hi else to follow live life the way i do work to me is purpose. when you wake up every morning and you're excited to do something to stop speaking work. do i expect everybody who works for me to be like that? no maybe maybe because i was a survivor and i was young, but i understand what it's like to work in the restaurant business nothing keeps me up at night. i'm just i'm energetic about the work and the work quickly we can get it done we are achieving our goals, the better life will be for 30,000 people that work for us. that's the most important thing to me all right. >> it's official. i'm hungry now thanks very much for joining today. i'm jim acosta, new hour of cnn newsroom with jessica dean starts right now. have a great day i'm jessica dean in new york and we are now yes one month away from election day today, former president donald trump is back on the campaign trail,

returning to the site of the first assassination attempt on his life but butler, pennsylvania, let's go straight to cnn's alayna treene and alayna, i know you were also there during that initial assassination attempt. we know security has been increased for tonight. what else do we know about this event? >> yeah. well, jessica, it is a little weird. i remember speaking with you when all of that went down, but despite being at the exact same day new today here in butler, pennsylvania, a lot is actually very different and security is one of the main things i've noticed. one is that there are far more secret service agents and local law enforcement here on the ground in butler. there also so working together now under one command center that is different from what was going on back in july on july 13. another thing we've noticed, they have drone joining a much stronger drone control system here right now in butler, again, increase from july and then the other thing i've noticed just the amount of guardrails and barriers they

have and then also, if you remember just the gop, when those shots were fired back in july, they came in this direction chin over donald trump's right shoulder from a group of buildings known as the ajr buildings off to my right over this shoulder here they have set up trailers. i can't show you because we're been stationary right now, but there are a ton of trailers that they have put up blocking that line of sight. so djoser to some of the things that they are doing on the ground. now i can tell you so you for the attendees themselves, i've spoken with many people here are some of whom were in the crowd on july 13. some of who decided to come because they want need to honor the victims of that day and they wanted to be a part of this. i spoke with one woman. her name is sherry o'donnell and she told me that she is from butler. she actually wasn't at that first rally, but she wanted to come to this one because she feels like immunity and the town itself needs to close the page on what had happened and have this kind of push them forward into that next chapter. take a listen

he's got more, according really hearing i'm happy for today because butler can now not have the reputation of having a near assassination attempt. it's redeemed, i think as of today jessica, just so you've who we're going to see tonight, whether donald trump takes that stage. >> he's going to be appearing with elon musk. he's expected to speak elon musk tonight on stage with trump, you're going to see from jd vance, his running mate, you're going to see some of donald trump's children in the crowd tonight, eric trump and a lara trump junior, his daughter-in-law. so really high profile republicans here huge crowd and potentially from what i'm seeing jessica, one of the biggest events that donald trump has held this campaign cycle thus far. >> all right, alayna treene there in butler, pennsylvania, we're gonna keep an eye on that and we will come back to you a little bit later. thank you so much for that also, this hour vice president kamala harris is in north carolina getting in on the ground, briefing on federal for all recovery efforts from hurricane helene. we know at least 227

people died in the storm 113 of those in north carolina alone. let's listen to what she's saying. >> wanted to make an announcement that yesterday we added mecklenburg county to the major disaster declaration that means that we're going to be getting substantial resources in to help folks. and in particular to help them now be able to apply for federal assistance for a range of things that will be including home repair what folks need in terms of generators or even just compensation for the generators? here's what they've had to buy the kind of shelter that they've had to seek, including hotels and federal assistance for these issues is i know extremely important and because a lot of folks don't save for these kinds of emergencies and when they hit it takes a real drain on their resources and ability to take care of themselves i wasn't there family. but again, i thank everybody here. i'm looking forward to our briefing and i will say that also, we are looking forward to

working with our congressional party partners and congresswoman. you've been a great leader to work with your colleagues as you always do, so that we can get congress it's too also issue the resources that fema will need to be an active and resourced federal partner with all of you on the ground at the state, local level with that, let's start our briefing all right. >> thank you, madam vice president at this time, i dismissed the press. >> thank you for joining and we're listening there to vice president kamala harris, who is in charlotte, north carolina getting a briefing there on the federal response. let's go to cnn correspondent sunlen serfaty, who is at the white house now and sunlen obviously vice president harris, they're trying to track and working to track the federal response. what more are you learning? about this that's absolutely right, jessica, this was a notable visit today that vice president harris is making it certainly sitting at that table surrounded though the governor of north carolina at surrounded by by the fema administrator it

ministry later she's certainly trying to project a presidential level of authority here in the aftermath of those devastating storms that took over north carolina and other states across the southeast. >> notable that this is her second trip this week to a state that has been damaged by this storm. when she went to georgia earlier in the week, and now to north carolina today. and we heard from the north carolina governor there before she spoke, really. banking the administration i saying that significant progress has been made. thanks to their efforts, but acknowledging of course, there has been a level of devastation and certainly many deaths from that hurricane that comes as harris in the white house and really beating back some accusations from trump, former president donald trump. something her opponents saying that they he has that they have not been getting aid fast enough to that area, so certainly today, pushing back on those patients from the trial i'm campaign and trying

to clearly look presidential, look competent and it show some leadership in the aftermath of the storm damage jessica. all right. sunlen serfaty there white house. thank you so much. and she mentioned what president trump and some republicans have been saying is he goes back to pennsylvania. we do have this political storm that is forming after the comments he made in north carolina, he was there last night to assess the damage and meet with first responders. but he also took that opportunity to spread absolute misinformation about the disaster response of false claims that have now become a frequent line after hurricane helene. listen we're missing $1 they gave them to the migrants that came in. >> and now we don't have the money he will do it. but they don't have the money to take care of this, why they given you lousy treatment to north carolina kamala's spent all her fema money billions of dollars on housing for illegal migrants. they saw the fema money just like they stole it from a bank they've given over

1 billion to illegal migrants had came in and now they have no money it's just not true. >> fema has now taken the rare step of creating a whole website to debunk lies first that rumor that he was talking about the disaster relief is being diverted to immigrants. not true my says, no money is being diverted from disaster response needs to support international efforts or border-related issues. >> the has also said it has enough money right now for immediate response and recovery needs. >> republican governors across multiple affected states have commended the disaster response. and here's north carolina senator, republican thom tillis i am actually impressed with how much attention was paid to a region that wasn't likely to have experienced the impact that they did for anybody who thinks that any level of government, anybody here, could have been prepared precisely for what we're dealing with here.

>> clearly or clueless. >> they're doing a great job. there can always work harder if there's always kingson, the slinky, we're working them out behind the scenes, but i think we're all here to send a message that we're working together. and i'm pretty proud of the effort that's been done joining us now cnn political analyst and political reporter for axios, alex thompson and senior political correspondent for puck news. >> tara palmeri, let's start there, guys, it's great to have you here with us alex. he's just not telling the truth. they are spreading why is when a lot of people, a lot of americans in helene's path are really hurting and desperate for help and need the truth and need resources. what's the political implication here? >> well, fema has spent sniff gay man main housing undocumented immigrants. but what you're saying is completely right that this is not come from the same funds. now, what the trump campaign is really doing is honing in on some of the comments from dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas, just a few months ago when he

said they were confident that we're going to have funds to rout the hurricane season now, they do have enough money to deal with the immediate effects of this hurricane, but it's the most significant hurricanes since hurricane katrina than most deadly one. you have over 200 deaths. and now the government is saying, the executive branch is saying, we may need more money to get through hurricane katrina, but the larger point that trump is doing is this has been a huge message from the very beginning that undocumented immigrants, there's theme is undocumented migrants are taking away resources from, you, from voters. and that is really what he's trying to do here by basically playing and half-truths and mistruths and complete untruths and tara, the former president, is headed back to butler, pennsylvania. today. of course, that's the site of the first assassination attempt on his life what kind of moment are you expecting? are you expecting more on this disaster relief? what do you think we're going to hear from him? >> i think it will be a moment

of defiance. he's returning to the scene of a crime. he's coming back, you know, i'm a strong man. i'm afraid of attacks they may end up indulging in some of these conspiracy theories about it being an inside job but it will allow trump to puff himself and really step into the martyr persona that he seems to take on, on the campaign trail saying, i'm protecting you from them that's been his is his his messaging this entire time throughout his entire political career. and that he's essentially a persecuted person so i'm sure it will be almost like a vigil. in some ways in which he is lauded by his vice president is going to be there for who would offensively be on the campaign or his running mate would be there offensively on the campaign somewhere else. again, michigan or wisconsin elon musk, his children will drain the senate candidates, david mccormick and end to bring all

of these top players and surrogates together suggests to me that this is a larger production. than what we're used to from a trump rally. and a moment to really idolize them and maybe you know, elevate him to martyr level, like we said, alex, that is, it is incredible sitting here thinking that was just that was back in july, just several months ago, we saw it live during this actual show it was so stunning and so scary in the moment and yet, we've had another assassination attempt since then, a new democratic nominee son has happened in this race. and now to get us here one month before election day i'm very tired because of all those events that you're saying, but it's completely true and also, you have to remember the days after donald trump in this first assassination attempt, there was extraordinary confidence from the republican party that he was going to walk away with this thing because joe biden was a weakened nominee after the debate now he had ascended

to what's harris said, martyrdom status gets survived. i remember at the rnc the attitude was complete just calm, honestly in confidence and now this is a much closer race than it was at that a time. >> but, if there was any state for this to happen as pennsylvania because both campaigns are basically on track to spend over $400 million in this state because this state is the most important state at the moment in this presidential race, whoever wins pennsylvania is most likely to win this race it doesn't get more pivotal than pennsylvania, i think in tara, just before we go, we've got this much better than expected jobs report yesterday, just another data point indicating the strength of the economy. this is vice president harris is trying very hard to convince voters. she can handle the economy better than trump when polling continues. usa show he has an edge on that issue. do you think this is this is enough to start pushing people toward her or is this just an

issue people are judging with their gut and forget the data points yeah, it's very difficult because like you said, you can't show people data or numbers or people who had jobs they might think, okay, great. >> i already have a daughter. i'm happy there are more jobs, but i still not making enough money to counter the inflation, right? you really can't convince people that things are better i unfortunately, she has had to carry the baggage of the incumbency and the past few years so i would say that she can acknowledge it, tout it, say we've turned it around heritage trump's disastrous economy. we turn it around, but i'm working for you to push this even further forward. night knowledge pledge, what you're going through. and i think the problem with the biden the biden administration was they weren't really willing at first to admit the pain that people are going through and harris clearly has learned that and always notes on that after she touts good number, she says, but i know

it's not good enough. >> yeah. and she certainly does try to empathize with voters. we see her trying to personalize it a lot. another tactic she's been using. all right. alex thompson, tara palmeri, our thanks to both of you. >> thank. you max, as israel prepares to retaliate against iran, our nuclear sites are off the table. >> this is the idf releases this new footage what they say is the underground terror infrastructure in southern lebanon and live in that region. next, plus former president trump returning to the site of the first assassination attempt in butler, pennsylvania and secret service taking much tighter security measures this time, we're joined by a law enforcement expert to talk about the lessons that have been learned. and there's another storm i'm gaining strength in the gulf parts of florida still picking up the pieces after helene could get another hurricane. we're tracking it ahead. you're in the cnn newsroom former first lady and the first second gentleman, kaitlan collins, takes a closer look at

that it has discovered what more are you learning yeah, the idf hasn't taken any journalists down there, but they have taken their own cameras to they filmed tunnels that the spokesman sabra, about 250 meters to about 300 meters long. >> they showed in a tunnel they're stuck of military equipment. they showed sort of soldiers equipment bags that they said these were to be used for some kind of influence portray for military purpose. what the idf has said about the rationale for their operations along the lebanese border is they said for some time that they believed if hezbollah was preparing to strike across the border into lebanon. and this seems to be the images that they would use. our are using to back that up. and what were also seen on the the idf video, separate videos they show big summit trucks coming in and pouring cement into those tunnels. unlike tunnels in

gaza, these ones are hewn into really tough rocket the border. we know that the idf has discovered hezbollah tunnels along that northern border in the past. but this it's an indication that they're saying that they are finding these sites, that they thought were there. they say that they've killed 440 hezbollah fighters on grounds, ground fights along the border or, or airstrikes along the border. there and this opera, this operation, they are indicating of these operations since are far from done. the army chief of staff are saying that they will continue to press press this offensive right along the border there. and i think it's an indication in these videos that the idf is showing is discovered what it said. it was there. we also understood from hezbollah that when the troops had been going across, they've set ambushes for they've claimed that they've got into intense firefights with the idf the idf confirming that

yesterday one soldier was seriously injured all right. >> nic robertson there in tel aviv. thank you so much for that update. let's go now to jomana. what more can you tell us about the top leader of hamas's military wing? we know has killed in an israeli airstrike in northern lebanon. tell us more about that and also how things are in beirut tonight strike happening near the city of tripoli in northern lebanon. >> this is a very rare strike. it hasn't really we happened since the 2006 israel has below war and what we understand according to a statement from hamas, as they say, that a senior commander of the qassam brigades, its military wing was killed in that strike. we've not heard from the idf. they've not commented on that, but a very rare strike. and according to hamas, that commander and three members of his family were killed in the strike. of course, it's on it's not unusual to see these sorts of

attacks targeting other palestinian militant groups because within the palestinian refugee camps, you do have several militant groups operating, but indeed it really raised fears and concerns among people that we are seeing the israeli military operations here, widening in scope and scale when it comes to the rest of the country, we have seen over the past few days an intensification in the bombardment, whether it's here you're in the southern suburbs of beirut, in the south of the country and also in the bekaa region in the east. now, here in the last few minutes, jessica, right before we came on air, we could hear several blasts in the distance. you could hear israeli drones overhead and we saw in the last 20 to 30 minutes a number of evacuation orders coming from the israeli military's arabic language spokesman in posts on x, asking civilians in those areas in number of

neighborhoods in the southern suburbs to evacuate their homes. this coming at about 11:00 p.m. local time when you wouldn't really expect people to be sitting and monitoring their social media earlier in the day, we did see several strikes as well on the southern suburbs. yes. this is an area where they have struck hezbollah targets, where they have killed we could hear some rumbling in the distance. jessica, it's unclear what is going on, but this is something we have heard tonight and we've been on this rooftop for many, many nights now. and this is the first time we're hearing this sort of rumbling in the distance and in the last right before we came on air, that was followed by what appears to have been a number of blasts and the distance in the southern suburbs will keep an eye on that. but as i was saying earlier in the day, we did see these strikes. can we see smoke? >> the team behind the camera? you're seeing flashes in the distance. i don't know if you were able to do that over my

shoulder happening, jessica, we are where we we're hearing this constant buzz of the drones overhead then this rumbling in the distance, which is unusual, usually you would see the strike and hear it. >> and then now we've seen our team here has seen is you've seen those flashes in the distance. it's unclear what has been hit here, but we have seen the warnings coming in from the idf in the last half hour or so saying that they will be carrying out strikes on what they say are hezbollah targets in the southern suburbs of beirut this is one of the most densely populated parts of the country we've seen a mass exodus of civilians from this area over the past week or so. but there are civilians who remain there. there are people who go back to their homes or whatever is left of their homes

to try and grab their belongings. so we'll have to wait and see what the target was. and if there are any casualties in that, okay. >> jomana, you and your team, please stay safe or thanks to you. we will continue to check in with you and nic robertson there and tel aviv or thanks? to both of you and i want to bring in cnn global affairs analyst and former defense secretary under donald trump, esper, a secretary esper, thanks so much for being here with us. we are just watching it as it's good to see you as jomana was just reporting, this is all happening in real time, we are watching this unfold nearly one year after the october 7 attacks. i want to start first with israel's plan to retaliate against iran according to a top us state department official, israel has not given any assurances to the biden administration that targeting iran's nuclear facilities is off the table as an option. what do you think about that well, i do think it will be a significant attack and the nuclear strike should definitely be an option.

>> but at the end of day, jessica, it's going to depend on what israel wants to accomplish. so if they want regime change, they're going to go after leadership targets in tehran. so the ayatollah, president pezeshkian, the irgc and other things. if they want to go after military capability than top of that list has to be the nuclear facilities and work that iran has undergoing, which i might add that in the wake of what they seen, what they are feckless ballistic missile attacks now, twice, my sense would be at the iranian regime is probably going to conclude that they need to pursue a nuclear weapon at some point here but continuing along, other military capabilities, they could attack would be ballistic missile launch sites, production facilities, drone factories also, air defense sites would be part of that. and then the third category of items would be economic targets. so the most obvious are iranian oil processing distribution, refining facilities, most of which are in western iran. and on the gulf coast, which are much easier attack to strike with

less risk to israeli pilots. than the strategic leadership targets and nuclear targets, which are deeper in iran, northern iran it has been interesting because president biden, his administration are coordinating with the israelis here. they all indications seem to be they want a measured response. it's unclear though if that's where israel is, if they're in the mood for a measured response or if they want something stronger than that, do you get? they sent one way or the other just with the various data points we're getting. which way this might go i don't fully understand the administration's approach on this. >> they're calling for a cease fire

>> also you've had to the series of missile strikes, drone strikes by iran, which have proved feckless. i has changed dramatically. it calls for reassessment and the question is, can you reorder things in the region because for 45 years, for 45 years, the israelis been under attack from three angles. north, but has below the south from hamas and then from the east with iran. and now you can add into that the who thes, the shia militia in iraq and syria, all funded inspired, equipped, trained by iran. maybe it's time to settle the score once and for all and get to the root of the problem, which is tehran all right, secretary esper, always good to have you on. thanks so much for that analysis. we appreciate it thanks, jessica. >> still had the death toll continues to climb in the wake of hurricane helene. this is more than a half million customers across five states still don't have any power

wackrow. >> jonathan, thanks so much for being here with us. based on what we know about today's events and what you have seen unfold since that assassination attempt. do you believe that the secret service has learned some lessons here? >> absolutely. i mean, i think when you look back, you july 13, was a seminal moment for the secret service. it was a wakeup call. it highlighted things that the secret service was lacking in their protective model. they had to go through the rigor of a full diagnostic of how are they applying the protective model not only to the president and vice president, but also to former presidents and political candidates and out of that review, you will now see an extraordinary amplification of protective measures for all of our political leaders to include former president trump helping others that are engaged in the political process so the secret service definitely has learned their lesson what you're seeing today is the

mobilization of you significant resources that are necessary to address the threat environment that former president trump now faces as the run-up to the election continues. >> and one big thing in july was that there was no effective chain of command that's supposedly has been fixed. but how crucial is that? and do you think that the correct steps have been made in fixing that? >> communication is protective operations, the working shift, the women and men that you see around former president trump, we're the president united states, they need to be able to communicate with each other. but just as important secret service agents need to be able to communicate with them for local law enforcement partners, anywhere they go, and you think about the thousands of protective events that the secret service engaged with every year domestically, that communication is critical, it's a critical component in

key to the success of the protective models. so that was one of the key bridge breakdowns on january 13th that has now been addressed. and what you're seeing today is this extraordinary structure that has been set up around communication command and control accountability responsibility among all stakeholders, federal, state, and local law enforcement when combined and also just the secret service itself. the morale the men and women who serve in the secret service. how would you categorize that right now? >> well listen, the secret service is strained. their strain because of manpower but also their protective mission. listen, the reality is the women and men, the agents and officers of the united states secret service are going through a year like no other. they just last week came off the un general assembly, which was the large which is protective assignment around

the globe, bringing you over 134 and heads of state plus the president, vice president, and political leaders all to new york they executed that national special security event near flawlessly, but there's no rest for the weary here. they had to move on there in the middle of this campaign what you're seeing is agents going from site to site burnout is a consideration right now. and that is why with new funding, they need personnel to be applied the right way to be able to get over the final mile of this election and then recalibrate their protective model. the staffing models in the retention of special agents moving forward. so they can meet the demands of this new dynamic threat environment that they are charged with. your protecting against. >> it is it is a time where there unfortunately are so many threats against our elected officials. jonathan wackrow. thank you so much. we really appreciate it. we'll be right back. >> thank you.

to get out, but this is one of the most intense nights that we've seen in the past ten days or so where the israeli military is focused in beirut has been of course, on the southern suburbs of beirut where it is known to have a heavy presence of hezbollah, but it is also one of the most densely populated parts of this city. we've seen hundreds of thousands of people evacuate this mass exodus that we have seen over the past week, but we do know that there are civilians who remain in this area. i was actually speaking a short time ago with a resident of the southern suburbs and she was looking at those evacuation orders saying that she's not bear right now, but her home is within that evacuation zone and she was really worried not knowing if she's going to have a home to return to after this. but as we're speaking, jessica,
