"we talked about, not about the things that separate us because we do not agree on everything. but on the values and the issues that bind us together. >> could rfk junior supported make the key difference for trump and battleground states where the race's neck and neck against vice president kamala

harris? we'll talk exclusively with kennedy at his first interview since his big announcement. plus, trump and harris a battle over two of the biggest issues for voters to break with everyday brings another story about innocent americans being tortured, raped, murdered and massacred by illegal aliens that kamala harris has set free in our country frequently does not fight for the middle class and said he fights for himself and his billionaire friends. shannon: we live this week u.s. economy added nearly 1 million fewer jobs than previously reported. wewill get reaction from democratic governor jared polis of colorado. the sunday panel is here to give us their take on the next phase for the race to the white house. all this week on "fox news sunday." ♪. shannon: hello from foxnews in washington. we begin in the middle east where the israeli defense force says 100 of its fighter jets hit more than 40 hezbollah strike

areas in its predawn today an extensive attack a u a plan byn backed hezbollah militants in lebanon but let's get to chief war correspondent trey yingst entelechy. >> good morning part overnight israel launched preemptive strikes against the lebanese militant group hezbollah buried the israeli military said hezbollah was prepared to launch hundreds of rockets and missiles toward its central in northern israel when the decision was made to strike first. a senior israeli defense official described the strikes as a precise and meant to remove imminent threats as large explosions rocked southern leaven of the adirondack group began attacking israel. siren sound as deep as 20 miles from the border as israel missile defense system work to intercept the incoming fire but we are learning more this morning about the preemptive strikes. the force of st. mark and wondered fighter jets took part in eliminated thousands of targets.

has since reopened. israelisrael's now entered a spl security situation in the last 48 hours. heigheightened tension along the northern border set to resume in cairo, egypt. working to work out the details of a possible agreement to end the war in gaza who just last saraceno is really defense official telling fox news they are hopeful about the possibility of a deal. shannon: trey yingst will check on with you later on in the our pre-thank you very much gerry me now lieutenant general keith at kellogg. what do you make what we have seen over the last 24 hours? some say it's bracketed some say it's a pushback on what could've happened to. >> thank you for having me. that is a great move. the preemptive strike is very, very important. it they launch hezbollah into his or thousands of missiles they are talking thousands. what would've happened with the loss of lives of israelis and the facilities? it would've pushed the israelis into a doctrine they.

its disproportionate response. i think what they did they prevented that next or the third is really lebanese war. that is smart. it's important they did it predicted it quite well with the tax will continue. i have to go back when you think about what has happened here is the united states is not played a major role. de-escalating because president biden is not done a lot and talking to tremont vice president has not done much and she stiffed a trend went when he came here in the joint session of congress when he spoke. you got blinken going over there with no cease-fire. and you've got the national security adviser jake sullivan heading to china instead of the middle east. i know the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff we've got to focus in on what is going to happen here and prevent something from happening into the future for they have not done it. the israelis have done it. they have done actually as recent deterrence in the region

and i think it is smart. and it put hezbollah on its back foot in its clue to put the iranians on the back but they have that anything else. shannon: we do have assets in the region we beefed up our presence this administrations it is or has a right to defend themselves will back them in that. but where do we go from here? you mention it's about the threat looming for my rounds they were going to take action with what we decide you've got hezbollah never mows going on in gaza israel stretched a lot of different directions. >> if it something like this it makes it hard to put back in the box to put it into sustainable and peace for the region. we said it's on both sides of the house wrong for the way you handle that you tell the entire region and you tell the world we are behind the israelis. there's a good site in a bad site and we need to do it. because we have not done that we have created a scene, a back gap and adversaries look for seams and gaps and they have basically done that they say okay we can

attack because united states is not going to come back hard. have to reset the fight is tell everybody in the region who we are for and who we are not for and we have not done that. it is going to take a bit to put it back in the box because it hezbollah is going to keep attacking printer brands would keep supporting the attackers and i think the hamas fight is virtually over. i think they solve that problem when the leader of hamas has said if we have a piece discussions m cease-fire i want to make sure i am not a target. no, you started that fight. you are at the risk right now. i think that fight is virtually over. and now they'll pivot cute hezbollah. shannon: are the cease-fire conditions will be coming in the coming days. let's get reaction to all this from the white house were with an fox news correspondent lucas tomlinson. hello lucas. >> hello shannon, fishel say national security advisor jake sullivan cap to president biden

updated throughout the night during the attack and lloyd austin president biden's defense secretary spoke to israeli counterpart offering continued support the two aircraft carrier strike groups now on station in the region here at home robert f kennedy jr. says this is not the democratic party of his uncle and father. >> it becomes a party of war, censorship, corruption, big pharma, big tech, big bag and big-money picker after endorsing donald trump for president, the dnc responded like rfk junior, donald trump is at a low point in acting out of desperation. embracing rfk junior now when he has nothing to offer but months of disqualifying revelations is not a decision a campaign makes when they're acting from a position of strength. president biden said the economy strong. that's a record 16 million new jobs for cliques turns out that's about 1 million jobs to

many. according to the bureau of labor statistics and a revised report that says there 818,000 fewer jobs than previously estimated. one number not in dispute, grocery prices up 20% since the biden and harris came into office. >> is he take any blame for that question are quick to know i think overwhelmingly what people are seeing is the united states and got through the recovery with greater drops, greater growth. the democrats gathered in chicago former president donald trump made another visit to the border. in the swing state of arizona flanked by members of the border patrol and families who have lost loved ones to illegal aliens including the mother of a 12-year-old girl strangled to death in houston. >> we had a borders are she loved the title but did not want to do the work. rfk junior also said the system was honest he would have won this election. shannon: lucas and thomas are

important for the white house thank you for joining us and now it's robert f kennedy jr. welcome to "fox news sunday." >> thank you for having me. what does it this way out of it you and president trump not always fans of each other he posted on social media earlier this year is one of the most liberal lunatics ever to run for office a phony radical left a fool whose poll numbers are terrible and getting worse. the new yorker said a couple of weeks ago this in a recent text exchange kennedy told one person trump was a terrible human being arethe worst president ever bary human he's probably a socio- path i have not read your text how to get from that position to friday night? >> it became clear to me i did not have a path to victory. sixteen months of censorship of not being able to get on any network except for fox. i had in fact, when ross perot ran in the 10 months that he ran

he had 34 appearances on the network. i had to appearance in 16 months. i was blocked out of the networks. network spirit is blocked out of the debate. i had no path to victory. president trump had been reaching out to me i talk to him a few hours after the assassination attempts and we had a long conversation by phone. i had to extensive meetings the broad issues that were most important to me which was ending the ukraine war, ending the censorship protecting children's health for all reforming our food supply all the things we need to do to make our children healthy again. those are all things and president trump also wanted to work on. he invited me too form a unity government. we agreed we would be able to continue to criticize each other on issues in which we don't

agree. but these issues are so important in ways if you don't unifying our country we need in this country to reach a point where we love our children more than we hate each other. shannon: that's a good unifying theme a lot people can get around. it's how we get there is the devil is in the details but have you alt negotiated over or talked about a cabinet position at another position within a trump government in exchange for your endorsement? >> no. there's been no commitments. i met with president trump, with his family, with his closest advisors and we just made a general commitment that we are going to work together. shannon: what about the states where you are trying to get off of a number of swing state ballots to sam gwen sent a number of state ballots but in the swing states and by to try to throw myself and ask my supporters are telling them think about supporting president trump that you've negotiate over it which states he would try to withdraw from?

>> we all knew which states they were there's basically 10 swing states were my presence in the race would have helped vice president harris and would have harmed president trump. i'm going to get off the belt in those states. we are going to stay on the belt in 30and 30 states and i am encouraging people to vote for me and those states. those are states where they are either already are all blue states where there wrote votes are not going to change the outcome of the race. in the states where i would have been a spoiler i'm going to get out. that is about 10 states. shannon: there were reports a couple weeks ago side to get official from your camp and also a democratic official saying their vent outreach to the harris camp as well to possibly discuss you working within the harris administration in exchange for an endorsement of her. is that true? aand what happened with that? >> i reach out to them on the

same basis i was at the president trump but we actually talked to other presidential candidates including chase all over the libertarian party to figure out ways we get and the polarization and hatred and the vitriol and start talking about issues. i was welcome to listen to anything from the democrats that they were going to do something about a war about the ukraine war about the censorship about the child health crisis this epidemic of chronic disease that has disabled about 60% of our kids. when my uncle was a president only 6% of americans had chronic disease. today over 60% hits hard to find a kid today that is not damaged by it. it's coming from our food su supply. and from pollution in our

environment. from toxics in our environment and mainly from corruption and our government that allows that to happen. >> you have talked about or there's been discussion that if you were to join the trump administration some health related position you have a real interested in dismantling things like the fda, the cdc, nih. you like to see focus away from infectious diseases to what you are talking about more chronic diseases is it fair to say he would try to dismantle some those organizations? >> you know. i would not dismantle them i would change the focus in and and endthe corruption. right now, 75% of the fda budget is coming from pharmaceutical companies. that's a perverse incentive. scientists and officials in nih work on drug development to the pharmaceutical company get to collect lifetime royalties on those products. these art regulators are supposed to be looking for problems in the proposed products.

we have agencies that a piquant sock puppets for the agencies or she was to regulate per there's not really interested in public health. the most profitable thing today in america is a sick child. everyone is making money the hospitals are making money. pharmaceuticals are making money even the insurance companies make money. we need to and those perverse incentives we need to get the corruption out of fda, nih and cdc and make them function as they are supposed to function which is to protect public health and particularly children's health. could you and nicole shanahan your running mate talk about how you feel the democrats completely mistreated you and exclude you from the prop process. how much is about revenge or motivated by punishing democrats in some way? >> zero. i don't ask anything in my life i don't act out of anger or revenge or resentment.

it's a bad motivation it's swallowing poison hoping someone else will die i don't do it. i am very pragmatic and practical. i am focused on one thing which is how we restore health for our children that touches many, many other issues how to greet regeneron our soil in this country? how do we protect small family farmers? the incentives is are going to commodity agriculture and that is what's feeding this chronic disease epidemic. the processed foods and created by commodity agriculture. we need to do all of these things at once. it takes all former farmers to our soils and get the corruption out of the federal government and make these agencies do what they were created to do. which is to protect our health and not serve the interest of the pharmaceutical countries in the pharmaceutical. >> this is not without personal

cost you your own family went to the white house on st. patrick's day took a huge picture with the president bided it. make clear they were supported by friday night your siblings issued the statement we believe and harris and walser. our brother bobby to endorse trump is a betrayal to our father and family hold most dear but you posted on next friday night saying you're grateful to your amazing wife because the decision you have made us when she is uncomfortable with. talk to us about the personal backlash you have to deal with. >> my family is at the center of the democrat party. five members of my family are working for the biden administration. president biden has a bust of my father behind him at the oval office. he has been a family friend for many, many years. i understand they are troubled by my decisions. i love my family. i feel like we were raised where we were encouraged to debate

each other and debate ferociously and passionately about things but still to love each other. they are free to take their positions on these issues by their many, many members of my family who are working and my campaign. who are supporting me. i have a very big family there are a few of them who are troubled. but i think we all need to be able to disagree with each other and so love each other. shannon: wall street journal has this they say that double edge sword essentially. it may help president trump to pick up some of your followers if they are willing to go over there but they were and what you would do in his administration but they said this rfk junior abusing or near the healthcare or environmental agencies in a trump administration look out mr. trump the best response is to thank rfk junior for his support but make no promises about the future and by all means avoid joint campaign appearances you've already had one but you have others? >> i will be campaigning

actively. president trump is going to make a series of announcements of other democrats that are joining his campaign. i want to make america healthy again and so so does president trump. those are objectives. the wall street journal may be worried about shareholder value for pharmaceutical companies and i talk specifically president trump about that issue and he said he wanted to leave as his legacy healthy children. and he was unconcerned about the other implications. shannon: art robert f kennedy jr. thank you for your time will see on the campaign trail for. >> thank you so much for having me. shannon: up next to come take center stage in the white house the u.s. created nearly 1 million fewer jobs than

for the campaign and some it's a great concern about the housing market. governor, great to have you back. >> good to be back. shannon: also if the proposal there was some skepticism across the board how it would work and get paid for here is kevin o'leary shark tank fame business investor, here is his take. >> there are bad ideas, bad bad ideas and really bad ideas. that falls into this category. when you give $25000 to anybody in a constrained market you cause inflation. there's three houses for sale on the street everyone bidding on it gets another 25000, all of that attribute to the seller you cause the price of the house to go up because there is no supply. >> knowing this is an issue you have worked desperately on to try to get these things under control what you make of the criticism of this plan? >> if that was her entire housing plan some of that would be valid. some of the opponents but the key piece of kamala harris

housing plan as removing barriers and red tape and regulations that prevent housing for being built. effectively streamlining the process of building homes for allowing the quantity of homes to increase, especially the kinds of certain homeless people can afford 200 or 300,000. that's the bulk of her plan. the 25000 if it is a way to move renters into owners that is a good thing but we live in an ownership society. the monthly check go every month to rent if they have a mortgage and build equity. it is under detail housing plan increasing the quantity of housing. the goal excuse me 3 million new homes in four years. the "washington post" says this. to make it much easier for

builders to build they go on to say actually getting local governments to expedite reviews is as much a management problem as a legal what her administration cannot micromanage every county seat and town hall. you alluded to that problem. >> yes we have similar issues in colorado getting rid of local red tape to get things built. we welcome the help of the federal government most americans looking for housing affordability they don't care if it's their mayor, governor or president that does it they just want it done president kamala harris is speaking to that. how we can effectively tie in a wide variety of federal incentives to these kinds of land use and zoning reforms that effectively reduce red tape reduce the size of local government make it easier to build homes that is what is going to leave lead to affordable homes. >> we have talked to the denver mayor and others they're part of the issue is the influx of a lot of new people showing up for the daily caller says this u.s. currently has an estimated shortage of 4 million --

7 million housing units aggravating the current shortage of supply in the market at a rate the developers can't keep up with. under this administration we have had millions of new people come to this country and in a way that is unregulated. it does not follow our laws and is impacting housing markets is that part of the problem in colorado and beyond? >> look there is no doubt we'd be in a better place of a former president trump had not torpedoed the bipartisan border security plan that would have finally locked down the border. shannon: that comes through and half years into this administration but you were peeling executive orders and doing all kinds of things that leadled us to these historically high numbers. >> look, democrats in support of border security for decades i supported it in congress sponsored bills to do it. again we cannot let politics stand in the live solving this. while again there might be blame on both sides the most recent attempt to fix it was clearly torpedoed by former president trump and that a spy we have a

chaotic border today. very clear that is the matter. shannon: of course you know there are number of centers we've had on the show and beyond to say they were not going to vote for that bill regardless of whether present a trip like that are not federal concerns with that in the house and the senate. >> the key question to ask them then is what mms would you like to make to improve it question make any idea. shannon: they will say they are not allowed to make amendments. >> then that is their problem. that is what they are there for. we went ideas from the left and the right. but the key thing is support it will be locked down today if not for president trump thwarting the effort preventing that effort. shannon: wait, wait conway's fair to say that bill was not going to lock on the whole border. in all honesty. that bipartisan plan was not going to a completely stem the tide of what's happening at the border. >> it would've cut it by at least two thirds. but there's a way to get one 100% i am sure president harris can deliver on that when she has the opportunity this is someone who fought crime she's a prosecutor she put criminals behind the bar she knows how to keep people safe and that is

exactly what we need here. you mention the dimension connecting to housing but of course it is a small part of it. housing costs have gone up in colorado long before the recent influx here. the average home price the denver metro area $600,000. why customer gets a great place to live but was a cost that much? we have artificially constrained the ability to build housing because of government interference probity to remove the government interference, allow the housing to be built and that's what vice president harris plan is all about. shannon: let's talk about that we would like to see more from her. we are all waiting for a sitdown interview, a press conference public board to the debate on september 10 would love to host additional ones. but in the meantime we are left to guess where she is on a number of things where it appears she has change positions on fracking in the green new deal. gun buybacks, mandatory buybacks we get a chuckle from people within her campaign which off the record are giving us guidance about where she is now. is it time for her to sit down,

give us more information put a policy primer on her website? >> i'm sure she will be doing a lot more interviews in the future. course the debate is going to be very exciting she started taking questions in a number of different venues as she is moving in and out. but of course the truth of the matter is yes she has come to the middle part she is pragmatic. she is a tough leader and the leader of a need for the future bread while she may have in the past ran on things just as a president trump supported single-payer health care years ago was moved away from it kamala harris did support think she is a moderated she's going for a president for the american people where they are conservative, moderate, liberal, is the a lot of your part is reflected in president harris who is really just out for the people as she said. fighting to make housing more affordable put improve our schools make education more affordable and strengthen the jobs market. shannon: speaking of the jobs market without the downgrade in the year ending march 2024. 800,000 jobs. that did not actually happen.

there's been eight revision there the ceo of job creators network says this. the fuller view of the jobs market nullifies a years worth of exaggerated headlines that helped present a false picture at the economic strength but it may in the polling the administration will say things are getting better they are moving in the right direction. that's not the reality they're paying 20 -- 30% more for household items are generally 2021. does vice president harris plan to break with the by demonstration policies? >> right now and nationally we have about one point to unemployed i'm sorry one point to job openings for every unemployed people there are more job openings in unemployed people. that does not mean there's not a skills gap. meanings of the unemployed people while there are jobs might need additional training. three weeks, six weeks, whatever it is.

i don't vice president harris has been a big fan of making sure people have access to the training they need to get the good jobs that are out there today. i'm also excited of course by kamala harris middle-class tax cut putting more money back in the hands of middle class families, increasing their buying power for a very strong contrast to former president trump turf tax plan that would increase the cost of household items by 10 -- 20%. shannon: we will wait to hear from both of them because we need details on both of those things these claims about the tariff situation also economic plans of vice president boo-booy will forward to more details and appreciate you in the meantime governor being with us. >> thank you, take care. 2024 showdown harris and trump both back on the campaign trail as it makes stops and crucial in crucialbattleground states tl likely determine the outcome of the entire election put our panels are to break it down the camping gear up for the first trump/harris debate showdown, next. here's to getting better with age.

when we win this november we will end the kamala harris border nightmare once and for all. shannon: buys a president entertaining except in the vice president of nomination former president donald trump took his

campaign to the border. i designed for sunday group, francesca chambers usa today white house correspondent. federalist editor-in-chief and fox news contributor mollie hemmingway. orchard pilot fox news contributor forbes contributed writer. and former george rb rush national security official michael allen. welcome everybody everybody made it back from the dnc. we all still need naps. let's talk that what happening that there's a lot of messaging. very much the vice president is the challenger donald trump is the incompetence were the vibes we got we also have this from the hill, democrats tried to take pag patriotism back in the. the u.s. aid camo american flag had filled the convention in chicago had been vice president harris wrapped up her speech a balloon drop of red, white and blue was no thousands of giant american flags. francesca, i was there and they had this very organized group that would take of the signs and flags wherever they were going to be for that particular night. they had i would say thousands

of flags in there. was this a purposeful shift in semi? were told the american flag is a symbol of not so positive things are. as i do think they focus on the theme of patriotism to your point and people commented on the camo hats as well. with regard to her speech itself if there were three main goals for the vice president that night. part unity, reintroduce or stop the voters and do no harm but i say do no harm because if you pay attention to what schachter said her speech, not a lot in there the independents the swing voters could be upset about. when you look at the other thing she was saying in the speech in terms of the progressive policies most of that was been done by the people who were speaking before her. they focus a lot on the anti- trump republicans as well. so was her speech are profound in some ways question i did not hear that from democrats but i will let richard speak to that. she certainly met the bar they

were trying to set that evening. shannon: but richard, not a lot of substance at a lot of times we do not get that we get broad things, things that are hopeful made people feel good to see my new should people need to know about before they vote. >> i think francesca's right when it comes in three principles i harris camping wanted to get across. i think also this happens at a moment where this convention were happening in june or july you probably would not have seen part unity. you probably would've seen more cease-fire protests. we were talking about a couple weeks of this truancy chaos in chicago the chaos did not result in any real form or fashion. there were dozens outside but no organized. i heard shouts of free palestine but nothing organized. >> it has a lot to with the work of the mayor brandon johnson room. it also has to do with vice president kamala harris really uniting this party and a new and invigorating way. number fundraising over half a billion dollars raised.

to her and thousand shifts people are signing up for today. speaks to the back she's organized party united the party 776 on the selection have united democratic party he pretty much have united republican party the party thequestion now becomes of them hello can turn out their base and talk to independent voters and voters are likely to not vote in this election to get them out to vote without swing on a couple weeks in some states. >> a couple reasons why democrats are trying push the message of unity the first one is pretty obvious they just ousted the president of the niceties in the ticket and replace them from someone who had not won a single electoral vote from any democrat. it's important to pretend that did not take place to pretend there is unity. the first guest on your program rfk junior lifelong democrat from a really important democrat family shows that unity is quite overblown. but the bigger problem for kamala harris as she is the incumbent vice president and the failed presidential administration for that is a big take away i took from this convention was how much they

were trying to make this a referendum on donald trump for their two problems with that again one, she is the incumbent of what is going on right now. she has these idea she claims she has she's had three and half years to implement them for the other problem is the trump presidency was a very successful a lot of americans view it far more favorably now than they did even when they're finishing it and gave buying a chance. >> the trump himself are actually very negative and i think that is why you seek kamala harris having a bump in the polls she currently has. shannon: the policies when you ask people about how you're doing financially, we have recent polling on this to the trump e air pulse is better for you and your family? was like two -- one many of them said was actually negative for them the biden/harris policies that hurt their families. is it really still just about the economy? what is not just about the economy. all the issues we know president trump has an advantage on paper all of you are correct this was a second switch up for the first

switch was let's put in kamala harris for joe biden. idella switched out who the incumbent is. i think president trump needs a bella put her on the defensive and very, very soon. the good news is she has not done anything amazing yet. bear with me for a second period she is riding a wave of relief it's not joe biden at the top of the ticket. she brought home soft democrats. she performed with a teleprompter. she did find she did not make any mistakes. but the hard part starts now for she's got to be able to demonstrate she has political dexterity and agility and a give-and-take campaign environment and i don't think she's done that yet. that is what we need to look forward to starting this week. shannon: debate prep is underway per one of the trump team is using former congresswoman who really sparred with then senator harris when they were on the debate stage seattle see how that works. i want to bring this up this

note the more he said more federal ban also this week talking about the comstock act will not use federal action to block abortion pills going to the mail. their minutes in the pro-life community started a little frustrated with him. politico quotes tony perkins of the family research council thing this it is not a pro-life position is not acceptable position and it does not provide the contrast on this issue to the degree we had in the path between him and kamala harris. president trump is doing is suppressing his own support. molly is not necessary pro-lifers will vote for vice president harris but do they stay home? lex yes pro-lifers are very pleased with president trump or how he ran his first administration. they are very grateful for what he give judges and other issues there is no question that kamala harris the only policy talked about on stage at the democratic inventors abortion are all nine months of pregnancy up until the moment of birth. not a single protection for any

child the amount of the circumstances. that is a strong contrast president trump should understand his the space of sups include these people who care about violence in the womb i want to protect children and their mothers. he should be mindful of how much help you get to most people and not discourage them. shannon: richard i see you shaking your head and were almost at a time attempt democrats articulate anything short of what molly said. >> a couple points i really agree with mr. perkins by do a group in here. i do think in terms of pigment to get independence he's losing voters. republicans continue to make this argument the abortion after birth. shannon: up to just to be clear we just had jared polis out up already signed amends or as tim walster to minn minnesota's alld abortion any time during pregnancy. >> those are very, very, very rare cases in a case where mother gets in a car accident life of the mother the life of the baby. those doctors make them very rare cases the idea these are happening every single day in hospitals across america is a

total misnomer. shannon: i will tightly group bliss not conservatives of this thousands of these in here. shannon: thousand when there's 300 americans -- the protection of children. an elaborate poll after poll after poll and ballot issue after ballot issue after ballot issue is the american people set on the side of a woman and her doctor making the best decision for them over the government making that decision. shannon: are number of the thinking critical states will seal that plays out because they're on a lot of ballot initiatives in the fall. do not go anywhere. we've got this multiple secret service agents are now on leave following the assassination attempt on former president trump last month for a table assesassess a new revelation swe two events on monday and getting more information on exactly how this happened, next.

>> the fbi and the secret service are moving at a snail's pace. they're acting like this is a one-time incident that we can take our time to really unpack it. no, these subplots are happening right now as we speak. we have a foreign enemy trying to kill our former president. we need to be releasing information as we get it and they moved need to move a lot faster my view protects congressmen on fox and friends yesterday pushing for a swifter more transparent probe into the attempted assassination of former president trump. 5a secret service nurse and put on leave following the incident that left trump wounded couric dead into others is seriously injured were back in with our panel. while you were fired up during the commercial break progress what happened with president trump really being assassinated with dramatic not just for him and his family, but the entire country we came within centimeters of a horrific situation. you had again rfk junior onto

the top of the art we also would happen with his father and uncle. seeing that on live television is traumatic for people. a washington d.c. the permanent d.c. apparatus is not that interested in what happened even as normal americans are horrified by it at her office to the fbi secret service cannot investigate themselves and their own failings in this matter. but congress needs to do more. that media need to do far more be far more interested in the situation in the political climate that leads to these type of situations. shannon: a couple things have service senator hawley has yet another w with the voice of the scum a letter to the acting director of the secret servicing vessel whistleblower with knowledge of the planning of the whole thing alleges officials at secret service headquarters and current encourage agents in charge of the trip not to request any additional security assets in its formal manpower request effectively denying these assets through informal means. goes on to write a row had told him no security assets have been denied.

so he said he needs and explanation something is in conflict for parts of the american people deserve an explanation for this but if you look would have at a former president trump it is heartbreaking versus what happened to the last time we see in the assassination attack was rattled right in the 80s the contrast cannot be starker i say that in the world in which the heroic picture many of celebrated did not happen or the reagan assassination because the secret service moves swoop as it ronald reagan out of it there is not time for a photo. in this scene but we saw three weeks ago three or four maybe five or six different photos taken that should not have been allowed in the world are trying to get a protective to a safe zone when there's an active shooter. there's a lot of questions that should be asked. i agree with molly this is very disgusting congress should move up after the secret service to move a lot faster to get the american people the answers they deserve this is an utter failure. shannon: congressman higgins was a little when he found the secret service did not receive a radius him and set aside by butler county tactical command even though they had been

reminded to do so by butler county tactical command the day before in the morning of the shooting according to higgins will have the bipartisan group from the house visit butler tomorrow. there's another form happening with other members of congress you can't hold a hearing but something else to say they're running in parallel. but hard to get anything done here in washington. >> right it is an election year. right now congress is out they've been out for several weeks out they will be back in september. it is also an appropriations process and that is just to your point like what's happening in this town heading into the november election the present of the nine states has said he wants to see a thorough and transparent investigation because to richard's point he believes the american people need to know what happened here so it certainly all of our eyes will be on this. shannon: this morning will woke up to if you were not up late last night to the news on the international stage, michael that hezbollah and israel were

trading f fired that hundred of their jets flew over hezbollah targeted what they had been told was a preparation for some 6000 potential missiles coming their way. >> that is right. israel of course making a preemptive strike in part to take out this hezbollah capability. imagine here in the ice age of 10% of our territory were inaccessible because one of our neighbors was able to arrange it with rockets or missiles, israel cannot live forever they honestly cannot live another year with hezbollah able to attack their territory. this is why netanyahu said will happen last night is just the beginning of the end. i expect the regional situation to possibly escalate as israel feels like they need to go more into lebanon to push hezbollah back up. by the way this is the right way to do it the way we put al qaeda back on their heels was a keep a boot on their throat all think

israel knows that is the best solution for them moving forward. shannon: how wordy about the escalation you talk about? around is warning we are still going to unleash our retribution on israel for the hamas leader taken out. there's a lot of threat flying back and forth here. >> i'm still concerned why ronald tried to do something beyond what they already do every day. which is active through their proxies. i believe they feel like they look weak because israel was able to target one of their top terrorist proxies in their guest guesthouse for their administration. i feel like they need to do that to show their toughness. they want to restore deterrence also. i think iran is to try to figure out a couple different things. how do we get through and not embarrass ourselves with missiles and drones? but not get there in such a way that israel wants to come back and attack us. they do not want a total war because they would lose and so they have to walk this line it is very tight. shannon: at the like what they

did in april, i think it was, they did a lot of high ron was able to say we did unleash on them. there's a weird choreography th seems to happen sometimes. in the meantime i want to put up a look at some assets we have in the region. francesca this is cool as of the white house has got to do with what you make of the criticism was a general kellogg's thing essentially this administration is not handled this well. >> the president continues to po get updates on this he sent brown to the raising of a cover just for a second talk about the cease-fire and hostage negotiations as well that are taken place in the region right now you have the president who called netanyahu on wednesday to try to press him on the finer points. we have not seen inside those negotiations and they keep saying they are getting closer, we do not know that we have not seen that fence with the white house has been the key pepe1 back-and-forth between hamas and andthat can sometimes takes days

of. shannon: having peace talks in the middle of a new incursion and iran threat still there sort of competent things panel thank you very much we'll see you next sunday. we are going to take it back to israel next update on the major israeli strikes against hezbollah the return all of that with trey yingst and next too.

....

>> i want to take you back to israel. preemptive attack on iran backed hezbollah militants. fox news chief correspondent joins us. >> k shannon. good morning. we gather the latest information from the ground. i have spoke with top defense officials here in tel aviv. they say right now it is the status quo unfolding. officials do not believe there will be a large attack from hezbollah following the preemptive strike that took place overnight. they do remain on high alert overnight in this country. we continue to look back at this war that unfolded for the past 326 days. we have some new reporting for you for my upcoming book black saturday that is out on october 1. we learned as part of our reporting for the book that the
