♪ >> i saw the comments the prime minister made yesterday and i saw the statement his office put out, clarifying that they wanted to secure the release of all hostages and i saw the further statement the prime minister said today where he made clear he supports the proposal that israel put on the table and the president laid out. so i will just say i think all of us that speak publicly at
3:20 pm
times make mistakes and misspeak and when we do so we have on gable toition come clarify and i'm glad we did. >> bret: state department tried to interpret some confusion after prime minister of benjamin netanyahu israel reaction to a u.s.-backed cease-fire proposal that comes to israel and hamas. let's bring in fox news chief political analyst brit hume. brit, good evening. reading through the tea leaves there, i think state department wanted to believe one thing, it doesn't seem like that much has changed from netanyahu's original decision on all of this. >> yeah, i agree with you, bret. i don't think much has changed at all. netanyahu is in a situation where he has two goals, not always entirely compatible. one of them obviously is he wants to finish the job of defeating hamas militarily and he hopes as a political force as well and the second object, of course, this is on something is he under tremendous domestic pressure about is to get the hostages out. so he is willing to go along
3:21 pm
with cease-fire proposals that entail the release of hostages but is he not prepared to say is he going to go along with a permanent cease-fire leave hamas in place and extent it can be and empower in gaza. let us also bear in mind, bret, when this mid i don't say attack on october 7th occurred there was supposedly a cease-fire in place which hamas roundly broke and also, there is this: there have been, what 8 cease-fire proposals bandied about in recent weeks, and hamas has not accepted one of them. so, i don't know what the to do about israel. what's the point in making cease-fire proposals or blaming israel for their failure which when hamas has not accepted any of them. >> bret: right, still hostages there, americans as well. we don't know how many of them are still alive and we haven't seen much evidence that there is movement. >> not on that front. and, of course, the biden likes to talk about israel and cease
3:22 pm
fires, it never says anything that we can hear about the american hostages nor has it said anything about what it is doing or trying to do to get them out. so, i think that is where we are. but, i think pressure on israel why the administration is something useful for ghenks political reasons because some people in the democratic party do not support israel. >> bret: speaking of which l.a. synagogue beating as someone it appeared swore worshipers trying to go senegal and gets beaten outside of a los angeles synagogue. we have seen incidents in new york and other incidents of anti-semitism pure and simple, and it is striking, still, as we have seen these protests and these incidents increase. >> bret: you and i, bret, have talked about visible anti-semitism in the united states since almost from octobe.
3:23 pm
and i think we have both been kind of stunned by it and i continue to be. i mean, there is no way that you can say that that episode outside that synagogue in l.a. over the weekend had anything to do with, you know, anti-zionism. i mean, that was plain -- you are blocking somebody from going into worship and then beating them up on the street. that isn't anti-zionism. that's anti anti anti-semitism. the effect it is going to be if the administration does not appear and the president did issue a very strong statement about this if this administration and the democratic party do not appear to be stronger on the issue of anti-semitism than they have been so far. i have to think there will be political consequences for them in the fall. >> bret: be fascinating to sees a always, brit, thank you. up next x rated tirade from the

communications director doug heye. obviously democrats really see fertile ground here politically. do republicans have a pushback that deals with this issue that is effective so far? >> so far, no. it's interesting to see what donald trump is doing. donald trump is trying to do something he doesn't do often be nuanced. he gets this has been a loser for republicans. trump is usually blunt force trauma all the time e has seen what happened in midterm elections and what is happening in state. the problem for republicans we can't define this as a party in washington, d.c. we see legislators lentil lating out loud, arizona puts a restrictive law in or south carolina. that defines it nationally and makes it harder for republicans to campaign on this. this is where democrats see opportunity. >> bret: 21 states, julia have had serious restrictions off banning of abortion since the overturning of roe v. wade. and the question is how big an issue does that becomes a we
3:45 pm
head to november? >> look, we saw, obviously, democrats after the dobbs decision in 2022, really seize on this with the threat of these bans and these various states. and it worked at the state level, and it worked in statewide races in 2022. the problem though is i think this issue for democrats, potentially, could be coming a bit stale. these why you see them continue to push it out front and center. you know a few weeks ago after the mifepristone ruling from the supreme court. there was this fear that democratic voters or voters who might be leaning democrat on the abortion issue could become apathetic and i think that's why you saw the vice president come out and label this the trump they don't want the economy or the border to eclipse this. so they are zeroing in on it. >> bret: obviously this week we have the debate thursday. >> we do? >> bret: i think we do. >> bret: seen right here on fox. simulcast it will be fascinating
3:46 pm
to see 90 minutes of these two together. president biden is going to use this issue at least in one of those exchanges whether it's from a question from cnn or on his own. >> absolutely. that's one of the things that sources from the white house have been telling our reporters this week one of the i that he is really beefing up on while he is hold up at camp david, something he has taken flack from a lot of critics they are accusing him of staying home, going back in the bunker as he is approaching big moment rather than getting out there. i will say if i was going to be in the presidential debate three days from now i would be at home studying too. there is not necessarily a problem with that i would also point out to folks that the biden campaign is not, you know, in the bunks err right now. they are hosting 200 events this week in georgia ahead of this thing on thursday. they are trying to get the message out there even if the president himself is not the face of it. >> bret, there is a reason that they're emphasizing this issue democrats are and biden
3:47 pm
certainly will. they are on offense here but everywhere else they are on defense. if you look at polling on issue after issue. obviously the border and prices and what things cost 1 and 2. biden is under water in all of those. is he in quick sand everywhere else. >> bret: president trump asking supporters what he should do and how he should act in the debate. >> how should i handle him? should i be tough and nasty? >> yes. >> or should i be -- should i -- she says no. >> should i be tough and nasty and say you are the worst president in history or should i be nice and calm and let him speak? >> bret: so the latest polling for who is going to win, you know, you have got this 50-45 over biden. expectations game is fascinating to watch in these days ahead of thursday, july yanchts yes. it's been interesting to see a lot of trump surrogates including doug burgum come out and say biden is actually very much on his game.
3:48 pm
he could very much rise to the occasion. i would say that doug burgum is right. going back to the state of the union, biden very much rose to that occasion. i would say it was a good night for the president. a good night for democrats some of the what donald trump needs to be not doing repeat of first debate 2020 and came in way too hot and on the offense. he needs to stick to policy as much as he can whether he will do that? who knows. >> bret: trump folks critical of the moderators particularly jake tapper. what they said about the former president. their spokesperson went on cnn today and got cut off. >> take seven five minutes to google jake tapper and donald trump. >> ma'am, we are going to stop this interview if you are going to keep attacking my colleague. ma'am, i'm going to stop this interview if you continue to attack my colleagues. i. >> i would like to talk about donald trump how work for. if you are here to speak on his

behalf i would love to have this conversation. >> i am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past. >> i'm sorry, guys. she is welcome to come back and speak about donald trump. >> bret: she did not come back. at least today. it was an awkward moment. cnn put out a statement defending jake tapper and dana barb ahead of this moderating job. they will be in the focus of a lot of attention as well. >> absolutely. it's odd to me that maybe this anchor was not entirely prepared to go down. >> these are standard trump campaign talking points. it's not as if she proposed something that blew everybody's minds we hadn't heard of before. this is what owe himself says over and over every single day he believes cnn is biased. >> bret: he took the debate. they agreed to the debate and moderators. >> i talked to casey hunt earlier today.
3:50 pm
she is a good friend. i know if i came on the show and gave out all the things i find objectionable about shannon bream there is zero by the way. >> bret: evil san none bream? >> you wouldn't put up with that. casey was right to defend her colleagues. that's what you should do. defend your colleagues. tough time on your hand when you get campaign surrogates on your show. that happens everywhere. stand up for your colleague. that's formal. >> bret: she could have moved on and come back to a different topic. i get it, one last thing, fundraising, the fund raising in may for the trump campaign pretty strong. i mean, if you look at the numbers, they have closed the gap and surpassed the biden campaign in may, specifically. >> yeah. and what happened that month also was the i guilty verdict. in terms of fundraising it's helped the campaign. lead up to this verdict during the trial there was so much chatter about how trump was going to be able to afford all his legal bills and fund raise and run for president and such.
3:51 pm
at least on the fundraising part is he very much closing the gap with biden which is obviously very important. >> bret: up next, look at some of the big house races coming up and then the world's ugliest dog. are we giving it away? there he is? oh, the tongue. ♪ (bell ringing) someone needs to customize and save hundreds with liberty mutual!

criticism lobsd at me by my opponent but i don't think i get a right to lose my temper. i don't think i get the right to curse in public. >> bret: okay. spectrum news new york 1 record breaking ad spending in new york 16. that's that race we are talking about the primary. this is tomorrow. so far 24 million has been spent on ads including tv radio, satellite and digital in new york 16 district primary outpaces 18 million spent in the 2022 contest and oregon's sixth district which now ranks second. back with the panel. i will tell you, julia, this is hot and heavy but the latest poll shows lattimer leading big. >> yeah, absolutely. i think if you zoom out, this sort of takes us back to 2016 in a way and how it's a bit of a
3:57 pm
proxy battle. you have hillary clinton endorsed george latimer and bernie sanders endorsed jamaal bowman this is a battle between progressives and more moderate democrats playing out in this district with the israel-gaza war at the center of it. so, i think going forward, i mean, jamaal bowman is in quite a bit of trouble though. >> when they are out raises funds. a.o.c. went out there this weekend, that doesn't help the biden campaign especially on the issue of israel. >> no, not at all. this is the real split democrats have on this issue. and puts biden in a very tough spot. look at say, dearborn issue in began disproportionately high muslim representation in that community, and if biden goes too far to help them. he jewish voters, caught in a tight spot. montage you showed sort of like donald trump's speech the other night. which one do you want me to be? do you want me to be in nice guy
3:58 pm
focuses on issue or bombat stick guy. this is what the democratic voters in new york. >> bret: i will say a.o.c., congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez was very critical of donald trump, the former president showing up in the bronx saying all these people were from other places alleging all kinds of things. he got thousands and thousands of people to show up and only 300 at that event this weekend. >> i think at most i saw photos on stage. some of them looked like maybe 50 people in that crowd as the to the behavior, the best thing to say is you do you congressional generation. if you want to wear basketball shorts and hoodie on the senate floor fine. if you want to get on the stage and act like a rage rapper at a rally, that's fine, but the context here is important while

it is going on cuttersing out aipac a jewish rights organization. and jews being attacked in overseas in russia. jews being killed while they were worshiping inside a synagogue. anti-semitism up 400 percent sinceth. you might want to tone it down. >> bret: balance of power in the house look at it 218, it really have on a razor's edge on the house and senate control of both chambers, doug and obviously the presidency. >> it's going to go the way of the presidency. what you highlighted there, i don't think it's getting enough attention. donald trump is campaigning in very strong democratic yaris, philadelphia, richmond, the bronx, is joe biden going to go ruby red districts and rural areas? he needs to. >> bret: yeah. panel, thanks. appreciate it. >> bret: finally tonight, a special day.
