hello, i'm kasie hunt. welcome to cnn this morning, the breaking news, the national hurricane center out with a brand new update it on hurricane milton. milton continues to be a dangerous category five hurricane, expected to bring life-threatening storm surge and dangerous winds along florida's gulf coast practically all of central florida remains under a hurricane warning with landfall expected as early as tonight with evacuation orders clogging florida's major interstates, a new problem growing fuel outages as of late last night, 21% of gas stations in florida are out of gas. this storm coming right on the heels of hurricane helene that brought record storm surge flooding to the tampa area where debris from that storm now poses a whole new threat. >> there's still a lot of debris out there that could become really dangerous in these wind conditions. we didn't have the wind

conditions with helene just the storm surge. so this is going to be both things potential threat to us all right, let's get straight to our meteorologist, derek van dam. derek, we have this brand new update from the hurricane center. what are they telling us still a category five hurricane national hurricane center giving this update here within the past minute or so talking about a very compact symmetrical powerful inner core wall. >> and that is very visible on our satellite. we are less than 24 hours away from a devastating economic and societal storm that i wish we could say that we've never seen the likes of decades, but unfortunately happened two weeks ago with hurricanes helene adding just misery to the pain that we've already experienced across florida, the storm has 160 mile per hour winds because it has maintained a strength overnight. they have increased the winds at landfall, which are still

believed to occur late tonight into early thursday stay morning, but you can see explicitly a category four as it makes its final approach into the west central coastline of florida what we've been watching so closely with a magnitude and strength of a storm like this, is the wobbles, comparing them to where that center of the storm is with the forecast track, it is so imperative and i want to show you that this map, there's the a.i. there's the forecast track, the center, of course, being the cone of uncertainty. but notice how the eye is jogging a little bit to the east that has downstream implications on who receives that front right quadrant. the most powerful part of the storm with the most intense storm surge and the most it's intense winds, even though there will be intense wins on the northern side of the storm as well. this is one computer model, the european model. this still indicates a st. pete tampa bay landfall again early thursday morning. this is just one computer model, so we're

still looking for that windshield wiper effect. we will bovill and down as is common with these types of storms. but one thing's for sure catastrophic winds will not be contained to just the coastline. we will experience hurricane force winds from the coast, the gulf coast, all the way to the atlantic coast we have seen the radar poppy and i already from key west and there have been tornado warnings in miami dade in advance of this storm that is continuing as we speak, storm surge, the forecast here has not gotten any better. kasie, this will inundate homes and it will inundate businesses all right. >> derek van dam for us. derek, a busy day ahead. thank you very much. up for that update will be back with you throughout the next couple of hours. as milton closes in on florida, the u.s. department of health and human services is declaring a public health emergency in the state this is the second time the department has made that declaration in florida in just the past two weeks, joining us now to talk about the impact, we're going to see during and after the storm is dr. ben. aibo. he is an emergency physician and a

rescue team doctor. doctor. thanks very much for being up with us this morning as residents, continuing to evacuate here, you've responded to these types of disasters before and you know, what happens when people don't leave as officials recommend what would be in store for folks who don't leave at this point? >> right now, we have a number of issues going on at this point. i just hope that they have enough supplies to deal with with the aftermath power water. there medications. if they're going to be without power or water for a bit because we're less than 24 hours away and so it's really hard to get anywhere else not to mention just even as the storm comes approaches and right over us, we have tornado spin-ups. they've highway and we have the surge and we just went through this and with all that extra debris and buildings

that may have been injured so this be are they going to be able to take these winds and the surge? i don't know. it really depends on what people are experiencing what kind of situations have you been in the past when you've tried to convince a residents to leave before one of these storms? helene, which ahead up north up in the band and all way down the coast, we saw a surge down to where i live in thinking that they can go through things and i always say he did now is not just forever in egypt i see them without power, without water, without their medications able to call certain medications again stuck and then all of a sudden they're there without communications with their loved ones and they become honestly,

they become a liability to themselves and to others. looking at whether hospitals will be able to continue to operate during the storm. we've been looking at one major general hospital in tampa that's installing a floodwall. others are evacuating patients. what impact? does that have on the response responders at my fire departments or the search and rescue teams, whether they have two legs are four legs if we get hurt we have to divert efforts in anyone that were rescuing or even evacuating. >> we're going to have to send them even further just a couple of years ago, my fire department suite had clean even come and we actually had the only major trauma center in the area which isn't even by the water lose power, they lost water and they lost plumbing in

pressure. so we did actually evacuated the hospitals when we were trying to already evacuated a new search and rescue in the areas and that wasn't even on the water wow, really remarkable. all right. dr. ben. thanks very much for your time we'll be thinking of you heading into this. i really appreciate it on cnn this morning, we continue continue to bring you the latest on hurricane milton as thousands flee with a catastrophic storm barreling toward florida plus, in a matter of hours, president biden is set to speak with prime minister netanyahu as new deal details emerge on the blunt interactions between those two. and a new books revelation on just how far the relationship between donald trump and vladimir putin apparently goes for many of you here. >> this one makes my blood boil. we were trying to get whatever material israel's we could covid testing, whatever we could get it turned out now that donald trump was sending covid machines to vladimir putin, that we couldn't get in

according to woodward, biden told advisers, quote that's son of a bleep, bibi netanyahu. he's a bad guy. he's a bad effing guy, right? let's go live to london and bring in cnn's max foster, max good morning to you this book is full of revelations, so there's this netanyahu question. but we're also learning in this book by bob woodward about donald trump and vladimir putin and one of the things that's really stood out is that trump reportedly gave putin covid tests test machines back in 2020 when those were apparently, we're incredibly difficult to access, right? he sent them for putin's personal use, and they also report that woodward also reports that trump has spoken on the phone to vladimir putin multiple times since he left the white house. now, trump it is denying both of these reports to abc news. let's watch that clip briefly he said, was that

you've had a number of conversations with putin. >> is that is that true? i mean, i mentioned that could be no, hamas oh, really, it's false. so you haven't spoken to him since he left the white house, know and the alert and the other thing he said is that you had provided some abbott test machines to putin back during the covid pandemic. >> false the trump campaign also out slamming up bob woodward in general. but max, these obviously very pressing questions with the election looming in terms of how all of these relationships are going to be handled, moving forward, what do you make of it well you know, it's interesting, isn't it people don't shift their opinion on donald shot months when they hear these things, if you heard it in previous generations, it would have been the most extraordinary thing ever, because russia is arguably enemy number one for

the united states. >> and you hear former president having this close relationship with the russian leader, bob woodward, highly credible. i mean, no one's got a record like he has had on a big story. so we're looking at this. but the kremlin and trump's campaign both denying it whether it changes anything, does it change the conversation? i don't think it does very much, but it is fascinating in terms of what might come out of this if donald trump does become the next u.s. president, will he build this close relationship? appears to have with president putin, another strongman, it does feel like that doesn't it? >> right? for sure. and of course, on the flip side, we had tim walz we showed before the break criticizing the covid at machine tests and what we're going to see, of course what he, what comes out of that netanyahu meeting, our phone call excuse me later on today max foster never a shortage of thing thanks to talk about with you. thank you for being here. i appreciate it all right.

>> coming up next on cnn this morning, kamala harris trying to stay loyal to her boss, while also differentiating herself from the commander in chief chief as she tries to show, she'll be the candidate of change. >> floss. we track the latest on hurricane milton as it strengthens to a category five ahead of its landfall in florida on cnn cnn nexium, 24 hour prevents heartburn acid before it begins get all day and all night. >> heartburn acid prevention, which is one pill a day choose as the prevention. choose, nxivm still have symptoms from moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease after a tnf blocker like humeyra for our remicade, put them in check with revoke. >> revoke works differently and it's a once-daily pill when symptoms tried to take control, i got rapid relief. we print vote when fled there's tried to slow me down.

response when asked on the view what she would have done differently from president biden over the past four years there has done a thing that comes to mind in terms of and i've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact she was later asked a similar question by stephen colbert, air what would a harris administration look like compared to biden's i'm obviously not joe biden. and so that would be one change but also, i think it's an important to say with 28 days to go, i'm not donald i'm trump biden's policies drew criticism of course, from her opponent, donald trump the. >> child. >> me. she just did the view and they asked her a question, what would you do different from biden? oh, essentially nothing. well, what about these 325,000 kids that will probably never be seen again, they're

probably dead. their sex slaves or something okay joining us now, cnn political analyst, washington bureau chief for the boston globe. jackie kucinich. jackie, good morning. thanks for being here. >> we're going to set aside there are some serious issues with that claim that trump was making on the on the back half of that comment that said, it seems like harris should have been prepared for this question. it is striking that she didn't have its particularly the second time she was asked that day of what even even though it was phrased a little bit differently, listen, they've been trying to walk this line the entire campaign over many weeks, months, it's been at this point to try not to get not to get crossways with biden, not to walk away from everything that they have done as a unit, but also plow her new a new path. and you've seen it surprising. she didn't talk about some of these policies that i'm just had a different emphasis the perhaps you've seen in the biden campaign, she's talking a lot more about the sandwich generation. what is she talking about the view yesterday, talking a lot more about

childcare, even though the biden administration has addressed these, singer has proposed fixes for some of these problems. she has there has been a different emphasis, but you didn't hear that. you just heard what she said there? perhaps they don't want to upset the base. perhaps they don't think they need to separate themselves as much from biden because of the former president. but it's certainly it was a head scratcher there and you saw immediately that that was going to be a trump bad. it's like, i mean, clipped and put out into the world and it basically already is. >> i mean, it does seem to be it seems to illuminate just the level of sensitivity from the sitting president and his team know, i think so because otherwise why wouldn't you have an answer? >> at this point when it's such an obvious question. and particularly the sensitivity around the economy and inflation and they'll acknowledge that this is something she talks about grocery prices all the time. this there's acknowledgement that there is need and there is

concern and that people are blaming the biden administration for this. but not a willingness to depart from anything that the current administration is doing to try to alleviate some of these issues. >> all right. jackie kucinich for us this morning. jackie, very grateful to have you. thank you so much. >> alright. still ahead on cnn this morning, florida bracing for impact from hurricane milton on track to make landfall as a major pagers storm, we're going to bring you the latest updates on when the biggest impacts could hit florida's gulf coast plus the storm already turning political on the campaign trail as misinformation and continues to spread about the response to hurricane helene can reach people, puts people in circumstances where that race hey, we really, really worried if you think not, not been taken care of and ask questions like, what does a comedy show? so doing on cnn that's too much but i want donald know. can you slice that

more than 12 million people are under hurricane watches and warnings with so many people hitting the road. a new critical problem emerging long lines at gas stations as of late last night, more than 20% of the state's gas stations are reporting that they are out of gas now, florida state troopers are making sure fuel shipments are getting the impact impacted stations along evacuation routes the florida highway patrol is engaged in transporting and escorting all the fuel carriers from the ports, port manatee, port, tampa along the route of evacuation you will see state troopers and you will see fuel trucks. >> utilizing the right lane to bypass traffic let's go straight to our meteorologist, derek van dam with the latest on the storm. >> derek, what are you looking at? >> kasie. >> this storm did not weaken overnight. >> it's terrifying and we are on a knife's edge, especially in tampa because you're so close to where this could make landfall here in roughly 24 hours, but i. want to look

directly into the camera, sarasota englewood, venice, port charlotte, punta gorda. these are the areas that need to be on high alert for some of the most extreme impacts from this hurricane because of the latest trends this is the forecast track again, a landfall in category four hurricane that is new from the 5:00 a.m. update from the national hurricane center as it makes its final approach late tonight and into early thursday morning, you can see it here on the map. it will quickly sweep across the florida peninsula, bringing devastating impacts not only on the coast, but throughout the interior of the florida peninsula. we are already noticing on the key west radar the eye of this very compact very intense major hurricane and the national hurricane center identifying that as well, because of it's symmetrical appearance on radar and on satellite. so this is a wind forecasts and i want you to see how its bubbling out in size. it is expanding in size. so the impacts of the storm will be felt 100 miles, 200

miles to the north 200 miles to the south. so it's not just where the center makes sure landfall. of course that's where the most extreme impacts will be. and that is why we are on knife's edge because any wobble with these major hurricanes makes all the difference on who gets that right front quadrant. the most intense part of the hurricane, extreme winds, catastrophic winds, not only on the coast but inland as well will feel hurricane force stretching from the west coast, the gulf coast, all the way to the atlantic coast. and when we talk about storm surge we highlight this area. in particular, tampa into tampa bay, rather into port charlotte. this area, ten to 15 feet is still possible if it comes in south of tampa bay, they get a reverse search and then they bring the worst impacts into this it's region sarasota this could be a direct impact for you. we look at some of the computer modeling on extensive wave heights. there topping 30 feet in the open ocean, that will be some of

that will be realized along the post the tornado threat is increasing. we've already seen tornado warnings and miami-dade county this morning. and then the flash flood. i cannot understate this enough. this will be a major part of this story. remember, we've got this extremely rare high risk. if you see that shading of pink, casey this has only issued 4% of the time, but that's where 40% of fatalities and 80% of damage occurs. if we can remember anything from helene, it's what that rare high-risk did to north carolina. >> really, really tough. all right. derek van dam for us this morning, derek, we'll see you next hour. thank you very much. >> even before making landfall, hurricane milton already a central focus on the campaign trail. >> donald trump riding this on truth, social quote the worst response to a storm or hurricane disaster in u.s. history with another one coming, our country cannot withstand four more years of these incompetent fools the whole world is laughing at us. in addition to trump criticizing the biden administration's disaster

response, it's also been a target for misinformation, so much so that fema had to launch an entire website dedicated to responding to rumors. president biden addressing the misinformation particularly pushed by politicians i can't speak for others to damage the administration when you take care of ourselves but it misleads people, puts people in circumstances where that panic really, really, really, really worried all of these back-to-back powerful storms might be unprecedented. politicians using natural disasters as political tools it's nothing new. in 1972, shortly before that election, then president nixon visited the damaged areas of pennsylvania following hurricane agnes as we look at this effort, here that rot remains to be done this has been. >> a devastating flood. i saw

what happened in harrisburg when i visited right after the floods, i wonder whether or not we were providing the money that we should i know that we're providing a great deal. and of course we will provide what is necessary, what we can here to discuss expert and author of playing politics with natural disaster hurricane agnes, the 1972 election, and the origins of fema is timothy nuland. sir, thank you very much for being with us this morning. i really appreciate it. i you explored obviously this particular election how this hurricane played into it. i covered in 2012 superstorm sandy hit just as mitt romney and brock obama were facing off at the polls that became a central issue here tell us a little bit about what you have learned studying this phenomenon and how you see it applying to what we're seeing play out right now? >> yeah, absolutely. this is the same old playbook that we've seen in the past certainly the competence of fema is tied directly to the president. and should there be a failure, for example, under

george hw bush after hurricane hugo. and then back in 1992 hurricane andrew, a lot of people thought that bush had lost a number of votes in places like florida and south carolina because of that, you mentioned the 2012 sandy is a great example of how brock obama embrace and chris christie, actually improved barak obama's standing in the 2012 blackshear to of every five people they talk to an actual poll said that really made them feel that brock obama was someone who is caring about people presidents can use it, but also opponents for sure. >> so if you're kamala harris or the vice president of the united states, but you're at the top of the ticket. how do you think she should be navigating this moment? >> yeah i. think she's done a pretty good job in terms of this. you have to appear very empathetic, right? you have to show concern. you have to stand

by victims, victims when i know you're there literally they want you on the ground. on the other hand, you can't get in the way of fema and certainly you don't want to politicize it blow back on trump and some of those rumors going on because people right now in those areas are so set. i just tried to clean up and their lives so they're not even paying much attention. he's hoping to gain the attention of people outside of there. but again, i think he was doing a decent job of trying to correct the misinformation how do you see the differences in the information environment from now compared to them in your books, about 1972. but all this history, it's so fragmented now, what what challenges that present? >> i mean it's a challenge because in a number of ways, people are not even getting their news from places like cnn or the new york times they are using social media. they're using tiktok. so the government is got to be nimble enough to reach out through those channels as well. also, knowing

that any message teaching that they send out may not get to the people they need to talk to because they're not paying attention to what's on the socials. we saw some of that helene where maybe younger people were not aware of what was going to happen in north carolina before the devastating flash flooding and of course, with cell service out, that's another big problem they had to resort to really old-fashioned, i guess, ways of communicating the radio. >> funny. timothy mellon, thank you very much for bringing your expertise to us this morning. i'm really grateful thanks, kate. this morning, a daunting challenge for the harris campaign. ron brownstein is here to explain how the vice president could win the popular vote but still lose the election. of course happened before, plus, the dodgers and the phillies with their backs against the wall, which report up next

walz believes every vote matters in the electoral college, and he is honored to be traveling the country and battleground states, working to earn support for the harris-walz ticket. he was commenting to a crowd of strong supporters about how the campaign is built to win 270 electoral votes okay. but if kamala harris follows in the path of clinton winning the popular vote, but not the electoral college. she may still make history for democrats cnn senior political analyst ron brownstein, notes writing in this new piece for cnn.com, quote, if the vice president captures more votes than former president donald trump, it would be the eighth time in the past nine presidential elections that democrats have won the national popular vote that would establish a new record ron, ron brownstein joins us now with more ron. good morning to you but this of course, a scenario that as you note, we have seen before how likely do you think it is this time around? >> well i think it is highly likely at this point that kamala harris is going to win the popular vote. and of course, the electoral college is on a knife's edge because

the sevens we've been reduced to seven swing states, but they are all precariously balanced. let's just level set here. the most dominant coalitions political coalitions in american history, the teddy roosevelt error republicans around the turn of the 20th century, the franklin roosevelt democrats from the depression until the 1960s they won the popular vote over nine election sequence, seven times it's the most any party has done. if harris wins and, you know, national polls have are ahead, it will be eight out of nine for democrats, including five straight, which would also tie the all-time record from fdr through truman from 1932 to 1948 when the tr, ever era republicans seven to streak where the fdr democrats had that seven of nine streak they never won the popular vote and lost the electoral college. in fact, it only happened three times in american history until

2000 now, it is already in this century. it's already happened twice in 2020, 16, and there is a possibility that it could happen again in 2024. and one other one other point to note here, kasie, it's only possible that trump could lose the popular vote. and when the electoral college, it's possible that republicans could lose the pop, presidential popular vote and when unified control of government in washington has they did in 2015, as they did in 2000 before this century, that had happened only once in american history in 18, 88, when a party lost the presidential popular vote. but nonetheless, won the white house, the house the senate. so all of this is obviously a challenge for democrats and kind of maximizing their vote and spreading it out over. there competitiveness over enough states. but it is also a challenge to the civics book kind of assumption that we all grew up with and an american democracy majority his role, right? >> that if you, if more people vote for one side, that side,

gets, gets to run things wrong while i have you, i want to ask you a little bit about some of the other things we've learned just in the last 24 hours between the woodward book and of course, what kamala harris had to say in this kind of media media blitz let's just look at what she had to say when she was asked a question that it seems like she should have expected what's different between her and joe biden when she went on one of the late night shows, watch i'm obviously not joe biden so that would be one change but also think it's important to say with 28 days to go, i'm not donald trump one. >> were you surprised she didn't have a more specific answer for this question yeah. >> i was i mean, i think overall this media blitz has been effective, particularly, i think the appearance on the view, which was almost pitch perfect for its audience, which is, you know, i think is the pivotal audience in this election of basically middle well and working class women

and she has really done a lot. i think her main goal and all of these podcasts and the tv interviews has been to focus as much on personal related ability as on a policy agenda. her strength on the economy is caring about people like you, fighting for people like you. and i think her overriding goal has been to show people that her life experience equipped, sir, to understand their life experience. i mean, i think that's really what they were trying to do these last couple of days. but yeah, i am surprised she did not have a a more kind of fleshed out answers about her differences with biden. certainly, she could say, you know, my differences with the president. i leave in the room. i'm not going to kind of air them in public, but i can assure you i have my own priorities. so my own, you know a policy preferences. she didn't do that as she obviously does not want to break with him to overtly but that does risk what has been an important game for

her. she's doing better as the candidate a change? >> yeah. no. for sure and ron, the other of course, a blockbuster news is that the woodward book. and there's some scenes, especially with anthony blinken who talks about the lunch woodward, talks about the lunch where he is talking to biden about stepping, whether he's going to step aside i blinken also talked to woodward and said that biden endorsing harris as quickly as he did. harkens back to the way biden felt that he didn't get that from president obama back in 2016 what were your takeaways from all this? >> well, i think the biggest political takeaway from the book will be the revelations about the continued contact with putin and providing him the covid testing. i think you hear that a lot from harris because it kind of turns america first on its head, right? i mean, the idea that trump was writing this to putin at a time when americans were struggling going to get the same services, i think is

something that right away she picked up on and i think we'll continue to we are going to learn a lot more about the internal machinations of biden. stepping aside and certainly in that the key figure it has to be the former house speaker, nancy pelosi of more than anyone else in terms of taking what biden seem to have solidified locked down as a no, he's not going anywhere. and reopening the gate to kind of this irresistible pressure the big story kasie is just how hard it is to move this election, right? i mean, we don't have a tent pole event between now and the end between now and the finish line. i mean, we're just grinding away with this pretty stable small national lead, pretty stable small lead in michigan and wisconsin for harris, pretty state people small advantage for trump and most of the sun belt battlegrounds and some combination of pennsylvania storm-ravaged north carolina

and nevada really be at the tipping point of a very trench warfare kind of campaign that's a good way to think about it for sure. >> all right. ron brownstein for us. ron, always grateful to have you. thank you so much for being here they're having all right. time now for sports, the padre's hold off the dodgers in last night's game three to push l.a. to the brink of elimination. andy scholes has this morning's bleacher report, andy, good morning. yeah. good morning. kasie. so the dodgers, they had the best record of baseball this season, but now there are laws away from seeing that great season come to an end. and it would hurt extra bad for rodgers fans if they ended up losing to their hate and division rivals. now the padre's, they had a big second ending of this game. first and third, xander bogart sits this ground, or miguel rojas tries to make the double play himself, but he gets no outs out of that that tied the game at one. so then later in the ending its for one padres. now and fernando tatis junior just said since the sell-out crowd into a frenzy with a two run home run that made him six to one at the dodgers, they got a grand slam that x ending, but

padres, they would hold on to win six to five but to take a 21 lead in the series, the mets meanwhile, with a convincing win in game three to take a 21 lead over the phillies. pete alonzo got things started with a solo home run and the second inning, then sean minaya, i didn't need much more than that. he went seven innings, he gave up just one ron mets would win 72. there. now and away from their first trip to the an lcsw since 20 2018, he got all four series inaction today guardians and tiger is going to get things going at three eastern yankees there at the royals for a pivotal game, three, that's at seven eastern and you can watch both of those series on tbs, true tv, and streaming on max, sorry, the wnba finals is now set the links, pouncing on the sun from the start and the winner-take-all game five and a piece of collier just dominant scoring 27 points, grab an 11 rebounds. >> minnesota was up by 19 at the half. they would end up winning 88 77, and move on to face the liberty in game want to finals going to be tomorrow in new york, florida panthers

meanwhile, raising their championship banner before taking on the bridge so as in their season opener last night, they also got there championship rings and those are pretty fancy what a start to the title defense let's ban they scored four in the first period. >> they would go on to win this one by a final six to four and the utah hockey club, me, while making its debut against the black i cox and well, they gave the fans and salt lake city plenty to cheer about dylan gunther, we needed less than five minutes to score the first goal and franchise sury, the crowd going crazy, they're pretty cool moment. the team formerly known as the arizona coyotes, never trail in this one. they win their first game in there sri, it would final five to two kasie, so the salt lake city, a team or a utah hockey club, i should say off to a great start off to a great start indeed. >> all right. >> andy scholes for us this morning and so grateful. thank you very much straight ahead here on cnn this morning, hurricane milton remains a dangerous category five and its
