6:07 am
to train, organize and carry out an attack. kate? chris? >> barbara, thanks so much. clearly a developing situation as we speak. now we want to get you an updated on stunning new developments in the widening manhunt for murder and kidnapping suspect james dimaggio, a story we continue to follow closely, the kaleical man who police say murdered her friend and kidnapped her 16-year-old daughter and possibly 8-year-old son. investigators say dimaggio may have rigged his car with explosives and this morning we're hearing exclusively from the abducted girl's heartbroken grandparents. miguel marquez is live in san diego. >> reporter: good morning, kate. these are the parents of christina anderson who was killed. it's an ordinary family in an extraordinary situation. they want to grieve for their dead but they know this 16-year-old might be out there. there are hundreds of tips, every single one of them representing hope.
6:08 am
this morning, more sightings, more concern about the fate of 16-year-old hannah anderson in the hands of her alleged abductor james dimaggio. dozens of sightings of the dark blue nissan versa outside of california, from mexico to the canadian border, at this seattle emergency call center, nine out of ten calls related to hannah han d hannah anderson. investigators say he may have built his own explosives, ditched his car wiring it to explode, urging extreme caution. >> we want to put out for civilian and officer safety if you see this car do not approach it but call law enforcement. >> reporter: speaking exclusively to cnn, sarah and ralph brits, mother and stepfather grandparents to hannah anderson made a plea.
6:09 am
>> please let her home. >> let her back. >> she needs to be home. >> they believe with 100% hope that she is alive and well but with ethan they fear the worst. >> little e is just the best guy you could imagine, our little fisherman and hannah our honey bunny. >> reporter: grandparents are preparing for one funeral, possibly two. >> you never plan to bury your child, and you never plan to fwur bury your grandchildren, if that's what it comes to. it's something we can't cope with. >> reporter: so far they are devoting to the hope their granddaughter is alive and they will soon be reunited. the family also says that the house that mr. dimaggio was
6:10 am
being foreclosed on he begged christina anderson to bring the kids up for one last weekend adding to their suspicion this may have been one big plan on his part. this family is sitting, waiting, hoping that one tip leads them to hannah's safe return. >> miguel you make an important point, the family dealing with the pain of having someone die and also the anxiety and fear of where else another family member is, all of it adding to the urgency of the situation. thank you for the reporting. let's continue the conversation with steve moore, a former fbi agent, specializing in the investigation of prosecution of violent crime, joining us live from los angeles. i know it's early out there, steve so thank you for joining us. let's deal with the latest information that dimaggio may have rigged his car with explosives. how would police know that? >> likely what you're going to do is try to figure out what he's done in the last few weeks, months before this kidnapping. they may have found explosives
6:11 am
or just some detrious of the explosives at his house or purchase records. >> and from what you understand of this situation any picture yet of the man authorities are dealing with? >> i think nothing that i've seen, i mean close friends are saying this doesn't seem like him. i have trouble believing that there wasn't some kind of leakage at some time about this kind of possible behavior. >> now, he's been on the run since sunday/monday, right, the fire was sunday, the official manhunt began monday. is that a sign that there was a plan afoot or just a reflection of the difficulty in locating anyone in these situations? >> it's, i think if you're talking about a plan on his part there's obviously a plan that he's been working on for about four or five months, the plan for law enforcement is just expanding out the net, as time goes on. >> the best way to find him, is it going to be the tips? is it going to be looking at who
6:12 am
he is and his past or is it going to be the electronic footprint, credit cards, cell phones, atm usage? >> i think it's going to be one of the first two. it's either going to be tips or going back over as i said the last few weeks and months before the kidnapping, because that will give you an idea of his planning, of his thought process. as far as the electronic stuff, i think that would have already borne fruit had he been using those cards. >> steve, we often talk in these situations the first 24 to 48 hours of a kidnapping are vital in terms of the recovery of the victim alive, but given that hannah's 16, does that expand the envelope here and give us reason for hope, even as time passes? >> i personally think it expands the envelope quite a bit. this guy, while not rational, does not want to lose hannah. this is not a use and throw away type thing as horrible as that sounds.
6:13 am
he has feelings towards her and that's going to work in her favor. >> we know police won't be telling everything that they know to keep their cards close to the vest, makes sense. appeal to the man to do the right thing, do you think they're helpful in. >> i think they're helpful. they can't hurt. i don't expect them to be fruit i feel. >> thank you very much, steve moore in los angeles appreciate the perspective this morning. >> thanks. next hour we'll hear from a friend of james dimaggio the man suspected of burning down the home, killing the mother, kidnapping possibility the child and 16-year-old hannah. we're also going to hear with the news his children are gone and the murder of his wife. it is an uphill battle for crews fighting the silver fire in riverside, california.

6:31 am
vacation, other than the obvious why not because reporters have a lot to ask him. >> i think you've said it there, he's about to leave on vacation, and since we last heard from him, there has been the worldwide terror alert, the closing of the embassies. he has talked about washington being involved in investigating phony scandals, the economy has moved but not that well. edward snowden has put a big gap between the u.s. and russia, which was already a fairly big gap so there's a lot of material out there, and before he goes off on vacation, remember this has been a week of really high tension in the middle east and still a lot of back and forth about what the u.s. knows, what it doesn't know, and now we see what's going on in pakistan as well with the terror alert there at one of the missions. so there's i think if the president went off on vacation without addressing some of these things, it would be seen as a
6:32 am
mistake, and i think he wants to set the table for the big fights in the fall and he's been doing that out on the road and here is a chance for him to do it in the white house briefing room. >> that's an excellent way of putting it. also, when the president goes into these press conferences, you know, we all know he goes in with a message. he can get asked anything but he always has a message. what do you think the message is going in? you said there are so many questions out there right now. >> you know, i'm a little torn here. i think he really does want to talk about the economy but the most immediate topic i think on his plate has got to be what's going on in terms of terrorism and the closing of the embassies. i think there has to be some settling words there, letting the american people know i'm on top of this, i can do it. it seems to me that safety of your citizens is probably the first thing a poll significance
6:33 am
wants to assure them of so that would be my guess. again the white house is itching for this fight over the economy. >> also on russia, don't you think it's a tenuous situation with russia, it's a tense relationship but does he also have to be careful to not further damage the relationship with russia, just after announcing they're not going to do the one on one, but also being strong and answering to the kind of criticisms that he hasn't stood up enough to russia from here at home? >> sure. i mean diplomacy with any country and in particular with russia is always that delicate balance between following through and remember, there's weeks that snowden spent in the airport in russia. the u.s. just was warning after warning, there were calls to the very top of the russian hierarchy saying send him back, but there were previous problems. i think the president's also a tiny bit trapped by his own
6:34 am
rhetoric in the first campaign, he and hillary clinton clashed over how one approached one's enemies which at this motor, yes, russia still is, but it's someone that we need alliances with, particularly when it comes to things like syria, not to mention nuclear weapons that have already been deployed, so he said at that time, to say that not talking to your enemies is punishment is ridiculous. it's not. so i think the not talking is something that this president doesn't like, so it will be interesting to see, because -- listen, one of his legacies or one of his legacies that he would like would be to bring down those nuclear arsenals. you can't do that unless the other person's at the table and that's russia. >> all right, candy, have a great weekend. you can catch candy crowley "state of the union" every sunday right here on cnn. and that's the problem with the situation with russia is the not talking. you want to prove your point but russia is so creditical to some

7:10 am
>> nothing unusual. it was pretty much the same as he normally is. there were some i believe messages on facebook that were a little unusual but you know, nobody really thought anything about it at the time. so there's nothing really clear from them that would indicate that any of this would have happened. >> that's the big curiosity, right, how somebody does this. what's going on with them. do you have any insight into who this man is and what he was about that could be a clue as to how he could do something like what is alleged? >> well, you know, what he's been claimed or allegedly done doesn't really match with what the person that i know and i know that that sounds like something you hear often when somebody goes, has some sort of break or psychotic break and ends up doing something crazy or in this case, you know, he's being allegedly accused of kidnapping and arson and murder,
7:11 am
that doesn't match with the jim that i know and so just surprised as well as his sister are puzzled by this. they don't believe the facts represented by the media believe what has led up to this and how jim has acted in the past >> do you have any reason not to believe these reports? you understand how much is at stake, a mother is gone, a child probably gone, a 16-year-old is missing. this is a horrible situation, all fingers pointing at him. do you have any other explanation? >> yeah, there is no good end to this story. it's already a huge tragedy and i wouldn't want any of my comments to be taken out of context and thought of that i'm insincere in saying that i really care deeply for the people who have died and it's a horrible loss and this is a tragedy no matter what happens. at the same point it seems like how can we make statements about jim that are so extreme when
7:12 am
they have no idea where he is in america. one minute he's going to canada, then in texas and nevada and now he's rigged his car with bombs. how would they know if they can't find him or the car? it seems to me there's like a desperate attempt by law enforcement to find him which i'm happy for, i hope they find him and certainly hope they find the girl as well alive and in good health and that -- >> andrew, let me ask you, do you remember your friend ever talking to you about the andersons, about this girl, about this family that he was so close to? >> you know, i've had indirect conversations about it, and one of the things that laura robinson, his sister, had asked me to speak about on tv, as well as barry, that even barry's kids -- i was on cnn last night and they were like, you know, thank you for speaking up a little bit about uncle jim because he's actually their uncle, and they feel that he's
7:13 am
sort of been taken out of context and that a lot of the things that are happening don't make sense to them. this has shocked everybody. i know everybody store yo typically when somebody goes off the deep end it's the nice quiet guy nobody expects to do something like this but truly there's things that don't match up from what we know on our side from information that we've heard and i don't want to make it sides here. obviously there's no good conclusion at the end of this mo matter what happens. we'd definitely like to see jim come back as well and we're hoping that the allegations against him are false and that hopefully that there's another side to the story. >> it would be great if there were a better explanation but right now it is not looking that way, mr. spanswick but we appreciate your perspective. thank you for joining us on "new day." later on we'll talk to brett anderson, the children's father and he'll tell us how he's making it through and what's

keeping him in the game right now. to another story, big game changer potentially, game changing announcement in the war on malaria. for the first time ever, scientists say a new vaccine has proven 100% effective in trials. more than 200 million people, just think of that number, more than 200 million people contract this mosquito-borne illness each year, hundreds of thousands die. that shows you just how important this breakthrough could be. dr. sanjay gupta is here to talk more about this. this is big news, sanjay, talk about how big of an impact this would make. >> this is big news. if anyone's traveled to areas where malaria is indemic, and has to take the pills, you'll understand, because the numbers nearly 1 million deaths and so many people at risk. this in part was a joint project, the u.s. navy is involved, significant interest from the military to protect people across their people across seas and they also did a
7:15 am
small study to start with just about three dozen people or so got vaccinated so it is pretty small. as you mentioned, very, very effective. 100% effective if people got a series of five shots a month apart. so over five months they got five shots. it's not an easy vaccine but there is a lot of excitement, as you say, kate. >> a lot of excitement but you hit it right there, it's given intravenously so you have to get a vaccination. doesn't sound like it's easy for just kind of the typical traveler at the moment. it's too early in the stage, right? >> yes. people are used to vaccines, they get a shot that goes under the skin or in the muscle. this is intravenous in the vein and a series of shots over five months. if i had to project the future this is eight to ten years away, they have to get through several more studies and make sure they can replicate this. it will take a while but again if it's available, this is for people who are obviously at risk right now which is billions of
7:16 am
people but also a lot of travelers who might take advantage. >> also you mentioned the navy is part of this, that is important to point out. many of our servicemembers are in these areas and they have to take the anti-malarials all the time and there are tough and potentially damaging side effects. this could be a game changer for our service members and that's important to point out as well. >> as well. malarium they have to take the medications overseas. it is required. there was an fda report that says there could be long-term neurological damage so the pills and medications don't come without risks. >> early stages but potentially great news. sanjay gupta, great to see you, doctor. >> you, too. a lot of news developing at this hour. over to michaela, the expanding threat another consulate being closed.

anybody, loved everybody. he was just my buddy, and hannah was just a beautiful, beautiful girl, very, very good student, hundreds and hundreds of friends and there's nothing bad to say about my kids. they never did anything to anybody, always wonderful. >> when you found out that they found your wife in the house, and that she's gone, could you believe it? >> no, i could not believe it. i can't fathom what happened in jim's head, what happened. he obviously just lost it. >> they are going through this difficult forensic analysis of what happened inside the house. they know they found your wife there. there's another body they're trying to figure out. is not knowing the most difficult part for you right now?
7:36 am
>> i know that they're looking for dna and everything, but i hope that's not my boy but i have to kind of think that it is. that's kind of my mind-set right now, so right now a lot of focus is on trying to get my daughter back alive. >> what's the hardest thing for you emotionally in dealing with this? >> i believe the hardest thing emotionally is still to come when i have to go and start -- cleaning out their apartments and rooms. but i have a lot of support here with me and we'll try get through it. >> look our hope is that the pain that mr. anderson is going through, the reason he's coming
7:37 am
on tv is he wants to keep it fresh in everybody's mind right now because james dimaggio is out there, hannah is out there and he's hoping that the best chance is that one of you see something, one of you sees the vehicle, sees a picture, connects it with people and calls the authorities, and that's why he's keeping hope alive for him right now, not dealing with everything that's so tragic in front of him so we'll keep telling the story until hopefully we get a good answer. >> obviously no one can imagine the pain he's going through. this is his last, last bit of hope is that he will be able to get his daughter at least back safely. it's ju unimaginable. my heart goes out to him. >> we will be there for him. >> we will. a strange twist in a 50-year-old cold case. the fbi is investigating a kidnapping case after a new dna test. newborn baby is miraculously reunited with his family. 49-year-old man is left
7:38 am
wondering who he really is and police are scrambling to find out what really happened. cnn's ted rowlands is in chicago picking this up part of the story. amazing tale. >> reporter: absolutely. paul fronzack's parents never told him about his past until he stumbled on a box of old newspaper clippings. at the time they said don't worry about it, paul, you are who you are. he said it nagged him so a few months ago he got a dna test and figured out he actually wasn't who he thought he was. >> i think it would be a great thing in the end. >> reporter: paul fronzack is determined to find out who he really is. his story goes back to april, 1964 at michael reese hospital in chicago. chester and dora fronzack were celebrating the birth of their baby named paul when a woman posing as a nurse kidnapped the 1-day-old. as police searched, the
7:39 am
heartbroken parents could do nothing but wait. just over a year later this little boy was found abandoned in newark, new jersey. investigators thought he might be baby paul because his ears were similar but with dna testing unavailable, they couldn't just hand him over. the fronczak were sure he was his. the baby grew up as paul fronczak but as an adult decades later living in las vegas with a family of his own paul decided to take a dna test because he'd always had questions. >> and i started thinking honestly, what are the chances that out of the kidnapped baby from chicago that i am their kidnapped child, found in new jersey two and a half years later? it's pretty wild. >> reporter: the results confirm that paul actually wasn't the baby stolen from the hospital. he now wants to find out his
7:40 am
true identity and now, nearly 50 years later, because of paul's dna test, the fbi has reopened the case in an effort to possibly find the real paul fronczak, a little baby stolen in 1964. >> i just, i think it would be really cool if we actually found the real kidnapped baby. >> reporter: paul's parents don't want any media attention, they're in their 80s. they support his efforts. he is getting help from ancestry.com, he's apparently found some distant cousins to reconnect with. the fbi found the old files and they are going to start to search for that still missing baby who is now 49 years old. kate and chris, it is an amazing story. >> amazing story. thank you so much, ted, for bringing it to us. talk about starting all over again. >> yes. >> he obviously loves his family that he grew up with but wow. >> i mean obviously that's the bond with them is there but i can't get my head around it.
7:41 am
there's another baby then also, right? his parents if he's not his parents' baby where is the baby they thought they had? >> likely that baby, 49-year-old person has no clue. >> and that baby is not the kidnapped baby. that's a bizarre story. >> we'll follow that one closely. we'll take a break and maybe help me figure out half of that. coming up on "new day" these extreme videos from a furious pennsylvania police chief. what do you see here, just free speech, just talking about gun control or is it unworthy of his office? we'll get his side in a live exclusive interview. another story we're following, california police still looking for the wife of a scientology leader after actress leah remini files a missing persons report. nope eeeeh... oh, guys

nlgtsds rt welt lo nlgtsds. welcome back to "new day." there are reports leah remini filed a missing persons report for the wife of the church's leader. pamela brown is following the story. >> ever since leah remini left the church of scientology speculation as to why she said. her sister said it started when remini questioned the whereabouts of her friend, michelle miscavige, wife of david miss calf inlg. in response the church is calling her latest action ill-advised, ludicrous self-promotion. the church of scientology lashing out at former "king of queens" star and talk show host leah remini after she cut ties with the church and filed a missing persons report for
7:46 am
shelly miscavige. mississip miscavige was reporte not been seen in public for several years. her sister's problems with scientology started when she asked david miss cacavige about wife's whereabouts at the wedding of katie holmes and tom cruise. that question led to others and ultimate lilleyia leaving scientology. >> if she's not anywhere weird, produce her. >> right. >> you know what i mean, just produce her. why is it so whacky? it's whacky because you won't answer the question. you won't produce her. because leah has been like, give me her number, let me call her. where is she? >> early friday morning a commander with the lapd told cnn they followed up on the report and shelly miscavige is fine.
7:47 am
detectives had a face-to-face and said she is not being held against her will. the case is now closed. the church of scientology released a statement friday morning saying in part "the entire episode was nothing more than a publicity stunt for ms. remini, rather than move on with her life and career, ms. remini has aligned herself with a handful of untrustworthy lunatic tabloid sources who obsessively harass the church to advance their selfish agendas." the church of scientology says the missing person's report has been nothing more than a distraction for the lapd. the question remains where is shelly miscavige. the church of scientology said she is doing just fine and is still very active in the church as she has always been. so not exactly answering the question about where she is but saying she's fine. the saga could continue though. leah remini is expected to write a tell-all book about her time in the scientology church.

8:02 am
and the elderly. the currents were so strong that it forced this construction crane up on to an already saturated landing. in tennessee it was a devastating scene with people helpless on rooftops. in davidson county, dozens had to be rescued, including this young girl. and just take a look at this building in nashville. it literally broke in half under the pressure of a nearby overflowing creek. on the highway cars were left drifting in the current. and then this fire fighting scene, two firefighters tethered would a rope, carefully carrying a 5-week-old baby through a river of water. it's gripping at least a dozen states. in benton county, arkansas, officials put out an emergency disaster declaration after thunderstorms dumped ten inches of rain. one victim had to pile her

8:05 am
even next week. >> watching this for days. >> big news breaking overnight. specific threats prompting the state department to evacuate the u.s. consulate. all of the diplomats there have been removed. barbara starr is live at the pentagon. >> u.s. diplomats pulled out of the u.s. embassy in lahore, pakistan. they don't know, however, the obvious question, is it tied to this overall al qaeda threat we've been talking about. lahore, pakistan where this is happening is home to another terrorist group, the l.e.t., very virulent, very anti-u.s., anti-india and their leader was out in town by all accounts

8:07 am
exclusively to cnn. miguel marquez is live in san diego. >> reporter: good morning, chris. this family is in such an extraordinary situation. they want to grieve for the dead in their family but they also are keeping hope alive that 16-year-old hannah is alive and they will be reunited with her. all of this as tons and tons of tips are pouring in, every single one of them representing a little bit of hope for this family. this morning more sightings, more concern about the fate of 16-year-old hannah anderson in the hands of her alleged abductor. at this seattle emergency call center, nine out of ten calls related to hannah anderson. >> it's obviously a very high priority for us. >> reporter: investigators saying dimaggio may have built his own explosives, ditched his own car, wiring it to explode,
8:08 am
urging extreme caution. >> we want to put out for civilian safety, officer safety, if you see this car do not approach it but call law enforcement. >> reporter: this as the human toll is taking its effect. mother and stepfather of christina anderson, grandparents to hannah and ethan, make a desperate appeal. >> please let hannah go. >> let her come back. >> we need her home, she needs to be home. >> reporter: they believe with 100% certainty hannah is alive. they hold out hope 8-year-old ethan is alive as well but they fear the worst. >> little e is -- he's just the best little guy you could imagine, mr. fish areman. hann -- fisherman. hannah, our honey bunny. >> now they are planning one

8:10 am
updates as we can to get that information out there so people can track down this car, track down dimaggio and also find hannah. one of the latest things we've learned is there is concern we could have rigged his car with explosives, that he has explosives on him. what leads you to believe that. >> we have a heightened concern that based on the evidence that we've been collecting at the scene all week long, our investigators have been sifting through literally tons of debris and we're concerned that -- well, let me just say we don't hold anything past this person. we think that he's capable of anything at this point. we do have evidence at the scene that has raised our concern that there are explosives. so this is a very well planned event so we have to use that and
8:11 am
use an abundance of caution. >> and it seems that there was a long preplanned event? >> absolutely. >> now, let me ask you this. we had a friend of dimaggio's on earlier in the show and he said that he just could not believe that his friend james dimaggio would do something like this. do you have any reason to believe that anyone else is involved? >> no, ma'am, we don't. we have warrant issued listing him as the prime suspect. we are not looking at anybody else. >> let's talk about where you guys are looking. the area you're searching is really broad. basically you're looking on the west coast from mexico to canada at this point. has the search area narrowed from where people should be keeping an eye out for this car, for these people? >> unfortunately, no.
8:12 am
we have a large net that we've cast but we're looking at any leads, as you mentioned, from canada all through the west coast especially and on up into canada. we don't know where he is. >> of course it's impossible to understand the motivation to do something so horrific like this. you said in an interview that dimaggio may have had some unusual infatuation with young hannah anderson. brett anderson was on our show and said he didn't know anything like that. he said if he or her mother had known anything, they would have broken ties, they would never have been able to be near him. what more can you tell me about this? >> absolutely. we feel the same way that had the parents been aware of anything, that that is the case, they would have broken it up. we are following up on information that we've received from witnesses that that is a possibility, that he had an undue infatuation with hannah. so we have to look at that.
8:13 am
we have to look at that as being part of the profile, part of the puzzle that we're trying to piece together here. >> can you deal with the why later. first things first, you need to find him and you need to find hannah anderson. we're going to put the information are where our viewers can call. if you see anything, and we'll also put the pictures up and you can of course put that on our web site as well. they say the public is really the best chance of finding these people right now. captain, thank you very much for coming in this morning. >> all right, we're following that. we're going to stay on it. and there's a lot of other news developing as well. >> good morning to you. more than a dozen buildings and homes destroyed. 14,000 acres burned. firefighters aren't even close to containing a raging wildfire in riverside county, california. the fire has forced hundreds to evacuate near palm springs. thatpla blaze just 20% containe.

>> and some in town are -- >> god forbid an unfortunate incident should occur and the borough could be sued, it would be a major issue. >> they talked about what to do with kessler. a throng of people showed up with guns and some in town said they felt intimidated. they didn't stop them from suspending him from using firearms on the video.
8:21 am
>> so why would the town's police chief and only officer make those angry sounding videos to begin with? he said it was to highlight his constitutional right to bear arms and freedom of speech, though even some of his supporters say it's his way with words that's the problem. what kind of support to you believe the chief has here? >> again, it's a 50/50. people want to support him but due to the language he chose to use there, they sort of want to step back away from it. >> now the question is what's the future for the chief when his suspension is over? joe johns, washington. >> the police chief and his attorney join me this morning. can you hear me okay? >> good morning. >> obviously gun laws get a lot
8:22 am
of people, sportsmen, law enforcement upset, the regulations and certainly you talk a lot about your constitutional rights. but given everything that's happened so far and you are the police chief, do you have any regrets about how you went about these videos? >> no, i do not. i expressed my first amendment right and my second amendment right. i have no regret. >> do you believe that the way you went about it is why people are upset, worried about you in the community because you are the police chief, not just some other person who is upset about gun laws? >> well, they have the right to voice their opinions under the constitution and i applaud them for that. >> chris, i think that also if the chief did not go about it in the manner that he did, he would have not have caused the attention that needed to be caused to his plight, which is protection of both the first and second amendment. >> explain this to me, chief. why do you see this as the best way for people to stand their
8:23 am
right to free speech and their right to bear arms? >> well, you know, i could have did a video and just said, hey, this is chief kessler, you know, our rights are being -- i believe our rights are being infringed upon for the second amendment and nobody would have gave it a second look. i did it in a way where i was actually able to capture the attention of a lot of people. some people didn't like it, some people liked it, some people support it, some people doesn't support it. but it started a conversation as to what's going on in our country. i mean, i'm sure you're well aware of all the so-called scandals that are going on right now within our government system and people are looking for some kind of direction. i'm not saying i'm the person to lead in any way, shape or form.
8:24 am
i'm just saying i brought my statement out to the public so they would realize, hey, there's more going on than you realize and hopefully more people wake up and exercise their constitution an rights and hopefully they do it at the ballot box. >> the obvious criticism is you are projecting an image that goes to the problem, not the solution, right? you're threatening people co, i a very lot of menacing image. lot of sportsmen say it's projecting the wrong image, this sort of angry suggestion of anti-vigilism against gun laws. >> again, it's different the way the chief had gone about it where if he had just been mundane or vanilla, he would not have caused any attention. being the devil's advocate, we
8:25 am
understand the media and other individuals who are stating they're against this and that's appropriate and the chief understands and accepts it. but with that said, he also believes and i believe as well that if it wasn't done in that manner, you wouldn't have had any attention to it, we wouldn't be doing this interview this morning. furthermore, it was done in a way, chris, that you would have had to actually seek out this video, whereby you have to google chief kessler and you have to seek it out whereby it wouldn't done in the public sector, wouldn't done at a school board meeting. and furthermore, the individual probably i would say 95% of them knew what they were watching even before they watched it. >> but the intersection of you two gentlemen's professional paths, you're a lawyer, you're a public servant, police officer, just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean it's right to do it. nobody is going to argue that you have your right to make your video but the question is should you be the police chief and make

videos like this. do you understand why some are now concerned that you're not fit for the office? >> yes, and, you know, i applaud them for exercising their constitutional rights and they're entitled to their opinion, just like i'm entitled to my opinion. i've been in law enforcement for a long time. i uphold the law to the best of my ability and just because i made a video doesn't portray me as the man i am when i put my uniform on. i'm very fair as a police officer, very fair. >> that's the concern, right? >> the pretext to the question though, is -- >> that's the concern, how are you going to be a different person than you are on the video. unless you're a schizophrenic, you are who you put yourself out there as and that's the concern, right? >> i think he's been a police officer in that community for 14 years and i don't think anybody has got i don't know shot with an automatic weapon. >> thank god for that. >> it's an interesting analogy saying unless you're a
8:27 am
schizophrenic. i think due to the wave of concerns over of course gun control and so forth, the chief just felt this was the appropriate time to make such a video to call attention to his first amendment right, to his second amendment right. if you're not going to use profanity, how are you going to call attention to your first amendment right. if the chief were to use vanilla language and shot with a water pistol, i don't think it would have caused any attention whatsoever. >> hopefully this is a conversation you need to have. we're a sporting culture, a hunting culture. hopefully we don't always have to do it by firing weapons and using profanity. i appreciate you coming on the show. >> the biggest shark tagging expedition of them all. >> plus this, honor among

"sharknado" is drawing us back in. how's this for a scare? you're inches away from a great white shark. it's on the lift of this vessel. it's been baited, hooked and walked on to this platform. fishing master brett mcbride jumps in, risking everything to guide the beast in. he's got to steady it, put a blanket over the eyes to calm it, put a line around its tail. one mistake, the shark wins. what are you telling your family you're doing here? >> this is my life being around animals like, this being in the ocean, reading fish, except they know i'm safe. >> a team of scientists has 15 minutes to take blood and fishing samples and place four tags on the shark, see if it has health problems. this hose runs nonstop, it
8:35 am
attaches to this sleeve. they've got to run water through the shark's mouth to pump water through its gills to give it oxygen to survive. tags attached, the shark is set free. the crew celebrates and gives this one a name. yeah, girl! yeah, lydia! yeah, yeah, yeah. this this is the work of this nonprofit research vessel, renowned scientists teaming with expert fishermen to tag the sharks. a satellite enabled transmitter tag allows anybody to log on to osearch.com and see where the shark goes. some of the ones off of kcape cd have been tagged in florida, bermuda. one of the misconceptions are that they are a huge threat to
8:36 am
us. every year around five people of the world are killed by great white sharks but we slaughter on average 38 million shark as year. we're killing the ocean by doing this. >> there is so much that we don't know about sharks and their habits, their breeding habits and where they go and why. there's a lot we don't know still. >> they don't know anything about great white sharks. they don't know how they feed, where they go. >> and it's awesome tv to watch. >> it is. >> they named that shark lydia? >> yeah. >> it's such a small name for a very large -- >> remember, they're looking for like the biggest sharks they can find because they're trying to track it that way. >> that is fabulous. great assignment, great story. thank you so much, brian. it's great to see you on "new day." that was good stuff. this one is a little bit of a curveball. we'll call it honor among

kate and chris here, let just jump in with political scandal. shall we dive in? >> we've got weiner, we've got filner. filner has had 13 women come forward and accuse him of sexual misconduct. how can these men hang on and why are they hanging on? >> because they have no shame, they have no respect for the voters, they have no touch with reality. they are creeps. they are creepy creeps who don't realize they have a problem. >> put democrat and republican e aside. you have two democrats here. you, my love, are republican. >> doesn't matter. >> it doesn't matter. anthony weiner, he doesn't have much to lose.
8:44 am
he run, he lets the voters decide at the polls, they want him, they don't want him. why drop out now? i don't see any motivation for him to drop out. >> at this point he's too close to the finish line probably to get out. it almost comes to that point. and he has $4 million in his congressional campaign. what he has given up doing this knowing he had these skeletons in the closet, it's his second chance. you only get a second chance once. and he's done with it. >> then from that case to filner, different behavior, questionable behaving men in power. he's in power. how long is that going to last and how much tolerance do they have for this thing? >> i'm the lawyer and you have to have your due process. he's sitting in office and there's something embarrassing as a man about this, that you have 13 women come forward, the idea of coordinating their stories is almost impossible to
8:45 am
fathom. >> to accuse them of a conspiracy. >> it's the only excuse where you get out of this kind of thing. and to still be in office, i think that's a big distinction. now it's what anna said, you have the voters that are supposed to come first, they're supposed to do certain things to do their bidding. how many does it take? how many women have to come forward and say this happened before there's a speedy process it really hurts the confidence in public service. >> compounding that is the fact that -- i was looking it up. it's going to be very expensive for voters to recall filner. $6 million and it's not going to happen until 2014. he'll be out of office or the election will come up in 2016. so it looks like unless something changes he's going to be here until 2016. >> new york you got to do the right this evening and step

8:47 am
we don't aspire to be like these people. they're so dysfunctional, they make you feel real good. >> my concern with reality is that you always wind up celebrating the wrong things and wrong behavior. hopefully this falls into a category where you watch it because you dismiss it, you have contempt for it. >> i think all parents with money should watch it and make their kids go to work. you tell those cuomo kids to take out the trash and mow the lawn because if not, mario kwcuo is going to disown you. >> "the lifestyle of the rich and famous," that was a show in the 80s. do you think this is a reincarnation of this or do you think this is -- >> it seems tawdry and tacky to me. part of the american dream is to
8:48 am
earn what you have so can you get what you want. you know, we love our stuff. >> that's a different dream in a different america. it's going to come back to that because at the end of the day the kids of these kids are going to have nothing to rely on because they're going to spend it all by the time they have kids. >> great discussion with anna. >> let me tell you something. "sharknado" -- >> no, don't silence her. >> fresh water sharks in nicaragua, how do you think they got there? lake nicaragua. >> if i didn't love this show so much, i'd walk off right now, throw my hands up in despair.
