welcome to the beat. i m ari melber. it s halloween. there s a ton of news. i was in for nicolle last hour. this is a new hour as we re awaiting announcement of state charges against the suspected attacker of speaker pelosi s san francisco home. we ll bring you that live when we get it. charges are hitting after a separate action from the justice department which has already charged david depape with assault and attempted kidnapping. there s new information on what may be the politics of this. i say may be because we have to follow the evidence and what the authorities say and the information is slowly coming into view. the suspect did say that the goal was to, quote, hold nance hostage, viewing her as the leader of the pack of lies told by the democratic party, and said that if nancy were to tell the truth, he would let her go, but if she lied, he was going to break her kneecaps. he said he would show other members of congress there are consequences to actions. the suspect
