request privacy at this time. my god. both prominent figures in the news. we do not know the motivation for this attack. we know nothing about the assailant just yet. this all just happened in the last few minutes. we re grateful that mr. pelosi seems, per the statement, like he s going to make a recovery. but certainly a terrible tragedy. we ll try to figure out more about the assailant and what caused this attack. mika, we don t have a motive. we ll be very cautious about that right now. but there is a suspect in custody so we ll learn that very quickly, it would seem, whether this was an act of street crime, a burglary or break-in or something worse remains to be seen. but, again, speaker pelosi s husband, paul pelosi, was beat on the point he had to be taken to the hospital. oh, my god. he is going to make a recovery. speaker pelosi was not there. this all taking place inside their home in san francisco. and obviously no connection we don t know what the mo
mentioned earlier in the show litigation in arizona. we re waiting on a judge. that s a lawsuit my firm brought on behalf of the alliance group, higher americans and vote latina, great organizations protecting voting. we ll wait on the judge, but we need to be prepared to fight against these suppression tactics in the courts but also in the court of public opinion. we need to make it unacceptable again for neighbors to try to disenfranchise neighbors and frankly for people to disenfranchise people they ve never met, they don t know, because they have been lied to by the republican party now for years about what s going on. so i really commend the work you guys do every day and amplify this, but it s incumbent on everyone in the media and in civic life to stand up in the town square and denounce this as not acceptable. marc elias, thank you very, very much. we appreciate your coming on the show today. thank you. and joining us now, the
you said, the hatred towards jews, the anti-semitism, the stoking violence. you re done. and anybody any brand or any corporation that ever does business with him again, shame on them. wow. okay. moving on to trick or treating, which is kind of a weird transition. brand up or brand down. brand down for trick or treating. because of inflation, this is really sobering. 52% of americans in the polls said they will not be giving candy this year. they just don t answer the door or say we re all out. 52% of americans have basically in a poll, have said, we are not giving candy this year, blaming it on inflation. good god. i know. i got very sad about that. i don t know if they re giving rocks vis-a-vis charlie brown. are you one of those people that turns the lights out and hides in the house? we have i m not going to give out my address on the air but we are robustly giving out candy. the next one is chick-fil-a, and if it s just joe talking,
first of all, they re not, you know, purely american issues, they re global issues, but in addition during the course of our last times, inflation will go up and will go down. gas prices will go up and go down. but once we lose the fundamental right to vote, we will never get it back again and it will impact every other area of our lives for not just the people of the state of michigan but for all americans. so people have to get out and vote like their democracy depends upon it, because it literally does. michigan attorney general dana nessel, thank you very much for coming on the show this morning. and there are still 11 days from the midterms now, and there have already been 100 lawsuits filed. that s the most before an election in u.s. history. more on that. and plus the cdc issues a new warning over the flu. why health officials say getting the yearly vaccine right now is
kevin mccarthy as closely as win in washington, d.c., but watch to see what they do. when donald trump tested the outcome of 2020, he was largely an island by himself. but my fear is that if a herschel walker or a dr. oz lose by some margin, you will see mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy jump into that fray and bring the institutional taps of their conferences and the washington republican elite in with them, and that will make a new stage in the erosion of democracy. marc, the other threat, of course, the idea of voter intimidation. in arizona, these groups are watching the polls to keep them safe and some voters say that s making me feel unsafe. i don t want to go. what steps, whether i would s your group or others, can be done to safeguard that part of this increasingly fragile process for americans simply to be able to cast a ballot? yeah. so, we re actually you
