9:10 am
before we mention names what qualities are you looking for the think the president should look for in terms of his pick? >> really good to be with you. great candidates he obviously is thinking about choosing. all that would be fantastic you want somebody who's going to be able to deliver your message at the end of the day people vote for the president that is who they make the decision on. unit seven to make your face and carry your message support you and help you once you get elected and be the most effective in terms of government. sue fort le let's take a list of some of the names you see governor doug trent said he's out there is a self-made businessman. what you think his chances are what would you look at for him and does he have any negatives? >> only president trump knows the answer to that question. he is a tremendous candidate. i've known and worked with him
9:11 am
and business he's been a two-term governor is not an outstanding job. he knows energy but he knows agriculture he knows a business he could fit into a lot of different roles. the other thing is he's an absolute master in terms of information technology. now think about that. with ai and what's going on with the internet things like tiktok, social media, all of those things would enjoy and have a partner in the white house who is an expert when it comes information technology? he is rock solid across the board would be a great choice. steve or jd vance a senator from ohio with that you've got the state of ohio of course which is a swing state when you think about senator vance? >> a great life story. very talented. new to the senate were just getting to know him. already he has established himself in doing a great job of carrying the message for president trump's about and that
9:12 am
is the key who can deliver that message that is what matters to the voters piglets other names tim scott, marco rubio, tom cotton any of those set out to you? >> tim scott and marco rubio, tom cotton intelligent sharp good friends work with them for a long time. again i start out saying the present is a tremendous lineup and i know there are others as well. we go back to a close friend of mine and has been they are outstanding candidates. and of course the president is doing an amazing job he was up on the hill just this past week he came up to help everyone and that race as well and offer his support whether it is the house or the senate because it's about winning all three. it's senate and house as well to get the right agenda and place for american spirits before we
9:13 am
talk individuals in the past they have looked at geography but they looked at states they looked at balancing age george h.w. bush picking down oil because he was younger and indiana. picking senator biden he was an established washington hand i imagined and also the fact the former president trump picked mike pence former congressman and lots of governing experience. would you give the odds on who you think could be picked who could check those boxes? >> again great candidates. as i laid out doug burgum covers all of those phases and then some. but of course the president, president trump is the only one who knows which way this is going to go. and at the end of the day all of these individuals run amok the key is that reinforce the presidents and message in his agenda for america getting
9:14 am
inflation under control. making sure our troops are supported and respected in the world. safety in our communities is a huge issue. those things that matter to people's what president trump is going to deliver. whoever he picks is the one most effectively help them do just that pic with one of the strong message is the president has been given the former president has to do with hamas and israel. he is saying the u.s. should let israel finish the job against the terrorist. you were over in the middle east you are in cyprus and egypt trying to get support for israel but what is the reaction there? what are you seeing in terms of the fight against hamas? >> is absolutely right. we have got to help israel completely defeat hamas that means completely destroying their military capability. is not just about the beating hamas is sending a message to all terrorists any of the other ironic proxies in the middle
9:15 am
east or anywhere else in the world. isis, you name it we have to wipe out terrorism. and that means with hamas who got to help finish the job that is why i was over there i'm going to continue to do everything i can to support israel in that effort. and we need to across america we need to make sure we provide the health and support for israel to completely defeat hamas. eric: what you think of those who seem reticent or hesitant about that? the biden administration has been accused of that in some quarters you've got the protests out in the street ending the occupation. gaza is occupied by hamas, folks. what about those who want to say that is fine. >> they are right they are absolutely wrong. look what happened on october 7 here you've got israel was attacked by hamas horrible brutal attack and now they are
9:16 am
fighting back. the individuals that are out there demonstrating that are mis- represented what happened we've got to see through that. we have got to see clarity in terms of supporting israel. it's a part of standing up globally that means our safety here at home as well. this twisting of the facts, we got to cut the cut through thath got to tell the truth and that is hamas is the aggressor here they have to be defeated. they are hiding behind their own citizens and hospitals and schools and everywhere else. think about that. can you imagine if anyone else did that we would call it out right away. went has bullet does it and they are doing it right now. they are the ones causing the casualties they are putting their own civilians in front of themselves. they could end this any time all this talk about a cease-fire we can have a cease-fire right now
9:17 am
if hamas surrenders and they are the ones holding out for a cease-fire. they are the ones holding the hostages as well. eric: those critics blame israel but hamas could end it right now, y your absolute right north dakota senator good to see you. one name we did not mention the vp list have up that guy from north dakota. [laughter] >> thanks eric you've got great candidates he'll make a great choice for a qu for quickset ore a thank you. arthel: fall out it israel after the idf deadliest day in six months we will have a live report from tel aviv coming upov nextid. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

eric: israeli government reacting to the loss of the eight idf soldiers who were killed in southern gaza yesterday paid the idf says one of its armored vehicles was hit by an explosion. it is a deadly essay for the idf since hamas killed 21 soldiers in january. meantime we are learning more about last weekend dramatic hostage rescue. trey yingst live and tel aviv with more on all of this. >> good afternoon we are following this tragic update from inside gaza. yesterday eight israeli soldiers were killed in a single incident
9:22 am
what an explosion rocked the armored personal cable or. they are investigate the exact cause of the blast weather wasn't ied and rpg or antitank guided missile but they say these soldiers were leaving gaza and the southernmost city when the incident took place and additionally to other soldiers killed in gaza yesterday when an ied exploded next to the tank they were traveling in. as you noted one of the deadliest days for israeli forces inside gaza since the war began i've been speaking with israeli defense officials throughout the weekend trying to get an understanding of what comes next for this conflict we do know israel will continue to go after their mate inside gaza we are learning new details about the daring hostage rescuee operation took place last weekend brought for israel is home their new video being released by the israelis showing the special forces operating to save the woman rescued during
9:23 am
the operation she is told by the israeli forces she is safe for their speaking to her and hebrew bring her out of the building all taking place on the southern front as israeli forces remain on high alert in the north the weekend sought more attacks along the board of antitank guided missiles, drones and rocket fire deep into northern israel israeli forces say they are preparing for the possibility of a larger conflicts with the lebanese militant group. >> the dramatic rescues and the loss of those soldiers just another example of the sacrifice of the brave courageous soldiers. >> thank you. at age 81 president biden is the oldest commander-in-chief in u.s. history. former president trump joseph celebrated his 78th birthday on friday for some all of this could be age questions about
9:24 am
both candidates let's bring in blue stack and former advisor to speaker john weiner as well as congressman adam king. good to s see you thank you for joining us. i think we will start here. first do you think for some the agent comparison is an intentional distraction from comparing past performance and promises for the people? >> the age of question is what people should be concerned about but for both candidates leading the respective parties right now. i think the debate at the end of the month shows us that and they talk about the policy issues the cognitive decline in both candidates is very evident to anyone watching former president trump give a speech or anywhere that president joe biden is going. this should really focus on for
9:25 am
us as voters is the vice president pick. people not given that in the past this election cycle devise a presidency that selection that choice is going to be more important than it ever has been before. >> okay so meanwhile to what degree of responsibility should all forms of media be held accountable with addressing this topic fairly and without favoritism. >> pointing out both sides of it. it is evident when you listen to the former president give a speech he goes on these tangents up honestly i don't think he knows where he's going with it. he seems to be very confused and puts us back to some things that are and has a repertoire or things he always says but similarly point out the fact president joe biden seems to be confused in a lot of places is i'm not saying this to be mean i think it is sad and disheartening to watch it is really sad for us as a country as a system where the political
9:26 am
party but these two candidates in this position. their families are encouraging them to do this so many to step in and do some have hope at the conventions there's a conversation to be had about is this the best choice for each party to put these two gentlemen up there? i do not think it is i would hope again people having real conversations about the toll beforethefour years of being prt takes on any person whose how the 48 -year-olds and 56 -year-olds are present in the years have passed the toll it took on them. imagine what this does to somebody who is already in a declining cognitive abilities for another four years a very strenuous job will do it can't be good for their health and as a country i do have sympathy for i feel bad for them. honestly it's sad to watch for both of them to be publicly displayed in washer cognitive abilities decline like this.
9:27 am
but as a party we should do better. >> let me jump in there you had a lot to say and i will follow up with a couple of questions, it was good. at this point do you expect either candidate to drop out of the race there's one question. the next one should an age limit to run for president be considered? what's the first question part of me still does believe joe biden is not going to be the candidate. i have long believed and august he'll let the party now he is not up for another four years of this job. is not good for him, his help for the country or for the party i think there will be an opportunity there for him to do that. i will say that first and second it's not just about the agent number. there are plenty of people in their 70s who maybe have a cognitive ability of a 50-year-old i didn't want to put a blanket statement like that but what we are watching play
9:28 am
out for biden and trump is a cognitive decline. it's obviously age-related there may be a question down the road needs to be an age gap we have a retirement age of 65 yet we have two people running for the highest office in the land the commander-in-chief the leader of the free world they are in a decline it is telling our enemies we are at weekend we need to be putting out a strong presence on the world stage i don't see how either of these would project the strong image for us. >> i understand the age limit to run that is by a certain time you max out in terms of age we are certainly not trying to denigrate people in their 70s and 80s i know personally many of them who are very, very, very sharply also know being the president as a whole other ball of >> and such a grueling job
9:29 am
really quickly short answer you said you think president joe biden will possibly drop out before the convention or at leae by august. what do you think about the former president trump is he in for the long haul or would he drop out as well? >> note he is in it for the long haul he is not leaving. >> why do you say that so it's essentially? >> he loves this. former president trump loves being on the center said she would not want to give to somebody else is he will hold onto it. >> mark gillespie good to see you. we'll see you next time thank you. >> good to see you, arthel. >> major cities and spending lots of money to care for migrants and for some gas what that means cutting the police and fire budgets is that fair? what do you see how much it is costing some cities and states next here on "fox news live."

9:35 am
for a run last august she never came home. the body was found got a dna match from a home invasion here in l.a. and march 20203 were assaulted. when police arrested hernandez and tulsa, oklahoma. crossing the southern border illegally harvard county sheriff believes the white house that ad members of both parties in congress for not doing enough to tackle illegal immigration. appoint heat reiterated on fox and friends this morning. >> and unnecessary tragedy. we need to do a better job in this country of securing our borders. at least tried to do it and that is not what we are seeing for
9:36 am
our federal government. this should not have been allowed to happen. >> hernandez is expected to be extradited from oklahoma to maryland to face murder charges. arthel: jonathan hunt thank you jonathan progress a constant surge of migrants at the southern border is hitting sanctuary cities across the u.s. especially hard. many are forced to make cuts ann public service budgets such as police and fire to make up for the cost of caring for those seeking asylum. dj summers adjoins as director policy research at commonsense institute that is tallied and dj good to see you. click cities are facing right now a serious cost it is not just what the city spends at the city level these costs will be outward and surrounding community outward into surrounding institutions. it is not just what happens at
9:37 am
the city level that is in these costs to care for the migrants at the form of uncompensated healthcare for our healthcare providers in the city it is in the form of education for all of these students the denver metro area school district have absorbed over the past 18 months at this situation has continued. we tallied up all of those costs and are looking at costs in the metro area north of three and $40 million that is for denver alone. >> that is for the denver metro area at denver metro school district. denver metro health care providers. estimates for uncompensated care and with the city of denver itself has spent. which to date is somewhere around $71 million. eric: let's take a look at the numbers and break them down a couple full screens to show you. denver, 42000 migrants arrived in the last year there you have
9:38 am
it that is the number three to 40 million. you delve it down deeper into the budget, take a look at this. denver is going to have to cut the fire department and the police department cutting cops by 8.4 million two and half million from the fire department what does that mean for the citizens who do not have police and fire protection because the city has to pay for the migrant care. >> really this is a perception problem as much as anything else. colorado and the denver metro area and denver specifically are facing some serious pr issues at the moment. there is the housing affordability issue that is an enormous problem here. there are already perceptions of es tied to the use of drugs in public spaces. homelessness numbers that have come out. a spike in crime that started in 2020 we have got all of these issues colorado is already kind of looking at as a pr blackeye.
9:39 am
we know are contributing in some way to declining net migration rates we are losing more people in colorado more people are moving out then used to move out in the last 10 years. we are talking about a city in a metro area that is faced with this problem at just exactly the wrong time. many of the resources devoted to all of those other issues to crime, to drug overdose, to a homelessness for the response from migrants uses some of the same resources. uses some of the same response at tactics and then some of the case some of the same nonprofits administer the programs for migrant response as administer the homeless response. so we are talking about air coming out of the same balloon for a myriad of problems from the denver metro area. list talk about denver let's look at new york city billions of dollars for new york last year 1.47 billion upwards of
9:40 am
$3 billion expected. and folks, weren't you live some other unexpected places in the end of the state of indiana says it spending $130 million in mississippi $25 million and migrants illinois been more than $638 million so far more than half a billion dollars i was going to go on? the lee into the workforce would become taxpaying citizens? when is it going to stop? >> the real question is workforce absorption. how long is it going to take for these people to be productive net economic contributors. and that is a slow going process. the city of denver has had a lot of rapid response to get those work authorizations happening right now. to get those people into the workforce. i think to date they have authorized a little less than 2000 of this community to be
9:41 am
into the workforce. so it is going to take a lot longer to get this whole 42000 come to the denver metro area. i assume it's going to take the same amount of time and all those other cities. >> emmanuel's costs in the tax payers. the tabs going up or dj summers on the commonsense institute. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me i was delighted. arthel: alright dj and eric. thank you many americans are struggling with the cost of owning a home so what can be done to help as continues to impact millions right here in the u.s. we will ask our expert. that is coming up next. here's to beating 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. ♪ i'm gonna hold you forever... ♪
