because we failed to deter the aggressions of japan and germany. unfortunately, paul, i think there is a complacency that is building in today in our time. we face another axis of aggression with in russia, china, japan -- not japan, but north korea and iran. and if we don't realize it takes a military structure to defeat them, i'm afraid we could be heading for another large war. paul: rhetoric alone won't make the difference, we have the act to deter. all right, thank you. and, remember, if you have your own hit or miss, be sure to send it to us at jer on fnc. that's it for this week's show. thanks to my panel and thanks to all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot. hope to see you right here next week. ♪ [inaudible conversations]

[laughter] eric: can you imagine not seeing your loved ones for so long? there you see the emotional reunion today between four newly-released israeli hostages and their thankful families. the idf has rescued a woman and three men if kidnapped from the music if festival during the october 7th hamas terrorist attack. they are, thankfully, free and safe back inside israel after 246 days in the clutches of the terrorists. welcome to "fox news live," i'm eric shawn. hi, claudia. claude claude i'm claudia cowan in today for arthel neville. [speaking in native tongue] [cheers and applause] claudia: celebrations on a beach in tel aviv, israel, when

lifeguards announced the moment the hostages were rescued from gaza. israeli defense forces used a helicopter during today's daytime raid on two separate locations in gaza. it is the large hostage rescue operation since the war began. an israeli national police officer was killed during the mission. a former idf spokesman told us earlier today troops not stop until all of the 112090 hostages still being held in gaza are freed. >> still, we're in a very complex situation where israel is at war with at least four different iranian proxies. so the fighting continues. this is a great event. hopefully, we will see more of those, but israel is at a war, and the big, strategic picture has not changed. claudia: stephanie bennett joins us live with the latest on today's rescue. what a daring operation to. stephanie, what more can you tell us? >> reporter: that's exactly right, claudia.

eight months being held captive, it is a miracle that all four of these hostages were healthy and also unharmed. and we're taking a look at some incred incredible -- incredible imagery including outside the hospital. crowds gathered to celebrate inside the hospital. it was an emotional reunion, families elated and relieved for their loves ones' safe return, to say the least. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu stopped by to welcome them home after one of them, noa, she was kidnapped with her boyfriend who still remains captive tonight. video of her kidnapping at the nova music festival was widely shared soon after she was taken by two men on a motorbike. today the prime minister along with her family cheered and sang happy birthday to noa's father. what a birthday gift. now israel says this was the largest rescue operation since the war with hamas began on october 7th and involved hundreds of israeli troops.

this footage released from idn shows noa being rescued and put on that helicopter to the hospital. as for the other three, almog was just about to start a job at a high-tech company the day after the festival but, of course, was then kidnapped. and andri was working as a security guard at that festival. those three are all in their 20s. the last person freed who is in his 40s was also working security. >> thank you. for bringing my son to me, to us. i'm so excited that i could hug him today. >> reporter: meanwhile, more than 200 palestinians were killed during the israeli rescue operation. israel, of course, say says there are still 120 hostages still held by hamas, and prime

minister ben min netanyahu says they will not stop until everyone is freed. netanyahu continues to face growing pressure to take the ceasefire deal laid out last week by president joe biden. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken will head to the middle east next week. back to you guys. claudia: stephanie, it's just incredible to see those pictures, the emotion, hear the gratitude being expressed by those families after so much time. thank you for bringing us those details. eric? eric: that is for sure. and for more on this incredible rescue operation, let's bring in mitchell barak, an american-israeli pollster, former aide to prime minister benjamin netanyahu and joins us from jerusalem. mitchell, good to see you. i mean, it really is a testament to the professionalism and dedication of thes israeli forces -- of the israeli forces to pluck those four from the clutches of the terrorists of hamas. your reaction to this.

>> it's amazing. i mean, we found if them out it's now nighttime, shabbat is over. the rumors was all over for us that are sabbath observers and don't turn on the phone, but everyone in our neighborhood was celebrating and if talking to each other as soon as the names were mentioned. many of us knew who those hostages were, especially noa and her very unique story and the pictures from when she was kidnapped on october 7th. it is unbelievable to see those pictures of those people with their families, and we're just hopeful that more hostages will be freed. and it looks like the military operation was extremely daring and successful and, unfortunately, one of the commanders lost his life there, and that's a very unfortunate thing. but everyone is very, very happy at this point. if. eric: that commander, arna n, was a national police terrorism command per who was fatally wounded in this. and there's a photo we're showing now of the commander.

you have to think of his sacrifice, an indication of what the israel ally people go through. and i'm reminded of jonathan netanyahu who lost his life, the prime minister's brother, of course. speak to me about the resolve of the israeli people, of the idf, of men and women -- >> well, you know, it's interesting, the commander is the person that gets killed because the commander is one of the first people to go into an operation like that. it's not like the commander's in the back unlike the islamic resistance hamas if people who hide -- you know, put the civilians in front and hide behind it. the israeli commanders, who are much more experienced, go in first and lead the soldiers behind them. the resolve of the israeli people is very serious. i can tell you with i have a son who's in the army, who's in one of these units, and these boys and girls are very, very committed. i come from the generation of people that have seen our children, our sons and daughters

turn into our heroes. these are the ones that are going in, these are the ones that are motivated. these people believe that they have thousands of years of jewish history and jewish, the jewish future on their shoulders, and that is why there is such a fight among them to get into the most elite units, dot.com bat units, and that is why that motivate ises them every single day. eric: we pray and think of your son and all the youngsters. i've met some of them in israel. the suns -- sons and daughters, normal, everyday people who have the rifle on their a back is and come home and can't tell you exactly where they are deployed. it's amazing as an american we don't have that in our country, but in israel you do have that sacrifice. what is your sense then of other young people on the streets of the country today? they're out in front of the white house saying free palestine of how about free palestine from hamas? what would you say to those who are criticizing israel? if yes, there have been mistakes, yes, there are

tragedies, but look at what your country is undergoing with a terrorist organization whose headquarters is basically in iran that wants to wipe out the jewish state. >> it's a terrible thing. and when we've seen the leader of iran who tweeted in hebrew that it is the end of the zionist entity, we see the beginning of the end, but, you know, what's even more disappointing is when the iranian president is killed in a helicopter crash, no one here in israel was sorry about that, of course, yet there was a moment of silence in the united nations. and the secretary-general of the united nations actually signed the very special condolence book with. i mean, what is that? they call for the destruction of another country, they actively, you know, support terror not only of the islamic resistance hamas, but also the hezbollah, the party of god in lebanon, and the houthis who are also firing from yemen on a lot. what do we have with the houthis.

so, you know, the palestinians in gaza, you know, it's quite ironic a the that israel left there in 2005, you know, in a unilateral withdrawal under prime minister ariel sharon. i worked in that office when he was prime minister, and it was criticized by many israelis. and, you know, the hamas with their 250 miles of tunnels, that's a long enough tunnel to go from the fox studio in missouri to the fox studio in -- new york to the fox studio in washington. and you can fit if a lot of people into 2500 miles of tunnels. -- 250 miles of tunnels. why is it hamas didn't open any of their tunnels for the people to hide from the attacks against the terrorists? it's so ironic to see what's going on in the united states and on campuses. it is june which is pride month. we see queers for palestine which is ludicrous because there

are no queers in palestine. they're executed. there's capital punishment. in gaza, in ramallah they throw these people off the roofs. but they've come up with this finish this is the cause of today, to free palestine. the world has become a little bit topsy-turvy at this point. but, you know, you asked about the resilience of the israeli people, what do the israelis think. we're used to having the world against us. i can say that having the support of the united states, having the support of the white house, the congress, the invitation to prime minister netanyahu to come, a bipartisan invitation meaning our friends are in the united states and in the normal countries. is and there's a lot of countries that are not normal anymore. not only are they negotiating, they favored terror organizations. they favor those that kill innocent civilians is and then hide behind their own innocent civilians. and had the palestinians in gaza who had an election in 2006,

imagine what they could have done with the gaza strip. they were so good at building tunnels underground, better than anyone in the world. so good at trying to find better and new and improved ways to kill israelis, they probably could have made a really great place out of that a gaza strip. beachfront property with some very smart people there, but they chose, you know, radical death and destruction. eric:ed radical islamic terrorism at the the expense of western values. hamas wants to kill the palestinians themselves for their own prop began da. let's hope the democracy and integrity of the world succeeds. mitchell barak, thank you so much. thank you for your family. if. >> we will not be pushed aside! >> we will not be pushed a aside! >> while you're funding genocide! >> while you're funding genocide! claudia: a major anti-israel

protest is surrounding the white house right now. activists say they're sending a message to president biden to end america's support for israel. if mike emanuel is live right here in action at lafayette square next to the white house there. mike? >> reporter: hi, claudia. yeah, a very large crowd turned the out today calling for a ceasefire in gaza. they are clearly trying to send a message to president biden and his administration. organizers told us the idea was creating a human red line rolling around the white house. they're demanding that the biden administration stop sending bombs and military aid to israel. protesters are angry that president biden sent a military operation in rafah would be crossing a red line, yet israel went forward with the mission. some of the protesters vandalized the andrew jackson statue near the white house with red paint hand prints and purple spray paint calling for a boycott of israel products. earlier one of this rally's

organizers tried the fire up the crowd. if. >> we are not going to allow genocide to become normalized to be able to be repeated day in and day out without the government that supports, promotes, finances and provides the weapons for genocide. >> reporter: this is the third very large pro-palestinian protest in washington, d.c. since the past eight months. organizers say some folks traveled as much as 16 hours to be here. so far a pretty peaceful scene although, obviously, some of the vandalism is rather disturbing. claudia? claudia: oh, that is disturbing. mike emanuel near the protests in lafayette square, thank you. >> every today the french people and the american people are connected in countless ways. today i proudly stand with france and support freedom and democracy around the world.

eric: president biden today in paris, this evening attending a state dinner as you see at the e please say palace with french president emmanuel macron. he's not in washington seeing those palestinian protests who are in gaza and the ukraine very much part of the talks with macron and the country that that he calls our first friend. if white house correspondent peter doocy is traveling with the president and is live in paris right now. hi, peter. >> reporter: eric, good evening. that dinner continues, and while president biden's been there, we heard a story from him that is either new or rarely told. he was talking about during his toast to macron, he was talking about why he considers himself a son of the american revolution. >> i want to echo president macron's comments welcoming the safe rescue of four hostages that were returned to their families in israel. we won't stop working until all

the hostages come home and a ceasefire is reached. that is essential to happen. >> reporter: a very interesting moment today came during a coffee and president biden told macron who publicly complains about u.s. trade policies that he's been hearing it from china's xi as well. >> my last discussion with xi -- [inaudible] >> reporter: a big white house goal this week has been to show europeans president biden takes very seriously the threats russia poses to the entire continent if the u.s. and e.u. don't help ukraine beat russia back now. >> you know putin's not going to stop at ukraine. it's not just ukraine, it's about much more than ukraine. all of europe will be

threatened. we're monk not going to let that happen. >> reporter: and we just got the schedule for tomorrow, president biden and the first lady will lay a wreath at a world war i memorial before heading home to delaware for a couple of days. eric. eric: our relationship march key delove are yet, the nobleman who commanded troops at yorktown, goes back a long time. peter in paris, thank you. claudia: president biden issued an executive order week to try ask and slow the massive flow of illegal immigrants coming across our southern border, but is it working? we're live at a migrant hot spot in california to see for ourselves next. ♪ in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein! those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. -ugh. -here, i'll take that. woo hoo! ensure max protein, 30 grams protein, 1 gram sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals. and a new fiber blend with a prebiotic.

>> there was already a group being sent back to mexico. there's no agreement with us. you're going continue to see those numbers rise. you're going to see the number of gotaways and unaccompanied juveniles rise, and it's all because of this executive order. eric: president biden issued that executive order four days ago aiming to restrict asylum claims by most of those who cross our border illegally. but so far it seems it hasn't done much to stem the chaos down there. the border patrol reports it's caught over 1,000 migrants a day this week in the san diego area

alone. matt finn is live there now with the very latest on what's happening on the ground. hey, matt. >> reporter: hi, eric. this is the third pretty large group of the day that we've seen illegallies cross here just outside of sand wray go. about 40 -- san diego. about 40-50 migrants, some coming from vietnam and malaysia. the gentleman from malaysia says he understands he crossed illegally, but he considers himself a good person, and he thinks the united states will allow him to stay. earlier today we saw migrants from india, china, turkey, vietnam and mauritania. those migrants arrived before sunrise. now, border patrol, as we see, they line them up, they sit them down right thousand they process them one by one, typically put them on a bus to take them to a processing certain, often removing their shoe laces so they can't run, harm themselves or others. and i spoke to some border patrol a agents on the ground, and they said this area has been a hot spot for three years now i because there are gaping holes in our border wall, and the cartels, the coyotes, the

scouts, the people who are organizing all this know they can easily push illegal immigrants through in this area. border patrol says this right now, what you're seeing, is not what they signed up if for. historically held go out on chases, try to low a candidate the single or small groups of -- locate the single or small groups of migrants, but when these large groups cross through, they've got to sit here and process all of these migrants, and it's very time-consuming. these migrantses are arriving in large groups of 40, 50 at a clip we're seeing here. we were about until about one or two in the morning last night, we didn't see in the early morning hours, but now we're kind of witnessing a rush right now, eric. eric: that rush seems to be continuing. matt, thanks so much. >> reporter: sure. claudia: for more on the president's border order let's bring in sheriff bill wayborn of texas covering the fort world court area and, sheriff, you

also recently -- fort worth area. you testify thed at a house hearing on the border. thanks for joining us this saturday afternoon. >> thank you for having me. claudia: so, sheriff, when you testified before that house subcommittee i believe back in april, they weren wanting to know about the impact of immigration on public safety. what did you tell them, and what did they have to say to you? what was their reaction? >> well, it was a mixed statement back toward us, but what we were talking about, the actual impact we're seeing here in the county. and i brought up several issues. one of them was simply the number of opioid overdoses, the plethora of drugs that have invaded our country because of the lack of the sovereignty at our southern border. and last year in in the county, in the last six months we had somewhere in the natured of 340 to 90t -- 3400 overdoses with 180 deaths by fentanyl. this is the incredible p and it's not being addressed.

i testified to that. i testified we have about 2500 people in jail -- 2500 people it committed state crimes, and the large majority of those people, probably 25%, are being held for sexual assault of children. others we had smugglers, we had cartel members and other people that were involved in organized crime around the cartels. if claudia: so, obviously, a big impact there on public safety in your area which isn't even on the border. it's a farther north. but were you promised any resources? if what were you given in terms of promises to help? >> well, there wasn't a lot of promises to help. we had a couple of brave congressmen actually on both sides of the aisle that stood up and said it's our problem and need to resolve this, we need to create, have a good border. and one of the things that i stated and texas sheriffs agree with me is that we've got to pratt the sovereignty of our border from our immigration

system. those are two different things. we need to secure our border first. then deal with our immigration system. claudia: so, sheriff, the executive order is in effect for a couple of days now, but do you think it will be are effective in curbing the influx of migrants? of course, it's all based on numbers and, truly, we don't know what the numbers are. >> no, we don't. and we -- and there is some intelligence that has gone, some systems that have gone down on the border that counts getaways and stuff like that, so we've got even more gaps today than we had earlier according to my friends on the border. and the way it's set up, i don't know how the border patrol is going to do this, you know? when 2500 come over we're going to shut the border down, and that's already happening, more people are coming over. that's like me sending out a traffic deputy saying watch that stop sign, we'll let the first 10 run are it and start writing tickets after it.

the aclu's already suing. i think it's window dressing and political theater out of washington. i believe that's all it's going to be. claudia: well, some democratic leaders were invited to join the president on tuesday at the announcement there. interesting to note that the mayor of eagle pass was not invited even though eagle a pass is at the epicenter of this migrant class, but javier salazar was on hand, he's the sheriff in san antonio, and and he supports the president's action. here's what he had to say in front of the white house. >> this, as a i see it, is a win for if all of us, you know? we're seeing so many changes as a result of this, we're all getting familiar with the talking points of it, and is i'm just thoroughly impressed with what i've seen thus far. is it perfect? no, it's not a perfect solution are, but i think it's a really good start. i think we should all absolutely give a shot to it and continue to try and build on it as we continue to move toward a more perfect process.

claudia: well, sheriff, do you think that this is a good start? >> well, i think, i think a lot of people would think that. i do not think it is the start that we needed. i have a lot of respect for sheriff salazar, but i want to the say this, there was something that i saw that came out of it good, more technology going to the border to prevent drugs crossing. that was a positive. so that's a good help. but we have got to figure out how to secure that border. and even the president himself said it, it just wasn't the end-all, it wasn't going to secure the border. and that remains clear. claudia: and it will certainly be an issue in the upcoming debate, a top issue according to gallup among voters. and we will continue to watch and see what happens and all of or our reporters there covering the influx that continues to happen executive order or not. sheriff bill way bourne, thank you for your time today. >> thank you, claudia. y'all have a good day. claudia: you too. eric?

the lane, it looks like a dc-3. was that a goonny bird, they used to call that? >> yes. that was a c-47. this was actually the first aircraft that came into normandy. there were four this our flight. all of them had flown into normandy 80 years earlier. eric: wow, that's speck tar -- spectacular. i guess michael waltz, he's a vet too, of course, we know him. and others, what was the mood if and the spirit of you guys like? >> it was great. it was probably the best chance for army, navy and marine to get together the for a common cause. finish and mike really headed this up. he's the stick leader first in that pick -- picture and i'm second. ronny jackson's right behind me along with cory mills. it really was a great opportunity to honor those who -- they didn't jump into normandy like we did, they jumped in with the same equipment, but they jumped in with people shooting at them and

many never made it home. ing. eric: you talk about the greatest generation, and we take such great inspiration from them and face many of the same threats today, fascism, anti-semitism, we see what putin is doing in ukraine. do you think we still have it in us as a civilization to -- >> i know we do. eric: -- to defeat theseville forces? >> i know we do. i know our military still has what it takes. many of them were there, active duty. one of my own detailees took leave just to go there at his own expense. no, no, this next generation's ready, the question is are the political leaders ready to sustain what we sustained for decades not just winning world war ii, but fighting the cold war. and do it in a a way that is bipartisan. that's our biggest challenge, is to keep away from the if partisan rancor that seems to go with every question of deployment, aid and the like. you mentioned some of the

current challenges, but our biggest challenge is do people around the world believe that we're dedicated to protecting the rest of the world with their help, with their full sport? -- support? and if we can send that message to the europeans and others, then i think the next generation will be just as well off as we've been. eric: that is what america's about. we've done it in the past, we shall, we hope, do it in the future. congressman from california darrell issa, congratulations. and, by the way, thank you for your service. quite an adventure for you. >> it's a continued honor. thank you. eric: absolutely. and thanks for joining us, of course. and we'll be right back. here 'g these two every thursday. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need... ...without the stuff you don't. so, here's to now. boost. with the freestyle libre 3 system know your glucose levels.
