1. right now on sand then this morning breaking overnight is israel moving troops into lebanon, the fine pressure from the u.s. to stop the escalation plus debate day tim walz and j.d. vance, ready for their face off? what each candidate needs to do on stage tonight? and later everything that that you sort of take for granted. >> it has been washed away literally utter devastation communities ravaged by helene, grappling with near total destruction >> 5:00 a.m. i'm here on the east coast. a live look at capitol hill on this tuesday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt it's wonderful to have you with us.

>> we have breaking news out of the newly overnight is red river israeli troops crossed into lebanon to begin with, they're calling the next phase of war, israel launching a limited ground invasion into southern lebanon despite weeks of requests from the u.s. to use restraint and de-escalate their conflict with hezbollah if the state of lebanon and the world can push hezbollah away from our border, we have no choice but to do it ourselves. israel hitting beirut with a fresh round of airstrikes overnight while insisting there will be no long-term occupation of lebanon the white house clearly unable to stop israel, the israeli prime minister from widening the war with hezbollah law, the ground invasion launching just hours after president biden called for a halt to the conflict in israel, maybe now launching a limited operation into lebanon. >> are you aware of that? are you comfortable with their

plan? >> i'm more aware than you might know. i'm comfortable with them stopping. we should have a ceasefire now a ceasefire doesn't seem to be a netanyahu's plans. >> listen to what the prime minister sending a message to the iranian people suggesting a regime change in iran is israel's ultimate goal. >> he runs times don't care about your future but you do. what do iran is finally free. and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think everything will be different are two ancient peoples, the jewish people and the persian people will finally be at peace we're joined now by cnn, global affairs analyst kimberly dozier. >> kim, good morning. thank you so much for being here. that quote from netanyahu, a very interesting one. let's circle back to so first. let's talk about this breaking news overnight. what we've learned from the israelis and what they extent of this conflict may look like. we've been talking

so much about the war in gaza. what's different here the size and scale of what they're going after when you look at the hezbollah structure, you got at least 50,000 fighters, possibly more, but more importantly, the infrastructure that hezbollah has built along that border with israel. >> it is mountainous territory, hard rock hezbollah has dug in hundreds of miles of tunnels in which they've hidden rockets most importantly, the ballistic missiles that they have smuggled in and are built with iran's help. and basically israel has to go in and fair at all of that out. so if you look at their operation in gaza, which was tunnels and sandstone that has taken almost a year they're doing the same thing here. they've got a first rage to find the openings of these things. and then they're going to have to bring in i believe tanks engineers, those infrastructure to protect the engineers while they do the

work of mapping out and blowing up those tunnels and digging out anything that it's inside. because those ballistic missiles can go 340 miles, they can reach much of israel is populated area. and the israeli military wants to take them out so when you look at how benjamin netanyahu's political situation plays into this. we've obviously seen it impacts some of their strategic and even tactical military decision-making. yeah. >> what are the current pressures on him and what does it tell us about how long this conflict may last, for example? >> well, he is facing pressure from the hostage families that he's diverted the operation from gaza to now, take on the new goal of making it safe for israelis to return to northern israel but he is popularity in the polls, especially among conservatives that people he relies on to put him back in power, has been rising since all of the stepped-up operations against hezbollah.

and especially after the killing of hassan nasrallah, hezbollah's leader. so i expect this operation to go on for some time, especially as we approach the anniversary of the october attacks. it shows israel fighting back and especially among israel's right wing that is a plus for netanyahu. >> it really interesting. we heard netanyahu say just they're in english, i'm always fascinated my, what he decides to say in english versus hebrew. it seems like a very strategic set of choices. but he says here, when iran is finally free and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think. >> what's he saying there? >> i would i would put that under the heading of cyops. >> he's trying to get in the iranian leaders heads saying you don't know what we've got planted where to take you out? because they've managed to conduct so many assassination operations already inside iranian territory. and that's also a signal to the iranian

people who have demonstrated unrest in the past that we see you. and we know that you might do the job for the rest of the world alright, kim dozier, very grateful to have you to start us off this morning with this breaking news. thank you very much all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, stories of survival and covering when the water was about to my to my shoulder level, i realized i needed to get out of here the people of western north carolina picking up the pieces, it's something that can take years plus closing the gender gap with donald trump would need to do to get more female voters on his side. and it's the vp showdown, j.d. vance and tim walz on the big stage in the big apple will either be able to find a standout moment senator i served with jack kennedy. i knew jack kennedy jack kennedy was a friend of mine i'm, not sure you're no

it's a great place. >> the governor also reportedly badly clean nerves, according to cnn's isaac dovere, ahead of his showdown with j.d. vance governor, what do you want voters to learn about vance finishing up his preparations in new york, he arrived in the big apple monday afternoon ahead of the debate with no public events scheduled, his running mate, though has plenty to say about his ally and his opponent in the debate i think jd's going to do grade is a very smart guy. >> he's done a great job. people like him a lot he's going up against a moron a total more on how she picked him as unbelievable. >> and i think it's a big factor. there's something wrong with it, guy. he's sick hard-hit joining us now to help preview tonight's showdown, mychael schnell. >> she's congressional reporter for the hill. mychael. good morning. nice to see you. this is entirely an expectations game, right to harris county yeah putting out telling our

isaac dovere, well, he nervous or we of course heard that walz had warned harris and the selection process. well, i'm bad. i'm bad at debating this, isn't my thing and now, of course you've got trump, who doesn't really do the traditional expectations game setting, basically saying, well j.d vance is going to be going up against a moron what do you make of how they're talking about this leading up to the debate and what do you expect to see tonight? it's always funny how the candidates and they size up their opponents and such a different manner when you're right before the debate, i think that this is typically what we see candidates trying to lower the bar. they're close allies trying to lower the bar. so any performance that's decent clears that bar and could actually maybe be a resounding performance. so this is sort of what were, so we typically see donald trump taking his own on convention central approach to it. not completely surprising, but what have you it's 1980 fascinating because it's a, i think arguably the biggest stage that either of them had been challenged on. you could

get say that the convention stage was a big stage, but this is where they're actually going to be pushed on their views, both of them have had some kind controversies. tim walz, when you talk about his military record, he had some controversy there, him saying he carried weapon of war that was something that was pushed back on and j.d. vance has had a number of these controversial comments, whether it'd be the trial of this cat, ladies, more recently, what's going on in springfield? i expect to see them be pushed on both of those matters then particularly some current events be pulled into this the. hurricane that just came through. and that is that cuts states are reeling from that damage. there's what's going on in the middle east right now, i suspect we'll see some some foreign policy and current events as well. so it's gonna be a fascinating evening tonight. >> yeah, for sure. and michael, in terms of the expectation setting and what trump is doing versus what his campaign is doing. let's watch what jason miller had to say about this was on a press call on monday, august we're going to listen to it this is the official line from the campaign walz was very good in debates. >> i want to repeat that. tim

walz is very good in debates, really good he's been a politician for nearly 20 years. he'll be very well prepared for tomorrow night. he's not going to be the wildly gesticulating if richer, we see it rallies pointing to kamala harris garrison dancing about on the stage interesting to me that he used the word, if feminists to describe tim walz seems very telling. >> yes. and also saying that he's a good debater trying to size up his performance at it's, you know, he's going to come prepared so that way, if folks say that j.d vance did well or beat him, it would be again, this resounding performance. it's the expectations game that we're once again seeing fiat. i also think tonight is going to be interesting. we'll, it's potentially going to be the last time that we see these two campaigns. face-off, head-to-head on the debate stage. cnn has obviously extended the invitation to vice president kamala harris debate on october 23 harris has accepted that trump it has declined that invitation. now, you know, that goes to say he's declining at right now, we typically see this debate

about the debates go on change paths, change trajectories, a number of times before that debate, that date comes around. but as of right now, this could be the final showdown between the two campaigns. so really we're getting into the final stretch here. >> no, no, we are 33 pretty some odd days to go. it is it's october as of today. >> we october mychael schnell. >> thanks very much for being here. >> all right. don't forget. you can watch tim walz and jd vance's first and only face off in that vp debate. it's hosted by cbs news, but it will be tonight. >> at 9:00 p.m. eastern. you can watch it right here on cnn coming up on cnn this morning, rescue and recovery operations, continuing in appalachia as the region reels from the impact of hurricane helene, the official number of people unaccounted for still unknown, plus we'll be there as i said but before and i mean, as long as it takes to finish this job president biden, setting the record straight yesterday on the federal government's response to helene as his former

political rival claims he's refusing to help red states winning is everything's stupid. saturday at seven on cnn little nervous when it happens? >> all on? bring it back if he smells of this good, he's got my attention

counting gets started today at frame bridge.com now, we take the war to them least 100 130 people are dead after hurricane helene made landfall, slamming into the southeast in asheville heavy trees and downed power lines are blocking main roads making it difficult to provide residents with supplies many more people remain missing. the governor says there is no official number for how many people are unaccounted for across the state i asked my daughter, are you okay? we've

just texted her and she sent me back. >> they these horrifying pictures. i mean, it looked like armageddon cnn's isabel rosales was on the scene in asheville, north carolina as recovery efforts began with devastation, this widespread of you from the air brings into focus the full scope of the destruction wrought by hurricane helene have you, trees and downed power lines are blocking major roadways, hampering the delivery of badly-needed supplies, and overturn semi-truck laying upside down in the river and numerous landslides all spotted from above cnn flew by helicopter but the non-profit serving inaccessible towns badly in need of aid on the ground in black mountain outside of asheville. >> city manager, josh herald says, it could take years to get over this devastation is catastrophic black mountain may never look the same again it's just total destruction, but just getting buy-in for now, the focus for so many, it's

hours of waiting for gas at the few pumps that are still running their first car and asheville lines of cars waiting for basic supplies it's just rough it's hard to see in the city like this. some families tell cnn, they've run out of drinking water and without electricity, their food is rotting gary o'dell is sharing everything he's gone his home with his daughter who lost it all to the catastrophic floods. and even life-saving oxygen tanks with his neighbor. >> my next-door neighbor ran out of oxygen. he's worse shape than i am. that's my problem. i've got lung cancer sure. now do and you don't you don't realize oxygen is is very important non-profits teaming up to serve 2000 residents in the first four hours. how are you guys doing? >> this is one of the first semitrucks full of desperately needed supplies to arrive in asheville. >> this is the most devastating thing i've ever seen her whole city i think that the loss of

life fact that if you don't have cash, you can't get anything. we've gone to stores, waters out isis out. people slept overnight at gas stations like i feel like we've never seen this before and three days into this disaster north carolinians praying that more help is on the way. all right. isabel rosales, this morning. all right. what's left of hurricane helene will finally move off shore today as more rain is expected along the east coast, let's get to our meteorologist derek van dam with more derek. good morning. >> kasie. you know, my team and i were actually located along the florida big bend region when hurricane helene moved inland, the devastation there was catastrophic from the storm surge, but fine i've hundred miles inland now people are starting to get a glimpse of how catastrophic this storm actually was for places outside of the coast of florida where it made landfall originally and coming home to something like this. >> what do you even do?

>> how do you even comprehend that? how do you compartmentalize all the damage that is on the ground? well, it's even amazing to me that we're talking about the remnant energy of what was hurricane helene. this is indirectly related to it, but there are still tropical showers that are inundating kind of like the spine of the rock, our spine of the appalachian mountains here. so anywhere from the nation's capital into portions of western north carolina. and now they're light, but i don't want to reiterate that this isn't a another round of heavy rainfall, but the point being is that the ground is so saturated any additional rainfall according to the national weather service service coming out of the western north carolina region talking about landslides because the ground is unstable. so additional rainfall could cause some of that loose dirt and rock too slide quite easily. so isolated showers here through the course of the day today, some of the hardest hit areas western north carolina, into virginia. we're still talking about over a million-and-a-half custody simmers without power. i mean, it could basically see and

track the exact path of where the storm made its way inland. and this is just concurrent with our warming world kasie, we talk about this so often well, we have a warming planet that allows the atmosphere to hold more moisture and that brings the potential for more frequent and more heavy rain events like we saw unfold in western north carolina kasie. >> all right. derek van dam for us this morning. derek, thanks very much. i'll see you next hour straight ahead here on cnn this morning, donald trump trying to close the gender gap. can he? he make up ground against kamala harris by telling women he's their protector plus president carter becoming the first american president to sell it great, his 100th birthday invent human rights in a very real sense. >> it's. the other way around human rights invented america the wait is over. >> tim walz and j.d. vance in

also causing chaos on the campaign trail. donald trump claiming the biden administration is not helping republican states like georgia, that were ravaged by hurricane ian helene the governor's doing a very good job. >> he's having a hard time getting the president on the phone, i guess they're not they're not being responsive the federal government is not being responsive without having a very hard time getting the getting the president of the body won't get on that claim about the federal government not responding is demonstrably false. it clearly angered president biden he's lying. and the governor told him he was lying the governor told me his line. i spoken to the governor spending time with him, and he told me his line, i don't know why he does this here was georgia's republican governor brian kemp, setting the record straight all right. >> apparently, we don't have the sound of that, but again, that was republican governor

brian kemp trying to set the record straight here, saying that the federal government is helping. let's go live to los angeles, bring in cnn's senior political analyst, ron brownstein. ron. good morning to you. this of course, is donald trump politicizing what is going on here can you talk a little bit about how things like this tend to, i mean, they can impact presidential campaigns in major ways. i remember superstorm sandy back in 2012, really having an impact at the end here, trump clearly trying to take advantage of it. what's going on and how do you think this is ultimately going to impact the campaign with about 30 days left to go well, first of all, as in so many cases with trump, i mean his accusation is projection. i mean, he explicitly during covid said he would be more responsive to governors who were nice to him, basically and didn't criticize him, than those who do not remember his, you know, his attacks on gretchen whitmer at a point where michigan was reeling in the initial stages

of the of the pandemic. >> i think there's a wildcard you know, north carolina is a state that is very much in play. decided trump won it more narrowly than any other state he won in 2020, if democrats do win it this time, it would certainly be narrowly and the amount of debris the station that the state has experienced is i think an unpredictable factor and the biden administration's response is could be important at the margin. in a state where almost anything could tip results. so yeah, i do think this is a wildcard and unpredictable element in there. you haven't heard harris talk a lot about climate change. he's more focused on convincing voters in western pennsylvania, she won't end their fossil a fuel economy, but it is an opportunity as well to talk about as you were talking about in the previous segment, the way in which the climate is changing. it is making terrible events like this are more common for sure.

>> ron, we do actually have that clip of brian kemp. i want to turn to your piece, but let's just play what he said to set the record straight. watch i just spoke the president just called me yesterday afternoon. >> i missed him and called him right back and he just said, hey, what do you need? and i told him, we we got what we need. we'll work through the federal process. he offered that if there's another things that we need just to call it all him directly, which i appreciate that all right. >> so just to be clear biden calls camp sunday afternoon per kemp but ron, let's turn to this because i think your new piece is fascinating because when we say the gender gap it's, it's different this time than it has been in previous campaigns usually were just talking about primarily who women voters prefer oftentimes men are referred to as you know, it's, i guess it's kind of standard for how things are done, but they're considered the baseline, the normal voter. but let's put up on the screen the gender it goes in both directions this

time. and it's among women, but it's also among men. as you can see, men go for trump. i mean, that's even wider than the harris side for women, 57 to 45 men for trump, 39% of men are for harris, 53% of women. and you keyed in on what some of the sources that you talk to referred to as the paternalistic language that donald trump is using to talk about this. let's play the bite where he talks about being women's protectors. take a look i am your protector. >> i want to be your protectors president. >> i have to be your protector. i hope you don't make too much of it. i hope the fake news as ago, he wants to be their protector. well, i am as president, i have to be your protector and in your piece, you write trump is presenting himself as in a very conventional father knows best kind of frame the strong man who provides protection that women need because they are inherently vulnerable.

>> his problem is most voters outside the core gop coalition are generally comfortable with the changes in traditional roles and family dynamics since the fathers knows, knows best era in the 1950s, i think my question for you reading this piece is is this language actually designed more to appeal to men than women yeah, no, i actually think it is designed to appeal to a slice of women as well as manami. the basic math of the campaign is more women than men vote, right? so if democrats win, women by as much as republicans when men democrats will win, the popular vote. i think if you look at the messaging, the advertising, the campaign appearances, i would argue the single highest priority of the trump case campaign is convincing. older and blue collar white women, particularly in those critical rust belt states of michigan and wisconsin, that he will keep them safe. and harris warm they are doing this in language that is kind of reinforces

traditional gender roles that has been a consistent theme from the convention. where do they got all these symbols of hypermasculinity like all cogen associated with trump and j.d. vance and childless cat ladies and musing, the parents should get more votes oh, it's the parents of kids should get more. and a lot of different ways. he is presenting himself and they are arguing toward voters who are uncomfortable with the way family dynamics and gender roles are changing. and there is a big piece of the republican coalition that feels that way, including on most questions a majority of republican women, the challenge i think trump's faces is that this line of argument is inherently, i think alienating for a lot of single younger college educated white women as well as black women who questioned the very idea that they need a man to protect them at all, much less one intro who has faced so many allegations of sexual assault and abuse and

is the architect of overturning roe, which symbolizes i think a sense among women that their rights are being eroded. and their autonomy being threatened. so many thing trump's trump does kasie, i think there's polarizes even among women and themselves potentially helping him with older and blue-collar women. but at the risk of sparking greater turnout and bigger margin for harris among those other groups yeah, it's it's really, really interesting. >> and it was abortion that harris at keaton on in response to this saying, well, women don't need to protect them. women need someone to trust them they're decisions. yeah. okay. ron brownstein for us this morning. ron always love having you really enjoyed the new piece. highly recommend it. thank you thank you for having me all right. >> coming up here on cnn this morning, vice presidential debates rarely really matter. could this year there'll be different coming up next. presidential historian doris kearns goodwin explained why tonight's vp face off. could have a bigger impact, plus

increased growth. ronald reagan, you're jack kennedy or ronald reagan presidential debates past candidates have of course, come to armed with their best zingers. tonight we'll see what tim walz and j.d. vance will bring to their first and likely only showdown. neither candidate has appeared on a national hold debate stage before the last time each of them formerly debated, when was when they were running for their current offices in 2022 scott was very clear in may he mocked me and said, no kidding, sherlock, i'm running for governor, get things done. >> we're going to ban abortion, not on our watch. i trust women. i trust them to make their own health care decisions. >> it's actually pretty, pretty funny tv commercial, tim cranky, your team. thank you. where he says that he only agrees with his own wife 70% of the time. yeti votes in agrees with nancy pelosi trump's at the time, it must must make things a little awkward. in the ryan household, i suppose and joining us now to talk more about this is presidential historian doris kearns goodwin.

>> we should also note she's got a new children's book out. it's called the leadership journey. how, how four kids became president. doors. good morning. it's wonderful to have you wanted to we'll talk a little bit about the book in a second, but i want to start with vice presidential debates because there's always this question of whether or not it matters. and i want to know what you think about this one. do you think it's going to matter in the long run? >> yeah. i think this one may be more consequential than just being remembered for a zinger that might happen partly because of the age of president, former president trump. there'll be the oldest nominee for a party, and that means that people will have to envision the possibility of j.d. vance being president then also you've got the shrunk and time race. a lot of people don't know either one of these very well as you say, it's their first national appearance. so that could play a role. and the same extent somehow, i think there's closest so the race makes it likely that this may be the last domestic momentum changer. something else can keep happening abroad, but i think

for all those reasons, this could be more consequential than just a bunch of zingers, even though there fun to remember for sure. >> and of course, j.d. vance is someone who he's broken through the national consciousness. i think in terms of the childless cat lady remarks really it has kind of penetrated the consciousness in a way that frequently things that vice presidential candidates just, just don't break through. i want to play a little bit because i know you're interested in this clip of him debating in 2022, we played a little bit of it there. but this back-and-forth between tim ryan and j.d. vance that may show us a little bit about how vance has going to handle tonight. let's watch in youngstown on the stage donald trump said to j.d. >> vance all you do as kiss my to get my support. >> he said that that's bad on my going to take lectures on dignity and self-respect from a guy caught on video kissing up

to chuck schumer and begging him for a promotion to his next job what do you think that clip tells us about what we might see tonight well, i think he's going to be pretty good as an attack dog in many ways, that's what he's been doing in much of the campaign so far. >> whether it's been effective or not for the general public is in the one question, but there's a probability that an a worrisome thing that his likability score has not worked very well. and he may be trying to be more likable tonight, but then he has to still maintain that quality of being the person who can attack and be strong and smart that way. so he has to find a balance between those justice, i think jd just as i think mr. wallace has to find a balance between he's already likable and yet he can't be submissive and he's got to be able to attack. so they're both coming at it from different points of view. >> yeah. and very, very different ways of carrying themselves in the world, right? of course doris, big question will we get an unexpected moment? we may remember in when

mike pence debated kamala harris it ended up being a third character got all the attention there was this kind of glide like, i think we can show it zoomed around. mike pence's head, it lands on his head in the middle. there it is of the debate. how much of this is just something we can't conceive of right now, president trump and that's exactly right. >> what you keep wishing, wish. >> more humor. i mean, in the old debates, oh, you're going to play that one first and refused we're just we're just watching the back. okay. yeah. >> we're hearing in the back the great thing about humor. there was one moment when vance was accused of being two-faced and he just answered it an ordinary way when lincoln was accused of being too faced in a debate way, way back with what senator douglas he said, if i had two phases, do think i'd be wearing this face. how i wish we could have that kind of response that's got humor as well as some response a counterresponse yeah. >> well, i guess you never know. we'll have to we'll have to watch and see doris. i also

before i let you go, i want to ask you about this new book because you've spent so much time studying what makes a president of the united states. and now you're trying to teach kids about it. what did you what did you learn? what, what are you trying to say to kids here? >> i think the most important thing i'm thinking even about this debate more important than whoever has a zinger, whoever attacks more is who has the temperament and the character to be president. that's what we need a person with humility to acknowledge errors. a person with empathy, a person with resilience, a person whose word can be trusted a person who has advanced a bit ambition is for something greater than themselves. and the reason i wanted to write for young people right now and middle school is that they haven't seen leaders that they can can really believe in governments. they can work there in a polarized, turbulent time. and i wanted them to see the guys that i lived with, whether that's lincoln or teddy roosevelt, franklin roosevelt, lbj okay developing these qualities when they were boys, they don't suddenly become presidents than not suddenly on mount rushmore. and if i need history, i want history more in

horses. i love him i think it's so important, it gives us perspective, it gives us hope and solace. if they can identify when the, when these guys were young and they didn't know what they were doing and they made mistakes so they acknowledged them. then maybe they can learn how to be a leader, not just simply on mount rushmore, but in their classes in their in their athletic endeavors in their schools. so that leadership is such an important thing. and what we want is compassion and kindness and decency they were all looking for that in the country and how great if our younger generation can begin to develop that great indeed, and we love history on this program here. >> i think you can't really do what i try to do every day without having a deeper understanding of what's happened before the history that came before us. so part of why i'm always so grateful to have you on the show. doris kearns goodwin. thank you so much and of course, don't forget to get your yeah. no, of cose. of the leadership journey for your middle-schooler? now all right. time now for sports, the sports world is mourning the death of

baseball's controversial all time hitting king, pete rose, andy scholes has this morning's bleacher report. andy. good morning. >> good morning. kasie, me yesterday. certainly a tough day and we lost both dikembe mutombo and pete rose and notice charlie hustle rose is baseball's all-time hits, leader racking up 4,256 hits over his 24 year career. rose also still major league leader in games played and at-bat he was the 17 time all star won three world series titles. but despite his incredible career rose, not a hall of famer. rose was banned from baseball for life in 1989 after an investigation found he gambled on games including his own team pete rose was 83-years-old, and now they can be mutombo, meanwhile, passed away from brain cancer yesterday and mutombo, one of the best defensive players to ever play the game. he was known for his iconic finger wag after blocking a shot and for his big smile now off the court mutombo it is larger than life. he was the nba's first global

ambassador. and as nba commissioner adam silver put it to convey, poured his heart and soul into helping others it's came in with tombow. was 58 we had a doubleheader on monday night football lions quarterback jared goff thrown a perfect game. again the seahawks golf, a perfect 18 for 18 passing in this one, it was the most attempts in a game without an incompletion in nfl history. golf finishing with 200 diny two yards and two touchdowns. and he also caught a touchdown to the lions, ran the philly special to perfection right there in the third quarter, detroit would win 42 to 29 to improve the three and one. so did golf get the game ball afterwards i'll just give the game ball to somebody else. >> so i feel awful knew we played a heck of a game. i did not realize he was perfect. i did not know he was literally 18 for 18 the
