thank goodness. doctors expect 82-year-old paul pelosi to make complete recovery. however, very near thing, especially a man of his age. tonight, spokesperson for his wife, house speaker nancy pelosi, second in the line of presidential succession, said mr. pelosi underwent surgery to repair a fractured skull and serious injuries to his right arm and hand. short, go, we learned she is at the hospital with him. this is new video just in of her motorcade arriving. she was in washington when the attack happened. we just learned san francisco's police chief is expected to update the public soon. we will bring you new information as it becomes available. this is what we know so far, law enforcement tells cnn and, he was attacked by hammer wielding intruder shouting, quote, where is nancy? according to sources familiar with the situation, when police got there, the suspect in custody and charged with attempted murder, told him he was, quote, waiting for nancy.

police have not determined a motive, the suspect's facebook page full of manes and conspiracy theories including the 2020 election and january 6th when as you know, rioters indicated they sought to capture or kill speaker pelosi. as if to underscore the kind of climate we are living post insurrection and 11 days pre- election, federal authorities late today pull out a bulletin with the following warning, quoting, following the 2022 midterm election, perceptions of election related fraud and dissatisfaction with election outcomes likely will result in heightened threats of violence against broad range of targets such as ideological opponents and election workers. needless to say, this is not normal. worse yet, maybe it is now. but it should certainly not be acceptable. first, whitney wild with more on the attack, the suspect, how it unfolded. what more are you learning about what happened and the

charges the suspect is facing? >> suspect 42-year-old david the top, facing a list of charges after attacking pelosi with a hammer. here are a few charges from the lengthy list. burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, battery with serious bodily injury, attempted murder. sources tell cnn, the suspect entered through the back of the home. he was shouting, where is nancy, where is nancy? the alleged attacker tried to tie up pelosi until she came home. sources tell mike cnn coley, john miller, when pelosi called 911, he was trying to communicate with the dispatchers in secret so the assailant would not figure out what he was doing. he had the phone near him, he was talking in code. it was an astute 911 dispatcher who are able to get police over quickly, who was attempting not to get the assailant angrier

than he already was, forced to talk in code to a 911 dispatcher. >> quick thinking to make the call and ability of the dispatcher to act on it probably saved his life. a search of the facebook page turned up a post about january 6th. what else has been uncovered? >> reporter: review of social media show he had memes, conspiracy theories, list of different things he was attached to about covid vaccines, conspiracies about the 2020 election, january 6th attack. acquaintance told cnn, he seemed out of touch with reality. depape posted links on facebook page with multiple videos falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen. >> was the suspect known to law enforcement? >> reporter: our sources say he was not known to law enforcement. you is not in federal databases that tracked threats. >> whitney wild tracking this.

thank you for your work on this. we let you get back to reporting, more on the criminal justice and security aspects, joined by senior law enforcement analyst and former deputy director andrew mccabe. former d.c. metro police officer michael fanone, who was badly beaten protecting speaker pelosi and others from the mob on january 6th. also with this tonight, special correspondent jamie gangel. what stands out to you about the attack? >> as you said, how lucky we are mr. pelosi was as quick thinking and coolheaded as he was to get 911 on the phone to get that alert to police officers to respond quickly. the thing that echoes back to me is something we have known quite some time. it is these dispossessed people motivated by anger and grievance. they react very strongly to

these conspiracy theories. this is not a new thing. we saw this immediately after donald trump was elected with the attempted attack on the comet ping-pong pizza restaurant in d.c., individual following qanon theories tried to shoot at the restaurant in effort to save children. we sought recently with the individual who tried to stage solo attack on the fbi office in cincinnati. the volatility of conspiracy theories combined with these folks motivated by grievance and political ideology makes a very high threat environment and that is where we currently are. >> speaker pelosi obviously second in line of succession to the presidency. she has a security detail. as we learned today, that detail stays with her and does not protect her home while she is away. had the assignments work, which department are responsible, how

many officers make up the detail? >> that responsibility falls on the united states capitol police. for those of you that don't know , the united states capitol police made up of 1800 sworn members, of those 1800, 200 are assigned to the dignitary protection division, which is responsible for providing protection details to the individual members. with those resources, only the leadership are given round-the- clock details that typically are made up of 4 to 8 officers. it is only the members themselves, not their families, not their homes. when they receive about, 2021, they said there were 10,000 threats received by members of congress, which is up about 10 fold from previous years'

averages. they are incredibly understaffed and overwhelmed. >> jamie, i can see you nodding. because this is the reality in washington. yes, today sent shockwaves through the city, the country where members are still traumatized by what happened on january 6th. to an extent, they have had to deal with this sometime. what is the reaction you get from sources there? >> members of congress, there's no question there is no way to protect round-the-clock in the present circumstances as mike said, all the members of congress. the other side of that is, members of congress want to be able to be somewhat accessible. this is the new reality. i think what is important to remember here is, nancy pelosi was the target today. the words this attacker said are eerily reminiscent of

january 6th, when we saw the rioters going through saying, where is nancy? i think what is most disappointing today is, yes, there were some republicans who spoke out and condemned this. obviously, liz cheney, adam kinzinger, mitch mcconnell said he was horrified and disgusted. mike pence spoke out and said there was no tolerance. but many republicans have not said a word about it. some of them have made light about it in appalling ways on social media. donald trump, to the best of our knowledge to this moment has said, absolutely nothing about it. >> investigators have their hands full. what do you think they're doing most, looking through the alleged assailant's positive possible motives, what is going

on? >> reporter: they are trying to drill down on what this individual's motives might have been to get as much specificity as they can. they are also very focused on trying to uncover whether there are other people who may have known what he was going to do. may be like-minded individuals who could be planning similar attacks. that is the first priority law enforcement has after any sort of attack. they want to see if they can stop the next one, the follow- up attack. they do that by looking at this person's network in its entirety. all of the folks he has been contacting either text message or telephone calls, emails, people he interacts with over social media, they want to look at his statements on social media and other electronic devices he might have. there is a lot of work going on right now with the san francisco police department and the fbi and capitol police. >> michael, you said capitol

police understaffed was security details. you have a sense of how decisions are made on who gets protection other than senior leadership? is it really about who's getting the most threats or most serious threats? >> we have 535 members of congress. like i said, about 200 dpd agents to protect them. their resources are spread pretty thin. in contrast, you look at the secret service, they employed 3200 special agents. 1300 members of the uniformed division. that is to protect the president, vice president, several dignitaries and their families. they received on average 3000 threats a year. the u.s. capitol police often times looking to law enforcement to assist them. the threats themselves outside leadership, they are reviewed on case-by-case basis. often times, they look at

members that may have received several threats, dozens of threats, unfortunately, they have to triage and can't help. i have spoken to many members who become incredibly irritated in that they have had to seek protection from contractors and private sources outside of law enforcement. >> incredible statement on where we are they have to do that. jamie, the pelosi family is a big close-knit family. you have a sense of how they're doing tonight? >> reporter: the good news is, nancy pelosi is at the hospital with her husband. i believe four of their five adult children have arrived as well. the fifth one may have arrived by now. they are all there at his side. i think the good news we heard tonight, the doctors do expect

full recovery. we can't underplay the trauma of what happened here. fractures to the skull. his serious injuries to his right arm, both of his hands. this will be quite a recovery. i know paul pelosi, he is in great shape for 82. this was a big trauma. >> he very likely played a major role saving his own life. >> reporter: absolutely. jamie gangel, michael mccabe, michael fanone, thank you all. up next a reaction from congress who have seen far too much violence and received far too many traits from people not content to let their ballots do the talking. with 11 days left, democrats turned to the best campaign they have, former president obama first series of stops in string of key states. like report on the first appearance in georgia went, that is coming up.

waiting for update from san francisco police chief we will bring life. former vice president mike pence called the attack on paul pelosi an outrage. he said in a tweet, there can be no tolerance for violence against public officials or their families. this meant should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. his former boss, that spoke to about mob that targeted pence and house speaker nancy pelosi on january 6th had nothing to say. president biden spoke with pelosi earlier today and had this to say at a fund-raising dinner in philadelphia. >> enough is enough. every person of good conscience needs to clearly and unambiguously stand up against the violence in our policies. regardless of what your politics are. >> that was the president a short time ago.

this is, even counting the insurrection, sadly not the only act of violence targeting members of congress the last several years. lawmakers have sadly become accustomed to constant stream of threats as well. teen him on a raw show at the capitol tonight. what is the reaction? >> reporter: no doubt there is bipartisan concern, outrage, others expressing quick recovery for paul pelosi. hearing this from both sides of the aisle, the house and senate. noticeably more reaction from democrats than republicans. that caught the eye of congressman adam kinzinger, someone on the outside of his party and said this earlier tonight -- >> this is the kind of stuff every republican needs to speak out on like every democrat and republican should speak out when -- was shot. republicans not speaking out, this will be visited on our side. does not matter what side you are on. speak out now.

>> noticeable difference in reaction from the top republicans in congress. the republican leader on the house side, kevin mccarthy, someone that could potentially become the house speaker next year, if the midterms go their way. he issued a statement through a spokesperson, he himself does not wait and come he said through a spokesperson, reached out to the speaker to check on paul. he is praying for full recovery and is thankful they caught the assailant. i reached out to the office to ask whether the republican leader himself would react to this, i have not heard back about this question. on the senate side, mitch mcconnell, republican leader had a much different reaction. he did tweet about this, he was , quote, horrified and disgusted about this. also wishing paul pelosi quick recovery. a little bit different reaction. overall, there is bipartisan concern and outrage about this horrific attack. >> there should be. manu raju on capitol hill, thank you very much.

senior political correspondent abby phillip's anchors inside politics monday. the two davids, david darken and david gergen is legendary bipartisan, senior political analyst. david axelrod is senior political commentator. plenty of warnings, plenty of warnings about the lies surrounding the 2020 election that could lead to violence. when someone who is seemingly, someone seemingly bought into the lies and engages in violent act like this, should we be surprised? >> no. when you legitimate the idea the election has been stolen, fundamental tenet of american democracy compromise, what we consider act of domestic terrorism in the mind of that person active patriotism. this has been legitimated again and again from the platform of president trump rallies. also by other leaders in his

party. i remember the attack on steve scalise and other republicans on baseball fields. this has been spiraling up. at the highest levels of government from the highest levels of political leadership, you're telling people, these people are enemies of the state. they stole the election from you. of course you will activate people to do things like this. >> abby, we often january 6th, watching that happened, that would be a turning point, that would change the tenor of things to,. then you see this happen today, you would like to think this would have an impact. if january 6th didn't, why would this today? >> reporter: quite the opposite. january 6th actually has turned into something that has become kind of a rally cry of a lot of conservatives. it is kind of shocking. i think if you lived through january 6th, you watched what happened, to understand when you look at the grassroots of

the republican base, they view january 6th, its assailants as he rose. you have a former president in donald trump going out on campaign rallies. when he goes on campaign rallies right now, he talks about those january 6th defendants being political prisoners. this is not just something happening in the french, it is happening in the mainstream of the republican party. the direction of this is moving the wrong direction, not getting to a place we are rejecting this kind of political violence. major political party, has been brought even closer to this kind of violence as a result of the fact trump, he has made it article of faith among republicans that you cannot say anything bad about january 6th. to him, this is about the big crowds he got.

i think today we saw the consequences of what all of that violence really has brought for the country. >> david gergen, you work at the white house through watergate and assassination attempt of ronald reagan. a lot of flashpoints in history. how would you describe how this moment compares? what is unique about where we are today? >> i think we have to accept for the fact a long time america has had a problem with violence in our political circles. one of the most favorite examples in history came before the outbreak of the civil war. senator sumner from massachusetts attacked by south carolina member of congress who came after him with a cane and almost beat him to death. you have to think about that today as you learned about what happened to poor paul pelosi. he was almost beaten to death here. that and pre-civil war time, the sumner incident acted to momentum for the war itself.

we have to wait and see, i think abby and david are right, too little from reaction of the people that gave us this. there is a direct link between what happened to paul pelosi and january 6th. what were the rioters chanting as they went through and marotta through the buildings on capitol hill? where is nancy, where is nancy? that is the same thing this gentleman, if you can call him a gentleman, was yelling as he invaded the home of the pelosis. i think what has changed, it has become so mainstream, so much more acceptable, the violence becomes more acceptable and surging as a result of this unrest and fanned by donald trump and people around him, it is surging. also like this is what we live with in the modern day. we have to learn to accept it.

we never accepted this before. we always had leadership that came down hard. for donald trump to go 24 plus hours without a word said is outrage in and of itself. this is a man seeking the nomination of a major political party, very likely to get it. now look at the leadership he is showing, it is worse than it used to be, not better. >> david axelrod, trump did put a statement out on the death of jerry lee lewis. do you think he will remain silent on this attack on paul pelosi? >> you know, i don't know what he is going to do. as abby pointed out, every time he has a rally, he puts a log on the fire. he has promised to pardon the people convicted in the january 6th insurrection, including the people who assaulted police officers, one presumes. he is on one side of this

debate. the leaders who care about democracy are on the other side, republicans and democrats. this is a problem for the republican party. let's not make any mistake about it, liz cheney very clear, kinsinger, this is a party within the republican, problem within the republican party, they have to find the strength, the wherewithal to push. >> glenn youngkin is virginia republican governor, mentioned as possible presidential contender. he condemned the attack, there is no room for violence anywhere. then he made a joke it seemed, republicans were going to send speaker pelosi back to california so she could be with her husband, seemingly suggesting they would vote democrats out of power. how did that's it, do you think? >> in the republican base, i'm sure that's not very well, unfortunately. there is a sort of nastiness in

politics, mean streak that a lot of political figures, including glenn youngkin, are feeding. that is a symptom of the broader problem we face as a country. there is not any more in expectation of basic civility in moments like this. where we can take a step back and say, we are going to put the politics to the side and insist on people acting in a certain way. i think right now, so many political figures, especially the most ambitious ones, they know the republican base once a certain degree of what they consider to be toughness. i think that is contributing to the worsening of her politics. this is not about policy differences at the end of the day. we are not talking about whether you want more taxes or fewer taxes, people are fueled by unhinged lies. the unwillingness of lyrical figures to call that out is really extraordinary. >> abby phillip, david axelrod,

david gergen, our thanks deal. update from san francisco police chief, stay with us for that. also ahead, president obama on the campaign trail for the first time before these midterms to help boost democratic voter turnout for some tight races. we will check with jeff zeleny in atlanta following the former president, that is next. here's a pool party. look what i brought! liberty mutual! they customize your home insurance... so you only pay for what you need! ♪young people having a good time with insurance.♪ ♪young people.♪ ♪good times.♪ ♪insurance!♪ only pay for what you need. ♪liberty liberty. liberty. liberty.♪ every call you make is being recorded. and you're being followed. we're looking into sexual harassment in hollywood. specifically harvey weinstein. you're scared. anyone would be.

we are waiting on update from san francisco police department on the attack on paul pelosi, husband of house speaker nancy pelosi. it is a pro stock or any moment and when it does we will bring that live. turning to the midterms, former obama has cut ads and held fundraisers. the first time in his election cycle, former president return to the camping trip to try to help democrats drive up turnout for a number of high profile close races. he is in georgia tonight. after that, scheduled to be in michigan, wisconsin, nevada, and pennsylvania where he is expected to appear with president biden. with me as chief national affairs correspondent jeff zeleny, who is trailing the former president tonight in

college park, georgia outside of atlanta. how critical is former president obama and his role and how big of a role will it play for democrats for this midterm stretch? >> reporter: there is no doubt the former president has one goal in mind, that is to get georgia voters out to the polls. early voting over the next week and vote by election day. he is still speaking behind me here, he says democracy is on the ballot. continuing a theme he has talked about post-presidency, worried about the rising tensions in politics. he is also delivering very sharp message against republicans, he acknowledged inflation is a problem in the country. it is a worldwide problem. voters should stop to think what republicans would do about inflation. he also laid into the republican senate candidate here, herschel walker. praised him as a good football player, said he simply is not up to the task of being a

senator. there are no niceties here tonight. the former president directly going after republican party, clearly acknowledging democratic presence facing his own party. >> barack obama ran for senate, you covered. watching the audience as you stand reporting, it feels very familiar to him. former president obama mentioned the attack on paul pelosi moments ago in his speech. what did he say? >> reporter: he did. in passing, he said, he is saying a prayer for paul pelosi, close friend of the obamas. very close to speaker pelosi. he reached out to speaker pelosi, she was traveling in california. framed this in conversation about erosion of civility and norms of politics. he did not cast blame, he did not dwell on that. you simply set a prayer for paul pelosi and wished him the best. i don't know if you could hear it, going after some old

standard campaign minds here. he says don't boo, vote. midterm elections have never been his strong suit, when he was in the white house, he did not perform well in 2010 or 2014. he is urging democrats to vote. tomorrow he goes to michigan, wisconsin, on the nevada, pennsylvania next weekend. >> jeff zeleny, thank you very much. perspective from commentator scott jennings, former specialist to former president george w. bush and longtime political advisor to mitch mcconnell and terry mcauliffe, former governor of virginia and former chair democratic national committee. you hurt jeff zeleny talk about the midterms, if anyone knows how tough midterms can be, it is president obama. what difference can he make in georgia for raphael warnock? >> first of all, president obama with the democratic party, going to these handful of states to energize folks to come out, democracy on the line.

he is such a great surrogate for the democrats to be out there energizing people. let me say for a second, i would be remiss if i did not mention paul pelosi. friend of mine 40 years. literally one of the nicest people you will have ever met. i communicated with the speaker several hours ago, to think what that family is going through today, it is wrong. we as a nation have got to come together. go back to the united states of america. i'm on the show was scott, he and i differ politically. that does not mean scott and i cannot be friends. scott used to work for mitch mcconnell when i was governor my last year, the secretary of transportation was elaine chao, married to mitch mcconnell, billions of dollars of infrastructure projects. i went to see her, we need this. she said jerry is democratic governor, i'm not going to do it, she did it because it was right for virginia and the country. we have to get to a place in this nation where the hatred and divisiveness stops, the horrible rhetoric we have. we need to come together as a nation, united states of america. it will make us stronger. i think important elements on

the ballot this year in the election. people have to go out and vote. to have to show we are the strongest democracy in the world. they so what happened today, tragic what happened to paul pelosi today. you saw steve scalise, where they wanted to get the governor of michigan, gretchen whitmer, kidnap her. i went through it death threat last year, state police had to protect me. we have to get away from this and get back to a place with common ground and we can get things done together. president obama, that is his message tonight in georgia and other states he is going to. >> scott jennings, watching barack obama finish up in georgia, he seems to be enjoying the moment right now. what kind of impact do republicans think barack obama can make? is there something he does that scares you? >> not in particular. before i address the politics of president obama campaign, i want to address with the

governor said. i agree wholeheartedly with everything he said. what happened to the pelosi household and mr. pelosi is terrible. it is disgusting. i'm very concerned, candidly in our politics, starting to treat politicians like something less than human. they are not entities, human entities like the rest of us, there to be disrespected or violated in this way. it is awful. i wanted to of knowledge with the governor said, i totally agree. it is a sentiment everybody ought to be addressing tonight. on the politics of president obama campaigning, the reason he is campaigning in these important states is because joe biden can't. joe biden one of the biggest liabilities for democrats in this election. barack obama still pretty popular guy, popular among democrats to control crowd, joe biden has had trouble drawing crowds. i understand why he is on the campaign trail. i don't think he will fix inflation in the next 10 days, he will not fix the national crime wave in the next 10 days, he will not fix the border in the next 10 days. people excited to turn out, from

the public and perspective are not going to be persuaded. i'm really unhappy with the direction of the country a 70% of people are, but because obama asked me, i will change my entire outlook on america, that does not bother any republican at all. i get why he is out there, it will not be a determinate. >> i want to thank both of you for being with us tonight. i have to cut the discussion short, we need to hear from san francisco police chief. thank you both for your words and changing political atmosphere. if there is beer, i'm there. thank you both very much. coming up after long back and forth, elon musk officially owns twitter. what changes may be heading for the social media platforms and whether new ownership could overtime aunts on former individuals like the former president.

we're waiting for update from san francisco police on the attack on paul pelosi, the husband of house speaker nancy pelosi. that should come any minute now. less than two weeks before the midterm elections, one of the prime venues for sharing news analysis, results, information in general. elon musk owns twitter or as his profile states, he is, quote, chief twit. it became official last night, $44 billion purchase comes after

lengthy saga is on the company suit musk to complete a deal he proposed and wanted out of. there are number of questions about his next move, for instance, who will lead twitter after he fired the top three executives? what if changes are coming to the moderation policies? how will that affect bans on individuals such as former president donald trump? i'm joined by new cnn mita analyst sara fischer, also reports for axios. great to see you. can you walk us through what you know so far about what elon musk might have planned for twitter? >> reporter: of course. he definitely wants to roll back content moderation, twitter should be a place for free speech. the other thing to expect is a lot of investment in engineering and product. elon musk has brought two major companies public. he also has other companies that are private, big innovators, i expect him to invest a lot of new talent. used to bring a lot of new executives. he fired the ceo, he fired the general counsel, the cfo, i'm hearing from sources already,

people are brought inside the building for paypal executives, twitter executives, potentially talking to for roles. the last big thing elon musk is thinking about, big picture, maybe making twitter super app, something like we chat where you do a bunch of different things with one app. uphill battle, twitter have to go through a lot of changes to get there. >> when will we know what happens to donald trump's account? >> reporter: good question. elon musk has said anyone permanently banned will be reinstated eventually. today, he tweeted, there is going to be new content moderation counsel and no major decisions about reinstating accounts would happen until the council convened. my guess is elon musk is doing that took cut the decision until after the midterms. that is probably a wise thing to do. i expect you will see that decision come at least by

january. the reason is this, facebook, meta, the parent company, supposed to make a decision about whether or not trump account i reinstated there. i think elon musk will want to match his reinstatement with whatever they are doing or beat them to it. >> the feeling is donald trump will end up on the platform, it may take time. sara fischer, great to see you again today. thank you very much. still had, investment tom zalaski warning fellow democrats the fate of the house could be decided in his new jersey district. he is facing a tight race, the details are ahead. shannon feels so good about her plan, she can enjoy more of right now. that's the planning effect, from fidelity. changing microscopic batteries. now this is eargo. and they're rechargeable. can it get any easier? that's the eargo difference.

to san francisco, police giving an update on the attack on paul pelosi. >> thank you again for being here. i want to give you an update, as we said we would, given as much as we can talk about at this moment. let me start off by saying this

is still a coordinated and collaborative effort between the san francisco police department, the federal bureau of investigations, the fbi, the u.s. attorney's office, the u.s. capitol police, and our san francisco attorney's office led by d.a. brook jenkins. at this time, the san francisco police department is still the lead investigating agency. each agency is evaluating the facts that unfold from this investigation and evaluating those facts within their respective authorities to take the appropriate action. first, i'd like to provide a little more detail of what transpired this morning when the officers arrived at the scene. we've gotten a lot of questions. we want to clarify some things. there are just a lot of theories and speculation out there. so, i will provide the detail i can, but please understand that

this is an ongoing and active investigation. and there is a lot that we still need to dig into. so, when the officers arrived and knocked on the front door of the residence this morning, the door was opened by someone inside, and the officers observed through the open door mr. pelosi and a suspect, mr. depape, inside the entryway of the home. at this time, the officers remain outside of the threshold of the home, and they observed mr. pelosi and mr. depape each with one hand on a single hammer. there was one hammer that the officer observed. officers, while still outside of the doorway threshold, gave commands to both then to drop the hammer. mr. depape immediately pulled the hammer away from mr. pelosi and violently attacked him with the hammer.

the officers immediately entered, tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took the hammer away from him, and took the suspect, mr. depape, into custody. they requested emergency backup, and they rendered medical aid. i can confirm that mr. depape forced entry into a rear door at the rear of the pelosi home. and i'd like to re-emphasize the quick response and actions of our officers, officer kolby willmis, officer kyle cagney, and sergeant edmund wong. also, i want to re-emphasize and thank our dispatcher heather grimes for her intuition, her quick thinking. she had to interpret what she was being told. and based on her experience and her intuition, she basically figured out that there was something more to this incident than what she was being told. her actions, in my opinion, resulted in both a higher

priority dispatch and a faster police response. i think this was life-saving. lastly, i want to thank our firefighters and paramedics from the san francisco fire department also for a quick response in transporting mr. pelosi for medical assistance at the hospital. let me -- we've gotten a lot of questions about security. first of all, i want to say that the u.s. capitol police is responsible for protection of speaker pelosi and her family. the san francisco police department will assist in any way we can. i've been in contact with chief tom manger of the u.s. capitol police. we've been in contact with his investigators, at least one of his chiefs, and we are working collaboratively. any questions about the security of the pelosi home should be referred to the u.s. capitol police.

that is their responsibility, and i would ask that you refer any questions about security to them. i won't be able to answer any of those questions. we also have received questions about how many times mr. pelosi was struck. and there's a lot of speculation out there. what we know is he was struck at least one time. we're going through our evidence, our evidence, and when we have a definitive answer, we can release that. but right now we don't. so, we know he was struck at least one time, and that's what we know. we also know, based on our investigation at this point, that this was not a random act. this was intentional. and it's wrong. our elected officials are here to do the business of their cities, their counties, their states, and this nation. their families don't sign up for this, to be harmed. and it is wrong. and everybody should be

disgusted about what happened this morning. with that, we will take any questions. and we will only answer what we can answer . >> there was some sort of law enforcement activity at the suspect's home, and can you clarify what may be going on there in terms of any search warrants? are search warrants going to be postponed? please update that situation. >> well, this investigation -- there's a lot of moving parts. we are writing search warrants, and as we learn more, we may have to write more search warrants. that's about all i can say. i don't have any results, and our investigators have been on this since the wee hours of the morning and they're still on it. so, we're going to do everything we can to uncover every piece of evidence that we can to hold this person accountable. >> so, they have been into the home? >> i'm not sure they've been into the home at this point.

but i do know we've written search warrants and that work is ongoing. >> is the suspect on a 51-50 hold or are they in jail? >> the suspect is still in the hospital. definitely i cannot release and it's not appropriate for me to release any of the suspect's medical information. but the suspect is still in the hospital. we intend to book the suspect, whether it's in absentia or in person. he will be booked on felony charges. i cannot confirm anything about this person's medical condition. >> last question right up here. >> you say this wasn't a random act. what can you say about -- do you think this was politically motivated? >> we are not at the point where we can say what the motive is publicly. but we do know this was intentional. it is not random. we know that. we know that. >> the dispatcher, can you say anything about how they attempt to interpret the call, why he couldn't speak plainly? >> what i can say is that dispatchers have to report what's being told to them.

and when you have an experienced dispatcher with good instincts, they -- they learn how to read between the lines. but they have to report what's being told. they can't report anything other than what's being told. she knew something more was going on just in her heart and her intuition, just with her experience. and that caused for a higher priority than this type of call normally receives. this was a well ---she just knew there was more to it. she alerted our officers. because of that they dispatched it at a higher priority than this type call usually is. >> that's all for now. thank you very much. >> did -- call 911. >> he was able to call 911. he was the caller. he was able to call 911 and dispatch kind of took it from there and read between the lines.

so, just a road going all the way around. >> was he speaking in a code so the assailant wouldn't know he was on the phone? is that essentially -- >> what he said, she felt that there was something more to it. but, again, dispatchers have to report what they're being told. but thankfully, experience and intuition -- you know, sometimes when you're in this business long enough, you kind of get a sense for things. and her intuition was on point. >> that will do it for now. we're done for this evening. thank you very much. >> thank you all. >> that was chief william scott from the san francisco police department giving an update on the attack on paul pelosi, the husband of house speaker nancy pelosi. he said it was not a random act. it was intentional. it was wrong. everyone should be disgusted. no details specifically on whether it was politically
