11:01 pm
thanks so much for joining us tonight. you can follow me on facebook, instagram, twitter and tiktok. our coverage continues with alysson camarada. >> good evening everyone. this is cnn tonight. laura is off this evening. so tonight we have new details about the violent attack on speaker nancy pelosi's 82-year- old husband paul in his home. an intruder attacked him with a hammer. sources say the attacker was shouting, where's nancy. and when they quote arrived he told them that he was quote waiting for nancy. >> every person of good conscious need to clearly and
11:02 pm
inambiguously stand up to violence. regardless of what your politics are. >> reporter: this part will not shock you the alleged attacker posted conspiracy theories on facebook. including links to multiple videos from mike lundell saying insane things about the 2020 election. sto not only are our elects officialed in danger days before the midterms but their families. let's bring in jonathan wakrove and jewel juliet. graham. good to have you with us. here's what the chief said based on their latest information, let's listen. >> we also know based on our investigation at this point that this was not a random act.
11:03 pm
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. >> juliet we feared that things like this would happen. politico, they don't have a motive yet. there's still early days, but it still looks and feels like political violence. >> where's nancy. she's the second in line for the presidency and he was looking for her. we're looking at this as an attack on paul but it essentially was an attack on nancy pelosi. if you think of it in those terms it would be hard to denny this deany this deny this is
11:04 pm
a political attack. it was someone who got radicalized through the fake election and january 6th and that things were taken away from him. he may have mental issues. >> it does. it seems he has a long history of being unhinged from neighbors and friends. >> a lot of people have mental issues but they don't do this. who and what noise was leading him there. that's going to be very interesting and who else is picking up on that. i think the threat level for other federal officials is just, it's got to remain high. and there has to be vigilance for them and protection for them. at least until after the election. >> and that leads us to their families. i was surprised to learn today that our top leaders families don't get protection. >> it's stunning. it's stunning. to juliet's point. this is the number two person in line of presidential succession. the fact that their house was broken into. that there was no residential
11:05 pm
security. the fact that the husband was attacked physically, violently is in the hospital. this is unacceptable full stop. we're not, this is not a new threat environment that we're living in right now. this has been around for a long time. we're hearing warning after warning but we're not taking the right action. we're not police stationing the right control measures. >> what should we be doing? >> we should be focused on protecting these congressional leaders. members of congressional leaders. >> she has protection in washington, d.c. but are you saying all of the families in this climate because it's gotten that bad, should have protection. because obvious lip that ly it costs a lot of money, etc. etc. >> the let's put the money aside. the government spends money on a lot of
11:06 pm
things. when you're in line for the office of the presidency in the united states you need 24 hour protection on your home, you need protection of your spouse, your family, everybody that could impact. because here's why. today family members are soft targets. they're the path of least resistance for an attacker. we know that, we've seen that time and time again. there's a material impact that will occur in speaker pelosi's ability to lead right now. because now she's removed from the game. two weeks out we're concentrating on the attack of her husband not the midterm cycle etc. so protection has a purpose, and we need to apply it correctly to the threat ensreurplt that jewel yet environment that juliet has been tacking about for years. >> it's textbook what you find on his sites. mike lundell famous conspiracy
11:07 pm
theorist. conspiracy nonsense about january 6th. so we've seen it time and again juliet. there's a connection. but why can't we figure out the connection before the violence happens. >> because there are nurtures of this type of violence coming from leadership of the gop. the person that's likely to get the nomination. donald trump. uses the language of fighting. he targets people. we don't have to be shy about it. we don't have to do both side. let's be clear about this. there's violence that is directed and nurtured. and that's denied, supported or embraced. and there's people who say that's just trump or whatever. especially from people of his
11:08 pm
party. that's actually helpful for the radicalization because there's no shaming. >> but would the shaming help. >> imagine that world in which the party shunned the violence. it would be a totally different world. and yes, there's going to be outliars. there's going to be people who are still violent but they're not going to be supported by an apparatus that gives them legit legitimacy and this is where we're at. >> well there are republicans that are tweeting about this. former vice presidentdoes a tweet help. >> it does help. the opposite would be worse.
11:09 pm
but one tweet does not change what has been beginning on with nancy pelosi and the world i follow. she more than biden biden has become the target. it is nancy pelosi who's been the target. where's nancy it's a direct line from january 6th. the line that we're saying just they were chanting that. they were looking for her. >> i just want to follow up on one thing. this behavior has been normalized and that's really, really dangerous. >> meaning political violence or rhetoric. >> rhetoric that lead into violence. it's a flash and a bang. right. so it's that rhetoric first that we see ma saás
11:10 pm
matastesizing. we have to do better. we have to take a different approach to one suppressing that type of ideology. that type of thinking and we have to take a stronger stance against domestic violence extremism, hate, everything that encompasses. this is the consequence. we've seen it. >> threats against lawmakers are skyrocketing and federal officials warning today the danger could get worse with the mid-temples so midterms so what is the answer. >> and are condemning it loudly enough tonight. . certified from headlamp to tailpipe. that's certified head turns.
11:11 pm
and it's all backed by our unlimited mileage warranty. that means unlimited peace of mind. mercedes-benz certified pre-owned. translation: the mercedes of your dreams is closer than you think.
11:12 pm
hey guys, detect this: living with hiv, i learned that i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen.
11:13 pm
detect this: no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems... if you have a rash or other allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato.
11:14 pm
do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. detect this: i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about switching to dovato. the attack on speaker nancy pelosi's husband in their san francisco home is shocking washington and the country. >> are leaders condemning violence loud enough tonight? we have congresswoman schultz and strategist hyde. congresswoman, i am sure this sent a shiver down your spine and down the spine of all lawmakers in washington. what was the conversation you were having with colleagues today. >> just year after year after year. the political violence and the
11:15 pm
looming threat from members of congress just doing their job. whether it was gabby giffords being shot at a community event in 2011. to scalise at a baseball game to nancy pelosi's husband being attacked in their home. i experienced it when 16 bomb packages were sent out to cnn, to electives around the country with my return address and my district office return address on the packages. one came back to my office. sat with my staff a bomb package that had to be detonated under the staircase. and my staff had that in the office for two dais. i days. and it's just gotten worse. >> there were 902 threats to members of congress. as if that weren't bad enough it has grown expenentially.
11:16 pm
1,205. >> it started when one person went down the escalator. we saw the rhetoric that donald trump exploded on to the scene that has been aid and copied from acolides. not to your member of congress but an activist and acolides who go to trump hotel and hope to see the goolies that were around the trump world. >> the star wars bar. >> that's right. you draw between donald trump into the political world and that. >> did it precede trump. of course it did. when gabby gifford was shot on a saturday in late 2011 that was predated donald trump. but the explosion has come because of him. it's why, i can't police what the other side can do. i can try and police what my side does and i tell them constantly you have to be vigilant in pushing back on
11:17 pm
this. if you don't. we're no longer talking in theory. my concern about donald trump's rhetoric is if people are going to get hurt. that's not my concern anymore. people are going to get hurt. we've been lucky nobody has been killed yet. >> this is exactly what congressman kissinger was saying today. let's play. >>s . >> this is when you convince folks that the vote was take -p. this taken. this is what everybody need to speak out of. when scalise was shot. to the republicans not speaking out now, let me say this. this is going to be visited on our side not that it matters what side you're on. but speak out now. >> so, some did tweet today. i was just saying former vice president pence did tweet that there's no toll
11:18 pm
tolerance for public officials he called it an outrage. but then there's governor glen youngken who for some sends had compassion then immediately pivoted back to rhetoric. here's that moment. >> speaker pelosi's husband, they had a break -in last night in their house. we're going to send her back to be with him in california. >> the fact is america is more polarized than it's been in generations where almost half of democrats regard republicans as corrupt and a threat to the country. and the same number of democrats feel the same way about the other side of the party. unfortunately this is going to get worse rather than better. we need structural reform like a shift rank voting and nonpartisan
11:19 pm
primaries that would dis empower incentives at least in one of the major parties if not both. >> is that enough? >> no, we need to call out this violence. stop inciting the violence. we have people who's lives are being jeopardized. paul pelosi was bludgeoned with a hammer in his home by an extremist who is a qanon supporter. >> who did you want to hear from today that you didn't? >> we didn't want to hear the virginia politician who says we're going to send her back to san francisco. >> we learned that donald trump doesn't come out in moments
11:20 pm
like these and he doesn't like to tamp it down. i think we've learned he often gens it up. is there somebody who could come out and tamp it down if not him? >> you have had a lot of officials say it was outrageous. >> the right wing extremist maga volunteers are out at early voting sites intimidating voters, intimidating poll work ergs. that should be called out. >> that should be called out in arizona as well. yes that happens on both side. lee zelden was attacked on stage in new york when he was
11:21 pm
campaigning as republican governor. >> so who should speak out? >> a lot of people could speak out, it's depending on whether it will be effective. steve scal ise has said it the right thing. but you have to say it over and over again. >> social media disinformation and sentiment the spread six times more quickly than being positive. the incentives right now are disproportionally affecting people. it gets them money, fame, appeal. if you don't change the incentives you're just going to see more and more of this. trump was a catalyst for sure but the trend have been building and they're just going to continue. even after trump receives from the scene. >> you need stronger take down policies on the part of social media companies for some of this extremist rhetoric that
11:22 pm
excites expenentially. >> i for one am tired of saying if we all said the right thing then all of this would go away. it's not going to go away. it's here to stay. >> i spent last week reading the of mass dilutions. i put down the book and say curse word. and it pick it up again and put it down and say curse word. but it details everything that is hard to do. >> made it back to the primary because they did away with the party. saying anybody can vote for anybody. sarah palin loses in that
11:23 pm
primary. but we're beginning to reward the behavior. >> president obama back on the trail tonight in georgia. we'll tell you what he's saying about the attack on speaker pelosi's husband and his thoughts on herschel walker, that's next. you get the services of the post office right on your computer stamps.com saves you money with great rates from usps and ups mail letters ship packages anytime anywhere for less a lot less get our special tv offer a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and get started today

11:27 pm
11 days to go before the midterms and millions of americans are taking advantage of early voting. president biden and vice president harris in a rare joint appearance on the trail in pennsylvania and former president obama stumping in georgia. here piece what he had to say about the attack on nancy
11:28 pm
pelosi's husband. >> i want to take a moment just to say a prayer for a friend of mine, mr. paul pelosi who was attacked. a politics where some in office or who was fired office worked to stir up division. to make folks as angry and as afraid of one another for their own advantage. and all of this has been amped up. hyped up. 24/7 on social media. on platforms that oftentimes find controversy and conflict more profitable than telling the truth. >> back with me andrea yang, this is exactly what we were
11:29 pm
just saying. can we just stop using social media. >> then how would we find out about the thoughts of that random person. >> i mean, i'm not asking this rhetorically. but it does seem to be the root of a lot of our problems. and i don't know what to do about the vile under belly. >> the worldwide web find autocraty. it splintered the american consciousness into a dozen different information silos. giving people their own version of the fact it's very hard to reintergrate that. it's hard to change that. >> i rest my case. >> there's so much semitism and racist that has been there in
11:30 pm
the dark. >> it's lit the fuse. >> and can help us fight it. i also want to speak about former president obama in georgia. he spoke a lot about herschel walker. >> let's say you're at the airport and you see mr. walker and you say, hey, there's herschel walker, heisman winner let's have him fly the plane. you probably wouldn't say that. you would want to know, does he know how to fly an airplane. seems to me he's a celebrity who wants to be a politician. and we've seen how that goes. >> who will fight to keep you and your family safe? the republican politicians who want to flood our streets with
11:31 pm
more guns? who actually voted against more resources for our police departments? is it somebody who carries around a phony badge and says he's in law enforcement. like he's a kid playing cops and robbers. or is it leaders like reverend warnack. >> so president obama seems to be having some fun with that. there, doug will that change anything? >> that comment about police banals to badges to me seems like an attack on elvis presley and i won't stand for it. but republicans are more enthusiastic about this election than democrats. it could make a step in that direction. we haven't seen obama, biden or harris in north carolina. obama won it in 2008. he lost it in 2012 but it's
11:32 pm
been a close state since 2001. >> where does it go from there. >> it's not just hersc hel walker. this runs deep. they nominated a tv doctor. who perhaps your mayor should be decided your reproductive health care decisions. >> i know you're referring to dr. oz. do you think president obama being there. does it help rev up voter turn out. >> president obama is beloved by our base. beloved by americans on all across the spectrum. he's an incredible advocate for our candidates, for our agenda. he gave health care to 20
11:33 pm
million more americans. and rolling back so much of our other projects. making sure we got shots in arms. and stopped cutting taxes for the wealthy. >> we're ahead of republicans in early voting across the country. >> we'll see what that changes to on election day. before i ask you about president obama. it was senate majority schumer. where he was talking about democrats weakening charges in georgia, here's that moment. >> the stake holder will see. it's hard to believe that they
11:34 pm
will vote for herschel walker. >> the state where we're going downhill, it's georgia. it's hard to believe they would be going for herschel walker baa that is what the polls are suggests. >> i sr-pbtd seen any haven't seen any poll that would avoid a run off. they're planning to visit between election day and november 6th when the run off will be. when it will just be warnack versus walker. ugh ár but i but i think they have better numbers. >> voters are voting. we're sort of done with polls honestly. the voters are out there. vote by mail ballots need to be turned in. election cast is 11 days from now. the polls are very nice but
11:35 pm
what matters is getting people out to the polls and that's going to be the proof in the puddle. >> you would say that that matters on election day. that one is not true. and there's one on election day. >> we may be revisiting georgia again. >> good one. and political leaders are looking at family safety. we will talk to a lawmaker who faced threats after president trump went after him.
11:36 pm
11:37 pm
i love san francisco, but i'm working overtime to stay here. now is not the time
11:38 pm
to raise taxes. i'm voting no on propositions m and o, because the cost of everything is going up. san francisco collects more tax revenue than nearly any city in america. but our streets are dirty and public safety is not getting better. i'm working hard to live within my budget. the city should too. join me in voting no on m and o. now is not the time to raise taxes in san francisco. vote no on m and o.
11:39 pm
speaking nancy pelosi's husband is expected to make a full recovery after being attacked by an intruder with a hammer at their home in the middle of the night. the alleged intruder was yelling, where's nancy, where's
11:40 pm
nancy. pennsylvania state senator and his daughter have been victims. you're set to retire as you're the president pro-tem. you've obviously seen a lot but is it safe to say nothing like what you saw after the 2020 election when starting that night, you began getting i guess fervent calls for you to take action. >> yeah, after the 2020 elections was just one of the crazy times. we just came out of covid and you get into the 2020 election. the calls we got were sort of from the left. don't you dare interfere with the race. then when we didn't interfere we would get calls from the right. it was threatening on the right. for someone who has a family, it was disturbing. >> these calls continued through the holidays.
11:41 pm
from election day, through christmas, through new year's and all the way through i guess june when president trump then tweeted this about you. why is state senator jake cornin of pennsylvania fighting so hard that there not be an audit of the election. >> we got more protests. more calls. those people like the president who have a wide social media following when they speak that generates people to act. unfortunately sometimes. we got a lot of calls and we had some demonstrations around our home and like that. i didn't have it nearly as bad. speaker conley had dozens go to his house. when you have young children, i got an e-mail from somebody that said. i know where you live. i know where your kid go to school. i know where your walk your dog. which made me feel better
11:42 pm
because i don't really walk my dog. but when you get that as a father, that's as scary as it gets. >> it was a time of turmoil in the community. hearing my friend and my friend's families prepare to do this whole kind of riot outside our house and they did a little bit of a drive around. honking their horns. >> meaning even friend of yours were suddenly attacking your family. >> it was something that i was so surprised to hear. it was something that i never thought their uncles, parents would just trard my humanity and my disregard my humanity and my disregard my humanity.
11:43 pm
and we were luckily to know about it beforehand that we got out of town. because i remember my youngest brother who definitely has taken a lot of it internally about the comments said about my dad. he was looking outside the window just kind of waiting and seeing if anything would happen. we were truthfully scared in that moment. >> basically you had to flee your home? >> essentially we just didn't want to be around for a moment like that. i we put up signs like no trespassing. >> we put in no tresz trespassing signs. >> what were they doing? >> they were driving around the block honking horns. >> there were the allegations that the attack er behind paul
11:44 pm
pelosi, was asking for. >> with a click of a button you can ask thousands of people to do violence in this country. that's very scary. because it's not regulated. i think we can assume government officials, we need to find a way to regulate this because it's just an explosion. it's in the hands of people who can anonymously do these things i think inspires violence and something the government has to take a look at. >> you did decide to make an audit. >> sunshine is always a good thing. if you go do an investigation and if you don't find anything
11:45 pm
that dispels a lot of conspiracies. if you inspire something to make change. i thought the more sunshine we showed on our process to see exactly what happened and that made sure that would be a positive. >> i think the only unfortunate aspect we're talking about a couple of months back. is despite the investigation what the outcomes were. people were already set on their mind. everyone if we would have come out with substantial evidence either way people already had their mind made up because they went with this the entire time. >> you still consider yourself a republican. what is your answer for this level of the political rhetoric. >> i have a lot of hope in my generation. i go to college and i'm in a predominantlyly in an area with an open mind set. at the end of the day you have
11:46 pm
to put yourselves in someone elses shoes. i as a republican i was definite any factually scared at first to reveal that ideology because i didn't want people to put backlash about this. but now i've joined several groups and they're pretty proud that we can talk with openness. >> every time i talk to someone in your generation, it gives me hope. you did join the race but you opted out. do you think his positions represent where most pennsylvanians are. >> if you believe the polling that is probably no. obviously polling is not 100% accurate. he's going to have a race here in a couple of days or a couple of weeks of finally making a decision. my concern on why i got into the race and finally out of it.
11:47 pm
is because i was talking to a candidate. we needed to put the best out there not just someone who had a fringe to the par party. that's why i got out there and supported my opponent. >> i was hoping to see my dad in this spot. because i really think he has a very open mind and moderate views in the stances i do too. it's responsible to see the republican party nominate someone i don't necessarily agree with down the line. i hope to see a republican governor in the future and we'll see what happens on november 8th. but we had a governor for the last eight years as a democrat. i would definite hi like ly like to see some change in
11:48 pm
that. >> really appreciate you bringing us your take on this. you can tweet me at alysso ncamarada. i will read your tweets later on in the program. that lets you shop tens of thousands of cars 100% online so you can buy, sell or even trade your car from anywhere it's getting as soon as next day delivery or picking your new ride up at one of our sleek car vending machines. and it's the comfort of a seven day return policy to make sure it fits your life. because at carvana, we take joy in making every customer well happy. carvana will drive you happy. over 5 million people have fallen in love with a portable blender. blendjet 2 gives you ice-crushing, big blender power on-the-go. so you can throw in your favorite ingredients and blend up a delicious smoothie anytime, anywhere.

closed captioning brought to you by flex seal family of products. october is breast cancer awareness month and each year in the u.s. roughly 264,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. and 42,000 women die from the disease. back with me is congresswoman debby wasserman-schultz who was diagnosed when she was 42 years
11:53 pm
old but is now cancer free. we're here to sound the alarm. everyone even though breast cancer rates have improved. but in the last years something has happened. >> since covid, 80% of women skipped their mammograms that were 40 years old and even higher rate for women of color. we know when that happens we have cancers that are coming down the pike that are going to be detected down the pipe that are going to be harder. >> i think that for many women getting a diagram can be so anxiety provoking. >> it is not a fun experience for sure. but it is an absolute necessity for women 40 years and older. i was 41 years old, it came
11:54 pm
back clean except for some calcifications. that raised my antenna and i did a self-exam a few months late herb later and i found a lump that had not been there. >> and you went through cancer without really telling anyone. did that make it harder or easier easier. >> it made it easier for me, for my family. the twins were 9 years old and my daughter was six. i knew i was going to be okay because it was caught earl early but i didn't want to worry them. i wanted to make sure i was more than cancer and not in a tag line debby wasserman- schultz that is currently battling cancer.
11:55 pm
that was important to me. >> i understand. when you were texting me, saying you wanted to come on. you said you were going to act as my jewish mother and prod me to get a mammogram. which i did. you're welcome. >> thank you very much. >> if there's someone who is very anxious about it which i am. it took some reframing which i did. and it helped. this is how you detect it early. when you go in for mammograms you think, this is where bad news happens. where actually it's the opposite. >> you need to go in for your mammogram. they can see on the scan what's normal for you. they're more likely to detect it. they don't have the consistent view of what you look like, and then on top of that, you should do breast self-exam once a month. so that you know what's normal for you so that you know when something feels different. that's how i found my lump.
11:56 pm
i knew pretty much what i normally felt like and when i felt the lump which is right about here it was less than half a centimeter. it felt like that ball at the end of the jacks. you know when you play jacks. that's what it felt like. it was hard and small and i went to the doctor. and they had a hard time seeing it. but they said let's do a biopsy. everyone came back clean. three days later when they did the pathology it came back as breast cancer. >> here you are all these years later. >> almost 15 years later. >> obviously you're living proof of early detention. >> and young women can and do get breast cancer that's so critical for people to know and for doctors to know because doctors are often dismy
11:57 pm
dismissive when they go to them with a problem. it displays different in young women. early detection is the key. >> i'm a believer. thank you so much for sharing your story. speaker nancy pelosi's husband as you know was attacked today in their home. this was the same day that the feds warned about domestic violence extremists may pose a threat. so what are we doing about all of this? that's next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
