Transcripts For CNNW Early Start With John Berman And Christ

CNNW Early Start With John Berman And Christine Romans October 1, 2015

A dry september in dramatic fashion. Up to 4 inches rain. A woman got stuck in the flood waters in her car in boston. The driver gets to relatively dry land and stalls. The weather is snarling traffic across the region. It is bad. It is gridlock everywhere. It is flooding everywhere. I have been on the road for two hours. In maine, the National Weather service says more than 5. 5 inches fell on portland. One of the ten all time wettest days in history. It knocked out power and knocked down trees. Only trucks and suvs getting through. The problem west of baltimore. Knee deep flash flood water rushing through the streets. A love ymca was flooded out. Check out the car in this picture. Listen to the owner. I really did not know that flash flood went quick. It looked like a river. This is not over. This is the beginning. The heavy rain is a prelude to Hurricane Joaquin. Where will it hit . Lets get to meteorologist Pedram Javaheri this morning. This is just the early innings of what we could endure on the east coast. Well said, christine and boris. This is a wet forecast. Category three Hurricane Joaquin is east of the turks and caicos. The difference this year, some are taking it to South Carolina and others to massachusetts. Widespread differences in the models. The european model had tremendous accuracy with super storm sandys forecast. It was precisely on target. The vast majority of the other models want to take it to the midatlantic. The meteorology pattern is set up here. A negatively tilted trough. It sounds fancy with the weather pattern reaching full maturity with friday afternoon to evening. We have this pattern with tropical storms offshore. They want to draw the feature in toward the eastern seaboard. Some other models want to take the storm system away from the coastline over the open waters. The National Weather service wants to favor more of a coastline sunday afternoon to night. Category two for north North Carolina into the Chesapeake Bay region. This brings in winds up to 100 miles an hour and tremendous rainfall on top of what has come down. When you look at the rainfall potential in the region in excess of 10 inches in the carolinas and working to the east up to 4 to 6 inches. You know the trees have plenty of leaves on them. Gusty winds in excess of 100 miles an hour. All of this plays out in Power Outages in the forecast track takes it in this direction. This is why we are saying preparations should be taken. If the storm guides to the east, we are prepared for the worstcase scenario. I like the euro model. Everyone here is giving us thumbs up. No one wants disrupted activities next week. A lot of rain in the northeast already. Is that associated with the system or is that a different system dumping a lot of rain and you have the threat from joaquin . The state of virginia is related to the rainfall seen in the past four to five days from the gulf of mexico. Not this storm the and particular o ocean. The water has no place to go. Thank you. No Government Shutdown at least for now. Breaking overnight. Congress passing a stopgap spending bill to keep the government funded through december 11th. That is when republicans are pushing hard to defund planned parenthood. President obama calling this good news and cause to celebrate. Even if the bar for congress is quote somewhat low. A high ranking secret Service Official facing disciplinary action this morning for allegedly trying to smear the reputation of jason chaffitz. An email released was to send private and embarrassing information. That he tried to apply to the secret service 12 years ago as was rejected. He admits these revelations have him rattled. Its a bit scary. Secret service diving into my background as a sitting member of congress . It is not about me, but it is about what are they doing over there . These people are entrusted with guns by the president. They are the secret service and we give them Police Powers and dive into confidential information. Congress member chaffetz slamming Kevin Mccarthy for suggesting the benghazi was paying off politically for republicans. He thinks mccarthy should apologize. He is the leading candidate to replace john boehner. He says it is a success because it is now contributing to the Hillary Clinton poll numbers. When i hear a Statement Like that that this was always meant to be a partisan political exercise, i feel like it does a grave disservice and dishonors not just the memory of the four we lost, but everybody who served our country. We should mention that chaffetz will support mccarthys bid for the speaker. Hillary clintons staffers were concerned about her use of a private email server worrying it may invited hackers. The span revealed five phishing accounting while she was secretary of state. It is revealed that two months of the emails from the start of the state department are missing. Feder federalfficials confirmed they have not recovered them. Trump hotels hacked. Potentially stealing consumer data for an entire year. The hotel chain warning those may be affected. How hackers placed special software as customers or employees typed in credit card information. The company updating the network to make it more secure. If you dont have free Identity Fraud protection by now, doing something with a credit card, you are lucky. Not even the mighty trump. Send them back, he says. Donald trump explains what will happen to Syrian Refugees in he is elected as Bernie Sanders breaks a fund raising record next. The u. S. Countering russian claims that its first air strike in syria targeted isis. Russias first word when a russian official appeared in baghdad warning the u. S. To stay out of syrian air space. Cnns Barbara Starr asked ash carter about this unusual move. Reporter you have been dealing with the russians for years. A russian general shows up this morning at embassy in baghdad and apparently reads you your people a note saying air strikes begin in one hour. What do you make of that . As secretary of defense, is that acceptable military relations with you and where does this leave you if you sit down and talk to the Regime Military about the way ahead . Is this not bizarre . I have been dealing with them for a long time and this is not the kind of behavior we should expect professionally from Russian Military professionally. Thats one reason why i think it is a good thing to have an avenue of communication that is less unprofessional than a dropin. Remarkable. The u. S. Accusing russia of misleading of the target of air strikes. American Officials Say the war planes were not flying in isis held regions. The Washington Post reports that the strikes hit rebel areas in the area and trained by the cia. Carter accusing russia of quote pouring gasoline on the fire of syrias civil war. For the latest, lets bring in Matthew Chance live in moscow. Matthew, i have questions for this. Why they went in with little notice for the u. S. And what it means for any kind of conversation with the United States and russia to try to deescalate the situation in syria. Bring us up to speed. Reporter complicated questions to answer. In terms of how they can stop shooting each other, the u. S. And russia, there will be military to military conversations taking place early today to make sure that they can deconflict, which is the word they use to describe not killing each other and also to get clarity on the targets that russia is hitting. Publicly, russia is saying categorically we are striking isis targets. The reason it is doing that, i think, because no one is a friend of isis that will get International Support if it stresses the isis targets it hits. We have seen from Video Evidence from reports on the ground that there were other areas which are controlled by other rebel groups, nonisis groups that were hit in the russian air strikes. The russian government is ambiguous on this. The Russian Foreign minister speaking with john kerry yesterday. Saying we were invited by the Syrian Government to assist against isis and other terrorist groups as well. So clearly the russian objective here is to support the Assad Government and to fight the enemies or those that provide or propose the biggest threat to the government. That is clearly what is going on on day two of the russian syrian war. If they are striking moderate syrian rebels. The very people the United States has tried to support and train up to fight isis and to blunt the assad regime, that is russian at odds with the u. S. Interests in the middle east. Reporter right. It wont be the first time that happened. I think it is important to remember that the kremlin dont draw distinction between isis and other rebel groups. There is a plethora of groups. The kremlin doesnt draw distention between them. It sees them all and describes them all as terrorists. From the kremlin point of view, the force is Syrian Government. Bashar al assad is a longtime russian ally. Russia has strong interests to make sure it does not fall and he is reestablish control over the whole of syria. Thats what now is being played out and that may well bring russia and the United States into some kind of confrontation, political, if not actual military. The word of the day, decon flix. How to make sure they are not shooting each other. Back to the u. S. , donald trump and jeb bush butting heads on the campaign trail. This time over the subject of refugees fleeing the civil war in syria. Trump telling the town hall and cnns don lemon, as president , he would send refugees back because they could be isis sympathizers in disguise. Why are we accepting . I heard a number of 200,000 today. Are these people isis . We have no idea who they are or where they come from. Im telling you right now, they may come in through the weakness of obama, but they are going out if i become president , they are going back to syria. Whether it is safe zones or whatever. They are going back to syria. We have a noble tradition of taking care of refugees. We have done it since the beginning of time. We need to maintain that. Having said that, we need to screen people and do the things that are appropriate to make sure the people coming here are legitimate. Send them all back to a hell hole . This is the same guy that is also advocating what is supportive of putin and his emergence in syria. And there are calls from others who say the u. S. Is not bringing in enough to its refugee process. The political jabs from jeb did not stop there. Bush campaigning in New Hampshire. He said donald trump needs to put on his quote big boy pants. Marco rubio edge the past him in the polls, was also a target. Bush sat down with dana bash. Reporter there has been so much talk of donald trump and how he has affected bushs campaign. The other story line is how marco rubio is effecting jeb bushs campaign. Rubio is not only seemingly doing better here in New Hampshire and even nationally, but it is a personal issue for him because the two of them knew each other very well in florida. The two are friends. Jeb bush was his mentor. There are a lot of republicans who we talked to who are actually torn between the two. I asked jeb bush about that. Heres what he said. Im a proven leader. I disrupted the old order in tallahassee. I realilied on marco rubio and others to follow my leadership. We lead the state on job growth. We reformed what was broken. I could be that in washington, d. C. We had a president who came in and said the same thing. New and improved. Hope and change. He didnt have the leadership skills to fix things. He has been the most divisive president in modern history. We need someone with proven leadership to fix things. I believe i have those skills. Reporter that line talking about his own leadership, that is something that he is trying to press more and more. We heard it here at his town hall and maybe more importantly his campaign is now spending money, big money, on ad talking about his bio. His aides believe this is something he can actually pull off because he has the money and organization as long as people actually know that hes just not another bush. The question is how long that will take. They said they are in it for the long haul. Both jeb and trump have events in New Hampshire. We will see what other attacks they launch. Dana, thank you. On the republican ticket, ben carson and despite comments about muslims, he had a big Third Quarter haul for his campaign. They raised more than 20 million over the past three months. Carson speaking to a group of fellow physicians in New Hampshire on wednesday. Sounding like trump when funding his campaign. I have made it very clear that im not going after the billionaires and the special interest groups. Im not licking anybodys boots. Ill not be beholden to any special interest groups. On the democratic side, Hillary Clintons fund raising take was 28 million. Also a sharp drop from the record setting take of 47. 5 million in the spring. The pace of donations for Sanders Campaign picked up dramatically over the summer. He collected 25. 5 million in the last three months. His campaign touted the fact it reached 1 million online donors faster than any candidate. It turns out the big crowds are reaching into his pockets. He has a lot of support online.

Breaking overnight, Afghan Forces say they have retain the city of kunduz. The operation still ongoing. Forces working to clear taliban fighters from a few districts within kunduz. I want to bring in cnns Nic Robertson. He can tell us what is happening on the ground. How reliable are the reports that the special forces are able to oust the taliban from the strategic town . Reporter the taliban are tweeting they have pulled back from the town, but they still control the two districts inn side kunduz province. It seems unlikely the government will be in Continuous Operation there and retake the areas. The taliban have had them for months. What turned the tide here are two things for the government. One is they were able to get reinforcements through to the outskirts of kunduz and the second thing, nato and u. S. Advisors on the ground who were involved in calling in air strikes when their own positions were being threatened by taliban forces. They have that combined effect and nato u. S. Advisors helping the log jam. Can they really clear out all of the taliban . The towns people decided to side with the taliban against the local police and government. We heard reports from residents in the town that the electricity was cut and water was cut. Food prices going up two or three times for the price of regular food i tems. The government has to get the basic services up and running. The taliban will not give up entirely. We can
