11:00 am
hello, everyone. welcome to cnn newsroom.
11:01 am
>> soon the suspect accused of attacking nancy pelosi's husband will be in court for the first time. the attack is prompting the u.s. capitol police chief to seek more security resources. he said a plan would add redundancies already in place for congressional leadership. he said hopefully you can understand that we cannot disclose the details about these improvements because our country cannot afford to make it easier for any potential bad actors. >> this just in moments ago. the alleged attacker faces a litany of charges from state and federal prosecutors including allegedly attempting to kidnap speaker pelosi who was not home friday when the incident took place. the city's district attorney further detailed what happened to paul pelosi in the moments before officers arrived, saying the suspect entered the bedroom and forced the 82-year-old man out of bed while confronting pelosi about where his wife was.
11:02 am
cnn's senior legal analyst joins us now. so break down these charges for us. they're both federal and state. something you said would likely happen yesterday and this doesn't constitute double jeopardy. >> so two different sets of charges brought by the state of california. those are your more straightforward assault, battery and attempted murder charges. nothing to prove beyond the physical acts in those cases really. the federal charges are a little more complicated because those get into the issue of motive and intent. what was the reason behind the attack. if you look at the federal complaint filed yesterday, the argument is this person, mr. pelosi, was targeted because he's an immediate family member of the speaker and that the effort was one to try to intimidate or retaliate for speaker pelosi's politics. so that's what makes this federal. like you said, there is not a double jeopardy problem here so both these prosecutions can proceed at the same time. >> according to the affidavit, the defendant said there is a political motive.
11:03 am
he wanted to send a pledge to nancy pelosi. but if he broke her knee caps and she had to wheel into congress, that would send a pledge to other leaders. >> the phrase domestic terrorism is defined in our federal law and it essentially means just that. to commit some act of violence with the intent of trying to influence or intimidate our politics. however, a strange loophole. there is no crime that attaches to domestic terrorism on its own. there have been various legislative proposals in the house and the senate over the last few years to close that loophole. to make it a crime but they have not gotten through. there are various statutes that can be used, like the assault, the attempted kidnapping. it's a crime, for example, to intentionally target a mass transit or a subway for political purposes. but domestic terrorism as defined in the federal law is a stand-alone definition without a crime attached. >> so you're here for a lot of breaking news. stick with us. we're just hearing from the house january 6th committee is
11:04 am
in discussions now. we're hearing from liz cheney, co-chair of the committee, saying they're in discussions with former president trump's legal counsel about potentially testifying under oath. let's listen. >> committee's is in discussions with president trump's attorneys and he has an obligation to comply. and we treat this and take this very seriously. we haven't made determinations about the format itself, but it will be done under oath. it will be done potentially over multiple days. we have significant questions based on the evidence that we've developed. and as i said, what we know already about the extent to which he was personally and directly involved in every aspect of this effort. >> so i know this is just preliminary, right? what do you make of this development? >> it's fascinating. in the real world of subpoenas, it is quite common to have negotiations between the parties. sometimes there's an agreement reach where certain topics are
11:05 am
in play or out of play or the person will take some privilege. perhaps the fifth amendment privilege. and it's not crazily uncommon to see people negotiate that. but it's also important to keep in mind. negotiations and discussions are very different from an agreement. you can't get to an agreement without first having negotiations or discussions. so i'm going to remain a little bit skeptical that donald trump actually goes in and testifies. >> a little bit? >> a lot bit skeptical. but this is a step toward that. >> all right. so is this just charades then for the trump team? >> it could be. it depends to what extent they're negotiating in good faithful and looking at liz cheney's comments, it seems they're extending the benefit of the doubt. they're just sort of playing around. they're not being serious. she seems to think or wants to convey that these negotiations are serious. i can't see a scenario where donald trump would testify under oath. a, we know donald trump.
11:06 am
he's said many times before he wanted to testify in front of mueller. they worked out an agreement for written answers which ended up being meaningless. i don't know how his lawyers can let him testify under oath given all legal problems, civil and criminal swirling around him. if he does testify, like they say in the cop shows, everything he says can and will be used. >> he initially said he wanted to testify live publicly. so what could the parameters look like here? i know you're skeptical. perhaps he is buying time. perhaps he's trying to make himself look like he's cooperating. what could this look like in. >> so i think representative cheney is very cautious about not giving donald trump an open mic and open camera. the subpoena has said from the start, you are to come testify at a deposition. meaning we would not be seeing it live. it would be behind closed doors. it would be on the committee's terms. so i think liz cheney thinks it is really important to keep this under control.
11:07 am
to keep this from spiraling into a circus. >> all right. we'll see where these talks go. >> a healthy dose there. >> thank you. we are exactly one week from the mid-term elections. >> pennsylvania is home to one of the closest and most important senate races in the country. the winner could decide which party wins the majority there and has control of the senate. today, both candidates, democrat john fetterman and mehmet oz are releasing dueling messages. >> i only got into politics to make my town a safer place. oz only moved here to use us. i spent my life helping people. oz has made himself rich. >> what is policing is compassion. i'll cut taxes to help families suffering with inflation, strengthen social security and help those suffering from drugs and crime. politicians point fingers.
11:08 am
doctors solve problems. >> jessica dean is covering this race for us. she is in philly. jessica, very different closing messages from these daxts. >> yeah. and this is, look, it's all starting to crystallize. we are one week out. you saw that ad. let's start with dr. oz. it features his family. he talked about getting rid of extremism. being a moderate. that is the final pitch we heard both at last week's debate and the days following. and we'll continue to hear until next week as we try to persuade the more moderate independent volters that the campaign thinks could win him this election. and there was no mention of john fetterman. we saw him set it up as a stark choice between john fetterman and mehmet oz. he's comparing himself. all of this happening as fetterman continues to recover from that stroke. he spoke with don lemon on cnn
11:09 am
this morning, earlier today, going that stroke recovery. i'll let you listen to their exchange. >> i'm asking a question for the voters. the voters may wonder, is there a reason you don't want your doctors to take questions? that's why i keep asking this. >> i just believe that we have our doctors just weigh in on that and they believe that i'm fit to serve. >> and we did see a letter from his doctor the last several weeks that did say he is able to go back to work without any restrictions. but fetterman has said he will not be releasing any additional medical records. but ultimately as we say again and again, up to the voters. they get to decide if this matters, if it doesn't, if it is a deciding factor or the deciding factor in their vote. we've been on the ground talking to so many people. they're talking about issues more than anything else. they're talking about inflation,
11:10 am
crime, abortion, these are the things we keep hearing about and ultimately, we will figure out and see who wins this race in one week when election day is upon us. >> and let's not forget there are hundreds of thousands that that have already cast their vote. thank you. >> yep! the biggest name in both parties are on the campaign trail across the country. president biden just arrived in florida where tonight he will rally democrats and the next hour will tout his party's plan to protect social security and medicare. >> barack obama is in nevada today. he's stumping for the democrats, running for senate and governor. down in georgia, former vice president mike pence is campaigning right now with the republican governor, brian kemp. in michigan, we'll see something very rare today. a gop lawmaker, very conservative congresswoman, campaigning for a democratic candidate. republican congresswoman liz cheney is in michigan to support democratic representative alyssa
11:11 am
slotkin who is locked in to a very tight election. scott jennings is a former special assistant to george w. bush and phillip levine is the former mayor of miami beach, florida. let me start with you. what do you think the influence of a liz cheney endorsement of slot kin is in her district? >> i would say very little impact. if you're somebody who strongly believes the january 6th committee was necessary and you're waiting for them to get trump and finally throw them in jail, you're already voting democrat. i don't think there was anybody sort of in that camp who was waiting for liz cheney to come along and give them permission to vote for a democrat. at the end of the campaign, what you're trying to do, what are we doing?
11:12 am
how do we get on tv? i think there will be republicans who it enrages because they don't like liz cheney anymore. it motivates them. overall, very minimal on the campaign. >> let me ask but the president campaigning in florida today. he is under water in terms of his approval ratings and he's going to be really threatening the republicans' attempt to take over and take away medicare and social security benefits for millions of americans. i know this is something the administration has touted for a while now. they say they included this in the inflation act. it was something we haven't been talking about much until we heard it from another former president, and that was obama, when he was on the campaign trail in wisconsin. does this now come down to a messaging issue for the democrats? >> truthfully, i think it is too little too late. and president biden coming here is fantastic. unfortunately, the democratic
11:13 am
party of florida has been in a semi conscious coma. and i don't think it will do much if anything. think of what's going on. as far as the messaging, florida habitis been hitting on all slowdowns. they've been worried about the inflation. they're concerned about immigration. they're concerned about crime. think about what is going on in our country right now. people are getting mugged. they're getting mugged on the city streets, but they're also getting mugged when they go to the grocery stores. so that's something that they're pinning on the democratic party in washington. they're not pinning it on the republican party that is controlling the state of florida. so i don't believe it will have any impact so late in the game. >> scott, after the oz/fetterman debate, you said it was a mistake for fetterman to dpaflt you said it was a huge cover-up by his campaign in the media. i want you to listen to john
11:14 am
fetterman with don lemon on cnn this morning. >> i always understood, it wouldn't be easy. i'm five months into recovery from that but i thought it was important that i show up and i did. >> it doesn't appear to have shifted the polls dramatically. do you still think it was a mistake? >> i do. and the clip, i listened to that interview this morning on the new morning show. so congrats to don for that. the answer that fetterman gave that stunned me was again him unable to talk about fracking. don pushed him on it. you said it was environmental concerns. those were solved. those were solved before you said you were against it. he really trapped fetterman on that whole fracking issue. it's a big deal in pennsylvania. in a close race, it could make a difference. i continue to think it was a mistake. i think this race is incredibly close. you're talking about, victor, the possibility of it being a few thousand votes either way.
11:15 am
and the possibility of those votes that get counted after election day in pennsylvania. so i think we're in for a close night in pennsylvania and in a couple of states. >> for many voters across the country, not just pennsylvania, it does come down to the economy. let me ask but that. i read a democratic pollster saying the most concerning mattery for democrats should be that independent voters don't trust the party to handle rising prices. do you agree with that assessment? >> 100%. think about it. we had the ppp fraud. i call it the gucci and chanel giveaway. that's what it seemed like the money was used for. then we had the student loans. it was great for those who weren't able to pay back their loans. they feel that wasn't right and they put billions of dollars back into the economy. i think the customer who is the voter looked at that and said, we have inflation. why are you fanning that flame and making it worse? so i have to believe in what i
11:16 am
hear, is that people don't have that sense of confidence in the democrats right now. they don't see it in all the cities. we don't see it in new york or chicago. there is a sense of it with your own personal safety. i have to agree with that poll and i'm sorry to say that so goes florida, i believe so goes the nation. >> really telling coming from a democratic mayor as well. thank you' plug for our new morning show here. we're very excited about it. good to see you both. >> thank you. >> and please join cnn for a special town hall with former vice president mike pence. it will be moderated by jake tapper airing november 16th only here on cnn. it was a violent halloween night in various cities around the country, including houston, where the rapper takeoff from the group migos was shot and killed. and families of the victims of the parkland school massacre speak directly to the shooter

11:22 am
was killed. another six people were shot. this was at a halloween party of high school students. the shooting started when a few uninvited guests were asked to leave and someone in that group started firing into the party. >> in downtown houston, takeoff. a member of the rap group migos was shot and killed this morning. two other people were injured. rosa flores joins us from houston. what more are you learning about the shooting? >> you know, according to the houston police department, this shooting happened in downtown houston at a bowling alley at about 2:30 this morning. police say there was a private party at this venue with about 40 to 50 people. when shots rang out. police are not identifying the victim in this case. only saying that the person who was deceased was a black male in his late 20s and saying two other individuals were transported to the hospital in private vehicles. but a source close to migos, the
11:23 am

tragic loss. rosa flores for us in houston, thank you. in broward county, florida, victims' family members are holding nothing back as they address the parkland high school shooter at his hearing. >> last month the jury recommended he serve a live sentence without the possibility of parole for killing 17 people at marjory stoneman douglas high school in 2018. >> now from broward county, florida, so it's been an incredibly emotional day in the courtroom. what did we hear? >> reporter: well, there is a great deal of anger and disgust that was on display in this courthouse in ft. lauderdale. much of it was directed at nicolas cruz. some of it was set aside for his defense attorneys. things were not only emotional but also pretty tense. earlier this afternoon one of the defense attorneys objected to some of the comments the families made. specifically involving one of
11:25 am
their children. now, in all, we heard from well over a dozen speakers here today. much of them were the family members as well as some of the survivors. all of them were pretty upset at the jury's verdict. they said that the jury got it wrong. they told nicolas cruz to his face that he should have received the death penalty. they said while they move on with their lives, they hope the rest of his life in prison will be filled with great deal of sorrow. here are some of the family members. >> you are unfortunately living proof that evil does exist in our world and you have proven that you have nothing positive to contribute to society. you're not going to be a case study or provide some kind of breakthrough insight into the mind of a school shooter. you're instead going to be relegated to a name on a tombstone that no one ever visits. >> i'm too old to see you live out your life sentence but i hope your every breathing moment

pfizer has released new data from its rsv trial. the company says the results are very promising. it is now on track to file for fda approval this year. >> cnn's chief correspondent is here. what are we learning from this? >> well, first, this is a bad season for rsv. people are hearing this. ten times the hospitalizations as compared to the two years pre-covid. just to give you some scale here, that is really significant. they've been testing this particular vaccine in pregnant women. 7,400 pregnant women. the idea is that a pregnant woman, while they themselves may not be vulnerable to this, they can pass the antibodies of this on to their newborn. and what they're finding is pretty impressive. they're trying to figure out how likely is this vaccine going to protect the newborn babies. they find within the first few
11:33 am
months of life about, 82% effective. keep in mind, there is no vaccine right now. so this is 82% against no other alternative right now. 70% effective for the first six months of life. that's what they're finding so far. again, 7,400 women. the company pfizer believes it is strong enough to apply for approval. this has to be independently vetted but it seems pretty promising. there are a few other vaccines out in development. a couple are designed to target older people who are also vulnerable to this disease and to young people. this is the one specifically for moms to pass on to the babies. >> for those wonder, why there hasn't been a vaccine to date, is it because we haven't seen such spikes in cases for so many years? >> no. this is an interesting story. people are so used to the mrna story. vaccine vaccine within 11 months. typically it can take a long time. in hiv/aids, 40 years, we still don't have a vaccine. it can take a whale.
11:34 am
they tried to make a vaccine for this in the '60s and it failed. they found vaccinated children were more likely to get sick because of certain things, the way the vaccine was working. now they've been able to isolate what is called the f-protein. think about that the way we had about the spike protein for covid. that has been the key breakthrough here. if the data holds up, which sounds promising. that same sort of technology has allowed them to do this now. targeting that protein. >> thank you so much. great to have you. president biden is set to make his closing mid-term pitch in florida. in minutes, he'll give a speech where he is expected to frame the election as a choice between democrats and extreme maga republicans. will that be effective? two new ihop lunch and dinner menu items

this just in. the supreme court rejected senator lindsey graham's attempt to block the subpoena forcing him to testify in the 2020 election investigation in georgia. >> what more are we hearing? >> reporter: well, look, a district attorney in georgia wanted senator graham to appear to give his testimony before the grand jury november 17th. now the supreme court is saying, we are not going to get you out of that. they declined to block this subpoena for the senator's testimony while his appeal plays out. this still gives senator graham some wiggle room when he does appear before the grand jury. lower courts made clear, there
11:40 am
are certain things he couldn't be asked about because it had to do with his activities as a sitting u.s. senator. that would be protected by the speech and debate clause. but the lower court said to the extent you were trying to cajole election officials in georgia, those kinds of things would not be protected. so all of this could boil down to what happens when graham gets before the grand jury. the proceedings are secret. but if questions come up and he says, i can't answer these. these have to do with my legislative activity, there could still be a fight. this order from the supreme court makes it clear that he could go back the court over specific questions if he believes he should not have to answer them under the speech and debate clause. overall, this is still a win for the district attorney of georgia. it does make clear that lindsey graham does have to appear in georgia before the grand jury. >> all right. thank you. this also just in to cnn. david depape, the man accused of violently attacking the husband of nancy pelosi has been moved

>> well, i think what he's trying to drive home, what i know he's driving home, is the contrast. and it's good to be with you, by the way. the contrast between republicans and democrats. not only on substance, about what they are, how they have voted against lowering the cost of insulin, lowering the cost of drug to many people. we can go throughal list of that. i think that while i am very strong that all of us have to stand up wherever we see it, there are noticeable things in the last 72 hours that i find deeply disturbing in the way that people are framing what happened to paul pelosi. what is framing, how it is being framed across this country of what is okay and what is not okay. i don't want to see any person hurt, period. republican, democrat, far left, far right. but i think that some of the
11:43 am
inflammatory language over the last 72 hours is deeply disturbing as well. >> let's talk about that. i was planning to get to it later but here we are. we heard from the arizona republican nominee kari lake. she seemed what seemed like a joke, about not having security in her home, in pelosi's home in san francisco, and the crowd laughed. she was asked about that on fox news and here's what she said. >> we can't talk about paul pelosi. now you can't talk about nancy pelosi and you can't talk about the elections and you can't talk about covid. and i'm talking about all those things. because i still believe we have a little bit of the first amendment left. >> she says it's a first amendment issue. what do you say? >> look, i believe in free speech. and i think we absolutely have to protect it. but i think there's a rate way and a wrong way to talk about things and i don't think we make a joke out of anybody having
11:44 am
been shot. i was in tears and went to mass when steve scalise was shot. and i'll tell you something else. mcdaniels is a constituent of mine. i don't agree with her on things but i don't want anyone taking a shot at her and i've been very strong protecting that. i think it is inappropriate and particularly maybe he thought it was funny last week when you put a gun out there protecting your second amendment. but then do a #which says fire pelosi. i think we are normalizing unacceptable behavior. it has been seeping into our communities and i think we all have to be very intentional right now that we are being divided in communities this country with fear and hatred. we are normalizing things we should not normalize and i don't think the arizona governor was very funny. >> let me ask you about this statement that just came out from the chief of u.s. capitol
11:45 am
police. in which he says, this is just a couple lines. we believe today's political climate calls for more resources to provide additional layers of physical security for members of congress. this plan would include an emphasis on adding redundancies to the measures already in place for congressional leadership. let me take the first sentence first. do you think you could get through a lame duck congress plan that would increase resources for capitol police to secure leadership? >> you know, look, i would like to see that happen. i want to see more resources voted for, for the supreme court justices when it happen. i also want to make a different statement to you which is impossible to keep 435 members of the house and 100 senators safe seven days a week, 24 hours a day. if someone really wants to hurt them. i think our capitol police are trying very hard to keep us safe every day and they do need more
11:46 am
resources. but what we are seeing is not just happening at our level. at the federal level myself school board members and school board members across the country are wearing bullet-proof vests. it was even before january 6th occurred with assault weapons. we are seeing a trend that is happening across the country seeping into our communities. we all need to worry about. and all of us, every one of us, has a responsibility to stand up to hate when we see it. >> let me slip one more in here on mid-term politics. republican congresswoman liz cheney is in michigan today, campaigning with and for democrat elissa slotkin. we've heard from slotkin's opponent who said this is going to backfire. it will bring republicans out to the polls, to defeat slotkin.
11:47 am
what do you think? >> i think that that race is a race that is razor thin. i think liz cheney deeply respects elissa slotkin, as i do. i respect liz cheney. i've known her for decades. i don't agree with her on some of her positions but i have a lot of respect for her. i think she's coming in because of the respect she has for elissa slotkin and her concern about what elissa's opponent has been saying on a number of things, including denying the results of the election two years ago of the presidency. i think we all got to really think about what people are saying, what they're believing. there are people trying to undermine people's confidence and election outcomes. her opponent is one of those people. people need to know the republican and the kraik clearings across the country that are working to protect the ballot box. that every person's vote is counted. when we start undermining people's confidence in election
11:48 am
outcomes, our democracy is being undermined and threatened. in a deliberate and intentional way. >> thank you. several fans spend a strong message to kyrie irving wearing shirts courtside with the words, fight anti-semitism. it comes after he tweeted a link to a documentary deemed santa semitic: your safety system. >> customer: and they recycled my old glass. >> tech: don't wait. schedule today. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ we all have a purpose in life - a “why.” no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank we wilwork with you every step of the way toelp you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why? okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we support immune function. supply fuel for immune cells and sustain tissue health.

owner released statements condemning hate speech. joining me now is the rabbi from the tree of life synagogue. four years since a white supremacist gunman stormed your congregation and killed 11 there. i came to visit you just hours after that, i'm curious to get your response to something that you said over the weekend in an interview where you described the increase of antisemitism in this country as disgraceful. went on to say, shame on you, america, you allowed it grow in this petri dish. >> victims aren't the ones to cure antisemitism it's the place in which it's grown that it must be cured so in the case of america, america has permitted
11:54 am
antisemitism to grow abathed over a very long time. you can't turn to the jewish community and say it's your fault and you are to fix it, we have to turn to the remainder of america, you have to fix this because this is just the beginning. it doesn't end with antisemitism. >> sir rabbi, what do you say a loft yo ambition, we can talk about kyrie sir vick he was called out for that tweet. he doubled down. kanye west, the list goes on and on. flyers you see. aside from wishing that what more can be done to fight back against antisemitism? >> we need more people to be
11:55 am
able to speak out and say that this is unacceptable in america. it can't just be a few indifferent professions or different callings all of america has to be able to say antisemitism is unwelcome in america it always begin with antisemitism but it doesn't end there for antisemitism it moves on to another minority group until there's no one left to call out. so, there needs to be a concerted effort by all good citizens, all good people of all colors, faiths and backgrounds to be able to say this is not america, america is supposed to be land of promise for all people. declaration of independence that all people are endowed with certain inalienable rights.

- my name is mary tallouzi and i'm a gold star mom. daniel was a helicopter electrician. he was very proud to be a helicopter electrician because his uncle was a helicopter mechanic in the marine corps. on september 25th of 2006, dan was severely injured while at camp taji in iraq. it was while he was at walter reed that wounded warrior project walked into my room. they thanked dan for his service and then they assured him that i was not alone and i look back at that and i think, no one could have asked for a better advocate because not everybody got to do what we did. for example, go to a private hospital that was number two in the nation for traumatic brain injury, to transition home and be able to wait for a new home. when you have time to reflect, you realize all along the journey, all along the journey, they were there.
