hello, and welcome to inside politics, i m john king in washington. thank you for sharing your day with us. a brutal beating, conspiracy fodder, and public denial. paul pelosi is still in the hospital this day. his attack now the subject of ridiculous internet theories, and most republicans bob and weave when you ask if their election and january 6th lies are fueling our toxic political climate. plus, eight days until your midterm verdict. three embattled house democrats in virginia and a new batch of polls show that tight, that s at understatement when it comes to the fight to control the senate. and a big question is the supreme court about to wipe out affirmative action in higher education? a first for us, the vicious attack on paul pelosi. this hour the husband of nancy pelosi is hospitalized recovering from surgery on his arm and to his skull. today charges for david depape who brutalized him with a hammer after breaking into his home. police brand this as a target
he didn t say the word hunter but he did shoehorn in what law school you might call a clever or creative way, he shoehorned the president s son into the hearing today and i didn t see the judge respond negatively although she certainly didn t endorse what he was arguing but he shoehorned it in legally by saying but donald trump has attacked hunter biden, how do we not know how do we not know, david, that those attacks on the president s son didn t create a chain of events where the president picked an ag who picked a special counsel who went after donald trump as a, quote, retaliatory measure. it takes a while to explain it as some internet theories do. your response, david? it s interesting because the judge is going to have to decide what to do with this. in order to have to get this motion going anywhere, he s going to have to let specific facts in order to get a hearing on it. because it s going to be very fact specific type of analysis
