pressure on the government to use this moment right now to go after iran's nuclear capability prevent iran from ever developing some sort of nuclear bomb, which they see as a major threat potentially down the road to israel's very existence yeah, that's certainly true. will fend one of the things that prime minister netanyahu has to decide is whether or not he's going to go along that hard line rule that you pointed out or whether he's going to send a message as we've been talking about just a few minutes ago and obviously the israeli cabinet has been meeting discussing this into the night, will obviously learn more in the coming hours. >> it's going to be a dangerous situation suspect it's going to escalate thank you all for joining us has been seen in special coverage of the iranian strikes on israel here in the united states and the vice presidential debate is only five hours chris of dow, i'll be back 5:00 p.m. eastern for special coverage leading up to that event anderson will join the coverage at 7:00 p.m. eastern.

>> but first right now, the lead with jake tapper starts right now welcome to the lead. i'm jake tapper and we are following two major breaking stories. i am right now inside the spin room at cbs studio goes in new york hours away from tonight's first and only 2024, vice presidential debate. but the world's attention might be elsewhere at roughly 12:30 p.m. eastern you're in time. iran launched a major attack on israel firing nearly 200 ballistic missiles according to us officials, cnn's jim sciutto and his crew were live on an air in israel at the time as air raid sirens sounded and missiles began to rain down overhead >> okay, guys, we got to get off the roof. these are coming down right next to us here. >> he's do jim, please do they're coming down one just about. we got to go inside

sciutto and his team are thankfully safe. >> we are waiting for reports as to the damage done by the iranian souls, the israel defense forces reports that most of iran's missiles it's were intercepted by israel's air defenses. but the idf also says a few did make impact in central and southern israel. they are assessing the situation. we will let you know if they hit any thing or any one of note irans attack one day before the jewish holiday of russia's xana, the jewish new year follows israel's launch of a ground operation in southern lebanon targeting iran-backed hezbollah. that's a group that the u.s. considers to be a terrorist group and a strike friday, of course, which killed hezbollah's longtime leader, hassan nasrallah this intense escalation raises the stakes perhaps for tonight's vice presidential debate here in new york, the showdown between democratic governor tim walz and republican senator j.d. vance was already arguably more critical. than your average vp showdown, given that this presidential race is a nail-biter, or perhaps the closest in modern history. any

slammed any slip-up tonight could have implications for election day. we're going to have much more on what we expect in that debate just ahead, but we're going to start in the middle east with cnn's jim sciutto live in tel aviv and jim, you obviously were on that balcony in tel aviv when the attack started. you have reported for many conflict zones throughout your reporting life. how does today's attack? compare listen, i haven't seen anything like this and the concern at the peak of it was not just that an iranian missile might get through those defenses, but that one of the interceptors, after striking one of those missiles, that a fragment of it or the missile that it struck? >> would fall to the ground. and in fact, that did happen. there were multiple impacts in and around tel aviv. we saw some of them just to the north and south of the hotel where we are and at the peak of it as the interceptors and the missiles were meeting over the center of the city. several of them were over our heads and of course, the concern is that one

of them is going to cause down. thankfully, the israeli military has said no deaths reported inside israel. we did hear from jake sullivan, the u.s. national security advisor, that there is a report of a death of a palestinian in the west bank. but some combination of the missile defenses folks obeying orders to go into shelters and perhaps good fortune there were not more casualties. they're still assessing damage and i can tell just by seeing some of the explosions that we witnessed on some of those impacts. one in particular, just to the north of us, which seemed quite large. i'd be surprised if there wasn't at least some noticeable damage given the size of those blasts less it a significant attack. we now know 180 missiles. we also now know that the u.s. in addition to israel took actions to shoot down some of those missiles two us destroyers in particular firing interceptors, were told

a major escalation. the damage, the casualties certainly could have been far worse israel says it will respond to what the iranians just did. >> what kind of response do you think the israelis are contemplating? >> there's no question. there will be a military response. the idf has been quite public about that. there's gonna be a cabinet meeting this evening. the only question becomes target. and will that target include iran? and the thinking is very likely, yes, then the question becomes, what exactly in iran and how extensively you remember in april following iran's previous missile, in that case, it was also a drone attack. israel did respond, though with only one missile strike on one installation near isfahan, which is the site of one of the nuclear facilities. but on a missile defense battery, there this response, given the size of this attack,

is likely to be larger the question really is, where, how extensively and the biggest burning question i would say jake take would be due israel's targets include irans, nuclear facilities, because that would be quite an escalation. and one that you well, listen in the cycle that we've been locked in for some time, one that you would expect iran to then retaliate in kind yeah. >> i also think a big question out there is what is the the u.s. going to do the us government warned before the attack that the attack would carry, carry quote severe consequences for iran if they actually carried it out what are you hearing about a possible united states bonds so the u.s. >> response to the april attack was sanctions. a favorite tool of this administration, both for iran, for russia, for china the pentagon spokesperson was

asked repeatedly, would there be a u.s. military response personally, i find that unlikely that the u.s. would militarily respond. the u.s. footing has been defend israel certainly in missile attacks back in most circumstances, israel's right. certainly the defend itself and all circumstances. but, but back, e back with some caveats and some encouragement not to escalate but i think a us participation in an israeli strike on iran in particular is highly unlikely because the u.s. goal, throughout the last almost 12 months now since october 7 has been to try to keep this war from expanding and cajoling all the sides and not just israel controlling iran sometimes via intermediaries to prevent a further escalation. so is it further sanctions possible a military strike on iran seems far-fetched? >> i think hearing all right.

jim sciutto in tel aviv, israel. thank you so much. let's bring in lieutenant colonel nadav shoshani. he's a spokesperson for the israeli military. thank you so much for joining us. what can you tell us about the scope of iran's attack today? do you expect more strikes and do you have any reports on casualties? >> well, jake, thanks for having me approximately at 7:30 local time around carried out an attack of 180 ballistic missiles from iranian soil towards israel basically sending the whole of israel and bomb shelters, talking about almost 10 million people running to bomb shelters to find, i am currently in the scene of one of the places where shrapnel from these huge ballistic missiles hit. and i can tell you, are aerial defense system alongside with our partners, the u.s. and other allies were able to thwart two, most of those missiles, but not all of them. there have been some henson and central israel and some hits in southern israel. and this is

one of the largest and most outrageous attacks by this iranian terror regime dragging the region into wider escalation, trying to push us into a wider escalation with this unprecedented attack against israel coming down one just about what can you tell us about how israel is going to respond sovereign country. we have a right to defend ourselves. we have the right to protect ourselves against these kinds of attacks. there will be consequences to this attack and we showed just a few days our ability to strike precisely and fierce philly 1,500 miles from his will when we attack the houthis in yemen. and we have the abilities to and we will choose the time in place and the way we will response to this outrageous attack against israeli civilians, sending basically all of it israel to bomb shelters lieutenant colonel, what can you tell us about any casualties?

>> jim sciutto mentioned that the u.s. had referred to a palestinian american and the west bank being killed possibly. do you know anything about that or any other any other casualties? >> well, this large scale attack happened just recently we're still assessing the situation i can tell you in the moment we know of multiple people injured and we know of a palestinian who was killed by this attack in the area of jericho and we are still assessing the situation because this scale of attack is one of the largest attacks we've seen definitely in the history of israel, maybe in the history of ballistic missiles attacks and this outrageous attack, i think the number of casualties is so slow, not because this wasn't one of the most largest attacks, but because one our civilians and listening to the home-front guidance and basically, most of israel hiding in bomb shelters for over an hour. we're talking

about 10 million people hiding bomb shelters from this attack in over an hour. and we're also talking about a very impressive presentation of aerial defense, also by israel, also by the u.s. us absence and also by other countries supporting us against this iranian terror regime will the israeli response include israel striking inside of iran? this attack has been carried out toward israel from iranian soil there. multiple options on the table. we will act according to what the political echelon decides. and there will be consequences to this outrageous attack by iran. this escalatory historic move by aram, there will be escalation that we will respond and we will choose the time and place to respond precisely, but fiercely i have

analysts say that iran does not does not actually want to escalate matters. and the proof of that, according to this argument, which i am not making is that casualties are so low and so few of these missiles hit respond to that analysis, if you would well, jake, the amount of bullets i'm talking one, ballistic missiles can take down a skyscraper. >> we're talking about 180 ballistic missiles, shot simultaneously towards israeli communities hitting schools, schools where children were just a few hours for this attack. >> and the only reason the results of it are not tragic and catastrophic is one the people of israel hiding in shelters for over an hour into this presentation of aerial defense by israel and the u.s i think one of the most advanced aerial defense operations in the world and filled there were hits in israel, we are still

assessing the situation. >> still people were injured, people were killed by this attack. and you do not do an attack that is not an escalatory move with 180 ballistic missiles, i'll tell you this. no other country in the world would accept ten ballistic missiles. and i can't imagine anyone taking 180 ballistic missiles to our country, our country has a right to defend itself. and i think the u.s. has also made it clear that they stood next to us today by our sides, protecting ourselves from this outrageous attack for their reign of terror regime we will not. accept this. and this is definitely an escalatory move definitely a move to try and hurt in harm and kill civilians idf international spokesperson, lieutenant colonel nadav shoshani. thank you so much, sir. appreciate it thanks for having me, jake joining us now, former secretary of defense here in the united states, former senator from maine, william cohen secretary cohen, once we know the full scale of

the damage in israel how involved? how do you expect the united states to be in whatever comes next well, it all depends on how the israelis bring us into their planning. >> the biden administration apparently was caught by surprise in terms of the attack okay. and the elimination of nasrallah i think the president probably expressed his concern about that not being involved in some way, being alerted to it but i think that the israelis, they have a number of options. my my guess is and i'm only speculating here. but i think that they will take this opportunity to inflict far more serious penalties upon the uranium and they have to date i think this is an opportunity they see as they've been waiting for they've got nasrallah who's been eliminated. the leadership in hezbollah eliminated. they've got hamas are hiding out underground bunkers in gaza.

and now they have the iranians who would have looked weak if they had and responded. and now look weak, that they have think okay. >> before i begin, i wanted to say a few words about iran's missile attack today at my direction, united states military actively supported the defense of israel and we're still assessing the impact but based on what we know now, the attack period have been defeated and ineffective. and this is testament israeli military capability and us military i'm also is also a testament to intensive planning between the united states and israel, not to anticipate and defend against the brazen attack. we expected make no mistake. the united states is fully, fully, fully supportive of israel and i just got been spent the morning in part of the afternoon in the situation room and meeting with my whole national security team and consulting with the israelis

indirectly, because i'm in terms of their impact on us and the national security team has been, as i said, constant contact with israeli officials and their counterparts as going to continue to be brought to me throughout the day. we still love to share updates and when we get them, we will do that and now i want to turn it over going to talk much the damage done by this, this horrible hurricane. my top priorities, i mean, it's assume all right. >> president biden, there i've talking about what happened there secretary cohen still with us? if so, we can bring him back to get him to secretary cohen. i'm so sorry we got preempted there by rolling tape from the white house. but there you have president biden commenting on what happened pinned us officials, as you know, have been pushing a ceasefire but it does not seem like those

efforts have come to fruition in any way. you alluded to the fact that planes were in the air before for the israeli killing of hassan salah, before president biden was told about the attack and these ceasefire talks have largely failed, or at least efforts to get them to the table. fears of a regional war only growing what comes next? do you think is, is there any chance that things can be, there can be a de-escalation well, there's a chance, but i don't think it's a realistic i think the israelis feel that they've got the upper hand now that iran or its proxies are on their heels, and now is the time to really take it to the source of their problems that's iran. >> so would expect that they would level a very serious attack in iran against a number of facilities possibly their oil industry, which

conceivably, their nuclear facilities. this has been a prime objective of the israelis at some point in time to prevent iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon, iran seem to be getting closer but to that possibility and i think the israelis are going to at least think seriously about whether now it was the time to launch a military attack against the iranians will have to wait and see, i think that's why president biden is right. please have him interrupt me anytime in the future. but i think he's absolutely right to say that we need to be in very close let's touch with the israelis at this point. no more surprises. we need to be in full consultation and part of any operation that might involve the united states being attacked, either our soldiers and airmen over in the region, or possibly if iran should strike here in the united states through asymmetric means, through acts of terror in soft targets in europe, in the united states and elsewhere. so we have to be very concerned about that

former defense secretary and maine senator william cohen, always an honor to have you on the show, sir. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, jake much more ahead on the breaking news, iran attacking israel with a barrage of roughly 180 missiles. >> what might this mean for any diplomatic efforts in the middle east by the u.s. or others. i'm going to talk with a key member of the house armed services and foreign affairs committee plus tonight's vice presidential debate, who has more at stake senator j.d. vance or governor tim walz will examine that and much more. live from new york jackson for almost 20 years, abacus life has been purchasing life insurance policies from seniors. >> and in just seconds you can use the free calculator and abacus pays.com to learn what your policy might be worrying for many of my clients. >> selling their life insurance to abacus was right for them. >> for a state plan, don't sell their laps. your policy without going to abacus pays.com. first, there are no

at all, matters can be de-escalated yeah. >> jake, this is spinning completely out of control and i think it stems from a failed middle east policy from this administration at some point, they've got to look at the mirror and say that they're de-escalation approach, that their focus on gaza and a ceasefire and pressuring israel hasn't worked and is not work and what does work is maximum pressure on iran and just a few years ago, their currency was tanking their foreign reserves were tanking, they were exploiting almost zero oil and most importantly, jake, this was a metric it paid attention to hezbollah and hamas and their proxies were all complaining that they were out of cash. this was in 2019. they were literally out of funds to continue their attacks so until the administration pivots on iran and we saw jake sullivan get just get asked what consequences has a ron suffered from the last attack and he

couldn't answer the question and i found it just amazing inexplicable that the pentagon spokesman wouldn't at least say all options are on the table in terms of a us response and that we are prepared to assist israel and their response at least put the threat on the table in hopes of deterring iran from future the attacks. but this administration is unwilling to pivot. and as long as iran is flush with cash no matter what tactical successes israel is having, which have been significant it's going to continue. they are going to help hezbollah and hamas rebuild two us officials did tell cnn that dozens of us service members have been sent to cyprus should a full-blown war erupt, i do wonder if iran continues to get involved with more attacks such as the one we saw today do you anticipate more us troops will be sent to the middle east? and do you think the united states should play a kinetic, an armed role

in retaliating or responding to iran's attack on a us ally but the thing is jake, that it kinetic response was really unnecessary. what should we be doing? the house passed secondary sanctions on chinese buyers of iranian oil. 90% of iran's oil is going to china we put sanctions on their refiners. the senate won't take it up. the administration won't florida wife, we could put sanctions back on their missile program that this administration allowed to founder our hostages, which unfortunately are now 360 days. how about an approach of every week that goes by, we're going to turn up the consequences on iran until iran you tell hamas to release them but instead, i mean, this is the definition of insanity. i mean, they're they're just banging their head against a policy that's not working so until they pivot on iran and he could do offensive cyber. there's a lot you could put on the table

without without the war, but yet they just refused to do it it's inexplicable let me turn to the debate which is happening here in just a few hours. >> the vice presidential debate, senator j.d. vance possibly going to face questions about the springfield, ohio matter in springfield, ohio, as you know, the republican mayor and the republican congressmen, the republican governor, are all denouncing the false allegations that vance has made about haitian migrants to springfield are eating people's cats and dogs when and if that comes up how do you think senator vance should respond? >> well first i think that would be incredibly unfortunate if that's what the moderate raiders raise jake, we had a hurricane that's devastated four states. we have 40% of our ports that are going on strike right now that the administration did not get ahead of, that can devastate

our economy 5 billion a day that we stand to lose. and of course, we already have one war in europe. war exploding in the middle east. there are so many other things that we should be talking about. but look, if that does come up, i expect it to lead to a conversation about immigration and the effects of immigration facts of the parole policy that this administration has fostered. and what are the effects of depend debate the number. but anywhere from ten to 20 million illegal immigrants that are stressing our health care system. stressing or schools suppressed stressing communities like springfield and we see no end in sight, and we haven't even started talking deaths from fentanyl. there have been policy prescriptions on the table light going after the cartels, using military assets to support law enforcement, putting sanctions on chinese manufacturers of fentanyl i think there's a lot to debate eight and discussed.

i expect senator vance to talk a lot about what worked under president trump. what hasn't worked under biden and harris. and i haven't seen really any policy prescriptions of how to move forward. and then i expect walls to try to make it about to make it about vance and his personality or his character. but i hope this sticks to policy just for the record, i didn't mean nora and margaret bringing up both springfield. >> i thought governor walz might do and congressman mike waltz of florida, not tim walz of minnesota, which so much for joining us early yes. with a t. exactly. thanks for joining us today. appreciate. uh, governor walz has faced criticism for embellishing hearts of his personal and military record. have will he handle that tonight on the biggest stage of his career, stay right here. that's next she's no idea. >> she sitting on a goldmine. >> she doesn't know that if

and center, senator respectively. let's watch a moment from vance's 2022, ohio senate debate when his democratic opponent than congress tim ryan, called vance out for raising money for the legal defense funds of january 6, rioters the one guy tried to raise money, forgot four years in prison. >> this is ridiculous. i'm not taking a backseat, do you i brought $500 million back to fund police in ohio. >> so, you know, i've got i've got three little kids including a two-year-old and one of the things that's true of toddlers and is also apparently true of career politicians, is that they accuse you of doing the very thing that they do themselves all the time at the height, at the height tim of the blm riots, i've condemned political violence, whether it comes from the left or the right now you might notice there, senator vance completely ignored the january 6 attack line and conveniently moved on to more friendly terrain. >> the blm protests. now as far as governor walz's past debates

here is walz getting animated during an exchange with his republican opponent in a 2018 minutes suit minnesota gubernatorial debate you are the greatest feel-good candidate i've ever seen, and you're good at it go ahead, joe i believe politicians should actually be honest about what they're going to do rather than just trying to make you feel good. first of all, the feel-good canopies, this no, this is about leadership. this is about building coalitions and you don't understand budgeting. >> i understand the federal government. it's a big mess, but we actually have to balance our budget in minnesota. unlike the fact federal government that guns are in charge of the federal government. >> and the democrats used to be we will see how these different debates styles play out to this evening between walz and vance. >> the debate is being hosted by a cbs. you can watch the entire debate, however, and our full special coverage right here on scene an then no need to change the channel. let's bring in democratic congressman from florida, jared moskowitz,

congressman. it's it's highly likely that some of the shall we call them embellishments, governor walz has has made will come up tonight. his claim that he handled assault weapons quote, in war even though he's never actually been in war, even though he did serve honorably in the national guard for 24, 25 years, he said that he and his wife used ivf for fertility treatment. they didn't actually use ivf days. the different treatment he's exaggerated his trips to china made false accounts that the time about what he's running for congress. but in 1995, dui arrest, et cetera. i don't know if the moderators are going to bring it up, but, i'm guessing senator vance will how should governor walz respond when called out on some of the embellishments mistruths lives, whatever you want to call them in front of it millions of people watching tonight jake. >> i mean, look, some of those distinction without a difference j.d. vance is a good debater. governor walz is good communicator. i think governor

walz will explain those and then pivot to the lies that donald trump has been telling the american people, i'm the lies that j.d. vance has been telling let's actually the whole eating the cats and eating the dogs that springfield, ohio i expect vance will be aggressive and quite personal in his attacks against governor walz tonight and probably vice versa how do you think walz should match in terms of energy? >> obviously, you suggesting that he'll pivot and talk about trump, which i'm guessing is the plan. but in terms of energy, vance can be rather pointed. what do you think walz should be like okay. >> and governor walz's is a happy guy, right? and he's a good communicator. so i think he should show his personality and yes, he could go on the offense. you know, he should ask j.d. vance why to defend summons that donald trump said he should ask j.d. vance, hey, why he's the vice presidential position even open what happened to the last guy jd given how tight the race is, do

you think this debate is important >> i really don't think this debate is going to matter. i mean, just ask the debate was admiral stockdale, you know who remembers that? and so vice presidential debates don't really matter. i think governor walz will hold his own tonight. i think j.d. vance will try to go on the offensive to make up from the disastrous debate that donald trump had over a month ago i remember the guy, this guy, i remember admiral stockdale that was that was an important debate a source tells you cnn it didn't. >> the performance was not as good as yeah. i mean, it could have been better, but moving on from the 1996 vice presidential debate, a source tells cnn that after tonight's debate, senator vance is going to come here where i am right now. it's the spin room. i think it's actually john oliver's last week tonight room normally it's his studio normally, but it's a spin room tonight. and j.d. vance were told is going to show up in the spin room. do

you think look i think that's great. again, governor walz, a great communicator. he does great in interviews. and so yeah, looking if i'm the if i'm the, you know, the harris-walz campaign, i don't see any of that to j.d. vance, but j.d. vance might have to be in the spin room to continue to disband whether or not he lost the debate democratic congressman jared moscowitz. >> good to see you. thanks so much for joining us today. could tonight's debate do anything to change the trajectory of this very tight race exactly five weeks out from election day. my political panel joins us next ma'am, g7 is one of the easiest ways to take better control of your diabetes this small wearable replaced his finger sticks, lowers. they went see and it's covered by medicare. >> not managing your diabetes really a fix you're hail for the future. the older you get, the more complications you're going to see. >> a new i couldn't nor my

we're going to see the one and only vice presidential debate between democratic minnesota gov governor tim walz and republican ohio senator j.d. vance. let's go straight to our political panel for their insights so oh, here we go. here's vice president here. so let's listen to this clip i'm clear. >> i iran is a de-stabilizing, dangerous force in the middle east. and today's attack on israel. >> only further demonstrate faith that fact earlier today, i was in the situation room with president biden and our national security team. >> as we monitored the attack in real time and ensured that the protection of us personnel in the region is paramount. i fully support president biden's order for the u.s. military to shoot down iranian missile targeting israel, just as we did in april we are still assessing the impact, but initial indications are that is israel with our assistance, was able to defeat this attack our

joint defenses have been effective. and this operation and success it's will cooperation saved many innocent lives as i've said, i will always ensure israel has the ability to defend itself against iran ron backed terrorist malicious. my commitment to the security of israel is unwavering. and let us be clear iran is not only a threat to him israel, iran is also a threat to american personnel in the region american interests and innocent civilians across the region who suffer at the hands of iran. and back tariffs proxies we will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend us. forces and interests against iran and iran back terrorist. and we will continue to work with our allies and partners to disrupt irans aggressive behavior and hold them accountable.

>> thank you harris giving a statement saying that she fully supports president biden's order for us aircraft carriers to fire interceptors at the iranian missiles that were fired into israel earlier. >> today, we're going to have more on that story in just one second, but i am inside the spin room and i was so rudely interrupted by vice president harris for coming to you guys. that's a joke. put down your iphones this. so we are getting some mixed messages from the trump team about the setting of expectations when it comes to how good debater governor walz is usually one talks up how good your opponent is so as to set expectations high for them. but anyway, we're getting some mixed messages. take a listen do not underestimate tim walz. >> it can be much better than people think.

>> he's going up against a moron a total more on how she picked him is unbelievable. and i think it's a big factor. there's something wrong with it, guy. he's sick it is the is the is it going to be much better than people think? >> or is he a moron? something wrong with him? he's sick the expectation should be very high for governor walz. >> he can six congressional races, two gubernatorial races. the man has done debates before on the national stage. this is not new for him and the expectation should be high for jd vance as well. he has done this. he's got a strong background. he's got a very strong ability to remember and recall facts in real time, to be able to push on this and listen, this is a game of inches, right now in this national election is going to be a matter of who can move this even an inch because it's so close across the country, can tim walz move at the inch that kamala and needs it may be on policy positions mission can j.d. vance maybe move it a little bit more for independent

voters who are maybe saying, i don't want anything to do with either of these candidates in this election. but tonight, everybody will say it over and over again. it is. do no harm. you don't want a big mistake, you don't want an unforced error because that will be the headline coming out of this for weeks to come. but i think it's also an important opportunity to talk more in specific details about each of their plans. >> i mean, i'm sure that i'm saying this tongue in cheek, that j.d. vance will be able to give us all sorts of details about how this mass deportation is going to work, how they will be repping children out of their homes and how this tariff regime is going to work. i'm being facetious i mean, they're obviously in part because i mean j.d. vance and admitted to our own dana bash that he made up the story about springfield. so who knows what he's going to be kind of backed off what you're referring to. they're in terms of the creating a story, but i understand anything you know, look, but i do think for both of them, given that we may not, hopefully they will come to cnn and do a debate. eight, but if they don't this is the last

opportunity people will have to hear from both of them about their plans and about their vision for the country quickly do you think trump, if you were advising trump, do you think he should do another debate? >> he has said no cnn extended an invitation to both of them, vice president harris did accept it. noting that trump said that he liked the format and everything last time do you think he should do one? if this point i would actually argue, yes. and it's because of a critical swing state of north carolina, the flooding there has shut down a lot of the postal system so the early vote and people and voters are having more time in that state, even if they decided to early vote as a terrible side of the, of the hurricane damage there. he's got another chance to win over for more on voters take it when you get it. >> all right, thanks to both of you really appreciate a reminder. cnn is going to simulcast tonight's vice presidential debate hosted by cbs. the debate starts at 9:00 p.m. eastern so evening, it is a cnn special event. you don't have to change the channel to that other place. coverage starts in just a few minutes, actually, a few over ron's
