next phase. israel moves troops into lebanon despite calls from the white house for a diplomatic resolution plus a running mates showdown, tim walz and jd vance's first and only debate tonight in what may be the last time the campaign's face off on stage? >> if you think too much about the beautiful chimney, right village that i remember from last week. it's hard to handle grappling with helene. hundreds reported missing and recovery operations underway as devastated communities are trying to rebuild plus a milestone birthday, jimmy carter becomes the first us president to reach the century mark. you're going to take a look back at his time on the public stage.

>> all right. 6:00 a.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 breaking overnight. israel into southern lebanon and the israeli military undertaking what it calls a limited ground operation targeting hezbollah in and around villages along the border reporting that israeli attacks have caused quotes severe damage in the south as far north as beirut's several explosions this morning in the southern suburbs considered a hezbollah stronghold. hezbollah has responding firing artillery and rockets into northern and central israel, at least two people reported injured in those areas. the israeli government characterizing this moment as the next phase in their war against the militant group. this latest escalation coming despite an intense effort by the biden administration in recent weeks to reach it a ceasefire deal.

here's president biden, just a few hours before israel announced its operation that israel may be 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, and i'm comfortable with them stopping we should have a ceasefire now this offensive is just the latest instance of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu publicly defying president biden on numerous, numerous occasions in the last few months, the israeli leader has chosen not to inform the united states before taking actions that were certain to affect american efforts at diplomacy see in the region that was the case in april when israel struck an iranian diplomatic compound in damascus. >> and again last week when israel used american bunker buster bombs to kill hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah all of this further straining the relationship between biden and netanyahu these are two guys have known each other for 40 years. jake in they have never

and i suspect they will never agree on every single aspect of foreign policy and what we're trying to get done in the middle east. but they do agree on the big thing and the big thing is the safety and security of the state of israel and, you know, trying to avoid an all-out war that would put the people of israel at even greater risk. they agree on that right? >> our panel's here to discuss isaac dovere, cnn senior reporter, elliott williams, cnn legal analyst, former federal prosecutor, doug jones as the former democratic senator from alabama. and mike dubke, former trump white house communications director. welcome to all of you. thank you all for being here. senator, i want to start with you just because you are you have a personal relationship with president biden. you heard what he said there. his his tone a little bit risharp honestly, in a way that he hasn't always been as this war has unfolded. what did you make of what he said here and what kind of position is is the president in as israel moves forward here? >> well, i think it's a tough position. obviously, he does not want to see this conflict

escalate the way it seems to be escalating right now, i think he's done a lot to try to tone that down and try to get a ceasefire. we've had you know, we've had our diplomats over there, all of the time trying to negotiators, ceasefires. and it is a difficult situation. so he isn't really difficult spot. he does sincerely want to protect the state of israel but also think he's got some serious disagreements with the way netanyahu has handled this war over the last year. but particularly now as they step it up because, you know, what, what you've got to keep an eye on is he ran looking over this so so shoulder of hezbollah right now, and that is, that's what everybody i think is concerned about. >> so speaking of iran, i also want to show everyone this was what the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had to say in the last day or so, looking at are ron talking to the people of iran? in a somewhat certainly eyebrow raising way. let's watch he wants times.

>> don't care about your future. but you do what do you, ron 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 senator, i mean, he says that the moment when iran is gonna be free might come a lot sooner than people stink. >> is he talking about regime change? what do you hear there? you know, you hear what you can read into that a lot of different things right now. >> you know, look, iran has been unstable. there has been, there's a lot of opposition to the government in iran that has been going on for a long time i think what we're seeing now is israel trying to step that up to create that clearly that was a message to people to say help yourself a little bit. whether that means something greater militarily. i don't know, but it is certainly something that folks have got to keep an eye on isaac let's talk a little

bit about the politics of all of this because it's obviously an issue that has dominated a lot of domestic political conversation here. >> it's been obviously much more focused on the war in gaza. but i think you can see that political influence and how president biden was talking just there. and obviously kamala harris is trying to figure out how to thread this needle herself. i mean, it seems hard to argue that the death of hassan nasrallah, who is a terrorist who has much, much blood on his, so much blood on his hands is a bad thing. but at the same time, there does seem to be some uncertainty among democrats on this. >> i look and think about where we've been over the last year, it's six days shorter the anniversary of october 7, a year ago. right now, joe biden and people in his administration in thought we were headed toward a possible multilateral peace deal with saudi arabia and towards a two-state solution. this is a war that has gone on longer than any war israel has ever been involved in. it has torn

the democratic party apart. and then it seems like there has been some mending of that from where things were in the spring, kamala harris has clearly the tried to put herself forward as someone who has a slightly different view of this than joe biden, while also saying she actually has the same view as joe biden, right and it's a matter of tone. >> and what you say, it's in talking to people who are part of the uncommitted movement in michigan what they have said is they feel better about kamala harris and they did about joe biden i say anybody that's married will say matters remains has not been a different place and they feel nonetheless like she's taking a fresh if you this, that if she were president, that it would be fresh. now, i do think it's also just it's not just about the democratic party. you're talking about nasrallah. we are three days now since he was killed, we have heard from joe

biden and kamala harris and about it, we still have not heard from donald trump, even a mark of this was a good thing, which is what the biden-harris statements were. so this is not just an internal democratic party, i think should look, i i mean, i don't know this qualifies as an october surprise because this has been going on, but we have strife politics, we have stormed politics and we have striked politics. >> we're not talking about here is it's not just lebanon. now, israel is in a three-front rwanda. they fired missiles into yemen so you've scott this this international crisis that biden is trying to handle. but harris has to answer for and that's where we're at right now. >> all right. >> we've got a ton more to talk about today. so coming up next on cnn this morning, a polarizing abortion in a critical southern battleground state is struck down, but putting the spotlight back on reproductive rights, how old? ruling impact voters at the ballot box in november, plus, it's debate night in america, j.d. vance and tim walz meet on the stage for their first and only time facing off, we're going to take a look at how each it has been preparing and

admiral stockdale, your opening statement, policeman who am i why am i here we give admiral stockdale a chance to jump in here if he wants to get in i feel like i'm an observer to ping pong game all right. >> that was a look at vice presidential debate past and tonight, governor tim walz and senator j.d. vance will each get their own chance to create such a memorable moment in a vice presidential debate. walz has been hunkered down in michigan for the past several days. >> justice anywhere in michigan, petoskey, michigan, fabulous place. >> i highly recommended for several days top aides and advisers preparing for tonight, although some of those advisers tell our isaac dovere that the minnesota governor may be feeling some nerves in the lead up to tonight's showdown. i think this is expectation setting governor, what do you want voters to learn about story?

>> walz, his opponent in the debate. now in new york, he, j.d. vance arrived on monday, hasn't talked publicly about tonight's showdown much in recent appearances but his running mate has certainly shared plenty of thoughts i think jd's going to do grade is a very smart guy, has 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 so isaac trump is apparently not gotten the memo from his campaign official that he's supposed to say that he's the expectations are supposed to be well, you know, his spokesman is out there saying tim walz is really great at debating. >> obviously there, harris people are telling you that well, he is nervous. remember he told us he was bad at this when we picked him and that was he said it in the interview with harris that running mate interview in august, is that look, just so you know, i'm a bad debater. now, you may look at that and say this is a guy who has been governor for six years, isn't the house for 12

years before that is teacher is professional politician at this point, but he is really, it's not just expectation settings from what i have reported here. he has really caught up in making sure that he makes this case. he makes it for kamala harris. he doesn't want let kamala harris down. he's thinking about what is my resting phase look like when i'm not answered? well how i, smile at the interests of all these think about it on national televised debate, right? first thing anyone ever told me when i started getting to fix that but it's also the answers. >> right. and he also very much feels like donald trump should not be proud president again, and he has to make sure to make that not happen. but he said in an at a fundraiser in new york last week, he was asked how's debate prep going in someone in the room told me that he said, listen, you know, when you're a teacher were trained to answer the question, we train our students to answer the question that's not what this is in fact, the advice well, he is the then he than he actually

has learned that lesson because in every interview that i've seen, he's never answered the question. >> and that's what vance needs to make him do. i hope vance follows up when walz is going down some lane opposite of what he was asked the question that's for me, that's what vance is. job is. and then the second thing is vance can overreach. he has a tendency to maybe go a little too far. he's got to pull it back back, be a little bit more restrained. and then i think we'll see some success we have work to do on the childless cat ladies situation yeah i mean, that's some point. >> don't bring it up anymore, or if they keep talking about her, you're going to play that clip but the broader question of expectation setting around tim walz, if you remember right at the time he rolled out that the narrative was oh, he can't speak off the teleprompter. he can't do it. he doesn't know. and he actually did quite well when doing so it's all about lowering the expectations. you know, it's funny. these debates are largely about just managing, not having that viral moment we saw admiral james

stockdale there and we all have to snl, which we were talking about the brake skewered him. you forget the admiral james stockdale was a war hero and a decorated navy vet who had been a prisoner of war. but the one thing people remember is that one line and the goal for both of these candidates tonight is just avoid that happening, right? >> last word well, it's not a debate. let's just be candid. none of these are debates in the traditional sense of the word there just a series of answers and you're going to answer what you want to do. you know, look, i think tim walz needs to be tim walz. i agree. don't you know, he's going to he's going to say what he wants to say. i think j.d. vance is the one that may go down these rabbit holes with things that he said. he said some crazy stuff. but, you know, he came to springfield, ohio. >> i know. but but tim walz nice to talk about where he is in this race, what they're doing. >> i'd stay away from the childless cat. ladies, stay away from springfield. those are going to come out anyway, talk about what they're going to do for america and the hope and the joy that tim walz let's brings. i talk about my

mole football team that walked out on that stage at the dnc. that was a moment, folks, i got to tell you home and spoke to a lot of people across this country. >> all right. you can watch tim walz and jd vance's first face off in their vp debate hosted by cbs news tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. and i'll be heading to you or to do some of our pre debate coverage. don't miss it straight ahead here on cnn this morning, we continue to bring you the latest on the devastation across the southeast and the destruction left behind by hurricane helene plus new this morning, tens of thousands of dock workers go on strike. potentially massive disruption to the economy. just weeks before election day special event, the vice presidential debates tonight at nine and i need these items printed with her logo by friday. >> certainly.

core.com we will no longer allow the decisions to be made about our bodies without our input. >> so today, this is a step in and further fight. but we are not going to take this as just this huge success a judge, in georgia ruling that the states six-week abortion ban is unconstitutional move paves the way for expanded access to abortion services in that state but it might be temporary as the state is already said, it plans to appeal the decision. the ruling puts the spotlight back on the fight over abortion access in a battleground state just 35 days before election day. this was kamala harris campaigning on the issue just last month in atlanta this is a health care crisis. >> and donald trump is the architect of this crisis. if he is elected again as president, donald trump will go further donald trump has tried to downplay the importance of

abortion access on the rail i think that abortion is become much less of an issue. >> it's a very i think it's actually going to be a very small nation. i think the abortion issue it's been taken down many notches. i don't think it's i don't think it's a big factor anymore really likely hoping that's the case for democratic senator doug jones of alabama is still with us senator. you heard both of them there and trump obviously trying to say this isn't going to be a big deal. but of course we also learn turned about the deaths, preventable deaths of two women in georgia who were struggling to get the care that they needed and were affected by this law. what is how is how does this, is this going to matter? >> well, i think you nailed it. you said it just going to put the spotlight back on issue. we tend to ebb and flow with the issues a president okay this is the one true that's been throughout the out this but again, the spotlight has been dam it's been bright, it's going to be bright again and remember, we've got, you got,

you know, referendums on the ballot in nevada and texts in florida those are going to drive turnout. and i think in georgia this is going to certainly drive turnout. it reminds fans, people what is at stake. it reminds women across the country, not just in georgia, but it reminds women across the country what's at stake. it reminds men who have daughters and wives and families what's at stake in this election. so i think that's a very, very big decision at just the right time for kamala harris. >> there was a senate candidate in ohio, bernie moreno, who said that it was crazy, quote, unquote for women to vote on the single issue. and then he wondered why women over 50 who he seemed to be suggesting, well, you can't have children. why do you care? that this issue, what impact do comments like that, you know, i think you go back in history and i think comments like that show on sensitivity. it shows that they're out of touch with the electorate. they're out of touch with how people view

themselves as individual. it didn't matter, you know, my mom passed away. she was 92-years-old last december. she would have been so offended at that. now, she had long long, long since passed was well over 15. she she had a daughter. she's got a daughter-in-law. she's got granddaughters and or had granddaughter and so i just think it's so offensive to people that if you're not personally affected, then you don't then you just don't have a reason to care. that's not true. that's not really who we are in america. we should care about every not just our own self. and i think that's a real problem that a lot of these republicans candidates have these day. >> we were talking earlier in the show with ron brownstein, who is looking at how donald trump is trying to appeal to some women. and what trump has been doing on the trail is by saying that he will protect women. let me just show you that clip where he says he'll be people's protector

thought women likes me i never thought i had keeps saying women don't like me. i don't believe that 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 a goal, he wants to be their protector. well, i am as president, i have to be a protector. >> i mean, obviously we're playing what he said on a rally here on this show. but what do you make of that message you know, look, it's the kind of thing that got him in trouble. >> i think that there is you know, hundreds of billions of dollars in judgments against him based on that kind of i am your protector. i am i am the person women like me, women loved want to cause i'm a star and i think you've seen that j.d. vance has adopted that same kind of paternalistic attitude. and, you know, look, there are, there are probably i'm sure folks in this country that can

relate to that who see that both men and women. but i don't think in today's world that that is something that you're looking for. in a president that is that paternalistic, that is basically, i think demeaning the abilities of so many women across this country, both in their personal and professional lives those are the kind of things i think that people are going to really pay attention to. and it's going to affect races down the ballot very interesting, great senator doug jones will be back with our panel. >> okay. sounds good. >> still ahead here on cnn this morning, the death toll from hurricane helene sadly continues to rise ahead. how state governments are responding? and how the disaster is impacting the race for the white house plus, were just hours away from what is potentially the last biggest debate in this campaign, trump campaign senior adviser jason miller joins prince us with his thoughts on what we'll see tonight isn't this isn't sure i want to add mr. vice president speaking. >> i'm speaking fuel the trump tax credit mr. vice president, i'm speaking i'm speaking. if

supplies mules are now helping to deliver food, water, and diapers to those remote mountainous these rivers recede, we are seeing just piles people's houses that were destroyed, buildings that were destroyed, cars overturned trash, and debris. >> i mean, it reminds me country now where they had to go door to door and look in each vehicle at mark whether or not anyone was in it alright. >> let's get to our meteorologist, derek van dam. derek the devastation. just unimaginable and of course so many questions about preparation and what these communities are going to do. now yeah. and i think this also reminded the public that these hurricanes that we often forecast days in advance or not just a coastal storm, look at the impacts over 500 miles away

directly related to a hurricane, how do you even compartmentalize coming back to a scene like this? >> i mean, this is chimney rock, north carolina, and it's also a reminder to people that in our new warmer, warmer world, we're experiencing these more frequent heavy rain events for every two degrees fahrenheit of warming that our world goes through and undertakes we have 8% more water vapor in the atmosphere. that means that we have the ability to hold more moisture, the ability to create these more frequent and more extreme heavy rain events, just like we saw now there are still some tropical moisture residual, residual moisture from helene that is still in the atmosphere and the rivers there are still flooding in crusting across downstream south carolina as that water makes its way towards the east coast, you can almost follow the track of destruction with 1.5 million customers without power left in helene's wake. now, we need to focus on the gulf of mexico. again, this is troubling news

but the latest computer models have simmer down on the potential development, but i do want to talk about this area here, potentially over the next seven days, there was a 40% chance of development once again, in the same area, kasie, i'm sure, not welcome news for folks, right. it's such a hard time, of course, recovering from what they've already seen. derek van dam for us this morning. derek, thank you. and as disaster recovery efforts continue to unfold across the southeast, hurricane helene's aftermath is also of course, playing out on the presidential campaign trail monday afternoon, donald trump visited valdosta, georgia, where storm cleanup is underway while there he seemed to suggest president it's an biden, isn't responding to the storm the governor is 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 hey, respond to what they're having a very hard time getting the getting the president or the body won't get on it. of course, the vice president, she's out someplace please campaigning, looking for money.

>> so that's monday, right? those claims appear to be false because georgia's republican governor, brian kemp says he has spoken with the president about federal aid 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 now that things that we need just to call him directly, which i appreciate that so of course, again, trump's in georgia on monday saying the governor can't get the president on the phone. >> the governor on monday says he got a call from the president the previous day. he missed the call. but then he called him right back. president biden was asked about trump's claims during a press briefing in the oval office he's lying and the governor told him he was lying the governor told me he's lying. >> i spoken to the governor spending time with him and he

told me his line, i don't know why he does this and the reason i get so angry about i don't care about what he says about me i care what he what he communicates people that are in me implies that we're not doing everything possible we are all right. >> our panel is back here. mike dubke. i mean, this is a situation where the focus needs to be on the people who are recovering from this horrible storm from us as reporters who are looking at it from everyone else, president trump seemed to make it about himself here and his criticisms of president biden why is he doing? and what impact does this have? >> what i mean, we've seen storm politics affect presidential races are always seems to be a big hurricane just before a presidential election. over. it is, it is hurricane season. it is hurricane season and we'd seen different different styles of politics here where it's, it's helped the incumbent president and where it's hurt the incumbent because then we can talk about sandy. >> we can talk about katrina and all of that. i think, you know, look, trump was on the

ground. i fully expect that harris was on the ground in georgia, and i fully expect that with two battleground states of georgia and north carolina, that vice president harris will be there it's going to be a bit of a struggle figuring out so they sent harris, do they send biden because of the storm politics? so i appreciate the question, but i think both both, both political parties in both candidates are going to look to say, i could do a better job with response. and that's ultimately what you saw from former president trump. >> and it puts them all in, like to pick up your point but i'll situation, you know, we're all baseball fans at this table and often when they take a picture out of a game, this sportscaster will say, he can't win it, but he can lose it. and the scenario here is one in which a candidate can maybe get the brownie points of showing showing competence in a time of stress, but also really can lose an election by appearing all the things you're saying, mike, whether it's not carrying insensitive to political, not political enough, not, not empathetic

enough. and it's a world of very unpredictable. >> but it is it donald trump was in georgia. he did he did biden or harris because this is all this sort of theater of it. what matters is what they're doing and where the responses and it is i think this week all the things we've been talking about it's a reminder of what this job that kamala harris and donald trump are running for actually has its managing a war in the middle east potentially certainly what this is a war so far they could get bigger. >> it's dealing with flood responses. it's dealing with the port strike. it's that kind of stuff. and then we can let ourselves be distracted sometimes by the theater of but it really, i don't think it mattered at all for trump to be there for the actual response to the storm. it won't really matter at all. if biden or harris goes for what it will do to the storm, it's just do they look like they're carrying do they look like they're in charge different focus on comment was such a problem. that's because the words did not match the right we should focus on the other

didn't go during katrina in that he got he got dinged for a couple of things like his his approval was starting to go down at that point that people weren't sort of done with him. and this was 2005 there's a couple of things. >> first of all, you don't need the president, you need any the vice president don't need people coming into a disaster area right now, it is disruptive i have lived through those things and i and it is incredibly disruptive and they know that the other thing i would say is that i know joe biden. joe biden is going to do the best job he can for the people regardless, these are all red states generally, i know georgia is in play in north carolina may be in play. i think it is, but the fact of the matter is he is representing all people he is going to do his best. but if there is anybody, that has played politics with whether it is donald trump, you can only remember sharpie gate when he kind of read did the hurricane map and i think it's just wrong and i think while people like to see their leaders doing some things, they want to see action. they want to see things that are happening it is

difficult in this particular situation. you've got destruction for, as i said, 500 miles, this is not like just farmers. this is really, really very difficult to try to get disaster across the board. >> but speed matters, speed matters. >> and this is where there could be a hit on the biden-harris admin and a situation if they don't get relief aid? >> no, not them. but relief aid to these devastated areas fast enough. and we were sending it in by mule know because we have to because we have to ration. alright, coming up next here on cnn this morning, nearly 50,000 port workers go on strike how this walkout could send shockwaves through the economy right ahead of the election, plus jason miller will be here. we're going to ask the trump campaign senior advisor what to expect at tonight's vice presidential debate let me help you what the difference ms ferraro, between iran and the embassy in lebanon? let me just say, first of all, did i almost

harris and donald trump to be their respective running mates, while walz is reportedly a bit nervous heading into tonight's showdown, the trump campaign made clear during a press call yesterday that they are not underestimating walz's debate ability 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 a feminist caricature. are we see it rallies pointing to come late harris and dancing about on the stage all right. >> joining us now is the man that you just heard there. trump campaign senior adviser jason miller. jason, good morning i'm glad to have you on the program. >> good morning so that was your evaluation of tim walz's skills on the debate stage? >> it differs remarkably from that of your boss donald trump, who had this to say about tim walz. watch

looking for the sound bite of donald trump on fox nation on monday, where he's talking about tim walz, are jays where the bidding of a technical glitch watch 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. he went into the michigan gave the other day you got booed out. i went into the alabama game the 120,000 people went crazy so jason is tim walz a moron, well, two things can be true at the same time here. again, the tim walz that we see on the campaign trail as he's bouncing around and dancing and pointing the kamala harris and looking kind of goofy is not the tim walz that shows up in debates. and kasie, i will tell you i've watched more debate footage of tim walz and anyone should ever be forced to do. but here's the thing. he's been in office for two decades. j.d. vance has been official office for two years, but tim walz has been in office for two decades. he's good. he was in congress. he is in his second term as governor of the state

of minnesota when he shows up in hits that stage, he's done so planned. he's on-point. any lies through his teeth and that's the thing that most people who are getting in tonight or many of the people i should say will not have watched tim walz bouncing around on the campaign stage. what they will see is tonight they'll see tim walz for the first time and he will come across a very much an off shucks minutes soda persona. but what he's going to have an issue is how does he defend his record? how does he defend kamala harris's record? and to be honest, he has to defend joe biden's record as well. >> what do you think that someone who is a moron can be good on the debate stage, i guess. i guess that's the part i'm tripping on. >> well, no, it's a good two things can be true here because tim walz, when you see the issue is that facts are his kryptonite when he starts getting pressed on the actual issues, how does he go and defend? the inflation record of kamala harris? how does he defend kamala harris following 20 million illegals into the country? that's where i see. i think you'll start to see it come unraveling a little bit

for tim walz. but on the debate stage, it's almost like a muscle memory. it's like getting back in the gym if you haven't been in a while, he knows exactly what to do on that stage. he's well programmed because this has been his life for the past two decades. so with all due respect to my boss trust me, when he gets the debate stage, tim walz is going to be good and j.d. vance, i think is going to do very well also, but do not underestimate tim walz it can be much better than people think. >> well, i'll just say that we're engaging in some good old-fashioned expectation setting, which is a classic campaign tactic. jason, but let's move on. you've been in debate prep with j.d. vance you've been the main sort of trump team member. that's been involved in that you mentioned facts. you said they would be tim walz's kryptonite. the facts around what's been going on in springfield, ohio, and the things that j.d. vance have had to say about that. sure. to come up on the debate stage tonight the facts have been but the officials and springfield

have repeatedly told vance that the things that he's been saying not true, what are we going to hear from vance tonight on that issue? on the stage? >> well, i think senator vance are going to use this as an opportunity to talk about the migrant crisis that's impacting america and the fact that under kamala harris, every single community around the country has been turned into a border community springfield, ohio is a small town i believe there are approximately earliest before the influx of migrants, both legal and illegal. there are about 60,000 other, about 80,000 people or so in the town. and what's happened is that many of these folks who have come, were illegal. they're granted tps, temporary protected status by biden kamala harris and that's created this over well, mean surge on whether it be schools, whether it be hospitals, we see from the hospital, there's things, outbreak such as tuberculosis, even an hiv increase. a lot of things, a really taxing the services law enforcement, migrant crime is out of control. but it's not

just springfield, ohio, casey, you look at sharla roy, pennsylvania. you look at prayer. do sheen in wisconsin, these communities that are thousands of miles away from the southern border are now them selves, border communities? and that's something that has to change. and again, it's not just legal migrants coming in. it's mainly illegal migrants and also what kamala harris on with tps, i think has to be reversed well, look, let's just be clear that that that program was not initially created under the biden-harris administration? that's that's simply not but but specific, but specific to what's happening with haiti and with haitians, that was something that kamala harris did jason before i let you go, i do want to follow up on something we heard from you on that that press call where you've referred to tim walz as a feminist that stuck out to me. >> why, why did you use that term? >> i mean you look at the, way that tim walz dances around on the stage that's just the way that it struck me. and so that was my characterization and

that's tim walz's twice that he's kinda goofy, bounces around. he doesn't look like bouncing or not. >> i mean, it feminine has a lot of specific connotations to it. >> well, goofy and bouncing around. it's not someone who comes across is this alpha male, someone who is a killer that's going to come out there and be sharp on the debate stage. but that's what we're going to see tonight with tim walz. again, not to say that jd vance's are going to show up and do very well. but tim walz will be an absolute killer. he's not going to be this goofy caricature of himself. we normally see when he's on stage and doing the weird pointing thing to kamala harris, tim walz is good. i would say the advantage definitely goes to him since he's been doing this for song. let me tell you where j.d. vance, though, is going to excel, where he's going to axel's when he's talking about his humble upbringings, as well as his military service also, nobody defense president trump's record on building a great economy and securing our border, border better than j.d. vance. that's where i think the matchups going to be j.d. >> vance did say race at a recent appearance that he didn't think that kamala

harris is background, had any bearing on whether she could fight inflation why will he say his background matter? there's first-year. >> well, j.d. vance, i think as someone who has been impacted by a tough economy, someone who grew up in very humble circumstances, he tells a story about knowing what it's like to have to grow up and not sure if you can have a heat turned on that evening, raise largely by his grandmother, also someone who spent time in the private sector in business. so he understands the economy i don't think he understands what we have to do. and also their thing too is i don't think you have to be a ph.d. to know that what kamala harris did with those two votes to increase spending it radical levels launched inflation. that's what it was. it was cutting off the energy with their executive orders and then also with those votes in favor of record spending. that's what did it. >> i i still i mean, if she's going to talk about her middle-class upbringing as relevance and he's going to talk about his lower class working class upbringing as relevant. i fail to see why they don't both matter in the contract that you've given us,

but we're out of time. jason miller, thank you very much for coming on today. i really appreciate it. >> thanks, kasie. >> all right. 57 minutes past the hour. here's your morning roundup. new overnight, nearly 50,000 dock workers from maine to texas are now on strike. workers hit the picket line shortly after midnight strike the cause serious disruption to the flow of goods and almost all ports from maine to texas major league baseball's all-time hit king has died. pete rose, best known for his grit and his hustle in his 24 season career 18 of those years spent with the cincinnati reds but of course a gambling scandal and his refusal to own up and up to it cost him a spot in the hall of fame. charlie hustle was 83-years-old new york governor kathy hochul weighing in on the federal charges surrounding their eric adams. she said in a private phone call, he needs to clean house however, she's not ask adams to resign. instead, she makes clear that adams needs to work on regaining the trust of new york residents now, i will

leave you with this today. president jimmy carter turns 100 under president, i want to ask you to help me next he's burst of president to reach triple digits. >> carter was sworn in as the 39th president of the united states in 1977 during his first and only term, he created the department of energy and education, as well as fema maybe knows most notably, he oversaw the camp david accords a historic peace agreement between egypt and israel were privileged to witness tonight a significant achievement in the cause of peace after leaving office, carter dedicated the rest of his life to helping others. since 1984, carter and his wife rosalyn, donated a week of his time each year to habitat for humanity hard working on predictable adventurous challenging but

always gratifying. we've never had, never been on a habitat project they we didn't get more out of it. then we put into it but when asked what he considered his biggest accomplishment, he said this well, the best thing i ever was marrying roselyne that does a feather color of my life so happy. 100th birthday. mr. president. senator jones, 100 years. i mean, what a legacy he has. he's been in hospice for a year yeah. >> no, it's it's really remarkable and i think, you know, people today forget a lot about jimmy carter from the 1960s and the 1970s when he really was one of the first southern governors to really talk about racial relations and ending discrimination people forget about his views on the environment and climate fema right now, we're seeing what happened fema was, was started because jimmy carter saw what the federal government could do to help peop
