Transcripts For CNN CNN This Morning 20241001

Theres no question and that the Hezbollah Today is not the hezbollah was even just a week ago ramping up attacks, israel launching new strikes in lebanon overnight, had killing Hezbollahs Leader a vp showdown. Tim Walz And J. D. Vance, the final day of preparation before what could be the last debate of this election devastating thing ive ever seen her of destruction. Hurricane helenes rather leaving behind devastated communities across six states washington. Heres a live look at Capitol Hill good morning, everyone. Im Manu Raju in for kasie hunt. Its great to be with israel expanding its attacks on iran backed militant groups overnight, the israeli Air Force striking hezbollah targets in southern lebanon. And for the first time since the war broke out last october, airstrikes in the heart of beirut earlier this morning and this just days after israel strikes killed Hezbollahs Leader Hassan Nasrallah Airstrike killing a Hamas Leader in lebanon and in yemen. Israeli forces attacked houthi targets. All three militant groups, hamas, hezbollah, and the houthis are backed by iran. And now a us official telling cnn that the biden administration Fears Iran is planning a retaliatory attack why does national Security Spokesman John Kirby Warning of just that over the weekend the rhetoric certainly suggests theyre going to try to do something. I mean, just coming out of tehran, but we dont really know. Were watching this very, very closely to see how if and how hezbollah and or iran and may react as well as the Militia Groups in iraq and syria, we have to be prepared for some sort of response. We have to make sure that we are ready and we we are we believe we have the Force Capability we need in the region now President Biden also weighing in on the escalating tensions in the region, telling reporters this, when asked if its possible to avoid an allout war what youve already taken precautions relative to our embassies and personnel will want to leave yet, but were working like hell with the french and many others i joining me now to break this all down, retired Air Force colonel cedric leighton, colonel, thanks for being here this morning early morning, but very obviously consequential weekend. Indeed. So theres this concern about what in iran attack might look like. What are the implications of that . How much concern is there right now about a retaliatory strike . Well, theres certainly a great deal of Concern Mono because what youre seeing is iran has in essence two choices. It can do nothing or it can do something. And in this particular case, if they do nothing, then therell be seen as being weak. If they do something, they risk actually losing that effort. Itll be kind of like what happened in april when they send over 300 missiles and drones against israel. And it was really singularly ineffective when it came to breaching israeli Air And Missile defenses. They couldnt do it. Of course, with us and Ally Id Help but it was still clear that there are very great limits to irans military power. And they really dont have the capability to do what israel did to hezbollah. They cant do that to israel. So President Biden and the Prime Minister netanyahu, them very much have not been on the same page on a number of things as it comes to prosecuting the war in gaza. And now on this, what do you think the conversations are like right now between the u. S. And israel. So clearly pretty tense, i would say, especially at the upper levels. The key thing to keep in mind is that israel has basically deliberately kept the u. S. Uninformed when he came to the details so if theyre operations so the conversations are going to be on the one side, the u. S. Is trying to restrain the israelis. Theyre trying to limit the scope of Military Action that the israelis are conducting. While the israelis are looking at this from a military standpoint, right now, and theyre seeing the capability and the possibility of going. And basically eliminating hezbollah as a threat to northern israel and potentially as a threat at all. And theyre also going to try to strike at all of the different proxies, all the different iranian proxies that are there. And that includes the houthis in yemen where they did the Aerial Strike against the port of hudaydah. And theyre also going in and theyre going to really look at this from me. What can we do now and get away with so that we can secure israel in basically in its entirety. And the key thing for them is to get those people that are living. Were living in northern israel, get those people back to their homes. Thats a political imperative for netanyahu. And hes going to do that as well as the military imperative. So theres obviously a big debate here in this country to about what should happen next. President biden, calling for a ceasefire, republicans are on a much different page least some of them Senator Tom Cotton from over the weekend, made clear that he believes the president is going in the wrong direction. Now is not the time for a ceasefire or to deescalate as Joe Biden, Kamala Harris want hezbollah is on its knees. United states should help israel Drive Hezbollah to the mat and choke it out and finish it off once and for all what would what would that look like . Guard colonel, the United States should help drive israel, drive out Hezbollah Cotton says, and choke it out, and finish it off. Once. And for all, is that realistic . And what would that mean in terms of us involvement . So if we did that exactly as Senator Cotton says, what youd end up having is us involvement too. Really high degree. I what hes talking about in terms of the ideology at least is impossible to do. The Hezbollah Ideology is going to stay no matter, no matter how many has hezbollah fighters are eliminated, no matter how much damage is done to their infrastructure. And thats been considerable. The israelis have done a, from a military standpoint, it really incredible job when it comes to getting rid of the Leadership Tier of hezbollah. But for us to get involved the way Senator Cotton seems to suggest is really going to be very problematic because what it does is it limits our ability to deal with the arab nations. It limits our ability to help Leverage Hostage negotiations. And it also makes it very clear were to the iranians that we are not going to be able to deal with them as well. The iranians were trying to open up a bit to us. And if we do this kind of thing as Cerner Cotton suggests, thats going to make the iranian card impossible for us to play so much to digest obviously, this is as glaring, colonel. Thank you so much for coming in, sharing your expertise really appreciate it. Thank you for this coming in this morning. You bet mano. Thank you.

An this is cnn day away from the first and only debate between Vice President ial candidates, tim Walz And J. D. Vance, and new polling from the New York times showing that the race for the White House continues to be incredibly tight in two key states. In wisconsin, harris up by two points over trump michigan, harris is up by just one point, but both of those leads are well within the margin of error, meaning there is no clear leader. Now, michigan has also where walz is preparing for tomorrows debate. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg standing in as his republican rival in mock debate sessions. And during a break this weekend, walz visited a nearby farm and had this update going thank you. Now, walz may be projecting confidence there, but our sources say the Minnesota Governor actually maybe feeling a bit nervous ahead of what will be the biggest moment yet of his political career. Aides and other staff are telling cnns Isaac Dovere That Walz seems worried about letting Vice President harris down and fury because he wont make his case as well as he wants to. Now, vance did not mention his opponent over the weekend, but Congressman Tom Emmer was standing in as walz for vances team, said this he played this character for several years have been kind of a folksy egg, friendly outdoorsman. Hes not wellliked because once you get dealt, the real Tim Walz, hes like Gavin Newsom in a Flannel Shirt joining me now to talk about all of this catherine lucey, white House Reporter for the Wall Street Journal catherine. Good morning. Bright and early. Okay. So youre hearing this setup to this debate . Vice president ial debates are always gamechanging, dont really move the dow, but this ones a little bit different that this is the last word that either campaign may have on the national stage, given that it could be the last debate, could this be different than other debates . I mean broadly these dont tend to move the ball. These are vp candidates, not president ial candidates. This is also such a close race that its not clear what would move the ball, but that said because there currently is no president ial debate planned after this, that this could be the last we hear directly from either Campaign Yeah could, it move a few of few voters . And in this race, i mean, the polling is so tight that any small nudge could matter. What do you think has the most to lose because of vance has come out, his unfavorability numbers have really increased as it came on the national scene. But walz has really not been out there, right . The campaign is not used. Him on the airwaves. The way he was before he was a candidate . Yes, hes campaigning, but hes not on Tv Making the case to voters. Yeah. Walz has been out doing retail. We have not seen as much of him doing interviews and tv that said though i think probably Fans House more to lose here. I mean, the wide interpretation was that harris did better in the first debate. So that trump folks are looking to try and make up some ground here. If he can land some punches, thats significant for them as this could be the final, the final and ill exchange. Yeah. I mean, walz, what do you think the biggest issue for walz is . Because hes going to go after his military service, his progressive record. What are you hearing about how walz is preparing to respond to some of these attacks on the wall site. They want to really keep focusing on harris message. They want to talk about the economy want to talk about the policy issues. And i think he is really trying to present himself as this folksy midwestern voice, someone who has a background hunting, who has had a rural background. I think theyre really trying to still introduce him, right. And upsell, who he is and connect him with and of voters, theyre trying to appeal to it a more thing before we wrap, i do want to ask you about what some of the Headtohead Polling that we saw over the weekend, latino voters in particular, this is obviously critical segment of the electorate right now this new poll that came out from Nbc News shows harris up by 14 points with latino voters doing better with female latino voters than many male latino voters. But this is the issue for her, not as high as way Hillary Clinton was back in 2016 according to Exit Polling. And were Joe Biden was with 65 overall according to Exit Polling in 2020, how much of a concern is that shes moving . Perhaps democrats say in the right direction, but still perhaps not enough. And so the Swing States like nevada or georgia, where it could matter, know, this is a concern. She has definitely improved on Bidens Polling from the summsummer, but she has not got back to the numbers where biden where Biden Wasnt 20 or clinton was and you saw her out this weekend . She was out on the west coast. She was she was in nevada for a rally. She theyre trying to make a case to those voters. But it could potentially set up a situation where if, if some of those voters are harder to get that her path remains more likely to go through the Blue Wall states. Yeah, thats so interesting did say much well paths, maybe well one side will have so close in older exactly. It could be a blowout or it could go down to the absolute wire. We shall see catherine lucey. Thanks for joining me this morning. Really appreciate it. And dont forget. You can watch tim Walz And J. D. Vance first face off in their Vp Debate hosted by cbs news.

Were talking about measuring rain in feet, especially up in the higher elevations here from asheville up towards boone. These counties here got widespread more than ten inches of rain. Again, totals in feet, one community in North Carolina got 30 inches of rain. Hendersonville, 21 inches. Grandfather mountain, 15 inches of rain.

Were looking at Beirut Lebanon right there on your according i well get to that story in just a moment. Or the bombings that happened overnight, but good morning, everyone. Im going to roger, im in for kasie hunt. Its great To Be With You Donald Trump is now attacking his opponent in the race with a different line with gui several times over the weekend at two separate rallies, he was talking about immigration when he then launched into this personal Attack Kamala is mentally impaired. Joe biden became mentally impaired kamala was born that way. Have you think about it only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country. Theres something wrong with kamala and i just dont know what it is, but there is definitely something missing and you know what everybody knows it harris did not directly respond to that latest attack, but did say this ever talking about trumps stance on immigration we need a president who cares more about solving problems than playing political games joining me now to talk about all of this is Daniel Strauss to cnns national political reporter, daniel. Good morning. Morning being here this early morning okay. So does this line of attack were i mean, trump is not going to back off his republicans will say focus on policy, focused on the issues, but we heard him say this time and again this weekend, he clearly thinks this is effective, effective. Yeah. I mean, look, as you said, a lot of republicans dont think this is effective, but theres not much they can do to pressure him otherwise. And also one thing i think thats important here is that this is trump only a few weeks out from an election testdriving a new sort of Attack Strategy or lying. And one that his allies, his supporters, and elected republican leaders in congress and across the country warn that could have some sort so negative effect on his electoral chances. So at the same time though, trump himself seems to think that this is something that he can repeat. And well have some kind of benefit in the Swing States that hes campanian, right . Yeah. I mean, this is how jb pritzker, who is at the Illinois Governor harris surrogate how he responded to this issue of namecalling they have nothing on their side to talk about. Thats good for everyday americans, for working families. Thats why theyre just named calling. That is what this is all about you heard Donald Trump talk about mental impairment yesterday. I think whenever but he says things like that. Hes talking about himself but trying to project it onto others. Now, we have not heard of harris respond, i guess the question i have for you is that whats been interesting is that the attacks that harris has waged on trump rallies on the airways, i should say there have not been as many, would tax that trump has launched on harris, in fact, has been almost all negative that trump along the airways as launched on Harris Harris has translated to be more positive message to sell herself strategically negative, kept at works strategically, is that the right choice at this point in the campaign, right . And the Harris Campaign Strategy is pretty clear, which is that they need to introduce herself. They see that they can pick up the required votes. They need to win this election, not by bashing trump, but by introducing her and winning over voters who say poll after poll, that, they dont know enough about her to support her right now. Thats really the biggest issue, right . Right. Now. I mean, she you look at polls right now. People dont. The reason why trump is not doing as well in some of these states because hes got the same issue. People dont trust him, maybe like maybe even think he hes hes not honest and the like. But on some of the issues like the economy, like on immigration, shes underwater would trump on those issues. How does she reverse them . I mean, look, again, this is what the Harris Campaign feels that they do, that they need to do, they need to address an introduce harris on specific issues like the economy, like border security, thats why were hearing harris and her allies talk a bit more about immigration and the border right now. And same with the economy at the same time though look, if you are supporting trump at this point, youre probably not going to move no matter what. This isnt an election thats going to be decided by that small slice of voters who say they have not made a firm choice on who they want to vote for yet. And this is probably one reason why harris is trying to go trump into debating. Again, g pull off deposit that she did when that first Debate Trump is that hes not going to debate. Again, this is the ad that the Harris Campaign cut about calling on him trump to debate again from a challenge champions know its any time, any place, but losers, they whine and waffle and take their ball home. Well donald, i do hope youll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage. If you have something to say why during the georgia, Alabama Game on saturday night, so clearly trying to reach out to those Georgia Voters what impact will that have a Vance And Walz last ones on the national stage for either campaign making their case on tuesday, which seems like its the only debate thats loved. Hear that depends. I mean, look, this is this too, is a debate where most americans dont know who the two participants are and historically, debates rarely buoy or really launch a candidate to new heights in a president ial election. But it does do no harm. It does sometimes stanch the bleeding. And so for the for the harriswalz team, what theyre trying to do is just stay the course, have a solid debate reinforce their narrative against Trump And Vance now, for Trump And Vance the incentive here is to really flip the script a little bit and go on offense a bit more on policy, on some kind of topic in this debate that can stick not only for walz, but also for trump himself. Yeah, i always just say it will be so much to digest. Tuesday and beyond Daniel Strauss. Thank you for coming on this morning. Really appreciate it is still the calm after the break, Hurricane Helene slamming into floridas Big Bend region, devastating parts of the Southeast Weve never seen this before, and i know that we dont really truly know the numbers of the loss of life here now communities facing the question of how to read Bill Plus the ravens vs the bills, it was thought to be a potential afc championship preview.

Your labor is more than just a Book Color Scan for your the writers guide, 800, 4, 5, 518 to seven started rising very rapidly we saw it coming up the street and just didnt really think that it would get this far this high, but it just kept going so fast is really scary a catastrophic storm, helene leaving at least 95 people dead, including 30 or more in hardhit asheville, North Carolina days unforgiving, flooding, Submerging Roadways and countless homes. Thousands stranded without basic necessities and no State Resources coming anytime soon. I mean, its pretty scary you dont expect it we werent really prepared. I thought it was going to run for a while and thats about it. And then power went out started to flood, almost got into our house i mean its really bad. And theres a lot of people that are that are passed away. And so thats really bad historic flooding from helene washing out a large section of Interstate 40 connecting western North Carolina and eastern tennessee. It no word when that highway will reopen and take a look at the devastation. Keaton beach of northwest florida, 20 feet of Storm Surge destroying homes, boats and cars, Search And Rescue crews are still checking houses for victims joining me now, is laura is anderson is a former senior official at fema. Lars. Thank you so much for joining me. On this morning you spent several years at fema dealing with these natural disasters. Where does this rank put this in perspective . Visit viewers. This is unprecedented in terms of the amount of flooding, the amount of devastation if you think about but hurricanes and vulnerabilities, people often think of cities on the coast, think of charleston, think of new orleans. This is asheville, North Carolina. You dont think of hurricane flooding, devastation coming into the central parts of state. So this is really unprecedented in the swath of states. The number of states that have gotten major Emergency Declarations its a major declaration from the u. S. Government is huge. Its going to be billions and billions of dollars. Yeah. No question about it. This is how the North Carolina governor Roy Cooper discussed the Recovery Efforts that are ongoing in his state the biggest problem is getting to them because more than 200 at roads are closed many counties and areas where people are Land Block Cell phones, and Internet Service is down so we know there are a lot of families and friends that are worried about people and there have been about 1,000 requests for that doubt to 11 to report. If you are looking for someone so if youre in this emergency response, ive ever an official if youre in a Fema Official what kind of challenges that given what the governor is laying its a huge challenge. I think i think what people are trying to do right now is its still an active Search And Rescue. We have 26 different federal Search And Rescue teams. Federal teams that have been deployed throughout the region. People are still, still looking for folks still trying to connect. This is a whole of government response. Do you have folks in the Department Of Energy that fcc trying to set a mobile Cell Phone Units Department of energy, and trying to restore power. You have the Army Corps of engineers that are helping to clear roads, clear debris, sits a whole of Wholeofgovernment Response and its just going to take, its going to take time, these things take time. I mean, first thing of course is finally missing absolute right, which is why the Search And Rescue or are actively deployed. And then how long does it take for a place like asheville to rebuild to be was three months. It could be years. It turns on the level of damage it depends on, you know and as people are responding, as people are rebuilding, you have to think about mitigation. This can happen again, we have to start thinking of ways to mitigate future risk, whether that is more natural resources elevating structures, thinking about resiliency and building back better is the way to go. We cant just build back the way we did before so how much does this cost . Billions of what do you think in terms of a Price Tag . I have no i have no idea. I think we really have to see what what the damage looks like at the end. I think youre probably looking at a supplemental congressional supplemental to help fund some of these things. But its going to be in the billions of dollars. I would assume is the biggest need right now. The biggest need is getting to the pupil that are still, still missing, making sure that people have adequate shelter or adequate food, adequate water, making sure that supplies for infants are there. Thats the biggest thats the biggest senate right now, we need to make sure that people were those that are survivors are okay. That theyre getting the help that they need. And thats thats the biggest focus right now. And the biggest challenge and accomplishing that, what is the biggest challenge and accomplishing what you just laid out, the biggest challenge is getting to them, finding them you know, fema, how many people are we talking about what that would need to finally find these people in terms of response, there are 50,000 people deployed from ultimate sorts of agencies and volunteer agencies deployed in the states right now, looking, looking to set up and help, help people get recovery, helped people get shelter, help people get food. Thats happening right now. I think the biggest thing is getting in there, getting the debris removed, getting communities connected, and really finding people because i think a lot of folks theres a lot of missing folks right now, but a lot of those folks are probably around. They just have no way to communicate with them right now. So getting those cell networks backup, getting that Internet Connectivity back up, and getting people to be able to communicate as one way to do it . Or are they in your view authorities effectively doing the best they can in this situation . I think i think i think look, this is very difficult situation. Know it expected all this flooding in the mountains of North Carolina, but i think the federal government is responding as the best they can who such a devastating situation and we really hoping pray that folks are found and that things can get back to some semblance of normalcy. Lars anderson, we really appreciate your Expertise And Insight breaking the south lawn. Thank you for coming in. Appreciate it. All right. Now, were going to turn to sports. The baltimore ravens. They ran wild, handing the Buffalo Bills first loss of the season under the Sunday Night lives Carolyn Manno has more in this mornings Bleacher Reports i know youre not going to talk about the Chicago Bears.

Monitoring last Nights Game was hyped as a pre you as a potential afc championship game. But this one really ended up a very onesided affair and it happen that way right from the beginning of this Game Ravens running back derek, can you was off and running from the first time he touched the ball, henry taking off his firsthand off at seven yards to the house to give baltimore early lead and they never looked back. That is the longest Touchdown Run in franchise history. He finished with 209 total yards and two touchdowns while quarterback mark jackson, the leagues reigning mvp, ending up with three scores of his own. Baltimores defense stepping up as well, shutting down the bills high highpowered offense, limiting Quarterback Josh Josh Allen to only 180 yards passing. So the ravens win in a 3510 blocks to improve to two and two of Buffalo Falls to three and one those are great team we have also Gregg Great Game and guesses and i agree that its easy tonight to share exchange did not have an easy time against the chargers. The chiefs does themselves in early ten Point Hold for rallying to win 17 to ten. Patrick mahomes throwing for 245 yards and a touchdown in his 100th regular season start.

Lets turn to baseball now the Playoff Fates of three teams hanging in the balance as the braves will host this meds in the doubleheader later today, they were originally set to play last week before the series was postponed by Hurricane Helene pleading that you were just talking about manu. So the winner of Game One will clinch a playoff berth. Thats the easy part. What happens next gets a little bit more complicated. If the mets can sweep the diamondbacks will slip in as six seed in the playoffs. It is the same scenario of the braves win both games, but if the team split the doubleheader, the mets and the braves both get in an arizona will end up on the outside looking in.
