >> you know what, i'm not sure. i talked to him for about five minutes yesterday. he asked about midland. i told him what i saw as i had a chance to survey the damage. he said maybe if i come back sometime maybe you might meet with me there. but today he was at ford and i did not have a meeting with him, so i'm not quite sure to speak

to the intention with regard to why there wasn't a trip today. >> okay. another big development in michigan, something akin to what happened in wisconsin. you go to the legislature, you say, listen, we have to extend the stay-at-home order. they say no. you say i'll do it myself. you cite somewhat arcane executive authority. the republicans say we're going to sue you. you're overreaching. you're no queen or king or whatever you want to call it. you went to court. unlike wisconsin, you won. are you surprised and what was the rationale by the court? >> well, michigan was different. we have different sources of authority. i have grateful for the victory we had in court today. i know that every decision i've made -- and i'm tony evers, every decision he made was based on the best epidemiology, the public health expertise, and the needs of our people. we're all doing everything we

can to save lives. whether you are in new york, wisconsin, or michigan or somewhere else, i know that governors are acting because we need to, because there's not been a national strategy, and it's on us to do everything we can to protect people. and i cited every ounce of authority and various places that i have as governor of michigan and i was grateful for the victory today in court. >> what does the victory mean for you going forward? >> well, it means that we can stay focused on the epidemiology and the public health expertise as we continue to turn the dial and reengage sectors of our economy. we've got to be really smart. we've got to do this incrementally. we have to follow the data. we have to keep ramping up testing so that we avoid a second wave. covid-19's been devastating here in michigan. we no that because even though we're the 10th largest state by population, for a long time, we were the third highest number of deaths. we still have the fourth highest number of deaths in the country. and that's why we have to take

aggressive steps to save lives. what we have done has worked but we are not out of the woods yet. >> obviously having the president there, he made an issue out of whether or not he would wear a mask. he played the media on that today. he says i'm not going to give you the satisfaction of seeing me in a mask, but i did wear one. what is your take on the politics of his mask reluctance? >> i'm not sure what to make of it, but what i can tell you is that we just got the big three back to work this week. and they've got strict protocols to keep their work force safe. the ford executives were all wearing masks. every one of the workers in the facility are wearing masks. this is a place that it's really important to get it right and so the workers can have confidence that they're safe. this is a city, a metropolitan area, that has been hit hard by covid-19. that's why it's so important that everyone takes this seriously. and i would appreciate it if everyone with a platform lived

the values we're trying to get everyone else to follow because it's really important that we are following the science, we're protecting ourselves, and we should all be wearing masks. let's be very clear. >> can you think of any good reason that the president doesn't wear a mask? >> you know what? i'm wearing masks every time that i'm in public. i went and got a covid-19 test today not because i'm sick or been around anyone who's sick, but i want people to know it's an easy thing to do. we should all be getting tested. the more people that get tested the better. the more people wearing masks, the better. this is about all of us. and everyone with a platform and a responsibility and a position of influence should be doing precisely that. >> how effective do you think the president's message that you guys are faking it, especially the democrats. you're faking it. you're making covid more serious than it is. you're keeping people home longer than you need to because you love the power and you love to suppress freedom and you think it's going to hurt him in

the election. how effective is that messaging in your state? >> when you look at how people are reacting to the stay-home orders, i know we focus on the few that go to the capital and make outrageous statements. but the fact of the matter is the vast majority of people in my state are taking this seriously. that's how we've pushed this curve down and saved thousands of lives. the vast majority of people when polled will say we think we should take a slow, incremental phases back to normalcy, that we need to be wearing masks. people get it. they're not stupid. they understand the science. they understand how highly communicable this is and how dangerous it is. so, i think that all of this political rhetoric isn't changing peoples' minds. in fact, it's only confusing folks and i think making it more dangerous. that's why i wish it would stop because we've got to focus on the science. this is a public health crisis, not a political problem that we have. we've got to get it right.

>> quickly, why don't you see the mail-in balloting or absentee balloting the way the president does which is that it's too risky. it's too much fraud, it's improper, and if you don't get it he may have to pull funds from you. are you worried about that and why don't you see it the way he does? >> this is happening in republican-led states and democratic-led states. the president himself has voted this way. all the secretary of state in michigan did yesterday was say we're going to mail everyone an application to get a ballot. that's all she said. that is expected by the michigan constitution and the people of michigan, it's how we keep people safe and give them the ability to participate in their democracy. everyone should be demanding that. >> okay. you worried about him pulling funds? >> you know, i'm concerned every time i see those vailed threats or maybe they're not veiled threats. it is concerned, of course. i don't believe that the ability to do that really exists. and i'm going to continue to

forge ahead and do everything we know to be the right thing to do and work to make sure that michigan doesn't lose any of these dollars. we are hurting. we're hurting because of covid-19. we're hurting because we've had this unprecedented flooding event. we need, as americans, to all demand that we get the support by virtue of being americans. it shouldn't matter who your governor is. it shouldn't matter about relationships. we should all be entitled to knowing that our federal government is going to protect us, is going to help us in our time of need, and that is right now. >> michigan is certainly become a metaphor for the country in terms of seeing how hard covid can hit, how people respond, what they tolerate, and what it means heading into november. governor, the best to you and your family for your health and your effectiveness. >> thank you, chris. so, states are opening up. they're doing it in different ways. is there already proof of the impact on covid cases? we only know what we can show.

let's see what the facts show, next.

we keep saying that reopening is a must, but how we do it means everything. it could mean the difference between a blip, as dr. fauci calls it, and a resurgence. so, let's have nick watt take a look at what we could see in the days and weeks to come. >> reporter: cities like houston and miami should brace for a covid come back according to new monitoring that monitors how well we're social distancing as we reopen. >> the degree to which some areas that move too quickly or have not been vigilant with regards to individual behavior, we are starting to see evidence of resurgence. >> reporter: largely in the south they say, hospitals in montgomery, alabama reporting they're nearly out of icu beds. >> the number of covid patients that they were seeing was not

only increasing but that people were coming in. i think it's in part due to we opened up the economy too soon. >> but we're seeing optimism in other areas that appear to be moving cautiously. >> reporter: king county, washington opening slowly and the new case count is still falling. >> now is not the time to tempt fate and pull back completely. >> reporter: right now there's a spike in south america as cooler weather nears. when the summer is over, i expect it will reground itself in the north, cdc director robert redfield told "the financial times," says he can't guarantee there won't be another lockdown this fall. he says the truth is regularly the data is delayed. states are combining viral and

antibody results potentially muddying the picture of where and how the virus is spreading. the food bank lines tell a different stour, the impact of lockdown. nearly half of adult americans are now living in a house hold that has lost income according to a census bureau survey. and 10% reported often or some of the time not having enough food. >> he's going to point out the pews and the confessional. >> reporter: religious services are back in new york. catholic leaders laid out their plan. hand sanitizer at the door and online still encouraged. >> we will move slowly but surely to get to maximum participation as quick as we can. >> reporter: what happens next is largely up to all of us individually. >> and if people take the right precautions, you don't necessarily need to see a rise in the number of cases. >> reporter: nick watt, cnn, los angeles. >> thanks to nick watt for that. so, testing, testing, testing. well, testing is a mess right

now according to one of our nation's top infectious disease intellects. why? because this next theory is going to be not about how many we test but who we test and how. so, who should be tested? how often? is a covid test what we want or an antibody test? is that better? why does testing matter so much? the man on the side of the screen with the brains has the answers next.

scientists at university of minnesota center for infectious disease, they say, research and policy experts, testing as many people as possible, not the best way to reopen safely. instead they're promoting what they call a smart testing model. what is that? michael olser hol m leads the

center. >> thank you very much. good to be with you. >> common sense is more testing, no better. why? >> it's like investment. if you take all your money and put all your money in investment and realize that's not going to give you the best rate of time. you're going to test the right amount of people with the right test with the right result and do the right thing about it. we have many examples just recently where we've seen testing causes more problems than helped us. >> so, how do you know what the answers to those questions are, just limiting them to the obvious ones who are to test, how often? >> well, for example, if you really want to know where the disease is in the community, do what willy sutton told us. rob banks because that's where the money is. basically you look the record sick people. anyone who has signs or symptoms will help you uncover new hotspots and give you an idea of what's happening in the community. test them first. make sure they get tested.

second of all you want to test health care workers and first responders who are around people if they have the mildest symptoms because you don't want them transmitting to patients. i could go through the list like that and say if you can check off the first one, second one, third one, keep going down the list. don't just tell everybody to go out and get tested. the other thing that's important here is some of this testing can be harmful. i say that, look no further than what happened at the white house just a couple of weeks ago. i wrote about this in the "new york times" a month ago. why were they using a test where up to half the people might not be picked up and they were using that to bubble the wous had to test it. that was the wrong test for that location. so, it's things like that we need to address where we can be smarter, get better data, have more effectiveness, and actually do the kind of testing that we really need to do. >> two follows. one, what if you're symptomatic. do you not test them? >> didn't say don't test those, but again, let's go where the money is. if i have an uncle who losing a

$10 bill in the middle of an iowa cornfield, i could spend all day looking for it or go to a bank and rob it. where am i going to get the best return? you're going to find out there are more people who are symptomatic. >> how do you find out if they're asymptomatic? >> that's where we need to have an active program encouraging people who have these following signs and symptoms, you've got to make it really easy for them to get tested and you've got to be able to get the results back to them. do you know how many drive in programs we have right now where people feel like they're getting access but because they don't get complete information we have many results sitting on computers that never got back to the person who got tested because they didn't have enough identifying information. that's part of the system. make sure that we can get those results back, that we can actually do something about them whether it's helping that individual isolate, whether it's contact tracing, whatever. that's part of a smart system.

>> i thought the problem with the tests the white house was using was it just wasn't accurate. you said it wasn't the right one for that location. where would it have worked better? >> well, in that case, what i'm saying is it wasn't the right one because if you actually follow through on the recommendations for that test, if you test negative, you're still supposed to get a pcr test. so, what it does, it gives you if somebody is positive, but it doesn't give you the information if you're negative which in that case we needed to bubble that location n. a clinical setting you may say if you're back in the community this would be a test that might work if it works 80% of the time to at least get those people identified. but let me give you another example. right now with the antibody tests that everybody is promoting, suggesting we use that to figure out who can go back to work, if you were to apply that test across the state of minnesota or most the states across the country right now, half of the test results that turn back positive would be false positives. here i'm trying to tell a nurse basically i don't know what this means because i'm not sure if

you're immune or not but it doesn't matter because half the time you're not positive after all. so, again, we shouldn't be using those kinds of tests in that kind of setting. and this is what we haven't talked about. this is what we haven't done to be smart about our testing. >> so, let's take one more step on that though because that's going to be real confusing for people. >> sure. >> to lay people, either a test is accurate or it isn't. but it's not as simple here because context matters. 50% wrong rate with an antibody test, it seems like the test stinks. how can a test have a 50% wrong rate and still be useful? >> that's a screening test phenomena that occurs with every test we have in medicine. if you have a very low prevalence, 5% of the population being positive, that's how that test works because it's not an on or off switch. it's not like a light switch. so, we have that middle ground where in order to pick up all the positives we pick up a bunch of negatives too or the vice versa in order to pick up all the negatives, we also pick up

positives. and so one of the challenges we have is in fact how to use these tests. this is why we're talking about smart testing because under certain circumstances, these antibody tests can be really helpful. for example, in new york, if we want to know what the background rate of infection has been, if i apply that test, the systematic air is there meaning it's built in. if i use that same test with the same lab and i do it two months from now and i do it four months from now and i do it six months from now, if i see the levels go from 15% to 20% to 30% it's a relative term and i know i've got something going on. so, it's understanding how these tests work. finally, the other thing that we kept emphasizing is if this is not just about the test. you've heard the reagent problems. you've heard about the swab problems. you also know we've been running the test machines in this country 24/7 in a way they were never intended and we're starting to see the machines break down.

we're starting to see problems with pa rts that come from asia or europe to fix them. and we never anticipated that kind of testing load. so, it's all part of a system that we have to have in place in order to get the best results in. i want to emphasize testing is really important, but we've got to do it smart. >> and that's why you called for a centralized plan on this through the federal government through hhs. yes, the states have a lot of responsibility here, but you can't have everybody doing it differently. everywhere that's done this successfully has done it through a central planning system except america hasn't done that yet. go ahead, michael. >> i was just going to say, you're exactly right. you summed it up very well. that's exactly what we need. >> i've been listening to you. of course i was going to learn something. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> look, people know it's not simple. they just have to be taken through why it matters. they're getting so many mixed messages. thank you so much and everybody working at the university of

minnesota. there's breaking news tonight in the arbery murder investigation in georgia. the man behind the key piece of evidence, the video of the killing, is now under arrest himself. you saw him on this show last week. you didn't get to hear from him much because his lawyer wanted to do all the talking. what kind of case would prosecutors build against william roddie bryan? laura koets, next.

i am totally blind. and non-24 can make me show up too early... or too late. or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424.

across the country, you'll see gratitude. communities showing support in their own way. our way is massmutual healthbridge, a free life insurance program just for healthcare workers fighting covid-19. ♪ so to all the healthcare workers on the front lines, thank you. ♪ coral corral . a lot of you are going to say i'm not surprised but the man behind the video capturing the shooting death of ahmaud arbery is under arrest tonight. his name is william roddie bryan. he faces attempted murder

charge. that's going to be about what was in the police report from the mcmichaels describing what roddie bryan tried to do. mr. bryan's lawyer told us last week his client was innocent. do you think that your client should be understood as part of the altercation that day? >> no, sir, no, sir, not at all. >> because? >> because my client -- my client has done nothing wrong here. he's committed no crime. >> if you remember, you know, he didn't want his client to talk. and when challenged about why can't roddie just speak for himself, this was his own lawyer's defense. >> my client is a mechanic with a high school education, and if you've ever been to the high schools around here, that's not necessarily saying much, okay?

and i don't mind if the board of education doesn't like it. you know, i'm not there for them either. but you can't be asking him questions about the substance of the evidence. >> yeah, you can. and so did the gbi. mechanics some of the smartest people you can meet in terms of what they understand. and high school education is not something to be looked down on. this was always about a distraction. what did you do? why did you do it? what did you know? those were the questions, and he was more than capable of answering them. and obviously the gbi did not like what he had to share, okay? let's bring in laura coates. we invited mr. bryan's turn to to come back on, by the way. he declined. laura, as i suggested in the introduction, in the incident report, the mcmichaels named a roddie as having been present and trying to stop, to block

ahmaud. mcmichael stated that then ahmaud got away from the car and ran away. that's what we were asking about. his lawyer said that never happened. obviously gbi must find differently, yes? >> yes. and of course it's important for a false imprisonment or an attempt to commit false imprisonment because you have to actually intend to confine the person. they can have no reasonable means of escape. and arguably, what we saw from that now viral and very traumatic video, we saw a young man who was jogging who was videotaped for more than four minutes and at the end of his race, at the end of his journey, were men with shotguns and armed blocking him at every turn. that entails someone falsely imprisoned. and i would add you have to intend to do so. >> just to be clear, we asked him about exactly that statement in the incident report.

here's his answer. in the police report, the mcmichaels referred to a roddie. i'm assuming that was you, yes? >> hold on, chris. you've been a prosecutor, and you can imagine that this prosecutor that's been in this case 24 hours, she's going to start throwing stuff around her living room if you start doing her job for her, okay? >> so, mr. bryan, how did you come to be in the car video taping that day? you don't want to talk about that either? all right. let's do this. you were afraid of the facts of this case, counselor, why? >> sir, i'm not afraid of anything. >> better be afraid now because the combination, laura, of what the mcmichaels said at the scene and the fact that they released roddie's tape. so, how did roddie's tape get to the mcmichaels if he supposedly

had no relationship with them and didn't know them. he was looking at trouble. you said it that night, and the gbi shares your assessment at least in terms of probable cause for an arrest. >> it's because that very question you asked because everyone was wondering whether this person was was it coincidence he was at the precise moment to capture it? or complicit in some way. in matter of days opposed to months it took the prosecutor office to bring this case to light in some manner, only because of his own mother. you can find they found he's not coincidence on the scene. felony murder is an odd thing. if i didn't actually fire the gun, why would i be held accountable? and point to things like are we

going to prosecute everybody who maybe present to film something? what about the walter scott. prosecute the person there? no, we don't punish the truly innocent bystander. who the law does punish is people who allegedly and according to investigation now we're finding have somehow encouraged or were a part of participated in the under lying efbt. if you're trying to falsely imprison someone that's a felony. any killing after that felony you are reliable for. in georgia is even more unique man most. say a police officer had intervened and you are committing an armed robbery and the police officer shoots somebody. one of your codefendants guess what you're responsible for them. yo caused the officer to fire. in georgia you're talking about felony murder. we hold people liable for participation. they found he was more than an

innocent bystander and not coincidence tally on the scene. >> and the second charge is a look into the head of the prosecution that they do not believe people at that scene had any right to try to detain ahmaud arbery. otherwise they wouldn't hit him with false imprisonment. if they don't think they had a right, they don't think the citizens arrest law would give him clearance on this. the mystery remains in terms of understanding the situation that day, perez. the other neighbor. who was in contact with mr. english the opener of the house. there's different reporting on where he was that day and what what he knew and sent. he's important to hear from. we try to reach out to him. he may clarify so many things. >> or add to the concern. remember, we are understanding through the counsel of the arbery family there's more than

one filming available. there were other people on the scene in some way. it goes to your logic to suggest that people who may have participated in some either -- way. we don't know. or direct way. are now being brought in or under arrested. and people tend to clam up when they find themselves not on a scene coincidence. the property owner, remember all this presumably started with two men trying to be in defense of someone's property who never reported an incident. lawfully imprisoning and detaining this person appears their were absolutely not doing that. >> i remember the first time asked for your take. it can't by just about the 23rd. february 23 is the last day of his life. it was only the first step in understanding this story. this has to be about what people

thought they knew and decided to act upon. laura coates, thank you for being value added. >> thank you. >> all right. i want to keep this trend going of not ending on the bad. because look, we have everything in our society. especially during crisis. look at this beauty. pint size super-hero. her mission and follow through. reasoning. she is an american. my little black heart is beating more tonight. she'll show you why. that's the clarity you get with fidelity wealth management.

we want to remember why we smile. why we believe and have hope. take a look at this 10 year-old from connecticut. chelsea fair. girl is a rock star. what did she want for her birthday this year? to help other kids who are less fortunate. she launched chelseas charity with her parents and asked

guests at her party to donate art supplies in lieu of gifts. what'd she do with them? she was able to give out 40 art kits to a homeless shelter in new york. do you know how desperate kids are in shelters for any kind of distraction and sign that somebody knows they're there and cares. she didn't stop there. they were able to donate 1,000 art kits in five months. and during the pandemic. additional 1,500 to schools, shelters, foster homes across 12 states. sixth grader says it's her dream to meet every child in the world to give them art and maybe we'll have world peace. what an incredible inspiration. remember, for all the bad, for all the acid and the toxicity in what we see around us.

we are the little girl too. she is part of our interconnectedness and interdependence. remember, there's always hope. thank you for watching "cnn tonight" with d. lemon right now. >> that is an american. what was i doing at ten years old? i wasn't doing that. >> what am i doing now? >> i was watching that story -- congratulations. go chelsea. someone like her and the american ts you're putting on and every year we do the hero thing, i have never felt worse about myself. i feel warm inside and i leave the hero thing and think about what am i doing? >> it's a fair question. it's in the easy to look at yourself in the mir rir on a regular base si. and youee
