Transcripts For CNN CNN This Morning Weekend 20241007

Morning at nine Sunday Morning to you, im victor blackwell. Im amara walker. We start with Breaking News out of The Middle East this morning, tensions are high across the region with growing fears of a wider conflict. New video for you this morning, shot overnight from a beirut suburb. Cnn crews, there i have reported near constant blast around the city overnight into this morning. And israel says it targeted hezbollah Weapons Facilities and issued new evacuation but just for parts of beiruts suggesting that more strikes could be on the way. But as paula has continued to launch rockets into israel and Israels Military says about 30 projectiles were fired into israel this morning. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has struck a defiant tone and then message late saturday seven fronts. Against the enemies of civilization for defending ourselves against this barbarism. Israel is defending civilizations against those who seek to impose a dark age of fanaticism on All Of Us rest assured israel will fight until the battle is won. For our sick and for the sake of the Peace And Security of the entire world in gaza, Israels Military has reportedly surrounded the Jabalya Refugee Camp there idf says that its detected hamas operatives trying to read field operational capabilities. This as an overnight airstrike on a mosque in gaza, reportedly left 21 dead. Cnn has reporters across the region Ben Wedeman is in beirut. Jeremy diamond is in Tel Aviv, and former State Department middle east negotiator, Aaron David Miller is also standing by. Right. Lets start with Jeremy Diamond and Tel Aviv. Jeremy, tell us more about what were seeing in gaza 7 anniversary, the Israeli Military is stepping up its operations in gaza once again, for the fourth time over the course of the last year, these really military now beginning to carry out another major offensive in Northern Gaza in the Jabalya Refugee Camp after it says that hamas off militants have begun to regroup there, it is just the latest instance of the really military being forced to go back into areas that it had previously carried out an offensive in which it said it had cleared. But then hamas rebuild speaking of course, two major questions about israels longterm strategy in gaza and the lack of an alternative Hamas Governance inside the Gaza Strip overnight, the Israeli Military striking more than a dozen targets in jabalya from the air, as well as from artillery strikes to prepare the ground for israeli infantry troops to move in as it is doing so, it is also once again forcing the placements of thousands of palestinians living in Northern Gaza. Hundreds have already begun to flee the area of jabalya expressing concerns about what they will find in these humanitarian zones which have been struck themselves as they head to those areas. But these really military has actually now issued Evacuation Orders for the majority of the northern part of the Gaza Strip, where Hundreds Of Thousands of people are currently believed to be living. And so major impacts to this. And just another reminder that as we are now approaching this one Year Anniversary of the October 7 massacre, a year of the war in gaza, the fighting in gaza very much still continuing hamas while it may have been defeated as a Military Structure as the Israeli Military has said, very much still fighting as a Guerrilla Force as the qassam brigades, hamass Military Wing saying that they are engaged in fierce fighting with israeli troops in Northern Gaza. As all of this is happening. Of course, the Israeli Military is also stepping up its Mission Military Offensive in lebanon where Ground Troops are also now engaged there as well issuing adal Evacuation Orders for lebanese villages in southern lebanon, raising questions about how much more that operation will expand. And in addition to that, of course, were still waiting for the israeli retaliation for that barrage of ballistic missiles fired by iran earlier this week, the israeli government vowing it will retaliate, but we dont yet know when or how severe that retaliation will be Jeremy Diamond. Thank you. Ben wedeman is in beirut. Ben, what have you seen overnight . Well overnight we saw victor more than 30 israeli airstrikes on the southern suburbs of beirut. And in fact, in just the last few minutes, yet another strike we were hearing that israeli drones overhead, which mitch normally prestaged is a possible israeli strikes. So basically every hour since the morning, there has been a strike on the southern suburbs now, normally israel gives a warning of strikes coming, basically Evacuation Orders for specific buildings and as ai said before they hIt At least 30 times overnight. But we only saw seven specific warnings. So these airstrikes continue certainly last night was probably the most intense so far. Now, theres still speculation about the whereabouts of Hashem Safieddine, who was one of the senior hezbollah leaders expected perhaps to be the successor to Hassan Nasrallah, but he the israeli say he was targeted in an airstrike several days ago. A lebanese Security Source tells cnn that hezbollah has lost contact with Hashem Safieddine. So theres still a very many questions at the moment about who is actually leading that organization. Now, jeremy touched on new israeli Evacuation Orders for southern lebanese villages. We counted 25 villages in that new order at this point. The number of villages that have been ordered to evacuate by the israelis is around 100 135. And this is definitely getting very reminiscent of how israel orders of population out of an area in anticipation or ahead of a military operation. And certainly what weve seen until now is that they havent gone into very deep into lebanon because were seeing, of course his bullet is actually putting up a fight its forces are adept at Guerrilla Warfare. There. They were not really ready for a year of exchanges missiles and israeli airstrikes. But where are they excel, is that Guerrilla Warfare and it does appear that the israeli operation in the south is being impacted. Perhaps even delayed in terms of its magnitude by hezbollahs fighters victor amara, Ben Wedeman for us in beirut. Thank you. Lets get some analysis now from former State Department middle east peace negotiator, Aaron David Miller. Aaron. Good morning to you why are we seeing this escalation . From Israels Military activity in lebanon and also stepped up operations in Gaza Thanks for having me, amara, look, i think these israelis have made a strategic decision that the last several weeks have decimated hezbollahs cams its Intelligence Debt Work assassinated its leaders and now theyre following up. I suspect in an effort incrementally to be sure. Right now to push what remains of the radwan forces hizballahs Elite Forces north Litani River and to destroy its much Military Infrastructure as they possibly can and, this front though . The key is how to secure longterm gains, which is their ultimate goal to return to 60 to 70,000 israelis have been relocated, dislocated from their villages communities, and keep the team in the north of the country so this is not going to be a short, short conflict im right. Its going to endure yeah. I mean, we heard from Netanyahu Yesterday saying that israels fighting a quote seven front war, you have extensive experience in the mideast is there an offramp . Should we even be talking about that right now as it seems like things are just getting worse right now a year after October 7, year after the hamas terror surge, a year after israels efforts to prosecute its war against hamas and the deaths of thousands of innocent palestinians and a humanitarian catastrophe i think its safe to, safe to say that of the three basic fronts out of the seven that present the real strategic challenge israel, gaza, israel, is bowen, of course, the beginning of what are its Military Correspondent described as the first . Iranian israeli war . None of these conflicts show any promise right now, a deescalation, none of them show any sense that there could be transformative diplomatic outcomes that would leave this pocket of The Middle East more stable, more prosperous . And more secure. So again, i think frankly a year in, i never would have believed it. The situation might actually get worse before it gets worse. And speaking of which the region is also bracing for retaliation from israel towards iran after those ballistic missiles were launched, this past week we heard from President Biden warning israel, dont target oil facilities or nuclear facilities, but do you think netanyahu is listening . Does it influence his calculus in any way look i think the first round and the israelis are going to respond. It was 180 plus ballistic missiles, which impacted over urban Areas North of Tel Aviv and an effort to strike military Basis And Mossad headquarters is really just going to respond. The question is, do they go for limited strikes against military facilities, the irgc, iranian revolutionary Guard Corps Command and control, the ballistic launchers, Missile Depots that for above aboveground production facilities factories, or do they broaden to economic and nuclear sites . Im thinking this round because this is not going to be the end. The iranians are going to respond if they do respond to the initial israeli strike, then i think the Target Set that the israelis have in mind will be broader which could include export oil, exporting facilities. And of course, key nuclear sites what about the support that hezbollah has not been able to contact one of their senior officials, Hashem Safieddine, after an israeli airstrike. Hes believed to be the successor to Hassan Nasrallah how debilitating has this been for the organization . Because it really seems like israel its going to be playing whackamole when it comes to getting rid of Hezbollahs Leadership i mean, the main difference between this Israel Hezbollah Conflict or want in the summer of 2006 israeli intention the israeli intelligence here is incredibly deep i mean, theyve identified and are continuing to identify the movement of key hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine my understanding is the hezbollah did not want to formerly validate his appointment as a successor precisely because they thought the israelis would go after him. And now, now thats what theyve done so again, i think thats the difference in this round. Its intelligence and its demonstrating were the terrifying ferocity, the capacity of the israelis to strike. Unfortunately, there are too many civilian casualties as they go after these hezbollah leaders. But i suspect thats going to continue an effort to decimate the organization prevented from recreated itself with any serious sense of command and control. But as Ben Wedeman pointed out, is both his strength here may actually be in an Insurgency And Guerrilla tactics. And thats what the israelis are going to face as they push farther north. In lebanon Aaron David Miller, appreciate having you this morning.

Im Alayna Treene in butler, pennsylvania, and this is cnn day and the Trump And Harris campaigns are zeroing in on, of course, key Battleground States early Inperson Voting begins this week and a number of states including the battleground of arizona, that is where Vice President harris is expected to campaign later this week the Vice President is also taking her message to voters in a major media you blitz this week, in addition to the previously announced 60 Minutes Interview, she will make appearances on the howard Stern Show, The View and the call her daddy podcast. First time i heard of that this morning is the number one podcast for women. Number one podcasts and women of the country now, the Media Blitz follows a trip by harris in North Carolina Yesterday to see Hurricane Relief efforts. She met with volunteers at a primary Care Facility and helped him pack essentials for hurricane victims. She also thanked members of the Air National Guard for their work that theyve been doing during this relief for the disaster. A former President Trump Return to butler, pennsylvania for a Rally Yesterday was the site of the first assassination patient attempt. He also honored the victims of the shooting but he also suggested that his political rivals may have tried to kill him without providing any evidence cnns Alayna Treene has more president Donald Trump returned to butler, pennsylvania On Saturday, exactly 12 weeks after that first Assassination Attempt on his life on July 13. Now, he came back to the exact same venue. Many people in the crowd had actually been at that first rally. Some of them had not. They told me but they werent too worried about security particularly because we know this as well that Secret Service and local Law Enforcement had really ramped up the protocol in place for saturday, but i want to focus on what Donald Trump came to butler to do and that was enlarged part to honor some of the victims and specifically, corey comperatore, he is the man who was killed on July 13 by that spray of bullets. Corey comperatore is family was in the audience and Donald Trump spoke about him at length, talking about the type of man next he was and how he had shielded his family members. And that is how he died. He died dying a hero. Donald trump also thanked some of the other victims who were injured or did that day, as well as secret Service And Butler Law Enforcement and pennsylvania Law Enforcement overall. Now, i will say he spent probably the first 30 minutes its or so of his Speech Doing what his campaign had said, he would do, which is make this a remembrance however, after that, his speech became very political and it minded me of his speech at the Republican National Convention in milwaukee just days after his first butler appearance, where he had promised a speech about unity and he did give one until he quickly turned this speech into an attack on some of his allies. It was very similar On Saturday. I want you to take a listen to what he and both his running mate, Jd Vance had said over the past eight years, those who want to stop us from achieving this future have slandered me, impeached me, indicted me, try to throw me off the ballot and who knows, maybe even tried to kill me. First, they tried to silence him when that didnt work they tried to bankrupt them. When that didnt work, they tried to jail him and with all the hatred they have spewed at President Trump, it was only a matter of time before somebody tried to kill him. Now, victor and amara, we know that both trump and Jd Vance have tried to argue in the past that perhaps democrats democrats for rhetoric about Donald Trump, particularly arguing that he may be a threat to democracy may have been what had led to that first Assassination Attempt, or even the second Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump its life of course, theres no evidence to support that, but that was the case that they were making. I also want to just note that we saw someone at this rally On Saturday that we hadnt seen at Donald Trumps rallies before. And that is one musk, of course. Remember, musk actually endorsed Donald Trump just moments after the gunman had opened fire in butler, pennsylvania in july, it was almost a full Circle Moment Musk came on stage and said that he believes that the 2024 election is the most important election of our lifetimes. He praised Donald Trump im really musk has become a top surrogate for the trump campaign. I think it was very clear that they were making that even more official On Saturday. Victor Amara Treene for us there in butler township, joining me now is max cohen, congressional reporter for punchbowl news. Max, good morning to you so since alayna ended with Elon Musk, im going to start there and then broaden out to the larger Rally Yesterday Elon Musk came onstage jumping around the richest man in the world, damn near, set up he started his speech though by saying, im not only maga, look at this picture not only maga, im Dark Maga what is that i think thats the republican version of joe bidens dark brandon meme, kind of way to say, look, im for the trump movement. But in a more kind of hardcore to the point way, i looked into this Dark Maga actually started around 2022 on Social Media and it was used by republicans to say, if trump gets elected for a second term, hes going to be quote, Dark Maga, which means hes going to pull no punches, be more vicious perhaps in the treatment of people who dont agree with him in a more Hardcore Version of the Maga Brand lets talk about the broader rally here, because pennsylvania, as we know, is a crucial swingstate but this rally you brought in Jd Vance and Elon Musk and Lee Green with singing thousands, Tens Of Thousands of people, was there anything outside of an appeal to the diehards . Was there any outreach at this event to bring in those additional maybe undecideds in pennsylvania i mean, thats what the election is all about, right . So that you up your base, but also appealing to the undecided voters. I would argue that the Elon Musk Rally Appearance is what separates this from a normal trump rally, right . Elon musk is one of the most famous people in the world, one of the most wealthy people in the world, and has this tremendous platform from owning acts. And for voters who might not be tuning in to politics every day, like we are an appearance by Elon Musk does set us apart from an omar rally. So id say maybe if youre neon must super fan, you dont know a lot about politics and you saw him on that stage, you saw that photo you just showed on the screen to come jumping up and down. That might make you to name and consider trump when you might not have had in the past, maybe. Trump and my skin others who were at the rally in the coverage of the Hurricane Helene recovery. Theres been all this disinformation about Fema Funding and 750 dollars. I mean, President Biden actually fact check this information from the former president about Fema And Helene aid on twitter. Trump spreads a lot of disinformation, but this really has caught fire. His claim that the administration is out of money because they gave it to immigrants that they want to vote for him, which is not true yeah, thats correct. And this has been a consistent theme of Donald Trumps campaign in recent months, which is to blame all the problems facing the united states and say, this is because of undocumented immigrants and illegal well, immigration. To be clear here, what happened Is Fema has two separate funds, right . Theres one fund for Disaster Relief. And thats what Secretary Mayorkas said, because congress has an appropriate us, a fullyear Funding Plan because were operating on shortterm funding, were going to need a more robust package to make sure all the victims of this terrible hurricane have what they need to rebuild. Theres also a separate, much smaller fun at fema distributed to cities that were being overwhelmed by Migrant Surge in the past couple of years. And those two things are conflated among some circles. Just another example of how the Information Environment online so easily someone can post an unverified claim. And if that backs up your prior beliefs, it spreads like wildfire. Its just disinformation is what it is. Lets talk about the Vice President this Media Blitz. We know that theres going to be the 60 Minutes Interview thats actually going to air on Monday Tomorrow night. Former President Trump first accepted an interview from 60 minutes and the producers say he then withdrew. But harris will do the howard Stern Show the View Koborie Univision Color Daddy podcast. What explains this shift . Because for several months the campaign has avoided these high stakes, large platform oneonones and now were seeing this flood yeah. I think if you notice a lot of the venues you just mentioned, which harris is going on two or more non traditional political media. You could argue. And i think youve asked a Harris Campaign, theyd say, look, when the final month of campaigning this is what a lot of the undecided low information voters start tuning into politics. So its a perfect time to hit these shows like Color Daddy, like howard Stern Show, which might not be political focused all the time. So i think theyre trying to perfectly timed this to get the maximum impact and also to respond to criticism from a lot of her allies saying, the Vice President is a great communicator. Why are you treating her like president joe biden, who famously has struggled to get his message across. I think its the home stretch. Theyre trying to reach out to as many voters as possible. In addition to the pretty vigorous rally campaign schedule, shes kept up in these Swing States all right. Max cohen, thanks so much. Enjoy the sunday still to come Rescue Workers are continuing to deal with the entire communities wiped out by Hurricane Helene a fema is working to stop three minutes to exploiting the disaster. As we discussed with this disinformation on Social Media. And just days after Helene Communities in florida are preparing for another possible hurricane, the warning from the governor is coming up culture over the edge.

S has now claimed at least 227 lives. Power crews are working to restore electricity to just under 400,000 customers theres this Morning And Fema is not only leading Rescue And Recovery efforts in states ravaged by Hurricane Helene. Now the Government Agency is also doing rumor control. Yeah, a female launched a Helene Rumor Response Web Page on him website to Battle Conspiracy theories and misinformation regarding the federal Governments Response to the disaster. Lets discuss with former Fema Administrator craig a few gate craig, good to see you this morning. First, can we talk . Talk about just the potential dangers of this, the fact that fema now has to take away some of its very valuable resources away from these disaster areas. Just to focus on, on controlling these rumors and how these rumors can also be potentially lifethreatening well, thanks. First of all, it doesnt take a lot of resources to do this so its not taking away from her response. What is really focused on his misinformation. Thats harming people look fema is used to being criticized and quite honestly, Thats Part of the response in disasters this isnt about defending criticism. Its about making sure people have good information especially we start recovering. And the first thing is he was not leading this response. Bemis supporting the governor, every one of these states that are hit its led by the governors and famous and support and thats not a copout. Thats how the system works. So when you talked about this response, i think theme is become a verb. In this nation for disaster response, but its really a team approach. So yes, pmos addressing rumor control, but its not about their reputation its about making sure people have good information and not Paulsons Information that can slow and hinder their recovery. If Vice President harris was in augusta last week and she announced a portion of support thats coming from fema. I want to play what she said and then well talk about it. And the federal Relief And Assistance that we have been providing has included on fema providing 750 for folks who need immediate needs being met, such as Food Or Baby formula, and the like. That 750 in all the Misinformation And Disinformation around It A explain what that is and what it is not and its not new. This has been done in previous disasters. We did this and Superstorm Sandy because theres so much extensive damage its almost impossible to get in there and do any surveys and try to do the full program that fema can do. Theyre doing a immediate assistance. Theyre taking this this is a grant. And if youre in the area of impact, there would very low information trying to get money into your account. Now this opens up a lot of potential for fraud. And im going to hear about this. Carter is talking about this year later about how much fraud takes place and all these disasters but fema understands the important thing right now without getting in the way of helping people. Its just getting a little bit of cash just to get started, this is a no means limiting what they can get. Lorises a long, this is a grant that bemis provided and this is not new. Its been done before lets put some of these rumors to rest and some of the stuff that i found online, ill read it out. Siamak Distributing Aid based on demographic care characteristics Fema Cz and confiscating, Confiscating Property from helene survivors who apply for Disaster Assistance and their land was deemed unlivable fema spending Disaster Relief money on helping migrants around the country illegally. Can you help set the record straight on these yeah. First of all, fema is not even i mean, the only people youre seeing on the ground from fema are people that were either on the response teams for the urban Search And Rescue teams, or people that are going into setup to start registering people so you know, the ability for fema to go in and confiscate anybody is not even within their jurisdiction we appropriated funds for other things. Again, congress is fairly observed. In a fema spending money theyre not supposed to be spending in places theyre not allowed to spend. So again, the house didnt even act on this and theres no evidence that suggest that that Disaster Relief fund was being used to fund this and again, theres so many things that people are talking about. But i want to i want to hit one thing that i think a lot why these rumors get started. This is an area that got heavily hIt And quite honestly, my home got destroyed. I lost family members, my communities wiped out. I dont want to hear about great Job Everybody doing. I im hurting. And in that environment, its easy for misinformation that spread. I got cousins in this area that have had significant impacts there trying to help their neighbors and they were they were texted me going, hey, were hearing all this stuff and we dont think its true. But in the absence of any information, people are wanting to grasp something that explains why this was so bad and so i get that. The important thing is to get past the information quite honestly, none of these people in this area are worried about where fema spent their money. They just wanted no team is there to help them so i think some of this attention is nationally think about the areas of impact they have hardly any communications this Broadcast Isnt reaching many of the people have lost their families and homes were talking to ourselves. We really should be focused on the people were trying to help focus on those survivors. And the programs getting in there and deal with this information when it harms that spots, but not trying to say everythings okay or theres no problem because thats a fallacy as Well Former Fema Administrator craig fugate. Thank you so much for helping us clear up some of the rumors and two dispel some of this disinformation thats floating around on Social Media how do you get like he is saying, how do you get some of the correct information out there, right when people dont have homes, they dont have power or may not have Cell Service or Internet Access or anything.

Sanjay cnn this week, Vice President Kamala Harris is embarking on a Media Tour in an effort to connect with voters. As we mentioned earlier in the show she will appear on the howard Stern Show. The view. The top podcasts or women Color Daddy, in addition to her 60 Minutes Interview, her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz, will also be Making Grounds with appearance is scheduled on Fox News sunday. Jimmy kimmel live and interviews with local outlets. In key Battleground States. Now, both Harris And Walz so visiting arizona to rally support and encourage people to vote as early voting sorry, its on wednesday joining us now is Brian Stelter . Yeah. First of all, lets talk about this Media Blitz that harris is going to embark on. And very different types of outlets vastly different audiences i believe Kamala Harris is the first person to ever go from call her daddy, just 60 minutes a day you know, for viewers who are not familiar with Alex Cooper and call her daddy, its one of the most popular podcaster in the country. Its usually about section relationships. Sometimes risque, even raunchy conversations about sex. But in this case, for harris, its about reproductive rights and she taped this interview at number of days ago and its going to be coming out later today. Thats the kind of interview and going to reach millions of women, especially young women, in a format that is not about politics fix that is not about the campaign trail. So thats a big deal for the Harris Campaign and the campaign this morning announced all these other interviews that are coming up in the next few days. I think almost as a package to send a message about the Media Blitz thats coming this week. So thats what Vice President harris is going to be doing. I want to ask you about Governor Walz because hes going on Fox News sunday. Is that a strategic choice you believe to send walz instead of harris to fox . Yes and fox believes it is as well. This is the first time hes going on one of those Big Sunday Public Affairs programs and hes doing it. And what the Harris Campaign believes is the opposition go into the opposition, going over to fonts. Now, we know tomorrow hes on Jimmy Kimmel live doing his first late night show. So hes going to have friendlier territory tomorrow, but yes, i do think its strategic for was not harris to be doing an appearance on Fox News. We know foxx has been trying to get a Debate And Trump at harris have not been willing to get together at the same time for a debate. So foxs have an interview with walz instead, but thats all part of this Media Blitz that harris has also promoting. I think we view It All as one Package Deal where both of these candidates as october begins, they are really trying to send a message that they are willing and able to appear pretty much everywhere. But why, why this change now, right . I mean, i mean, i get it now obviously is were so close to the election, but harris was so hesitant, right . To do a sitdown interview, took a while until she did her first. And then now were seeing a handful of them happening. You know, just a month before the election you know, i do think its fair to say that as much as News Junkies like yours truly have been paying close attention for, for many months. More average voters might only be tuning in. This, this fall. We know that the first debate on September 10 was a big tune in moment for many people to start to pay attention if youre the Harris Campaign, now does make sense to appear on The View or to appeal on that howard certain show or appear on Coal Bear as opposed to doing that a month or two ago, maybe it makes sense for the campaign to quote unquote, hold their fire until now, when early voting has actually getting underway. And what a lot of these interviews are gonna be on friendly territory for Harris And Walz. I do want to recognize 60 minutes the biggest newsmagazine in the united states. Some tough questions were given to harris. Were offered to harris yesterday. That was a tape yesterday. Its going to air tomorrow. Its really notable that Donald Trump backed out of that 60 Minutes Appearance because yeah, thats the most popular newsmagazine in the country. Trump initially agreed to be on it, then he withdrew. So all of a sudden, cbs still has this big primetime special, but only one of the two candidates so as much has been made of, harris avoiding interviews in the past i think its also notable that trump is avoiding the scrutiny of 60 minutes this week and there is some bad blood there because the 20th interview in 2020 with 60 minutes, he canceled and walked out at the last minute. So thats some important context here. Before we go still to me, ask you what you think about this Elon Musk appear its and butler with him on stage, jumping behind the former president. And what he said happened to many american men who have gone from being obama voters to trump supporters. He is an example of what happens. I think when he spends a lot of time online looking at his own social Media Feed i would argue hes been radicalized and he is obviously now an outspoken trump supporter. But i get a lot of fun yesterday, got to give him credit for that yeah. He looked like he was having fund up enough like that shown his naval alright. Brian stelter. Good to see you this morning.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts Breaking News, the latest national Hurricane Center Advisory on tropical Storm Milton is justin. Lets get right to cnn meteorologist allison chinchar. What does it say allison . All right. We have heard hunters in the storm right now that theyve been able to give us some real time data. So the sustained winds are now up to 60 miles per hour. Thats still a tropical storm, but its showing you that its continuing that strengthening trend and it will continue to do so as it moves off to the east. At about five miles per hour. So heres a look at that plane. Theyve been out there for a little while now kind of going through this storm, they will continue to do so. And theres more, more of these missions plan, not just for today, but over the next several days where it will help us gather some more details about this. Now, the storm is expected to continue to intensify, likely becoming a hurricane at some point later today. And eventually a major hurricane, especially once it gets out over these very warm open waters of the Gulf Of Mexico before taking aim at florida, this could be the third landfall of a system for the state, just this year alone now, right now, landfall could be anywhere from the big Bend Region down through naples so again, well be able to narrow that down a little bit more in the coming days. But regardless of where this makes landfall, this is going to be a tremendous its a rainmaker for pretty much the entire peninsula. You were talking widespread rain of four to six inches, but it is not out of the question that some of these areas could get ten inches or maybe even a foot or more of rain. Now, part of that is what we call a pre a preevent Rain Event thats going to occur. So there are already going to start to get some rain showers tonight, tomorrow. And the next couple of days leading up to this, thats going to saturate the ground thats going to increase the potential for flooding and a lot of these areas thats why you have that Flood Watch in effect. Theres that pre right there. But then you can see the bulk of the Heavy Rain coming from milton itself. That will arrive as early as tuesday for some of these areas along the coast. And then as it continues to make landfall on wednesday, a lots going on for florida. Thank you so much. Allison chinchar. Thank you for being with us for another cnn this morning.
