Right 6 00, a. M. On the east coast. A live look at clearwater, florida on the West Coast of florida as Hurricane Helene barrels through the gulf of mexico, gaining more and more strength through the day today. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us. The latest update from the national hurricane center, just a short time ago shows helene is getting stronger now with 90 mile an hour winds the storm though, expected to get much stronger than that. Helene is forecast to arrive as a major hurricane along floridas Big Bend later this evening, bringing lifethreatening Storm Surge and catastrophic winds widespread Power Outages are also expected. Recovery teams already mobilizing across the state to get the lights back on once the storm passes many people will lose power depending on where you are in the state. So just prepare, be prepared for that understand that Thats Something that could happen and have a plan in place. So youre able to whether that alright, lets get to our meteorologist, Allison Chinchar, who is tracking all of it and has the latest allison. Good morning. What are we seeing now . Yeah. Good morning, kasie. What were seeing exactly what we expected to see the storm is continuing to strengthen. It will continue to do that and go through the rest of the day today, sustained winds right now, 90 miles per hour that makes it a Highend Category one for some perspective, 95 miles per hour would be that threshold. Will we start talking about category two storms . Now the storm is over the golf well, mexico now it is very warm water here, so we anticipate that going to continue to strengthen because this warm water is fuel for storms like this. So now whats expected to happen is it will continue to increase eventually making it to a major hurricane, likely sometime today when it does, its going to continue its track off to the north and make landfall late tonight. If somewhere along the big Bend Region of florida now, at the time of landfall, the forward speed of this storm could be around 25 miles per hour, or even faster than that for some perspective right now, its moving at 12 miles per hour. The thing is when it moves, that fast, especially as it will at landfall, that means it can move pretty far inland before it weakens back down to a cat or back down to a tropical storm. You can see still expected to be a category one hurricane across portions of southern and central georgia. This means a lot of cities that are hundreds of miles away from the ocean, like atlanta, greenville, spartanburg, and even nashville are likely to pick up significant impacts from this storm. Obviously, the highest impacts are going to be along the coast. Youve got the potential for 15 to 20 feet of Storm Surge right there in the big Bend Region, not to mention incredibly heavy rainfall and strong winds through the day all right. A lot to watch out for their Allison Chinchar for us this morning, allison, thank you very much. Were going to be keeping an eye on this storm throughout the hour, but with just 40 days to go until Election Day. Its still the economy stupid. And Vice President Kamala Harris was in western pennsylvania, deepen the Rust Belt in a mustwin state, trying to explain to voters who say that they need to know more about her, just how she would handle the economy as president i promise you, i will be pragmatic in my approach. I believe we shouldnt be constrained by ideology. And instead should seek practical solutions to problems. Look, im a capitalist i believe in free and fair market that was some not so subtle pushback against Donald Trumps consistent attacks against harris as quote, Comrade Kamala and then shes a marxist, were not ready for a marxist president and we never will be, we dont want marxs to be running our country because its a short way to well, so we pass socialism. Shes a communist her views are communist all right, joining us now to discuss any Linskey Reporter for the wall street journal, elliot williams, cnn, legal analyst, former federal prosecutor Karen Finney, cnn political commentator, former Senior Adviser to Hillary Clintons 2016 campaign. Marc lotter, the formers special assistant to President Trump and former Press Secretary for Vice President mike pence. Welcome to All Of You. Thank you so much for being here. Elliot, when i was listening to this Speech Yesterday and kind of reading some of the headlines it really did strike me that she had these lines in their machine, called herself a capitalist. She he was the word pragmatic, the pushback against the way Donald Trump has been framing this race seems very clear to me. I thought it was very interesting. What was your take, right . Its not a surprise that she used the word capital. Its not surprising. She mentioned last week, but shes a gun owners speaking to a seven segment of the population that i think she thinks she needs to target. I would also note that the speech took place in pittsburgh, another part of the incident with the Vice President happened to be in the swinging at City Swing State in this election. That that was deliberate as well. And so its part of a very disciplined message from the campaign. It really just depends on whether voters buy it a big criticism has been that voters dont know. In the media do not know enough about what the Vice President s economic policies are. And again, it remains to be seen how much this moves the needle about whether people are comfortable with what they do know. Yeah. I mean, it looks sounds like weve got an 80 Page Plus Policy bag that theyre now going to point to and say, well here we have this my question. I mean, look, Hillary Clinton put out a Lot Policy papers, didnt mean to voters really kind of bought what she was selling, you know what i havent been struck by when the economy with these two candidates is that both of them have degrees and economics, which is the first time in this certainly modern history, they both went to College And Focus on economics. So they have, both have a strong background and, you know, there are in some ways and i know i might get some pushback from the panel here they are both saying similar. There book is similar message, which is investing in countries and in manufacturing and industrial policy. Theyre going about it very different ways, but they are both essentially saying that they want to bolster manufacturing an american jobs what harris is saying, we want to do this through Tax Credits Donald Trump is saying we want to do this via tariffs, but its the same goal, right . So forgive me because what andy just said, in fact correct. But it does in Fact Sound as though harris is the republican in this Scenario And Donald trump is the liberal in terms of the nature of the policies. I mean, mitch mcconnell, Marc Lotter looks at Donald Trumps policies and says these are not conservative well, i also, i think the one thing when we talk about tariffs, we have to remember as hes talking about free and fair trade, reciprocal trade. So he will talk about tariffs if a country is not treating us fairly or well, hes a manufactured on dear a manufacture. If you take american jobs and then ship them overseas to mexico and expect to sell it back here in the u. S so its protecting american jobs. But the thing i took him from the speech Last Night with Vice President harris, as she said, shes a capitalist, followed up by Government Price controls and rent controls, which isnt capitalism well, trump has talked about Price Controls as well. I think that the challenge in what hes talking about is, you know tariffs can work if its very strategic, hes not talking about them in a very strategic way. Its, its much more of a like what audience am i talking to . Okay. You get something, you get something and think about if you think about 200 tariff on John Deere, thats a tax on farmers, people who really cannot handle more taxes he talked about tariffs in a way that doesnt actually clarify that the companies pay the tariff, which means they pass on the cost to us versus i think what harris is talking about in the other reason i think she wanted to lay this out as pragmatic was to say, look, ill work with business, ill work with, you know, the private sector or we will work with economists to figure out whats going to be a smart strategy not i cant be dont want to be defined by, you think this is liberal, you think this is conservative, but rather well, whats going to make sense im sorry, one second. I just want to play Mark Cuban ben was at this event that harris held, right . And he was defending her right this businessman, i want to play a little bit of what he said after and then elliott feel free to jump in, watch Donald Trump really is the one that should be worried when it comes to the economy. She was 2030 points behind 45 days ago. Now, the trend is her friend and shes catching up. Look at Donald Trump. Hes threatening one of the most legendary companies in america, John Deere with 200 tariffs that would make buying from china cheaper than buying from john John Deere. Thats insane. So hes looking to just throw just beat down american companies while Vice President harris is saying, look, we want to work with you. I want to talk to you yeah. So a couple of things, what hes saying there and its a fact Kamala Harris has cut into Donald Trumps lead on the economy, which is, which was in certainly is to some extent will look at hes going to win the election, thats happened and why the plane was gonna make before, is that tariffs sound like such a great idea when you frame them in terms of this does not protecting american business and american consumers the problems that when you start talking about Slapping Tariffs on goods that might be coming from england and our allies are countries that we trade a tremendous amount with. That that can carry as karen was saying, a tremendous cost to actual consumers and erica, but the Material Point though, it does sound good. And this is about messaging jake. Its great and thats what hes greater. And you start talking about Tax Credits. Its a target for people to understand. And i thought her point of saying, what trump is saying is not serious, was an interesting one. Its a way for her to ratchet down the rhetoric. Weve talked about before on this show, but also poke trump get. At this point that this is a broad based concept that hes trying to challenge Kamala Harris faces, is that the american peoples hopes and aspirations are to not get Sticker Shock at the Grocery Store and the gas station. And she has no answer for that. And thats going to be really ultimately her undoing i was going to be we unfortunately have to go to break karen, but, you know, she has been separating herself from biden in certain ways. And i think some of the stuff maybe out of her direct control and is going to have a huge impact. I think youre right about that. All right. Coming up next here on cnn this morning new York City mayor Eric Adams is defiant, insisting that he is innocent and refusing to step down after being indicted. Plus calls for a ceasefire. The u. S. And its allies are banding together, asking Israel And Lebanon to ease tensions and we of course, continue to track Hurricane Helene.

Now we take the war to them all jews well be entirely false based on lie but they would not be surprising always knew that if i stood my ground, All Of You but i would be a target or the target. I became new York City mayor Eric Adams, expected to surrender to authorities early next week. Sources telling cnn hes being indicted on at least one federal criminal charge. The indictment follows a monthslong federal investigation into possible Campaign Fundraising violations. And foreign influence the exact charges are not known at this time. Some local leaders are calling on atoms to step down among them, new York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasiocortez it is a very unfortunate time we do not want to see this happening in our city, but unfortunately it is. And i think for the best of the city. And so that we can continue to staff the administration of the city it would be best for near out of state or jeffries so elliot williams, what do we know about whats going on here . The foreign influence at piece of this. And weve seen a number of resignations across his aides. I mean, this has all fallen apart. Its not just resignations. Its even before the resignations, the searches of peoples homes, the searches of peoples devices. This season im Eric Adamss own Cell Phones and personal devices and so on. It was clear that something was brewing. Now, whats going on is allegations, at least right now, the rumored allegations we havent even seen the indictment yet in effect, Influence Peddling with the turkish government. Its the Fund Raising and providing things to individually vigils. There, including through some staff in his office. The thing that i was thinking about just this morning, anybody watched and youve got baltimore connections, the wire know what i mean not even joking aside, two things lets tend to really do big City Mayors in its, the fundraising as happened to Clay Davis in the show, but also the cronies around them that will not tell them know when people show up with bags of cash and asking for favors and so on it now theres no bags of cash in New York, but its the same general pattern of conduct. Its not getting in the way of either the mayors or other peoples impulses. Its happened before. And just given the proximity that weve seen to the mayor of the kinds of people that were being searched charges here probably inevitable. Yeah. I mean, this is just like a shocking when i woke up tomorrow, im sorry that they did what i they indict in the mayor of New York but Karen Finney were also apparently hearing that if in fact he does step aside for small im interested to have you think he should step aside, but were also hearing that if theres a special election, one, Andrew Cuomo, according to our reporting, has been telling those around him, he would run if adams left office and a special election were scheduled if adams resigns before the last week in march, the Acting Mayor has to put one on the calendar yeah. Good luck with that. Andrew what a stupid idea. I mean, he just jones and for power or attention. I dont know. He doesnt realize its like just Shut Up and go away. We dont were not interested that being said, im sure im going to get your some blowback on that one because i think we just had a little little tweeted clip i kn
