Transcripts For CNN CNN Newsroom 20240929

News you are in the Cnn Newsroom. Im Jessica Dean in New York and we begin with Breaking News in growing fears of what may be next in the middle east, just moments ago, has bloc announcing it launched long range missiles from lebanon toward jerusalem. After the confirmed death lets top leader Hassan Nasrallah and in israel in an israeli airstrike in Beirut Yesterday tonight, there are questions about what remains of Hezbollahs Leadership and what a potential response might look like. For Israels Part moments ago, prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said israel has arrived at a quote, historic turning point, saying that israel is killing was necessary for achieving its goals me, she up kid bono in iran or the middle east. The long arm of israel will not reach and today, you already know about true. This is a machine the wreck could that be all of this is the u. S. State department is ordering nonemergency employees and their Family Members to leave lebanon immediately we have Team Coverage for you. Are Nic Robertson has the latest from Tel Aviv, israel. Were going to begin though with Ben Wedeman men who is in the lebanese capital of beirut tonight. Ben, what is the latest on the ground from where you are since about half an hour past midnight. Is that there have been sporadic israeli airstrikes, mostly on the Southern Suburbs they were particularly sporadic in the early hours of the morning. Then threw out the afternoon more freak of less frequent, but but certainly what it represents is the continuation of this israeli strategy of really targeting the Southern Suburbs where hezbollah has a presence. In addition to, of course, Hundreds Of Thousands of civilians. Now at this point the israeli spokesman the arabic spokesman for the Military Put out a notice warning the residents of South Lebanon southern beirut, and the Beqaa Valley to leave anywhere where were they think his bella weapons and other material . Our being stored were talking about if you look at the population to prevail for population of those three areas, were talking about 2 Million people now. I spoke to a friend who actually went to the Southern Suburbs. He told me this the areas largely empty except for some young men. And we know that Hundreds Of Thousands of people have left southern lebanon. That bekaa valley. Also people have left, but theres still many people left behind. So this warning from the Israeli Military, two people in this area would indicate there are more strikes on the way, and there does seem to be a preference among the Israeli Military to strike at night. Now, in addition, listen to this one right now, im going to hear an israeli drone over the Southern Suburbs as far as this situation goes for civilians its many of them are who left this part of beirut have, are camped out in parks, on sidewalks. Some of them have found shelter in churches and mosques, and even a football stadium. According to the lebanese health ministry, since those pagers for tax tuesday before last, the Death Toll here in lebanon has reached 1030. Thats a preliminary Death Toll because it believed there are still many bodies under the ruins now 1,030, 10001030 dead is getting very close to the number of dead from the 2006 war between Israel And Hezbollah. It lasted 34 days now as tensions continued to boil, the united States Embassy North fourth of beirut has announced that some employees and their Family Members have been ordered to leave the country. The embassy also posted online of forum for us citizens in lebanon who are seeking assistance to leave the country, which would indicate hey that there is perhaps a plan to start an evacuation of those nationals in addition, of course, the embassy In Beijing North of beirut is now had extra security provided by the lebanese army. The worry is that given the web weapons hes been used against his butler provided by the United States, that there will and could be a backlash against us nationals, us interests, and the embassy itself. Jessica. All right. Ben, thank you so much. I want to go to nic in tel well leave. Nick tell us more about what youre seeing there. Intelligibly know that hezbollah has launched those Rockets At Jerusalem and i think a question on a lot of people both mind is what is the likelihood of a potential Ground Incursion into lebanon yeah, we kind of got a sense of the likelihood or a possibility of a Grounding Corrosion when the Defense Minister announced that it had a meeting with the Army Chief of staff general herzi halevi, some of the senior intelligence officials as well there they said they had an operational assessment and of the situation along the northern border, plus the possible increase of what the idf or what the troops could be doing along the border theres the lead was a lot of signaling over the past few days that video of troops newly arrived than you lee called Up Reservists arriving, getting their equipment, all of that the messaging is continuing creating that impression that theres a possibility for, maybe for a Ground Incursion or for offer some sort of additional deployment of the troops along the border. Now off blitzer just in the past couple of hours, asked peter lerner, idf spokesman, about that possibility of a Ground Incursion amount of different tools that we have in our toolbox. Ground operations is one of them. We are preparing for that if it is required, if we received the instructions. But of course, the primary goal with regard to the front with hezbollah is to restore safety and security. So lets sixth the thousand israelis that have been evacuated from the front precisely because of the aggression actions of hezbollah can go home safely and securely so the sort of big Picture Message from the idf at the moment is theyre ready for offensive and defensive actions and defensive that sort of implies dealing with the missiles that coming into the country. Now, theres been a big expectation that hezbollah would respond today that perhaps they would put their big missiles into the center of israel. Big cities like Tel Aviv today. Whats happened late this evening . That was an incoming missile into the West Bank towards jerusalem. Sirens went off in jerusalem. But this missile was intercepted and landed in Part And Midst Pay Highgate which is a settlement in the West Bank, West Bank, and vast majority arab Population Settlement the israeli population. So the question then becomes whats hezbollah targeting this tiny settlement inside the West Bank with all the risks, risk of hitting the arab population that surround that area. Its not clear precisely what the target was, but the medical rescue services, iran, the scenes so that they went to three different locations where there were some impact of shrapnel or missile. Not clear there were fires there, but they said they didnt report any casualties all right. Ben wedeman in beirut, Nic Robertson in Tel Aviv. Our thanks to both of you will continue to check in with you both as this continues joining us now is the former us ambassador to the United Nations and former trump national Security Adviser John Bolton ambassador, thanks so much for being here with us this afternoon. We appreciate it glad to be with you i just first want to get your reaction to the confirmation that Hassan Nasrallah hello, has been killed. And i also want to see what you think the current State Of Play is in this conflict between Israel And Hezbollah so, i think its a great victory for israel, for the west as a whole against the kind of terrorism that hezbollah has been engaged in for 40 years now i think theres a lot more to do, although a lot of the other top hezbollah leaders have also been eliminated. But i think when you combine this with what people are calling up variation, Grim Beeper from ten days or so ago these are important steps, but the real issue here is hezbollahs unbelievably large large Missile Arsenal and neither the northern border of israel and the land next to that will be saved are really the country well be safe until that Missile Capability is essentially eliminated. And i think the real question at this moment is that Israels Goal here. Are they going to back away . Wave from it under us pressure, right . And so that brings us to what does come next. And i know No One has a Crystal Ball here, but to your point there are some 60,000 israelis and the idf is saying theyre objective here is to allow them to go back home to their homes on the northern border there with lebanon, where they have not been able to live because of the incoming Rocket Attacks over the last year do you think a Ground Incursion will be necessary to achieve that goal i think almost certainly if thats what theyre really serious about, if you go back to the two thousand, six war with hezbollah, which by the way began actually with hamas coming out of the Gaza Strip and taking some hostages and then hezbollah doing the same and history interestingly repeats itself. But at that point, the israelis went in up to the litani river, basically, the entire southern part of lebanon and since the people who have been displaced as 60,000 israeli as you refer to. Were facing rocketing by really short range unguided rockets, system, systems. In order to protect that part of the country eliminating hezbollahs capabilities south a little tiny river is so is critical and i dont think the israelis can do that unless theyre in there on the ground and so we have seen over the last two weeks now, starting with the beepers and paid jurors exploiting that you referred to various strikes since then. Now the killing of nasrallah, weve seen all of this unfold and im curious what kind of impact you i think that has had, obviously on the Command And Control structure of hezbollah and their ability to respond. Now well, i think its been very damaging, but but no No One is irreplaceable. Even nasrallah although hes the leader of the a team of terrorism and it was entirely justifiable target i think youve got to remove Hezbollahs Capability if israel and the region as a whole are going to be safe. And the first step to do that is to destroy this extraordinarily large Missile Arsenal. I mean, the Cia Factbook says that it could be up to 150,000 and there are any number of public estimates its out there, some even larger than that of which may be 10,000 have been used since the Hamas Attack on october the seventh. This is extraordinary capability that hezbollah has and as i say, as long as its there, as long as there is somebody who can push the Buttons Israel remains unsafe and that doesnt even get to for the question of iran, which is the paymaster, the Armor Equipment Trainer financer for the who houthis hamas, hezbollah, the Shia Militia groups iraq and syria the real source of this conflict is in tehran, which leads me to my next question because i did want to ask you about what you think iran will do next. Will they get involved . Will what, what might their steps be its very difficult to predict, but i do think what were seeing since the israelis killed ismail haniyeh, a Hamas Leader in a supposedly secure Compound And Tehran is that the iranian leadership is very uncertain. One but to do their credibility is systematically being destroyed by these israeli successes. And to get that credibility back with their terrorist proxies, they need to take a strong stand against israel really impose as a heavy cost for what the israelis have done, but they are, i think petrified in tehran that this time the israelis will not succumb to the west White House pressure. They will not take the win, whatever that means this time, if iran itself gets involved israel will strike hard in iran as they would be entirely justified in doing. So. I think the iranians, they dont fear the United States these days. But i think they fear israel. And you obviously look around his tried to kill you they certainly i know youve had your own personal in relationship with that country and its government. But to your point, i hear what youre saying that you believe that israel may that now israel, it sounds like what youre saying is that israel has essentially made them fearful that if they do try to escalate that israel will just not listen to the u. S. And move forward doing what they think is baked needs to be done this is how you deal with terrorists. These people are barbarian save demonstrated that time and time again and you can talk sweetly to them and theyve got a Smiley Face new president , who talks about negotiation but, but what they really fear is the security, the regime itself and the nuclear weapons program, both of which i think should be at risk sir, John Bolton, thanks so much for your time today. We appreciate it thanks for having our breaking News Coverage continues to ahead how the u. S.

And this is cnn and back to our Breaking News now, in the middle east, hezbollah saying it launched long range missiles from lebanon toward jerusalem saturday, this all comes after the leader of the iranbacked group, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an israeli strike in Beirut Friday cnns Oren Liebermann is live now in washington and oren, israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called nasrallahs killing, quote, a necessary condition for achieving the goals they have set walk us back to get here where we are today. And help us understand how we got to this point in time. Of course, jessica, for months now the u. S. Through its envoy, almost hochstein has tried to get a Ceasefire Agreement in place between Israel And Hezbollah, but as long as hezbollah and Hassan Nasrallah tie to ceasefire in lebanon to a ceasefire in gaza that will become increasingly difficult than at least as we have seen over the course so the past ten months virtually impossible. And that meant from israels perspective, that rockets kept coming in up until just a couple of weeks ago, israel effectively tried to manage that problem. Those rockets were intercepted, drones were intercepted. There was a measure of retaliation. There was what we would have called for tat. But after ten months of that and with much of the war in gaza, already prosecuted, israel essentially had had enough. And you saw that very clearly with prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus statements, not only that, ill point out for years here since The End of the 2006 war between Israel And Hezbollah really, israel has known another war or believed another war with hezbollah was coming unlike, for example, in gaza where israel didnt see that coming and that was very plainly obvious over the course of October 7 and the ensuing weeks israel believed the war with hezbollah was coming, and therefore carried out the work on intel, carried out the preparations and the planning that you see have so quickly played out over the course of the past two weeks, israel saw that it had the opportunity to go after Hezbollahs Leadership the u. S. Believed it was close to a Ceasefire Agreement. In fact, us officials were quite optimistic about that just a few days ago israel, netanyahu had very much other plans. Its worth pointing out that when netanyahu it talks about his stated goals, the goal is not the elimination of hezbollah. It is not the destruction of hezbollah that would be an incredibly difficult task under a bridge too far right now for israel is claiming the goal is to return some 60,000 residents to their homes in northern israel. And that is where israel, thats where were waiting to see how israel decides its to carry that out from this point on having destroy Hezbollahs Leadership, its also worth pointing out that in terms of what were seeing from hezbollah israel believed hezbollah could launched thousands of rockets a day for a sustained period of time in a war. And thats not really what weve seen from hezbollah so far. Its hundreds of rockets a day so very different than what the Experts Patient had been for a larger war between Israel And Hezbollah. Yeah and oren both israeli and us officials say that the us was notified just moments ahead of the strike and the us did not play a role in that operation that killed nasrallah. What does that tell you and what more are you learning about that relationship clearly a matter of some matter of tension here between the u. S and israel when it comes to operations in lebanon, part of that is probably attributed to the fact that israel was rather the us was very much focused on trying to get a ceasefire in place. The u. S has been focused basically since October 7, and trying to make sure there wasnt an expansion of the war. And it believed that for israel to go after a target like Hassan Nasrallah would have essentially fan the flames of warfarin risks, risked the regional war that the u. S. Ive been trying to avoid. So that may be the Reason Israel didnt telegraph much in advance really advanced at all what its plans were and that it was going after nasrallah. In fact, it was just moments before with the aircraft already in the air that Defense Minister Yoav Galant told us secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin that the strike was going to happen. So no real time for consultations or pushing back and it seems that was very much Israels Intent in this case. And its not the first time we have seen this level of tension. It was just 11 or 12 days ago that israel told the us something was going to happen in lebanon, providing absolutely no details. And then we saw the pager explosions. There was no heads up about the walkietalkie explosions a day later, israel is very much playing its cards very closely. Even as we have Sehis Escalate quite, quite significantly over the course of the past two weeks and so what is the u. S. Do now they continue and have continued the biden administration to try to push for a diplomatic solution here what more are you hearing from the u. S. Side of all this may have won apologize, jessica, im having ifb issues and i wasnt able to hear that. Thats okay. Alright. Oren liebermann. Thank you. So much from washington, dc. We appreciate it.

The race for the White House, he is going to come down to the wire with both candidates are busy on the Campaign Trail this weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning out west this weekend she visited the Southern Border On Friday in arizona today, shes Holding Fundraisers in her home, state of california. Meantime, former President Donald Trump will make his pitch to midwestern voters holding an event in wisconsin and joining us now cnns Steve Contorno, who is on the trail with former president. Still the Vice President , accused trump of playing quote, political games when it comes to Border Security. What are you hearing in his Campaign Event Today little trump telling his crowd that he believes immigration is the most important issue of this election. In fact, he said it was quote, more important than anything having to do with the economy which continue he is to come up in polls as the most important issue on many voters mind, but trump believing that gratian should be the most pressing issue of this race. And he has chosen to deliver this Message And Prairie duchene, wisconsin, which is sort of an interesting backdrop. Its, its a community of just 6,000 people, really small parts of southwest wisconsin, but its a community that it was recently rocked according to local police, by incident involving a noncitizen who allegedly attack a woman and her daughter, and domestic dispute of sorts. And its an issue to its R Incident that has been seized by republicans to make the case that the issues at the border are affecting people all over the country, including in little towns. In fact, theres a signage on the wall here this is egn the invasion of small town america. Now this stop, of course, comes just days after harris visited the border. You can just a day afterwards. And trump are dressed its what he saw at the border and her appearance there. Take a listen to what he told his Crown Border Czar harris went to the border to lie and the most shameless and horrible way possible at the very site where she released so much suffering, misery, and death there is no greater act of disloyalty than to extinguish the sovereignty of your own nation right through your border. No matter what lie. She tells Kamala Harris can never be forgiven for her erasing our border and she must never be allowed to become president of the United States do they wanted wisconsin, of course, is a key battleground and so much so that trump will actually be back here on tuesday for an events walk. You just take a look at these Cnn Poll of polls in wisconsin. This race is well within the margin. No error with no clear leader. So these events with Donald Trump that were going to see here over the next coming months where hes going to try to convince these voters here are going to be more and more frequent and you can expect him to spend quite a bit of time here. Jessica. Alright, Steve Contorno for us there in wisconsin. Thanks so much and joining us now to discuss the latest on the state of the race is cnn senior Political Analyst and Senior Editor at the atlantic thank ron brownstein. Ron, good to see you as always yesterday, we saw on friday, Vice President Harris Go into the border and an attempt to turn the tables on trump by embracing the Border Security as a key issue. Do you think this is the right move for the campaign . Well, look, i mean the biden administration did make a significant Policy Shift and harris is now extending and even expanding that. It took i think the Biden Ministration a long time to recognize that the problem on the border had fundamentally changed from people trying to sneak across in the dark of Night And Kind of disappear into the population in phoenix. Or la, to people who are presenting themselves for asylum and trying to get into the Asylum Process which as you know, is backlog of for multiple years and people could stay here for years while their cases are being decided. Biden significantly change the standards by which people are now being judged for asylum or even have the opportunity to pursue asylum. And as a result, encounters on the border are down enormously mean were talking to 200, 250,000 for The End of last year. About 50,000 a month. Now in this year. And as you saw in Harriss Speech, she is committing to continue in this direction, the political little bit like inflation though the political, even though the conditions now are better, the overhang of what happened earlier and bidens presidency is still a headwind against her, but shes leaving No Doubt that she will continue in the direction that the administration has because now pivoted to belatedly in the eyes of many of a nonetheless rather forcefully why do you think americans continue to give trump the edge on that issue well i think its like inflation. I think what they what they saw earlier in the biden administration is you know, they did not approve of kind of the trends of what was happening at the border. And i think theres probably a general information on the quantity or national security issues where people might trust republicans since more there kind of talking past Each Other though, because you saw in Harriss Speech on friday that shes talking about making the Asylum Process work better, hiring more judges, hiring more Border Patrol agents to make the initial determinations . Yes. Making it tougher to claim asylum, but not shutting it off. Whereas i think with trump what were seeing king really you know, that that isnt really his fault. He doesnt want the Asylum Process to be more streamlined or more effective he wants fewer immigrants in the country, especially i think immigrants who arent white. I mean, you had j. D. Vance this week, say that haitian immigrants who are here under the two protected Status Program are illegals the tps program was signed into law by george hw bush, a republican president at nine senators, voted to create it including Mitch Mcconnell and Chuck Grassley and Orrin Hatch and Strom Thurmond for people who remember those Names Trouble one point talked about a constitutional amendment to limit the share of the population that is foreign born that i think is really the goal here, not just kinda streamline or make the immigration System Work better, but to simply have less immigrants come in the country and implicitly to have less demographic change that is changing the Complexion Of American Life i also want to get your thoughts. We got some new polling this week. On the Sunbelt States, new Cnn Polling and specifically on North Carolina, which i think you said last weekend, has historically been Heartbreak Hill for democrats in the last several go rounds but it is interesting, isnt it that we keep seeing the polling coming out . It is very close and you do have that X Factor now of that governors race, what do what do you think of the State Of Play there in North Carolina right now . So the number of people should think about from the Cnn Poll is 39. The poll had harris at 39 of white voters are to other polls that came out last week one by marist. Won by meredith college, also had a right around 40, 41 of white voters the general Rule Of Thumb among democrats is that you hit 40 of white voters in North Carolina. You will win because of the large minority population, but the Cnn Poll had them only tied because she was not winning the usual share of black voters, only around 79 of black voters, by the way, this is the exact same pattern we saw in the New York times polls released today about michigan and wisconsin the Fox Poll released about pennsylvania. All of these polls show democrats slightly below slightly below where harris, slightly below where democrats usually are among nonwhite voters at or above Biden Share among white voters voters. So the question is, is that Support Trump is drawing among nonwhite voters real in polls . Are capturing something significant thats changing. And even if it is, can he hold it All The Way to the Finish Line . And conversely, harris continued to run at least as well as biden did in 2020, among whites, its the offsetting Movement Jessica of white voters and People Color that is producing these polls showing all of these states are absolutely on the knifes edge. They are so, so close to that end, you have a recent piece in the atlantic, the undecided voters are not who you think they are, and you talk about the differences between certain undecided and persuadable voters to tell us about that yeah. Look, i think when most people think about undecided voters, certainly when the media talks about under cited voters, we think in our head about people who are pretty certain to vote, but uncertain who they are going to vote for. When in fact, the much bigger pool of undecided voters are people who are pretty certain who they would vote for. But uncertain if they are going to vote even in 2020, which have the highest turnout in any election since 1,900 before women had the right to vote 80 Million eligible people did not vote so the pool of nonvoters that both parties are competing for really not so much competing against Each Other, but competing with staying home. That is the real prize. And if you look at the site, if you look across the battleground states, i had access to some data thats rarely discussed in public from a Targeting Firm called catalyst it shows that the voters who are highly likely to Support Trump but uncertain whether theyre going to vote at all, are predominantly preponderantly whites without a college degree. While harris is pool of voters who fit that same description in the Rust Belt states are in the Sunbelt States are predominantly people of color, young voters, latino black, and in the Rust Belt states, its a combination of those voters and noncollege white women in many ways you know, the irony of modern politics is that even at a point where we are so irrevocably and passionately decide divided between the parties. It is the people who are uncertain whether they care enough to participate at all who probably we will tip the balance in The End in these few states that will decide our next president. Its an, its an incredible fact. Ron brownstein. Thank you so much. Good to see you thanks having me still ahead.

This cnn here in new York City embattled mayor Eric Adams will head back to court next week on friday, the mayor pleaded not guilty to five federal corruption charges during a court appearance. Those charges include bribery, wire fraud, as well as accepting gifts, free luxury travel, and Campaign Donations from foreign powers. Adams, who was first elected to office in 2021, has said he has no plans to resign. Cnns Gloria Pazmino is following this story. There are so many layers to this gloria, and there has been strong pushback from adams, attorney tell us more about that. Yeah. Jessica, the layers of this story are going to be extremely important. And the reason i say that is because were starting to see just the contours of what Eric Adams is. Defense is going to look like because we heard from his lawyer on friday after the mayor was arraigned and released, we are starting to hear here much of what the mayor has already said over the past two days that these gifts that he received word just gives that the airline upgrades that he received or just airline upgrades and that some of what is alleged in the complaint in the indictment happened along before he came he became mayor and that therefore he he was not using his authority or his power to pressure anybody into doing what the government alleges. I want you to take a listen to alex spiro. He is representing the mayor in this federal, in this federal case and he spoke to reporters shortly after that arraignment took a listen this Case Isnt even a real case. This is the Airline Upgrade Corruption case. There are no emails, text messages, or any he corroboration whatsoever that the mayor knew about anything having to do with these Campaign Donations. The entire body of evidence is one staffer one staffer that says there was a conversation what you have not learned is that that staffer has lie and the government is in possession objection. Of that lie donations are also going to be a critical part of the defense, jessica, because they are going to say that yes, there may or receive these donations from foreign nationals, but that he did not direct those staffers to theyre citing in the testimony of a staffer that we know is is a cooperating with the government. So thats what Alec Spiral was referring to there to ask to Gloria Pazmino with latest for us. Thank you very much.
