communicator in the last 22 months or so childless cat lady, i would bake. >> there's a lot that was years ago so he's better than that doubled and tripled down on on that. >> so we'll see you on tuesday. >> i mean i mean, the thing that i keep coming back to you with that is just how much that particular thing has broken through with normal people. the childless cat ladies issue, jds fault is communications, i think is that he's a little bit too online. he's a little bit too aware of what right-wing twitter says. he has to get passed. that's a challenge for anybody running for president in this generation. he's not going to be the last case ended it for president or vice president who has that problem, people have grown up on twitter. he needs to aim at that middle of the electorate. this conflicted, well, that's why we ended up with the pets in springfield vance being very online and speaking, i mean, i think you're absolutely right both parties have problems with people who are way too addicted to twitter. in fact, you just interviewed someone who was like poster child of that all right, guys. >> thank you very much for being here today. i really appreciate it. thanks to all of you are joining us as well. i'm kasie hunt. don't go

anywhere. cnn news central starts right now overnight nearly 500 killed 1,600 wounded as israel amped up strikes against hezbollah in lebanon, the u.s. >> race to try and stop the conflict from exploding into a wider war. >> heading to the border in what could be would be her first visit to the border since becoming the democratic nominee. that's driving the harris campaign's travel plans now. >> and it could hit as a major hurricane. and soon florida bracing for what could be the most powerful storm of the season. >> i'm john berman with kate baldwin and sarah sidner. >> this is cnn news central

breaking overnight. >> israel intensifying airstrikes on hezbollah in lebanon, sparking major concerns the conflict could spiral into a wider regional war. over 500 people have been killed in the strike so far. in what's being described as the deadliest day in lebanon in nearly two decades, has been firing back overnight, launching more than 100 rockets from southern lebanon into northern israel so far, no one has been injured from those rockets. all of this coming as president biden prepares to it the rest world leaders on the global stage at the united nations, just hours from now, cnn international diplomatic editor nic robertson is in tel aviv. nic, a ground invasion would spell out war has israeli prime minister netanyahu ruled that out at this point? >> his idf spokesman was precisely all that question.

>> and he didn't rule it out. and neither has the prime minister rule that out for the israeli government. it does seem that all options are on the table when it comes to a ground incursion, what they're talking about they say is whatever it takes to allow those 60 plus thousand israelis to get back to their homes closed for northern border. and the way that that has been spelled out is hezbollah hasta pulled back from the border regions are strikes that israel has had today into lebanon. there has been two waves of them, airstrikes deep into the north of lebanon in the bekaa valley

>> israel today some of those landings as far as sort of 30 miles inside israel, some closer to the border, fires sparked and some areas are one man when a miss i'll hit a road got moderate shrapnel injuries and was evacuated to a hospital here according to men but by and large there is no significant toll on the israeli civilian population across the border and lebanon, as you say, 558. now, people killed since yesterday, and we understand that more than 90, uh, women and 50 of them children the tension remains extremely high. there are regular now sirens sounding in the north of israel along, along the border and towns even deeper into the country all right, so what are you learning about the u.s. military's response to all of this and what's been happening in on the border with israel and lebanon

diplomacy. the focus that we're hearing from lebanese officials is that there is still active diplomacy underway. we know that u.s. is involved. the french are involved other nations are involved. but when it comes to troop deployment, what hr understanding from us officials that they are sending a small number of us troops into the region because of an abundance of caution and because of the upscale of tensions at the moment. but what they're not saying, what officials aren't saying is precisely how many troops they are, what? soda troops they might be, what they're capable of or importantly, where they're going. but clearly this represents president biden on all that is happening there in the middle east. nic robertson. thank you so much. appreciate your reporting there from tel aviv for us. >> yeah. and president biden's

is preparing to speak to world leaders this morning. his final address to the united nations general assembly. and this dangerous moment in the middle east likely to overshadow most other topics that are going to be coming up during this gathering this time around. cnn's kayla tao, she is out front at the united nations for us in new york first and foremost, how how is the escalation in the middle east impacting events in new york? >> okay. senior administration officials acknowledged that the escalation in the middle east is going to be front and center for world leaders in their discussions both on the sidelines of the assembly here in new york, but also in the formal remarks to the forum throughout the course of the week i see senior officials say that these discussions are going to be focused on stabilizing the situation with president biden being briefed around the clock and trying to present a further urgency for the need for peace in the region throughout the course of the week, we are going to hear from the leaders of qatar and a

run there speaking today. but then later in the week on thursday, we're expecting to hear from the palestinian president as well as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and so the focus is really on what they plan to say about this situation as it stands on thursday and what they see as any potential for a ceasefire that the u.s administration has been working so hard behind the scenes to try to get in place, but it just underscores how much has changed since president biden addressed this assembly, this time last year, then the focus was really on rallying world leaders around coming to ukraine's defenses and trying to shore up support here at home for a massive funding package for ukraine's defense and well, president zelenskyy is expected to address the un security council today and the assembly later in the week, us officials will say this. they say the world has changed and it's gotten more difficult in many ways. but they say that is the reason why president biden is continuing to place a focus on the partnerships that he's four to five in the last four years. and those partnerships are they say more important

than ever? >> and kevin, what more are you hearing about president biden's speech specifically today well, he's going to talk about what officials described as a very difficult year in the middle east at the first, nearly full year of this raging war between hamas and israel. >> and so he's going to talk about that. he's going to talk but the need for a ceasefire, but also peace efforts more broadly around the world with wars raging and more global flashpoints emerging by the day. but he's going to talk about coalitions and partnerships and allies and the importance of those relationships, not just in the middle east. also when it comes to nato, for instance ukraine and protecting and keeping stable relations in the indo-pacific as well. and so we're expecting to hear him hit on some of these very familiar themes, but also use it more as a capstone addressed if cement his legacy on foreign policy to talk about what he's done over the last four years on climate policy. he's taking a meeting later in the day.

with a coalition of countries trying to fight fentanyl trafficking. all issues that he's worked on in the last four years as he tries to cement his place in history on the world stage kayla. >> thank you so much for being there much more to come from this from the united nations and president biden's big final address before the general assembly this morning. jump, right. >> vote for me, or you will lose your farm. the new message from donald trump the direct path right at florida breaking this morning, hurricane and storm surge watches up and down the florida coast, bracing for the most powerful storm of the season. and attention kmart shoppers, words that might never be spoken again, a onetime retail giant says goodbye to his big famous stools >> cnn is taking a break from breaking news to air. >> have i got news for you? >> breaking news. i'm getting a

saying publicly what people are saying. >> turns out, i have enough money. i could just shut up but baptists 5 on cnn donald trump is headed to georgia today after telling pennsylvanians early voting is stupid as he tried to get them to vote early. >> cnn's alayna treene is with us this morning, sometimes best-laid plans alayna, don't don't work out quite so well. >> that's right. it was quite a contradictory statement actually, from donald trump on this. he had first told pennsylvania's to get out and to avert vote early before calling it. stupid. look, i mean, the contradictory statements really, i think exemplify how donald trump feels on this issues he, this issue he often argues that he thinks early voting is vulnerable to potential

election fraud. he argues it cost him the 2020 election. but at the same time republicans have increasingly embraced early voting. you have the rnc and people like lara trump on the rnc pushing for people to vote early, recognizing that it is a necessary tool to help them when in november. but i do want to just shift gears a bit, john, about what we're going to see from donald trump today when he heads to georgia, this is actually donald trump's first visit to georgia in seven weeks, even as his team continues to argue that this is a state that is vital to him winning. this fall and the kyiv planned for him today is to talk about the the economy. now we actually heard donald trump briefly talk about the economy yesterday. he met with farmers in pennsylvania and one of the key things we know that is key to his economic plan is tariffs. now he has put, he has vowed to hiked tariffs very broadly imposed sweeping tariffs on different manufacturer first, if he becomes elected once again, but

that comes even as a lot of people are concerned about, yeah, maybe this will help some domestic manufacturers, but it could hurt others. and we did hear one farmer when he was meeting with them at a roundtable in pennsylvania yesterday, asked him whether he was concerned about whether tariffs could potentially a affect affected people like john dean here in manufacturers like john deere, he immediately turned that into attack line on harris where he argued that if she were to win, that you wouldn't have a farm anymore. i want you to take a listen to what he said with all of you as i speak, is energy in two ways. number one, you want to be able to collect royalties and other things, or even have a job and energy that's very important to help your farm and the other thing is you got to keep the prices down. so we're gonna do both and we'll do it fast to yolo be it'll be largely taken care of within 12 months. i predict within 12 months it'll be down to five or 50% and if they get in your energy costs are going through the roof, okay. i gotta go through the review, won't be you won't have a farm very

long. i will tell you that now, john, that line there, you won't have a farm for very long. i'll tell you that. i mean, this is classic donald trump at some of that fear mongering we hear from him repeatedly, just like last week when he was speaking to jewish supporters in washington, dc and he warned that if they do not vote for him, that israel would not be country anymore, that it would cease to exist. so this is the same type of rhetoric we can expect, but i think looking ahead to georgia one of the reasons donald trump is talking about the economy is because we actually just saw that polling from the new york times sienna college poll that showed donald trump has a slight edge over harris in georgia. they of course want to keep that, but one of the key reasons in that polling and then people voted for him was because they said that they believe that he could handle the economy better. so of course, that is a key message, really, the key message that donald trump wants to convey to voters as we look ahead to this final sprint, john landed treene for us in washington, alayna, thank you very much, sara. >> all right. ahead major hurricane on its way to

>> yeah it's. hard to believe that there's the potential for two major landfalling hurricanes in north america within a 72 hour period, we had hurricane, major hurricane john make landfall late last night. that surprised everyone to fight. a lot of odds, made landfall along the southern coastline of mexico. but what but we're focusing here. that's threatening at least in the near term for the united states, is what is known as potential tropical cyclone nine actually been influenced by some of the sheer are the upper level winds on the west side from hurricane john that made landfall in southern mexico regardless, it's kind of keeping it disorganized in the way western caribbean, but believe me, it will strengthen and that's associated in lined up with all the forecasts new this morning at 5:00 a.m. hurricane watches issued for the big bend, including tampa bay and then further than that, there's also storm surge watches for much of the west coast of the florida peninsula. in fact, tend to 15 foot storm

surge possible across the big bend, the catcher's mitt of florida on by the peak of the storm, with the potential of four to eight feet for tampa bay, lesser amounts as you head a little bit further south, why are we getting impacts from this storm? well away from the center while we anticipate it to grow in size. so the wind field and the storm surge component will expand as the storm approaches late thursday into the day on friday, it is forecast explicitly did become a major hurricane as it approaches the big bend late thursday evening, that's why we have this category three. just before landfall. and you can see the storm system traversing warm waters and really taking off, picking up in forward speed. so as it enters florida, it will quickly reach georgia as a tropical storm and will bring the winds along with it, along with a heavy rainfall and the potential for flash flooding. and remember, a saturated ground in georgia, lots of pine trees and the florida panhandle. this will take down trees because this will also cause power outages,

rainfall totals from this storm could exceed a half a foot. that's why we're anticipating this localized flash flood threat for the day on thursday that will continue into friday, right along the spine of the appalachian mountains. so lots to talk about these storms really interconnected kate, from john to ptc nine, which will soon be hurricane helene back to you? >> yeah. >> and many states that are going to be watching the forecast very closely as it changes the next couple of days. good to see you, derek. thank you so much. john. >> all right. this morning and announcement of more than 400 economists endorsing vice president harris and for the first time since the mass shooting that killed two students and two teachers, students at apalachee high school or turned to the classroom this morning years. >> i've been saying publicly what people say and turns out i have enough money. i could just shut off back i can't car

being drawn. >> great to be on the show. thank what's your feeling about allowing or permitting ukraine to use american made or any long-range missiles on participants targets inside russia. well, i think it depends on the targets, but i think i was actually in a meeting with president zelenskyy yesterday and he wants to be able to do that on military targets. and i think that's important and i would support that. the one thing that came out of that meeting though, by the way, john, which was you know, disturbing every time i've been in meeting with president zelenskyy is i'm i asked him, are you getting the weapons that you need? the weapons you need now and even yesterday, he said, no. and this is one of the things that i've been really critical of the biden-harris administration on there, not in it to win it. this pattern of delaying weapons, no matter what think about is very long high-mars patriots atacms f-16s tanks than we in the congress pressure them. they finally do it, but this is still happening

you know, the president of ukraine told me that yesterday and imagine how much further we can be in that battle against the russians if the ukrainians get the weapons they needed. so this is another, this a big flaw with biden-harris in terms of ukraine, one of the things is less he consistently says it's ultimately, you always say yes, ultimately you always give us permission to want. you just do it much sooner. look, you criticize the biden ministration he's still he's still he's still. >> well, i don't know if he'll press it with president, but he mentioned it was some senators yesterday, the most frustrated members of the trump campaign. >> yeah, seem to feel very differently than you. donald trump jr. and rfk jr. who now i guess holds a senior position he's done that world. they wrote an op ed in the hill last week saying that the u.s. should not give permission for your brain to use missiles deep inside russia. they said and for what to weaken russia to control ukraine's minerals know vital american interest is at stake to risk nuclear conflict for the sake of the neoconservative fantasy of global full spectrum dominance is madness you agree we'll

look what i was a strong supporter, the national security package that wasn't just about ukraine, it was about getting weapons to our allies in israel, in taiwan, and really importantly, rebuilding our own military industrial capacity which is wasp border that, that is atrophied under the biden administration. but look, i think right now, particular when people are talking different victory plans, peace plans, and most important thing we can do is get the ukrainians the weapons they need, but also put them in a position of strength, which is what you need to be in, in terms of if you have to start having these negotiations which may or may not, may or may not start soon. zelenskyy is going to be meeting with members of the senate later this week, and he's going to be laying out what he calls the victory plan. but to me, the critical thing we need to do is make sure they have the weapons and are in a position of strength if this turns into some kind of negotiated settlement, do you

want to move on to the un general assembly, but just to acknowledge that's a different position then taken at least by donald trump junior in rfk jr. who are part of the trump like i said, i'm i'm on the record of supporting that national security supplemental and shaping it not just to be about ukraine, but about our own defense industrial base. and helping israel and taiwan i won, which is why that got strong support in the senate and house. >> what do you want to hear from president biden for the general assembly today, you wrote a whole op-ed on particularly what do you want to hear in regards to what's happening in lebanon right now, will look. >> i think it's the president's probably his last major foreign policy address. and i think for the american people and our allies you need to ask, is america and our allies safer today than we were four years ago? i think the answer is unequivocally. know in there is nowhere in the world that demonstrates that more than what's going on in the middle east. >> so what i would like to hear and i'm not holding my breath for president biden or a vice president harris to say this is there has been a collapse of deterrence as it relates to a

ran a ran is the agent of chaos, not only in the middle east, but even in ukraine. and yet this administration's focus on iran has been lacking a hallmark of this administration has been actual appeasement of iran they inherited a really good situation with regard to iran deterrence from the trump administration and a whole host of areas. so i would like the president in front of the un to denounce the iranians for what they are. the agents of chaos. and i'd also like to do what i raised with the secretary general of the un yesterday is to say in the un needs it's to stop this long-term systemic anti israel, even anti-semitic positions that the un has had. so those are things that i've been calling for i doubt the presence is going to do it. >> do you think that the israeli attacks on hezbollah targets will be effective ultimately or will increase the tension in the region. >> well, it's really difficult because right now israel is trying to do what we should be doing. they're trying to re-establish deterrence against

iran and its proxies. and that has not happened. with regard to the biden-harris administration to the contrary, john, what they've been doing on almost every single issue, they never talk about a rant. think about it. the trump administration, i'll give you one example at the end. the trump administration maximum pressure sanctions brought the iranians to their knees in terms of their economy, but also really limited their ability to export oil. they had about $4 in foreign reserves by the end of the trump administration, president biden and harris come in, they essentially don't enforce those sanctions. and now the iranians have about 80 billion in foreign reserves. guess what? they're doing with that? they're funding and training and equipping the houthis hezbollah hamas, and deterrence is collapsed and we're seeing that chaos in the middle east. all over. i actually mentioned this to the president. you need to reimpose those trump sanctions he said he was interested in doing that, told me to work with jake sullivan on it they won't do it and

that's by the way, that would be a by partisan move. if they did that, united states senators, democrats and republicans want to reimpose those sanctions. that was very effective during the trump administration. >> senator dan sullivan, we appreciate your time. thanks. thank you, john sara. >> all right. we've got brand new reporting for you. cnn has learned more than 400 economist and former high-ranking policymakers are endorsing vice president kamala harris as she tries to cut into donald trump's lead on the economy. the endorsements come at a critical moment in the campaign as both candidates hit the trail this week, pitching their economic agendas across battleground brown states, just 41 days now from election day, cnn's matt egan broke the story and he has a reporting for us now, who is backing harris and what is the reason they're doing so? >> well, sara, this is a sweeping show support for kamala harris and her vision for the economy comes from more than 400 economists and former policymakers, me many of them veterans of democratic administrations, including official such as former biden

economists brian deese, obama, economist jason furman, up, another veteran of the obama administration, penny pritzker, alan blinder, who was the number two at the federal reserve and he served in the clinton administration and also some notable academics such as university of michigan economist justin wolfers and claudia golden, the harvard economist who last year won the nobel prize in economics. now, as far as why they are backing harris, it's because they believe that she's got the better vision for the economy. they described this as a stark contrast between failed trickle down economic policies that benefit the few and the policies that provide opportunity for all key line in this endorsement the economists say that it is a choice between inequity economic injustice and uncertainty with donald trump or prosperity opportunity and stability with kamala harris, that in particular the economy ms argue that the trump agenda could reignite inflation just to remind people what we're talking about when we say the

harris agenda. and as she has called for raising taxes on the wealthy corporations, expanding the child tax credit boosting small business, and also trying to address the affordability issue by building more houses but also she's calling for boosting demand by providing $25,000 downpayment assistance. pretty important that the supply come before they're demand there. but as you mentioned, all of this comes as they tried to convince voters that they have the right vision for the economy. trump today, going to savannah, georgia to pitch his economic coming vision, talk about tax policy. harris tomorrow are going to pittsburgh these two candidates continued to try to convince voters that is their vision, that's going to be right. remember the economy, it's the number one issue for voters. >> it's certainly as egan. thank you, sir. and that story. appreciate it. >> so this morning, students are heading back to class at apalachee high school. this is their first time back since that horrific shooting by a fellow student there to

students, two teachers were killed in that shooting earlier this month, turning their school into a crime scene cnn's ryan young is joining us now and tracking all of this. so ryan, what are you hearing about the plans today to help them transition back into school? >> kate so much about this will be putting their arms around the students will be coming back to the school. you think about the four people who lost their lives here. they were nine others who were injured during that day. if you look in the distance here, a lot of people from the community of continue to come and pay their respects to the people who were lost. or you can still see that growing memorial that's by the flag post. that's. over there. what were told this today will be a half-day, but the big question obviously is, when you talk about that crime scene, they're going to shut down the hallway where the shooting happened. so you understand their thinking about this, they'll have therapy, dogs will have counselors here on scene and they're all also be a lot of extra security, security that you will see some security that will be hidden, but they want to make sure these students who are going to do a half-day here feel

supported. take a listen to the sheriff talking about the measures they put in place obviously, a lot of emotions go in today the kids and the teachers have been communicating, but not face to face. and most regards but, they were today so the overflow of emotions or not only tough for them, they're as well the acade look, we've talked to so many people in this community who at many times just break down crying because they know someone who was either injured in this or who's connected to the school. >> now, there's also been an outpouring of support from across the country. we've seen hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised for the people who've lost her life here. the rock just this weekend took the football team to a studio nearby and had them and gave them an outpouring of support. so you see the community ready to stand up for these kids, but the emotions here will have to be overwhelming. i could imagine this schools still trying to put itself back together,

having to open a place that of course, as you noted before, was a crime scene just less than a month ago. so school starts at about 35 minutes and from there we believe they'll have that half-day and they'll move forward hopefully being able to give these kids some support as they tried to move on with the school year easing them back in. i mean, you talk about how the entire community shattered and connected and how small it is the sheriff or remember just seeing his face talking yesterday. he even spoke when this was all playing about his connection to the school and how close-knit while the community is and how it's impacting all of them understandably, ryan. thank you very much. really appreciate it. >> john all right. new this morning, federal prosecutors say they plan to charge ryan ruth with attempting to assassinate former president trump authorities, say roof left a note several months ago, urging others to finish the job and offering $150,000 to anyone romanus to carry out the killing let's get right to cnn's katelyn polantz for the latest on this kaitlan. good morning good morning, john.

>> this was a three-hour hearing in federal court in florida yesterday. what happened with ryan ruth is prosecutors wanted to keep him in jail pending trial, keep him detained, convinced the judge they have enough evidence to do so, even though he hasn't been formally charged, they were successful in that, and they also reveal during that hearing that they do plan to charge ryan ruth with heftier crimes specifically potentially attempting to assassinate donald trump. now, this is not a charge that we have seen yet. it has not yet been through a grand jury three, right now, ryan routh is only facing two possession of firearm, criminal charges, and waiting for what happens with that indictment. but that is a really significant development in this investigation. one of the things that prosecutors are doing here is they've collected a lot of evidence about ryan ruth, what he had in his car many self phones including one that showed how he had been looking up, getting from palm beach too mexico potentially

after this apparent assassination attempt, he wanted to make on donald trump's life. they also found he had been they had located that he had been around mar-a-lago for a month, essentially stocking donald trump and there was a witness that he gave a box today before heading down to mar-a-lago, that box contained a letter, and in that letter, ruth was writing specifically the words. this was an assassination attempt on donald trump, but i failed you. the witness opened the box after he was picked up by the cops on september 15, ruth, in that letter said he also wanted to offer $150,000 to whomever could complete the job. he was mad about donald trump's handling of relations in the middle east. this is only part of the evidence that prosecutors say they've gathered about ryan ruth, and only the sort of evidence they thought they would need to show right now to keep him in jail, which they are going to be doing. that was what the judge decided. the judge said that the weight of the evidence against the defendant is strong, and john, there's more

to come here look. >> yeah, the evidence important right now to keep him in jail, but also will be crucial to the case that they want to make going forward, kaitlan paula, it's great to see you. thank you very much. kate kamala harris seriously, considering a trip to the southern border this week, why the latest on the campaign's plans got that ahead. >> and it was billed as a 45 minute college lacrosse workout with a navy seals so alumni, it ended with nine lacrosse players in the hospital. >> we back morning. >> here are the five things you need to know to start your day. get the news, you need about this for an earnings call headlines in five minutes or less hello, cnn's five things with kate bolduan, streaming weekdays on cnn.com. and met. >> when it comes to amgen, life changing medical break first every second counts but, without investment, those breakthroughs are often past cities seamlessly connected banking, markets and services

>> immigration is of course, one of the top concerns for voters and polling shows they trust donald trump more on that issue harris has it repeatedly criticized trump's immigration policies, but this specific focus on his promise of mass deportation if he wins in november, cnn's eva mckend is joining us now what more are you learning about this potential trip? >> well, sara, our colleague priscilla alvarez, reporting that this could be an effort to close the gap with the former president on this issue of immigration. we saw that new york times sienna poll this week that showed more battleground state voters trusted trump on immigration by about 10%. and so evidently the campaign's view is that her going to the border will allow her but to again emphasize that it was the former president who stood in the way of congress passing a bipartisan border enforcement bill. and it is her who has this experience as california attorney general, tackling transnational criminal gangs. it also answers to this republican criticism that you just doesn't go to the border enough no final decision has

been made eva mckend so how exactly is the vice president? >> has she viewed immigration? >> i think that this is really an important question. it's important to look back at her past statements because historically, she was very critical of the trump administration's immigration policies when she was in the senate, she described the border wall as a useless symbol and said that a wall will not secure our border she has said the immigration debate in her view is different. fine by false choices. she brought a dreamer as her guest to the state of the union when she was in congress and the first organization, she actually visited after being elected to the senate, was an immigrants rights group called sherlock out of california for a very long time. she has been viewed as a real ally to the immigrant community he, sara, eva mckend. >> thank you so much for your reporting there from washington, dc for us this morning, kate, and joining us right now is the democratic governor of colorado, jared

polis, governor. thank you so much for being here with me this morning. 40 plus days to the election. some states have already started voting early trump, remains ten plus points ahead on the issue of immigration and border security why is vice president harris not making up more ground on this? do you think she goes to the border now or she goes after she is elected. >> i think it's really important to see firsthand what she's committed to. a couple of harris is somebody that when she sees a challenge, she forges a solution right now, it doesn't try to divide people with politics like the other side. i think what you have right now is a really unique situation. democrats actually want a secure the border and solve the issue. republicans want to keep this as a political issue for their own political gain. so there's a bigger incentive right now, and i think american voters are smarter this if they want the border issues solved that they want real security, they need to give the democrats a chance to get it done does it concern you that spread ten points? >> he still he continued to have a ten point advantage and voters don't see it more your way as you're describing it

will look forward, president trump is very vulnerable on this because the truth is, there was a bipartisan, solid plan to secure the border, more border control agents, tens of thousands thought protections and barriers, high-tech, everything you needed to do, great ideas, republicans democrats came together, former president trump effectively said, no, i want to run on this, don't solve it. >> and so where are we are, we are where we are today. we have a porous border because the former president trump's actions taking on the border security bill. and i think the american people are ready for progress, not politics. and that's exactly what kamala harris represents. >> the thing is, is that you say he's vulnerable, meaning there might be an opening you think and creating that distinction, it's not showing in the polls though they think he is, they trust him less, they trust voters trust him more in battleground states on handling and even if you say that he's vulnerable well, i think the more awareness there is about how he destroyed an effective bipartisan plan to

secure the border and doesn't have one of his own besides words i think the more people see right through that, the american people want a solution on this. >> and the more they look at what former president trump has well, offer, he offers more of the same problem versus moving forward and finally, securing the border. >> donald trump has been focused on your state for similar reasons as he is focused on ohio in springfield, ohio specifically, trump's saying that aurora, colorado saying it's overrun by a venezuelan prison gang. he's held it up as sample of what he says is biden's and harris's immigration policies, putting people in danger on a play for everyone. what he said this weekend harris, venezuelan gangs have taken over entire apartment buildings and aurora, colorado. the government, the governor, is petrified in colorado. he's a liberal governor. he doesn't know what to do. the guy is so scared of these guys and maybe

you can't blame them you have defended the city governor, you called it a wonderful city this weekend, donald trump says he's going to visit aurora to highlight the problem. do you want him to come there? >> we'll look auroras are third biggest city, over 400,000 people is a terrific city. >> i was there last week. if if the president comes, i hope i hope he doesn't bring with him and element of lawlessness or people that are causing trouble. obviously, we welcome anybody to the city of aurora, colorado. but obviously we weren't very about some of the criminal element that he brings with some he's a convicted felon himself and a lot of people that associate himself with him might engage in acts of terror against the residents of aurora. so if he comes welcomed, behave yourself, play golf at one of our great municipal golf courses. dianne, one of our great restaurants. we'd be thrilled to have you, but we'll tell you you're crazy. hangar owens, not to come with you so colorado has a long and successful history of vote by mail donald trump, for years has tried to undermine

mail-in voting in early voting kind of conflating them both in some ways, and he's doing that again yesterday, he called early voting stupid and raising doubts about its security though, he told supporters in april, he said mail-in voting, early voting or good options. and the earlier this month, he accused pennsylvania without evidence of widespread mail-in ballot fraud other than without evidence creating doubt what impact do these mixed signals? have on voters in your state well, i think you're paying too much attention to these you know, these words coming out of his mouth as nickel stuff that he says, we really have to move past donald trump. >> we really need to move past donald trump. look male voters were colorado's have been doing for almost two decades is perfectly safe and secure. republicans have one, democrats have won. there's a paper ballot. we have alarmed ballot with lots of initiatives people like to research them in their homes before they cast their vote. we also make early voting available. so if you lose your mail ballot or you don't trust

me, all ballots, you can vote early a week or two before the election. one of the many early voting sites. and if you don't do that, if you really want to vote on election day, we make out bell able to voting should be easy for the american people to exercise their right or grandparents and great grandparents have died to defend that right in war. and it's up to us to make it count and colorado is a good example of the success of all three types of those voting's and has for years it's good to see you, governor. thank you very much for coming in john, are the man convicted of killing ten people in a mass shooting at a grocery store in boulder, colorado was spend the rest of his life in prison. >> that decision came just hours after the jury convicted him of first-degree murder, rejecting his insanity claim, he opened fire. the king soopers grocery store in 2021 on top of tanking executive life sentences, he also received an additional 1,300 years in prison for other felony counts kmart, the discount retail giant, is closing its last full size i was location in the mainland united states. the store located on long island will

close its doors on october 20. this marks the end of an era for kmart full-sized stores. the brand will maintain the small presence through a convenience store in miami. the government making at at-home covid, tests available for free again, each household will be able to order for at-home test kits starting at the end of this month that you can get yours at covid tests covidtests.gov, all right. >> this morning three tufts university lacrosse players are still in the hospital after an extreme workout with a navy seal graduate, the voluntary 45 minute workout initially sent nine players too the hospital with a dangerous condition that can be life-threatening during me now is cnn's meg tirrell meg, what does this condition, what happened here the sounds like this really mysterious occurrence. >> 50 members are so-called this team participated in this workout last monday over the following days, a few of them started to feel ill. and as you mentioned, nine of them ultimately were hospitalized. three are still in the

hospital. they were diagnosed with a condition known as rhabdomyolysis. this is a relatively rare muscle addition where the muscles start to break down and sort of leak their contents into the bloodstream. this can be very dangerous and can overwhelm the kidneys and affect other organs in really severe circumstances, it can lead to the need for dialysis to help with this so we know that those three are still in the hospital. the university so he says this was after a navy seal graduate, somebody who had just participated in a training program with a navy seals, ran this training. we don't have details about exactly what this involved in terms of the training but the university says they have appointed an outside investigator to look into all of this and really figured out what happened here that contributed to so many of these players getting injured sara. i showed up in this discussion because i had rhabdo. i had an after i out mile 25 of the boston marathon in 2020 it was heat

stroke that did it, but rhabdo came after i was in the hospital for three days. but what's unusual about this case? is that a bunch of people, it's not like contagious, it's not like, you know, you spread from one person who and others. so the same thing happened to had to happen to all of them, right yeah that's what's really interesting about this. >> it sounds like what's something else at play here and doctors have raised that i spoke with dr. robin thicke, who's a sports medicine doctor and he noted that supplements can contribute to this. so i asked the university and they said, all of this is part of the investigation. they don't know, but there are instances in the past where this has happened to several members of it team at one time we saw one from iowa about a decade ago where more than a dozen football players were affected. there's one from south carolina even longer ago than that seven swimmers were affected supplements weren't necessarily involved in those. so sometimes this can happen if folks haven't been training for a little bit and they come back and we know it's the beginning of the school year. maybe these players we're coming back into training and this one was particularly rigorous. so we're going to find out all these detls
