Carried out by terrorists, sparking a war in gaza that has no end in sight. Well look back at that dark day and get a live report from israel on the current situation there. Also ahead, Vice President Kamala Harris was pressed on whether the United States has an ally in israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. Well bring you her response, and it comes as Donald Trump is encouraging it real to ramp up attacks on iran. Well play for you his comments. Good Morning And Welcome to Way Too Early on this monday, October 7th. Im jonathan lemire. Thanks for starting your Day And Week with us. Today, in deed, marks the Oneyear Anniversary of the deadliest Terror Attack in israel. Last year hamas fighters stormed across the gaza border, rampaging communities in southern israel. They killed about 1,200 people, and took more than 250 hostages. The biggest massacre happened in the desert where thousands of people were attending the supernova music festival. 364 people were killed there, many others kidnapped. Videos of some of the abductions were shared widely on Social Media including a girl who was later rescued by israeli defense forces. Now more than a year later, hundreds still remain captive in gaza, including seven americans. Its believed more than 30 of the hostages are now dead. After October 7th, israel declared war on hamas, launching one of the most intense bombardments ever recorded in modern warfare. More than 40,000 palestinians have died since. Its unknown how many of those are hamas members. Certainly many innocent civilians and children. Several other iranianbacked groups have also been Trading Fire with israel in support of hamas. The houthis in yemen have been targeting ships in the red sea. In lebanon, attacks have escalated with hezbollah. Last year they launched a Ground Invasion into lebanon. And tensions between Israel And Iran have been rising since tehran launched two miss aisle attacks. Both were thwarted by the u. S. Along with western and arab allies. Joining us from the site is Nbc News international correspondent raf sanchez. Raf, so good to see you this morning. Please, give us an update on what israel is doing to mark the anniversary, and a feel of the nation as they look backward but also is grappling with further violence. Reporter jonathan, good morning. One year ago, the October 7th attack began right here. There were some 3,000 people, most of them young, attending the supernova festival, place of joy, a place of music. Then suddenly hamas gunmen began closing in on all sides, and you can see that this site is now a vast memorial to the more than 300 people who were killed here. Their names, their faces, their stories being remembered. And, of course, its not just those who were killed. There were 40 people taken hostage from this site. And, jonathan, almost unbelievably, nearly half of them are still Hostages Inside Gaza today. The fact that there are around 100 people still held in captivity one year on is an open wound in israeli society. This is not a case of looking back on pain from a year ago. This is every day, agonizing pain continuing here. Now, there was a ceremony at Sun Rise attended by the israeli residents. They played the last track where the music stopped and the shooting started. Weve been Hearing Shooting continuing all day. It is coming from gaza, which is just about two miles that way. Weve seen israeli gunships. It is a reminder on the other side of the border in gaza, there are no memorial come Member Rags going on. There are just palestinian families trying to survive another day as this war drags on. Israeli forces have issued a new set of Evacuation Orders for people in northern gaza. Theyre once again being displaced from their homes, and it is a reminder that this is a very active conflict on multiple fronts, jonathan. International News Correspondent Raf sanchez. Well be getting your reporting a little later in the morning, and, of course, well have much more on the October 7th commemorations. During an interview with 60 minutes, Vice President Kamala Harris was press odden the conflict going on in the Middle East and whether the United States, which sends billions of Military Aid to israel, still has any sway with israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. In a Preview Clip of the full interview, which is set to air later today, harris is asked about how netanyahu has resisted pressure from the biden administration to agree to a ceasefire deal, how hes ignored call from the u. S. About not going to lebanon, and how he has promised retaliation for irans missile attack, which could potentially expand the war. But it seems that prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening. Well, bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by israel that were prompted by or the result of many things including our advocacy of what needs to happen in the region. Do we have a real close ally in prime Minister Netanyahu . I think, with all due respect, the better question is do we have an important alliance between the american people and the israeli people, and the answer to that question is yes. So Vice President Harris And Governor Tim Walz are ramping up their Media Appearance this week in an effort to reach larger audiences ahead of the rapidly approaching election. Tonight 60 minutes will air that full interview with harris while walz will make his late Night Tv Debut when he sits down with jimmy kimmel. Hell also put his fate with the popular podcast smartless. Tomorrow harris will be on the view, the Stephen Colbert show, and more. Harris is looking to shore up support from latino voters. Joining us now, Senior National Politics Reporter Jonathan allen. Good to see you. Its been a steady drumbeat of democrats for Kamala Harris. They were talking on the Morning Joe about that. Had a major story about it. And they are now shifting tactics. Talk about what they hope to do with this Media Blitz. Jonathan, i think the short answer is they hope to shake up the race a little bit to lift the trajectory of the Harris Walz Campaign to try to reach more voters, both their Base Voters and also in some cases some independents. It depends on the venue theyre dealing with. Most of these interviews are stillIt In that category of kind of friendlies for the democrats. Theyre not venturing out into the sort of most dangerous territory of the highprofile independent, except for The One 60 minute interview Vice President harris did. From a strategic standpoint, theyre looking for votes, and theyre very quick to reach a lot of voters if youre doing big media, right . Its a lot easier than traveling from state to state. It cant be said enough how this has been the sort of secret Story Line on democrats in the last couple of weeks. Ive heard from democrats, yes, A Thousand times yes, they need to do this. Jonathan, youve been reporting how some of the messaging on the Harris Campaign Ticket is going negative on trump. Yes, jonathan. A lot of the campaign has been going negative on trump. But what were seeing is a shift, a combination of kind of two things toward if not entirely negative, a lot more contrast, which is a little more positive about the democratic candidate, a little more negative about the republican candidate, and then the straight negative. You see the ads being placed around the country. Thats partially due to being where we are on the campaign season, but you often see this shift to the negative. Also one Campaign Official told me, theyre concerned that the numbers arent moving, you know, with the current mix that they have with the ads and what theyve been doing. Look, its a close race. We know its been a close race all along that hasnt changed and both sides are looking for what they have to gape. The Harris Campaign has to remind voters what they dislike about trump. Certainly there are super pacs affiliated with trump who are hammering harris with negative advertising. But lets talk about the ticket itself and whether they plan to do more major interviews. Lets be clear. Trump himself does not sit for any adversarial questioning whatsoever. Its friendly audience after friendly audience. Any change coming there . I dont expect that, jonathan. Weve already seen that former President Trump doesnt want to do debates. Weve seen him skip out on the 60 minutes interview. Usually both candidates sit down with 60 minutes. I dont see that being beneficial. One of the reasons is he may remind Swing Voters what they dont like about him, exactly what the Harris Campaign is trying to do. So i expect to see him also, you know, spending most of his time with what we call friendlies. I believe hes supposed to be on the Hugh Hewitt show. Hughs a great interviewer, but hes reportedly on the republican side. Thats a good point. We have four weeks to go. Jonathan allen, thank you for starting off the morning. We will talk to you again real soon. Next up here, well play you President Bidens comments and this Years Election and trumps rhetoric. Plus, we have an update on Recovery Efforts. Those stories and a check on sports and weather when we come right back. Weather when we com right back when a tough cough finds you on the go, a syrup would be.

Were expecting it to strengthen further as it makes landfall later wednesday, possibly into thursday. Its starting to slow down a bit. But 100mileperhour winds, and its going to move through very warm waters in the gulf and its going to continue to strengthen. Were going to see the outer rain bands touching peninsula. We will see Rain Chances in florida today. Its a combination of a frontal boundary with waves kind of riding along it. Already saturated today. Then by tomorrow well see it strengthen into the warm waters of the gulf. Well see the winds increasing, lifethreatening Storm Surge on wednesday and heavy rainfal this is going to be a big day. Were looking at that landfall later on wednesday. Again, could see 15 inches of rain in some spots. Lifethreatening storms. Winds gusting up to 100 miles per hour. Heres the path. Were going to see it strengthen into a category 4 storm, ma i superior hurricane, by early on tuesday. Then as we go into wednesday, a category 3. Its still a major hurricane. It it will cross somewhere in the South Central Gulf Coast of florida where it will be a category 3. This came out as a 5 00 advisory as well.

Thank for being with us. Back to politics now. Former President Donald Trump continues to attack the White House, often with truly terrible lies about the Governments Response to Hurricane Helene. Even as the biden administration continues to send more and more resources to the impacted areas. At Campaign Events throughout the weekend, trump ripped the West Wing for its handling of the storm, calling it worse than hurricane katrina. Take a look. They are doing the worst job on a hurricane than any administration has ever done. Kamala has done the worst job, and its really like her because she was put in charge. If you watched over the last couple of days, they are doing this is a katrina for them. This is one of the worst they say its the worst job ever done on helping people throw the rashages of a hurricane. This is the worst response to a storm or a catastrophe or a hurricane that we have ever seen ever. Probably worse than katrina, and thats hard to beat, right . Worse than katrina. They didnt do too good a job either, but this is worse. They send their money to foreign nations, he and she. They send hundreds of billions of dollars. They send hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign nations, and you know what theyre giving our people . 750 bucks. In a statement on saturday, the White House condemned those trying to politicize the storm response, writing in part this, a number of scam artists, badfaith actors, and ores who want to sow chaos because they think it helps their political interests are promoting disinformation about the recovery effort, including ways to access critical and lifesaving resources. This is wrong, dangerous, and it must stop immediately. Joining us now, white House Reporter for the Wall Street journal, ken thomas. Ken, theres no question Donald Trump is trying to politicize the response to the storm. Frankly, he endangers by sowing this disinformation the residents of North Carolina and some supporters in western North Carolina who might be reluctant to reach out to the federal government because of trumps false claims about the response. Talk to us about how you see the politics of this disaster. Yeah. Good morning, jonathan. I think what youre seeing is a typical trump tactic. If you say things over and over again, you can try to make them true. But in this case, there are a lot of false claims happening here. You see the White House try to respond to this. They put out a Statement Yesterday from the president , noting that, you know, he has ordered up 500 additional active service troops in North Carolina. Fema director criswell was on the show sunday pushing back, saying there are resources there, were doing everything we can help, and theres no politicization here. You know, you heard trump use the Term Katrina over and over again. Thats just one of those terms that just lives in peoples minds and is, you know, synonymous with government, you know, not being able to respond to the needs of people following a devastating storm. I think what the White House is trying to achieve is more like a Superstorm Sandy response that we saw from obama in 2012. That happened toward The End of that campaign, and it was credited with really helping obama get over the top. Its a unique situation because harris is not directly involved in the response. Shes playing more of a supportive role here along with the president. But i think theres a real push within the White House, within the administration to just try to push back on misinformation. Two notes on that. The Fema Administrator will join us a little later this morning on Morning Joe. A and in 2012 with Superstorm Sandy, there was a bipartisan response. There was that bipartisan hug from chris christie. Weve seen some republicans support him, tim tillis, saying, hey, the biden administration is giving support, but you dont hear that at all from Donald Trump. Lets switch. After the democratic show, the Harris Walz Ticket ramping up their Campaigning And Week appearances ahead. Give us your thoughts on how they see the map, which states they feel the best about as we head to this final stretch and the polls show a razortight race. I was in Pennsylvania And Michigan this weekend. Theres, frankly, anxiety for democrats in both of those states. As jonathan indicated earlier, the numbers really moving, and theres this attempt by trump especially with the auto industry. I think theres a push to fortify those states. Were also going to see the Harris Ticket making a big play out west later this week. Arizona has early voting beginning later in the week, so youre going to see her out there as well. But, you know, this is just a Jump Ball in so many of these states, and really nothing is assured. So i think this Media Blitz really speaks to, you know, an attempt to shake up the race, an attempt to get her out there. I often think it speaks to just the unlikelihood of perhaps not seeing another debate. If were going to have another president ial debate, were probably going to have to figure it out this week, and so that would be an opportunity for both candidates to speak to a large, large audience. But if you dont have a final debate, theyre going to have to sort of generate these opportunities through Media Interviews and other types of events. You mentioned michigan. Democratic lawmakers, Slotkin And Dingle saying theyre anxious and it could be slipping away. Ken, thank you. Well speak to you again soon. Next up here, well Take A Look at this Mornings Business headlines with our friends at cnbc. Well get you off to the markets which are sort of sluggish this month. Well be right back with that.

Stock futures are down as Wall Street tries to keep momentum going from fridays rally. Ta uc to us, please, about how the markets look to us today. There was a very strong jobs report despite fears of a slowdown. The payrolls showed they added 254,000 jobs in september against 150,000 expected, so the futures are pausing this morning after four winning weeks in a row on Wall Street for all three indexes. This Week Theyll Watch for the federal Reserve Meeting minutes on wednesday and you have the airlines on thursday and Jpmorgan Chase on friday. The European Union voted late on friday to vote on higher tariffs on electric vehicles imported from china. How might that impact the Ev Industry both in europe and here in the United States . A really interesting move here. The Eu Set to impose tariffs up to 45 on evs from china. This would produce some unfair competition for the European Carmakers here. That comes, of course, in the context of whether chinese Ev Makers have pushed aggressive into into the European Markets while the local carmakers have been struggling to produce cheaper ev vehicles. We heard some vocal positions as well like from germany that worry that this could backfire and start a Titfortat Trading War with a key partner and that china so far have responded by threatening tariffs on eu branded imports and started their own investigation on Pork And Dairy products. The u. S. Want to impose 100 tariffs on chinese ev imports. Lastly and briefly, Chrysler Parent Stellantis has fired a federal lawsuit against the united autoworkers, the Auto Union there. What prompted the move . On thursday the uaw workers posted to strike and the company cannot resolve some ongoing grievances. Stellantis says the uaw has violated terms of a contract signed last year, and the lawsuit they filed on friday stipulates if the union does go on strike, they want some damages in case the production is paused. This dispute is ongoing because there are some concerns as some investments said they would put a plan in the contract that it passed last Year And Delay some of their investments. Thats caused some grievanceses bety union. Thats why they requestioned to potentially strike. This is the latest in an ongoing dispute and escalation. Charlotte reed of cnbc. Thank you. Next up, well turn back to the rising tensions in the Middle East, this on the anniversary of the October 7th Terror Attacks. Well also play a few of Donald Trumps comments on the iran attack on israel and the reaction he thinks israel should take in response. Thats next on Way Too Early.

Speaking at a Campaign Event in North Carolina over the weekend, former President Trump said that israel should attack irans nuclear facilities in Rae Response to last weeks missile barrage. They asked him, what do you think about what do you think about iran . Would you hit iran . And he goes, as long as they dont hit the nuclear stuff. Thats the thing you want to hit, right . They asked him that question. The answer should have been, hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later. Trumps remarks came in response to comments from President Biden who urged israel to show restraint. Joining us now, former commander and retired admiral james stavridis. Hes author of the restless wave, a novel of the United States navy. Thanks for being with us. Stark contrast from President Biden, whos urging israel to show restraint, though unclear if hell listen. Trump taking the opposite approach, risking real escalation. Its a perfect contrast in two approaches to Foreign Policy. One is, swing for the fences, go for the big shot, and clean up afterward. The other one is measured, sensible, think through what youre going to do. If you are sitting in israel, which is how we ought to frame this, because in The End these arent decisions for a former president or even for the current president. These are decisions for israelis. If youre in israel, youre thinking, okay, what am i going to do in response to 200 ballistic missiles that came raining down on my country just a few days ago . Youre going to look at everything from cyber to targeted killings of leadership to going after nautical targets at sea, to going after the Air Defense Grid to knock it down to going after the military industrial complex. For example, where did those ballistic missiles come from . Finally, on the targets are going to be the energy, the fields, the oil, and the nuclear sites. Theyre all going to be examined as targets, and i gave them to you in ascending order of controversy and difficulty. At The End of the day, israelis will decide if i were leading the idf, i would not recommend at this moment going after nuclear sites. I would go after probably the military industrial complex, jonathan. So, admiral, today, of course, the Oneyear Anniversary of the October 7th attacks in israel. Lets get your thoughts on that, a solemn day, and also how that moment has really reshaped the globe. The biden administration Foreign Policy completely had to be revamped because of what happened there. It is now also a political issue both at home and abroad. Yeah, lets start with just the immense Human Cost. You can look at the straight up numbers. 1,200 israelis killed, 40,000 palestinians killed, hundreds o themselves. Recall that the populations here are only 10 Million in the state of israel, maybe 5 Million palestinians. Those numbers feel to those populations like 35,000 israelis killed, 3 Million palestinians killed. So the Human Cost here cannot be overstated. In particular, the hostages, i think, tragic. Secondly, this has put the Palestinian Question back on the international agenda. Your point, its reshaped how the world, frankly, is looking at the region. Then third and finally, jonathan, you hear that specter of sovereign state war, serious war between Israel And Iran, which would almost certainly drag in the United States and potentially Drag Russia in, as well. These are big, big movements that have occurred as a result of the actions of a year ago. Its a good day to sit back and contemplate how we need the kind of restraint we talked about a moment ago to avoid this going into a wider war that could crack the global economy. Really important words this morning. Were grateful to former Supreme Allied Commander of nato, retired four star navy admiral, james stavridis. Thank you, admiral. Well talk again soon. Coming up here, President Biden issues a new warning about the 2024 election. Why the Commander In Chief Is Con earned that it might not be peaceful. Coming up on Morning Joe, well have more live reporting from israel one year after the October 7th Terror Attack. Plus, well hear from an October 7th survivor about his harrowing ordeal. Also ahead, Fema Administrator, criswell, will be a guest as misinformation about the federal response to Hurricane Helene continues to spread.

Joining us now, national political correspondent for politico, meredith mcgraw. Good to see you this morning. Lets talk right there. The president is not wrong. The republican ticket has not pledged to honor the results of this coming election. I know Law Enforcement is deeply concerned about possibly more violence this time around. What are you hearing from other republicans . What do they think might happen . Well, President Biden said that he expected a free and fair election, but he really did stop short of expressing confidence that there would be a peaceful transfer of power. We know there are serious concerns from the federal government about January 6th, about the possibility of violence again. We know that Secretary Mayorkas has made January 6th and the electoral vote count a special national security event. Theres going to be beefed up security this time around. Extra scrutiny on how secret service, of course, handles this event again. You know, biden is responding to Jd Vance on the Debate Stage last week, not directly answering the question about whether or not he and trump would accept the election results. It comes, too, as we heard at the Butler Rally over the weekend, you know, trump and people like Elon Musk saying that this could be the last election if he doesnt win. Yeah, meredith, you led me to exactly where i wanted to go next. Theres so much happening this weekend. I think it was somewhat overlooked. Forer President Trump returned to butler county, the exact site of the Assassination Attempt back in july, to hold another rally. Elon musk made a cameo. Tell us more about what we heard. Well, this was part celebration, part a commemoration, where they, you know, gave tribute to one of trumps supporters who lost his life and the two others who were injured, just the harrowing and traumatic aspect of that day. Of course, it was also a Trump Rally, so it was filled with the hallmark features of a Trump Rally itself. We noted in our story at politico just about how this is a different circumstance for trump. Coming into this rally, he needs to win pennsylvania, a Mustwin Battleground State for the Harris And Trump campaigns. Part of this was about building up support in the region. His last visIt In butler, the site of the Assassination Attempt, trump was riding high in the polls, coming out of the convention, opened a lead, it was his race to lose. Then President Biden dropped out, and now we have a dead heat. Talk about where the Trump Team feels this race is, and what states do they feel the best about or perhaps those theyre worried about . When ive talked to people on the trump campaign, they express a kind of quiet confidence about things, and the polling theyre seeing internally across battleground states. Look, when you look at this race, it could not be any closer. It is hard to say if anyone is up or down at any one moment in this campaign. It really feels like, as were now in the month of october, its hard to imagine what sort of October Surprise might actually be able to move the needle at all in this race. Certainly already been a bunch of newsworthy events in the last couple days, first days of october. The polls, for now, remain unchanged. Political Respore Respondent for politico, meredith mcgraw.
