him, cannot finish a thought it nonsense trump blasted the biden-harris administration, calling the current white house nightmare of inflation, invasion, and humiliation. >> and he promised a rosy future for the country if he is elected with your support, will bring back our nation's strength, dominance, prosperity, and pride. >> we're going to do it this will be america's new golden age 100 years from now, the presidential election of 2024 will be looked upon as america's greatest victory. i hope that's true at georgia kicked off early voting last

week and more than 1 million people have already cast their ballots. cnn's rafael romo spoke with voters about the stakes of this election. raphael have been standing in line for over an hour on polling sites hearing vnet county and other locations across the state of georgia burnett county is not only the most ethnically diverse in the entire state of georgia, but it has also had a great population growth in the last few years, surpassing the one million mark over the summer, president biden carried when it county and 2020 and it is in counties like this one in battleground states like georgia, where the 2020 four election may be decided people are very motivated by friday voters had already cast more than 1 million ballots here in georgia this is early voting started tuesday, some poll workers say they had never seen this level of interest from voters in our working extra

hard to make sure the process this one smoothly, given the unprecedented number of people voting early yesterday, was the highest voter count i've ever had in my career with elections. >> i worked my legs off we had over 1,200 voters here in 12 hours some voters are motivated by how convenient it is to find a time when the lines are not too long and cast a ballot but instead of doing it on election day when many people have to work. >> but other voters told us they are motivated by issues they deeply care about, like the economy abortion rights, and taxes. >> the country is being headed and in one way, and i i just want to see people getting along and the negativity that's out there is just too much. it's too much. we have to learn to work together. >> and that may be easier said than done here in georgia, stayed dutch overturned seven 900er rules passed by the republican-led state election board. that according to democrats, would have allowed local officials to delay or decline certification of

election results. both the top lawyer for georgia's secretary of state and the chairman of the state election board, have directed all state and local election officials to ignore those seven rules. victor amara, back to you thanks so much with me now congressional reporter for punchbowl news, mica soellner mika, good morning to you. >> let's talk about this latrobe rally with former president trump at 16 days left. the point now is to get your voters out, especially while the earth will the voting is happening not a lot of new policy coming. it's not expected. he's spent the first 12 minutes talking about golfer arnold palmer, who died eight years ago. here's some of it. >> but arnold palmer was all man and i say that it all due respect to women. i love women. >> but this guy this guy is a guy that was all man when he

took showers with the other pros, they came out of there. they said, oh my god about this political rally. >> i didn't even know that they were group showers and golf, but he's his crowd there seemed to enjoy it, eat it up, does it work? if this is the get out, the vote effort, and that's how he spends the first 12 minutes. >> thanks, victor, i think that we have to make sure we understand who former president trump is addressing. i think that his kind of going off script, you know, invoking that kind of, you know, however you may want to call whether it's crude or that kind of humor or are kind of the classic donald trump is something that really resonates with his base. obviously, this is a time where both candidates are making their closing messages. so if trump does go off script, which we've seen him at various times, i think that that's

something that's going to help his base, but i don't know if it's actually going to sway any people that are still undecided, no matter how many despite how many there might be out there. >> yeah, slim number. so let's talk about the vice president in atlanta and detroit yesterday in atlanta this morning, she'll be back later this week expected with her former president obama you cover congress what's the view from the democrats on the hill about how this campaign is run the confidence that she can get across the line and the way in which she's trying to be trump yeah democrats are. really excited. i would say, especially in the fact that there are outfundraising republicans up and down the ballot we've seen this with the harris campaign and also just house democrats and senate democrats in general. i also think that they view harris as someone that can excite a new base of voters that a president biden maybe struggled with. they're hoping that she can

reach more voters of color, young voters, people that may maybe wouldn't have turned out for the current president so they're really hoping that she can kind of get that message out. i know that there's key groups on the hill. the congressional black caucus, the asian american caucus. and these groups that are also helping her reached these these targeted groups. >> there are some democrats, though that are keeping their distance some democratic senators, especially in swing states, are now promoting their ties to former president trump. we know that senator baldwin in wisconsin, she is in a tight race. she has an ad up talking about working with trump. here's a portion and of an ad from senator casey in pennsylvania. it's entitled titled independent watch this do you see bucks biden to protect fracking and he's sided with trump to end nafta and put tariffs on china now, just stop them from cheating in this house, we agree it's bob casey who is doing right by pennsylvania and bob casey and i definitely approve this message yeah the title of the

ad is independent fivethirtyeight shows that kasie voted with biden 98.5% of the time. >> what does this attempt in the last few weeks tell us about some of these races? >> i think it goes to show how close some of these rust belt races are really going to be in the senate in the, for the control of the senate as well you know, a lot of these senators running in places like wisconsin, ohio, montana are really running to the middle right now. they want to appear independent. they don't want to be tied to the top of their ticket. they don't they don't want to be tied to harris or by biden and they want to show that they can buck their party at times because that's the thing that they think that can appeal to moderate republicans or independents that are going to vote for them in this final stretch. so it's a smart strategy to tie themselves with trump because they will need to peel off some of his voters and possibly get some split ticket voters to win their elections. >> all right, let's talk about this texas senate race. just this morning. the editorial board at the dallas morning news endorsed congressman colin all read to replace senator ted

cruz. i mean, for much as that is worth in this era, and also it editorial board indoors, the two democrats before who ran against ted cruz. what do we know about that race and the potential for a democratic flip? >> i think that it's a difficult race for democrats to win. we have to, we have to say that i think that ted cruz has kind of been comfortable in the polls and i know that some democrats have an upset that more money and more infrastructure wasn't invested too early in this race. but is also trying to moderate his stances as well and try to appeal with some of these voters. so anything can happen, but i know that there's definitely some democrats that have said that they wished more was done to invest earlier, but we never know. so i guess we'll see what happens mika solner. >> thanks so much. it's a cooper moderates a cnn presidential town hall with vice president kamala harris will face questions from voters, hear their most pressing issues that's on wednesday, 9:00 p.m. eastern

continuing to follow major developments happening here in the middle east right now, israel says that kevin d. rockets have been fired from southern lebanon. as the israel defense forces says that some projectiles were intercepted, others were identified on the ground and remote areas crews are working out to put out fires as a result of all of that. and despite israel's incursion across the border, i should note it's been targeting dozens of south lebanon villages and towns overnight. we're seeing it also targeted one city for the third time this week as tensions are very much still running high in this region, is right now, israel is weighing how and we're when it's going to respond to iran's missile barrage from october 1st. all of this is happening following the death of the hamas leader yahya sinwar. as tonight, we're learning more about a leak of us intelligence. it could give more insight into how israel is weighing its response to the iranian attack. cnn's matthew chance is here with me now, and maggie were people who we're just waking up and learning about this, this intelligence

leak that has happened. it's not clear if it was a hack or a leak exactly where the sources information came from. >> but us intelligence document it's that seem to show what as they're tracking inspiring to see what israel's thinking when it's considering its response to iran's attack. >> what are we learning in these documents well i mean the documents themselves are what's been described to me, sort of embarrassing rather than damaging they are to documents that describe satellite images it doesn't actually show the satellite images some selves. >> but one of them talking about a recent israeli exercise which has was the peers to be planning certain elements of a potential strike against the ran the other document is talking about weapons and equipment placements around around israel as well. but but nothing specific that it would actually cause actual damage to the battle plans that, that israel may have but nevertheless, there's a lot of concern being expressed he sort of buying closed doors in israel about where this leak

came from. and obviously the u.s. is investigating that. it says it's possible it could have been some sort of low-level sort of operative in the u.s. with opinions is what israeli sources that i've been speaking to saying. but it's also possible the israeli media or speculating on this. it's also possible this could have been some kind of deliberately to try and contain israel and to prevent it from moving ahead right now with any plans that may have to strike that's not clear that it is that but that's certainly something that's being discussed behind closed doors hearing israel yeah, us officials seem angered and embarrassed by this league because i mean, everyone knows that allies, spy on one another. but it just shows how closely the u.s. is tracking what israel's considering as president biden has been very clear publicly that they should not go as far as to hit no nuclear sites, facilities, oil facilities as well. but this is coming as netanyahu is issued a new statement about the drone that was fired. they say from

lebanon towards his house, he was not home at the time, neither was his wife, sarah netanyahu i didn't actually hit the home, we believe that it landed somewhere in the area, but he's calling this an assassination attempt. obviously, you saying it came from lebanon, hezbollah, which is backed by iran. how could that factor into this response that we're waiting to see what it's interesting. >> i think it's very hard line in the protection that these ready prime minister is making about what was a drone attack that didn't actually sort of injure anybody at his residence in caesaria coastal city where his private houses but the fact that these ready prime minister has come out and said this was an assassination attempt by the agents of iran in lebanon. he's talking about hezbollah, obviously and saying he will not deter him or israel from carrying out its, its plans and its war of revival as his characterize these military operations that are taking place around the region at the hands of israel at the moment? >> yeah, it implies that this is sort adding sort of momentum. >> it's adding justification if you like, for some kind of

strike against lebanon, some kind of strike against iran in the, in the very nia near future. to what extent the recent us leak that we've been discussing has changed those plans or delayed them. that's not clear but certainly the whole region right now shows no sign of coming down. there's been a big strike over the past several hours inside northern gaza health ministry officials there saying 87 people have been killed in a single strike that's so all these hopes of a rant about the death of hamas leader yahya sinwar, opening a window for a possible ceasefire for peace. those are looking like ancient history at the moment. >> yeah, those lasted for about 24 hours and it seems to have dissipated. matthew chance. thank you for that reporting. i do want to get more on this intelligence leak that is now happened that as matthew noted there, us and officials are very much investigating this right now, how this information could have become public, was it deliberate? was it an accident? we've got colonel cedric leighton, a cnn military analyst as joining us. and

first colonel, let me just ask you, as you're looking at these documents and what has been revealed, dealt there, how damaging do you believe this is? whether that's interesting? terms of what it reveals or just for the relationship in and of itself yeah, kaitlan. >> good morning. there are certain factors here in matthew is absolutely right. these are not documents that will reveal everything that the united states knows about what israel is doing. and also by extension, won't reveal everything that is israel actually is do more planning for these attacks on iran, where this attack on iran. but it's still bad news because it shows some degree of vulnerability of the u.s. intelligence system. the two documents in question, one of them is from nga, which is national geospatial intelligence agency. that's the one that does all the imagery, all of a sudden light data. the other one is purportedly from nsa, from the national security agency. and that's the agency that intercepts communications, there's signals, intelligence agency i work for ai during

part of my career and basically what they do is of course, not only get signals intelligence, but also potentially cyber information. so those are the kinds of things that we're talking about. but documents themselves reveal very little about what the israelis are actually doing. the movements discussed in them would be routine in any case when there's a preparation for something major, whether it's an exercise or an actual material event as far as the actual relationship with us and with israel that can do some damage, these revelations can do some damage into course it raises suspicion among the israelis as to how secure the americans actually are and their intelligence services. and it also gives, them the idea that maybe we wouldn't be sharing information with the americans after all us officials that we were talking to last night as this was becoming public and posted

on telegram, seems stunned i by the disclosure of this material. >> i mean, what what level of employees would have access to this would low-level employees have access to this kind of sense? that of intelligence information yes potentially they would because the way the united states organizes its intelligence agencies a lot of low level employees whether they're military or civilian actually do have access because they are the ones that are doing the analysis and the collection of that intelligence. >> so they would be able to see some of that plus the way the u.s. structure is set up. there is basically a requirement to share a lot of the information so that you get the disparate pieces together. if you're performing intelligence analysis. so if you have access to the computer networks that where this stuff resides on, then you basically have access to a large portion of the u.s. intelligence take. >> it doesn't mean you have access to the most sensitive

information. >> this was not the most sensitive information, but it does show that you have a pretty broad understanding or can achieve a pretty broad understanding by having access to that network >> let me ask you another question on this because we are waiting to see how israel responds to iran after that barrage of missiles that they launched towards israel. in. response to another attack from israel on october 1. and last night, president biden or former president donald trump was at a rally and he was talking about a call he had with the israeli prime minister he effectively said that netanyahu, he referred him as bb by his nickname, told him he's not listening to president biden on what steps to take next, the u.s. has urged israel to backed with a bit of restraint here, not to go after nuclear facilities, not to go after oil facilities and i just got a statement from the israeli prime minister's office, their version of that call well with trump and they said, quote, in his conversation with former us president donald trump, prime

minister netanyahu reiterated what he has also said publicly israel takes into account the issues the u.s. administration raises. but in the end, will make its decisions based on national interest. what do you make of that claim from donald trump wrote one might actually courage, because what you're seeing is some of these things that we think about when we talk in public about the. >> relationship between the u.s and israel there's a reluctance from the israeli side too, actually follow president biden's advice that does seem to be playing out in several different instances. the way the israelis went into rafah, for example, in gaza, the way the israelis conducted their operations against hezbollah, a lot of that is pretty clear that they didn't limit the way they conduct their operations, so they didn't listen to those us requests but on the other side of this though, kaitlan is the fact that what israel is doing does help the u.s. strategic

interests in a way because it helps secure israel. we have committed ourselves to is real and in essence, what the israelis are doing is breaking the ring of conflict that iran and its proxies have had all around israel by eliminating the leadership and how hamas and gaza and hezbollah leadership in lebanon the israelis are actually securing their area and that's making it easier for the u.s. to help israel protect itself. so that's one side of it. but to get to back to what former president trump said the discussion with bibi was probably pretty accurate and it was probably pretty frank and it wouldn't surprise me of prime minister netanyahu actually said those things too former president trump of course, is we're waiting to see the results of the election israel's watching mentioned closely colonel cedric leighton as always, thank you for your expertise, more on these stories and also on the 2024
