welcome to 10:00 a.m. eastern hour, my friends. i'm erica hill. voters will decide who will control congress. president biden announced he'll give a major speech tonight. a lot of big names hitting the campaign trail. former president obama is in arizona today. former president trump stumping for republicans in iowa and both expect to be -- it's liz cheney making waves in michigan with her endorsement of a democratic candidate, elizabeth slot kin. >> if we want to ensure the

survival of our republic, we need to walk away from politics as usual. we are americans above all else. >> we're told the president's speech will be about protecting democracy. mj lee is joining us with details, all of this coming on heels of what prosecutors have said was a politically motivated attack of speaker pelosi's home and her husband paul was the one who was ultimately attacked. what do we know? >> president biden's schedule has been officially updated to reflect the speech he is going to be giving in washington, d.c. tonight on the theme of pro protecting department sit.

a big theme he hopes to address of the recent threats of political motivated violence. we know that this is the kind of speech they have been contemplating on the president gaining -- but it's been shaped by what they have seen as a surge? antidemocratic language, including some republican elected officials, republican candidates, and also, again, these threats of violence. of course, president biden himself and his top divorce were deeply alarmed by what happened over the last week with this threat and violence guess paul pelosi, house speaker nancy pelosi's husband, which authorities have now said was political motivated. all of this has gone into the thinking behind why the president is going to give this speech tonight. i should, of course, note that the idea of the president talking about the theme of protecting democracy, that is not new for this president. this goes all the way back to

his 2020 campaign, protecting the soul of america, of course, was a central theme, but it goes to show six days out fret election day, the stakes are really high. >> mj lee, thank you. candidates and surrogates are sharpening their messages. several notable names will be hitting the campaign trail, or they're already there. jessica dean joins us this morning from philadelphia. boy, things are busy in pennsylvania these days. >> reporter: yeah, erica, it's a little busy here. they're getting a lot of high-profile visitors. the airwaves are flooded. pat toomey is retiring. we are start to go hear the closing messages from the candidates, and this polling

shows that republicans have the wind at their backs, if you are talk to republicans here and back in washington, they feel bullish headed into the last stretch. democrats of course hoping their closing message is what will resonate with voters as well. the closing ad we got from john fetterman, in which he really shaped this as a distinct choice between himself and mehmet oz. watch this. >> i only got into politics to make my town a safer place. oz only moved here to run for office, to use us. i've spend my career fighting for people. oz has spent his life taking advantage of people, making himself rich. >> reporter: now we know fetterman will be in the so-called collar counties. he'll be there the next couple days. i traveled out to an oz rally,

not too far from here, in bucks county, last night. what was interesting and del is that the crowd was really a full republican base. if you looked around, people in trump hats and certainly the republican base showing out for them. he really pitched to find the independent voting friends, and give them this message. >> so your job is to highlight the economy, crime and the border, right? three things. don't talk about the other stuff. those are the kitchen table issues that everyone is worry about. talk about what concerns voters, and they'll come over to us. >> reporter: again, really telling you where the oz campaign believes it is, where they are trying to expand, and

erica, as we noted at the beginning, these high-profile surrogates coming in at the last minute. former president trump is coming this weekend. former president obama and president biden coming to philadelphia, and president obama going over to pittsburgh. so a lot more movement. republicans are in a pretty strong position, with the economy on the forefront of everyone's minds. what could the numbers immediate in the coming days? dan merica has more for us. >> republicans are on the front foot, both because they have a more motivated base than democrats, and because of this focus on the economy and more trust that the republicans will handle economic matters better

than democrats. 51% of likely voters said the economy was the top issue. voters are confident with the republicans handles those issues over democrats. why this matters? as you hint ed at in the oz ad there, you're seeing in this closing message last few days of the campaign, that's why reps are focused on this issue. let's look at the generic ballot for congress, when you ask a voters if you choose today, who would you choose? 47% said a democratic candidate, 51% said a republican candidate. that's narrowly outside the margin of error, but a lot of

these races will be decided by the slim margins, the fact that the republicans have the four-point lead in this generic ballot says a lot about what could happen on tuesday night, especially in house races. >> there's also enthusiasm on their side, on the side of the republicans as well. >> we've seen this throughout the year, frankly, where republicans have been more enthusiastic about coming out than democrats, a big reason is think they they're going to win, but we saw that in the polls as well. 35% of voters said they were extremely enthusiastic. 24% said very enthusiastic. the reason this matters, frankly is that right now all these campaigns are focused on getting out the vote. it's easier to do that if the voters are motivated, if they're excited to vote. as you're putting money in, the

republican have the edge there as well. >> dan, we appreciate it. thank you. joining me now to discuss the strategies in this closing w week. good to see you this morning. just 51% say the economy and inflation are the top issue. the president is making a speech tonight. he says this is because of the surge of the antidemocratic rhetoric, and language. he made a speech about the nation 'democracy and threats to democracy just a couple months ago in primetime, and the major broadcast networks didn't carry it. is there a chance that could happen tonight, especially if it's so close to the election? >> i think there's a real risk it will be completely ignored, but he's probably not wrong to tap into this real fear and anxiety that this election could somehow by violent, it could end up being like 2020, maybe not to

the scale where we see insurrectionists at the capitol, but we might see some violence at the polls against election workers. you may see intimidation. the only thing with these speeches and what we saw back in september was that some people found this speech that had some darker imagery, some military personnel around him, and he called out republicans directly, it was seen as alienating republicans, putting them off and right now some of the independent-leaning voters who may be republican leaning, they might be put off by a speech like this. they may not want to be preached to by the president, so i think there's a real risk to having a speech like this six days before the election rather than sticking with the status quo and talking about what's top of mind right now.

>> we've been talking about this for months. that's been a challenge for democrats. in a closing message, we've seen a shift over the last couple weeks, now we're going to talk about the economy, not just compare globally, that's not working. now we're going to talk about this issue. it's fascinating when you see that clip of mehmet oz says you don't talk about anything when you try to talk people over t. you talk about the economy and kitchen table concerns. how much concerns among the democrats is that their messaging has gotten them to this point? >> i think democrats have not -- there is a euphoria around the dobbs, and they were able to pass this legislation, like the inflation reduction act and a few other big wins, felt like the wind was at their become, but i think sober analysts knew at the end of the day that independent voters who will

determine the midterm elections like they always do, and they probably should have put them front and center back in the summer, and now they're playing catch-up. i still think it will be close. >> i don't think we're sleeping a lot next week, my friend. >> we may end up with a runoff in georgia. we may not even know who controls the senate until december. >> that's such an important point. quickly, before i let you go, katie hobbes was on this morning, and there's been questions about why she's refusing to debate kari lake, and she's worried about the misinformation. >> you're not confronting her on it. it seems like an easy fix if you stood up on a debate stage an confronted her about these issues. >> we're six days out from the

election and our campaign strategy is our strategy. we're moving forward. i'm continuing to make my case to the voters of arizona, bloo we debate in this race is not going to decide this election. i just -- we made a decision, didn't want to be a part of her spectacle. >> there is plenty of spectacle on the lakeside, plenty of misinformation being spewed as well, but it is surprising that this far along, this is still the campaign strategy that no one in the party or even in her campaign has -- i wonder if they have second-guessed that. >> i they they should by. they know it is kari lake show is more compelling -- not talking about issues or what she stands for, but she is a better presenter, actor, politician on the stage. and that was a decision that

they made to not play on her playing field. i don't know if it was the right one. voters want to see if you can step up and win an argument. that's part of the job when you get to that role. you know, when you are the governor of a state like arizona, you do need to take on rivals, you do need to be able to take on big business, and take on adversaries, so i think it shows her not having the fortitude. but then again, you're seeing campaigns in pennsylvania, where for a very long time you are john fetter man basically running a campaign just on memes and on social media, not actually taking on his opponent head-on. it's almost a very strange digital campaign that that, you know d. nothing we've ever seen

before and i think people know that indkatie -- >> it's a whole new world. in the next six days, buckle up. tara, always good to talk with you. thank you. >> thank you. still to come, nancy pelosi's family will get to see body camera footage on the attack. more on what the suspects told police he planned top. capitol police say more security measures are needed to protect lawmakers. the reality, the staff and the money is just not there. parents and loved ones of those killed in a mass a carry some factland, florida, finally have their moment in court to talk about their pain and their

to each their home. more disturbing details about the violent attack on paul pelosi. court documents say the suspect was so a suicide mission and had a list of politicians he planned to target. >> what is very clear to me from

viewing that body camera, he tried to kill mr. pelosi. >> we are live in san francisco with the latest. what else did we learn from the court documents, veronica? >> reporter: that motion to detail argues why david depape should not be released. he expressed what his intentions were, quoted as saying i didn't want to hurt him, but, you know, this was a suicide mission. i'm not going to stand here and do nothing, even if it cost me my life. he also told officers that his intention wasn't to hurt paul pelosi, but if pelosi escalated things, he would go through him if he had to. the district attorney said this was absolutely a political motivated attack. >> there were other people

officials that were apparently targets of his, and he showed up at the speaker's house first. just like on january 6th, weaver seen this inciteful commentary that goes on, what has become of, i think, accepting behavior of people encouraging violence, encouraging people to take these extreme points is laying a pathway to this type of conduct. >> reporter: in court yesterday, depape entered all not guilty pleas. the pelosi family was not in attendance, but through the prosecutor, the prosecutor told the judge they are asking for privacy during this very traumatic time. we're also learning from sources that the u.s. capitol police learned about this about ten minutes after the incidents, an officer saw lights and sirens here on a live feed at the u.s. capitol police command center.

erica? temples veronica miracle, thank you so much. good to see you this morning, chief those of us who aren't intricately involved in security of lawmakers, we have learned a lot 1/2 last several days. there is a field office we know for the capitol police, we learned from our own reporters, but they're watching things sort of back home. there had been this feed according to "the washington post," that they had been watching of speaker pelosi's home. when she left san francisco, maybe they're not watching it 24/7, would that make sense to you, that the focus would be where she is? >> it is speaker is the primary person the capitol police are responsible for. i think given the threat level now, we have to talk about the family, and it is not strange to

say we concentrate on where she's at and what she's doing. watching cameras under any situation, trying to look at the camera is very efficient. so there is technology. i know the capitol police will be relooking at the technology about whether it can be, other than just watching it from afar, motion detectors, alarms, all sorts of ways to do that. i know chief major, have been been contacted yesterday is looking into a lot of different things. >> you're referencing the courage chief, chief major, saying they're on track to meet their goal of hiring 280 additional officers by the end of the year but he's concerned about the current local climate. based on everything we know and your conversation with the chief, what is your level of concern this morning? >> i think we a should be concerned. they're not going to get enough

officers to try to get security to every member much congress. here's what can be done and here's what the capitol police are doing. they're reaching out to every police department where a member lives. the staff members of all those 430 members of the house, the 100 senators, all live someplace where there's a local police department, a local sheriff. all those local police department should be given special attention to every member's home. in cities when anybody calls up and is concerned, so the beat officer would go by that place several times a day just as parts of the security, but also the capitol police will be looking at getting more funding to put more technology in, but that's not going to happen by the time this election goes. so we're going to be in troubled times now, we'll see how the election goes, and if all the hate continues, we'll have to speed up increasing the technology, local law

enforcement is going to have to help. >> chief, always appreciate your insight. thank you. families of the parkland shooting victims, survivors sharing their pain in court as the judge prepares to sentence the man who took 17 lives. we're going to speak with two of the parents. their son was murdered there. i earn 5% on our cabin. hello cashback! hello, kevin hart! earn big time with chasese freem unlimited with no annual fee. how do you c cashback? chase. make morore of what's yours. ♪hit it!♪ ♪it takes two to make a thing go right♪ ♪it takes two to make it outta sight♪ ♪it takes two to make a thing go right♪ ♪it takes two to make it outta sig♪ ♪one, two, get loe now!♪ ♪it takes two to make a- it takes two to make a-♪ ♪it takes two to make a- it takes two to make a-♪ ♪it takes two to make a- it takes two to make a-♪ get double rewards points this fall.

in just a few hours, more families of the parkland school shooting victims will be back in court to share their feelings. some of the parents did address the cord yesterday, among them patricia oliver, whose son joaquin was killed in the massacre. she spend much of the time admonishing the legal team for arguing to spare the shooter the death penalty. >> i have emptyiness. i have sadness and i have grief. i am broken. i am broken. all of us now, we are broken. me, our family and friends, are

shattered forever. for pleading mercy from these defenders is on you, on you, on you. >> and patricia and manuel oliver join mess now. it was an incredibly powerful ten minutes, and you spent a lot of that time directl addressing the defense team. did they react at all to your words. >> they reacted through their boss. well, to me directly, no, they were complaining after i left the court. they were trying to minimize the comments from the families. they just want us to say whatever we feel about the defendant. >> you were really restricted in terms of what could be said, the families of the victims,

severely restricted in what could be set in court. this was an opportunity for you to say whatever you wanted. do you feel that you were able to say everything you wanted to? >> yes, i did. i said what was enside of me. it was three loan months that we were just listening with patience. they were very disrespectful, you know t. not empathetic with all of us, in the comments, in the way they were communicating with the killer and it was very nauseous. >> so i took my time to direct my feelings and leave it there. that was my only chance. we were absolutely restricted to even show any emotions there. anything that we can say or show

could cause a mistrial. >> that's something that i heard from a number of parents, how difficult that was, and to sit in court, to be there, to not be able to express how you feel, to fully talk about your son joaquin and what his murder has done to you and your family. manuel, you weren't there. how come? >> exactly because of what you just said. i don't see myself sitting down listening to all they details about how things happened that day, because my reactions would be different. i know myself. it would be what i don't need, but i have a great representation. i was thinking about going today, even going yesterday, and after that -- no need.

she made it so clear, i'm not only proud of you for what you did, but thank you for saving that time for me. >> was it difficult? >> difficult to listen to every detail. so it was relief. that was one of my concerns. able to see them. i need to see their.

>> it was why thoughts to them. that's why we are paying a lot of attention to him. i hope that today and on, we forget about him. he doesn't even exist. that's why i treated him in that way. >> being in that room, being with the other families, being with the survivors, did it feel different yesterday than it did during those three months? >> i felt that when i finished my speech, my thoughts, i spent relief from the families that were behind there. think needed what i said was inside every single heart and

head from every single parent and families that were there. so i was their voice. when i turned back, i went to the bench, they were just looking at me and saying -- they were about to applaud me. you know, it's a feel you have inside, you have to carry it, carry it every day. you have no idea the comments, the discussions that were there that ump able to look at each other and say, really, they are saying these kinds of thoughts. so there were so many situations, you have to take it out. the only one that would be suffering and damaging your body and your state of mind is you. so you are already damaged. you are already saying because i loved joaquin and i don't have to carry an extra burden.

that was my intention of yesterday. >> i know we're out of time, at the very end, you reminded everyone who your son was, who he will always be, kind, humble, and carry on that legacy with your work, and thank you. thank you for being here. thank you for continuing to speak with us and everything you're doing. >> thank you. >> thank you. stay with us. hi! need new glasses? get more from your benefits at visionworks! how can you see me squinting? i can't! i'm just tellg everyone! hey! use your vision benefits befo they expire. visionworks. see thdifference. ♪follow the yellow brick road♪

6th committee interviewed the secret service spokesman. it's important to note he was not at the capitol at the time of the attack, but has been handling the response of the secret service, including statements that rebut kathy hutchenson's testimony. here's a reminder from cassidy hutchenson in june. >> the president reached up to grab at the steering wheel, mr. engle grabbed his harm and said, sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. we're going back to the west wing. we're not going to the capitol. they used his free hand to lunge toward bobby ingle, and when he told the story, he motioned to

his clavicle. >> so the fact that the committee is interviewing the current spokesperson, and according to "the washington post," there was some specific questioning about some of the statements that came out in regard to cassidy hutchinson's testimony, what should we read into that? >> i think it's great they're continuing to pursue the witnesses. as time runs out on the committee, they're still trying to get to the truth. he came out right after her testimony to cast doubt, so it's fair to ask him where did you learn about those comments? and obviously they it speak to those witnesses. >> according to liz cheney, there are negotiations happening between the committee and the former president's legal team in regard to the subpoena, which they had accepted, potential testimony whether understand oath, over several days, how

much good faith do you think is involved in those negotiations? >> i'm a skeptic when it comes to the president ever testifying. they have to negotiate, that is part of the deal. the former president doesn't want to be seen before the mid temperatures as flouting the subpoena, but i don't think either side ever expects it to happen. even you get past the time -- he has legitimate fifth amendment problems here. he's broadband actively investigated by the doj on criminal matters. even if they got this to happen, he's just going to assert the fifth amendment. >> if you were representing him, is that what you would recommend? >> any lawyer in america would represent that. think what you want of the former president, he's not foolish when it comes to self-preservation. he would take the fifth without question. >> we learned there's been a motion filed when it comes to the fraud case, and there's a lot to keep track of here, so bear with me.

this is new york state -- new york attorney general, rather, there is now a motion that this needs to be paused, because the trumps were involved would like this moved to a different court? >> what i've seen is they want to move it to the commercial part, that statutorily it could be there. this is the second time this request has been made. i suggest it's retremendousing old ground, and will likely be denied, but we'll have to see. >> it could be an effort to run out the clock or maybe just delay things? the committee, once it's disbanded, a new congress, that's a different situation. >> i think it's more about the judges. they don't like the judge they have now. that judge has ruled mostly in favor of the attorney general against the trump organization

and the individual defendants. i think it's more about trying to roll the dice to get a judge that may view them more favorably. >> jen rodgers, always appreciated. thank you. the impact of roe v. wade across the country, and how far women need to travel now to find the abortion services, and how that could ultimately affect their care. app, and get one free. fooe free monsters, freree bosses, any footlong for free! this guy loves a great offer. so let's see some huststle! hello! hello is friendly... hello is open... it's welcoming. erything we want to be when helng people find a medicare plan. so, if you're lookg for yours, say hello to hellomedicare, a one-stop shop for medicare plans, including a range of “all-in-one” medicare advantage plans... from the names you know.

in the months since the supreme court overturned roe versus wade, in many instances, patients are finding just how much longer it can take to travel to an active -- these are the findings from a report from the jirchl of the american medical association about what has changed. what did they find? >> that's right, erica. this report puts in perspective the aftermath and realtime impact of the dobbs decision. in this report they looked specifically at the time on average that it takes for women to access abortion facilities, and how the time changed from before the dobbs decision to after the dobbs decision. here's what they found. average travel time to get an abortion more than tripled following dobbs. you see here, before dobbs it

was about 128 minutes on average. now it's more than an hour and a half at 100 minutes. another interesting finding in this report, researchers also looked at how many women lived more than an hour amp from an abortion facility. here's what that finding was. before dobbs, 14.6 of women of reproductive age lived movre thn an hour away. after dobbs decision, it jumped to 33.3%. we're talking about a third of women now live more than an hour away from having that access to abortion healthcare services, erica. >> that's really something. there's also been attention paid to one way providers have found a way to get around the reversal, prescribing abortion medication to people not yet pregnant. now the fda is saying this is not the thing to do. what specifically is the agency concerned about. >> the fda's concern here, erica

is medication abortion, add marched in the form of pills is really supposed to be under a provider's supervision and care. by providers to give them before they're pregnant, since as we saw in the previous report that access to services has been impacted right now, but that mean that medication might be used without a provider's supervision. that's where the concern is here. the fda was that medication was approved to be used to end pregnancy at ten weeks or less, and your provider is supposed to help with you that timing, and it's supposed to oversee everything and provide care during that process. that's the fda's response to this. i think the takeaway, erica, as you mentioned, this is another impact that we're seeing right now following the reversal of roe v. wade.
