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
elections 8 days away. it appears president biden is on the sidelines or in delaware. even some of the candidates in blue states are locked in tight races. control from the senate could come down to a few key match ups. president biden said the mid-term elections are the most important in our lifetime, he spent the weekend at home in delaware. he did go out to do early voting on saturday. there is are no competitive congressional races this cycle. his former boss barack obama is on the campaign trail and making commercials and came out swinging at the gop. i have to speak the truth, which is these days just about every republican politician seems obsessed with 2 things: let s own the libs. and getting donald trump s approval. that s their agenda. they are not interested in solving problems. they are interested in making you angry and finding somebody to blame. they are hoping that will distract you from the fact they don t have answers of their own. your vote will make a di
