>> in a california courtroom today, tearful conspiracy laced testimony from the man who brutally attacked nancy pelosi's 83 old husband, paul pelosi. david depape spending over an hour on the stand today, as you can see here from these court sketches, it's the first time that jurors have actually heard directly from the man who broke into the former speaker of the house is home, he says, to interrogate her. they were also shown a video of the attack. i'm about to show it to you, but i do want to warn you it's disturbing. you don't even see the most graphic parts here though. the pope testified he was surprised when he encountered her husband, paul pelosi, instead. and then struck paul pelosi in the head with a hammer. police arrived on the scene, i should note, david depape, who is in court today, has pleaded not guilty. he did say today though that he thought he had killed paul pelosi and was disappointed after his original plan to object nancy pelosi had fallen apart. closing arguments in that case are expected to wrap up tomorrow. we'll keep you updated on that. i want to thank you for joining us tonight. cnn news night with abby phillip starts right now. >> the israeli military marches into gaza's main hospital. that's tonight, fun news night. >>, good evening, i'm abby philip in new york. and we are following breaking news on what the idf calls a precise and targeted operation that puts al-shifa hospital now in its crosshairs. al-shifa's gaza city's largest medical facility. it is also what the israelis say is a base of operation for hamas terrorists. that's an assessment that is also been endorsed earlier today by an american intelligence. now before tonight, that hospital already resembled but hell on earth, but no fuel, no power, little medicine, no anesthesia, and thousands of patients. doctors there tells cnn that they can hear armored vehicles, but are unsure right now if soldiers have penetrated the hostile perimeter. we'll start first with cnn's jeremy diamond in solid wrote. jeremy, we've heard a lot from the idf over the past few hours. what do you understand the objective right now of this dramatic offensive into al-shifa? >> well, abby, we been watching for weeks now is the israeli military has been laying the ground work for al-shifa hospital. they have claim for weeks that hamas operates a large command and control center below the hospital grounds. and tonight, we are learning that the idf is carrying out what they are calling a precise and targeted ground operation on at least one part of the al-shifa complex. you can hear explosions behind me though happening in the northern part of gaza, further away from al-shifa hospital, indicating fighting still happening there. but what the idf is saying is there that they're carrying out this operation based on intelligence and operational necessity. they say that their forces include personnel with medical teams and with arab language speakers as well to avoid civilian harm. hamas, for its part tonight, rejecting once again this accusation that it's operating out of hospitals, and it also interestingly blames not only israel, but the united states for what it says is giving israel the greenlight to conduct this operation by endorsing what it is calling a false narrative about its presence in hospitals. indeed, earlier today the white house national security spokesman john kirby saying that the united states does believe that hamas operates in an underground facility below al-shifa hospital, and that it might be holding hostages there as well. in fact, that's something that an idf spokesman tonight a very strongly hinted at, saying that there may be hostages there, potential hostages at this hospital. it's not clear whether this operation is designed to extract those hostages from that hospital, if indeed they are there. but he did say that this is a very complex operation, made more complex by the fact that we know that thousands of people are still at this hospital, including patients and staff, but also thousands of people who are displaced and sheltering on the hospital grounds. earlier today, a doctor telling cnn that tanks were spotted at the facility, gunfights could be heard in the yard, and clearly a very precarious situation for people who wear their. >> absolutely, an incredibly dynamic over the next few hours. jeremy, we will stay close to you as this develops. thank you. for now, i want to bring in alex -- he's a former pentagon counter terrorism official, and a senior fellow at the elected council. alex, good to have you here. as jeremy just laid this out, this is going to be complex. but the israeli military is also saying it's going to be precise. i want to take a look here at this al-shifa hospital compound. it is massive. how can you be precise and targeted in an environment like this? >> to answer that question, it is the largest hospital complex in gaza. it predates the modern state of israel, it was actually a british army barracks before it was approved upon by the egyptians and is released over the years. so as you mentioned, its message. but there's intelligence allegedly that there are different potential command and control centers on the ground, as well as tunnels and complexes all over the complex there. so their operations right now are targeting a couple of different locations on the compound. >> just as you spoke about those tunnels, we've looked at this map quite a lot over the last month or so. while she foot is in this area up here, and this really does seem to be kind of the heart of the tunnel network. it is so dense right here. do you think that when they say there's an operational necessity here, you heard jeremy lay out some possibilities that perhaps there are hostages there, perhaps there is a command center there. what do you think is the most critical thing for the idf to take out in this moment? >> so, if they're operating on active intelligence, i think you mentioned a couple of logical possibilities. if it's time sensitive, it's likely that there's potentially -- the command center has been known and speculated for a long time, but the israelis have been in the area within a couple hundred meters for a few days, and they've lost the element of surprise. hamas will know that they're in the area, and it's good possibility that hamas might of use the tunnels to move to other locations. but what they'll still finds will be a command center, which will then lend credence to the statements that hamas has been using the hospitals and civilians as human shields. as you saw, they've already started getting on the offensive -- the americans saying they're responsible for what happened as opposed to them having a command center underneath the hospital. >> i want to read here the white house statement, it's pretty interesting. it says we do not support striking the hospital from the air, we do not want to see a firefight in hospital where innocent people, helpless people, six people are trying to get medical care that they deserve. let's take another look at this hospital compound. there's a lot of points here, where people are sheltering in this compound. and that is going to be a huge factor. can you do this while maintaining an effort to prevent civilian casualties? >> it's a great question, and it's in line with the white house statement. it specifically why they didn't want to see an aerial attack on the hospital, because with larger explosives, this would have to be ground troops going, in likely special operations forces going into targeted locations, to avoid the situation you're talking about. you're 100 percent correct. >> before we go, a quick look at what's happening here. this part of gaza here at the top, incredibly densely populated, a lot of hospital facilities, but also this is where all of the bombing has been happening. the vast majority of it. alex, always great to have you with us. thank you very much. and just in, we are learning that president biden and benjamin netanyahu spoke at length about the hostages, and it comes as we heard this today. >> mister president, what are the possibilities -- >> can you address the halted is directly and give them a message of hope? >> yes i can, i've been talking with the people involved every single day. i believe it's going to happen, but i don't want to get into details. >> what's your message for the families? >> hang in there, we're coming. >> mister president -- israel and hamas are close to a deal, for the release of the hostages? is there anything you can add to that? >> no. thank you. >> that was president biden they're sounding optimistic about a potential deal to free more hostages in gaza. this is as family members of those being held captive demand the immediate release of their loved ones. and among those being held hostage is or levy. he's an israeli who on october 6th, he and his wife left their two year old at his in-laws to attend an outdoor music festival. that's when hamas stormed that location, taking him hostage and murdering his wife. i'm joined now by his brother, michael. michael, incredible condolences to you for the loss of your sister in law. and also, what you find yourself doing here, which is pleading for the release of your brother. can you tell us a little bit about what happened to them? >> of course. and i want to celebrate peace and love at the nova festival, they reached the festival at 6:20 am, that horrible morning of october 7th. and it was ten minutes before hell started. when they reached her, the missile attacks started, and they had to run away. they managed to text my mother, and told her that they're heading back. but unfortunately, after a few minutes, they had to stop their car next to the road and hide in a bomb shelter. which was unfortunately became a death trap. from the shelter, we managed to call my mother and he was terrified. my mother asked him what's going on, how is everything, are you okay? his only response was, mom, you don't want to know. and then the line went off, and that was the last thing we heard from him. >> i hear that song, and i've heard it from so many families just like you. we're in a waiting game, it seems, right now. you heard what president biden said in that clip we just played. when you hear that, what do you think? >> on one hand, it makes me feel hopeful, and know that everything will be okay, and on the other hand, we heard it's a few times before. so, until i see him at home, and all know that his father's back, i won't believe it. >> we're also talking about just the intensifying fighting in gaza, where you believe your brother is being held. what do you want to see happen with that operation? are you worried at all that this intense fighting might put him in more danger? >> i guess it's only human to worry, and to think about it. i'm trying to focus on the positive side, and hope that the army knows what they're doing, and i know that they want to get the hostages, so i am trying to stay on the positive note, and hope for the best. >> really quick, in washington today there was a massive, massive rally. in support of israel. when you see that, as an israeli, how do you feel? >> i think it's important that the world understand that it's not only israel against hamas. it's the world that should be against hamas, because it's not about politics, it's about good versus bad. hamas is evil, and they're committing crimes against humanity, and if we won't deal with it, it will happen again and again. and not just in israel. we need to tell them that they can't do what they're doing, and that they need to release all of the hostages. that's it. >> michael, thank you so much for joining us tonight. we wish you the very best, and hope for the return of your brother and all of the hostages. >> thank you so much. >> in gaza right now. coming up next for us as life and death plays out overseas, on capitol hill today, something totally different. schoolyard behavior. a near brawl breaking out between a senator and a witness, and a separate physical incidents involving an alleged elbow. plus, in the 2024 race, rivals on both sides of the aisle are pouncing on nikki haley tonight, over a promise that she made about your activity on social media. we'll discuss. >> the first rule of fight club is, don't talk about fight club, and definitely don't hit someone in front of a reporter. today, some lawmakers in congress decided simply to do things that would get most americans fired from their jobs. to the house first, in the case of alleged workplace violence. the reported culprit is kevin mccarthy, the former speaker of the house. he and republican tim burchett, have a beef, to put it lightly. it started when burchett voted to take away mccarthy's gavel, and it's only gotten worse from there. lingering, until hitting a point where mccarthy literally hit burchett. npr correspondent claudia -- was interviewing burchett in the hallway, when this happened. >> sorry kevin, didn't mean to. >> why did you elbow me in the back, kevin? hey kevin, do you have any guts? jerk. i saw there, and the reporters said it right there. your pathetic, man. you're so pathetic. what a jerk. you need security, kevin. >> it all just makes you feel like capitol hill hallways now need some chaperones. the recess gone awry dynamic continued when our manu raju caught up with burchett on the capitol steps. >> he is a bully with $17 million and a security detail. he is the type of guy that when you're a kid would throw a rock over the fence and run home and hide behind his mama's skirt. you don't expect that a guy that was at one time 3 steps away from the white house hits you with a sucker punch in the hallway. >> here's mccarthy's response, a denial. >> no, i did not elbow him. no, i would not elbow him. i would not hit him in the kidney. i did not run and hit the guy, i did not kidney punch him. >> okay, but just a few seconds later, mccarthy seemed to channel oj simpson, saying if i did it -- >> if i hit somebody, they would know i hit him. if i would punch him, he would know it. >> frankly, this is really grade school stuff. but i guess it doesn't end there. over in the senate, oklahoma's war marc wayne mullin tried to reboot his career as a martial artist brawler by challenging a witness to a throw down. >> quit the tough guy act at these senate hearings. you know where to find me. any place, anytime, cowboy. >> sir, this is a time, this is a place. you want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here. >> okay, that's fine. perfect. >> you want to do it right now? >> stand your butt up. >> you stand your butt up. >> no, sit down. you are a united states senator, sit down. sit down please. >> can i respond? >> hold it. no, i have the mic. sorry, you will have your time. >> okay. >> can i respond? >> no, you can't. this is a hearing. and god knows the american people have enough contempt for congress. >> i don't like you. >> there may not be fighting in the war room, but everybody apparently wants to fight in congress. and you know it's been a day when you can consider the profane relatively tame. marjorie taylor greene accusing republican colleague darrell issa of having no emojis and that seems downright blasé, when republicans say that they want to make america great again, we don't think it's nostalgia for 1856, when altercations in the capitoal were normal, like when preston brooks beat charles sumner unconscious with his cane. so how do we get past all of this? the new speaker suggests that everyone just take a little timeout. >> this will allow everybody to go home for a couple of days for thanksgiving, everybody cool off. this place is a pressure cooker, so i think everyone can come home, they can come back, reset. >> i want to bring in cnn political commentator as cheek up, and rolling stone columnist jay michaelsonl. esty, god forbid republicans or anybody in congress could work for a few weeks straight, they get so riled up they want to punch each other in the face. what is going on? especially with the republican party, this has been boiling for weeks. name-calling, the profanity, the elbowing. >> i put it at years, in fact. and let's juxtapose this with something else that happened today in a courtroom in san francisco, where david depop talked about being radicalized, watching far right youtube videos. those led him to conspiracy theories, and led him to go to nancy pelosi's house to attack her, instead he ended up attacking paul pelosi. that testimony today was grisly, graphic, and harrowing. but the culture of vengeance and punishments did not come overnight. it came because trump assured it in. and listen, politicians before trump, as you just said, were not always nice. they're not always angels, in fact there were times where there was actual violence in the capital. but trump came in and decided that vengeance and punishment was much more important than governing. republicans bought into that completely, and have decided that being identified by your enemies is much more important than by your friends. again, punishing more important than governing. all of this stuff has been happening for years to get us to a place where a senator feels like it's okay to challenge a witness to an actual fight during the hearing. or a former speaker of the house thinks it's okay to elbow or assault someone that he disagrees with. that doesn't happen overnight. >> yes, totally. and some of it is just performative. i mean, this is just about people getting attention, it seems. >> and yet this is the kind of attention that they seem to want. that's the surprising part, right? you think this would be, well, this guy is worried about how this is going to play out. no, they're thrilled. they're happy about it. it does feel like to me -- are men okay? >> are they? >> asks the man at the table. >> apparently not, i'm not representing them. but there does seem to be that trump as this hyper mark sullen, toxic masculine ideal. and he also mentions retribution, and threatens violence. about this thing of like, as a time of changing gender norms and changing conceptions of gender that there is this like reactionary old school masculinity thing, where i'm going to beat you up. i did a deep dive in the exchange between the teamsters leader and the senator, and there was this name-calling, and i sort of wish they would've had the real fight, which is about unions versus bosses. but instead, it's his playground version of masculinity. >> can i just talk about this mccarthy situation? because we've got burchett on the show several times, he alluded to this disparaging comments mccarthy made about his religion, and he said that this is the type of person that mccarthy is, he's a type of person that would elbow you. maybe there's something to that, that the level of distrust there made it impossible for mccarthy to actually leave. but why did things get so personal? and that's on both sides. i don't know who's telling the truth, but i trust the reporter who witnessed it. and witnessed this elbowing. why did things get so personal, again, not overnight. trump made everything personal, and all of the boundaries were crossed. that allowed people like marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz to come right into congress and make it personal again. marjorie taylor greene using really gross language that trump also used to describe her perceived enemies and detractors. this has been normalized. this environment was conditioned, intentionally, over time. again, this doesn't just manifest in congress in one day, these four examples of just nasty behavior. that doesn't happen in a vacuum or overnight. >> we didn't even talk about the previous episodes of name-calling that you would have to bleep out, even on this show. crazy. everyone stand by for us. nikki haley is now taking some heat in that 2024 race after she has vowed to ban anonymous postings on social media. she calls it a national security threat. we'll debate that, next. c'mon, we're right there. c'mon baby. it's the only we need. go, go, go, go! ah! touchdown baby! -touchdown! are your neighbors watching the same game? yeah, my 5g home internet delays the game a bit. but you get used to it. try these. they're noise cancelling earmuffs. i stole them from an airport. it's always something with you, man. great! solid! -greek salad? exactly! don't delay the game with verizon or t-mobile 5g home internet. catch it on the xfinity 10g network. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tonight, nikki haley wants to get rid of your burner account. the republican presidential candidate wants verified identity is attached to these social media accounts, she's going after the companies themselves and their algorithms. >> when i get into office, the first things we have to do, social media accounts, social media companies, they have to show america their algorithms. let us see why they're pushing what they're pushing. the second thing is every person on social media should be verified by their name, that's a national security threat. when you do that, all of a sudden people have to stand by what they say. and it gets rid of the russian bots, the iranian boats, and the chinese bots. >> back now with se cupp and jay. he invoked the then anonymous founding fathers, he says it will harm conservatives who fear being canceled, and then vivek ramaswamy also says that this is big tech censoring speech. what do you say? >> on the merits, as a lawyer, this is almost certainly unconstitutional for the government to compel this kind of speech. as politics, nikki haley, like all of these runners up to trump, is searching for something to run on, something to distinguish herself by, and i think this actually does this. i think it's a smart political move. there is a lot of anxiety among a lot of parents about social media, about what their kids are seeing. i don't think this proposal, whatever, will fly is an actual policy. >> it's not like a new concept. verification is something that people have posited to make social media less toxic. >> yes, and we've moved to this kind of strange tech libertarianism, where a lot of folks who are not normally this libertarian -- it's always a balance between civil liberties and then protecting the vulnerable. so example, hate speech which targets the vulnerable. we can attack that speech, even though that does restrict the free speech of someone else. here, we do seem to have kind of stopped talking about the fact that there are ways to establish verification. again, i'm not really behind this proposal, but i think as a move of politics, this is a smart territory for her to stake out. >> but among whom? because all i noticed was conservative pushback, as conservative as i understand it. whether it's thinking about thomas payne and alexander hamilton, and that cloak of anonymity, what they would've been treason, dissidents, victims of sexual assault and harassment, there are lots of good reasons to have your free speech protected by a cloak of anonymity. this would get rid of this. and then finally, it's just massively, blatantly and unconservative too decide that the best solution for a problem like the lack of civility is more government. i mean, i don't know who vetted this policy. here's the thing, i mean -- >> we all -- >> this feels like the ramaswamy and desantis pushback is about the kind of very online conservative base, the elon musk fans of the world, who think that conservatives are being extraordinarily oppressed online. even though there's actually a lot of evidence to the contrary. >> that certainly true. there are lots of kinds of conservatives. there are mom and apple pie conservatives, i'm so old, i can remember when conservatives wanted to censor a heavy metal records 1 million years ago. >> there were a lot of conservatives. >> there were plenty of social conservatives that said that this was promoting satanism, it was terrible music, it also happened in the 90s with hip-hop. that's not the conservative view, but that's one of many conservative views. and i think as a parent myself, i also am concerned about -- i don't think a big government censorship program is the way to address it, but i do have that concern. and i think in a race where there's a desperate attempt to find some way to distinguish yourself from donald trump, i think nikki haley is doing that. >> you're right. she might be going after moms, specifically women. suburban moms. >> she's really going to get a lot of pushback from both conservatives. >> interesting point on the battlefield here in the 2024 race. thank you both. and up next, a decision tonight on whether donald trump can remain on the battle in michigan. we'll speak with michigan secretary of state, next. the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> donald trump will be on the ballot next year, at least of the state of michigan, and at least for now. a judge there rejecting a challenge by activists and little groups to block him, citing first -- the 14th amendment insurrection clause. basically, arguing that his actions are on january 6th disqualify him from office again. and joining me now to discuss today's developments is secretary of state joscelyn benson. secretary benson, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> what is your reaction to today's ruling on this bid to keep trump off of the ballot? >> i was gratified that the judge reinforced our view of michigan law, which is clear, i don't have the authority to determine a candidate's eligibility, and the court went one step further and said not only am i responsible and obligated to put anyone on the primary ballot who under michigan law is a declared candidate, but also that the determination of any candidate's eligibility under the constitution is really a question that should come later in the process. and perhaps determined not by a court, but in the words of this court, look to congress or the electors to make that determination. >> yeah. i think a lot of advocacy groups are going to keep pushing on this. the group that brought this lawsuit said that they're going to file an immediate appeal. in fact, a lot of experts expect that other states who are facing similar challenges to diqualify trump from the ballot will find that these challenges will do the same. do you think that ultimately this ends up all the way to the supreme court, and if it does, how does that play out ahead of 2024? >> yes, so that question, the final arbiter in this decision is going to be the u.s. supreme court. however it gets there, we hope it gets there soon. but it's notable that the court cases have already been decided have also noted that perhaps it's too soon to be making these determinations in this primary phase. it may not be until after, if the former president trump gets the nomination of the republican party, then may be the appropriate time to bring this claim. today, also suggested maybe not then, but after he would be elected in the fall of next year, that would be the appropriate time to bring this qualification argument. so there is -- uncertainty as to timing, but at least there's clarity at least among the lower courts that the primary phase is a bit too soon to bring these charges. >> i'm sure you probably understand, some people are eager to figure out ways to get trump off the ballot. and that is what it is, but do you think they're barking up the wrong tree here? is this the wrong fight to be picking when it comes to trump? >> look, i think two things. one, the american people should decide who the president of the united states is going to be, and in my view, where there are questions of qualification, we should err towards the side of letting the voters choose. at the same time, these are very serious allegations the former president is facing. really unprecedented allegations that go against the very heart of our democracy. so i completely understand the importance of getting this right, and that's why it is important to look at the law to try to sort through existing precedent, to look this u.s. supreme court ultimately as the final arbiter on this decision, and to make this decision not for a political place, but from illegal and constitutional place. i think that's really where we're headed. >> one last thing before i let you go. there was a video obtained by abc news of former trump campaign lawyer jenna ellis speaking to georgia prosecutors, and revealing that a former aide to president trump told her that trump was quote, not going to leave the white house, despite losing multiple legal challenges. you and your state have really been at the heart of all of this election denialism. are you concerned that we could see a repeat of this kind of conduct next year, if he becomes the republican nominee? trump, not being willing to accept the results of the election, whatever they are? >> yes. in fact, that is part of daily conversations that i have with myself, my colleagues around the country and here in michigan. we have to be prepared for that. we've been enduring that same type of issue since 2020, and again, this is something that american voters need to think about seriously in casting their votes, both in the primary and in the general election. someone who's shown us already that they don't believe in the very principles of who we are in the country and our constitution, and has said so repeatedly, flagrantly. that's also something that the american voters should think about when they make the decisions throughout any election they participate in this year and next year. >> all right jocelyn benson, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> growing concerns among democrats about president biden 's reelection campaign. we'll speak with georgia senator raphael warnok about that, next. >> from dismal poll numbers to anxiety around his age, the concerns are growing among democrats over president biden 's reelection bid. and one state is key to his chances. >> i want to bring in senator raphael warnock of the state of georgia. senator warnock, thank you for joining us tonight. >> great to be here with you. >> so senator, just recently, a couple of days ago, cnn had a new poll showing that president biden is struggling right now. polls are polls, but he's struggling in these polls with some key democratic constituencies that he will need to win the presidency. but particularly, i want to ask you about what's happening with black voters. our poll suggests that right now trump is almost at two times the support that he had among black voters in 2020, according to those exit polls. is that a red flag for president biden? >> you know, we are a year out from the election. and there will be many polls between now and next year. i can tell you that when i have been with the president, and with the vice president, recently, at a gathering of the congressional black caucus, there were folks in the room where you couldn't contain the excitement and the energy. the same with the vice president when i was down at my alma mater. and so the polls will go up and down, but i think at the end of the day, the american people, african americans included, will have to ask themselves who's standing up for them, and the clear answer to that is joe biden. >> speaking of donald trump, there's a big trial in your home state of georgia. this trial is over his alleged role in an election interference scheme. the fulton county d. a., fani willis, said today that this trial may not conclude until early 2025. is that fair to voters in your state, and in the country, to have the fate of trump basically decided after the election? >> listen, i'm going to allow the judicial process to do what it does. i respect that process. i respect the d. a. of fulton county, she does her work. and i'm going to remain on the people of georgia, including the bill that i was talking about today on world diabetes day. >> speaking of exactly that, there's a lot going on on capitol hill, some of it not so good. but this is an example of bipartisanship, you and your colleague, senator john kenney, just released a bipartisan report today on insulin deserts. these are areas of high rates of uninsured people, and high rates of diabetes. more than 800 insulin deserts you say are across the country. what are you proposing here to address this issue? >> that's right. today on world diabetes day, i released a report with my partner in this effort, jon kennedy of louisiana, that focuses on what we are calling insulin deserts. this is where you see the tragic convergence of counties, some 800 of them across our country, where you have elevated rates of diabetes, and elevated rates of uninsured people. and so what we are seeing, and the question that we're asking ourselves, is, if we don't get something done, who were the people that are going to be left behind? and what we learned was that in these insulin deserts, which by the way, you see a high prevalence of in the south and the southeast, but you see them all across the country, from utah, to new jersey, to texas. these are folks who are likely to be uninsured, but not only uninsured, but below the poverty rate. they are likely not to have much education behind a high school career, no education beyond high school. and they don't have access to the internet, or very little access to the internet. so they're literally cut off, and what the report shows is that in spite of the progress that we made, i've talked about the fact that my insulin provision that we passed last year, or for folks on medicare, no more than $35 of out of pocket cost, the folks in the corporate sector have begun to put some caps in place. but they can rescind them at any time. and so we've got to pass this bipartisan legislation, that john kennedy and i have introduced. that will cap the cost of insulin for everybody who needs it. for insured people, and uninsured. >> john kennedy who you're mentioning there, is also a republican. but over in the house, there's a lot of rancor and disagreement among republicans. do you expect that this bill will be able to get through both houses of congress with bipartisan support? >> here's the thing about this legislation. there are some two dozen states that have already capped the cost of insulin. and many of them are red states. this is not a red and blue issue, it's not a partisan issue, it's a health issue. and that's why john kennedy is working with me on this, and in recent days, along the co-sponsors for this bill are josh hawley, j. d. vance, senator braun, we've got both senators from alabama, tuberville and -- there is a bipartisan path to getting this done, because all of us, especially in the south, are feeling the impact of unmanaged diabetes. we know the impact that this has not only on individuals, but on our overall health care system. one out of $4 in our health care system is spent on people with diabetes. it does not have to be unaffordable, and i'm hoping to get this across the finish line very soon. >> before i let you go, senator, there's some new political reporting this week on the voting rights oraganization. that's an organization that is now facing allegations of misuse and irregularities. you were a part of this organization for sometime. it's now conducting an internal probe into these claims, what do you make of the findings of this investigation from politico about potentially the misuse of funds? >> well, i left that organization several years ago, to run for the united states senate. i'm not aware of any misconduct. i wasn't aware of any then, and not aware of any now. we will see how and what comes of this. >> all right senator raphael warnock, thanks as always for joining us tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> and up next, the walk to change the course of american history. 63 years ago today, a little black girl walked into a school where she wore a dress, a sweater and a white bow in her
