video caught what police describe as a gang assault on that jewish man. this afternoon a 23-year-old was charged with five counts including assault as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon. a few blocks away the city's predominantly jewish diamond district, commercial grade explosives were set off causing one person there to be injured. there were more than two dozen arrests, five nypd officers were injured. demonstrators on both sides spoke out. >> i love peace, you know, i'm hoping for peace. we'll see how it goes. really, really -- >> [inaudible] our land. that's not going to solve anything. >> reporter: in addition to a series of anti-semitic incidents here in new york, other violent episodes have been reported across the country including in los angeles. diners at a restaurant there were confronted by a group carrying a palestinian flag.

in another incident, a jewish man said he was almost run over by two cars waving the palestinian flag. the anti-defamation league says in the week following the gaza violence, the number of anti-semitic attacks in the united states increased by nearly 50%. david. david: david lee miller in times square, thank you very much. joining me now is john hannah, former national security adviser to vice president cheney. john, good to see you. it's not just the coasts where this is happening, not just new york and l.a. it's happening in illinois, in utah, in florida, in arizona. i'm just wondering if there is some blame to be put towards the radical left inside the beltway that have been saying very incendiary comments about israel? >> well, listen, david, i think this pandemic of anti-semitism is finding a home in both ends of the political spectrum.

but i do think you're right that in terms of the democratic party, there is a rising chorus of anti-israel voices. it's really a degree of jew hatred kind of dressed up as anti-israel activity. and i think that puts a premium on president biden really coming out strongly and condemning this kind of violence, anti-semitism and intimidation. we can have lots of arguments about middle east policy and what's the right path for the united states to follow, but there cannot be any quarter in any political party in the united states for this kind of blatant anti-semitism and jew hatred. david: i want to bring out some good news. it's not all bad news. there are some progressives who are actually pushing back against the radical squad as they're called. a congressman named ritchie torres -- richie torres spoke out about this. let me get your reaction, go

ahead. >> the rapid-fire rhetoric that we have seen directed at israel is so hyperbolic, so vitriolic that it enflames rather than informs. it delegitimizes israel rather than deescalates the israeli very pal stint the january -- israeli/palestinian conflict. david: and that man is a progressive. it's a pretty strong rebuttal to the squad, is it not? >> it is. congressman torres has been a profile in courage on this issue. and as you say, david, he is in the heart of the progressive wing of the democratic party. david: right. >> but you also have to say that right now he is a very, very lonely voice including not getting sufficient cover from the president of the united states who is as pro-israel a person in the democratic party as you can be. his history is always supporting israel, very strong in the

jewish community. we need to hear president biden's voice on this. david: by the way, the president is expected to speak in this hour. he's meeting with the south korean president. he may be mentioning the mideast. if he does, we will take those remarks. but one thing that happened over the past 3-4 years was remarkable progress towards peace in the middle east. these abraham accords were spectacular between israel and a lot of arab nations that have historically been the enemy of israel. and it was kind of revealed, the tree -- the degree of corruption as well as violence by hamas and the palestinian authority. we defunded the palestinian authority which used to be the plo to a certain extent. the biden administration has turned that back on. might the biden administration rethink that policy of refunding the palestinian authority after this? >> well, i don't see any sign of it, david. i do think that, i mean, thank god this violence or this latest

go-round in gaza is over. hopefully the israel defense forces imposed enough sufficient damage on hamas that it'll think a hundred times before launching this kind of aggression again. but i do think this is a warning shot for the biden administration. it's got to be focused like a laser beam on the fact that this was a dry run for iran and its plans for a much, much larger and more devastating conflict against israel in the future. david: so despite that, we are -- the biden administration is thinking of renegotiating with iran for another nuclear deal which, of course, the last nuclear deal provided them with literally tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars or billions of dollars in many cases in terms of their oil sales. is it possible that the biden administration will now

reconsider that, perhaps not being so anxious to renegotiate an iranian deal? >> oh, from your lips to god's ears, david. that's the one thing biden has got to do here urgently, fundamentally reassess this headlong rush his administration is undertaking to get back into that deal because as certainly as day follows night, david, this sanctions relief that's going to be given under this deal is going to funnel billions if not tens of billions of dollars into the coffers of iran's revolutionary guard, and that means hezbollah and that hamas. there's no polite way to put this. it would be strategic madness for the biden administration to underwrite iran's next war against israel and help it insure that the devastation and destruction of that war makes the last 11 days in gaza look like a walk in the park by comparison. david: wow. gotta leave it on that.

john hannah, thank you very much. >> thank you, david. david: now to fox's trey yingst reporting live from gaza city as he does pretty much 24/7 for the first time now since the conflict began more than 10 days ago. what does it look like there for you, trey? >> reporter: well, david, good afternoon. a ceasefire went into effect overnight after 11 straight days of fighting between israel and hamas. we are getting a firsthand look at the devastation and destruction for the palestinian people inside gaza. according to the hamas-run palestinian health ministry, at least 240 people were killed during the violence this month. to understand the level of devastation though, you really have to take a look at these pictures and the scene earlier today. we spoke with residents at one building that was destroyed by an israeli airstrike. take a look. during this round of conflict, the israelis targeted high-rise buildings. the destruction almost indescribable. the streets it is of gaza city now littered with debris.

at this location multiple families were killed in a single israeli airstrike. >> translator: people were sleeping. some with were doctors, engineers. they were educated people. this is their status quo. >> reporter: the israeli response into gaza included airstrikes and artillery shelling. remember, hamas and islamic jihad fired more than 4,000 rockets towards the jewish state, so this was a very active front line not only inside gaza, but also southern israel. both sides are claiming victory with prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying his forces were creative in their approach to targeting hamas positions. we were inside gaza at a hamas military rally today, and the factions here say they won because they were firing rockets towards israel's largest cities. a big mess in the region but, again, that egyptian-brokered ceasefire is giving much-needed relief to palestinians and israelis as they're hoping peats

will remain on the -- peace will remain on the horizon. david: a horrible image of a child holding an automatic weapon there with the other militants. correct me if i'm wrong, trey, but a lot of the missiles being sent into israel from gaza were planted right in the middle of civilian populations, correct? >> reporter: there's 2 million people inside gaza, and it's a strip of land about 27 miles long, so you can imagine when they're firing thousands of rockets, they are coming from all over the gaza strip. david? david: trey yingst, take care of yourself. thank you very much. so colleges are reopening but with a new requirement as more students are protesting mandatory vaccinations. that's next. ♪ ♪

lydia. >> reporter: david, this group here is speaking out against rutgers university vaccine mandate for students. mostly they say they don't oppose the vaccine, but they oppose mandate that takes away student choice. today's event is hosted by a libertarian student group called young americans for liberty as well as turning point usa. take a look behind me. you can see several hundred people are gathered here in what is students, parents, relatives and others from new jersey including local lawmakers. one of the student organizers tells me she may actually get the vaccine herself, but she wants the freedom to make that choice. watch this. >> you're not allowing students to make the personal choice for themselves. i believe i have the right, and i need the time to make the correct decision. we should not be discriminating students against whether or not they want to take the vaccination. we should be recommending it, not mandating it. >> reporter: back in march rutgers became one of the first colleges in the country to

mandate9 the vaccine for students, and since then more than 380 colleges and universities have followed suit issuing similar policies. now, the rutgers policy does allow students to seek an exemption based on religious or health reasons, and when we contacted a spokesperson, they told us that the school is, quote, committed to creating a safe campus environment, and they went on to say that this policy is consistent with the legal authority. still, students tell me today it's important for them to speak out against this mandate. they want the administration to hear their views. in fact, some students that are attending today tell me that if this mandate is fully enforced, they will leave school, they will transfer to another school or university before they get the vaccine this fall. david? david: interesting. lydia hu, thank you very much. here now to discuss is angela moribito, campus reform fellow and former u.s. department of education press secretary. thank you for being here, angela. are colleges getting ahead of science on this?

>> they're ahead of science and they're certainly ahead of the fda which has not yet granted full approval for the covid vaccine. while operation warp speed has yielded very exciting results -- i can tell you i was excited to go get my shot -- the fda has a detailed and lengthy process for approving vaccines. so if we want to trust the science here, that means being patient until the science has shown more results. david: well, we all know the younger you are, the more likely, first of all, you are to survive covid if you get it, but even to get severe symptoms if you get the disease. so i think a lot of students are are saying we should have the choice of whether we want to suffer the consequences of covid or, in fact, worry about the long-term effects of a vaccine. and, again, a lot of these vaccines employ a very new technology, right? >> that's right. it's not just a new vaccine, it's a new type of vaccine. this is the first mrna vaccine

that's been widely available to the public. and while that has shown great promise and it's very exciting, it's also a deeply personal decision where people are weighing risks and rewards. students are rightfully bristling at the idea that their university with thinks they get a vote here. these colleges are some of the first businesses in america who are saying, you know, regardless of what we require for our employees, we're going to require the customers, our students, to either show up with the shot or go home. david: now, a lot of these colleges and universities are private institutions. you have the choice to either go there and accept their rules or not, so it's a matter -- you still have the choice. i mean, you can, as lydia was just reporting, some of these students say if they are forced to get the vaccine, they will not go. they'll transfer to some college that doesn't require it. so there is still choice to that degree, no? >> that's right. and at campus reform, we're hearing from students every day who say, you know, just like the

student you spoke to, that they want to get the shot, they're just really troubled by the fact that their university feels entitled to make that decision on their behalf. they're in college to learn how to be productive adults and good american citizens, and if we want to train great adult, we've got to let them make these adult medical decisions for themselves. david: angela, i want to switch gears a little bit to something that has been highlighted by the pandemic as we've focused on teachers unions and what they were doing with regard to these mandates and their refusal to get back in even when it was -- everybody said it was safe, all the scientists said it was safe. we're also getting word now of what goes on inside the classrooms. these teaching methods that are being used, the 1619 project, critical race theory, etc. there is a lot of pushback in america against these programs. that was all highlighted by the pandemic. maybe it was one of the good things, parents finally took more of an interest in what was

going on inside the classroom, right? >> if there's a silver lining to this covid pandemic, perhaps, you know, for all the tragedy, it's also exposed what's been going on in our classrooms. critical race theory started on college campuses. it took root there, and we just witnessed a watershed moment in this debate at unc just days ago. they were going to offer nikole hannah-jones, author of the 1619 project, a tenured position before she had ever taught a class. tenure is a tremendous privilege, and this is liberal privilege on display. but instead of going through the 7-8 year process, they were going to fast track her and essentially give her a lifetime position where she's immune from accountability and criticism. now, the board of trustees stepped in and said taxpayers are not going to stand for this. she has every right to use her voice on campus, and she's actually going to be teaching there for five years, but to send her for the front of -- to the front of the line for tenure

would have been a tremendous misten. david: right. and, by the way, historians on both the left and the right have said a lot of whats' in 1619 is just historically inaccurate. i mean, you get an award like tenure, a lifetime tenure for coming out with something that historians say is wrong? it just doesn't make any sense. i'm glad there was pushback. angela, thank you so much for being here. appreciate it. so is it a border shell game or a move in the right direction? migrant kids are now being left in cities and small towns all across the country very far away from the border. former i.c.e. director tom homan on what is going on here. he's next. ♪ ♪ not everybody wants the same thing. that's why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.

♪♪ david: turning other states into a border state, tennessee lawmakers sounding the alarm on

the biden administration as a video merges reportedly showing -- emerges reportedly shows migrant children being flown to the state in the middle of the night. here now is tom homan, former acting i.c.e. director and fox business contributor. it looks like a continuation of the shell game. we saw it right at the border when they moved the kids from one facility to an hhs facility to make it seem like, you know, there weren't many people, there went many kids stuffed into a place but there, in fact, were. it was just a shell game. is that what's going on now? >> yeah, in that case they moved them across the state. in this case they're moving around the country. this isn't by accident. they want to get really good and really fast at releasing people as soon as possible so there doesn't appear to be an overcrowded condition which they hope will turn into there's not a crisis, nothing here to see. here's the problem with that, the quicker they release people, the more enticement it's going

to be for more people to come because they're going to understand, hey, you're going to be released to your final destination at the expense of the u.s. government. we're going to get you there by bus or plane. they're absolutely making a bad decision. not only that, david, there's two things they're doing that puts these children at risk. number one, they're not doing dna testing to make sure the family units, like the trump administration did. we found families weren't really families, so these children are victims of trafficking. the second thing, when they release these children to sponsor families, they're not doing the vetting at the level the trump administration did. the trump administration would vet everybody in the household, not just the sponsor. they want to make sure there's no sexual predators living in that house. now to speed up the process of release, they're only vetting the sponsor, no one else in the house. so this is a dangerous policy, it's a ridiculous policy because it's going to bring more people across that border. david: and, tom, you really

can't vet when you have this many people -- i mean, that's why the trump policy had so many parts to it. the first part was to stop them at the border whether through a wall or the remain in the mexico policy or whatever, and then you could have a more orderly process. right now it's totally out of control, right? >> yeah. president trump looked at the data. there's two data points president trump was aware of. one, the 89% of all central americans who claim asylum at the border never win a case in court because they simply don't qualify or they don't show up. so 9 out of 10 are committing fraud. and out of that 90 percent that gets ordered removed, less than 3% leave. so president trump said, okay, if 90% are committing fraud and only 3% leave after being ordered by a judge to leave, why do we keep letting them in and releasing them? let's keep them in mexico, have

their asylum cases, and then we don't have to look for them to remove them. president trump followed the law, he was smart about it, and it secured our border: the most secure border we've ever had in the history of this administration. and the biden administration tore it down in two weeks. david: well, that's not what secretary mayorkas tells us, he says that the border's closed. you talk to a lot of border agents. do you know any of them that agree with that, that we have a closed border right now in. >> absolutely not. and i've been down to the border four times in the last two months. when he made that statement -- david: he continues to make the statement, tom. he a makes imtime and time again, as recently as a week ago. >> and the border patrol agents feel abandoned by their president and by the secretary. these men and women down there are busting their butts down there, putting their lives on the line working overtime, and border patrol agents aren't even on the line anymore, they're

taking care of families, which means the border is at risk of more bad guys getting into the unsecured portions. every border agent i've talked to in the last two months has lost respect in the commander in chief. and one other thing, the president on national tv said the border patrol agents would watch children in mexico die of starvation standing on river banks. how dare he. these men and women have saved over 4,000 lyes, they've jumped in the river -- david: absolutely. we've seen that. -- >> so for the commander in chief to make that statement, he lost the respect of these men and women. this is the first time in my career i've seen the commander and chief and the secretary of homeland security abandon the very men and women who strap a gun to their hip and stand on that line to defend this nation while you and i are in bed sleeping at night. kay david tom, very quickly, there were two i.c.e. facilities, one in georgia and one in massachusetts, to close down.

now, there may be some legitimate reasons, there was talk about abuse against certain of the detainees, but a lot of these detainees are very dangerous characters. do you know where they have gone? are they, have they been transferred to other i.c.e. facilities or what's happening? >> they have. but let me say this, both these facilities, the investigation's ongoing, and i am confident both the investigations are going to show there's no wrong doing, first of all. second of all, it wasn't about these allegations. this was about shutting down the immigration detention, which is participant of their plan. title 42's going to end in the next couple -- [audio difficulty] let's abolish i.c.e. detention. we won't have detention beds, and what happens then? they get released because there's no detention beds. this isn't by accident, this is by design. there will be no immigration detention if this president has his way. david: good to see you, tom, thank you very much for coming here.

york times" investigative piece about apple's story storing users' data in china itself. tim cook says, look, you have to comply with the laws in the jurisdictions you operate in. there are plenty of overseas smartphone sellers that operate in china. also of note, epic is 40% owned by one of the largest internet chinese companies called tencent. another interesting back and forth pertains to google and the fact that google pays apple to be the default search engine on iphones. tim cook says if you're asking if google pays us, yes, they do. you have to remember it's a partnership part of that doj antitrust case against google. also another point was about the in-app payment systems because that's what epic violated those rules, and tim cook was asked why can't apps like epic have in-app payment systems or direct their users to their own web site for better deals. to that he said, well, it's akin

to apple at best buy saying, best buy, put in a sign where we are advertising that you can go across the street and get an iphone. remember that epic is suing apple over those high fees of 15-30% which xbox charges exactly the same amount. epic says there are no alternatives on iphones, to that, tim cook saying we have to charge these fees for better secure, user and development as well for these apps. and what about epic ceo tim sweeney, talking to a lawyer, some say he wasn't that effective, it was hard to hear what he was saying or even make the case, and lawyers say it's up to epic to make the case in the uphill battle to win this courtroom fight. now, in terms of a decision, the judge likely won't have one for at least a week, maybe more. of course, there are ongoing appeals on either side regardless of what the judge decides. david: susan, thank you very much. meanwhile, the white house is

eyeing your bank accounts. a provision in president biden's american families plan would allow the irk rs to spy on all your spending habits as well as on your income. of course, this would allow the irs to track your personal and political presences anytime they want -- preferences anytime they want. of course not that they would ever target folks based on their political beliefs, would they, steve forbes? >> well, david, you know, absolutely. you know, absolutely they would use it for political purposes. remember, ten years ago the obama administration was using the irs to harass the tea party groups, conservative groups that rose up in opposition -- david: lois lerner, i remember the name well. >> yes, sir. and so these promises, everyone knows those promises are routinely broken even by private company, even by tech companies concerning your privacy. so of course the government's going to end up using it.

they'll express horror about it, but they say, well, they need to do this to have better compliance with the tax code. of course, that's an argument to get rid of the tax code, but they say they need to see these flows to better understand if you have illegal income. but they'll also use it for other purposes, sadly. david: of course. and might they not also have an ulterior motive which is to tee things up for the wealth tax where the irs would be responsible for going in and valuing every single thing you have, how much it's worth and where, whether you take one account, move it from here to there? i mean, i see something more at work here than just what you mentioned, that they are kind of setting the stage for a wealth tax. is that a possibility in. >> absolutely. and one of the arguments against the wealth tax was precisely that the irs would have the opportunity to examine everything you own in your house, everything you do, and this bank account is the way to do it. they're also going to go after cryptocurrencies, having to

report those because they feel that's a way of hiding income as well. so these estimates of how much income they get by having greater enforcement are, i think, inflated because the code is so complex, so ambiguous that the people use it to hide -- not hide income, but perfectly legal ways to do it. so the answer, of course, is get rid are of this hard code, make it simple as 30 cups have done, sing -- countries have done. single rate, few exemptions for adults and kids, and that's it. david: seems like we're going in the opposite direction -- >> because they want power. david: of course. but the way we found this, we have a terrific reporter named edward lawrence who was looking through the american families plan. now, we should mention they've kind of muddle all these trillion dollar plans together. we had the american rescue plan which already passed. of course, it was purely partisan, not one republican voted for it. we have the american jobs plan which is pending, and then the american families plan in which

this, these new irs rules are embedded. what's happening in they add up, by the way, used to add up to over $6 trillion, now it adds up to $5.4 trillion because there's a compromise afoot. the administration's come back, but it's still a lot of money. i think they're conflating these three plans because they want to mix it up so people can't make sense of what's in what. >> that's right. they know if they went through the normal legislative process, most of this stuff wouldn't pass because people aren't ready to support it. and this so-called compromise plan on infrastructure, that's not meant to win over republicans, david, that is meant to keep democrats in line. and already we've had reports they've been on the phone to various democrats saying, what do you need. and that -- as you know, there are a lot of goodies out there. and edward lawrence and others are going to have a field day uncovering this massive -- david: now that we've, it's going to be the final point, but now that we have uncovered this plan to make the irs even more

intrusive than it is, can republicans at least negotiate on that point? because it still hasn't passed. the administration did come down just today from over $2.5 or 2.25 trillion down to 1.7 trillion which is still real money, but can republicans negotiate those irs rule changes out of that bill? >> very hard because they also want to negotiate all those tax increases, and the administration is not going to do it. look, the republicans came up with a pretty good infrastructure plan, $580 billion over ten years. actually, on real things like roads, bridges, ports and things like that, real infrastructure instead of all this other stuff which is meant to make people dependent, meant to give government more power, more intrusive powers, more control over all of us. so i don't see how you compromise on that. republicans need to highlight the irs is after you, and people are in a mood where they don't trust anyone when it come toss

their privacy, and the idea the irs is going to paw through your bank accounts? i think that's a way to maybe kill the whole thing. dade david it is frightening. that wouldn't be such a bad thing. the great steve forbes, ladies and gentlemen. forbes on fox, as we once used to say. good to see you, steve. thank you very much for being here. >> good to see you, david. david: well, finding a new home that puts more money in your wallet. the state of arkansas is offering a hundred people $10,000 to move to its northwestern region where the cost of living, get this, is a whopping 200% cheaper than what i pay here in manhattan. connell mcshane is in bettenville, arkansas, with the story. connell. >> reporter: welcome to benton theville, arkansas, known as the hometown of walmart. the local business leaders here want to take advantage of the work from home craze and diversify their local economy. they want to bring in new talent. >> we want them to help with our

100 will be accepted and move here by the end of the year with the funding coming from the walton family foundation. other cities, tulsa, oklahoma, as an example, have similar programs in place. the one complaint we've heard is the money might be better spent on people who alreadily here rather than -- already live here. but the council insists that the investment will pay off in the long term. back to you. tawf dave connell mcshane, thank you very much. well, a look at markets at the close, the dow ending up for the second day in a row, but the s&p 500 and the nasdaq ending in the red on weakness in growth stocks. big tech and momentum stocks also finishing lower today. for the week stocks were mixed. the dow and s&p 500 ending down for the second week in a row, but the nasdaq snapping a four-week losing streak. coming up, chicago mayor lori are lightfoot openly -- lori lightfoot openly prejudicing or prejudging

the major doubling down, insisting is she will not do interviews with white reporters, only with people of color, saying there is, quote: an overwhelming whiteness and maleness of chicago's media outlets. joining me now is alveda king can, niece of dr. martin luther king jr. and a fox business contributor. dr. king, thank you for being here. isn't this definition of racism? >> oh, dear. oh, dear, oh, dear. america, wake up. now, i do understand that the mayor's probably frustrated, angry and tired. however, when you shut down communication, you cannot find solutions. my uncle, reverend dr. martin luther king jr., once said we must learn to live together the as brothers. i have added as sisters, or perish together as fools. he also say we may have come over on different ships, but we're in the same boat now. david: bingo. >> now, the mayor was probably

lifted by black or people of color votes -- nobody looks like a piece of white paper -- [laughter] nobody does. that's really not even real, and we are one blood. there is, david, a critical race. it is the human race. david: yes. >> so we should be asking people what color is your blood. david: absolutely. >> not color blind. we can see. but we want to celebrate ethnicity and communicate with each other. she's missing the point. david: she is, indeed. and i thought that the civil rights act way back in 1968, i believe, or '65 made that law. yeah, exactly, made that law that you were not allowed to discriminate on the basis is of color. and she certainly is, and she's a public official. >> she is a public official. i don't know if she has actually understood the law. i don't know if she understands her opportunity to uphold the law and to govern according to

the law. however, to judge people by the color of their skin is certainly not going to solve any of her problems. i can understand frustration. but it is not skin color that determines the hard action of human beings. -- the heart action of human beings. and i have to point out we are one human race. david: a that's right. >> the critical race is the human race. and i don't think she understands that. david: i think you're right on target. even the covid relief bill had a provision on it that focused on -- eliminated one race in favor of others. it's called the restaurant revitalization fund. that was part of the american rescue plan act. it says the small business administration will prioritize eligible restaurants of orderly and economically disadvantaged defines as those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice. so even the covid relief bill makes a distinction in terms of who's eligible for funding based on skin color.

quickly. >> continuing to divide us according to skin color. we'll get no solutions. it's the red blood of humans that does that, not the kin color. -- skin color. we should see each other, celebrate ethnicity but treat each other equally as human beings and members of the critical human race. david: can we get back on track someday to the kind of color blind society that your uncle -- >> not color blind, no. no, no, not color blind. that's a disease and a sickness. if you're color blind, you can't see. we don't want to be blind, we want to celebrate color and ethnicity but not hurt each other because of it. my uncle was not color blind. you know, he may have referred to that or said this race or something, but he knew that we were one human race. he knew that. acts 17:26, one blood. david: that's a very important distinction, and i appreciate you bringing it up here tonight. alveda king, what a pleasure to talk to you. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. david: well, prince harry
