Transcripts For CNN CNN Newsroom With Fredricka Whitfield 20241007

Welcome everyone. Thanks for joining me. Im Omar Jimenez in for fredricka whitfield. Were going to start today with Breaking News because yet another Hurricane Threat is facing floridas West Coast. Just moments ago, tropical Storm Milton Florida as a category three storm in just a few days. Now, governor Ron Desantis has declared a State Of Emergency for 51 counties ahead of and it could bring devastating Storm Surge to parts of the state still recovering from Hurricane Helene. Cnns Rafael Romo joins me. Now, Rafael Helene slammed into florida just ten days ago. I know you were on the ground covering some of its devastation. Can you tell us what were learning now ahead of this potential impact here yes, some are high. This is probably going to feel like a onetwo punch for many floridians in addition to we clearing a State Of Emergency and 51 states, florida governor Ron Desantis has ordered Management Sites to be opened 24 7, so that many areas covered by debris after Hurricane Helene can be cleared before the arrival of milton, which has now, as you mentioned, a category one hurricane, more than 800 guardsmen are currently deployed floyd for debris removal. But santa said there would soon be up to 4,000 available. Governor desantis earlier said that milton has the potential of causing greater Storm Surge than Hurricane Helene especially in the Tampa Bay area. Thats why the santa says this is going to be on all Handson Deck Kind of effort to be as prepared as possible for the Storms Arrival we have instructed assets currently assisting in North Carolina and tennessee to return the necessary equipment and personnel home ahead of miltons landfall. So State Guard national Guard Fwc Highway Patrol Fdl Fdle will be home mandated up, ready to deploy in florida governor desantis also said that florida is going to see a lot of Power Outages and that is something that people should prepare for. Adding that crews are already getting stage to restore electricity as soon as possible. His Emergency Management Director warned people that evacuations well be necessary at a level, Florida Hasnt seen in at least seven years i urge floridians to finalize your Storm Preparations now enact your plan i highly encourage you to evacuate. We are preparing and i have the State Emergency Response team preparing for the largest evacuation that we have seen. Most likely since 2017, hurricane irma, at a Press Conference in tampa, florida, attorney general, ashley moody, it went even further, omar telling floridians who ignore evacuated patients orders that quote, you probably need to write your name and permanent marker on your arm so that people know who you are when they get to you afterwards, other officials say that in the same way that roads flooded with helene, this new hurricane will probably have the same impact with the added challenge of strong winds. Omar while dealing with one hurricane is already difficult enough, but coming so soon after helene, were gonna have to see how this develops. Rafael romo. Thank you so much. I want to bring in Cnn Meteorologist Elisa raffa. So where is milton right now . It is still sitting in the Gulf Of Mexico and thats the problem. Its sitting over very warm Ocean Waters and thats why its been able to rapidly intensify over the last 24 hours, a category one hurricane with 80 mile per hour winds, sitting 800 miles away from Tampa Bay. The track continues to keep it over the Gulf Of Mexico. Those very warm ocean to mourners, which well let it intensify again, to a major category three hurricane. Then it takes its eyes to the West Coast of florida somewhere. Landfill could be even somewhere from Cedar Key down towards naples. We still need to kind of get that bullseye a little bit closer and its you can really determine that Storm Surge forecast where that ai goes regardless youre looking at impacts when it comes to rain, when it comes to win for the entire peninsula of florida. Now, like i mentioned, were talking about Sea Surface temperatures in the middle and upper 80s incredibly warm. And thats whats allowing milton to continue to intensify as weve talked about, which so many of our hurricanes so far this season now the oceans are so warm in part because our heat from our emissions gets trapped into the oceans, which again, which is what allows this rapid intensification because its Food And Fuel for these hurricanes. Weve increased the winds here with milton more than 35 miles per hour in 24 hours. This happens with 79 of our major hurt but its happening even more in recent years as our oceans are warmer. And again, this is that climate factor that weve been watching so closely. Again, when it comes to the forecast, were looking at a continuing to trek across the Gulf Of Mexico impact start late tuesday into wednesday. Landfall looks like itll be some time on wednesday, but look at those wins again. Matters exactly where that eye is if the Storm Surge comes up into Tampa Bay were receipts out of Tampa Bay, something that will need to watch incredibly closely. Again, regardless of what category or what type of winds are you dont need the winds to create the rain. Were talking about several inches of rain, five to eight inches of rain across the peninsula. Some totals ten to 12 inches of rain, which will cause flash and urban flooding again across the entire poland sit peninsula. You dont need to be on the coast to get the heavy rain. Omar and especially as some of this ground is already pretty saturated, it could just say make the impact of that rain even more significant. Again, at least rafah. Thank you so much. Now, while Hurricane Milton strengthens residents across several states are continuing to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the Death Toll from the storm has risen to at least 227 people. Nearly half of those killed were in North Carolina where either were entire communities have been wiped out and official city they hundreds of people are still missing or stranded in the wake of the storm. My next guest was stranded along with her Boyfriend And Dog for four days and she documented. Have a look escape what she was going through their Olivia Coons joins us now from topsoil island, North Carolina. So olivia, can you just tell us first how are you holding up right now . Hi, omar. Thanks so much for having me on right now. My wife and i are experiencing a little bit of shellshocked still. What we went through was very traumatic. What we continue to go through with what were seeing unfold and the community of asheville in especially the rural areas surrounding asheville, is absolutely devastating. So much help is needed right now still, and were just i mean, we were so lucky to be alive i can only imagine looking at the pictures of devastation and seeing how high the water was relative to your house there . I mean, its its almost a miracle. It didnt. You guys made it out in the way that you did. And just for our viewers, can you just walk us through what happened and when you knew something was seriously wrong yeah. I will also im going to just because id really like to touch on whats going on in nashville right now to it was terrifying. The Cane River. We live about 30 feet above the Cane River and were in a 500 year flood plan. We never expected anything like this happen. Weve only live there for you here the Cane River is about four feet deep in front of the house and we watched it rise up 30 feet in a matter of four hours, right in front of our eyes ive never felt that terrified before my entire life and quickly into the flooding, we started to make a plan of just hiking up to higher ground having a Go Bag packed, and we watched whole houses floating down the river. We got we got a little Corner Store about a block away from us. We watched that Detaching Float down the river in front of our house we watch somebody get swept away in their Truck Right in front of our, Eyes Nothing we could do about it. It was a harrowing experience if it was horrible. And then right when the water started splashing up Over The Edge of our place, our basement was flooding. A Power Line had fallen on our house. All of our trees and Power Lines are on the water started to see lower a little and we were we breathe a huge sigh of relief. Theres damage to the house, but were still so lucky to be alive and unharmed and then we as time progressed, we realize how serious is this was. We werent sure if it was just our area or if it was the whole western North Carolina we just werent sure because we couldnt get into contact with anybody and we started to talk to locals and community members. We didnt see any official help for three days and it was just a Waiting Game to see a single Helicopter Fly over us nor a plane nothing. It was just a silent Waiting Game. We are completely in the dark it was it was terrifying and luckily, there was facebook groups looking for us specifically because we were missing. Nobody could get a hold of us and somebody hacked in to check on their family let our family know that we were live and we were okay. And about 24 hours later, our family had hiked in due to come rescue us. In that time, my Best Friend from asheville allison, shes a local Business Owner of Pollen Coffee and flowers. She hiked in Waist Deep Mud for three miles to try to see if were okay just to be met with an official that were that we were dead well in a situation like this, you know olivia, that they are there so many people trying to find so many people, even we just mentioned that facebook group, theres so many people trying to track down some of those are resorting to trying to do it themselves. And i want i dont want to talk about this point and particularly because you said your friends in asheville owns a shop, if if i heard you correctly as far as what youre hearing from people there what do people need, where, what are you finding is the thing that people need most right now . Number one thing is money. Honestly, everybody lost their jobs my boyfriend and i didnt have work right now. Theres so many damages to the house that are not covered by insurance because we would need flood insurance, which we dont have. So ive got to go fund me up joe, donate directly to people work Relief Funds like restaurant owners, Business Owners have funds up, gofundme is just to help their employees we we need so much right now we need as far as materials, we need, we need answers on when were going to have running water again, because that is a dire situation. Theres a health crisis. The modest toxic, everything is toxic. We need Ppe Cold Weather is coming up. We need jackets, we need blankets, we need Sleeping Bags and theres always a Death And Destruction with a Natural Disaster of this size. But i think the topography of western North Carolina makes this a much more urgent and situation because it is so hard to reach people. I know also with any, any Natural Disaster like this, marginalized folks who cant get on the internet who dont have as much Access Or Privilege are hurting a lot more and local organization beloved asheville, they are doing so much work on the ground please donate to them as well as directly to people we have not seen a single Red Cross truck. Fema is blocking some supplies to. So theres been a little bit of frustration with official help. But the people, the community is coming together, people are coming together helping Each Other, doing everything that they can to make sure that were safe yeah. Yeah. We here just how were we also need answers about the local jails. Whats going on with those prisoners or prisoners are being evacuated or transported and you just really need to know whats going on with the water too, because this situation is really dire. And i wanted to throw in one thing for folks watching as well, for people who live across helenes 500 Mile Path of destruction. And that you still need basic necessities. You can go to cnn. Com impact to look at some of those resources as well as olivia. Thank you for being on really appreciate you taking the time. I wish you all the best im glad you made it out. And of course, well continue to monitor their recovery. Really appreciate okay. Thank you. Of course.

New today Israels Military is mounting renewed attacks on hamas In Gaza after launching airstrikes overnight, the idf says it began a new Ground Assault after seeing signs, the group is rebuilding. You can see residents in the area packing up and fleeing as fighting broke out. And it comes as israel prepares paris to mark one year since the October 7 Hamas Attack sparking the war In Gaza. Cnns Jeremy Diamond is in Tel Aviv for us. So what more are we learning about the attacks In Gaza . Well omar this is the fourth time now that the israeli military has begun to push into the Jabalya Refugee Camp in northern gaza. The fourth time that the israeli military has had to go in there because hamas has reconstituted in that area and of course it is notable as it comes on the eve of October 7, knowing that even as the israeli government and its military say that hamas has effectively no longer a solid Command And Control military Structure Or Governance structure In Gaza that they still retain significant lities that the israeli military is then forced to try and go and defeat. Once again, we saw airstrikes and artillery the strikes overnight ahead of the entry of israeli ground troops. Now, the israeli military says that they have encircled that Jabalya Refugee Camp. Hamas for its part, its qassam brigades, the Military Wing says that they have been engaged in fierce firefights with israeli troops over the course of the last 24 hours. And weve also seen significant israeli strikes in Central Gaza as well. But with this Military Operation in northern gaza, we are also seeing the israeli military issuing fresh Evacuation Orders for the majority of the northern part of the gaza strip. That is hundreds of thousands of people potentially affected by this. Weve already seen hundreds of families begin to flee from jabalya early this morning following those air her and artillery strikes and so many of them expressing concerns about where they can go to find safety even as they are being directed to this expanded humanitarian zone of almawasi. We have seen that the israeli military has carried out strikes there as well. Now, ill, as all of this is happening, the israeli military and its government are also still currently deciding exactly how to retaliate against iran for that barrage of ballistic missile attacks earlier this week, i actually just spoke with the Defense Minister here you have galants he told me that even as the united states has been urging israel not to strike iranian nuclear facilities, that Everything Quote Everything is on the table as it relates to potential retaliatory actions directed at iran. He met today with a general erik kurilla, the head of us central command. Hes flying to washington on wednesday to meet with the u. S. Defense secretary, yoav galants. So that close us is really partnership, still very much happening. But also galants making clear to me that israel will ultimately make its own decision about how and when it will strike iran. And look, i mean, we are now one year since the October 7 attack. Do you have a sense of how israel is planning on marking that anniversary . Well, events throughout the country tomorrow. Its going to begin in the morning on the site of that Nova Music Festival at the time of the attack, which was around six in the morning, a Commemoration Ceremony there for the roughly 1,200 israelis who were killed killed in that Hamas Attack on October 7, here in Tel Aviv, there will be events during the day and in the evening at higher cone park. Those ceremonies though, are being scaled down somewhat because of restrictions on the numbers of people who can gather as israel is currently in a multifront war, the israeli military also to telling me that they are preparing for the possibility of hamas Firing Rockets at israel on October 7 to mark that day. So certainly tomorrow will be a very sad day, very commemorative day here in israel, but also one that is very much still happening during an active and ongoing war. Omar. Yeah. Jeremy diamond in Tel Aviv. Thank you so much. As jeremy alluded to also happening Today Beirut Southern Suburbs with Attack Cnn crews saying they were some of the most intense since the current conflict began and israel says it is targeting hezbollahs weapons, facilities and issued new Evacuation Orders for parts of beirut. We also learned just a short time ago that flights at all of iran, civilian airports are being canceled overnight tonight and into monday morning. Cnns Ben Wedeman is in beirut. So ben, what can you tell us . What about the intensity of the latest strikes that our crews have been seeing about it overnight from saturday into sunday. We saw some very intense airstrikes according to the national News Agency There Talley says it exceeded 30 strikes, all of them in the Southern Suburbs of beirut and well, in throughout the day they basically at least every hour there was a strike somewhere on the Southern Suburbs. Some of those strikes did result in secondary explosions, suggesting that indeed there were weapons at some of those targets hits other targets. However, targets rather places we are familiar with have also been hit with no obvious Military Utility meanwhile, down in the south, as you mentioned the arabic spokesman for the israeli military, giving more Evacuation Orders to villages in the south at this point, theyve given these orders to more than 125 villages. Theyre telling people to go north of the Awali River, which is well away from the border, more than 50 kilometers the suggestion is that even though the israelis have made it he has declared many times that they want to drive hezbollah Fighters North of the Litani River the Awali River is well north of that, were basically talking about they want their gradually telling the inhabitants of a fourth of the landmass of lebanon to move north north of that Awali River suggesting a possible repeat of the kind of Mass Displacement that weve seen so many times In Gaza. The fear is that not only given the intensity of the bombing campaign, israel has been engaged in for the past as two weeks plus these mass display, but spent it definitely does smack of the Gaza Vacation of South Lebanon Alma Ben Wedeman in beirut. Thank you so much.

She goes on howard Stern Show The View and then The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and then on thursday she will be in Las Vegas for a Town Hall in spanishlanguage, wouldnt be shown tv. Cnns Julia Benbrook joins us now from the white house. So julia, what can you tell us about the big week ahead for harris and her Running Mate . Clearly a strategy here well, people have been calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to do more interviews and have more unscripted moments ever since she took over at the top of the democratic ticket. And she is ramping up those efforts this week with a series of high profile interviews, each one looking to reach a different type of voter. Her appearances range from the region Patients Chip focused podcast, call her daddy. The moderator of that podcast has millions of followers, both on instagram and on tiktok to a Sit Down with 60 minutes, which of course has been around for decades and is be taught Newsmagazine Program in the united states. Now her call her Daddy Interview is going to go live sometime today and it features an indepth conversation about reproductive rights, abortion access, and a number of other issues that are important to women. This election cycle, her 60 minutes Sit Down with bill whitaker, airs on monday, and that is is the Oneyear Anniversary of the Hamas Attacks on israel. And in a preview that we got today, harris, it stresses that she believes that the u. S. Has had an influence on israeli decisionmaking, even as that conflict continues to escalate diplomatically with the leadership of israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles, which include the need for humanitarian in aid, the need for this war to end, the need for a deal to be done, which would release the hostages and create a ceasefire. And were not going to stop in terms of putting that pressure on israel. And in the region, including arab leaders later on in that exchange, harris was asked if the u. S. How they close ally and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, she reframed with a question and said that the u. S. And israel have a strong alliance now, as you mentioned, this is just the beginning of her Media Blitz this week, she will also be appearing on the howard Stern Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The View, and participating in a Town Hall hosted by Univision Jim her Running Mate, minnesota governor Tim Walz, has a busy week as well. He was on Fox News sunday earlier today. Hell be on Jimmy Kimmel live and has a series of local interviews signed up omar Julia Benbrook, well see if that stems off some of the criticisms theyve gotten. That its 30 days to an election. So who knows Julia Benbrook really appreciate it the next hour, former President Donald Trump is set to hold a rally in the battleground, State Of Wisconsin yesterday, he returned to butler, pennsylvania for a rally. The site of his first Assassination Attempt. There he was also joined on stage by billionaire Elon Musk. And at that event, trump shooting, but also without any evidence suggested that his political rivals may have tried to kill him. Lets bring in cnns steve contorno joins, who joins us now from that Trump Rally in wisconsin. So steve, what . What are we expecting to hear from the former President Today dozens of small rural counties across wisconsin then were trumps campaign is hoping so, run up the score in a state that was decided for years ago by about 20,000 votes. He won here by about two to margin in 2020 and his campaign has been working aggressively to try to match that margin or expanded going into this election. And trump is clearly speaking much to his base and trying and trying to help that effort with his rhetoric lately, weve heard him make a lot of dark comments about immigration about crime, about the economy, and democracy. And yesterday he baselessly suggested that his political enemies might have been behind the Assassination Attempts on him. Take a listen to what he said over the past eight years, those who want to stop us from achieving this future have slandered me, impeached me, indicted me, tried to throw me off the ballot. And who knows, maybe even tried to kill me but ive never stopped fighting for you and i never will never well never going to stop visit to wisconsin in just nine days. Such a critical battleground and you can see why in this Marquette Law School poll that recently so we came out, its one of the best pollsters in this state and they put this race at 52 harris to 48 trump, in which is very close to within the margin of error and so youre going to see both of these candidates competing a hard for this state. We expect Donald Trump to make many more visits and he will be on this stage in just a few moments, speaking to this crowd here, which is quite large and quite sizable and ready to hear from him. Omar, in these Battleground States, maybe sick of these two candidates by the time you get to election day, a lot of visits likely between now and the day itself torno just bringing us the latest from one of them. Thank you so much. Now for more on this week, on the Campaign Trail, lets bring in a former pennsylvania congressman, Charlie Dent and political reporter for the milwaukee journal sentinel, jesse. A point when so look at charley, im just ill start with you. Trump was back in butler yesterday, the site of his first Assassination Attempt, and we know this was a lone gunman, but trumps seem to suggest this may have been some sort of conspiracy. So whether its part of a grander political strategy, i dont know. But is there any political value to trump doing this are floating that possibility even if its based on no evidence the former president would go off into another culdesac. Well, he will make statements set are simply not supported. By fact, he just does that. And thats how he is and i would expect nothing less. We know in butler that appears to be disturbed young man who attempted to assassinate trump. It was a hideous event obviously, but it was, it was it seemed to be disturbed young man, unlike the case in florida where the fbi the fbi, excuse me, the Secret Service stopped that potential Assassination Attempt and that individual seemed to be politically motivated based on what weve all read, but dont be surprised by trump im going into these dark places. The Conspiracy Theories eating cats and dogs and ohio and all sorts of other things that really arent helping him speak to voters who can be persuaded. I think that turns a lot of them off that florida would be assassin had political motivations all over the place seemed to be just very followed a lot of what was going on. I think its fair to say jesse now, look, trump is campaign wisconsin again today we just mentioned it we also saw harris there last week, but its not just the appearances in terms of ads, both campaigns are pouring money into what you know, is a critical Battleground State. I know wisconsinites are probably used to being inundated around election day, but how this, all of this Cycles Attention impacting voters there right now i mean, i think its more than were used to be honest i went to school at iowa, so i was used to the Caucus Influx of ads and what im seeing here is kind of what it feels like, what it felt like an iowa along a while ago its as you Cant Turn on the tv without watching when you watch a Football Game without seeing an ad in the packers are playing this afternoon. So were all going to be seeing them this afternoon but yeah. I mean, its the constant presence. Not only do you have harris here, you have trump here, you have Tim Walz here, you have Gwen Walz here. You have Jd Vance here its not stop. Yeah. And look, Charlie Trump brought Elon Musk on stage with him yesterday. Weve seen a lot of Celebrity Endorsements for both campaigns lately, but in a new marist poll, 86 of voters polled said there was nothing that could change their mind about their pick for president. Do you think Celebrity Endorsements, including musk, can still have an impact on this race. And what do you think might get that remaining 14 to make a decision one way or another . Well omar i never, ive always been one whos never believed that Celebrity Endorsements really mean that much. I, i always kind of thought there like consolation prizes. Now i might make an exception for Taylor Swift because she is a cultural icon, icon. So she might have an impact. But by enlarge, i would say absolutely, theres no real benefit theres a small number of persuadable voters out there, many of whom are being motivated, we think by economic issues and so to the extent that candidates can speak to those concerns all the better. But in the case of Donald Trump, you know, he really has a hard time staying focused on a message and i also ill caution people in these battleground polls. Remember in 2016 and 2020, Donald Trump perform better than the Battleground State polls would suggested. Now, also this is the first president ial Election Post dobbs. So in the course, harris has a lot of Energy And Momentum behind her. Women are motivated. So anybody could tell you theyre going to how theyre going to handicap at this thing right now. And states like pennsylvania, i dont think they really know for sure. It is so tight and right now, its i think its still a Jump Ball and jesse, i want to bring you on this because Melania Trump is on Fox News this morning and she talked about how her views on abortion seemed to be at odds with her husbands. But bottom line, we know abortion is such a he major issue in wisconsin in particular, theyve been in the middle of this, of this state political fight. I know the State Supreme Court is going to take up a few issues on it. There. Do you believe its as motivating factor politically as it is from when roe v. Wade was first overturned i think its still significant. Here and wisconsin, we have a law from 18, 49 that effectively bans all abortion unless the Mothers Life is in danger. Thats been put on pause based on some port rulings. And like you said, its coming before the State Supreme Court abortions have resumed in some in some respects here here, but i think doctors are still concerned. I think women are still concerned.
