fierce debate and prompted a state senator to speak out about her own personal experience with multiple miscarriages. take a listen. >> i have been pregnant ten times. i have seen what many of you in here called a heartbeat ten times, but i have only given birth twice. i have lost seven pregnancies at varying points in time before 20 weeks and one after five months. her name was juliette. i have laid on the cold examination table while a doctor desperately looked for a heartbeat. i have been escorted out the back door of my physician's office. so as not to upset the other pregnant women in the waiting area. my grief on full display and uncontainable. i have been on my knees time after time in prayer to my god about my losses. i have loved each and every single one of those potential lives and my husband and i have grieved each passing.
mass shootings by far top the list. when we were looking at the timing of when could we actually do this survey we thought, well, there was just the -- we did it last summer. there was just the buffalo shooting and then we looked at, well, what if we waited a couple weeks and would have run into highland park and chicago and this happens constantly in america. >> happens constantly in happen. juliette, carrie mentioned buffalo, that was a supermarket. this is a walmart. among the softer targets especially in the holiday season, employees going in and out, people going in and out and someone carrying a pistol, easy to conceal. >> yes, i mean, look, there is no society that you and i want to live in where you can be safe, right, because -- what would that mean? it means your experience going to the store or walking down the street would be so fortified it's not even worth it anymore so the idea that we can get -- that we can defend our way into
anti-lgbtq bills this year in state houses nationwide. joining me now is national security analyst julie kayyem and political commentators hillary rosen and scott jennings. i want to start with juliette as we set the stage here, you heard the district attorney say that they are still collecting evidence to figure out if this mass shooting can be charged and considered a hate crime. earlier today he said there is already some evidence pointing to that, let's take a look at that and we will talk about it. >> location is some of dense, the fact that these victims were in a specific location that is predominantly frequented by members of the lgbtq communities, that is evidence that we can use towards that decision of motivate crimes. we are looking for a rather evidence as well as that. >> so can you walk us through
it doesn't have all of the -- enrollees it wanted. i'm hearing that they are about 25% short. given all of that, this is a country which is in fact has some serious dangers now that are growing and this issue of linking violence to the way that votes are conducted, i think is one of the single most dangerous steps that any country has taken in recent years, especially here in the united states. >> and juliette, in recent days we've seen armed people at ballot boxes and so on in arizona. that sort of thing. do we face the prospect in this country of seeing more january 6 type situations, not necessarily in the nation's capitol, but at election headquarters in various municipalities and in states around the country. how do we get a handle on that? >> yeah. so we -- the fbi still hasn't solved the attacks onp dnc and
pelosi's ability to move. two weeks out we're concentrating on an attack of her husband, not on the midterm cycle, i can et cetera. protection has a purpose and we need to apply it to the threat environment. we all have been. >> juliette, no surprise when you find on this guy's social media stuff. it's textbook. >> it is. >> i mean, i'll put up stuff. mike lindell, the pillow salesman and just famous conspiracy theorist, this guy was tweeting videos produced by him and then all of this just conspiracy non-sense about january 6th, and so we've seen it time and again, there is a connection. >> yeah. >> why can't we figure out the connection before the violence happens? >> well, because there is a near t nurturing of this violence coming from leadership of the gop. the person who is likely to get the nominationcoming from leade gop. the person who is likely to get the nomination donald trump uses
the midterms, so are their families. federal officials are warning that domestic violent extremists pose a heightened threat to the midterms and beyond. let's bring in our cnn law enforcement analyst jonathan and cnn national security analyst juliette. great to have you guys in studio. they just had a press conference, the san francisco police department moments ago. here is what the chief said based on their latest information. l let's listen. >> we also know based on our investigation at this point that this was not a random act. this was intentional. and it's wrong. our elected officials are here to do the business of their cities, their counties, their states and this nation. their families don't sign up for this to be harmed and it is wrong. and everybody should be
interesting and then who else is picking up on that? i think the threat level for other federal officials is just it's got to remain high and protection for them at least until after the election. >> that leads us to their families. i was surprised to learn today that our top leaders' families don't get protection. >> it's stunning. it's stunning. to juliette's point, this is the number two person in line of presidential succession. the fact their house was broken into and no residential security, the fact that the husband was attacked physically, violently and is in the hospital. this is unacceptable full stop. we're not -- this is not a new threat environment we're living in. this is around for a long time. we're hearing warning after warning but not taking the right action. we're not applying the right control measures. >> what should we be doing? >> we need to be focussing on
disgusted about what happened this morning. >> juliette, we feared that things like this would happen. political -- i mean, they don't have a motive yet. there is still early days, obviously, but it looks and feels like political violence. >> where is nancy is your clue there. she's the second in line for the presidency and he were talking about this essentially if you think of it in those terms, it would be hard to deny this is a political attack. what we're finding on social media is confirming a narrative about someone who got radicalized through the fake election and the january 6th and all this stuff things were taken away from him. he may have mental health issues. >> it sounds like he has a long history of being unhinged. >> a lot of people have mental health issues but most do not do this. who or what noise was leading him there? i think that's going to be very
