tv Don Lemon Tonight CNN September 17, 2021 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT
7:00 pm
that the person they need to hear from most is gone. and his family didn't know for three days, you'd think, all the strain, all the stress, if he did nothing, you know, anything he ought to be culpable about. they must be keeping tabs on them and worried about them. three days and then you call the police and say we don't know where he is? it's very upsetting. it's very curious. and the search will continue. don lemon tonight with the big store d. lemon right now. >> i was watching tonight and when he said that, my mouth went open. like what? i can't believe -- they haven't seen him for that period of time? listen, i know that this isn't -- as i was speaking to the police chief down in florida last night, this isn't like the police shows you see on television like law and order. they can't even question this guy because of his attorneys and that doesn't happen with
7:01 pm
everybody. you know what i'm saying? >> well, they can't question him because of his rights. they don't have a crime, something that people really just don't know because you're not familiar with the process, you got to be careful about making an arrest because you don't keep getting bites at the apple and right now, they have nothing. because even theif they had fou things in the van or had proof or the family told them something for indication, there would now be moving him to being a suspect and they haven't. >> person of interest. >> so he is now missing. the fbi, which is the best we have, they are looking for these people but just imagine being the family of gabby petito and this family you thought you knew waits three days before they say that this kid is gone and they don't know where he is. >> the thing is, we don't know what happened and we don't know, you know, what the boyfriend, if he had anything to do with it,
7:02 pm
we don't know that but still, it's just odd to me that someone is not talking at this point even through an attorney you would want to share as much information especially if someone is missing. you know what i mean? >> i have never seen this before. >> yeah. >> i'll tell you what i have seen. i have seen people who were guilty who did participate in the search and say that they didn't know what happened and made up a story but i have never seen a missing person situation where somebody was with them or simply just cares about the person, let alone intending to marry them and was not involved in leading the search to find the person. so it is unusual at the least. >> i just hope that the best of all scenarios plays out and she somehow shows up. we'll see, chris. stunning interview watching it. thank you, sir. >> got to feel for the families, have a good weekend. >> i'll be seeing you this weekend. >> i love you d. lemon.
7:03 pm
>> we i love you more. we hope everything works out with the family. we really, really do. busy night. it is the eve of the so-called justice for 6th rally, which let's remember is in defense of the blood thirsty insurrectionists who on january 6th tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power and there is a lot of concern about the potential for more violence at the scene of the crime and we have major news tonight on covid boosters. a key fda panel voting to recommend a booster dose six months after pfizer vaccination for people 65 and older and those at high risk of severe covid, a set back for the president who had announced a plan for every adult to get a booster shot. just over 25% of americans are still unvaccinated. one republican governor saying tonight, get a vaccine or keep piling up body bags. >> we're going to run to the fire and get vaccinated right
7:04 pm
now. or we're going to pile the body bags up until we reach a point in time to where we have enough people that have natural immunities and enough people that are vaccinated. >> governor justice has been on the right side of this covid vaccination thing and masking up the entire time. whether it's our inability to get a grip on covid or the rally at the capitol, we are sick as a result of a toxic political culture. the toxicity exploded into violence at the seed of our democracy, our nation's capitol eight months ago when blood thirsty trump supporting rioters tried to overturn the election forcing lawmakers to run for their lives and beating police officers trying to defend our capitol. capitol police saying they are ready this time and say they want their officers who were under brutal attack from the fellow americans in january to feel confident that the department is prepared this
7:05 pm
time. >> we're trying to get in front of every single police officer in the u.s. capitol police department and the reason was to brief them on our plan and the whole purpose behind that was to instill confidence that the department has prepared this -- has prepared for this event. >> and that toxic political culture we're talking about is on full display as one ohio republican, a conservative republican that voted to impeach the second time around along with nine other republicans now says he will not run for reelection in 2022. anthony gonzalez putting out a statement blaming the toxic dynamics inside the republican party and telling "the new york times", the former president is and i quote here a cancer for the country saying quote, i don't believe he can ever be president again. most of my political energy will be spent working on that exact goal. and just like clock work, he demonstrates exactly how toxic our politics are right now
7:06 pm
blasting the congressman of course and lobbying a threat about well there being nine to go tweeting he is at war with the constitution. adam kinzinger calling him a weak man who prays on fear and then there is the literal toc sis -- toxicity to anti mask rhetoric. two women were arrested after assaulting a host you got to watch this because the whole thing was caught on camera. >> oh my god! [ bleep ]. look, they are believed to be tourists. take that back from where you
7:07 pm
came from. new york city. the 24-year-old hostess asked them for proof of vaccination. which is required for indoor dining in new york city. she was literally doing her job trying to keep patrons safe. according to the police report, the women hit the employee quote multiple times with closed fists and she suffered bruises and scratches to her face, her chest and arms. it is unclear in the video who are the attackers and who is the victim. what is absolutely clear is it is toxic. it is toxic. you have to stop this. you cannot just go into a restaurant if you're not vaccinated. it doesn't work this way. if you don't want to do it, eat outside or stay home. order in. if you're not from new york city and a place that doesn't require that, don't come here. now the restaurant has hired
7:08 pm
private security for the hostess both this weekend so come on, people, you punch out a 24-year-old who asks you for proof of vaccination so you can eat in a restaurant? toxic. that toxicity is infecting us just as surely as covid. and that has got to stop. okay? it's got to stop. if you're driving and a police officer you get pulled over for something, just say can i see your driver's license? you don't beat them up. it's the same thing. if a hostess says i need to see a proof of vaccination, you show it to them. if you don't have one, you leave. it's that simple. that is not all, though when it comes to toxicity. there is toxic information known as lies coming out of the protrump right wing. whitewashing what we saw with our own eyes when those rioters over ran the capitol on january 6th. now they want you to believe,
7:09 pm
you know, it was just like a tourist visit and those who were arrested shouldn't face criminal charges. >> watching the tv footage of those who entered the capitol and walked through statuary hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stations and ropes taking videos and pictures. you know, if you didn't know the tv footage was of january the 6th, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit. >> that was no tourist visit. they may have been visitors to d.c., to the capitol but it was no tourist visit and the charges against them are not excessive. "the new york times" reports nearly half of the more than 600 people charged have been accused only of misdemeanors. at least 50 have pleaded guilty. then there is a toxic lie that the rioters are political pris prisoners. >> we don't actually know who all the political prisoners are and let me tell you the reason
7:10 pm
they have taken political prisoners is they're making an example because they don't want to see the mass protests going on in washington. >> yet, he's a congressman, believe that. he is an elected official. the times reports 15% of those arrested have been denied bail and remained in custody. there is a lot of hyperbole and lies going on and the talk of toxic texas lieutenant governor going on the fox propaganda network to push the racist white theory, here it is. >> they are allow thing year probably 2 million, that's who we apprehend and maybe another million into this country in 18 years if they have two or three children, you're talking about millions and millions and millions of new voters and they will thank the democrats and biden for bringing them here. who do you think they will vote for? >> this is trying to take over the country without firing a shot.this is trying to take ove
7:11 pm
country without firing a shot. >> you know who that is. do i have to explain it to you? do i have to explain it to you? the brown people are coming. the brown wave. the fact is there is a real problem. we have real problems at the border. there are nearly 14,000 migrants crowded underneath the del rio international bridge in texas. the mayor calling it a nuclear bomb alarm. it's a serious problem. don't get me wrong, but you understand why he's doing that? we're not going to solve it by resorting to toxic political battles. >> let's be very clear, the democrat party, the democrats from washington are sick and twisted individuals that are destroying this country right now every single day. >> like i said, toxic. the lies about our politics, lies about race, lies about january 6th, lies about covid, the toxicity is infecting us just as surely as the virus. the toxicity is a virus all its
7:12 pm
own. so i want to bring in cnn's chief correspondent. good evening to you. so good to have you this evening. this was a very tough day for president biden. the fda vote on wide spread boosters and the crisis at the border and infrastructure hitting road blocks. take us through what has gone wrong. that's a -- i don't know, it may take the entire newscast with what happened today. >> don, it's a long list but reminds us there are limits to a president's power and a white house can do. let's start with the fda. the white house announced starting with september 20th next week they thought boosters could be allowed for every person who received a vaccine. the fda said today no. only 65 plus, 65-year-olds and over can receive the vaccine. that is a big shot to what the biden administration was indeed hoping for. but again, it shows the
7:13 pm
limitations of simply what this administration, what this white house can do but you go down the list. this is one of the most critical periods of the biden administration in terms of trying to pass its agenda. we talk a lot about the infrastructure bill and this $3.5 trillion, you know, larger bill, economic agenda that would do everything from free preschool to free community college to climate change. there are questions among democrats about the price tag of this and of course, at the end of the day, as well, suddenly this white house and democratic white house and this president in a fight with the french. the president of france emanuel macron brought the ambassador from the u.s. back to france all because of a dispute over a submarine deal with australia. you might be saying what is going on here? it simply is a sense that a lot of things are converging on this white house. the president actually is not here behind me tonight.
7:14 pm
he's taking the weekend away in delaware at his beach home. certainly a lot on his plate. i'm told we're working throughout the weekend on all of these challenges and don, i can say they're mounting here nine months into his term in office. >> this is what being president is. listen, the most tragic, jeff, bomb strike in afghanistan that killed civilians instead of isis. isis k. members i should say. the president had hailed the strike as evidence of the u.s. can confront threats without having boots on the ground. has the white house responded to this tonight? >> don, utter silence from the white house. utter silence from the president on this. the pentagon did explain this really abrupt reversal calling it a tragic and horrible mistake. the top commander in afghanistan general mckenzie talking about this. the defense secretary, as well, really apologizing for this drone strike. they thought that this was isis-k on august 29th so chi
7:15 pm
yach -- chaotic but turns out it was an afghan man that worked for a u.s. aid group and his family with water in his toyota. the intelligence followed him around for about 12 hours and it was the last missile struck in afghanistan and killed ten civilians. so the pentagon apologized but don, tonight, of course, the commander in chief, the white house has not said a word. >> jeff zeleny, we'll be waiting for word. thank you very much. >> sure. >> we expected a rollout of booster shots for all adults but today's announcement dialled that back. pfizer boosters only for people 65 and over or people who are high risk. so what about younger people? and anybody who got the moderna or j&j shot? and how all of this is going -- how is this all going to sound to people who were already vaccine hesitant? >> the only thing that i have in my arsenal that will make this get better is for you to get

that delicious scramble was microwaved? get outta here. everybody's a skeptic. wright brothers? more like, yeah right, brothers! get outta here! it's not crazy. it's a scramble. just crack an egg. today an fda advisory committee recommending covid boosters for people 65 and older and for those at high risk but
7:20 pm
saying no to pfizer boosters for everyone else and it's a set back for the white house. doctor, thank you for joining us. appreciate it. yes vote for boosters 65 and up and health care workers and people at risk. why this decision and why not for everyone? >> well, don, it wasn't quite the decision i was expecting or hoping for. i would have taken an intermediate position between those two. here is why. we've been talking since the beginning of the year this was going to be a three-dose vaccine. we knew that because we gave the first two doses so close together and when you do that, you don't get long-term durable protection so it was a matter of time before we can expect a third immunization in order to give a really important boost in antibody responses, virus
7:21 pm
neutralizing antibodies. we knew this was coming. on wednesday, the israelis published in the new england journal of medicine an important study showing that those 60 years of age who only receive two doses were going into the hospital at pretty high rates and lots of breakthrough covid infections where as if they got a third immunization, they did a much better and tenfold decline in cases. at a minimum, i would have thought they would have brought that down to 60 years of age and then today, the centers for disease control and their mmwr reports put out information showing that the decline in effectiveness of the vaccine had gone from over 90% to 77% and the reason that's important is because with all those breakthrough cases we're seeing presumably a lot of long covid. we've learned so much about long covid in the last year and a
7:22 pm
half including an important study from the u.k. looking at people 40 and up showing gray matter, brain degeneration and cognitive declines that resemble those who are much older. so on that basis, i would have thought we would have at least gone down to 40 years of age to prevent the impact of long covid but there was no discussion i heard in the meeting. i think they missed that component. so we'll see how it goes. this is an advisory group. we'll see if the cdc goes along with it. i think they probably will but i'd expect over time as we collect more data that we'll see a mid course correction in that recommendation. >> so your compromise is everybody 40 years and older, everyone get a booster. is that your compromise? >> that's right. >> okay. >> i understand the high risk groups. the problem is who is the high risk group will be very squishing and leaking and open to interpretation. i think unless we can kind of put brackets around that, it will be confusing for a lot of
7:23 pm
people. >> won't you get people going in and saying i'm diabetic and making up something and who will question them in getting a booster shot? am i wrong? >> i don't know how you operationalize that that adds to the complexity so we'll see. there is still a couple more steps left. the fda actually has to make a formal recommendation as i say, the advisory and then this goes to the centers for disease control advisory committee on immunization practices so presumably between those two gates, we'll get additional clarity. >> let me ask you to drill down a more specific question that relates to what i asked. if people are seeking out a third dose on their own, is that harmful? should they not do that? >> well, the reason that i think the committee was quite conservative in making the recommendation was they had their eyes myocarditis as a
7:24 pm
complication. we've seen it in young people around 12 per million. so one in 79,000, 1 in 80,000 and i think they wanteded to s more data by convincing themselves by giving a third immunization that rate doesn't go up. i doubt it will but you never know but presumably, there is enough doubt there and that rate was higher after the second dose than the first dose so the third dose really would top it off. again, i don't think so. i think that was a big reason they held off a bit and why you want to be careful about going too rogue on this. >> you mentioned from going from 90%fecteffectiveness to 71%. so there is new data that was released today. i want to put out what you said that shows moderna's vaccine is more effective than pfizer in keeping people out of the hospital. moderna provides 93% protection, pfizer provides 88%, johnson &
7:25 pm
johnson 71%. they're all good at keeping people out of the hospital but how should people interpret these differences? you said it's in the 70s. that still does provide protection. obviously, it's not as good as 90s, but, you know. >> yeah, i think the committee focused a lot on hospitalizations and deaths and i understand that but i think there could have been more consideration to long covid and the devastating neurological implications and i think that's got to be factored into this. with the moderna vaccine, it may be holding up a little bit better and part of the reason is maybe there is more mnra in the vaccine than the pfizer and space it an extra week account. that may account for it. moderna is going to apply or has applied for a third immunization as well and it will be considered separately. we'll also be looking at a second immunization, second dose of the j&j vaccine which i
7:26 pm
always look at the data early on from the phase one and phase two data, i thought that was the two-dose vaccine, as well. >> listen, this is the last question. i hear people and it just disturbs me because i want people to be informed when they say this is -- this vaccine is new and whatever. the mrna technology is not a tu n -- new technology, right? this has been worked on for awhile. the covid-19 vaccine, right, because it's novel is a novel virus, it's new but the technology through which this was developed is not something that was developed overnight. >> there is two pieces to this. first of all, we've been working on coronavirus vaccines for over a decade. in our group and others, we're able to determine that the spike protein is the target, the appropriate target of the vaccine. how you deliver the spike protein, how you induce virus neutralizing antibodies so off the bat, that's a decade of research that went into this, which is a time frame that goes
7:27 pm
along with other vaccines and then, you have the fact that the discovery that mrna can induce an immune response, that discovery was made in 1961. this builds on decades of research. i think part of the problem, don, was when the ceos released press releases, you know, when they're sending out a press release, they're not writing them for you or me but shareholders and tend to spectacularize their accomplishments and ordinarily, that works for a pharma company but tone death to the fact we have a very aggressive anti vaccine movement that's looking for any excuse to create discord and to provide very aggressive anti vaccine disinformation, and that's working against us now. >> part of the technology in the 1960s, the other one a decade for coronavirus -- a decade. so it's not just something that was developed overnight, people. all right? those are the facts.
7:28 pm

7:33 pm
it's getting close. we're hours away from the rally in support of the january 6th riot ers and there are concerns for the violence. the head of the police force says their department is ready to make sure the rally is peaceful and prepared to move as quickly as possible if violence does break out. let's discuss cnn law enforcement analyst charles ramsey is here, the former washington d.c. police chief, right? we should make sure we point that out. and also chris, the former fbi assistant director for the criminal investigative division. we need both gentlemen here. chief, i'll start with you. d.c. police are fully activated, temporary fencing at the white house and road closures and the tsa ramping up security. are the appropriate steps being taken to prevent another riot? >> i think so. i haven't seen the operational plan but clearly, they are on high alert. fully activated both the capitol police, metropolitan police and
7:34 pm
brought in agencies in the national capitol region. it seems like this time around the intelligence is being shared. federal and disseminated to the rank and file. i think they are as prepared as they can. >> the department of homeland of security issuing a warning for the potential of violence for people involved or opposed to the january 6th, j-6th rally for justice for j-6th rally. after what happened in january, officials can't be sure, right? >> right. after what happened on january 6th, they will prepare for the worst and i know chief ramsey knows, tom, as well as i do, he's the new capitol police chief. he will not be caught flat footed, i can guarantee you that. it will not surprise me if the protesters weren't out numbered by law enforcement as was just mentioned intelligence is flowing this time. i don't think there is any question who is in charge.
7:35 pm
the incident command is set up. the fence is up. you know, i really don't expect to see anything close to what we saw on january 6th. >> chief ramsey, capitol hill police chief tom mandra talked about the toll january 6th took on the front line officers. this is what he said. >> we're trying to get in front of every single police officer in the u.s. capitol police department and the reason was to brief them on our plan and the whole purpose behind that was to instill confidence that the department has prepared this -- has prepared for this event and that they will have the resources to training, the equipment and we will have the staffing that we need so that everyone including the police officers working this event can remain safe. >> so ptsd after january 6th for many of these officers, i mean, it's real. how important is it that these
7:36 pm
officers feel prepared and supported by their department? >> it's incredibly important and tom manger is one of the best chiefs in the country. when i came to d.c. in '98, he was the cheer of fairfax county police so we worked together for over 20 years. i know what his capabilities are as we said earlier, he's not going to get caught flat footed. the ckcome money case with the rank and file, they know they have enough help and support. this isn't going to happen again like it did on january 6th. they are not getting inside of the capitol. i can guarantee you that. it doesn't mean we won't have issues outside because npd has to be alert and aware but i'm sure they have mobile platoons ready to move wherever they should be should trouble pop up. >> there say bit of news i want to ask you about, chris. that's this high ranking capitol police officer, vocal donald trump supporter told those under his command not to wear riot
7:37 pm
gear on january 6th. that is according to internal documents reviewed by cnn that detail allegations submitted to an officer tip line. a lieutenant who gave the tip believes at least one officer was sent to the hospital because of that decision. what action should be taken against that officer? >> well, if that is true, that's egregious and i think at minimum he should be fired. i mean, you should -- a man in a leadership position in the capitol police under those circumstances displaying that kind of behavior i think is almost borderline prosecutable. >> do you agree, chief? >> well, i mean, i don't know enough about the circumstances under which he said that. it certainly does make sense in light of what we know happened on january 6th. that's for sure. i've been in 1situations a protester tried to start a soft uniform and always elevate to that but i don't know the
7:38 pm
circumstances if he did it because in somehow he was connected with this group, sympathetic to this group or what have you, that's a different ball game then yeah, there should be disciplinary reasons. if that's not the reason, that's different. you have to look from a different perspective. >> chief ramsey, chris, thank you so much. appreciate it. retiring gop congressman who voted to impeach said the former president is a cancer to the country and that's quote. now more members of his party are weighing in.

7:43 pm
joining me now to discuss is matthew dowd a former advisor to george w. bush and the author of the new book revelations on the river. thank you for joining us. i don't know why we care what donald trump says. anyways. good evening. i mean, seriously. if he said something positive about something that actually made sense, then that would be news. but that he said something toxic and ignorant is certainly not news after all these years. >> he's consistent. he's consistent. >> he's consistently ignorignor. so ctrump didn't drain the swam. he made it radio active, no? >> oh, well, absolutely. he made it radio active for the republican party but i think the republican party there was radiation fermenting before donald trump showed up which is why the got dzilla emerged from the swamp and tried to destroy
7:44 pm
democracy. so republicans have only themselves to blame of how they ended up in this place and people like the congressman who decided not to run for e reel reelection is a unicorn and understands like many republicans that that is now the party all in 100% the party is the party of what trump represents. >> does the departure of lawmakers like gonzalez open the door for another qanon and big lie believing radical just to step right in? >> well, i think even if he hadn't left he would probably have been beaten by a qanon, n non-science, fnon-truth. that's what the republicans face today. the republicans, i think about this. they're not afraid of donald trump and what donald trump would do or whether or not he'd send out a statement or whatever. they're afraid of their own voters and that's really what this is about.
7:45 pm
they're afraid of the radicalization of their voters and that radicalization is done by gop leaders like donald trump but things like fox news and own and brighteitbart. they radicalized and enlightened moderate republicans who stand for the country, can't survive anymore, don. they just can't survive anymore in that party. >> yeah. gop congress woman speaking of moderate, liz cheney tweeting that and actually, she's very conservative but tweeting trump is at war over his gonzalez comments and adam king zinger saying trump is a weak man that prays on fear. knowing my legacy was destroyed. i mean, that is a great quote adam kinzinger by the way. it like the hunger games. how long can they hold on?
7:46 pm
>> well, i think the question for them, people like adam kinzinger and liz cheney who have stood on principle against donald trump, the question they have to ask themselves is do they belong to a political party that no longer exists, the party they used to think existed no longer exists and a party they're out of step with. i think they are. i think everything is pointed in that direction. i think it's going to be very difficult for those two to survive in the party. so i think they have to say what can we do and my view point, don, this is my view point, i think we need to enlightening political parties that are for the constitution. we don't have those today. there is only one party that supports the constitution, the democrats and support the idea of the common good. the republicans don't. either you'll go as former republicans enjoying with the democrats or you facilitate or enable what is going on in the republican party. the longer you try to maintain a position until the republican party in my view, makes it worse. you're not going to change
7:47 pm
what's already changed. >> yeah, i don't know why -- i'm not quite understanding why people don't understand that. maybe it just they do but don't want to. the democratic speaker of the house nancy pelosi weighing in on the gop drifting further right this week. take a listen to this. >> i would say to my republican friends and i do have some, take back your party. don't let your party be hijacked by a cult. especially, that is what is happening and it isn't good for the country. >> listen, she's talking about a cult of personality, not the first to say there is a pretense that any longer that policy matters to republicans. it's really trump or nothing and the criticism from republicans is that, you know, the democratic party moved too far to the left, it's really the republican party that's moved to the extreme right and become the party of trump but -- if they
7:48 pm
don't believe it, they're too afraid to speak out about it, which may be worse. >> well, you know, as i listen to nancy as speaker pelosi, she's done a yeoman's work of trying to stand in the door and protect our democracy as it exists but i think one thing she's wrong about is there is no possible way any republican right now can fix the republican party. the only fix to the republican party today is they lose so badly in a series of elections, they have to fix to survive and i think that's the point we're at and everybody, democrats and republicans has to acknowledge that place we are and that ficfix of it. that to me is the path once we acknowledge that and come to accept that, then the question becomes what do you do to fix it because as we've been talking about, the party, the republican party, we want, we need two vibrant enlightened parties.

as much as people think the democratic party moved, the fight is not over issues or policies specifics. we can all argue about those later. the fight is between party that believes in democracy and a party that no longer believes in democracy. that's the fight today. i make it a kin to is your house on fire? we need to put the fire out and then we can argue over what color we'll paint the bathroom walls and whether or not we'll have marble in the kitchen. those are secondary questions to the fight in the existence of democracy and the principles and ideas the kconstitution was founded. that's the fight. everything else pails to that. >> no fix. no fix for the republican party. thank you. >> no fix. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. >> a new book says the former president's top general that's not shocking, is it? but someone at least said in the book and it happened months before january 6th.
