Can with hurricane milton. Now cat five storm heading straight for tampa, florida, which hasn't taken a direct hit since 1921. Also live the latest from hardhit north carolina and the lies the former president continues to tell about the relief efforts. And later on the oneyear anniversary of the october 7 terror attack would check back in with a woman still waiting for her family being held hostage to come home good evening. Thanks for joining us. It took hurricane milton less than 24 hours to go from an 80 mile an hour storm to 100 names 80 mile an hour monster, one of the fastestgrowing hurricanes ever. And on the path that its on, it could also be the first in more than 100 years to directly hit tampa, florida, a city largely at sea level, or even a smaller storm could do serious damage and which is still cleaning up from his brush with hurricane helene, which may be why people began leaving today and why as many as 6600 ambulances today began evacuating patients from area hospitals and nursing facilities. Tampa's airport closes tomorrow morning, 51 florida counties have now declared emergencies evacuation orders have also gone out for some barrier islands. The national hurricane center, just out with a new bulletin and i want to go right now to cnn media urologists, chad myers. So how did this storm intensifies so rapidly? and what are the coming hours look like absolutely no shear for it to be torn apart and extremely warm record, warm water down there. And now we're into this thing called a loop current. The loop current is the water that comes out of the caribbean just to the east it's of canned, which is the warmest water yet so 180 miles per hour, this thing will hit the west coast of florida. Is it going to be on the south side of the cone to the north? i don't know yet. We're still probably 36 hours away from really getting an idea of where this goes. But hurricane hunters are in it right now and they found the winds still at 100 80 miles per hour and intense storm. I can't imagine being in that aircraft and flying around, seeing what's going there and getting bounced around because what was a 50 mile per hour storm? just 36 hours ago, is now 180 and yes, we will get what's called an eyewall replacement cycle when that and her iowa right now, it's only four miles around. If you were inside the eye it's two miles to that side of the eyewall and to miles to that side of the eyewall that will eventually collapse. And a larger eyewall will form around the outside and the pressure will go up and the wind speed will go down. We expect that when you get a big storm like that, that just happens all the time but look, what's going to happen here. Major hurricane winds in this entire purple area, hurricane winds all the way past the east coast. There will be 1 million or more people without power guess where the power men are, guess with a line. People are there up in the carolinas trying to get their power back on. This take a very long time. Power could be out for weeks, if not longer. Now, you talked about the storm surge in tampa with helene was about seven feet. The forecast right now is ten to 15 feet. So double the surge that they had from helene. And how much damage was done there. There will be homes that no longer exists, especially along the coast. That's just obviously going to happen when you get a ten foot surge and homes are right on the beach there going to be missing. We can't have people in those houses that are missing this is the problem that's why you need to go to date. The great news about this. And unlike what we were in charlie years ago, this did the rapid intensification days ahead of time. So we have the knowledge that it's going to be a big storm charlie was down here, it just went boom and all of a sudden, 12 hours later, it was onshore this at least is giving us a little bit of time to get out of the way. All the models here, obviously on the west coast of florida some though much farther to the south, if you remember, we were waiting for charlie and tampa and it was weighed down here in punta gorda. And so that can happen. It can turn they still do when they get close to land, they can turn flood watch in effect, obviously four to eight inches of rainfall. Some models now predicting probably in the neighborhood of about 15 inches of rainfall. And that's it's just a freshwater flooding that's possible from alberto to barrel, the very earliest category five in the atlantic, to milton, the very latest category five ever in the atlantic ocean. Chege, it's unclear, just unclear. When do you expect it to make landfall? midnight, wednesday night, thursday morning. Okay. So it will be it will be making significant damage by our time on wednesday night show that you and i will beyond alright. Chad myers. Thank you very much. We'll have more on hurricane milton later in the program, as well as reporting from the areas worst hit by helene in north carolina where the death toll it is still climbing and to that point, fema today said the agency has enough funding to handle the response to hurricanes milton and helene. The fact that it has to reassure people about that speaks not just to the weather lately, but also the political climate. That's because in spite of republican mayors and governors and senators and hurricane affected states saying otherwise, don't trump has been lying again about disaster relief this weekend, he falsely suggested $750 was all storm victims can expect to get from the government they send hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign nations. And you know what bucks. They're offering them $750 to people whose homes homes have been washed away only for immediate needs and only one form of aid, among others, that the government offers. As we reported on friday, fema now has a webpage setup dedicated to addressing false information and rumors, many of which are being amplified by the former president, who has a much bigger you're megaphone they've given over 1 billion to illegal migrants that came in and now they have no money for north carolina, for georgia, for south carolina, and alabama, tennessee, and florida, they saw the fema money just like they stole it from a bank kamala's spent all her fema money billions of dollars on housing for illegal migrants, almost no money because they spent it all on illegal migrants migrants coming into our country. The federal government is not being respected kamala wined and dined in san francisco and all of the people in north carolina, no helicopters, no rescue so again, both democratic and republican elected officials where helene struck have openly pushed back against these lies. Here's north carolina republican senator thom tillis on sunday we get to have a discussion about the failure of this administration's border policies and the billions of dollars that's causing. But right now, not yet. Is it affecting the flow of resources to western north carolina? it is not an a factor to be clear. Okay not at this time there's also new reporting that florida governor ron desantis refused to take multiple stormrelated phone calls from vice versa and harris, he said today he didn't know that you'd called she had this to say when asked about it late today? separately, the support right now and playing political games with this moment in this crisis situations and, it is about political gamesmanship that is doing the job that you took people first. Because the vice president late today joining us now republican strategist, north carolinian doug heye, also a cnn political commentator, alyssa farah griffin, who will be making the case against the foreign president, pennsylvania this week, but did not endorse either candidate and cnn's kristen holmes he's in miami where he is holding the form person holding an october 7 commemoration. Alyssa, your reaction to what trump has been saying it's gross, but it's dangerous. Listen, donald trump work directly with fema and i would actually argue that if all the government agencies, i've ever worked with fema may be the most effective at executing their job. Pete gainer, the former administrator under donald trump, was one of the core response efforts behind the covid response, but also many natural disasters that donald trump had to oversee. He knows this information isn't true and it has real life consequences on the ground, volunteer volunteers have been depressed because they think that there's not a need or they're not able to get to where they need to be famous, spending resources, as you said, to knock down these lot hi, and then you have people who desperately need help who are being told there's no help to get when in fact, there are quite a lot of federal resources out there. And i would just know america's adversaries love this. This is a field day for russia and china who are going to amplify on social media ahead of the election to just okay. Fair and terrorist apart, this is listen, everything becomes politicized and month out from an election. But this is a step further that i've never really seen something like this when you're dealing with multiple horrible national natural disasters at the same time. And it just shows donald trump is willing to go solo. Yeah i mean, doug, you're from north carolina. A lot of your families still there. I'm wondering what you're hearing from people hello on the ground about i mean, are people hearing these lies? is it impacting things at all they sure are in anderson. I got a call on thursday from congresswoman virginia foxx, who represents one of the districts most affected by the hurricane, made it very clear to me that fema assured her and other north carolina members on a call that they have more than enough how funds for helene that they're good, they're and look clearly some of the media attention wasn't where it should have been last weekend and certainly we didn't know the direction of the storm, so some of the resources weren't on the ground there. But when you're spreading disinformation, it means all sorts of agencies. It's not just female, right? it's state agencies, it's the small business administration is not just joe biden or donald trump in this matter. It's a comprehensive federal and state and state's effort what they have to do is then take their eye off the ball to tell people these things are false. And then these things are true. This is the news you can rely on. And this is what you can. It takes they're eye off the ball and makes it that much harder. And there's also brass politics in this, as alyssa mentioned, but it's also stupid politics. The reality is the area of north carolina that was hit is overwhelmingly republican. Donald trump of the, of the 25 counties that are under emergency declaration, donald trump won all of them, but to there are about 185,000 more republicans. There are democrats in this issue, are in that area. So by spreading this misinformation, you're hurting your own voters first and we know donald trump takes his people sort of as a special, special case. He's damaging them for his own political goods. That's malicious christian, i mean, does the trump campaign have any explanation for why they why the former president continues to lie about this response. I mean, it's obvious why he does, and there's obviously a shamelessness obviously that he's used to, but i mean, do they did they have any explanation room here, but what is absolutely no change in posture and that they would disagree with what doug just said about how this impacts hello. Says he is trying to speak to people to use to figure tactic that we have seen him for one or leeming bidenharris administration are false that are happening on the ground. And knighted states of this case, the storm response and to blaming migrants. And in this case, you can actually merge the two he was saying, the bidenharris administration is using money that was supposed to go towards his supporters in order to pay for migrants. Obviously, we know this is not true. Ghana's analysts have are allies. They are not the way things are playing out on the ground who you've heard from republicans who have said that as well. However, this is something that they plan to continue running on and just keep in mind, we are now facing a another hurricane. Expect to hear this narrative going forward listen something that desantis is saying. I didn't know vice president harris had called i guess you could say there's politics that divides version. Harris wants to be seen as being sort of in command and therefore, it's calling desantis. I don't know if there's a role for her that she needs to be calling him, what do you make of that? playing out? i think everyone still being afraid of having that chris christie hugging obama moment of embracing, you a different political partisan. But the reality is it's like i worked for vice president pence and anytime there was a major natural disaster, he would also be calling governors, members of congress in the areas that were affected. It's not just the president, so yes, she's a candidate, but it's also an entirely appropriate thing for the vice president of the united states to be doing it's a moment for him to rise to the occasion of leadership and show hurricanes don't choose republicans or democrats. This is going to be a whole of government effort. And i would just also note that the especially north carolina and we don't even know what damage milton is going to cause. There's going to be years of rebuilding, there's going to need to be congressional supplementals to pay for this. Those are things that are done on a bipartisan basis. This in donald trump stoking fear lying about it now doesn't exactly bode well for if he is to be reelected, that he's going to assist those areas that he's not going to let politics affect it and he's going to work across the aisle to get people with just a bummer because i mean, disasters, wars, it usually bring people together bring the country together, brings leaders together. And two, in the midst of this, in this most painful moment to use people's pain and to try to manipulate it just seems particularly egregious. I understand, doug, that you're also hearing kind of new threads. Miss information, they're starting to circulate related to the storm yeah. We're starting to hear from folks on the ground that the case is being made is being built, that if donald trump somehow loses or to sort of prespin a loss in advance that the state board of elections, the moves that they're making to make it easier for people in these impacted areas to vote or somehow trying to rig the game in all the, all the terminology that trump uses to set this election for harris, it's not true, but it's just another way that the problem with conspiracy theories anderson, is when you debunk one, there's always another one to come along, that sort of proves the previous ones case as well. Let me just say very quickly as well, look whether whether desantis or and biden or harris talking desantis very well with biden, the last set of hurricanes that came through, what's more important is that these are not sexy positions, but your regional small business administration, your regional director is speaking to their state counterpart, the regional fema director is speaking to their state counterpart, and that is definitely happening on the ground and it's why we're seeing the relief efforts now really ramped up after starting off slowly. And doug heye list of our griffin, kristen holmes. Thank you. Still to come tonight. The former president has already said that undocumented immigrants are poisoning the blood of america. And now he's raising concerns about their genetics also, one year ago today, hamas launched a terror attack on israel, would talk to the relative of a family of four, including two small kids who were kidnapped that day and whose fate is still unknown tonight at nine how do you sleep at night? when amount just from at this firm, do you have a low price guarantee so isolated get matched up mattress firm, sleep at night, conclave the pope is dead.

He doesn't get the second foot long, wait seriously et yo discount code and save up to 50% over real stone president's thoughts and undocumented immigrants are wellknown, including the many are rapists, killers, and the like today though that kind of thinking cross streams as it were with another of his wellknown beliefs, namely in genetics because in breeding, here's what he told hugh hewitt today in the middle of talking about murderous migrants now a murderer, i believe this it's in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. He also said falsely device president harris was quote, allowing people to come through an open border 13,000 of which were murderers. That number in fact comes from figures which are not specifically about people who entered the country during the bidenharris administration. They cover any administration going back decades in addition, that number includes sides, people who are in jail or prison in for their crimes currently, or who have served their times for crimes. Back to genetics though it is, as we said, something of a pet subject of his in this case in 2020, invoking not murderers, bad genes, but minnesota nice ones isn't it don't you believe the resource theory i think were so different you have good genes in minnesota joining us now is republican strategist and harris support and varault also former biden white house communications director kate bedingfield and trump 2020 campaign senior official, earn feeney i mean, it's obviously you know, this is what he's done for years you know, talking about poisoning the blood and genetics. I mean, it's these are not good. These are echoes of not good historical fact. In 2016, i was mexicans are criminals and rapists and bad hombres and 2024, it's bad genes. Let you know, it's the kind of thing he's been saying for forever, right? he's been peddling otherizing other people. We have seen that he blames everything on migrants and immigrants. He makes up stories about haitians and you can say to yourself, this is just rhetoric, this is just trump in the stupid stuff. He says continuously, people who support him say so, don't take him literally, don't take him seriously. Here's the problem. Because of the things he says, people get triggered because of the things he says he inspires people like the mass shooter that drove miles and miles and miles to an el paso walmart and killed 23 people because he was hunting down on latinos because of the things he said kids in school latino kids in school get called racial slurs and have that trauma forever. So his words matter, his words matter. And this is just who he is aaron levine is the sort of language, bad genes poisoning the blood is that stuff moderate swing voters want to hear in the waning days of a general election, it's not the most strategic targeted measured message towards swing voter is going into a general election. The voters are being very clear about what they care about right now. It's about the economy and about immigration. It's about their families and their communities, and the way that the politicians of every pretty stripe color need to be talking to them is on a humanizing level when they're talking about the economy, it's about affordability, it's about groceries when they're talking about immigration, they're talking about their communities and the safety and sovereignty of this nation. Make it something people can relate to and not something you need to fear monger on. We're in the closing days of this election and every inch matters. We're seeing young latino voters in a usa today poll move more toward young male voters, more toward donald trump. You're going to see these demographics continue to break in these late days. The message that is being delivered by both candidates needs to be strategic and smart to make sure that they're getting this done. And right now, that is not helping donald trump i mean, they continue trump continues to do this. The campaign continues to do this. So i mean, they must have some belief that this works for them. I mean, does it appeal to some sort of feral brain part of human beings? you know, look, i would be afraid to even try to get inside the mind of donald trump and who he thinks this is appealing to. But look, does it appeal to moderate voters to swing voters to the voters that he needs to win over in the final month of this election, no. I mean, we know that immigration is an issue that does work generally in his favor. But what people don't like is exactly this kind of language. They don't like the hateful rhetoric. They don't like the divisive language. And so talking in this way, which i think ana is absolutely right, does it it causes people to behave and really problematic ways? it also just courses our politics, it makes it harder and harder to actually come to solutions, which i think maybe exactly what donald trump's trying to do here in some ways. I mean, he is the one who took the bipartisan immigration bill off the table because he wanted to keep the issue to campaign on and he's not looking for solutions. So if he thinks this is connecting with some piece of his base, maybe it is i'm certainly not the person who could speak to what's working with the maga base. But four, in a general election when you are trying to reach these voters who are ultimately going to determine the outcome of this election know this is not a winning strategy and it's dangerous. And you're obviously cohost on the view, vice president harris is going to be on tomorrow clearly she is now putting yourself out there more. She was on the call her daddy podcast. She's been doing more tv stuff 60 minutes after chocolate, where you're saying call her daddy, but go ahead know. It's very popular podcast. Anyway, you're doing 60 minutes. What do you, what do you expect tomorrow? no. It's gonna be her first live interview since she became a nominee. She's been on the view before as vice president. I think she i think she needs to be authentic. I think she needs to show who she is. I'm very happy that she's going to be out there she's. Doing the view. She's doing howard stern. She's doing stephen colbert. She's doing a univision townhall in las vegas on thursday me. She's doing podcasts. She's doing traditional and nontraditional media. We've heard what you should have done that sooner no, i understand she was basically, you know, i mean, she's little she's been running for like a couple of months. You had to pick a vice president. She had to plan a democratic national convention. She had to get herself together. She had to get her team together, get the campaign running and so like i know that the media i know that we like to think that the world revolves it's around this. She's been doing rallies with thousands and thousands of voters. She's been talking to voters, going to swing states. Now she's going to, she has this media strategy and i think it's exactly the right time because i will tell you, yes, i know that we've been moaning about it, but this is when a lot of people are starting to pay attention. Yes. So yeah, this is a good thing that she's doing it and thanks very much. I really actually, kate, i mean, do you think this is the right strategy at this point for her to be doing this? yeah, i do. I think she needs to be out there flooding the zone. I think it's great that she's doing some of these outlets that are reaching people who are not particularly engaged in politics, which is where the majority of these undecided voters live. Not a lot of undecided voters watching cnn everyday people watching cnn or engaged in politics and probably already know who they're gonna vote for. But some of the people that she's reaching by doing these kind of more non traditional outlets are exactly the voters who may genuinely still be on the fence. So that is smart. The only thing i would add to this strategy is to really flood the zone with local media when she's in these swing states at a time when people, people's faith in media is continues to decline people still trust their local, their local evening news anchor the most. And so that is a great way to reach people who again are just tuning in after work to watch the local news and then turn the tv off. So i would really encourage her to do more of that as well. Yeah. And you're not going to encourage her to do anderson cooper? that's right. Erin. Thank you. Might coming up.

Now, pg 13, anguish, heartache, frustration expressed across israel today one year after the october 7 terror attack mourners remember the more than 1,200 people killed and about 250 who were initially taken hostage which some demonstrators demanded the israeli government make a ceasefire deal to get the hostages back. Combat continues in gaza where according to the hamasrun health ministry, more than 41,000 people have been killed. They don't specify how many of those people were hamas fighters at the site of the nova music festival where hundreds were killed, mourners heard the song that had been playing one year earlier as gunman stormed the concert, slaughtering hundreds and kibbutz nir, oz, mourners. Remember the close knit community where about one in four people were murdered or kidnapped. Among those taken from nir oz that day were members of the bibas family, parents, yarden and shiri bibas and their children, arielle, who was for and kaffir, who was not nine months old. Fear is the youngest person kidnapped that day. Shirib babas, his parents were murdered that day last year, just days after the attack, i spoke with shiri's cousin, effect seiler sane right now. You're sitting here with you and showing their faces i'm telling their story very family back speak clearly, but i'm devastated to do that was a year ago. You've had seiler attended a oz today and i spoke to her earlier i think about configure and auriel a lot since will be talked over the last year and the idea of them in captivity like this is, it's unthinkable i don't think their words to describe how i feel i feel personal failure me talk and asking plea for him and now a year later i feel that i'm losing legitimacy to talk about them to the world justified i'm worried situation that we don't know and no one is taking accountability about them. Entire families who just vanished they've taken from us a year ago and we don't know nothing you said you feel at times like you don't have legitimacy to talk about them, why year ago when we said in the bark invasion world's opinion in where they stand and how they feel towards how my government actions beautiful boys, i i get asked a lot okay. But, you know, there a lot of children who died on the other side gaza want to see any child die being hurt or lose their parents and then he tried to remind everyone that fit children too with no political point of view i was born to a home who believes in a twostate solution. We're not violent to kill whomever is different from us. This is not what we are, and this is what i hear but october 7 happened to us it's broke everything that i believe that they are people like on the other side who just want to leave it has been we've been doing everything we can this past year to talk about my family, to talk about fail to explain who we are what happened to us when we spoke? i thought my aunt and uncle were kidnapped as well two weeks later, we found out they were burned alive in their home in kibbutz neroz can still find compassion, but i i don't feel that compassion from the world anymore towards us. Can criticize their action they don't, don't this means to free palestine i never read my life not a free palestine. By taking a nine monthold baby robin's home not care understand it's very complicated, but in the end of the day, we are all people, we are all humans. And the crime was committed against that too. And other side should be accountable i don't hear the same criticism towards hamas i'm sorry. We hear we stand in the street we shall we want to change things here this is the credit country i can say whatever i want. I feel free. Why don't we hear anything from gaza? it's the hamas leadership towards stiff here, sinwar people tell me they're afraid should hear more gaza, i saw the photos that were sent to us because someone thought they saw a little boy rethread head countless bodies they know what's happening over there i'm asking this someone on the other side. Know about what happened to us. They know about fairness. Do they know what come much worse? do the propalestinian rallies in your college's, do they know about figure about break cousin shaeed has been targeting can't i can't explain entire conflict but i will never justify violence the generational effect of all of this, this cycle of vengeance and just no one coming out of the shelter because bombs from lebanon are being fired into the center of israel to do this because we're not oh, it's known over i will never stop until they're back.

Here's a girl, marquez the cane river on the way to bloody fork, north carolina. I'm not leaving unless i have too far. Health doesn't hold up or if the help stops calming diana merge in her husband, william both in their 70s rode out the storm more than a week later, diana's sits on her front porch with her gun ready for anything or anyone. And what has the last week been like? just absolutely unfathomable. I mean, you couldn't imagine how high the water came and what we saw going down the river you know, one of the graveyards up up the river here was compromised and they're with casket after casket going down that house came right off the foundation within now, making a sound down the river or went a trailer came down. I didn't actually see it, but i heard there were people when they could not get out. You sound a little traumatized by all of it. I think we probably all are traumatized it doesn't seem real their house a bit higher than others survived. Their neighbors. Not so lucky so what i'm standing on his what's left of the driveway of the mirzo, his home? the road that went along here was down here. It is completely gone that empty lot across the river that was their neighbors that was there house that stood there before you could see those cement abutments along the riverbanks, that was a bridge that went across. It is gone, but those people were able to get across to the mirza is home before the flood, completely took their home cadaver dogs. Now sweeping this area, the river, hope of finding anyone alive faded i catastrophe beyond belief. I mean, i'm sure they've seen katrina and sandy and this is on a par with those. If not worse because the communities are so isolated and there's nowhere for these people to go. We're just trying to fill whatever needs they need for now, neighbor helping neighbor, the only communications word of mouth this past week, we've been just looking for people, searching and you didn't improving water the day after. Now, i think doesn't need to miguel marquez joins us now from north carolina. You mentioned that hope has fading for finding people alive or their search and rescue teams out there still is mostly a recovery effort now there are search and rescue teams, or even rescue dogs that we saw today. But there is a lot more cadaver dogs moving into problem with finding the bodies right now, is that it's such a wide spread area and there's so much debris, just vast amounts of both natural and manmade. There's a car covered in natural debris a tank or a silo back here that's also covered in debris. This is the main highway here and microvilli, north carolina as well that goes through smoky mountains. So it is just going to take an enormous amount of time. A lot is coming back on line here, but it's going to take a long time for this party. Of the united states to cover recovery miguel. Thank you for that. The news continues.
