6:01 am
good morning everyone. i'm bianna golodryga. this just in to cnn, concerning data as the u.s. looks to combat rising inflation. consumer prices rising 4% since september, 8.2 september year over year, higher than experted predicted. cnn business correspondent christine romans joins me to walk through the numbers. these are figures every american feels every time they go to the grocery store or the gas station. why does it remain so stubbornly high? >> that's the big question. the fed has been raising interest rates for months and these numbers are still near 40-year highs. when you dig inside these numbers -- and this is what everyone is paying close attention to. when you strip out food and energy, that core inflation, annual core inflation 6.6%. that's the highest since 1982. that's a fresh 40-year high for
6:02 am
core inflation. month-over-month core inflation 4.6% matches what we saw in august. you can see how it's off the worst levels that we've seen earlier this year. maybe showing signs of turning or peaking. that's what everybody wants to know. but what you are feeling year over year, gasoline prices up more than 18% from last year, food prices still up 11%, and shelter -- shelter prices have been rising. this is the part of the economy you can't quickly change. you can go to different store brands or you can shop differently and switch out your cuts of meat, if you're a shopper for your grocery bill. much different when you talk about your housing costs. rising prices have been so punishing for so long, the cost of living adjustments for social security recipients next year will be 8.7%. the 70 million people who receive a social security check or those sorts of ben facilities, starting in january
6:03 am
will have about $146 more a month to try to compensate for this high inflation. >> these figures all but guarantee another rate hike by the fed. christine romans, thank you so much. we're also following several other major stories this morning. hours from now the january 6th select committee expecting to reveal new evidence that former president trump is still a danger to democracy. what to expect in the final hearing before the midterms. plus new developments in the mar-a-lago search. a trump employee tells fbi officials that he was directed to move boxes into the former president's residence after a subpoena was issued for classified documents. what does that mean for the doj criminal investigation? cnn political kpant sara murray is on capitol hill. sara, the final hearing before
6:04 am
the midterms later today. what do we expect to see and hear? >> we expect them to still drive home that trump remains a clear and present danger to democracy. we're not expecting live witnesses at this hearing. we do believe there's going to be new evidence. over the summer they interviewed a number of members of trump's cabinet, got over a million communications from u.s. secret service. we expect to see some of those emails. the cabinet members, people very high profile people in the trump administration, people who resigned after january 6th. we've also heard from members they want to try to highlight the ties between the former president's circle of advisers as well as domestic extremist groups. here is what jamie raskin said about that yesterday. >> the inner circle includes the three people that he pardoned between the election in november and january 6th, flynn, stone
6:05 am
and bannon. i call them the flintstones, then absolutely there's abundant evidence that we're going to present. >> reporter: there's a lot of ground the committee wants to cover today, a lot of new evidence they want to spotlight, video evidence as well as communications from the u.s. secret service. we should also note that we learned from a u.s. secret service official that there was some communication between secret service and the oath keepers ahead of january 6th. they said it was part of their standard intelligence and response duties. so it will be interesting to see what the committee is able to bring to light today in their last hearing before the midterms. >> they received more than a million communications from the secret service alone. sara murray, thank you. now to the new details in the mar-a-lago investigation. sources say a trump employee told the fbi that trump directed boxes to be moved out of a basement storage room and into
6:06 am
trump's residents at mar-a-lago. senior crime and justice correspondent kaitlyn polantz is joining us. potentially very damning here. what more are you learning? >> let's walk through this. a source familiar is telling pamela brown about a witness's description to the fbi, and that witness was telling the fbi that donald trump gave instructions to move boxes out of the basement storage room at mar-a-lago and into residents at mar-a-lago. as you mentioned, when this happened was important. it came after the subpoena from the justice department demanding to donald trump and his team that all of the boxes should be returned. the other thing that's important here is that the justice department, remember, is investigating obstruction of justice. they've already told us in a court filing that what happened to those boxes, the boxes potentially being moved, was salient to them. they wrote the government developed evidence that government records were likely
6:07 am
concealed and removed from the storage room and efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government's investigation. prosecutors have also said in court filings that they believe those boxes that may have been returned were not -- that may have been removed were not returned to them. all these pieces are coming together. another new detail, bianna, about this reporting from pamela brown is that the person who spoke to the fbi first denied that they were handling sensitive documents, but then after the justice department got ahold of surveillance tapes of mar-a-lago around that store reaming room, the person revised their story. a lot of new details. >> a reminder we don't know what's on that surveillance tape. joining me to discuss, elliot williams, former deputy assistant attorney general for the justice department, cnn senior political analyst kirstin power. elliott, the latest news we
6:08 am
covered, a former trump employee said he had been advised and ordered by the former president to move a box after the subpoena was already served. how damaging can this be. >> three words, obstruction of justice. >> that's part of the investigation. >> part of the investigation. i've been on with you a thousand times. usually pretty cautious about these things. this is pretty clear evidence of obstruction of justice. if an individual is aware of an investigation and conceals or hides or tampers or destroys evidence as a means of getting around that, that's obstruction of justice, both for the person who directed them to do it and the person who did it. my guess is this employee maybe is cutting a deal to not be charged themself with obstruction. it's pretty solid evidence assuming it's true. >> what do you make of the fact that he initially denied this until he was reminded that he was actually caught -- there's surveillance video showing him doing just that? >> it's amazing what the thought
6:09 am
of being federally prosecuted will do to a man or woman's sense of self. they might have gotten spooked and come clean. >> it's also an indication that they lied in the first place, that there's something fishy going on. why would you lie about that, if it was just random boxes that didn't matter? why would you go out of your way to lie? it suggests some sort of premeditated behavior here being covered up. >> this is something that happened in the past regarding these documents in the national archives. we're going to be hearing from the january 6th committee today about the january 6th insurrection. and the committee is trying to emphasize that the former president, not only his role that day, but that he remains a threat to this country. let me play sound from sarah matthews, former deputy white house press secretary under president trump. here is what she said to cnn. >> he had every opportunity to call off the mob and condemn the violence. we've seen from taped testimony from several of my colleagues
6:10 am
that folks were pleading with him to do that, and he didn't ever pick up the phone once. i think that the january 6th committee has laid that out. furthermore than just january 6th, he's continued to push the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him with zero evidence of that. i think that that does pose a threat to our democracy. >> not only does he continue to push that lie, but other candidates he's supporting are doing the same. what are you expecting to hear from the committee today? what will you be looking for? >> they are trying to get into his state of mind. we're supposed to hear more about what's happened with the secret service. i think there was this famous incident where he wanted to go up to the capitol and he was overruled by the secret service. some people have said, well, what authority do they really have to do that. the point is, there's nobody really in history who has ever questioned when the secret service tells them that you're
6:11 am
in danger. we've seen in the movies where they run in and grab the president like a football and run out with him. dick chain nay is talking about that. he could have technically overruled them. noek ever does that. what does that say about this person and what other things we will learn about the interactions with the secret service that will shine light on his state of mind and what he was thinking and what he was doing on that day. >> terrence, you say this million pages of documents that they have from the secret service could be a smoking service for this investigation. explain how? >> they have a tremendous job to do. they have to bring us up to date as to what we've learned over the past months and then tie in this new evidence that will give pretty plain, as eliot mentioned, pretty plain indication of who was doing wrong, who was derelict in their duty, who had a duty to intervene and did not. that needs to be spelled out to
6:12 am
the public so they understand that. >> that leads us to the question of will the public even be watching today? they've clearly got so much on their plate. an economy, new data shows more concern about inflation and the fact it remains too high and not going down as quickly as we would like. there's a midterm election coming up. how much do americans really care at this point about these hearings? >> i think the fact that this probably isn't going to factor into the midterm elections that smuch a statement as to how polarized the country is. if you look at what has come out in these hearings, it's insane. under normal circumstances most people would be looking that the and thinking, oh, my gosh, we can't have anybody even remoted associated with this person in office. yet, we see some of the candidates that he supported in very tight races and possibly may win.
6:13 am
i think it's because, basically, we've gotten to a point where everybody is staked out in their positions and there's very few persuadable voters. >> the former attorney general of the united states -- >> terrence, go ahead. >> i was going to say i have actually more faith that there are a lot of people in the middle who are looking for some facts. the fact that we see whether it's podcasts or dahmer, 50 million people looking at that historical stuff, they can look right now and help decide which way america and democracy is going to go. so shame on them if they're not taking the time to do that. that's why it's incumbent upon this committee to lay out the facts today. but they ought to go on record saying we think there ought to be indictments. i know that's a decision of the bureau of justice. they are our elected officials. they are bipartisan. there's republicans and democrats. tell us how you feel. what is your opinion, and then
6:14 am
the rest of us can make a decision. >> well, they can refer this to the doj. do you think ultimately, eliot, they will? >> it sounds like they're probably going to. at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. the justice department doesn't have to follow any recommendation from congress. at a certain point, they've clearly been building toward that. it would be hard to see why they didn't. tieing together the point, william barr testified that he thought the former president was delusional. at any other moment in american history, that moment would have been seismic. to your point, kirsten, we're inundated with a flood of news that the public is so used to this, but it's madness. >> bianna, i think -- i'm sorry. i think it does matter. i think it does matter that these people, this committee who has heard from so many people of involvement in this thing, it
6:15 am
should matter and does matter to the public that we know where they stand now. let's not leave it to guessing. let's not leave it to some time after the election. the impact of the election of trump and what went on after that is still playing out and will play out in the next 30 days. it does matter. >> i think we're talking about two different things. it absolutely does matter. this work is very important and they need to be doing that. the question of whether people will factor it in and it will be one of the top reasons they're voting is a different question, and it's not going to be a top reason they're voting. are there some people who are in the middle and think this solidifies something for them? absolutely. but whether it impacts the election or not, that doesn't affect whether it matters. it absolutely matters. this is extremely important work, and it should matter. >> and it is important to note most of their witnesses have been republicans. we're going to hear more, not from live testimony or witnesses but taped interviews with former
6:16 am
cabinet officials. >> absolutely. >> we'll be covering all this for you at cnn. until then, always great to have you all on. we appreciate your time. join cnn for live coverage of the january 6th hearings, as they resume with new witnesses and evidence. that's today at 12:00 p.m. eastern. still to come, president biden says it's time to rethink our relationship with saudi arabia over its decision to slash oil production. today democrats have a new bill that would do just that by stopping arm sales to the middle east nation. is the president willing to sign it? we'll tubing senator richard blumenthal behind the legislation next rjts plus, more on the key inflation measure out this morning. what's the impact you're going to feel at home? he's been ordered to pay the sandy hook families he's tormented more than $1 billion. will they see a dime? we've learned alex jones will appeal the massive verdict against him. roster ever creat.

today saudi arabia again defending its decision to slash oil production. it says the move to dramatically cut output by more than 2 million barrels are day was not politically motivated by the u.s. president biden says it's time to rethink america's relationship. introducing a bill to suspend all arm sales to saudi arabia for the next year, one of the senators, richard blumenthal of connecticut joins us now. currently serving on the judiciary and armed services committee. senator, thank you for joining us. you and congressman ro khanna introduced this bicamera bill yesterday. it would include suspending weapon aid to saudi arabia, the lead importer, we should note, of u.s.-made weapons. have you heard anything from the administration suggesting they would support this bill? >> the president has said very
6:22 am
clearly and commendbly that we need to rebalance our relationship or at least rethink it. there have got to be consequences for this action. hugh hugh month gus blunder by the saudis, as well as a threat to the global economy, danger of rising oil prices to american consumers at the pump and, of course, most importantly from the standpoint of ukraine, it helps the russians. it harms americans, and i think that the administration more than any of us is well aware of these practical consequences. >> notwithstanding the rash reaction and action of mbs, i'm curious if you played this through and possibly thought about the implications that this may serve as a benefit, unintended benefit for nations like iran. >> you know, i think that that
6:23 am
point is very salient, and it ought to be a catalyst for our rethinking this whole relationship with saudi arabia. we have transferred technology to the saudis in massive amounts. highly sensitive arms that we would never want to fall into the hands of the russians who now apparently are good friends with the saudis, if not allies, and the thad and patriot missile systems, the air defense platforms, radar, jet fighters, all of this highly sensitive technology and intellectual property going to the saudis is really unprecedented in our relationships with other countries that we regard as allies but the saudis appear to be no longer really allies.
6:24 am
i think that's a factor to be considered. >> would this freeze also apply to uae? there have been reports that the uae and other opec-plus members including even iraq had been against this move to slash production, but had been outvoted on that front. we supply them with billions of dollars in aid as well. are they included in this? >> they are not included in this legislation. obviously the relationship of the saudis to other nations in the region is a consideration. >> you reached out i know to republican colleagues who have been quite muted in terms of what a response would look like. you say they have been, quote, receptive but non-committal and favorable in their remarks. why are they non-committal to this bill? >> i think the focus, practically speaking, is on the elections that are just weeks away. i think that when we come back
6:25 am
in november, my republican colleagues, as well as democrats, are going to be very receptive, judging by my conversations with them, to the idea that there have to be consequences and a suspension in arm sales is a good way to go about it. the saudis need to come to their senses, and they are aligned against iran, but that interest alone is not a reason to continue these arm sales. there are other ways to push back and oppose and stop iran, for example, from acquiring nuclear weapons. >> if you see politics may be involved and why the republicans have thus far been non-committal, given we're weeks away from the midterms. i'm curious to get your reaction and response as to why, when republican senator rand paul, introduced legislation last year to halt the sale of $650 million of missiles to saudi arabia, very few democrats supported that sllegislation.
6:26 am
you didn't support that legislation. in retrospect, was that a mistake? was he right? >> i think the paul amendment was in a different context with a different set of circumstances. >> but it's the same actors, right? you're dealing with the saudis. >> i think what's important now is to view the total relationship, and that's what the president certainly is going to be doing. a single amendment is not the answer, nor, by the way, is this legislation the total answer. it's a very targeted, calibrated, limited, sensible approach to making the saudis come to their senses, and it has limited objectives in that sense, but rebalancing and rethinking the entire relationship ought to be the objective. >> senator, i'd like to switch gears and bring it a bit closer to home for you. that's what we heard from a connecticut jury, deciding to award eight families of the
6:27 am
sandy hook victims and one fond a verdict against alex jones. he's going to appeal and was even fund-raising off of it. i'm curious. these are your citizens, your state. this is something the nation mourned with you all about. it hits close to home for you. what is your response to this? how did you feel when you heard the jury come back? >> this jury verdict is very well justified. i know these families. i know personally what they have been through which is absolutely heartbreaking in the worst way. it's gut-wrenching what alex jones did by way of his distortion and lies, and the families have been so strong and courageous in championing gun violence prevention. we're reminded just this morning with the death of two bristol police officers, and my thoughts and prayers go out to them and
6:28 am
their families, that gun violence is still very much with us. what alex jones did to these families in causing the harassment and deep pain ought to offend all of us, and certainly it offended the jury rightly, and the appeal he's taking i think will be unsuccessful. >> senator richard blumenthal, our thoughts are obviously all with those families. we appreciate your time today. thank you. >> thank you. up next, is president biden just weeks away from becoming a lame duck? we have brand new cnn polling ahead of the november midterms. we'll tell you how voters are leaning up next. ♪ what will you chchange? ♪ will you make something better? ♪ will you create somethining entirely new? ♪ our dell technologies advisors provide you with

as a teacher living and working in san francisco, the cost of housing makes living and working here really difficult. proposition d is the only measure that speeds up construction of affordable new homes by removing bureaucratic roadblocks. so teachers, nurses, firefighters and workers like us can live where we work. while prop e makes it nearly impossible to build more housing join habitat for humanity in rejecting prop e, and supporting prop d to build more affordable housing for everyone. talk to anyone in san francisco and they'll tell you now is not the time to make our city even more expensive by raising taxes. san francisco has one of the largest city budgets in america. yet when it comes to homelessness and public safety, we're not getting results. what we really need are better policies, more accountability, and safer neighborhoods. vote no on propositions m and o.
6:33 am
the last thing we need are higher taxes, especially right now. now is not the time to raise taxes in san francisco. vote no on m and o. this morning wall street is responding negatively after another concerning inflation report. the dow opened just moments ago already down over 500 points, nearly down 2%. cnn business correspondent alison kosik is following the market. what will you be looking for today? >> good morning, bianna. this is shortly a sharp u-turn. before the market opened we saw a triple-digit gain for the dow. now you're seeing it fall over 500 points. this is after the inflation report looking at consumer prices telling us what we
6:34 am
already know as consumers, that we're paying more for everything from food to rent to when we travel. we're paying more for all of those things. we learned that on a monthly basis overall consumer prices doubles more than expected. then you strip out the volatile food and energy part of the equation and you see inflation still moving higher there. so what this means and why you're seeing this reaction here on wall street is the concern that the fed has really got its work cut out for it. it's already raised interest rates many times this year, five times this year, and still not making really a dent on the inflation problem. the big concern that wall street has and main street has as well is the more aggressive the federal reserve gets on hiking these rates, the likelier it is that the u.s. could enter a recession. something we've already heard warnings from jpmorgan's ceo jamie dimon and bank of america as well, predicting a recession by the middle of next year.
6:35 am
>> the imf warning of that as well. alison kosik, thank you. with less than four weeks until election day, is going to be top of mind for voters, cnn polling suggesting the economy is weighing heavily on the minds of voters across the nation. this morning we have more brand new polling out that reveals more broadly about voters' mind sets ahead of the midterms. harry, what does the data say about where voters are right now? >> the generic ballot, choice for congress, no clear leader. we have that nice and highlighted up there. if we look among registered voters, democrats have a three-point advantage, well within the margin of error. likely voters, the same. usually the party out of power has an advantage and likely voters relative to registered voters, not the case here. here is the thing about the three-point advantage if you're looking, and we put this in historical context, looking at cnn polling from late september,
6:36 am
early october throughout the years. we compare it to the eventual house result, the event net house seat gain. what we essentially see is that three-point advantage that democrats have doesn't look like 2018 where democrats had a 13-point advantage, doesn't look like 2010 either. it looks a lot more like 2014. what happened in 2014? republicans picked up a net gain of 13 seats. republicans this year only need a net gain of five. putting it in historical context, i think this this points to republicans taking control of congress. >> what do you see in districts that are more competitive? >> of course, look, this is going to come down to the competitive districts. we took a big sub sample of likely voters in 50 competitive districts. what we see in those districts again is no clear leader, but the leader, in fact, switches, republicans at 48% to democrats 43%. you look back at the 2020 presidential result in those exact same districts, you see in
6:37 am
fact joe biden won those districts by four points. there seems to be a switcheroo there. the other thing i'll note from our poll that i think is interesting is this number, going about turnout, extremely enthusiastic about your midterm vote, now 28%. that's far closer to october of 2018 when it was 33%, not much like 2014 or 2010. the key nugget about that is in 2018 we saw record turnout for a midterm. i think we'll probably have extremely high turnout again. this is an election in which a lot of voters are really, really enthusiastic. >> harry enten, appreciate it. >> thank you. children are being pulled from the rubble in ukraine as president zelenskyy pleads for more air defense systems. we'll have a live report from the ground up next.

6:43 am
in the donbas region. the manner of death is now unclear. cnn is working to confirm the person's identity. this comes as nato leaders reiterate their pledge to stand by ukraine amid a fourth day now of russian strikes across the country. cnn's fred pleitgen joins us now from kyiv. fred, how are things looking on the ground now. >> reporter: you're absolutely right. the strikes are continuing, and the ukrainians say they're continuing. what we had overnight is pretty massive strikes in a town called mykolaiv which is in the south of the country, especially the southern towns have been hitting a lot, those close to the front lines there. the thing about those strikes in mykolaiv, the ukrainians say the russians used s-300 missiles, they're normally shot at planes. if you shoot them at ground targets, they become very inaccurate which, of course, is a recipe for mayhem if you're talking about shooting those in populated areas. apparently that's exactly what
6:44 am
happened overnight. ukrainians say eight of those were shot at mykolaiv. several people are still missing. two people are confirmed dead. the authorities did manage to pull one child from the rubble there who survived, but definitely a devastating scene. we can see some of it on our screens there. the local government saying the one building, the top floors were absolutely level by those strikes. in the kyiv region, we've had a lot of air raid alarms as well. local authorities say two were struck with kamikazi drones. one is bucha, the district of bucha, so dominant as it was taken back by the ukrainians in april. this continues to be a big problem. venezuel
6:45 am

a new study shows how high school football coaches could protect their players from brain injury, protecting against some impact is a big focus for the nfl. the league agreed to updated concussion protocol after an apparent head injury and was later allowed to re-enter the game. dr. sanjay gupta is here to explain. sanjay, a lot of parents really fascinated with this study and watching closely. walk us through what this research shows. >> yeah it was some of the best data i think that we've seen. they basically followed three high school football teams for a season trying to dissect out how often are these head impacts occurring, where are they occurring. they had 74 players, they had mouth guard sensors, bianna, to measure the impact and they found there is all sort of different drill that's happen
6:58 am
during practice. something that jumped out is a lost head impacts are happening in practice as opposed to on game day. they could have them both places but a lot of focus has been on concussions during game day. what about head impacts the rest of the time. here are the different types of drills for example people will go through when their practicing. and then look at different drills and said what is the likelihood of a head impact in these drills and they found certain drills were far more likely to create impacts than other drills and when you broke it down even further, you found for example one particular type of drill called the thud drill, even if you did a fraction of the hours of other drills, you got far more head impacts. so this is good data, i think, for coaches and others to have in terms of how to limit the head impacts. one thing that jumps out at me, about 73 head impacted that were
6:59 am
measured and it is close to 100 per play in the high school football players. >> we hear this a lot of on quarterbacks, but did the results different for different positions? >> yeah. it was interesting. and this may not surprise you that much but linemen were the most likely to have these sorts of head impacts. people woho are lining up with head impact and then tight ends and then running backs, quarterbacks were further down the list and the least likely according to this study were receivers. this is data. on average 100 impacts per player, but again some far more than others depending on the position. >> so take us to this bigger issue as a whole and why this idea of reducing the cumulative impacts on the brain is important overall in making the sport safer? >> yeah. this is i think the most important point. first of all, this is a popular sport at the high school level. close to a million and a half
7:00 am
high school football players. so just keep that in the back of mind. even small percentages are going to lead to significant numbers of these head impacts. but i think what we've learned more than anything else, while we pay attention to concussions, these sub con cussive hits, the more like lie you are to have long-term problems and develop a concussion so your brain could get set up for a concussion. if you try to minimize head impacts, focusing on practices and specific drills sh this is data that i think that is, you know, emerging data that people could now use to try and make this a safer game. it is tough to make it safe. it could be a violent sport as we've talked about over the past couple of weeks. but this could help. especially in some of the younger players. >> yeah, the safetier you could make it, as early as possible the better overall for the pl
