new episode of my podcast "all their is" is out tomorrow morning. it's going to be the last of the season. all podcasts are out right now. it's a podcast about loss and grief. we've had poignant conversations with stephen colbert and molly shannon and others. tomorrow is probably the most moving episode yet. it's made by all of you who have listened. nearly a thousand of you left voice mails for me telling me about your loss and grief and what's helped you survive. listening to your messages has been incredibly profound, inspiring. that's what i made the podcast out of, this last one for the season. so i want to thank you for all of that. for telling me about your pain and your grief and your love. the episode is called "you're not alone." it comes out tomorrow in apple

podcast wherever you listen to podcasts. you can also find on anderson cooper. i want to head over to jake tapper in cnn tonight. welcome to cnn tonight. i'm jake tapper. we're just one week away from the midterm elections. one week. one key issues for voters is now surging to the front of the pack of issues. and that issue is crime. tonight we're going to try to explain why this issue seems to be resonating with so many voters. and we'll investigate whether the perception of rising crime matches reality. let's begin by examining this through the lens of one particular high profile assault. david depape, the man accused of attacking paul pelosi last week. he entered not guilty during his initial court appearance. according to the assailant's own words, depape's main target was nancy pelosi.

a sharer of far right conspiracy theories. depape allegedly wanted to break her knee caps with a hammer. >> there's also been a lot of speculation regarding mr. depape's vulnerability to -- to, um -- misinformation. >> now this story is one about misinformation. about the risks of deranged conspiracy theories and dehumanizing political rhetoric. but this is also a story about crime. it's a story about a deranged person breaking into the home of a woman he sought to harm and attacking her husband. the notion that violent crime is on the rise has left millions of americans scared. and the gop has tried to harness the power of that fear. top republicans condemned the pelosi attack.

they disputed that rhetoric pointed any role and instead, pointed at the issue of rising crime rates. >> if this weren't paul pelosi, this criminal would probably be on the streets tomorrow. this is what democratic policies are bringing. >> it's a potent issue that democrats have told me are used aga against more than $98 million this election cycle has been focused by republicans in ads attacking democrats on crime. that's about $22 million more than republicans spent on ads attacking democrats on inflation. each ad, of course, making the case in 30-second sound bites that democratic policies on crime make us all less safe. >> take it from us, mandela barnes policies are a threat to your family. >> barnes wants to defund our police. >> violent crime terrorizing new york.

but while police fight to put criminals behind bars, shaun pat patrick melony fought to keep them out. >> every one of those ads can and should be fact checked. but the bigger question for us is this, is life in america actually more dangerous than it used to be? here's what we know about crime at the national level. after years of decline, national rates of violent crime did rise during the covid-19 pandemic. between 2019 and 2020, the trump years, the u.s. homicide rate rose about 30%. that's the highest increase recorded in modern history. then in 2021, during biden, the crime rate rose 3%. the overall violent rate, not counting homicides, all violent

crime, that declined by 1% nationally according to the fbi. so nationally it appears homicides are up. the overall violent crime rate is slightly down. regionally, though, where you live, well that's a mixed bag. take oklahoma where the democratic candidate for governor, joy hofmeister, she's the one running against kevin stitt on the issue of crime. >> let's talk about the facts. the fact is the rates of violent crime are higher in oklahoma -- >> it's not true. >> in your watch than in new york and california. that's a fact. >> we'll have that fact checked by the frontier, superintendent. >> hofmeister was mocked and even questioned by the moderator. but when the oklahoma newspaper fact checked her, she was right. the major cities chiefs associations says in the first six months of this year,

robberies and aggravated assaults increased in cities of more than 500,000 people. but this is where statistics can often be used to make whatever point you want to make. the major city chiefs association says murders are down in aggregate in the 70 urban areas they looked at. but for 30 of those 70, murders are up. and those include atlanta. there are big races in georgia right now. and denver, big races in colorado. milwaukee, governor and senate seats on the line in wisconsin. when crime rates go up, local prosecutors pushing criminal justice policies, they often get blamed. is that fair? it's usually a lot more complicated than that. take boston where the district attorney stopped prosecuting non-violent offenses. what happened there? violent crime decreased by 15% in 2021. and take two cities that increased their police budgets.

indianapolis, indiana, and mobile, alabama. they increased their police budgets and saw an increase in violent crime last year. now look, the economy clearly ranks as the top issue for voters as we head into the midterm elections in one week. but in the latest polling from cbs news and ugov, 65% of you said the issue of crime will be very important to your vote. a separate poll released by gallop last week finds americans are more likely now than at any time over the last five decades to say there's more crime in their community than there was a year ago. 56% of you say there's more crime where you live now than last year. 56%. and that's a trend that's been building over the last few years since 2020, when joe biden was elected. >> crime is a big darn deal. >> it used to be elsewhere. but now it's in our own neck of the woods. >> we want to move, yes, because

of crime. we want out. >> we live in an area where there is quite a bit of crime. so we are concerned about that. >> often when voters or journalists or politicians bring up the issue of crime, you'll hear progressive pundits pointing to data that shows crime is down since the '90s, which is true. or some of the data -- i said it earlier today -- suggesting that this issue is invented by conservatives to scare the public into voting for republicans. not everyone out there agrees. while according to pough, only a third of white democrats, 81% of black voters in general say violent crime is important to their votes. there's another important set of numbers for you to keep in mind. which might explain why republicans are trying to capitalize on crime as a campaign issue right now.

in that cbs poll i just mentioned, 46% of you say republican policies will make you feel safer. you might be able to attribute some of that imbalance, props, to voters distrust of democrats after the whole defund the police campaign. the movement was embraced by some democratic lawmakers, especially progressives. b >> i've totally opposed to defunding the police officers. >> it's not surprising republicans might lean into this divide among democrats. travel with me to georgia right now where republican governor brian kemp is trying to fight off a challenge from democratic candidate stacy abrams. t in a debate two nights ago -- >> ms. abrams that has said she wants to defund the police.

you gotta check the record. because ms. abrams on cnn got asked the question would she defund the police and she said yes. >> for the record, adrams told cnn in 2020 yes if need be. though she found the overall question a false choicement but is it? to the west coast now, to oregon, democrats have controlled the governor's mansion there since 1987. but that could change. partially because voters are unhappy about crime rates in portland. where we've seen riots and crime, frankly, out of control. life long democrat joe corillo says he barely recognizes oregon. you see the homelessness, people dying on the streets from overdoses. it's in shambles right now. this year he says he's voting for the republican candidate for governor. in colorado, a state joe biden

carried by 13 points. republicans say they see an opening to unseat democratic senator michael bennett. and rising maga star ron desantis mentions crime. >> colorado needs new leadership. joe's focused on building the wall and cracking down on crime. >> we'll talk to o'day in just a moment. when you watch political tv ads on crime, you might not even hear any real solutions being proposed. ones that will make a difference. but you also mind be comforted to hear someone out there even acknowledging that it's a problem, that it's a fear. all politics are local, goes the cliché. and when it comes to crime, that is especially true. local as in here. your personal experiences might not be reflected in data if you don't feel safe. if you or someone you care about

has been accosted or assaulted, that's your experience. fear is primal. it's a crucial emotion. it mobilizes us to respond to life or death situations. avoiding danger at all cost. you can hear the data. violent crime might be down in your area. but if you feel there's a threat, that's real to you. and emotions motivate voters. joining me next the senate candidate a moment ago, joe o'da is one of the candidates running. we'll ask him right after this.

who is not in trump's good graces win a senate seat? that is a big question in the purple state of colorado where business man joe o'dea is looking at unseating michael bennet. >> i don't think donald trump should run againment i'm going to actively campaign against donald trump. >> adding more salt to trump's wound, florida governor ron desantis giving o'dea his backing. issue an all caps response to his truth social platform calling it a big mistake. joe o'dea joins me. he's called you stupid. he's called i a rino, meaning republican in name only.

you need trump supporters to turn out to vote for you through election day next week? >> jake, i said what i said. i'm not worried about it. i'm worried about the next seven days. we've got one heck of a race we're running here. this race is going to be a referendum on joe biden and what he's done to our economy, crime, the border. the price of fuel. the price of groceries. that's what people are talking about here. michael bennet he votes with him 98% of the time. heck, i love my wife dearly but i don't agree with her 98% of the time. >> take a listen. >> you voted for donald trump twice after the children were separated from their parents at the border. after president trump said both sides, there were good people on both sides of charlottesville. >> in that same bit you also said you would vote for trump again if he were the nominee.

did it bother you when trump said there were good on both sides. did that bother you? >> i believe obama started that. to be quite frank with you. >> not really. >> if you look back where our economy was here 22 months ago, and some of the policies were in place, fuel was affordable. we had great economy. i know my guys, i'm a contractor working for 40 years. and my guys' wages were surging. they were making more than they'd ever make. we had china kind of pushed away. i liked what he was doing there. and i gotta tell you, joe biden has undone every one of those policies. we have a border that's leaking like a sieve right now. we've got fentanyl coming up 45 right now. i've been backed by the denver police union and they're telling me this border is leaking.

you look at the policies one after the other. and i gotta tell you we're not in good shape right now and people are ready for change. that's why i got in this race. i was worried about where our united states was headed. and i'm going to win on next tuesday. i'm fired up. >> so let's talk about immigration. you've been hammering democrats and senator bennet for not doing enough. it is a border crisis. trump didn't solve it either. it seems like to observers a bipartisan reform bill. and that would include border security. and a way to deal with thousands of immigrants already here. every time it's been attempted house republicans have sunk the bill. every time. even if it was a republican president like president bush, gets through the senate. house republicans sink it. don't republicans share some of the blame here? >> all i know is i'm going to

run that bill. we're going to make sure we secure the border. we're going to add border patrol. and make sure the daca kids are situated. i'm going to make sure i get 60 signatures on that bill. then i'm going to go over to the house and work really hard with house representatives to make sure we get something done. this is a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. i was down in brooks, and those guys are exhausted. they found a hundred bodies that have passed away in the last year. they found that two years in a row. that is something we can't ignore. we've got to fix this border. >> i have to ask you something you said on meet the press. >> look, i think ron desantis and governor abbott were right to bring some visibility to this issue.

>> look, i don't take any issue with wanting to bring visibility to the issue of the border. sure. do you think it was right for them to ship off migrants on false pretenses to other parts of the country? that part of it, was that the right thing do? >> well i know that president biden is shipping them all over the country right now in airplanes. nobody said a word. every state is a border state right now. we've got a humanitarian crisis down there of epic proportion. and i believe governor abbott, governor desantis, they're trying to bring some attention to this. because the failed policies of joe biden -- and michael bennet is right with him. 98% of the time he has failed because he's with his president instead of stepping out and getting something done. and we need change. and that's why i got in this race. >> i want to turn to another issue of particular importance in colorado, gun violence. it's been 12 years since the

aurora massacre. 23 since columbine. i could go on and on with acts of gun violence in your state. it's federal law that you have to be 21 to purchase a hand gun. you do not support raising the age limit for purchasing a semi-automatic weapon. the kind used in uvalde and other massacres. w why. >> look, this is about crime. we don't need anymore gun laws. what we need is more cops. and this is about michael bennet and joe biden having the wrong priorities. here they pass this inflation reduction act. 87,000 new bureaucrats for the irs. instead of focusing that money on getting our border under control. focusing that money on putting more cops on the ground here. colorado had one heck of a weekend. i gotta tell you, we had 12

shootings this weekend. and we lost some coloradans. >> but why should a 19-year-old be able to buy a semi automatic weapon when he can't even buy a beer. that's my question. >> he can sign up to go into the military. i just don't believe we need anymore gun laws. what we need is more cops. >> i'm sure you know of all the training that enlistees undergo when it comes to how to use a firearm. joe, thank you so much. i really appreciate it. enjoy your last week on the campaign trail. >> thanks for having me on. i really appreciate it. political attack ads are in full force with a week to go. they're nasty and can switch the truth. i think we found the most dishonest spot to ever hit the airways. maybe. that's next.

we want to show you perhaps the most dishonest tv campaign ad we've ever seen. >> some politicians think they should control your child's education. >> we're trying to indoctrinate our students in communism. >> jay chen is running for congress to represent southern californias. depicting chan saying "we're trying to indoctrinate our children into communism." but here's what chan actually said. >> i'm going to be the recipient of attacks. they're going to claim because our school district is teaching chinese that we're trying to indoctrinate our school children. literally that will be one of the points of attack. >> political ads have never been

known for subtly or nuance. comments are dishonestly edited. the closer we get to election day as races tighten, the more we see things go negative. take for example this ad against herschel walker. >> the first time he held the gun to my head, he held the gun to my temple. >> now herschel walker's ex-wife did say that. but what you probably don't know is that she said it while sitting for an interview in support of herschel walker. they sat together to discuss his struggle with mental illness. he was right next to her. kind of an important part of the story. no? news agencies such as cnn have teams of fact checkers calling out the lies and i could spend the rest of this hour fact checking the ads running across the country in various races, democrats and republicans. campaign know they win the

repetition game. you're more likely to see a dishonest ad playing in rotation than you are to read or listen to a fact check such as this one. we have all sorts of laws about what you can and can't say in a tv commercial. we have rules on what foods can be called healthy. even what made in america has to mean. generally speaking, you can't just lie in a commercial. the ftc, federal trade commission, makes sure the slap chop can back up what it says in commercials. but it doesn't apply to politics. the fcc, federal communications commission, has no rules and there's nothing you can do about it by law. states cannot alter or reject any ad from the candidate. in 1972, atlanta stations were not allowed to reject this

hate-filled tv ad from a white supremacist running for senate. >> i am j.b. senator, i'm the only candidate who is for the white people. >> he went on to use the n-word several times. local tv stations had to air that ad from the candidate. and that same rule applies today. bipartisan federal legislation to crack down on demonstrable falsehoods, that's gone nowhere. because look, who gets to decide what's a lie. given how fast and loose so many politicians are. so for the next week, and the foreseeable future, you can have more faith in a chia pet commercial than what a political campaign says in its ads. that's ads. when it comes to robo calls, as we head into the stretch of the midterm election, wait until you hear what some state republican parties are telling some places such as michigan.

michigan secretary of state is here. she's a democrat trying to hold on to her seat. stay with us. my dad was a hard worker. he used to do side jobs installing windows, charging something like a hundred bucks a window hwhen other guysde jobwere charging fourws, to five-hundred bucks. he just didn't wanna do that. he was proud of the price he was charging. ♪ my dad instilled in me, always put the people before the money. be proud of offering a good product at a fair price. i think he'd be extremely proud of me, yeah. ♪

u won't take a time-out. one dose of ubrelvy quickly stops migraine in its tracks within 2 hours. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. most common side effects were nausea and tiredness. ask about ubrelvy, the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine.

in arizona, republican voters are getting robo calls such as this one. >> vote republican from top to bottom in every race as soon as your ballot arrives, or tdrop i off or turn it in. >> you can turn your ballot in person or return through the postal service or deliver it through the drop box. >> the republican parties in both states michigan and arizona paying for those calls. and that's great encouraging voters to participate. it's a wonderful thing. the problem is the arizona chair of the republican party constantly tweets nonsense such as "all non-mail voting is -- in michigan, the party's nominee for governor says on her web page she wants to ban drop

boxes. the republican who wants to oversee michigan's next election as secretary of state kristina karamo, we asked her to come on tonight. she declined. jocelyn benson, welcome secretary of state benson. thanks for being with us. what's your assessment? what's your take on the fact of these public republicans, public officials or party chairs saying -- bad mouthing early voting, vote by mail, et cetera. while secretly the parties are telling their voters to participate in it. >> well it underscores -- first, thanks for having me and shedding a light in this challenging moment that we're in. these lies, these conspiracy theories, it's a political strategy. and it's one particularly designed to cause people to lose faith in our elections.

while at the same time, making sure misinformation continues to flourish. and it's really egregious and it's reaching egregious heights. my opponent recently filed a lawsuit against detroit voters trying to get absentee votes thrown out. even though voters have the right to vote absentee in every competition. also we have to remember these are people who know better that are campaigning on lies as a political strategy to gain power so they can potentially stand in the way of the people in the future. >> does your opponent know better? >> i think the truth has been clear for years. ed mcbroom made sure people have access to the facts. our elections are run in a transparent and secure manner. anyone who wants to know the truth about the elections are welcome to find them in many ways. at the same time we see politicians, and the top three

republican candidates for governor, attorney general, and secretary of state in michigan, are all peddling election lies and in many ways have built their career in doing so. ensure that the people's will doesn't stand in the way of their own partisan agenda. >> it doesn't just fuel skepticism in elections. you've seen this incite enanger outside your own home. how concerned are you about this era about people who hear these conspiracy theories, these lies and feel compelled to take it to the extreme. the governor of michigan was threatened with kidnapping. and people are doing jail time for it. >> it's exactly right. people have to understand these words, these hateful threats, this violent rhetoric, it has consequences. it's not just spreading lies. it's not just spreading false conspiracy theories. it's also putting people's lives

at risk and our families lives at risk as seen in the tragedy of paul pelosi. i have seen upticks in the last few days. we anticipate they'll continue. it's tragic because it's all just rooted in lies. and lies politicians are spreading to gain political power. and they need to realize these lies have consequences and they are consequences that are real. they're harmful. and god willing, never become deadly. sometimes we're at the risk of that terrible thing coming to fruition. >> your republican opponent is one of 10 election liars running for secretary of state around the country. those are people in charge of elections in those states. what would it mean if they win, if any of them win their races and become the secretaries of state? >> i think three things. one, we'll certainly see them use these fplatforms of electio

to further conspiracy theories and lies. they'll also change the rules to make it more confusing for voters to participate in our elections as well as make it more difficult for us to run fair and secure elections. and then they will stand in the way potentially as their actions in the past have shown of the certification of fair election results simply because they disd disagree with them. these three things combined mean a dismantling in our country. >> almost twice as many absentee ballots have been requested in michigan compared to the last midterm election in 2018. so as a practical matter, i mean, it seems like michigan voters do have faith in voting by mail. >> yeah, and that's really the crux of the moment we're in. we're seeing enormous enthusiasm here in michigan and other states. despite the mountains of conspiracy theories and

falsehoods that have flowed to discourage people to vote by mail or absentee. and at the same time, all this very good stuff, a very secure election process is set up and ready to go. voters are happy to participate. is happening -- so i'm both hopeful and optimistic about the week ahead and our elections this fall. but also very soberly minded of the challenges we face as we seek to ensure that every voice is heard and every voice is counted. >> we've heard -- just to change subjects -- we've heard from democratic voters who like president biden just fine but don't want him to run for reelection because he's too old. he was in florida and got confused. he -- in trying to correct himself, he mistaked where his son bo died.

take a listen. >> inflation is a worldwide problem right now. because of a war in iraq. excuse me. the war in ukraine. i think of iraq because that's where my son died. >> it's not where his son died. although he does personally blame his son having burn pit exposure for his son dying. -- cognitive slips out on the campaign trail. >> -- truly the future of our democracy and our fundamental rights and freedoms are on the ballot. not just in michigan but in pennsylvania, wisconsin, arizona, and nevada. that's what we should be focused on and talking about. that's what i've been seeing voters want to hear. they're seeing that concern. i hope that every voter in the country knows that the choices they make will protect -- the

future of our democracy in our country. >> secretary of state benson, thank you so much. have fun out there in the last of the campaign. on the heels of the ye aka kanye west disaster, basketball star kyrie irving still isn't -- not letting kyrie irving go. ♪ [christmas music] ♪

anti-semitic remarks whatsoever. >> no tolerance except for the very tolerance he was just showing. the point guard who's name is synonymous with controversy is underfire this time for refusing to apologize. containing all sorts of anti-semitic bigotry. attributed to a former senate aide. a quote attributed to him concocted by white supremacists in 1978 was in that film. kyrie irving is unrepentant. he's accusing critics of de-humanizing. to makeuncharacteristically perl remarks on his show yesterday. >>

rich eisen joins me now. rich, i was very proud of you when you did that. and i thought it was really powerful. when you heard kyrie defend his post that he did, defensively, saying you're dehumanizing me, what was your reaction? >> well, i thought of my kids, jake. i've got a 14 and 11 and a nine year old. and i was their age, i had grandparents who told me about their direct relatives being killed by the not seize just for being jewish. and the french conspiracies

about the holocaust not being real were exactly that. on the fringe. and, now this day and age my 14, 11, and nine live in a world where every single day generations who lived through the holocaust or knew somebody who lived through the holocaust, those generations die off. and we get further and further away. and the fringe conspiracies, the misinformation, can be seen on a phone. >> yeah. >> media, back when i was 14, 11, and nine did not put it out there. now, social media is an easy way to get it out there. and the normalization of it for kyrie irving to put it on his twitter account in the same way that he maybe did years ago to promote uncle drew, which by the way, is a movie i enjoyed from him, and other things that he does charitably is normalizing it. and that makes it dangerous and particularly frightening. >> those conspiracy theories are part of what led to the holocaust. and it's what leads to violence, conspiracy theories about all

sorts of groups, blacks, jews, gays, et cetera. so he maintains that his post are not a promotion. i get the sense from him that he maybe thinks he's smarter than everybody, like he can trick us, he can outsmart us by saying it's not a promotion. he has 4.6 million twitter followers. why is he doing this? >> i do not know. other than the fact at this point you have to think he truly does believe what this documentary is saying. and until we hear otherwise, we just have to assume that. and, look, he -- i, as i said on my show, i don't think he needs to be told and explained how promotion works. when you put something on your twitter feed, you're telling people check this out, thus, you are supporting it. look, i just want in this day and age, where things are so easily placed in the minds i of people who can be influenced,

that's what the whole concept of being called an influencer 's. >> i want to use whatever influence i have to push back and say this normalization is not right. because if you don't speak out and you let the normalization sink in, then suddenly everybody else can think you believe whatever is happening is happening to. i am seeing again what kanye said, i thought adidas acted way to blindly. they did not act fast enough. but they eventually did. and in the, meantime now we saw beamed onto the stadium where the world's largest cocktail party, as it's called, between georgia and florida, where kanye was right about the jews was beamed on the side of a stadium. and then on the side of building in jacksonville. we are seeing with folks who feel easily compelled to place it on these -- on top of overpasses. i saw on twitter, somebody walked into a bar in soho

dressed as a not see. these are all people of generations who think it is cool, or the normalization of it makes them feel more comfortable. or they really just don't understand what the did happen a few decades ago, jake. >> what do you think the nets should do? because their mealymouthed responses have been really pathetic. >> i think that kyrie irving should be held to account. i do believe he should be held to account and have to explain himself, other than just parking back and forth with a reporter, and say he did not promote this. i would like to hear exactly what he's talking about. and there have been some people like charles barkley, a colleague of ours, certainly in your end of the business. >> charles, yes. >> charles said tonight that kyrie should be suspended, because others have been suspended for hate speech and other ways. i would love to see that as well. because antisemitism is just as

hateful as anything else there is in the world with hate speech. and i would love to hear more people in my end of the business and media speak out about it. >> well, that's why we brought you want today. to speak out about it. my friend rich eisen, host of rich the eisen, love your wife and beautiful children. we'll be right back. so when you finally taste it, it just confirms... this. is. fantastic. and only at panera. $1 delivery fee on our app. power e*trade's award-winning trading app makes trading easier. with its customizable options chain, easy-to-use tools, and paper trading to help sharpen your skills, yocan stay on top of the market from wherever you are. power e*trade's easy-to-use tools make complex trading less complicated. custom scans help you find new trading opportunities. while an earnings tool helps you plan your trades and stay on top of the market. among my patients, i often see them have
