a va law at 80%, but 100%, the value of your home. and that's what you can get it new day usa, call 1, 8, 4, 4, 9, 6, 4, 1, 4, 6, 2 outfront tonight at seven on cnn >> the world waiting to see how israel will respond after iran sun's massive attack. all of this happening is israel sends more troops to support its ground offensive in lebanon. >> and soon president biden will be flying over the carolinas to survey firsthand the destruction brought by hurricane helene. he is now deploying 1,000 active duty soldiers to help deliver food, water, and aid hard hit communities. and that help cannot come soon enough, especially as we learned from energy officials, the major portions of the power grid and the carolinas had been wiped
11:02 am
away from the debate stage to the campaign trail. vice presidential candidates, jd vance and tim walz heading to battleground states after a debate that featured get this policy over personal attacks and what is the world coming to. but did they sway enough and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central we begin this hour with a stark new message from israel, its military chief is warning that it has the capacity to strike any or get in the region this as the world is waiting to see what israel's next move is going to be after iran's missile strike. >> right now, israel is ramping up its ground war in lebanon with plans to deploy more troops to take part in that fight, is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is vowing that iran will pay for the aerial assault. now, earlier,
11:03 am
president i didn't weighed in on how israel might retaliate. he says he does not support an israeli strike on iranian nuclear sites, saying the u.s will be discussing with israel what it plans to do. cnn, chief national security analyst jim sciutto is live for us in tel aviv right now. and jim, we've just learned that permanent us resident was killed in lebanon. tell us more about that get it shows just how easily the expanding war here can catch the interests of so many countries, right there. >> you already have americans who were killed or captured still held in gaza in the first front of this war. and as the war expands, it's likely that not just for americans, but other countries citizens are affected as well. of course, including the people of lebanon, and the people of israel the people of all the countries involved. i think as the country as people here
11:04 am
israel, but also the region awaits israel's promised response to the missile attacks last night, those words from president biden that you mentioned boris are quite telling because he was asked, does the u.s. support and israeli attack a potential israeli attack on iranian nuclear sites. and he said quite clearly the answer is no so when israel says they can strike any targeted and iran, while that may be true, to do so without the support of the u.s. president would be notable and they're also open questions as to whether israel could militarily carry out at least decisive strikes on iran's nuclear program without us military support, including things such as air refuelers given in the distance between israel and iran. so that split, again, if israel were to go that path, would be just the latest instances of daylight between us leaders on the conduct of this war and the current israeli government you gave one example, jim, of israel's options going after
11:05 am
the air refuelers. what else is on the table potentially yeah, you hear of the striking iranian surface to air missile sites, missile defense and air defense cites as a way to really open up further targets in iran, it's interesting boris, because in april following that iranian missile barrage israel's response was to strike just one. but a key one an air defense site inside iran close to one of its nuclear sites. and the read of that strike was that israel was showing iran, listen, we could take out your defenses. your defenses aren't as good as you imagine that's one possibility though likely given the size of land it's night's iranian attack. you can imagine striking more such sites the other possibility mentioned is going after iranian oil sites, refineries ports, et cetera to give a economic blow to the iranian
11:06 am
regime, which of course depends on that oil money. the trouble is that have global consequences because you can imagine where oil prices would go if that would happen to impact the iranian oil supply to world markets. and we already saw oil prices go up somewhat due to the tensions here. so each, each option has its consequences, and those are all the things that are running in. there. elie officials rather have to weigh right now. >> jim sciutto live for us in tel aviv. thank you so much, jim. brianna here in just minutes. president biden will be taking an aerial tour over the carolinas to see for himself how the hurricane has devastated the region north carolina, of course, suffering the highest number of deaths from helene, which made landfall on friday is a cattle no gory four storm at least 180 people across six states died in the storm and many more remain missing at this point, the countless who survived are now living without power. they have limited food and water. they have no way to leave the area after helene ripped up
11:07 am
roads power grids, and knocked out water plants cnn's miguel marquez is in raleigh, north carolina for us following the president's visit and miguel, the president approved some major manpower today to help in these relief efforts. tell us about it. >> yeah, it's a u.s. military manpower active duty military, and lots of gear from a helicopter is too heavy trucks to try to move water to get the electricity up, to get some of the cell phone, restore to areas that are very hard. remember, this isn't the appalachians. it's the blue mountains. it is very very rough up in there in many areas. so east want to get as many active duty soldiers starting today to the hardest hit areas we were in asheville, north carolina. this is a thriving city. we saw one part, one little piece of the devastation that is hitting this entire area of the country this is it. this is your first
11:08 am
time seeing this yeah, this is my first time. >> in these mark right peers into her prince shop studio. >> i don't think i can recover from this. >> her sails table. it's enormous hangs from the rafters. >> how hard is it to look at this it looks like a war happens. asheville's river arts district devastated the waterline two feet or more above the second floor of many buildings near the french broad river. will you and your business survive this one? >> i'm choosing to not survive this one i will not continue here i do not think it is. right at the goal for me as a land lady to rent these spaces i will not put myself or anyone else through this kind of trauma. >> again, pattiy torno, a founding member of asheville's world renowned arts district, has seen floods before nothing like this. >> in terms of putting water
11:09 am
inside the studios here, the only other one that had happened was 20 years ago in 2004, hurricane francis and this is just one area inundated by helene that left a path of destruction for hundreds of miles. i saw the pictures before i got here. i see the damage when i'm here and i just i just comprehend it. >> getting help to everyone here in the blue ridge mountains. so many roads and bridges washed out, going old school, pack mules sometimes the best its way dwayne. >> we have a beautiful beautiful mountains in north carolina, but they are rugged sometimes to get through, even on a beautiful day. after this catastrophic storm, it is very
11:10 am
difficult to get to all of those places. >> the losses on imaginable, the immediate needs eats everything, water, food, gas, diapers, and medicine as overwhelming as the rain and the flood itself little example. they're trying to get the electricity going back up in asheville and they're they're getting a lot of it going back. >> the problem is the water pipes are now washed out. the water plants don't have water, so water is a problem as well as the electricity may come on, but that doesn't mean the faucets will go on to toys are going to flush. it can be able to shower. >> that's just one place. it is a massive amount of need i 40 is now open between here and raleigh and asheville. it was washed out by a month slide, so there is progress in certain areas, but the president's going to take that tour today, see it from the sky because that's really the only way you can take it all in. then come here to raleigh and try to coordinate everything that they're going to need going forward. it is going to take years and people are still
11:11 am
unaccounted for and they're trying to get immediate needs met. but it is going to take years for this area. to recover, brianna. >> yeah. and you can see it in those pictures, miguel, thank you for the report for us from raleigh right now, republican vice presidential nominee, ohio senator jd vance is in the critical battleground. state of michigan set to deliver remarks at a campaign stop in auburn hills after last night's vice presidential debate where he faced off against minnesota governor tim walz, their first and only debate and it was, can you believe it? mostly cordial policy focus say what? it's true, but the two men did have a significant exchange over former president trump's 2020 election loss here it is. >> you still saying he didn't lose the election. i would just say that. did he lose the 2020 election? >> tim, i'm focused on the future. did kamala harris censor americans from speaking their mind and the wake of the 2020 covid situation that is that is a nonanswer joining us
11:12 am
now to discuss is tim hogan a democratic strategist and former spokesperson for hillary clinton's 2016 campaign and lance trover, republican strategist and former spokesperson for doug burgum's presidential campaign before we get to the questions, i just want to point our viewers to governor walz arriving at a stop in pennsylvania. >> these are our live images coming in to cnn. now, we see him there apparently being surrounded by a crowd of folks greeting people and you see senator john fetterman there in the background. the all important state of pennsylvania were many believed that this election will be decided, will of course, monitor his remarks and get them to you live lance, what did you think of jd vance's response to that question about whether trump won or lost the 2020 election. he seemed to deflect entirely and say, i'm focused on other things this is an issue i go back. i know you talked about it last hour. i mean, this is an issue that not a lot of voters care about at this juncture, if you look at the polling economy, cost of living
11:13 am
immigration are a top of mind for, but i'm guessing anybody who was really moved by that probably already knew how they were going to vote anyway, going into it but i think overall, jd vance had a very good night last night, he accomplished two big things, which was he reintroduced himself to the american public and obviously did very well. if you look at the cnn polling on it, but he also made donald trump looked like he had made a really good decision in terms of being a vice president and someone who could step into the role of been president. and i think in an election where increasingly people are looking back at donald trump's policies and saying they liked them. he did a great job of telling reminding voters that they liked donald trump's policies and also reminding voters that kamala harris as part of the biden administration, protecting democracy also on the list for i'm not arguing that yeah. >> to your point? so people may or may be baked in. they may have already decided to him. i wonder what you think because to lance's point i mean, i think that in a lot of the moments that have kind of
11:14 am
percolated to the top for jd vance, he hasn't come off, is very likable and we see that in his favorability ratings he definitely out punted his coverage. i would say on how likable he was last night. what did you think saw both of the candidates improve their likability. >> i will say i think in the cnn post-debate polling, we saw that whilst actually improved his favorability by four points more than jd vance. but on this point that the january 6 exchange was not substantial. look, you all had a focus group right after the debate in michigan to voters saying that jd vance lost their vote because of that comment walz is in pennsylvania today, nbc had a focus group, five out of six people thought that walz won the debate politico had a snap poll of it independence afterwards, they thought walz 158 to 42 and the harris campaign signaling that this is important, said that on their dials this was the worst moment for jd vance, one of the best for walz. and now they're
11:15 am
cutting an ad about it. so for those folks, for that sliver of americans who are still undecided, i think it's a mistake to say that this was not a substantial we'll exchanger that they can't win voters over jd vance tried to play pundit all night, tried to come off as very slick, but you can't sugar something like this. and he was caught in a non-answer as well said tim there was an answer from the governor that i think even some democrats have acknowledged was not his best. he was asked about a statement he'd made previously about being there in tiananmen square or being in china during the tiananmen square protests? that we found out yesterday, according to new reporting, was inaccurate. it's only the latest time. the latest incident where the governor has had to clarify statements about his biography that were less than accurate. what did you make of his response and his approach generally when it comes to questions about these incidents being essentially, i'm a
11:16 am
knucklehead and my grandma isn't the best look. >> he he said he misspoke. he said that onstage. i think what americans saw last night was someone who is plain spoken in governor walz and someone who likes to play pundit as jd vance and the what. but these two candidates had to do last night they had to answer there's some questions about their record. yes, because they are the two on the stage. but at the end of the day, they are explaining the policies at the top of the ticket from donald trump. and for kamala harris. and i think walz did really well on the january 6 question. he did extremely well on the abortion question where jd vance said, we got to try to regain the trust of american voters. when vance himself if on his website, he said he was for a national abortion ban has set it on podcasts. donald trump won't say that he won't sign a national abortion ban. he touts that he put those three judges in place that struck down roe walz hammered the point that maternal mortality in those states with abortion bans or is significantly worse. i think that's what voters really care about. i think on the issues where undecideds are independents or even republican
11:17 am
leaning voters, where we saw walz improve his standing at his favorability. walz did a great job. >> let's listen to vance in his answer on abortion last night we've got to do so much better of a job at earning the american people's trust back on this issue where they frankly just don't trust us how did he handle that considering his record on national abortion ban well, i'm a big proponent of kansas stadium where they are on this issue. i think it's very important whether you're running for congress or whether you're running for president united states. i thought this was actually a very good moment for him because i think he's right. i mean, voters need to be truthful or excuse me. uh, candidates need it'd be truthful about where they stand on this issue. and i think he's also right, the polling shows republicans do have a lot of work to do. but one of the things he did i think really well and i disagree with tim as he was very transparent, whereas we know tim walz was not transparent about his connections with china. we know he's not been truthful on many things. he said, but in terms of that, that was a level of
11:18 am
honesty and transparency that we saw out of jd vance that i think a lot of voters were expecting, and i think that again goes to him the ball down the court for donald trump saying, i made a really good decision in my vice presidential nominee lance trover, tim hogan, to leave the conversation there. look forward to having you back on sometime talking with a former cia officer about israel's potential options for responding to iran's massive missile attack and what us involvement could look like. plus flooded grocery stores, no power and spotty cell service. the major barriers still standing between people in the north carolina mountains and the first steps of recovery from helene scenes devastation, and why federal prosecutors say it's possible that new york mayor eric adams could face additional charges in his corruption case i've been saying publicly, more people say and turns out i have enough money. i could just shut off the fact is, i can

11:24 am
discussed with the israelis. >> what to do? >> but david all seven of us agree that ever right to respond officially respond according joining us now with more perspective on all of this is former cia officer bob baer bob, thank you so much for being with us. i'm curious what you make of this push among some officials in israel to go after the nuclear sites in iran is that feasible? is it the right approach of all, i think that israel will retaliate those hundred at 90 missiles. >> we don't even know what the damage was yet some, some of them may have been military so that makes the israelis come up with a decision that they have to respond in a big way, in equivalent way the nuclear sites, it maybe not, but there's a lot of the target set in iran is very large for
11:25 am
instance, they could attempt appetite the regime remember that it's ayatollah khamenei who's ultimately behind his balah in the spiritual leader. so he's not out the iranian president is a possibility. >> but what concerns me most are the oil facilities israel has hit the oil facilities in yemen in a big way and hodeidah, as we saw and they could easily take out iran's oil facilities i can speculate what's going to happen at that point, but i've studied ran for a long time and it's for tat for them. and they may just go after the oil facilities in the golf of course, this would cause economic chaos around the world but as this conflict in the middle east spreads you just can't count it out. >> yeah i'm wondering also what you made of the response from iran itself because this was in large part due to israel
11:26 am
eliminating hassan nasrallah, the head of hezbollah, along with a slew of other hezbollah officials and their broader incursion into lebanon. >> so what did you make of iran go? going this route? did you see this as sort of a measured middle of the road approach from iran or the harshest that they could carry out >> all. i believe you're right. it was measured because if they were to for instance, they have 3,000 ballistic missiles if they were fired 1,000 at a time, i understand that they could overwhelm israeli air defenses and caused major civilian casualties if they he wanted to and they still could put i mean, it's very difficult to take out those missile sites in iran now, it's going to cause us, if this is escalating, to move more aircraft carriers in and participate in this war and of course, what this
11:27 am
administration does not want election is getting drawn into a war, an all-out war with iran, and certainly never putting troops on the ground in lebanon but we don't know which way it's going to go in the other hand, this administration can't backoff israel. so it's in a tight spot. this, this is going to play a big part of the election if it, if it worsens how do you think the u.s. >> can accomplish the goal of deterring iran and its proxies while balancing what you noted that the dilemma of not only an upcoming election, but its promises to defend israel i mean i don't know if at this point a iran can be intimidated by the fifth fleet by moving major forces in a threat to iran itself. >> it's not suicidal that regime but on the other
11:28 am
there's nothing we can do really to stop those missiles from barreling into israel. and, and don't forget, we have troops in iraq which are vulnerable, there's not many of them. >> i mean, iranian proxies there could hit our basis. >> i'm giving you the worst-case scenario. i'm not saying any of this is going to happen, but these are the calculations going on inside the administration it is a delicate balance. bob baer appreciate the analysis, thanks for joining us thank you i'm next turning helene's destruction will be felt for months and years to come. i had we're going to hear from an official in the north carolina mountains about what the recovery process is going to look also, it's been two years since elon musk bought what used to be known as twitter for 44 billion a new survey says that value it's quite diminished a lot smaller now, how much money exactly did he

statement. he has he had made about his biography saying that he had been in china during the pro-democracy protests in tenement square back in 19 89, it turned out that he was actually there months later in china, overall, not in tenement square. here's what he just shared with reporters at my dates wrong. >> i was in hong kong in china in 1989 that kong into china, it was profound for me that was the summer of democracy. >> i said it's where i understood how sacred democracy was, is what encouraged me about 15 back-and-forth with my students taking them to china to understand both, first of all, the culture, but also to teach chinese students about democracy that was part of was when the first group of ice democratic vice presidential nominee then turn the question to focus on donald trump saying that trump had lost the trade war with china, and that he should not be praising xi jinping and authoritarian.
11:35 am
>> so he pivoted from the question over to attacking the former president, brianna all right. >> boris, the level of destruction from helene, it really seems to be growing worse by the hour we now know the historic hurricane has killed at least 180 people and among the areas reporting more deaths today is henderson county, north carolina officials there announced this morning that four more people were found dead and many are still missing responders are struggling to reach cutoff areas. and this morning, cnn rode along with a fema team in a part of the county there that has been really hard to reach can go to sudden. >> we're seeing for saves everything that the governor has been talking about officials have been killed talking about how big of a challenge communication is not just for civilians, but you bet is trying to do these best skew operations don't have cell service to all of that
11:36 am
challenge and now slows things down. tremendously. >> how frustrating is that we're used to get out on and off. >> just going to adapt and overcome on the phone with us now is the henderson county spokesman, mike morgan. mike, tell us what you're we're hearing from residents, what they need. are they getting what they need yes. >> thank you very much having us on and yeah. we've never experienced anything like this in a county before. we've just abandoned we took a direct hit from hurricane and that you don't usually see that in the mountains of western north carolina. >> but right now, we've set up hubs, resource hubs all across the county we were trying to get residents of water, but non-perishable foods, other items they need baby formula, no diapers, wipes, things like that for small children as well as toiletries. were all these hubs are passing stuff out. they have had a constant flow of people. we're accepting donations currently, we've seen stuff come in from all across the country. we've seen some federal stuff and state stuff,
11:37 am

11:54 am
worth and two years ago, when musk bought this company, fidelity value of those shares at almost $20 million. today just four 0.2 million. that is a drop of almost 80% in the span of just two years. and this implies that fidelity thinks that this company is now worth just about 9.5 billion that is a far, far cry from the 44 billion that elon musk paid for it. now, it's worth pointing out this is just one investors. there's estimate and other investors could value the company differently still, analysts tell me that this plunged in value for x likely reflects a sharp drop top in ad revenue at the company. remember, some brands have been concerned about some of the content on x. they don't want their brands associated with the company's content. there's also been some controversy spawned by musk
11:55 am
himself. remember, last fall he embrace anti semitic controversy on social media. he later apologized for embracing that conspiracy theory. but even in that apology, he ended up telling off some of the advertisers that of course could not have helped the value of this company. now, there's no doubt that x remains a major player in social media, especially for live events like last night's vice presidential debate still there are some signs of a possible dropping engagement among users. similar web has found that x had 73.5 million monthly active users on ios and android as of august, that is still huge. >> of course, but it does mark an 11% drop from the year before in 20% less than when musk bought it. >> now, it is possible, of course that the value of x rebounds if ad revenue goes up or if they figured you're out a way to really monetize some of the data here. but clearly
