Next phase. Israel moves troops into lebanon despite calls from the White House for a diplomatic resolution plus a Running Mates showdown, tim Walz And Jd vances first and only Debate Tonight in what may be the last time the campaigns Face Off On Stage . If you think too much about the beautiful chimney, right village that i remember from last week. Its hard to handle grappling with helene. Hundreds reported missing and recovery operations underway as devastated communities are trying to rebuild plus a milestone birthday, Jimmy Carter becomes the first us president to reach the century mark. Youre going to take a look back at his time on the public stage. All right. 6 00 a. M. Here on the east coast. A live look at Capitol Hill on this tuesday morning. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us breaking overnight. Israel into Southern Lebanon and the israeli military undertaking what it calls a limited Ground Operation Targeting hezbollah in and around villages along the border reporting that israeli attacks have caused quotes severe damage in the south as far north as beiruts several explosions this morning in the southern suburbs considered a hezbollah stronghold. Hezbollah has responding Firing Artillery and rockets into northern and central israel, at least two people reported injured in those areas. The israeli government characterizing this moment as the next phase in their war against the militant group. This latest escalation coming despite an intense effort by the biden administration in recent weeks to reach it a ceasefire deal. Heres President Biden, just a few hours before israel announced its operation that israel may be now launching a limited operation into lebanon. Are you aware of that . Are you comfortable with their plan . Im more aware than you might know, and im comfortable with them stopping we should have a ceasefire now this offensive is just the latest instance of israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly defying President Biden on numerous, numerous occasions in the last few months, the israeli leader has chosen not to inform the united states before taking actions that were certain to affect american efforts at diplomacy see in the region that was the case in april when israel struck an iranian diplomatic compound in damascus. And again last week when israel used american Bunker Buster bombs to kill hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah all of this further straining the relationship between Biden And Netanyahu these are two guys have known Each Other for 40 years. Jake in they have never and i suspect they will never agree on every single aspect of Foreign Policy and what were trying to get done in the Middle East. But they do agree on the big thing and the big thing is the Safety And Security of the state of israel and, you know, trying to avoid an allout war that would put the people of israel at even greater risk. They agree on that right . Our panels here to discuss Isaac Dovere, cnn senior reporter, elliott williams, cnn legal analyst, former federal prosecutor, doug jones as the former democratic senator from alabama. And mike dubke, former trump White House communications director. Welcome to all of you. Thank you all for being here. Senator, i want to start with you just because you are you have a personal relationship with President Biden. You heard what he said there. His his tone a little bit risharp honestly, in a way that he hasnt always been as this war has unfolded. What did you make of what he said here and what kind of position is is the president in as israel moves forward here . Well, i think its a tough position. Obviously, he does not want to see this conflict escalate the way it seems to be escalating right now, i think hes done a lot to try to tone that down and try to get a ceasefire. Weve had you know, weve had our diplomats over there, all of the time trying to negotiators, ceasefires. And it is a difficult situation. So he isnt really difficult spot. He does sincerely want to protect the state of israel but also think hes got some serious disagreements with the Way Netanyahu has handled this war over the last year. But particularly now as they step it up because, you know, what, what youve got to keep an eye on is he ran looking over this so so shoulder of hezbollah right now, and that is, thats what everybody i think is concerned about. So speaking of iran, i also want to show everyone this was what the israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had to say in the last day or so, looking at are ron talking to the people of iran . In a somewhat certainly eyebrow raising way. Lets watch he wants times. Dont care about your future. But you do what do you, ron is finally free and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think everything will be different. Are two ancient peoples, the jewish people and the persian people will finally be at peace senator, i mean, he says that the moment when iran is gonna be free might come a lot sooner than people stink. Is he talking about Regime Change . What do you hear there . You know, you hear what you can read into that a lot of different things right now. You know, look, iran has been unstable. There has been, theres a lot of opposition to the government in iran that has been going on for a long time i think what were seeing now is israel trying to step that up to create that clearly that was a message to people to say help yourself a little bit. Whether that means something greater militarily. I dont know, but it is certainly something that folks have got to keep an eye on isaac lets talk a little bit about the politics of all of this because its obviously an issue that has dominated a lot of domestic political conversation here. Its been obviously much more focused on the war in gaza. But i think you can see that political influence and how President Biden was talking just there. And obviously Kamala Harris is trying to figure out how to thread this needle herself. I mean, it seems hard to argue that the death of Hassan Nasrallah, who is a terrorist who has much, much blood on his, so much blood on his hands is a bad thing. But at the same time, there does seem to be some uncertainty among democrats on this. I look and think about where weve been over the last year, its six days shorter the anniversary of october 7, a year ago. Right now, Joe Biden and people in his administration in thought we were headed toward a possible multilateral Peace Deal with Saudi Arabia and towards a twostate solution. This is a war that has gone on longer than any War Israel has ever been involved in. It has torn the democratic party apart. And then it seems like there has been some mending of that from where things were in the spring, Kamala Harris has clearly the tried to put herself forward as someone who has a slightly different view of this than Joe Biden, while also saying she actually has the same view as Joe Biden, right and its a matter of tone. And what you say, its in talking to people who are part of the uncommitted movement in michigan what they have said is they feel better about Kamala Harris and they did about Joe Biden i say anybody thats married will say matters remains has not been a different place and they feel nonetheless like shes taking a fresh if you this, that if she were president , that it would be fresh. Now, i do think its also just its not just about the democratic party. Youre talking about nasrallah. We are three days now since he was killed, we have heard from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and about it, we still have not heard from Donald Trump, even a mark of this was a good thing, which is what the bidenharris statements were. So this is not just an internal democratic party, i think should look, i i mean, i dont know this qualifies as an October Surprise because this has been going on, but we have strife politics, we have stormed politics and we have striked politics. Were not talking about here is its not just lebanon. Now, israel is in a threefront rwanda. They fired missiles into yemen so youve scott this this international crisis that biden is trying to handle. But harris has to answer for and thats where were at right now. All right. Weve got a ton more to talk about today. So Coming Up next on cnn this morning, a polarizing abortion in a critical southern Battleground State is struck down, but putting the spotlight back on reproductive rights, how old . Ruling impact voters at the Ballot Box in november, plus, its Debate Night in america, j. D.

That was a look at Vice President ial Debate Past and tonight, governor tim Walz And Senator j. D. Vance will each get their own chance to create such a memorable moment in a Vice President ial debate. Walz has been hunkered down in michigan for the past several days. Justice anywhere in michigan, petoskey, michigan, fabulous place. I highly recommended for several days top aides and advisers preparing for tonight, although some of those advisers tell our Isaac Dovere that the Minnesota Governor may be feeling some nerves in the lead up to Tonights Showdown. I think this is Expectation Setting governor, what do you want voters to learn about story . Walz, his opponent in the debate. Now in New York, he, j. D. Vance arrived on monday, hasnt talked publicly about Tonights Showdown much in recent appearances but his Running Mate has certainly shared plenty of thoughts i think jds going to do grade is a very smart guy, has done a great job. People like him a lot. Hes going up against a moron, a total more on how she picked him as unbelievable. And i think its a big factor theres something wrong with it, guy. Hes sick so isaac trump is apparently not gotten the memo from his Campaign Official that hes supposed to say that hes the expectations are supposed to be well, you know, his spokesman is out there saying Tim Walz is really great at debating. Obviously there, harris people are telling you that well, he is nervous. Remember he told us he was bad at this when we picked him and that was he said it in the interview with harris that Running Mate interview in august, is that look, just so you know, im a bad debater. Now, you may look at that and say this is a guy who has been governor for six years, isnt the house for 12 years before that is teacher is professional politician at this point, but he is really, its not just Expectation Settings from what i have reported here. He has really caught up in making sure that he makes this case. He makes it for Kamala Harris. He doesnt want let Kamala Harris down. Hes thinking about what is my Resting Phase Look like when im not answered . Well how i, smile at the interests of all these think about it on national televised debate, right . First Thing Anyone ever told me when i started getting to fix that but its also the answers. Right. And he also very much feels like Donald Trump should not be proud president again, and he has to make sure to make that not happen. But he said in an at a fundraiser in New York last week, he was asked Hows Debate prep going in someone in the room told me that he said, listen, you know, when youre a teacher were trained to answer the question, we train our students to answer the question thats not what this is in fact, the advice well, he is the then he than he actually has learned that lesson because in every interview that ive seen, hes never answered the question. And thats what vance needs to make him do. I hope vance follows up when walz is going down some Lane Opposite of what he was asked the question thats for me, thats what vance is. Job is. And then the second thing is vance can overreach. He has a tendency to maybe go a little too far. Hes got to pull it back back, be a little bit more restrained. And then i think well see some success we have work to do on the childless cat Ladies Situation yeah i mean, thats some point. Dont bring it up anymore, or if they keep talking about her, youre going to play that clip but the broader question of Expectation Setting around Tim Walz, if you remember right at the time he rolled out that the narrative was oh, he cant speak off the teleprompter. He cant do it. He doesnt know. And he actually did quite well when doing so its all about lowering the expectations. You know, its funny. These debates are largely about just managing, not having that viral moment we saw admiral james stockdale there and we all have to snl, which we were talking about the brake skewered him. You forget the admiral james stockdale was a War Hero and a decorated Navy Vet who had been a prisoner of war. But the one thing people remember is that one line and the goal for both of these Candidates Tonight is just avoid that happening, right . Last word well, its not a debate. Lets just be candid. None of these are debates in the traditional sense of the word there just a series of answers and youre going to answer what you want to do. You know, look, i think Tim Walz needs to be Tim Walz. I agree. Dont you know, hes going to hes going to say what he wants to say. I think j. D. Vance is the one that may go down these Rabbit Holes with things that he said. He said some crazy stuff. But, you know, he came to springfield, ohio. I know. But but Tim Walz nice to talk about where he is in this race, what theyre doing. Id stay away from the childless cat. Ladies, stay away from springfield. Those are going to come out anyway, talk about what theyre going to do for america and the hope and the joy that Tim Walz lets brings. I talk about my Mole Football Team that walked out on that stage at the dnc. That was a moment, folks, i got to tell you home and spoke to a lot of people across this country. All right. You can watch tim Walz And Jd vances first Face Off in their Vp Debate hosted by Cbs News Tonight at 9 00 p. M. Eastern right here on cnn. And ill be heading to you or to do some of our pre debate coverage. Dont miss it straight ahead here on cnn this morning, we continue to bring you the latest on the devastation across the southeast and the destruction left behind by Hurricane Helene plus new this morning, Tens Of Thousands of Dock Workers go on strike.

Com we will no longer allow the decisions to be made about our bodies without our input. So today, this is a Step In and further fight. But we are not going to take this as just this huge success a judge, in georgia ruling that the states sixweek Abortion Ban is unconstitutional move paves the way for expanded access to abortion services in that state but it might be temporary as the state is already said, it plans to appeal the decision. The ruling puts the spotlight back on the fight over Abortion Access in a Battleground State just 35 days before Election Day. This was Kamala Harris campaigning on the issue just last month In Atlanta this is a health care crisis. And Donald Trump is the architect of this crisis. If he is elected again as president , Donald Trump will go further Donald Trump has tried to downplay the importance of Abortion Access on the rail i think that abortion is become much less of an issue. Its a very i think its actually going to be a very small nation. I think the Abortion Issue its been taken down many notches. I dont think its i dont think its a big factor anymore really likely hoping thats the case for democratic Senator Doug jones of alabama is still with us senator. You heard both of them there and trump obviously trying to say this isnt going to be a big deal. But of course we also learn turned about the deaths, preventable deaths of two Women In Georgia who were struggling to get the care that they needed and were affected by this law. What is how is how does this, is this going to matter . Well, i think you nailed it. You said it just going to put the spotlight back on issue. We tend to ebb and flow with the issues a president okay this is the one true thats been throughout the out this but again, the spotlight has been dam its been bright, its going to be bright again and remember, weve got, you got, you know, referendums on the ballot in nevada and texts in florida those are going to drive turnout. And i think in georgia this is going to certainly drive turnout. It reminds fans, people what is at stake. It reminds women across the country, not just in georgia, but it reminds women across the country whats at stake. It reminds men who have daughters and wives and families whats at stake in this election. So i think thats a very, very big decision at just the right time for Kamala Harris. There was a Senate Candidate in ohio, bernie moreno, who said that it was crazy, quote, unquote for women to vote on the single issue. And then he wondered why women over 50 who he seemed to be suggesting, well, you cant have children. Why do you care . That this issue, what impact do comments like that, you know, i think you go back in history and i think comments like that show on sensitivity. It shows that theyre out of touch with the electorate. Theyre out of touch with how people view themselves as individual. It didnt matter, you know, my mom passed away. She was 92yearsold last december. She would have been so offended at that. Now, she had long long, long since passed was well over 15. She she had a daughter. Shes got a daughterinlaw. Shes got granddaughters and or had granddaughter and so i just think its so offensive to people that if youre not personally affected, then you dont then you just dont have a reason to care. Thats not true. Thats not really who we are in america. We should care about every not just our own self. And i think thats a real problem that a lot of these republicans candidates have these day. We were talking earlier in the show with ron brownstein, who is looking at how Donald Trump is trying to appeal to some women. And what trump has been doing on the trail is by saying that he will protect women. Let me just show you that clip where he says hell be Peoples Protector thought women likes me i never thought i had keeps saying women dont like me. I dont believe that i am your protector. I want to be your protectors. President. I have to be your protector. I hope you dont make too much of it. I hope the fake news as a goal, he wants to be their protector. Well, i am as president , i have to be a protector. I mean, obviously were playing what he said on a rally here on this show. But what do you make of that message you know, look, its the kind of thing that got him in trouble. I think that there is you know, hundreds of billions of dollars in judgments against him based on that kind of i am your protector. I am i am the person women like me, women loved want to cause im a star and i think youve seen that j. D. Vance has adopted that same kind of paternalistic attitude. And, you know, look, there are, there are probably im sure folks in this country that can relate to that who see that both men and women. But i dont think in Todays World that that is something that youre looking for. In a president that is that paternalistic, that is basically, i think demeaning the abilities of so many women across this country, both in their personal and professional lives those are the kind of things i think that people are going to really pay attention to. And its going to affect races down the ballot very interesting, great Senator Doug jones will be back with our panel. Okay. Sounds good. Still ahead here on cnn this morning, the Death Toll from Hurricane Helene sadly continues to rise ahead. How State Governments are responding . And how the disaster is impacting the race for the White House plus, were just hours away from what is potentially the last biggest debate in this campaign, Trump Campaign senior Adviser Jason Miller joins prince us with his thoughts on what well see Tonight Isnt this isnt sure i want to add mr.

The community is reeling after the powerful storm washed out large parts of the citys infrastructure, making it even more difficult for crews to reach residents with vital supplies mules are now helping to deliver food, water, and diapers to those remote mountainous these rivers recede, we are seeing just piles peoples houses that were destroyed, buildings that were destroyed, cars overturned trash, and debris. I mean, it reminds me country now where they had to go Door To door and look in each vehicle at mark whether or not anyone was in it alright. Lets get to our meteorologist, derek Van Dam. Derek the devastation. Just unimaginable and of course so many questions about preparation and what these communities are going to do. Now yeah. And i think this also reminded the public that these hurricanes that we often forecast days in advance or not just a coastal storm, look at the impacts over 500 miles away directly related to a hurricane, how do you even compartmentalize coming back to a scene like this . I mean, this is chimney rock, North Carolina, and its also a reminder to people that in our new warmer, warmer world, were experiencing these more frequent Heavy Rain events for every two Degrees Fahrenheit of warming that our world goes through and undertakes we have 8 more Water Vapor in the atmosphere. That means that we have the ability to hold more moisture, the ability to create these more frequent and more extreme Heavy Rain events, just like we saw now there are still some tropical moisture residual, residual moisture from helene that is still in the atmosphere and the rivers there are still flooding in crusting across downstream South Carolina as that water makes its way towards the east coast, you can almost follow the track of destruction with 1. 5 million customers without Power Left in helenes wake. Now, we need to focus on the gulf of mexico. Again, this is troubling news but the latest Computer Models have simmer down on the potential development, but i do want to talk about this area here, potentially over the next seven days, there was a 40 chance of development once again, in the same area, kasie, im sure, not welcome news for folks, right. Its such a hard time, of course, recovering from what theyve already seen. Derek Van Dam for us this morning. Derek, thank you. And as Disaster Recovery efforts continue to unfold across the southeast, Hurricane Helenes aftermath is also of course, playing out on the president ial Campaign Trail monday afternoon, Donald Trump visited valdosta, georgia, where Storm Cleanup is underway while there he seemed to suggest president its an biden, isnt responding to the storm the governor is doing a very good job. Hes having a hard time getting the president on the phone, i guess theyre not theyre not being responsive. The federal government is not hey, respond to what theyre having a very hard time getting the getting the president or the Body Wont get on it. Of course, the Vice President , shes out someplace please campaigning, looking for money. So thats monday, right . Those claims appear to be false because georgias republican governor, Brian Kemp says he has spoken with the president about federal aid the president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed him and called him right back and he just said, hey, what do you need and i told him we we got what we need. Well work through the federal process. He offered that if theres now that things that we need just to call him directly, which i appreciate that so of course, again, trumps in georgia on monday saying the Governor Cant get the president on the phone. The governor on monday says he got a call from the president the previous day. He missed the call. But then he called him right back. President biden was asked about trumps claims during a Press Briefing in the Oval Office hes lying and the governor told him he was lying the governor told me hes lying. I spoken to the governor spending time with him and he told me his line, i dont know why he does this and the reason i get so angry about i dont care about what he says about me i care what he what he communicates people that are in me implies that were not doing everything possible we are all right. Our panel is back here. Mike dubke. I mean, this is a situation where the focus needs to be on the people who are recovering from this horrible storm from us as reporters who are looking at it from everyone else, President Trump seemed to make it about himself here and his criticisms of President Biden why is he doing . And what impact does this have . What i mean, weve seen Storm Politics affect president ial races are always seems to be a big hurricane just before a president ial election. Over. It is, it is Hurricane Season. It is Hurricane Season and wed seen different different styles of politics here where its, its helped the incumbent president and where its hurt the incumbent because then we can talk about sandy. We can talk about katrina and all of that. I think, you know, look, trump was on the ground. I fully expect that harris was on the ground in georgia, and i fully expect that with two Battleground States of georgia and North Carolina, that Vice President harris will be there its going to be a bit of a struggle figuring out so they sent harris, do they send biden because of the Storm Politics . So i appreciate the question, but i think both both, both political parties in both candidates are going to look to say, i could do a better job with response. And thats ultimately what you saw from former President Trump. And it puts them all in, like to pick up your point but ill situation, you know, were all Baseball Fans at this table and often when they take a picture out of a game, this sportscaster will say, he cant win it, but he can lose it. And the scenario here is one in which a candidate can maybe get the Brownie Points of showing showing competence in a time of stress, but also really can lose an election by appearing all the things youre saying, mike, whether its not carrying insensitive to political, not political enough, not, not empathetic enough. And its a world of very unpredictable. But it is it Donald Trump was in georgia. He did he did Biden Or Harris because this is all this sort of theater of it. What matters is what theyre doing and where the responses and it is i think this week all the things weve been talking about its a reminder of what this job that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are running for actually has its managing a war in the Middle East potentially certainly what this is a war so far they could get bigger. Its dealing with flood responses. Its dealing with the port strike. Its that kind of stuff. And then we can let ourselves be distracted sometimes by the theater of but it really, i dont think it mattered at all for trump to be there for the actual response to the storm. It wont really matter at all. If Biden Or Harris goes for what it will do to the storm, its just do they look like theyre carrying do they look like theyre in charge different focus on comment was such a problem. Thats because the words did not match the right we should focus on the other didnt go during katrina in that he got he got dinged for a couple of things like his his approval was starting to go down at that point that people werent sort of done with him. And this was 2005 theres a couple of things. First of all, you dont need the president , you need any the Vice President dont need people coming into a Disaster Area right now, it is disruptive i have lived through those things and i and it is incredibly disruptive and they know that the other thing i would say is that i know Joe Biden. Joe biden is going to do the best job he can for the people regardless, these are all Red States generally, i know georgia is in play in North Carolina may be in play. I think it is, but the fact of the matter is he is representing all people he is going to do his best. But if there is anybody, that has played politics with whether it is Donald Trump, you can only remember Sharpie Gate when he kind of read did the Hurricane Map and i think its just wrong and i think while people like to see their leaders doing some things, they want to see action. They want to see things that are happening it is difficult in this particular situation. Youve got destruction for, as i said, 500 miles, this is not like just farmers. This is really, really very difficult to try to get disaster across the board. But speed matters, speed matters. And this is where there could be a hit on the Bidenharris Admin and a situation if they dont get Relief Aid . No, not them. But Relief Aid to these devastated areas fast enough. And we were sending it in by mule know because we have to because we have to ration.

Com today but i read that a poll found that one quarter of americans have never even heard of j. D. Vance or Tim Walz now, a lot of people dont know these candidates, which might explain this debate promo, check this out Tomorrow Night. Dont miss the epic showdown between this guy and other died. One believed stuff, while other believes opposite stuff first grew up in place, while second who up in elsewhere versus him also as well, lighting, Board Job one, stage two guys, nine viewers all right. So nights Vice President ial debate is a key opportunity for tim Walz And J. D. Vance to reintroduce themselves to millions of viewers, despite balance take there, who may not know very much about these two midwesterners chosen by Kamala Harris and Donald Trump to be their respective Running Mates, while walz is reportedly a bit nervous heading into Tonights Showdown, the Trump Campaign made clear during a Press Call Yesterday that they are not underestimating Walzs Debate Ability walz was very good in debates. I want to repeat that. Tim walz is very good in debates, really good hes been a politician for nearly 20 years. Hell be very well prepared for Tomorrow Night hes not going to be the wildly gesticulating a feminist caricature. Are we see it rallies pointing to come late harris and dancing about on the stage all right. Joining us now is the man that you just heard there. Trump campaign senior Adviser Jason Miller. Jason, good morning im glad to have you on the program. Good morning so that was your evaluation of Tim Walzs skills on the Debate Stage . It differs remarkably from that of your boss Donald Trump, who had this to say about Tim Walz. Watch looking for the Sound Bite of Donald Trump on Fox Nation on monday, where hes talking about Tim Walz, Are Jays where the bidding of a technical Glitch Watch hes going up against a moron. A total more on how she picked him as unbelievable. And i think its a big factor theres something wrong with it, guy. Hes sick. He went into the michigan gave the other day you got booed out. I went into the Alabama Game the 120,000 people went crazy so jason is Tim Walz a moron, well, two things can be true at the same time here. Again, the Tim Walz that we see on the Campaign Trail as hes bouncing around and dancing and pointing the Kamala Harris and looking kind of goofy is not the Tim Walz that shows up in debates. And kasie, i will tell you ive watched more Debate Footage of tim Walz And Anyone should ever be forced to do. But heres the thing. Hes been in office for two decades. J. D. Vance has been official office for two years, but Tim Walz has been in office for two decades. Hes good. He was in congress. He is in his second term as governor of the state of minnesota when he shows up in hits that stage, hes done so planned. Hes onpoint. Any lies through his teeth and thats the thing that most people who are getting in tonight or many of the people i should say will not have watched Tim Walz bouncing around on the campaign stage. What they will see is Tonight Theyll see Tim Walz for the first time and he will come across a very much an off shucks minutes soda persona. But what hes going to have an issue is how does he defend his record . How does he defend Kamala Harriss record . And to be honest, he has to defend Joe Bidens record as well. What do you think that someone who is a moron can be good on the Debate Stage, i guess. I guess thats the part im tripping on. Well, no, its a good two things can be true here because Tim Walz, when you see the issue is that facts are his kryptonite when he starts getting pressed on the actual issues, how does he go and defend . The Inflation Record of Kamala Harris . How does he defend Kamala Harris following 20 Million illegals into the country . Thats where i see. I think youll start to see it come unraveling a little bit for Tim Walz. But on the Debate Stage, its almost like a muscle memory. Its like getting back in the gym if you havent been in a while, he knows exactly what to do on that stage. Hes well programmed because this has been his life for the past two decades. So with all due respect to my boss trust me, when he gets the Debate Stage, Tim Walz is going to be good and j. D. Vance, i think is going to do very well also, but do not underestimate Tim Walz it can be much better than people think. Well, ill just say that were engaging in some good oldfashioned Expectation Setting, which is a classic campaign tactic. Jason, but lets move on. Youve been in Debate Prep with j. D. Vance youve been the main sort of trump team member. Thats been involved in that you mentioned facts. You said they would be Tim Walzs kryptonite. The facts around whats been going on in springfield, ohio, and the things that j. D. Vance have had to say about that. Sure. To come up on the Debate Stage tonight the facts have been but the officials and springfield have repeatedly told vance that the things that hes been saying not true, what are we going to hear from Vance Tonight on that issue . On the stage . Well, i think Senator Vance are going to use this as an opportunity to talk about the migrant crisis thats impacting america and the fact that under Kamala Harris, every single community around the country has been turned into a Border Community springfield, ohio is a small town i believe there are approximately earliest before the influx of migrants, both legal and illegal. There are about 60,000 other, about 80,000 people or so in the town. And whats happened is that many of these folks who have come, were illegal. Theyre granted tps, temporary protected status by biden Kamala Harris and thats created this over well, mean surge on whether it be schools, whether it be hospitals, we see from the hospital, theres things, outbreak such as tuberculosis, even an hiv increase. A lot of things, a really taxing the services law enforcement, migrant crime is out of control. But its not just springfield, ohio, casey, you look at sharla roy, pennsylvania. You look at prayer. Do sheen in wisconsin, these communities that are thousands of miles away from the southern border are now them selves, Border Communities . And Thats Something that has to change. And again, its not just legal migrants coming in. Its mainly illegal migrants and also what Kamala Harris on with tps, i think has to be reversed well, look, lets just be clear that that that program was not initially created under the Bidenharris Administration . Thats thats simply not but but specific, but specific to whats happening with haiti and with haitians, that was something that Kamala Harris did jason before i let you go, i do want to follow up on something we heard from you on that that Press Call where youve referred to Tim Walz as a feminist that stuck out to me. Why, why did you use that term . I mean you look at the, way that Tim Walz dances around on the stage thats just the way that it struck me. And so that was my characterization and thats Tim Walzs twice that hes kinda goofy, bounces around. He doesnt look like bouncing or not. I mean, It Feminine has a lot of specific connotations to it. Well, goofy and bouncing around. Its not someone who comes across is this alpha male, someone who is a killer thats going to come out there and be sharp on the Debate Stage. But thats what were going to see tonight with Tim Walz. Again, not to say that Jd Vances are going to show up and do very well. But Tim Walz will be an absolute killer. Hes not going to be this goofy caricature of himself. We normally see when hes on stage and doing the weird Pointing Thing to Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is good. I would say the advantage definitely goes to him since hes been doing this for song. Let me tell you where j. D. Vance, though, is going to excel, where hes going to axels when hes talking about his humble upbringings, as well as his Military Service also, Nobody Defense President Trumps record on building a great economy and securing our border, border better than j. D. Vance. Thats where i think the matchups going to be j. D. Vance did say race at a recent appearance that he didnt think that Kamala Harris is background, had any bearing on whether she could fight inflation why will he say his Background Matter . Theres firstyear. Well, j. D. Vance, i think as someone who has been impacted by a tough economy, someone who grew up in very humble circumstances, he tells a story about knowing what its like to have to grow up and not sure if you can have a heat turned on that evening, raise largely by his grandmother, also someone who spent time in the private sector in business. So he understands the economy i dont think he understands what we have to do. And also their thing too is i dont think you have to be a ph. D. To know that what Kamala Harris did with those two votes to increase spending it radical levels launched inflation. Thats what it was. It was cutting off the energy with their Executive Orders and then also with those votes in favor of record spending. Thats what did it. I i still i mean, if shes going to talk about her middleClass Upbringing as relevance and hes going to talk about his lower class working Class Upbringing as relevant. I fail to see why they dont both matter in the contract that youve given us, but were out of time. Jason miller, thank you very much for coming on today. I really appreciate it. Thanks, kasie. All right. 57 minutes past the hour. Heres your morning roundup. New overnight, nearly 50,000 Dock Workers from maine to texas are now on strike. Workers hit the Picket Line shortly after Midnight Strike the cause serious disruption to the flow of goods and almost all ports from maine to texas major league baseballs alltime Hit King has died. Pete rose, best known for his grit and his hustle in his 24 Season Career 18 of those years spent with the Cincinnati Reds but of course a Gambling Scandal and his refusal to own up and up to it cost him a spot in the hall of fame. Charlie hustle was 83yearsold new York Governor Kathy Hochul weighing in on the federal charges surrounding their eric adams. She said in a private phone call, he needs to clean house however, shes not ask adams to resign. Instead, she makes clear that adams needs to work on regaining the trust of new York Residents now, i will leave you with this today. President Jimmy Carter turns 100 under president , i want to ask you to help me next Hes Burst of president to reach triple digits. Carter was sworn in as the 39th President Of The United States in 1977 during his first and only term, he created the Department Of Energy and education, as well as fema maybe knows most notably, he oversaw the Camp David accords a historic Peace Agreement between Egypt And Israel were privileged to witness tonight a significant achievement in the cause of peace after leaving office, carter dedicated the rest of his life to helping others. Since 1984, carter and his wife rosalyn, donated a week of his time each year to Habitat For Humanity hard working on predictable adventurous challenging but always gratifying. Weve never had, never been on a Habitat Project they we didnt get more out of it. Then we put into it but when asked what he considered his biggest accomplishment, he said this well, the best thing i ever was marrying roselyne that does a Feather Color of my life so happy. 100th birthday. Mr. President. Senator jones, 100 years. I mean, what a legacy he has. Hes been in hospice for a year yeah. No, its its really remarkable and i think, you know, People Today forget a lot about Jimmy Carter from the 1960s and the 1970s when he really was one of the first southern governors to really talk about racial relations and ending discrimination people forget about his views on the environment and Climate Fema right now, were seeing what happened fema was, was started because Jimmy Carter saw what the federal government could do to help peop
