i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't. the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you. hello. i'm victor blackwell.

>> and i'm bianna golodryga. the fight for every vote under way with just five days until election day. so far more than 30 million voters have already cast their ballots in 46 states with the most seen in texas and florida. that's a pace that looks like if may exceed the historic turnout of 2018. >> both president biden and former president trump are making those closing arguments for their parties from the campaign trail. trump is planning four rallies in five days starting in iowa today to slam democrats over inflation and crime. president biden head west. soon lands in new mexico. may echo his consistent call to voters to eject election deniers and preserve democracy. >> our phil mattingly is covering president biden and jeb bellamy in iowa. why is president biden in new mexico? >> reporter: the two events he's attending. one a speech about student loans pap clear effort.

we've seen the white house pursuing this over the course of the last several weeks directed at trying to turn out younger voters. they believe it's an issue that resonates. the president's executive order canceling $10,000 for student debt for certain individual, borrowers who qualify. the president will focus on that and lawsuits putting a pause on the effort under way in the administration, but also be an effort to hold a rally for a blue state governor who might very well lose her re-election. michelle lujan grisham in a tight rate. the president going out to bolster that. today is a good window in complexity of dynamics for the white house and how they approach this moment. you mentioned last night. the president's very dire speech where he laid out the stakes of things in this view that included this. take a listen. >> there are candidates running for every level of office in america, for governor, congress, attorney general, secretary of state, who won't commit, will not commit to accepting the

results of election that they're running in. this is about the chaos in america. it's unprecedented, it's unlawful and it's un-american. >> reporter: move from that moment to today pap day focused on student loans and economic issues something the white house knows is by far most important in poll after poll after poll of voters heading into this midterm election and gets to the divergence, balancing act the president and his team tried to kind of hit on over the course of the last several wreeks. new motion exico more democrat republican. that's clear. the president goes out west in less than a month second time not stopping in arizona or nevada critical races. however, first lady jill biden will be in arizona holding multiple events on saturday, guys. >> jeff, to you in iowa.

the grassley re-election campaign. that race is not exactly a nail-biter. is the former president in iowa for the candidates? is he out stumping for something or someone else? >> reporter: well, as phil mentioned, president biden isn't necessarily going to states with the hottest democratic races. the same is also true for former president donald trump. he is coming here to iowa tonight to launch four rallies in five days. heading into election day. you are right. senator chuck grassley is running for an eighth term in the senate and has softness among the conservative base. no question. it's an insurance policy for him to have the former president come, put his arm around him and give him some support. reality is this rally and visit is about donald trump. make no mistake about that. surely, if history is any guide he will spend majority of his time at his rally here in sioux city tonight talking about himself, talking about former grievances from the previous elections, but there's no doubt

that the former president also has played a heavy hand in this midterm election campaign. several of his preferred candidates won their primary campaigns and now are in locked -- in very close races to potentially win next week. so he's certainly, he wants to step into that glow, if you will. the sense of optimism seeing across the country from republicans. the former president wants to reinsert himself in that conversation and he'll be here in iowa. he's going to pennsylvania, florida and ohio all before election day, and, yes, there are some close races in some states, but he's also not going to georgia, which is perhaps the closest state of all, at least in the senate campaign. so certainly you get the sense that 2024 is on the mind of the former president. we're told he could make a decision about if he'll announce a third run perhaps later this month. we'll see. >> we will see. that's true. thank you both. joining me now is michigan's

secretary of state democrat jocelyn benson running for re-election against republican christina karamo. wrongly claimed president trump won the 2020 election. interesting lawsuits, but first give me big picture there in michigan? the threat analysis as it is against the elections some drop boxes as well as we approach this final sprint towards election day. >> reporter: bottom line is, we're ready here in michigan. the effect of the multiyear effort we've been engaged in protecting democracy against constance barrages tos delegitimize our priocesses we are more prepared than ever to protect those in the state. our elections are secure, safe and accessible. it will be to the will of the people. anyone trying to disrupt on election day we have a plan to place to minimize that disruption and seek immediate consequences. >> talk about this decision from

a judge there. you are going to appeal. but a judge decided to invalidate the new rules that you set in place right before the primary for election poll watchers and challengers. the judge found you overstepped in imposing these rules. should have gone through a typical rulemaking process. the result, a sddecision that allows cell phones to be used while partisan poll challengers are sequestered. what's the practical impact of that decision? >> glad you brought that up, because a few minutes ago the michigan supreme court stayed that decision. meaning that the very same challenge of protections we've issued and guidelines and protocols in place in our august election will be in place again this november, next tuesday. so no changes, actually, will happen. a challenger, guidelines and protocols remain in place and grateful to the michigan supreme court for issuing that stay so that we can now move forward

protecting every voter and election worker in this stays. >> a mistake not to go through the normal process? could have gone through the process allowing public comment. you know the procedure. the judge found an executive branch department cannot do instructional guidance what it must do by promulgated rule. was is a miss take? >> simple guidelines our office has authority to issue to challengers ensewering sanctity and serenity of polling places on election day. yes a rulemaking process for rules. these weren't rules simply guidelines and protocols which we have, again, the authority, executive authority to issue. i think we're also in a moment where we see lawsuits being filed here in michigan and other states like pennsylvania to actually try to change these protocols at the last minute creating a lot of confusion. so what we're trying to say now that we have this clarity from the michigan supreme court is that these endlines will be in

place. i'll work with the legislature and others in the future, we always have, to ensure all of our rules are in place in compliance with the law as we've always done. in this case, these were protocols that we had authority to issue and glad the michigan supreme corporate affirmed that authority. >> let me turn to another lawsuit filed by your opponent. there are several, you mentioned. >> yes. >> suing to have absentee ballots requested by mail thrown out, not counted, but this is only for the city of detroit. one of the blackest cities in, in the state of michigan, obviously in the country. i think largest majority black city in america. she says that it's to protect legally cast votes from illegally cast votes. again, no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, put what would that mean for detroiters who requested their ballots by mail and already returned them? >> i'm actually one of those

voters voting absentee and a resident of the city of detroit. voters in michigan have a right under our state constitution to vote absentee. every valid vote will be counted and no valid count will be invalidated. what we are seeing in this smo sm moment is a barrage of lawsuits not to enforce the law but sow seeds of doubt what voters must have the their sfloet our systems. we're going to continue in this moment speak the truth and i think the judge in this particular case has been very clear at what the law is and we anticipate a resolution in that case as well momentarily, or soon. bottom line is this. voters in the city of detroit and throughout the state of michigan have to right to vote absentee. those votes will be counted and we'll work to make sure not only is every ballot vote counted but be an accurate reflection of will of the people. >> look ahead to the vote

counting. put the pig number up on the screen. impressive. 1.9 million more than, so far -- 1. million pre-election ballots requested. more than double what we saw four years ago. when after the polls close on election day should we expect to see the results, those first unofficial, of course, they have to be certified by you, your office when will we see those results out election day? >> we anticipate that beginning around 9:00 p.m. on election night unofficial results will start to trickle out. but the full unofficial results will likely not be fully available for the state of michigan until within 24 hours a the polls closing which is about wednesday. champion is what you're seal probably in other states as well, because it takes time to validly tabulate every ballot, particularly when you have see many absentee ballots in the system which here in michigan we can't for the most part begin processing or tabulatinging in

election day itself. it's go to take time in michigan and other states to deliver results, but voters should know time is spent making sure we're securely, carefully tabulating every vote and prioritizing security and accuracy over efficiency. >> michigan secretary of state jocelyn benson, thank you very much for the information, and helping to moderate expectations as we get to those final hours of the vote. we have invited the secretary's opponent to come on as well. turning now to battleground ohio where democratic congressman tim rying is running against j.d. vance for a senate seat. the race has been much closer and yet it hasn't garnered much financial backing from the party. he told cnn that is playing to his advantage. >> you know, the national democratic party has never been really good at strategic political decisions. so it's not a surprise here. thank god that i have enough

experience that i've built this campaign not needing them and we really don't want them at this point. we've built a robust machine here in ohio that doesn't need the national democratic party and it's going to give me a level of independence now that most senators don't have. >> joining us now to discuss former republican senator scott brown. also a former u.s. ambassador to new zealand under president trump and doug jones, former democratic senator from alabama. welcome to you both. senator jones, start with you, because when you ran in alabama, you had to navigate the state political environment versus the national image within alabama bringing in some surrogates, not others. do you think the national party made a mistake by not investing financially or with time and presence in this ohio senate race? >> you know, victor, first of all, thanks for having me. i think we're the national

party, making a mistake, not investing in the electorate over the years. they invest from candidates one cycle year to the other but not in the battleground where the real work is done on the ground on a day-to-day basis. that's where the problem was. what i've tried to explain to democrats for a long, long time. if you expect to compete in ohio and the south and other places, you've got to do more than just back a were candidate. you've got toing there 24/7, 12 months out of a year and invest in the electorate to let them know what democrats stand for and that's where we will make the difference in the coming election, but it's not just from one candidate to the next. know those days are gone. >> it's based on issues as well. this election cycle seems to benefit republicans in the sense majority of americans whether democrat or republicans are not satisfied with the state of the economy. 75% breelieve the u.s. is in

recession. we are not, but a clear indication as to the pessimism in the country. my question to you, ambassador brown, is what is the republicans' plan specifically to bring down inflation and does that include cutting into americans social security and medicare and many parties have been suggesting? >> first of all, this election is about inflation heating and eating. i suggest probably everything's on sht table but first thinging to do stop spending. they're spending like drunken sailors. can't keep spending and the fed keep raising interest rates. that's a disaster. this is leading us into recession and by definition we're in a recession. >> no, we're not. we are not technically in a recession. we saw positive gdp growth. be honest. saw positive gdp growth. >> highest ever been. you want me to answer or debate? >> just correcting you. >> it's highest since forever.

down 3% from three months ago. we are technically in recession and regardless of that statement and your opposition to it this is about heating, this is about food prices. this is about inflation. while president biden wants to have a conversation about giving same speech he gave last two months ago in philadelphia, people are more concerned about the fact that he doesn't have answers to address these real issues. i predict the house will be 25, get at least 25 seats. you see in new hampshire went from a lean do a lean r. the senate, i think go 52-48, 53-47, because the president and his administration and democrats focusing on one issue and not addressed pocketbook issues everybody cares about right now. >> senator jones, come to you on what we've seen from the former president over the last week or so.

president obama out on the stump for several candidates in these tight races. just a sample. let's watch. >> if ron johnson does not understand that, if he understands giving tax breaks for private planes more than he understands making sure that seniors who worked all their lives are able to retire with dignity and respect, he's not the person who's thinking about you and knows you -- >> if we hadn't just elected somebody whose main qualification was being on tv -- you could see maybe giving it a shot. what's the worst that could happen? well, now we know! it doesn't just work out just because somebody's been on tv. turns out being president or governor is about more than snappy lines and good lighting. >> you could hear how these rousing speeches are getting that crowd excited. should the former president have been out doing this earlier, senator jones? >> you know, look.

i'm not going to say that he should or shouldn't. that's up to the former president, but what i do know is this -- i do no senator brown didn't answer the question a minute ago about what the republican plan is and democrats have been speaking to heating issues and gasoline issues and medical prices and drug prescription prices. they have been adopting legislation and passing legislation, signing it into law to deal with that. just like the answer a moment ago, there is no republican plan. i think what you saw with president obama was talking about those few plans that we have heard from republicans. cutting social security. trying to privatize it. cutting medicare. trying to privatize it so that the corporate folks and wall streeters make ought the money off the works and backs of taxp taxpayers. i think the president is out there, giving his closing arguments and we move from there. >> senator brown -- >> happy to give an answer. let's stop spending, create nmoe

jobs, eliminate red tape stop putting onus on middle class people to pay more and more. her energy cost export energy around the world to pay down debt and deficit not raising interest rate to put young homeowners out of the housing market and creating additional money on our debt that's going to be due. we can't keep this drunken sailor spending. listen, the rhetoric from president obama and from both sides has got to stop. it's really white noise. what the people are listening to right now and looking at are their bottom lines and household expenses. pocketbook and wallet issues dramatically outweigh a lot of what these people coming in last minute do. they don't care. trust me. run 21 races. when president obama came in and i was allegedly down is a points. came in i went up 7 points. it doesn't matter. it matters what the people think. all of these candidates weighed and they'll be judged and the big race is obviously on

tuesday. we'll see. i made my prediction. i think 25 in the house, 52-48, 53-47. my prediction. what's yours? >> got a big jobs report coming out and estimates call for 200,000-some jobs added in october. we'll watch that. top of mind for so many americans. former senator doug jones and ambassador scott brown thank you for joining us. the attack on house speaker nancy pelosi's husband unleashed a debate how much security lawmakers and their families really need. where both parties stand on that issue. we'll get to that. and another check on the economy tomorrow with those jobs reports coming out. how this final set of numbers could can impact next week's midterm elections. we will work with you every step of the waway to help you achieve it. so l let us focus on the how. just tell us - - what's your why? certified turbocharger, suspension and fuel injection.

be released tomorrow morning. this will be the last major check on the economy before the midterm elections. >> new numbers out today showed weekly jobless claims dipped slightly to 217,000 last week. cnn's alison kosik joins us now. what do we expect out of tomorrow's report? estimates call gain of nearly 200,000 for october. >> reporter: hi. yes. another snapshot of the labor market and jobs report for october's numbers. employers are expected to have added 200,000 jobs last month. that would be actually down from 263,000 in september. so a little cooling off there and what was otherwise a hot job sector. unemployment rate expected to edge up slightly to 3. % from 3.5%. nowhere near the pain that fed chair jay powell talks about the kind of pain that the fed wants

to see to know their aggressive interest rates hike are making a dent in inflation. not seeing that happen much in the labor market. >> speaking of the fed's interest rates hikes we know new data on mortgage rates and the impact. what do you know? >> yeah. victor, the 30-year fixed rate fell a bit this we're after surging past 7% last week. that rate, more than doubled from a year ago when a 30-year fix was a little over 3% illustrating how much the federal reserve's aggressive campaign of this rate hiking is affecting this one particular area of the economy. the housing market. it was hot. it's cooling off. many potential home buyers are finding it harder to afford a house. your question about what the higher rates say about the state of the economy, though. look at economy. from different views, and in many areas it looks healthy. like the labor market, plus the economy grew over the summer. then there's this chronically high inflation that the fed is

trying to get a handle on. so far, the fed's not making a dent and as we learned yesterday, powell signaled more rate hikes to come to try to gain some traction on inflation, but you know this. there's a lot of worry the fed's aggressive rate hiking will create a fed-induced recession that won't be easy to balance back from. that's really what's got everybody worried at this point. >> alison kosik. thank you. on capitol hill, the attack on house speaker nancy pelosi's husband has far to debate about security funding for lawmakers and their families. >> with just days to go until the midterm elections some members are holding out to see how the balance of the house shifts before making a decision on that. we're joined with more. what have you learned? >> reporter: well, there are a lot of calculations going to determine what way capital police can move forward after this incident. similar to what happened after january 6th.

lawmakers starting to understand why some security appropriations are necessary and got a flood of funding. however, now these requests are being met with skepticism. here's why. look what democratic lawmaker zoe lofgren put out a scathing letter to capitol police saying we want to know exactly every policy that should have peritarianed to protecting nancy pelosi and further that would have dictated relationships with local police and they want very detailed answers about what those procedures were, if those policies were followed and the message there, they need to come up with good questions before they start, answers to these questions before they begin asking for more money. so those are some of the conversations that are going on on capitol hill. some sources indicated to me they're skeptical of some of the, some of the money it's going to take to revamp this organization, and part of the problem here is that across the board there's just not a total

consensus on what this agency should be. for example, the capitol police inspector general thinks that should be basically a mini secret service. however, there are other people who say, capitol police is a police department. so there's a push and pull there. let's talk about some of the ideas they do have. some of the things being floated out there according to sources we speak with include 24/7 monitoring of homes for members of leadership, and people hoop have threat-based details. some could include temporary protective detail for spouses and the big thing. hiring 840 u.s. cp officers over the next three years. directly from basically the review general russell honoree did. when he presented that he said to kevin mccarthy. mccarthy, house minority leader was skeptical of that.

at the time when i debriefed him, his opinion just need better management and don't need more officers. again that is a very good example of push and pull here. what is this agency supposed to do? what's the overall vision for it and how do they meet the mission? is it a management problem or man power. those are the questions. back to you. >> frustrating. this debate going on for months, and clearly what we all agrow on status quo is not acceptable. not up to par. >> thank you. north korea fires more ballistic missiles today t. a warning to the u.s. and south korea to stop the military drills. new reaction from the defense secretary, next. and nba star kyrie irving is taking responsibility for the negative impact of his tweet that promoted a documentary that was anti-semitic. is that enough? the nba commissioner is weighing in.

defense secretary lloyd austin just responded to north korea's ongoing barrage of missile launches and confirms the u.s. and south korea will extend their largest-ever joint military exercises on the korean peninsula. >> barbara starr is at the pentagon with the latest. north korea fired three more missiles today. what are you hearing from defense officials? >> reporter: well, secretary

austin made these comments during a brief press conference actually with his south korean counterpart here for pre-scheduled talks. quite an opportunity to hear what both men had to say about what north korea is up to, and, of course a good deal of concern that one of north korea's very recent missile launches in the last 24, 36 hours or so was an attempt to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile that could potentially some day if it worked reach the united states. thankfully it did not work in this test launch. listen to have some tough words from lloyd austin. >> we in our commitment to defending the rok is ironclad. we strongly condemn the vprks irresponsible and reckless activities, as we said before, these kinds of activities are destabilizing to the region

potentially. so we call on them to cease that, that type of activity and to begin to engage in serious dialogue. >> reporter: the south korean minister went a step further saying if north korea were to launch a nuclear attack in his words it would be the end of the kim regime. of course, referring to kim jong-un in the north. now, expect one thing out of this meeting. they have extended those air exercises and there are hints that there well may be additional u.s. assets rotating into the region for presence hoping north korea eventually gets the message. >> all right. barbara starr at the pentagon. thank you, barbara. we want to bring you this just in to cnn. white house press secretary karine jean-pierre confirmed us embassy officials met with brittney griner in russia today. the wnba star detained in a russian prison on drug smuggling charges since february. >> the white house says doing as

well as can be expected under the circumstances. in regards to potential prisoner swap, though, the administration insists this is still a priority. >> i can also tell you that in the subsequent weeks despite a lack of good-faith negotiation sbi s by the russians the u.s. continued to follow-up on that offer and propose alternative potential ways forward with russians through all available channels. this continues to be a top priority. >> that was white house press secretary caryn jean-pierre speaking there. one of the key voting groups that helped democrats win the white house and the senate in 2020 may be kturning out for republicans instead this time around. what this means for democrats' most vulnerable races. that's up next.

a new poll suggests democrats are in a vulnerable position among a critical group of voters pap new "wall street journal" poll show as shift among white suburban women. republicans are now gaining their support and trust specifically when it comes to two issues. the economy and inflation. with me now, a frontline democrat fighting for those suburban votes. representative lauren underwood from illinois running for re-election against republican challenger scott ryder. congresswoman, thank you so much. you were comfortably running in a reelection, won two years ago. redistricting.

newly redistricting district and you are facing a republican challenger you yourself admit had more name recognition than you do. you said majority have not seen my name on a ballot before. how big a disadvantage is that for you? >> the district is 70% new, thanks to redistricting. my opponent is very, someone who's not well known. we have a brand new congressional district, and i have really enjoyed the opportunity to crisscross this district and talk with voters to earn her support in this election. >> you talk about touting tax credit extensions and inflation reduction act, something that has been important for you lowering costs for health care, obviously, for people in your district and in the country but something republicans point to as one of the biggest causes of inflation in the country. how are you countering that narrative? >> we know there's so many families who have been struggling with high costs of goods and services, but in particular when we think about the recurring costs families

face month after month we know that health care costs rank very high on their list. i've heard from so many constituents to ststruggle to p their premium and then can't afford their prescription drugs or get a necessary procedure. i wrote a bill saying no american would pay more than 8.5% of their income for a marketplace plan. this legislation was signed into law in march of 2021. as part of the american rescue plan and then we got a three-year extension in the inflation reduction acts. this has been so powerful. after these tax credits were expanded and made more generous, 14.5 million americans signed up for coverage, and four out of five enrollees now find a plan for $10 or less a month. the average family saving $2,400 per year. thanks to this legislation.

what we're talking about is a bill, the inflation reduction act fully paid for by requiring corporate tax evaders to pay their fair share in federal taxes. we are able to take that money and offer relief to hard-working american families. all across the country. including in my congressional district. >> of course, as you know, health care costs aren't the only costs families are concerned about. gasoline, at the grocery store, top of mind. you acknowledged that saying the inflation piece is certainly a priority but we've seen some important progress. where specifically are you seeing progress on inflation? >> well, what we are seeing is we had taken action as democrats in the congress to lower costs on health care issues, in the inflation reduction act included a $35 cap on insulin for people who are diabetic and need access to this life-saving drug. we are helping seniors across the country finally letting

medicare negotiate prescription drug costs and are really responding to these pressing needs that families have been facing for decades now. so i think that obviously this is in the context of inflation around the globe, and the context of record corporation profits and the greed we are seeinging from some of the largest corporations in this country, and so we are laser focused on tackling inflation and offering relief to hard-working american families. >> you've heard from top republicans who signaled cutting into popular entitlement programming to lower spending in the country to help bring inflation down, like social security. how are you responding to that? health care is a big priority to you. a field you worked in before. these are popular programs. why isn't this something we've heard more from democrats in terms of warning voters what

republicans may do? we're just five days away? >> i'm a nurse and heard from so many seniors across our community how important these two programs are. medicare and social security offering health care to our seniors and economic security in retirement, and the fact that we have republicans actively campaigning on cutting these programs workers earned throughout their entire careers, paid into these programs, and expressing glee and delight on cutting them and causing american seniors to suffer is unacceptable. that's the choice that we have on our ballots right now. so we've seen incredible enthusiasm as voters head to polls, take advantage to early voting. here in illinois early voting numbers very strong and voters have been rejecting this extreme republican plan to gut medicare and social security. >> why isn't this a message we've heard more from from your party, though?

seems to have only been highlighted in the past few weeks? >> we've certainly been talking a lot about it as house democrats. house democrats focused on putting people over politics, creating good jobs, lowering costs helping to keep our communities safe all the while republicans are focused on taking away reproductive freedoms, on cutting social security, and i certainly talk with my community about these issues every day. >> congresswoman lauren underwood, thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> thank you. up next -- >> bouncing ball to third. just in time! the astros have a world series no-hitter! >> the houston astros make world series history. details, next. sorry. marcia has sleep apnea and her struggles with c cpap had me sleepeping in the guest room. now she's got inspire. it's a sleep apnea treatment ththat works inside her body with the click of a remote.
