with less than two weeks to go -- >> i keep saying, 13 days. >> we're telling you, 13 days people, till the midterm elections. really today we're gonna know a lot more.

so maybe 14. anyway, all move on. the midterms are coming in 13 days, we've got mayors and lot enforcement officials who are getting a new warning, sadly, about election intimidation. we have extremists who are looking to disrupt the midterms, at the local level, targeting voters, targeting candidates, targeting election workers, all according to axios. >> let's bring in our panel, we have cnn chief law enforcement intelligence analyst john miller. new york democratic senator mondale jones, and political analyst ron brownstein. so this is so disturbing, guys, obviously when we think of extremism, i think we think in terms of january 6th, the insurrection, something on a national scale. locally, there are all sorts of examples of people be unintimidated, and just awful things happening. here are a few examples, this comes from axios. in 50 out of 67 pennsylvania counties, election chiefs have left because of threats, harassment, and intimidation. in idaho, protesters and hung in effigy at a republican candidates home. a democratic candidate in eastern washington state was

shot with a bb gun, while putting up campaign signs. these are just a few examples. congressman, it's so -- being in politics, i don't have to tell you, is a real blood sport now, and it's really scary what's happening around the midterms. >> it is, and we see most of the political violence aimed, by the right wing, towards liberal or progressive members of congress, and of course down the ballot at the state and local level, this is not the first set of examples of this. we saw pramila jayapal, the chair of the progressive caucus, nearly be harmed by someone who is standing outside of her home, waving a gun around. of course, we saw what happened on january 6th, and there are so many examples in between, and this was something especially in the context of elections, that is part of a strategy by the gop to intimidate, in particular, democratic leaning voters against, you know, exercising their constitutional duty. >> there are examples of

republicans also been intimidated and harassed. >> i'd like to hear more about that. at this point, there's only one major political party that is pro democracy that is trying to have safe and secure elections. >> the impact of this is not a theoretical and esoteric debate, that's where you hear about democracy in peril as a overarching theme but we're talking about election offices that are now having bulletproof glass, they are having, you know, active shooter training, people leaving insane look, this is not worth it. the idea of thinking about, it's not worth it to man these election booths or election workers for those reasons. you even have chief ramsey, who is invited to the conference of mayors saying, look, i suggest you pride prioritize or 9-1-1 calls to the election booth on these days. knowing what crime is like right now. this is what we're after. >> this is not the same country it was six years ago, seven

years ago and donald trump came down the escalator. there are isolated examples of conservative politicians been targeted by liberal critics. but, as a mass phenomenon, we are talking about the manifestation of election denialism in the republican party, being operationalized, in a lot of different ways. some of these laws making it tougher to vote. and now we're seeing it as well in the systematic harassment, that is developing. the images of those men in tactical gear, with automatic weapons, surveilling a drop box, and questioning voters as they, you know, exercise their institutional rights, is a symbol of where this is potentially going, unless law enforcement and prosecutors at all levels, can make a really strong statement. we're talking two thirds of three quarters of republican voters say, they believe the 2020 election was stolen and that joe biden is an illegitimate president, that's tens of millions of people.

65% of republican voters think that the traditional way of american life is disappearing so fast that we need to use violence. only a small fraction of the may act on those -- but that still a large number of people, and unless the signals become more clear, the kinds of threats that you're talking about are going to become more routine, in our political life, then we have seen at any point since probably, reconstruction. >> john, the point is look, law enforcement has a role to play. if there is a threat, if crime is on the rise in many places. but, if there is a real and clear and present danger, on election day, what is being done to prepare for it? >> well, i think, first you are seeing threat reporting. one of the things we did not see, and we talked about it at this table, a long time ago, before january 6th, was a threat assessment for january 6th or the certification of the vote.

despite all the intel that was coming in, but there is very large crowds, armed crowds, militias, white suppress summer -- unity a threat assessment for election day, probably a joint piece from the fbi, you're also gonna see a threat stream coming through. first thing is, we're already seen a heightened awareness by the reporting. second thing is, you're gonna see coordination with law enforcement agencies and police departments but as was just pointed out this is not your father's election. or even our election from that not that long ago. we used to have a system where we'd count the votes up overnight and then you wake up in the morning and find out who won. the new system, and this isn't a secret operation, this is where steve bannon went on his podcast with then olson and they laid this out, and you have to separate a couple of things here, which is, get jobs as poll watchers, set up a videotape everything, collect and keep those tapes, even if it doesn't look like something,

if we don't like the result we could pull it all the tapes and say, we have tapes. -- get jobs not as poll watchers biters poll workers. when you get those jobs, we have more, power more, access more things you can do to step in, or interfere, or move things. focusing on elections for district attorneys, and secretaries of state. >> they're doing that, it's all happening. steve bannon laid out the playbook, it's all happening, and there isn't nothing that law enforcement can do about those things. certainly not poll watchers. >> honestly, think about it. >> look at those places where they're sitting there with open carry laws, where the poll watchers are watching with weapons it's intimidating. >> which is important to look into what led up to it. the idea of the potential to repeat, and maybe even kobe and, some of the things we saw. is this just all local law

enforcement. >> no it's not, and in fact there is a bill called it freedom of vote john r. lewis act, which i was proud to coauthor, which passed the house, but because of kyrsten sinema and joe manchin, and unanimous opposition from the gop, did not pass. one of the provisions in that that's not talked about nearly as much as other provisions, is that it would criminalize the intimidation of poll workers, and also create a private right of action for those poll workers to then sue in court, in addition to empower an intern in general of the united states, to combat the misinformation or disinformation, but oftentimes motivates the intimidation that we are seeing. i want to add something to what john was saying earlier, this didn't just start because of an increase in voting by mail. if there had been only in person voting, in connection with the 2020 presidential election, with my republican colleagues and the standard bearer, donald, trump will still be pushing the big lie,

and often lead to the incidence you're talking about, alison. >> just the other, thing it first rain to think of january 6th as a dry run, it feels as though congressman, as you just outlined we have been put in the guardrails to fix it, for the midterms, or for the next presidential race. that's what we could've spent the last two years doing, but it sounds like we've not seen that. >> it's one of the things that people have been working on. there's an attempt to reform the of actual count. >> i keep hearing about the electoral count act, that's not gonna fix all of this. >> you mean the short lengthening long term? >> indeed, you can't address all behavior through legislation. that's why it's so important to have real leadership in congress, and in other elected offices. and on television. and we are not seeing that from one side of the political spectrum. >> you could've had the provisions in hr1 which the congressman was talking about, john ossoff worked on about protecting election workers.

you can have all sorts of safeguards in the electoral count act. but, as long as you have a huge number of people who have been convinced that this election was stolen, and when you don't have a clear statement, from the leaders of that party, that a, the election wasn't stolen, and be that the use of violence to advance political goals is always wrong. i remember talking to elizabeth nude in, who is the we -- who said that the most important thing, in turning off this cycle of violence, are clear messages from the political leaders of the movement, saying it is unacceptable. and when you have, you, know trump talking about the january 6th, the people it in jail as essentially political prisoners, or other republicans minimizing what happened that day, that is the opposite message. the law enforcement and even legislation, is not going to be able to turn back this dial,

without a clear unequivocal cool message. >> you guys heard about this constitutional shares movement, it's a fringe group that believes that local sheriffs have absolute power over elections. to me i put it under the category of, you know, election vigilantism. what we've seen in areas like arizona and beyond. are you concerned, as ron is talking, about the idea of a leader being able to shut it off. to some people, we might be beyond the idea of turning that switch, flipping that switch. typically in vigilantism, what are the concerns you have about that? >> we are in the most brutal political time in america, in a couple of generations. but, sheriffs are unique in law enforcement in america, because they are elected, which means they are a member of one party or another. sometimes, from county to county, the sheriff will be republican, that will be a democrat. but, they are also the chief law enforcement officer of that county. and the more rural you get, the more the sheriff's the police,

as opposed to small police departments in the county sheriff. so that's one concern. the sheriffs are already in politics to get their jobs, and the expectation, is that once you are elected to, sheriff politics goes aside, and you go by -- >> house that working out overtime? >> so this is going to be, uncomfortable with this constitutional sheriffs business, and we will have to watch that. i'll tell you the other dirty little secret is, cops hate election day, because when people start fighting at the polls, you are too close, you broke the, rules you did this. no matter which way the officer who is on the scene goes, they're either gonna say, well, you are secretly a trumpy, or your tool of the government, so it's very uncomfortable for them, but i think in this election, you're gonna see a lot of law enforcement presence as a deterrent. >> gentlemen -- >> it really is, and we're 13

days away. i'm just saying, -- >> 13 days in october, as bobby kennedy once said. >> speaking of a correlation of politics and crime, frankly, are a wisconsin man was found guilty today of killing six people with an suv at a christmas parade last year. why is it somehow been used politically? well, there is an attack at, and a lot of it's being used to target mandela barnes, who is running for senate from wisconsin, and the larger issue of democrats on crime. ct cities with 5g. so, for r me and the hundreds f drivers in my fleet, staying connected, cutting downtime, a d delivering on time depends on t-mobile 5g. and with coverage of over 96% of interstate highway miles, they've got us covered.

the man who drove an suv into the walk a ship christmas frayed, was found guilty today of six counts of intentional homicide, daryl brooks now

faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison. but the horrific waukesha attack, has also become a hammer for republicans, trying to replace mandela barnes as weak on crime. >> when criminals are released because bail is set dangerously low. >> tragedy in waukesha, an suv plows through the cities christmas parade. >> six people were killed, dozens more injured. >> brooks was freed from jail on $1,000 bail. >> mandela barnes wants to end cash bail, completely. he wrote the bill. barnes still wants to end cash bail, today. mandela barnes, not just a democrat. >> every time i see the footage of that, it's unbelievable. >> i take my kids to the because of trades all the time, it's unbelievable to say he. >> the milwaukee da said that that brooks was given a low bill as a result of human error. and in 2021 fact-check found that bill reform is not, clearly linked to a recent spike in crime.

-- discusses with john miller, congressman mondaire jones, and ron brownstein. gentlemen, it goes without saying, there is the specific car and tragedy of what happened at that parade. there is the larger issue as well regarding the way in which this notion of soft on crime players around elections, and has a very political, pointed perspective. and i wonder, for the voters, if they know who's right. and how do you approach to try to bridge the gap between the talking points, which feels very visceral, and the facts? crickets? exactly. that's the make point i'm making. >> i'll start -- criminologists, i think, in any branch of social science, will say that it is extremely difficult to explain the long term trends and why crime rises and falls. and when you get down to

specific cases like this, the causation, and the this strain of events becomes even more complex. >> you can make an argument, i think, that this case is in fact a good justification for moving away from cash bail. >> why, how does that work? >> because this person, under wisconsin law, you are not allowed to consider the risk that a person causes to the community when spending bill. the only issue you allowed to consider is whether they show up. it doesn't make sense, a dea said, i'm obviously in appropriately low bail. >> $1,000. >> terrible. but the argument -- >> okay, when the da said the insanely low bail of $1, 000, it was for assault, battery, resisting arrest, and bail jumping. how do you set a lowball for someone who just -- >> the reform the barns proposed, and has been implemented in other places around the country, would

replace cash bail, with a risk assessment system, in which the risk to the community would exclusively be, part of the decision before the judge, on whether to let somebody off. there are voices on the left, like the aclu, that have opposed to this change, in some places, because they think it will lead to more people remaining in jail. if you move from a -- essentially a system this has been to keep you here, unless you can afford to pay, the one that says we are explicitly going to include the degree of risk you propose in the decision on whether to let you out. you can argue about whether that's the right system or not, but it does in many ways, it's in packed is the exact opposite of what the added saying. >> we consider that, we risk to the community, flight risk. it's interesting to think about the specifics of wisconsin being different on that notion. >> new york is barred from considering dangerousness.

the judge in new york city has to consider the likelihood to return to court. but, if you determine factually, that the person is clearly a danger to the community, you are specifically prohibited by law -- >> congressman, how does that make sense? >> it doesn't, because ultimate, something is because under new york state law, because of an amendment that kathy hochul presided over, as governor, can now look at the seriousness of the harm, of the crime, for which the person was convicted. and so that is a very important piece, but a lot of folks don't understand as a former prosecutor. the purpose of bail is not to prematurely adjudicate or determine someone's guilt or innocence, before they've had their day in court. the point of bail ensure that someone shows up again, in court, at the next court date. >> i'm glad you clarified that, but if someone's a danger to the community, they shouldn't be out. >> i agree that completely. >> so i don't know how we got

here. let's be clear. it's bail and bond conditions, these two things are corollaries, there's the bail and there is a bond. meaning that you'll be held, pending her trial, for other factors, and that's the nuance part. >> under new york state law, and i don't purport to be a expert, i'm not a state legislature. i do know one thing, that is at the frequency of criminality is now taken into consideration, as well as the seriousness of the harm for which a person has been convicted, and that gets that the analysis that you are talking about when you talk about sort of risk of doing public harm. but let's be clear, before cash bail reform in places like new york state and elsewhere, plenty of people who are guilty of crimes obtain freedom quite quickly, because of their wealth. >> because they can pay. i'm sorry, can we get to the dirty little secret here? number one, before criminal justice reform, we had the

lowest crime in recorded history in new york city. the lowest prison population in a generation. and the fewest number of arrests. after criminal justice reform, shootings doubled, murder went up by 38%. prison populations increased, and here is the secret. >> can you be specific about how you define reform? what a defining as a reform? >> it was so much more sweeping than just bail reform, it was a series of discovery law changes, bail reform, entire sets of charges -- you could just give them a ticket, so this came in a package in the middle of the night, stuck into a bit budget bill and passed. here is the secret. prior to this, when we had all that low crime and low prison populations, low jail populations, both, 85% of people arrested by the new york city police department went to arraignment, and walked out of the courthouse. either on a low bail that they could afford, or released on their own recognizance.

so logic dictates, that the judge looked at that 15% and said, there's a reason this person needs to go in, and everything was working. and now they've removed any kind of judgment in that regard -- >> meaning that that 15% now is walking out. >> to pick up on the congressman's point, and looking at places where they limited a cash bail, and things like that. they said that 90% of the people return to court, which is true. that means 10% of them don't. which means that is probably that same percentage that the judges were saying, these guys are a, probably not going to come back. and be, based on our record, with like this waukesha guy with ten gonna rests, will probably be out committing crimes -- >> the pure cause and effect of criminal justice reform means increasing crime, that's pretty productive. >> that's not what i'm saying. what i'm saying is, criminal justice reform can't be just

thrown together by a bunch of defense lawyers and civil rights advocates, written into a bill, and then passed in the dark of night. criminal justice reform comes about when you say, we're gonna bring everybody to albany. we've got the judges, the prosecutors, the cops in the lawyers, we're gonna hash this out and come up with something to make sense. >> just because the prosecutors didn't agree the final outcome, doesn't mean that they weren't consulted. >> if that happened, i want to know where was that day, because that meeting never happened. >> i can't speak in detail in new york state, but the fact is that crime rate decline from the early 19 to 2014. they started going up in 2014, which was before most, or almost any of these criminal justice reforms. 2014 is the pivot point. >> in new york city. >> for violent crime rates, 2014 as a pivot point, started going up then, i don't think criminologists still have an exact explanation as to why. as you talked about last, night

in the most detailed study that has been done, they came out recently by seven criminologists. murder rates went up faster in the cities with hard-line traditional prosecutors over the last five years, and those progressive prosecutors. that doesn't mean that the progressive prosecutors are reducing prices, that means that there's so many factors going into whether crime rises or falls, that is i think very difficult to pinpoint one and say yes, this is the pivot that is driving things forward. >> not only has it not -- >> it's the last place i'd ever go to how to deal with crime, every single solution they ever gave us never worked. >> but data and research matter. the manhattan da published something that shows that murders in manhattan have been year to date have been down 24%. shootings have been down 18%. that doesn't mean that people don't have a right to feel into actually be safe and new york city. and i think that, more of my progressive colleagues need to

speak to -- they feel it in my family, and i know they feel it across the city and throughout this country. but i think it's a mistake to say that reforms, that are meant to create a legal system that is more equitable, and that reduces the racial disparities and -- is the cause, or are the cause of the uptick in crime that we see throughout this country, concentrated, frankly, in eight out of those ten states that you just mentioned, in states led by republicans. >> obviously, there's lots of factors. i think that your argument is super compelling, and i always appreciate when you make it, because you've been on the frontlines, so you saw it happen. but of course, there's all sorts of factors as you guys point out. thank you gentlemen, very much, obviously we will continue to have this conversation. now, to something possibly a

games are rotting their kids brains. but, a new study finds that gaming may actually help improve cognition and impulse control in kids. listen to this, it is the largest study of its kind, it looks a downtown close to 2000 kids age nine and ten, and it found that children who play games for more than three hours a day, which i think is quite high, had higher levels of activity in parts of the brain associated with attention and memory, then those who did not play video games. okay, so if you're with us, we have former white house senior director -- and we have dante stallworth, and ron brownstein is back with us. my era, as our producer maria said, was this study commissioned by 12-year-old boys? either conducted or commissioned by 12-year-old boys. it's actually the national institute of health. i'm stunned, because i'm one of the parents who said it rots your brain, and to stop it. and i think socially for human interaction is not good, but

maybe it's better than i thought it was. i think games of changed over the years, to, as important to separate the biology of what we know, as opposed to the cultural changes. we are, clearly, part of a generation we have to work your thumbs, and that's to societies advantage. and the video games that we grew up with were relatively violent, and solo operations. but in the pandemic, we saw these younger boys having to use the internet, twitch, land parties, to be able to build these connections, and maintain networks at a time when girls, frankly, in junior high in high school, we are struggling because their social networks imploded. the challenge, i think, and i'm really curious about exactly what games were studied, is it something like minecraft that involves world building and deep thought, and almost spatial organization? or are these first person shooter games, where boys are largely getting together, and often subjecting each other to racist and violent commentary along the way. >> i have a nine year old, and

i think he may have done the study, i give him a 30 minute limit on his game, i really do. i gotta tell you, i wonder from the study, -- you know the idea, i've people having a higher cognitive response than we're talking about attention and memory, and impulse control. because they were already more prone to doing, it so maybe they were drawn to these games. or was it that, something about cause and effect. either way, i feel very validators mother today. because there's a lot of judgment from other parents were like, your kids watch television? i'm like yeah, because i'm on it. and i play video, games i played him all i did not the violent winds, a limit that. but it's not the worst thing, but yet competing studies between those who say no, it's hard, and it rots your brain, now they're saying go ahead. >> i think the more we, know the more research we, have the more studies that come up, we'll find out more about what these do, especially long term in these kids.

so you know, when you have all these different studies, i think it's really important to be open to these, because you never know what types of cognitive skills these kids are learning at such a young age, they could benefit them later on down the road, and in turn benefit society as well. >> here is where we, i think as parents, my child is six, so we're still been introduced to this idea of there's some violent action figures, as well as daniel tiger. we're still in that universe. moving on and growing up, as parents, understanding that is an entirely different universe. it is not the super nintendo plug it in, played out, there is a life, a social existence, entire worlds they are building, those parents we do need to understand, and have insight into. >> my kids are a little older, but i remember when they were young, and everyone is hopeful that they were games was gonna make everyone a fighter pilot, and having incredible hedaya coordination, and super quick reactions. so my reaction to this is more like, the video games are only

one small slice of the inputs that shape the interests and aptitudes of kids. and, it is a significant part of their life. >> if they're playing it three hours a day it is. >> but there's a lot of other things. and i suspect it will neither be the salvation or sinking of this generation, anymore than it was the last. , they >> only way -- you're all set from top gun. i don't know what education he's having, i will say had a parent teacher conference with my kids teacher, but my own kids teacher, and the statement was she was complaining about the mouth, and they use a lot of computer based programs, and they don't have instructions on them. and the kids have to figure out for themselves but they're being asked, and what the next steps are. and i said, how can that work? but. and they said look at video games, kids are figuring those out, but very little instruction, they're not like

parents were going through and saying, which is the controller, and what's happening now? it is been repeated in a way, as a second layer of how you understand, even in the subject matters and school. >> and as games become more about strategy and teamwork, we're actually finding that there are more girl gamers, and there are young boy gamers. so we break that stereotype that it's only young boys, isn't proving true, but the challenges they're facing actually may reflect the challenges they're facing into saudi red large, but they're facing them in a silo that we're not hearing, and we don't have access to help them process this at a younger age. >> i do like what you are saying, and i forgot that it's not just a solitary experience anymore. as you said, during covid, my son would be connecting with his cousin or rich friends, and they be together play minecraft or whatever. >> they have tournaments, where people watch other people playing video games. >> in a stadium, like a video game. >> some of them are getting a

think the midterms are essentially like the playoffs, the lead off to the presidential election, and the presidential election is like the super bowl. >> we can only hope that america rig large would pay attention and participate, and come together around elections, as a ritual. >> -- which is approximately how many people watched the super bowl. 160 million people voted, i think the super bowl -- we should look up here, somebody grab their phone. the super bowl is like 160. because we always used to say that more people watch the super bowl then voted, and i think it actually kind of ridge. >> when it came to the january 6th, remember in terms of how many people, but this also tells you when they're eating for the super bowl, dante, it's like the idea the frightening is asian, it's the idea of excited, it's the commercials of times, no offense, as well. this is also about anxiety, this is anxiety eating the

talking about for this. >> yeah, especially when you don't know the outcome, right? we go into some elections and we kind of think, like oh this person's deafening at a whim, or my purse is definitely in a win and doesn't happen in the comfort food is there to reel you back into reality. >> 99 million. >> so there you go, more people voted. we >> but i love the idea of this ritual and coming together, but i will say this, there's a deep history to this. 1771, so even before everything came together as a country, election cake was a thing. >> oh and what is it? >> it's a used to take, with spices and nuts to help preserve it, and we started in connecticut and shared with people who were coming to town for the vote count. so food is a ritual thing, it's how we come together, but tehran's point. >> girl, you lost me a goose cake. >> identity, kind of use the thing.

but iran's point, it sounds like like a great number of participation in an election, but for the developing world, we ranked 30 out of 35 for participation. so the number of people who could be voting and participating, like 20%, are like well, it wasn't very important this time. >> again, i think nachos can only help. >> we are 1:10 to 1:15, usually, that's what they historically were, and now like everything else, it's been faction in it. >> we've learned a lot of fun facts here today. >> thank you all very much, it's time for you to sound off, will read your tweets, next. proven over 90% effective, shingrix is a vaccccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years a and olde. shingrixix does not protect everyone and isis not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingrix today.
