Is set to hit Floridas Gulf Coast late Wednesday Night tampa, potentially in the bullseye in the Citys Mayor is not mincing words. She is warning people who dont evacuate, quote you are going to die it appears some are taking her very seriously with those foreboding words, hitting the roads and streaming out of the area before it gets too late. The storm described as extremely dangerous with sustained winds of 100 and 65 miles per hour. Milton, now the strongest storm to occur anywhere on the planet. This year. I want to bring in Cnn Meteorologist Chad myers. Chad, weve heard the strong words in the tampa mayor. What is this new advisory show . It shows that we lost a little bit of pressure. The pressure went up. Thats good news. Weve lost a little bit of Wind Speed from one at 165. Thats still category five okay. Were not were not bringing this down. Do cat two or one or tropical storm a very dangerous storm, but hurricane hunters, both noah and also Air Force have flown in the ai over the past couple of hours and found that weve lost a little bit of intensity that is great news because just in 36 hours from Yesterday Morning to this afternoon, we went from 50 to one at okay. So now were once 65 close enough. Heres the Hurricane Warnings are in effect for almost the entire central part the florida because the winds will be all the way to the East Coast at Hurricane Force. There will be millions of people without power and we know where a lot of these Power Company trucks, these mutual aid trucks are there in the carolinas trying to put the power back up here . But look at the purple. This is major category wins all the way from cedar key, all the way down to fort myers. Thats 110 plus. And then yes Hurricane Force all the way to cape all the way to Cape Canaveral all the way to the East Coast of daytona beach. We will have surge this is the next thing are we going to have Wind Damage absolutely. Are we going to have Surge Potential without a doubt because this is a category five. And even though the forecast is for it to go down a little bit, it will still carry a four to five surge with it ten to 15 feet of surge. How does that compare to helene where things were wiped out . Out around tampa . Six to seven now were talking ten to 15 if your house got damaged in helene, youve got a lot of work to do and you need to get out of there for sure about 48 hours before we make landfall, but certainly about 36 before we start seeing some damage. Chad myers thank you so much. We will have more information on that story later this hour. Really stunning, an unbelievable thank you so month. Less than a month away from election day. And if it sounds unbelievable to you that were that close, it says to me as well. With the Election Shifting and now into the highest of gears, Vice PresidentKamala Harris is shifting to a new strategy, walking in front of the camera after camera, microphone after microphone. And frankly interviewer after interviewer, a case in point attends appearance on 60 Minutes Tonight he said the reason so many voters dont know, you is that you have changed your position on so many things. You are against fracking. Now youre for it you supported looser Immigration Policies. Now youre tightening them up your for medicare for all. Now, youre not so many that people dont truly know what you believe or what you stand for. And i know youve heard that in the last four years, i have been Vice PresidentUnited States and i have been traveling our country. And i have been listening to folks and seeking what is possible in terms of Common Ground, i believe in building consensus. We are a diverse people geographically, regionally in terms of where we are in our backgrounds and what the american people do why is that we have leaders who can build consensus to decide for yourself at that answer was sufficient for you well, thats it down is all part of a broader media blitz. And after weeks of accusations from Donald Trump that shes incapable of giving interviews. Well, its already yesterday with the call her Daddy Podcast Poppy with women gen zers, and millennials. And tonight on 60 minutes, harris was asked tough questions on the economy, on immigration. And of course, the middle east, well talk more about that in just a moment tomorrow. Its going to head up to the Big Apple appearing on daytime talk show, The View also speak with Fame Shock Jock and sirius xm, Howard Stern and host of his own Radio Show as you well know. And even take a crack at late night on The Late Show with stephen colbert, air thursday, a Town Hall on spanishlanguage network, university own kind of a whirlwind, right but real talk for a moment. 60 minutes didnt university own Town Hall could bring some real substance. Its unlikely harris will get thrown a curveball, maybe on the other different mediums that shell be on. But that said each and every interview gives her a chance to define herself on her own terms. At this maybe ten, not 11th hour. And these are big and these are broad audience that were talking about here. And doing them does not come without risks. Of course, i mean, any mistake any botched answer. And it gives trump a new line of attack but it also gives harris a chance to go on the offensive and to push back on her critics takes might, for example, where she went up to trump for his dodging. His own 60 Minutes Interview if he is not going to give your viewers the ability to have a meaningful, thoughtful Conversation Questionandanswe R with you. Then watch his rallies youre going to hear conversations that are about himself and all of his personal grievances and what you will not hear anything about you. The listener joining me tonight. Laura barone lopez, he didnt political analyst and white House Correspondent for the pbs newshour, ramesh ponnuru, editor of the national review, and Ashley Allison, cnn legal commentator and former national Coalitions Director for the bidenharris 2020 ticket. Also, my twinning in black leather. Thank you. Laura, let me start with you here though, because shes been under a lot of pressure to have a number of interview. She was criticized very early on about being the only absent from the visible part of the biden administration as much as she could have been. And also now about top of the ticket, do you think that the 60 Minutes Interview, which is one of the tough issues had to date, is that going to quiet her critics . Her critics in dc and in the beltway, maybe not, but i think that there are voters that that answer really stood out to me in terms of their that answers ability to speak to them where she was talking about. I want to be someone who builds consensus and i say that because i was just in arizona, i talked to a two time Trump Voter there and a number of others who had voted for trump in the past. But this two time Trump Voter, moderate, lifelong republican woman, who considers herself in alignment with harris on abortion, but isnt necessarily convinced shes going to vote for her yet because she wanted to hear more from harris about what exactly she would do to find compromise on a host of issues how exactly she would work with republicans whether its on immigration, whether its on the economy. And so harris kind of sounded like that voter in that answer. So i wonder if that voter is listening to the 60 Minutes Interview and seeing someone in harris who may be willing to compromise with the party that this voter has been a pardon entire life. Well, she talked about immigration with they see minutes and gave her response about how the numbers had shifted. Shall we say when they took office, listen was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place . The policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem. Okay. But by members did quadruple the Numbers Today because of what we have done we have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half. Should we have done by half . But we need congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem. Of course, ashley, his question was, should you do that sooner . Is now too late for some voters to believe that they have the recipe for Course Correction it may be for some voters, but i think her answer is accurate. Is that congress needs to act. Congress still has not acted. And when you actually figure out why Congress Hasnt acted is because the person at the top of the ticket for the republican party doesnt want the problem to be fixed. I think these interviews are smart i dont know if the voter in arizona that you were just talking about is going to see 60 minutes, but she might see The View. She might see call your dad, call her daddy she might see stephen colbert. You got to see one of them have gotten somewhere. And if he doesnt see a lot, its gonna see it on Social Media somewhere so ask and you shall receive people said, do interviews and now shes on a blitz. Does that mean criticism is going to stop . Know, shes a candidate, thats the nature of politics, but that doesnt mean you stop playing your game and doesnt go on offense and you doesnt mean you tell the american people what you would do for them the theme though throughout her entire candidacy now has been in for biden when he was top of ticket, what would you do now that you didnt do that, you couldnt have done in those first three years . Thats a question lingering that will be the very ammunition republicans use and it sets her up with a bunch of nowin questions. So Bill Whitaker, who i thought did an excellent job asking succinct and pointed questions three times came back at her with a question about whether the early Immigration Policies of this administration were a mistake and what she going to say she cant say yes. Shes not going to shes not going to repudiate biden, but she also cant defend those policies which put them in such a political whole. So she evaded that three times because he doesnt have a good answer on it. I would say that her answer on the Economy Isnt is another place where theres a political vulnerability for the harris team. And she hasnt quite figured out a way to address it talking about macroeconomic indicators as she did, that is ive seen many, many politicians talk about macroeconomic indicators using those words. And many voters glaze over when you add the word macroeconomic land does not land, even if its true and shes got a bit of a case there. It doesnt land well, i doubt Howard Sterns going to talk about macroeconomic and were broadly, you might, he might surprise everyone that point. I mean, he might hes very sharp and tomorrow, Howard Stern actually Interviews Harris and i want you to listen to what he had to say about trump just a few weeks ago i dont agree with trump politically. I dont i dont think he should be anywhere near the White House i dont hate the guy. I hate the people who voted for him. I think theyre stupid. I dont think i do. Ill be honest with you. I have no respect for you i mean, i dont know at what point he wants someone who cant even accept the fact that alright, so tell us what doesnt like. Move on. Is this, the new basket of deplorables that harris has to navigate around. What Howard Sterns to, you know, see if she says something like that. And so far she hasnt said anything like that. She hasnt said that she hates Trump Voters. Shes in fact trying to win over Trump Voters went over Nikki Haley voters. Thats been one of them the most aggressive elements of her campaign so far. So look, i dont know that hes necessarily going to make those comments and the interview with her because hes not hes not going to provoke that Conversation And Vote shes got to distance herself from it because everything she said tonight on 60 minutes about Finding Unity and Common Ground would be he undermined if she did. I mean, she could theres a perfect answer for this like Howard Stern, you dont have to hate people who disagree with you. Im trying to convince you to see that i can be your leader. If you dont disagree with me and i run, i win, i still will be your president too. Theres like a perfectly Workshop Answer for this. She does not have to take Howard Sterns bait, bait and i dont think she will because that is just not the essence of who she is as a leader, there have been so many opportunities where she could disparage people who have not supported her and she doesnt isnt a lesson learned though because she obviously is aware even if shes not the one saying it, but there is a perception that there is an antagonistic viewpoint towards somebody who is a trump supporter. And that has been used by Trump Strategists is suggest. They dont like you. They dont think you are smart and they go on with this. Shes aware of that. How does she confront that perception to get them under her full well, i think she and President Biden have repeatedly said were talking about maga republicans, not about like republicans or people who have been lifelong republicans think she also said it at the convention where she really made pointed appeals saying if you feel as though you potentially Cant Vote for trump a second time or a third time that you have space in my campaign. I mean, shes tried to surround herself with very conservative republicans like Liz Cheney Adam kinzinger, and say, look, i can work with some of the most conservative republicans has said she may even put a republican and her cabinet. And i think that is how shes trying to really make this case to people who have voted republican in the past, that shes trying to build a coalition. I mean, it may upset some progressives, but shes trying to win over voters who have ive never even voted for a democrat, sometimes in their entire life. I wonder if the gun comments that shes made recently also is going to increase her electability among some populations. Listen to what she had to say about being a gun and when and why did you get it . I have a glock and ive had it for quite some time and look, at my background in Law Enforcement and so there you go. Have you ever fired it . Yes of course at a Shooting Range . Yes, of course, i have why are you nodding profusely, right . Ashley this is applied stereotype to black women right now that we dont have the right to own firearms and protect ourselves like every other american Kamala Harris has been very clear she supports the second amendment. She but she also supports common Sense Gun and violence laws to stop mass shootings in churches and Grocery Stores and at schools. So sure. I mean, i dont think her that answer is for a republican. I think that answer is the truth and most people who do have guns, i hope they have gone to the Shooting Range and have trained so they can use them safely. So i think this is a little bit of an application of like a box that you might want to keep the black woman in, that she saying, im not fitting in it. You balked at that perception that this being an issue with race, what was your reaction just now, we know i just thought that a lot of people who worry about the democrats being too far left on guns are going to look at that answer sure think this is somebody who was perfectly happy supporting a ban on handguns in san francisco, supporting her last president ial campaign, mandatory confiscation of certain kinds of weapons and commonly held weapons and but she doesnt want to have these rules apply to her. And i dont think that thats going appeal to those voters at all. I think its going to regard theyre going to regard it as this is the Ruling Class
