12:00 pm
ur benefits at visionworks! how can you see me squinting? i can't! i'm just telling everyone! hey! use your vision benefits before they expire. visionworks. see the difference.
12:01 pm
hi, my name's steve. i lost 138 pounds on golo and i kept it off. so with other diets, you just feel like you're muscling your way through it. the reason why i like golo is plain and simple, it was easy. i didn't have to grit my teeth and do a diet. golo's a lifestyle change and you make the change and it stays off. golo's changed my life in so many ways. i sleep better, i eat better. took my shirt off for the first time in 25 years. it's golo. it's all golo. it's smarter, it's better, it will change your life forever.
12:02 pm
it is the top of the hour on "cnn newsroom." >> good to be with you. we are in the final sprint to election day. candidates have just five days now to make their cases to voters before the polls close on november 8th. so far more than 30 million voters have already cast their ballots in 46 states. the most seen in texas and florida. that pace is on track to exceed the historic turnout of 2018. >> the pace on the campaign trail is just as intense. big names from both political parties are stumping. donald trump is on a push to do four rallies in five days. now insiders say he may be campaigning as much for himself as those on the 2022 ballot. soon president biden will speak from new mexico on student debt relief and a major appeal to voters in these crucial final days. >> our correspondents are tracking some of the key campaigns for us. arlette saenz is in new mexico. gloria in new york, jessica dean
12:03 pm
in pennsylvania, and omar jimenez is in wisconsin. let's start there with arlette. expecting the president to speak about student loan debt relief this hour. his messaging has been wide ranging, let's say, in recent days. what's the strategy? >> reporter: well, president biden is trying to lay out the stakes of this election. yesterday he really zeroed in on the need for voters to reject election deniers and also vote to protect democracy. as the president makes that push, polling has shown that the economy and inflation remain of top concern to voters heading into next week's election. today in new mexico the president will be speaking to one piece of that economic puzzle when he talks about his administration's efforts to address student loans that so many americans in this country are facing. a white house official says the president will be warning of what they describe as disastrous consequences if republican-led states are successful in their
12:04 pm
legal challenges to block the president's efforts to offer up to $20,000 worth of student loan relief to americans. now the white house has hoped that that issue of offering that type of relief to student loan borrowers would help energize voters. the president is also using this trip to new mexico as an opportunity to try to boost the democratic governor in the state, governor michelle lujan grisham, who is facing a tough re-election fight from her republican challenger who has centered a lot of his campaign on crime. now so much of the focus in this election has been on control of the house and senate, but the white house is also hoping to retain as many democratic governor seats across the country as they can as that will also be crucial to enacting the president's agenda. i'll also note the president is not traveling to states like arizona and nevada which have very close contests in those senate races. but first lady jill biden will be traveling to arizona saturday
12:05 pm
to campaign there with the democratic senator mark kelly. >> notable that the president will not be campaigning in those states. arlette saenz, thank you. in deep blue new york city, hillary clinton will be out campaigning for democrats as the race for governor is tightening. this evening she and governor kathy hochul will appear side by side. vice president kamala harris and new york attorney general letitia james, as well. gloria pasmino joins us live. what role does clinton see herself playing here? i know she was on cnn this morning talking about it. >> reporter: that's right. she'll be at barnard college, an all-women's college, making the message about how potentially historic this election could be for the incumbent governor kathy hochul should we win this election. she would become the first woman governor elected here in new york. she is, of course, the first woman governor after the former governor, andrew cuomo, resigned from office 14 months ago. and clinton will be here talking about that unifying message, warning voters that they have to
12:06 pm
get out there and cast their vote. she's been talking about the lack of enthusiasm, something that democrats have become increasingly concerned about in the last several weeks in the lead up to the midterms. so she'll be drumming up support for hochul here talking about the historic nature of this election but also encouraging voters to get out there. listen to what the former secretary of state had to say about it this morning. >> every poll that i've seen shows kathy hochul still ahead, and i expect her to win on tuesday. but a midterm election is always difficult for the party in power. our job is to convince our voters to turn out. >> reporter: now turnout is going to be key even in a place like new york where democrats outnumber republicans. our most recent cnn poll showed that enthusiasm among voters is down 27%, that's down from 37%
12:07 pm
the last time voters went out to vote in midterm elections. so certainly a concern that even in a place like new york which is expected to go blue every single time there is a serious challenge here from the republican, lee zeldin, and that hochul might not perform as well as other depends would like her to. >> gloria, thank you. in the frenzy of this final week before election day, the most money spent in a senate race has been in pennsylvania. just under $30 million. now republican mehmet oz is in a tight race against democrat john fetterman. >> jessica dean is outside philadelphia with the latest. how are the candidates using these final campaign days? >> reporter: good afternoon to you both. they're certainly flooding the television airwaves, i'll tell you that much. some $30 million, as you mentioned, is a lot of money. they're inundating people with ads. we've also seen them both rapidly pick up their campaign stops here in the last several
12:08 pm
days. they know this is go time, they've got to get out and actually get people to the polls. it's one thing to sell them, you got to get them to vote. as you see behind me, this is going to be a john fetterman event tonight. worth noting they said they will wrap up by the time the foils play in the world series -- phillies play in the world series tonight. a big issue in pennsylvania. a lot of attention being paid to that. but this is a very tight race. poll after pokemon go shows this is an incredible tight race with an open senate seat. republicans hoping to keep it. democrats hoping to pick it up. it could very well determine the outcome of who will hold control in the senate. that's the reason millions and millions of dollars have been spent here. i'll let you listen to both of the candidates with some of their closing messages. >> always beinging there to stand up and support all this kind of core kinds of values, whether the minimum wage, the -- whether that is protecting abortion rights. clearly if you've never had any experience of actually living in pennsylvania, understanding
12:09 pm
pennsylvania, how can you ever effectively fight for pennsylvania? [ applause ] >> that's right. >> which is why it was so important that we would have a debate and make sure that we could ask hard questions of each other so people can defend their positions. when i kept pestering and pushing and nudging john fetterman to answer for his radical positions he had trouble because it's difficult to explain at a time when so many pennsylvanians are having their lives turned upside down. >> reporter: and both of these candidates getting a boost from the biggest stars in their party. president biden and former president barack obama coming here to pennsylvania, to philadelphia, obama to pittsburgh on saturday. also on saturday donald trump is coming to pennsylvania. of course pennsylvania, a very hard-fought state in 2020. biden edging trump out here to win the presidency. so it is a bit of a proxy war once again. but it will be interesting to see them all coming back here over the weekend. >> was donald trump's favorite
12:10 pm
candidate there. we shall see. down to the wire. thank you. more than $11 million have been spent on campaign ads in this last week for the senate race in wisconsin. >> there's no clear leader between republican incumbent ron johnson and democrat mandela barnes. cnn has more from wisconsin at an event for johnson. what's going on there? >> reporter: we're getting ready for senator ron johnson's latest stops on his bus tour throughout the state in this final stretch to election day. really through ads and campaign stops like these we've been getting an impression on the strategies from both of these campaigns on what they want voters to think about as we head into election day. for lieutenant governor democrat mandela barnes, he has said that he is clearly on offense at this point. he, of course, has taken the fight to johnson, calling him the worst senator we've had since joe mccarthy. while senator ron johnson has preached this idea or tried to
12:11 pm
paint himself as someone who can unify wisconsin, saying that he's even trying to recruit democrats over the course of this. that said, he also has accused barnes of someone -- as someone who hates this country. i asked him pointblank, how does that square with your message of so-called unity. take a listen. where does that stand in what you're saying? >> that's the truth. you do have to convey the truth people, particularly in an election. the election's a choice between two people f. you feel, the truth is the left are the ones that are dividing this nation. the left is angry. >> right out of the playbook of joe mccarthy. he's the worst since joe mccarthy. the campaign has been lies and distractions because he has no record to defend. it's been 12 years of nothing, 12 years of serving himself and turning his back on the people of the state of wisconsin. >> reporter: now for barnes' comments -- for johnson's comments, barnes said obviously he doesn't hate america. it's been a similar feel in the
12:12 pm
governor's race here between democrat incumbent tony evers and republican tim michaels. that's the second most expensive governor's race in the country. no clear leader in any of these races. we'll see what happens in the next few days. >> omar jimenez on the campaign trail. omar, thank you very much. joining us chief political analyst gloria borger and cnn senior political commentator david axelrod, former senior adviser to president obama. welcome to you both. david, these very close races, all the stars are out, biden, harris, clinton, trump. you tweeted this about the president's appearance last night in the evening, his speech. issues of democracy are hugely important at this moment, and in next week's election totally appropriate for the president to address them. still as a matter of practical political politics, i doubt many democrats in marginal races are eager for him to be on tv tonight. you have advised against that speech at this moment? >> yeah, i probably would have. i probably would have because, you know -- this is true for any
12:13 pm
incumbent president in a situation like it. barack obama was not being invited into a lot of campaigns back in 2010 because you become the fulcrum of the opposition campaign. and they want to make joe biden the issue in this campaign. his approval rating is in the low 40s. that's advantageous. the republicans. mow campaigns would like him to be on the down low now. that's why he's not going into the most hotly contested states. so i probably would have discouraged it -- i thought his message was fine. i think democracy is challenged now, and there are issues that should be on people's minds when they vote. but as a -- just as a practical tactical political matter, no, i wouldn't have advised him to do that speech. >> gloria, this hits on the issue of strategy amongst democrats in general. we heard from tim ryan this morning on cnn this morning. he is in a tight race there in ruby red ohio. and he hasn't been shy about
12:14 pm
being critical of the party for distancing it says, for not giving him the funding he says his republican opponent has been getting from republicans. listen to what he specifically said about the messaging, about the strategy from democrats. >> you know, the national democratic party has never been really good at strategic political decisions. so you know, 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 that most senators don't have. >> we don't want them at this point. he's not just talking about the president, he's talking about the national democratic party. is that going to win him more votes? >> reporter: that's his narrative. he's sticking to it because it's been working for him. i mean, this is the ruby red state of ohio, last election trump won by i believe eight
12:15 pm
points. and he on his own has been a great fundraiser. he's raised about $48 million on his own. and his narrative is better when he says i don't need those democrats, i ran against nancy pelosi, as he said in his recent ad, i ran against nancy pelosi for speaker. you know, i am an independent. that for a democrat is a great campaign in the state of ohio. and national democrats felt, and i think rightly so, that they had to put their money into places where they had a better shot at winning. and that's exactly what they did. and he raised his own money, and he's doing really well against j.d. vance who has not been a great candidate. could they have thrown an extra few bucks in? yeah, maybe. but i think this works for him to call himself independent. >> david, i talked about the stars out tonight with kathy hochul, governor of new york,
12:16 pm
running to be re-elected now governor. you've got the former nominee, hillary clinton, you've got the vice president, harris, the new york a.g., letitia james s. hochul in real trouble? >> this is a closer race than democrats anticipated in the state of new york. and that's flowed down to congressional races in the state, too. i think crime, the issue of crime has really transformed this race in a big way. i think -- i still think she's the favorite. and you know, these appearances much like all the other celebrity appearances, as you call them, are at this point all about turnout and trying to get the base of the democratic party out that the reason the opposition party generally wins these midterms is because there's more enthusiasm on the part of the out party that wants to express grievances than the in party. i think the message is going to be, hey, this is a race, and you guys better get out. >> gloria, we live in a world where everything seems to be
12:17 pm
unprecedented, each day we keep throwing that word out. never seen before, unusual, what have you. and you look at somebody like liz cheney, campaigning for a democrat, never supported a democrat before, but she will be now to preserve democracy. alissa slotkin herself saying that democracy and its preservation is the ultimate kitchen table issuement but wwhen -- issue. but when you look at the polling, that doesn't seem to be the case. the ultimate kitchen table issue is the economy. >> yeah. absolutely. look, more than 70% of the people in this country think that democracy is at risk, okay. but when you ask them which is the most important issue to you, of course it's the economy, it's inflation. and i think it's only like 9% of likely voters say it is about democracy. so liz cheney is out there supporting whomever she can, including democrats she doesn't agree with a lot on policy.
12:18 pm
but this is her issue. she gave up her race on it. she is not going to be a member of congress after january. so it's hugely important to three quarters of the people in this country. but right now, as people are facing high inflation, gas prices, et cetera, et cetera, that's not what they're thinking about, and to go back to david's point, i think while i agree with him, while it was important for president biden to raise this issue because it comes from his heart and we know this has always been a huge issue for him, right now i don't think people really want to hear about that as much as they want to hear about how am i going to get through the next pay period. >> yeah. >> yeah. you know, i would just say on the cheney campaigning, the value of it to alissa slotkin and the people she's campaigning for is she is in a plus-four republican district, and whatever liz cheney says, the
12:19 pm
appearance of a conservative republican saying it's okay to vote for this democratic candidate is important. and i think she's running an ad in arizona for mark kelly. this is aimed squarely at those republican-leaning independents and maybe fallen away republicans, and just as a tactical matter it's useful in a district like that to have her there. >> she also said she would -- if lived in ohio she'd vote for tim ryan. that's what he'd like to hear. trying to win over republicans, as well. >> she's out there. >> gloria, david, thank you both. >> thank you. we're following developments in the justice department's case against former president trump over the documents found at mar-a-lago. details next. and the cdc released updated guidance on taking opioid after overdoses dramatically increased in the last several years.

a key trump adviser has been granted immunities for his testimony in the investigation into the documents found at mar-a-lago. >> cash patel had previously declined to answer questions by asserting his fifth amendment right. joining us, paula reid. paula, being granted immunity shows how important his testimony may be to this investigation. >> reporter: that's exactly right. prosecutors clearly believe that cash patel, one of former president trump's closest advisers, has valuable information, which is why he has been given immunity after he refused to answer questions before the grand jury. now he is one of a small circle of close associates who have potential legal exposure in the mar-a-lago document investigation. but now he cannot be prosecuted for any truthful, key word
12:25 pm
truthful, information that he gives in this investigation. now what will prosecutors ask him about? well, there's a lot to discuss with mr. patel. he is, of course, a former national security and defense official in the trump administration. he is also one of the people who's designated to interact with the national archives and the justice department as those agencies were trying to get back to these classified documents that former president trump took after he left office. now publicly, patel has insisted that trump declassified some of the documents before he left office. and he has even publicly blamed the white house counsel for not completing the appropriate paperwork to change the classified markings. now this is very likely something that prosecutors are going to want to hone in on because if mr. patel says in front of the grand jury with this immunity that, yes, he did, he did believe that the former president declassified these documents, that's what happened, that really muddles certain aspects of this case. but if he says actually, no,
12:26 pm
what i said publicly wasn't true, i didn't witness that, i have no knowledge of that, it's also problematic because then you have a witness who said one thing publicly and a different thing before a grand jury. so it will be very interesting to see what he is asked about and what his responses are. lot of questions, of course, about what this means for the former president. but really we're going to have to wait and see what exactly it is that patel says to prosecutors before we really have any sense of what this truly means for the former president. though, of course, it is never a good day when one of your closest associates is answering questions from federal prosecutors about potential crimes that happened on your property. >> yeah. you can't overstate how close they are. important. and how they remain to be. paula reid, thank you. for the first time in six years, the cdc is updating its guidance on how americans should and should not be using prescription opioids. >> in recent years drug overdose deaths have jumped dramatically, though the majority of them are
12:27 pm
now driven by elicit synthetic opioids. senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen joins us now. so what do these new reconciliation mentions say? -- recommendations say? >> these new recommendations are in some ways a course correction to what was done in 2016. those guidelines have come to be seen as too rigid. obviously we need to do something about the opioid problem in this country, but it was seen as too rigid when really there are many different kinds of patients, and there are some legitimate uses of opioids, for example, for cancer patients in some cases. so let's take a look at sort of the picture of who's in pain in the united states today. there are -- the numbers are really high. about one in five adults experience chronic pain. and one in 14 adults have experienced pain nearly every day over the past three months that limited their life or their work activities. so the cdc again is trying not to do such a cookie cutter approach. here are some of the pieces of advice that they're giving
12:28 pm
doctors -- they're saying that nonopioid therapies should be preferred for subacute or chronic pain. in other words, if it's not acute, think about prescribing something other than opioids. if you are proscrescribing opio don't discontinue abruptly. and consider offering naloxone when you give an opioid prescription. naloxone, of course, the antidote to overdose. so they're saying, look, if you're going to prescribe opioids you should be thinking about giving them the antidote right from the very beginning. >> wow, those numbers are high. one in five experiencing chronic pain? elizabeth cohen, thank you. new twitter chief elon musk spoke to civil rights leaders as the use of racial slurs on the platform surge. we'll speak to one of the leaders who was on that call up next. this is financial security. and lincoln financial solutions will help you get t there. as you plan, protect anand retire.

>> reporter: we are currently working our sources as we try to find out exactly what is behind this -- call it an alert that was issued by the fbi field office. we can put it up for our viewers. this was tweeted actually just in the last 30 minutes or so by fbi saying that the agency has received credible information of a broad threat to synagogues in new jersey. the fbi then goes on to ask at this time that people take all security precautions to protect their community, also facilities, and then the fbi wraps up by writing, "we will share more information as soon as we can. stay alert in case of emergency. call police." the fbi not elaborating on what exactly is behind this threat. as you can imagine, the fbi and its intelligence analysts certainly receive just countless sort of threats that they have to go through. certainly this would lead us to
12:35 pm
conclude that they at least have some solid information here to issue this really broad alert right now for people to remain aler alert. again, we are trying to find out what's behind this alert that was issued by fbi agents in new jersey. >> and for years now, synagogues have had to reconsider their security plans and, in some cases, fortify their physical locations there because of the very real threats. paolo sandoval -- >> sadly we've seen that before. >> we have. keep us up to date if you get more. thank you. twitter's new leader, elon musk, is facing increased criticism over the rampant hate speech seen on the social media app. >> on monday evening, the billionaire held a zoom call with representatives from seven nonprofits about the disturbing trend, and one of those leaders is with us. rashad robinson, president of color of change. rashad, good to see you again. tell us first how this call came about. was this something that you all approached him to do, or you
12:36 pm
were invited to be a part of? >> well, our organization, the organization on the call, many of them have been engaged in these issues, have been engaged with twitter for years, but also a number of us led the $7 billion boycott, the stop hate for profit coalition. when they reached out to a number of members of the coalition just to be in conversation, there call sort of developed. it developed very quickly. elon through a friend of his reached out. so it really did come from the twitter side. and it moved very quickly within 24 hours. we were all on a zoom conversation. we ended up sort of engaging in a conversation. many of our groups, mine included, had already began conversations with advertisers or been engaging and pushing advertisers to both hold twitter to a set of principles that they were going to continue to advertise, and to continue to maybe build energy around a
12:37 pm
potential boycott if some of the changes that we've been hearing about about and some of the stories that were bubbling up from inside of twitter headquarters were actually true. >> i know that the meeting had been described as productive, that he appeared receptive to your comments and suggestions, and that he agreed to hold off on any major changes to the content moderation policies before the election. now that also means allowing people back on to the platform when they had been kicked off for breaking their rules. he's holding off on that, but was there any indication he gave as to when that would change possibly? >> well, we asked for a transparent and clear process for any of those type of changes. he committed to that on the call. and you know, after the call, in a zoom, none of us tweeted out or went to the press to talk about this. actually it was elon musk who, you know, very early yesterday morning tweeted out that he had had this meeting, tweeted out what was agreed by the groups
12:38 pm
and him. and now that this is out there, in his own words, time will tell. word are one thing, actions are another. what i will be clear about is what we addressed on that call is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the issues at twitter, in terms of the challenges. and holding off to big changes until the election is very much about harm reduction, about making sure that there are not these swift issues inside of a platform that has problems even if they don't make any changes. so what we are sort of very clear about is that there are a lot of issues to deal with with this platform. this kind of singular leader who shoots from the hip and talks about changes that he's going to make without oftentimes the kind of transparency around those decisions. and sometimes not really sharing thoughtfulness about how it's going to impact a whole range of
12:39 pm
people, as well as a whole set of systems that are impacted by twitter. so we are paying close attention, and we are continuing to be in conversation with advertisers about the path forward. >> yeah, of course we saw according to an organization that watches social media posts, 500% peak in the use of the "n" word on twitter. in the 12 hours after the twitter deal was done. some of these sites that perpetuate these racial and hate groups and ideas, they see this as carte blanche now that the bird is freed. we'll see how much actually changes. rashad robinson, thank you so much for sharing what happened on that zoom call. >> thank you. cnn has obtained another 911 call from a child who survived the mass shooting in uvalde. again, it is raising questions about the police response. are you going to hear a portion of the call yourself. that's next.
