Those . Maturation areas youre going to die a dire warning, evacuations underway as the extremely dangerous Hurricane Milton nears landfall in florida, plus North Carolina is a disaster. They dont have the people and theyre complaining theres no people around to help disaster politics. Donald trump doubles down on his false claims about the Helene Response while Kamala Harris calls him out and continuing to fight israels Prime Minister vows to not let up amid fresh airstrikes that has hezbollah targets ive look at Capitol Hill on this tuesday morning. Good morning, everyone. Im Kasie Hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us Breaking News this morning, we have a brand new update just moments ago on Hurricane Milton, the Storm Weakening slightly overnight. Now, a major category four storm. It is expected to regain strength this morning could hit land Tomorrow Evening. It has been less than two weeks since the southeast was pummeled by Hurricane Helene and florida residents are battening down the hatches once again mass evacuations along the states West Coast are underway cities bracing for impact, distributing sandbags while still trying to remove debris left behind by helene. Milton currently forecast to make landfall as a major Hurricane Near Tampa on wednesday the Citys Mayor urging residents to take this seriously weighing was a wakeup call this is literally catastrophic and i can say without any drama to station whatsoever, if you choose to stay in one of those Evacuation Areas, you are going to die alright, lets get to our meteorologist, Derek Van Dam for more on this. Derrick, a very stark warning there. What are residents looking at right now were theyre facing according to the words from the national hurricane center, from the 5 00 a. M. Update just moments ago that this could potentially be the most catastrophic hurricane in westcentral for less, floridas history. They dont mince words right there getting right to the point. So as the mayor of tampa, theres a reason for that because were facing down the eye of a monster some weakening overnight, right . Category four, but were splitting hairs here in terms of the potential impacts of this storm it stayed north of the Yucatan Peninsula overnight. So spared the coastline there still a powerful category four hurricane and whats new here is that when you went to bed last night, these were still watches. Now we have warnings. These are Hurricane Warnings for much of the west central coastline but notice it also extends inland as well. This is going to be a Farreaching Storm that will make landfall late wednesday into the day on thursday. So this is going to be the most impactful time could still be a major hurricane likely will be also explicitly stated within the national hurricane centers 5 00 a. M. Update. Its a compact storm. Now, but its going through what is called a eyewall replacement cycle. And what that means is that the Wind Field will grow in Size State that it will grow to be double the size of what it is currently now. So impacts from this storm, especially hurricane and tropical Storm Force winds, will extend well outside the center. So that means the Storm Surge and the catastrophic Wind Potential will be felt well outside of the eye of the storm. In fact, we have extended this major hurricane Wind Field across much of the interior, including tampa, pinellas, and hillsborough sarasota, even further south and this is just incredible, ten to 15 feet of Surge Potential into Tampa Bay. Remember what helene did six to seven feet. If we get this its kind of realized Storm Surge potential. There will be homes that will be underwater, especially near the coastline, reiterating the timeframe here, this is late wednesday into thursday, even though we will start to feel the impacts from the storm through the course of the day on wednesday heavy rain, inland flash flooding, this will take down trees, knocked down power and cause significant problems for the state of florida, casey all right. Derek Van Dam for us this morning. Derek are going to be talking to throughout the next couple of hours and im sure into the coming day is as well as Hurricane Milton closes in on florida, the political fighting over the last hurricane is already spilling out into the Campaign Trail. Trump and his allies continue to spread false claim its about the bidenharris Administrations Response to helene. Despite bipartisan praise for the early resources deployed Show Urge almost 300 Billion for ukraine and yet theyre offering people 750 for immediate needs for the worst. But for the worst hurricane that anybody seen but more importantly than that is they dont have the people theyre not doing. Its a bad, its a very bad thing. This how would you do it differently . Id have tremendous team of people here. They dont have any people so the fact is that more than 3,000 federal responders are on the ground in North Carolina, according to Fema And Vice president harris, wants to make things clear theres a lot of this Information Being pushed out there by the former president about what is available in particular to the survivors and first of all, its extraordinarily irresponsible. Its about him, its not about you and the reality is that fema has oh many resources that are available to folks who desperately need them are joining us now to talk about this is mychael schnell, congressional reporter for the hill. Mychael. Good morning. Thanks very much for being with us this morning. Harris there, of course, talking about how Donald Trumps Donald Trump has said that, that americans will only get 750 because if there are affected by the storm when in fact thats just the beginning of aid, thats available to them. But big picture what does this say . I mean, theyre just this is more for tuesdays from the election this huge storm is bearing down on the country and this is becoming the center of the president ial campaign. Yeah, i mean kasie, i reality of excuse me, are political system right now. But the fact that we are so close to this election means that Anything And Everything could be politicized. And were seeing that happen right now. A, with Hurricane Helene. And now as Hurricane Milton is starting to make its way into florida, and i think that one reason he says because of the Devastation And Destruction that Hurricane Helene left. But another fact of the matter is that it hits Swing States. Were talking about places like georgia, places like North Carolina, florida, not a swing state, but a lot of democrats would have would have them tell you that they think they have possibility to make gains in that state. This cycle so the fact that its these three to three really key states that are so important to the Election Outcome that talking to voters in those states is so key. I think thats also why the response to this storm is taking such an outsized focus on the national political stage, but especially a politicized focus, as you mentioned, as we get into this final stage of the election cycle, michael the Harris Team put out a new ad around disaster issues targeted at Donald Trump. Lets watch and well talk about on the other side i, worked in the Trump Administration never in 1 Million years did i ever think that id be working in the White House with the president that didnt care about the american people he, would suggest not giving Disaster Relief to states that hadnt voted for them. I remember one time after a wildfire in california, he wouldnt send relief because because if theres a democratic state, so we went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas to show him, these are people who voted for you so there you have them laying out are attempting to lay out what Disaster Relief would look like under a second Trump Presidency for americans right . And kasie, this is one of those sort of Kitchen Table issues you can sort of make it out as one of them because Disaster Relief and Hurricane Relief efforts really does affect the american people that affects whether or not theyre able to get back to their daily life, whether or not they have the financial feasibility to fair with the destruction and the devastation which is why i think that were really seeing the campaigns lean into this issue. And again, its not something that you want to politicize, but it has become politicized because were so close to the election, its happening in this key region of the u. S. Where are those key Swing States . And also, you know, were in the final stretch of the election were in november. Some folks have said could the store be the October Surprise, right. Folks have been saying, what will this October Surprise look like . Will there be something that could shake up the Campaign Trail in the final stretch . Well, the campaigns are now spending a lot of time in these Swing States, not for the reason to go and shake a lot of hands and then have these joyful conversations. But to talk about the impact after the storm, its also an opportunity for the candidates to show a president ial side. And then We Saw the Backandforth Yesterday with florida governor Ron Desantis and Vice President Kamala Harris about a Phone Call to talk about the devastation and the destruction. Kamala harris maybe trying to show that she could have these Phone Calls and have this excel In This Moment of leadership during a time when the nation needs it. So i think that were seeing the both campaigns really lean into this because it just has so many so many factors that play into why its such an important matter. At this juncture of the election all right. Mychael schnell for us this morning, michael. Thank you very much for being with us.

We saw that playing out in beirut overnight with the Israeli Military striking hezbollah targets. There back, launching nearly 200 rockets into northern israel. Some intercepted the rest, falling in open areas my yemen kelemen, the campaign must not be stopped prematurely as long as the enemy threatens our existence. And the peace of our country, we will continue fighting prime Minister Netanyahu is still deciding how to retaliate against iran for its deadly missile attack. Last week, the u. S. Hoping for a concrete plan the challenge going forward its to turn tactical wins in battle into a strategy that secures israels people. And its future that takes real discipline. It takes courage, it takes foresight to match the conduct of war to a clear and sustainable set of objectives and to turn tactical advantage into enduring strategic gains. Cnns Jeremy Diamond joins us now live from Tel Aviv jeremy. Good morning to you at what do we expect to see from israel in these coming hours and days as the world waits to see how they plan to retaliate Israeli Military One year after the October 7 attacks, one year after or it launched its war in gaza, expanding Military Operations yet again, in the Gaza Strip over the course of the last few days, we have seen israeli troops mounts a renewed offensive in northern gaza, specifically targeted at the Jabalya Refugee Camp where the Israeli Military says hamas operatives have been reconstituting, but we should note that it is the fourth time now that these Israeli Military has been, has gone into jabalya troops on the ground doing so. And thats speaks to the questions that the united states has been asking for many, many months now and that is whether or not israel truly has any kind of longterm strategic plan for this war in gaza, but also for the other threats that it faces as we watch these really military now, mounting Ground Operations in southern lebanon. And of course, as we are waiting to see how israel will retaliate against iran, i recently interviewed on me, i alone the former head of the shin bet, israels domestic intelligence service, asked him this very question of whether or not israel is actually safer today than it was a year ago so one year later yes. Is israel safer novus norway israel, it is not safe for because if you look on the day off, tomorrow no one can tell you that we should not face a regional war in which Hezbollah And Iran and the West Bank and syria and the hoodies will not fight it will be a regional war with a global impact. So nobody can tell you today that we are safer than on 6 October very much asking this question of what exactly israel is achieving by continuing these fights with no clear End Game in sight. No alternative Governance Structure in gaza anywhere to be seen the united states is also right now trying to rein israel in as it relates to how it will retaliate against iran we heard president biden, of course, last week make clear that he opposes an israeli strike on iranian nuclear facilities. The israeli Defense Minister, yoav galants now heading to washington to meet with the secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin tomorrow. So those close consultations will continue and make no mistake, but there will certainly be questions as well about the kind of law longterm strategy that israel and the united states are looking at in the region as well. Kasie, jeremy, the question here really seems to be, Will Israel Hit some of the iran nuclear sites . Thats focus of the conversation here in washington im curious your perspective . The israeli side is their political pressure on netanyahu from people that he cares about at home to hit those sites. How does how is that playing out and how does it interact with the u. S. Ability or not to convince him to not hit those sites . Well, theres no question that the israeli Prime Minister is under pressure to go bigger than israel has gone before in terms of striking iran very, publicly. And in a way that will actually do some real damage to iranian facilities. Unlike the retaliation for irans april attacks, when israel merely showed iran that it new where the facilities were, that it knew that it could showed that it could actually hit them, that it could get through their Air Defenses this time the pressure on netanyahu is to do something big that will actually have an impact. Now, there are certainly folks calling for strikes on nuclear facilities. Its not clear that that camp has won out yet but ultimately it will be about doing something big that has impact. And there are other options at netanyahus disposal, of course, like hitting oil facilities, like hitting iranian regime targets as well. And so certainly as the israeli Defense Minister told me on the phone the other day, all options are still on the table. Kasie, right. Jeremy diamond for us in Tel Aviv this morning. Jeremy, very grateful. Well have you. Thank you very much for being there all right.
