00:08:07.440As Michigan Senator, I'll bring both parties together to lower your prices. That's job number
00:08:13.300one. And Abdul, he wants to hit Michigan families with a $3,000 tax increase, the biggest in history.
00:08:20.860I'm Mike Rogers, and I approve this message because I'll actually put dollars back in your
00:08:25.740pocket. Still, CNN reporting the bigger concern for some Democrats is whether El-Sayed has fully
00:08:31.020reunited the party after narrowly defeating the more moderate Congresswoman Haley Stevens in the
00:08:36.040August primary. One prominent state Democrat telling CNN voters are ready to oppose Republicans,
00:08:41.640but still need El-Sayed to give them a reason to vote for him. That same sentiment surfacing
00:08:46.100this week during an MS Now focus group of Michigan voters. One Democrat arguing the
00:08:50.220party would otherwise be positioned for extraordinary straight ticket support.
00:08:54.460I think this election, if Saeed wasn't on the ballot, you'd probably have the highest
00:08:58.920percentage of straight ticket Democratic votes in the state. Oh my gosh, yeah. I couldn't wait
00:09:03.360The Democrats are just, they're frothing at the gums to vote anything anti-Trump.
00:09:10.040CNN reporting some of the most serious concerns are coming from constituencies Democrats traditionally
00:09:14.720rely on. Black political leaders telling the network Al-Sayed still has work to do in their
00:09:18.760communities. One Detroit leader describing a conversation that left him with the impression
00:09:22.760Al-Sayed's campaign did not believe it had to work as hard for Black votes, saying Al-Sayed
00:09:27.360asked for his support, promised to invite him to a roundtable, and then never followed up.
00:09:31.420Black Democrats participating in that MSNOW discussion questioning whether Al-Sayed is
00:09:36.340simply assuming their support. I think there's some missed opportunities for him to help us
00:09:41.700know who he is, help us understand him. We don't know him. And I think he's taken advantage that
00:09:48.340we as Black people are Democratic and he thinks we're going to vote for him anyway. And I'm like,
00:09:54.000no sir, I might have to put uncommitted down on that little circle and move on.
00:09:58.140If you're going to Congress to represent me, I need you to talk about what's going on in this community.
00:10:03.780Al-Sayed facing a different challenge among some Jewish Democrats.
00:10:07.300Lansing Mayor Andy Schor, who backed Stevens in the primary,
00:10:10.480telling CNN he remains uncomfortable with Al-Sayed's rhetoric on Israel
00:10:13.840and will not support him until the two have a conversation.
00:10:17.300Al-Sayed has said Israel is committing genocide in Gaza,
00:10:20.440Schor saying he has yet to hear from the nominee, telling CNN,
00:10:23.080quote, if he doesn't need me, he doesn't need me.
00:10:25.400The private concern described by CNN matching what some Democratic voters are saying publicly.
00:10:30.940Emma's now speaking to Jewish Democrats in Michigan who said they want to support their party's nominee, but remain deeply uncomfortable doing so.
00:10:38.320You're committed Democrats. All of you. You want to vote for the Democratic candidate, but you just can't.
00:10:46.380What could he do, if anything, to get you over the edge? But it doesn't sound like there's really anything.
00:10:54.300the damage has already been done. I just would love for him to make a definitive statement.
00:10:59.400Like, just say, I would like everyone to know I support Israel. You know, I support the Jewish
00:11:06.980people. You know, their right to exist without hatred. Would you believe it? I don't know.
00:11:15.040Elsayed defending his outreach, telling CNN it would be impossible to spend enough time with
00:11:19.120every constituency that wants to hear from him, while insisting he has been showing up and
00:11:22.940listening. Now Democrats bringing in one of their biggest names to help in the closing stretch.
00:11:28.360Former President Barack Obama set to campaign alongside al-Sayed in Detroit on October 24th,
00:11:33.700the first day of early in-person voting in Michigan.
00:11:38.440Coming up, Krista Pike surviving Tennessee's failed execution and now awake in the hospital

00:12:03.340Make no mistake, if the House flips, it's a big deal for our economy. And it might be the Senate,
00:12:08.260too. That uncertainty is one of the reasons to consider diversifying with gold from Birch Gold
00:12:13.960group. In the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the spot price of gold

00:13:04.700Death Row inmate Krista Pike awake and speaking after surviving Tennessee's attempt to execute
00:13:10.260her last week, as her attorneys begin what they say could become a much larger legal fight over
00:13:14.780the failed execution. Pike regaining consciousness Tuesday, nearly a week after Tennessee executioners
00:13:20.700administered two doses of pentobarbital in an unsuccessful attempt to put her to death on
00:13:25.260September 30th. Pike sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old classmate Colleen
00:13:31.080Slemmer and had been set to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years.
00:13:37.400Her attorney is appearing in Nashville court yesterday,
00:13:40.180asking Chancellor Aisha Miles to order the Tennessee Department of Correction
00:13:43.700to preserve evidence from the execution attempt while they determine what legal action comes next.
00:13:48.880The state arguing a preservation order was unnecessary,
00:13:52.020Assistant Attorney General John Ayers saying the Department of Correction
00:13:55.180had already collected and logged evidence from the death chamber.
00:13:58.440The hearing also raising the question of whether Tennessee could eventually try to execute Pike again.
00:14:03.260Judge Miles asking the state whether it could assure the court Pike's execution would not be rescheduled.
00:14:09.140Ayers saying he could not, noting any new execution order would ultimately come from the Tennessee Supreme Court.
00:14:15.440Governor Bill Lee suspending Tennessee's remaining execution this year and ordering an independent review of what happened,
00:14:21.040while the state's corrections commissioner has announced his resignation.
00:14:25.200Judge Miles ultimately siding with Pike's attorneys,
00:14:27.320ordering the state to protect a broad range of physical and electronic evidence
00:14:31.260connected to the execution attempt, including medical supplies, recordings,
00:14:35.060communications, and other material from inside the death chamber.
00:14:38.680The judge also ordering Pike be given access to her attorneys
00:14:41.680comparable to what she would receive inside the women's prison
00:14:44.420after her lawyers complained the state was making hospital visits unnecessarily difficult.
00:14:49.360After the hearing, Pike attorney Randy Spivey giving the clearest update yet on Pike's condition.
00:14:54.020On Monday night, it was our understanding that Krista was brain dead and that life support would be removed the next day.
00:15:02.500But on Tuesday, to the shock of everyone, including me, including her team, and including the medical team, Krista woke up and began talking.
00:15:11.600I do not have an explanation for what happened between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
00:15:17.520But what we do know is that Krista has a long road to recovery.
00:15:21.140She has a blood clot in one of her arms. She has pneumonia. She is not able to swallow yet, so she has not eaten. She cannot move either of her arms. Both of her arms and hands are tremendously swollen, and we do not know what, if any, functions she will regain in her arms.
00:15:42.100Pike's legal team again calling on Governor Lee to commute her death sentence to life without parole,
00:15:47.280arguing it is now, quote, unimaginable the state would attempt to execute her again.
00:15:52.140Her attorneys saying yesterday's preservation motion is only the beginning of what they expect will be a long legal process.
00:16:00.060Army officials setting the date for the execution of former Army Major Nadal Hassan,
00:16:04.800who was convicted of carrying out the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting.
00:16:09.040In a memorandum, Acting Secretary Tal writing, quote,
00:16:11.640This execution will take place at Fort Hood, Texas, on Thursday, 3 December, 2026, 1300 Central Standard Time, by firing squad.
00:16:21.180President Trump approving the execution on Monday.
00:16:24.080Hassan, a psychiatrist and army major at the time, opening fire on troops lining up for immunizations at Fort Hood in November of 2009,
00:16:32.520killing a total of 13 people and wounding 32 others.
00:16:36.560In 2013, a military court sentencing Hassan to death after he told the judge he was defending Taliban leadership in Afghanistan.
00:16:43.860His execution will mark the first time the U.S. armed forces have put a service member to death since 1961.
00:16:49.800Meanwhile, Hassan's civilian attorney, John Galligan,
00:16:52.720raising questions regarding how the army notified his client that his execution has been approved.
00:16:57.660According to an exclusive report from independent journalist Catherine Herridge,
00:17:01.440Galligan, who has represented Hassan since 2009,
00:17:03.940says he was surprised the army moved so quickly following the failed execution of Krista Pike.
00:17:09.380Galligan telling Herridge Hassan was notified around 7 p.m. on Tuesday that the president had
00:17:14.080authorized his execution, but that no civilian, criminal, or trial defense service attorney was
00:17:18.820present, as army regulations require. Galligan also questioning why the army plans to transport
00:17:24.260Hassan, who's paralyzed from the waist down, from Fort Leavenworth in Kansas all the way to Fort
00:17:28.880hood in Texas, calling the move, quote, political theater. Hassan retains the option of putting off
00:17:34.360the execution by filing a habeas corpus appeal. It is unclear if he intends to do so.
