5:02 pm
up u.s. supply, rising energy costs, fuels a new inflation report. i am elizabeth macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ >> let's get to this story, israeli american dual citizen rudy rockman, it's good to have you on. you went back to israel to fight hamas, currently on the gaza border, israel's mission is to destroy hamas once and for all. this is going to be intense urban warfare, can you tell us what's happening now? >> on saturday we were deployed to gaza i am part of a reservist unit, since israel is a small country, all of us who have been in combat have to be ready for work until age 40 to be brought back. we got the call, a lot of my friends have kids and families and have to leave everything.
5:03 pm
the holiday as well. we left everything and went straight to the border of gaza and fighting for days straight to get to billions out of the. we saw orders, bodies everywhere of men and women and children, some of the most horrendous use. i was trained to be a soldier but i could never imagine being prepared to see such a scene. >> reports that israel is doing airstrikes and we hear you loud and clear on the horrific images you've seen, airstrikes on gaza to set the stage for potential invasion, is that and it looks. >> the thing is hamas is constantly shooting even when there's no terrorists which they tried to do everyday. only in the media you hear. his ripped everyday stopping people trying to infiltrate and kill. rocket attacks in israel, what are we going to do? we will shoot back. they are targeting locations and israelis can be safe. i know for a fact we are most
5:04 pm
likely going to have to go into gaza so 150 kidnapped israelis, who knows what happening and we have to go get them put a stop to this and not only take out hamas to free people of the palestinian people. hamas also elected would hamas was different than what it is today, it was something that was progressive in the book, clearly is everything but that. hamas is pressing palestinians, there's no freedom of speech. if you disagree, your beheaded so we need to free palestinians from hamas not only for israelis to be safe. [inaudible] there's no reality transcend their differences and achieve a reality where we fulfill aspirations and and injustices we are experiencing. >> that's the message u.s. media and the world needs to hear, palestinian people are oppressed by hamas. they are isis, they are doing it
5:05 pm
on a level of totality of isis, right? >> of course, hamas knows it cannot be israel. his goal of entering and murdering people was never to be israel, is to win a media war and force israel to fire back. hamas intentionally shoot rockets from civilian areas and israel has to send leaflets with the trunk with it saying we are about to attack and we have no attack. they sent a bomb that's a loud firecracker noise letting them know to leave and send a text message and it does everything to prevent casualties but hamas doesn't only want israeli attack is, and what palestinian attacks because they can show pictures which are horrible, innocent human beings, cousins of israelis dying when war and get financial support and we can see the leaders of hamas are all billionaires that live a luxurious life and is their business and the only way to end
5:06 pm
it is about social pressure in the world to wake up and we need to take out hamas not only to save israel you wife's palestinian lives better equally important. >> destroy hamas, get rid of them. how is it over there? >> you cannot remove morale we went through one of the worst massacres in my lifetime. all the time we are together, we are strong and sing and celebrate life and looking forward to a future or we don't have more problems like this. we learned from the past to create a better future and they can never take that away from us. >> please stay safe, thank you so much my friend, appreciate you coming on the show. let's bring on a respected command of former nato supreme allied commander, former vice chief of the u.s. air force, retiring four-star general philip it's good to have you on. you heard the report, he's a reservist and called it, he's at
5:07 pm
the gaza strip saying the message is not getting out, this is about freeing oppressed palestinian people from the terror group hamas, what you think of that? >> first, i congratulate him for being a well spoken young man and his messages are clear and i think they are accurate so you said it will and that is the world doesn't understand what's really going on here. you already see the media blitz around the world about how are we going to withhold israel's wrath now that they are about to enter into gaza? i think that is part of the game plan as the paratrooper pointed out. part of hamas game plan to curb what they expect to happen. >> we had this story, the white house racing to get americans out, why did they wait five days to come up with charter flights
5:08 pm
to evacuate americans? you got israel, poland, hungary, brazil, norway and sweden when that for their citizens, what you think of this? >> i can't answer for the white house, i'm not in the middle of their work but certainly there are americans whose families are tractor who have a lot of problems with how this is proceeded. i'll let them before the question you have asked. >> was the message you want to give the world about what's going on? >> first of all, there's a big difference between what hamas did in israel and what israel is about to do in the gaza strip. hamas created and have worked on after war crime in their attack into israel.
5:09 pm
horrible scenes, incredible heinous acts. now what will happen is israel will go into the gaza strip. there will be violence, there will be casualties. there will be casualties on both sides of the combatants but what there will not be our babies beheaded, women raped and the kind of kidnapping and carrying away you've seen when hamas attacked into israel so i would call on people like you to make sure the world sees the difference in what's about to happen because we will see an intense media loss, some of it perpetrated out of places you've discussed today where they will call attention to what happens when israel goes in in a forceful way. >> thank you so much for joining us, thank you for giving us your insights tonight. >> thank you.
5:10 pm
>> joining us now home and security senator roger marshall senator, this story, it good to see you again, what you make of the white house refusing to confirm reports deputy treasury secretary huawei told house democrats that the white house and cutter did agree to stop iran, a quiet agreement from accessing 6 billion in funds in the hostage swap, why will they formerly block it? >> what i see right now is the white house trying to cover up mistakes. think about who joe biden is, the most pro-iranian president in american history, he wants to help israel but keeps helping iran and this is the next chapter and americans need to understand iran is the head of the snake, responsible for funding hamas and planning this massacre as well. unleash the $6 billion unfrozen
5:11 pm
$10 billion. he turned his head to the sanctions we have in iran selling oil and now he's lived the sanctions and iran is selling a billion dollars a week of oil to china. he wanted to take the revolutionary guard of the trip terrace list, they planned this invasion so to deny iran's involvement is beyond so this is the next chapter trying to cover up huge mistakes on national security policy. >> it's important what you said, we are going to show the viewer the senate democrats saying stop the funds for iran. you joined i think a group of 21 other senators saying stop the funds to iran. senator tom cotton and mitch mcconnell have legislation to do that. the democrats are likely walking back, is that correct? we do have senator -- got half a
5:12 pm
dozen senators saying do it from the democrat side, what do you think? >> i think if we get the opportunity to get this on the floor it will pass the senate which will put pressure on joe biden so let's see what he says, why does he continue to cover up iran? why won't he cut the head of the snake off? we'll see what happens, marsha blackburn is leading this, i want her comment as well and those folks who joined us on this particular battlefront in you and republican senators are saying the six doing to israel to rebuild what hamas destroyed. let's listen to michael waltz with stuart varney on this. >> what this really is is a cover for the administration to not reverse course on iran, go back to maximum pressure, cut off oil money, cut off international money refreeze a. we can help israel isolate hamas and hezbollah right now if we chose to but instead he got big fictitious fairies tail spin and
5:13 pm
it's beyond frustrating and they know it's wrong. >> what do you say, senator? >> iran is the head of the snake here. first think joe biden did when he got into office was pave the way for them to develop nuclear weapons. we have to cut the head of the snake off and go after the rent. they are the largest, state funder of this across the world. they are funding and training and planning these attacks. this is all the blood going on right now in the hands of iran and hamas. >> got it. senator marshall, thank you for joining us, we appreciate you. >> you're welcome. >> still ahead, august pflueger, steve forbes chair of the forbes media also gop strategist ford o'connell and former deputy nsa under trump, she is victoria coast. this story broke hamas groups clashed with pro- israeli groups in college campus is nationwide but a growing number of groups at harvard say no to support a

(announcer) change your life at golo.com. that's golo.com.
5:18 pm
joining us now, he is the editor at large of the spectator.com, we love his work, ben domenech, good to see you. love to get your reaction to this. new poles coming in, former president trump now please president biden swing state of pennsylvania, is a new, simple. he's up by nine percentage points. that's biden on that in 2020. we'll show fox news polls showing where travis basically top of the heap in the gop race, what is your take? >> poll is interesting, emerson for your viewers, respected polling firm, not one of these left folks out there selling a partisan perspective on things. what's really interesting to me in addition to that for donald trump is obviously the fact there is a high level of people who are undecided in that poll, people who say they might not but like the writers that they
5:19 pm
are willing to entertain other candidates and one thing people need to consider is with the likelihood we have not just donald trump and joe biden on the ballot next fall assuming all things remain equal going forward, you are going to have a number of independent candidacies not just rfk junior but of the no labels candidate who runs nationwide and potentially other leftist candidates in the mix and that will create a scenario that creates a possibility that this is a being an election for the first time a very long time in american history that ends up getting decided in the house of representatives, something that would be for political nerds like me and potentially you but not something that necessarily the american people are prepared for in terms of the kind of chaos that correct. >> what you just said, who does this hurt? no labels candidate, rfk junior,
5:20 pm
we got this -- >> that's a huge question. >> me tell you, we have this new writers poll, majority 54% of americans say biden's border crisis is making life harder. we had obama's home and security secretary saying the border is the worst, they've never seen this hemispheric search for the southern border, the worst he's ever seen and israeli hamas war is hitting the race, too. people are saying what's with the biden white house policies all around? >> i think people are fed up with the idea we have to have this leadership class in america we had for far too long. out of touch with priorities here at home and you have to say one thing in common right now between israeli gaza situation and what we have on our southern border is the inability to protect against potential threats, we seen the number of people on the terror watch list
5:21 pm
and those of the people we interact with and we catch who come across. that's something i think is of concern to a lot of americans for their own partisan leanings one way or the other. i think a lot of the people who potentially could be running could hurt joe biden a lot. in states like pennsylvania, he needs to have a confident consolidated coalition in order to win swing states that were once the blue wall for democrats and i think it's something that's very concerning to the democratic party and why they have been negative on rfk and white they will be negative if they recruit somebody who could be truly competitive. >> let's get your reaction to former president trump here. watch this. >> two nights ago i read all of biden's security people, can you imagine national defense people? they said i hope hezbollah doesn't attack from the north because that's the most vulnerable spot. i said wait a minute, has a look is very smart, they are all
5:22 pm
smart. >> in terms of strategy, positioning themselves, that's misinterpreted by media critics what is your take? >> i he doesn't need to give compliments in the aftermath of this. this is a moment for the former president to lead into his solid form foreign policy. three of the last four of ministrations didn't and he did in terms of killing military leaders and having them in and he should claim credit as opposed to giving any credit to people who are currently trying to wreck israel and killed as many of their people as pos possible. >> thank you so much, come back soon, okay? >> i will. >> x on expanding oil production in the basin. boost oil supply and ease prices at the pump, that's what they want to do with the new $60 billion deal. hot new inflation report coming
5:23 pm
5:27 pm
in the wake up call, hamas terror attack on israel exposes how radicalized u.s. universities have become. broke hamas groups clashed with pro- israeli student groups at college campuses today. fox news mollie line live outside harvard university in cambridge, massachusetts with the story. >> that evening, these protests were called for by the national group students for justice in palestine underway with pro- israel and pro- palestinian
5:28 pm
protesters experience in classes these protests included during a rally in chapel hill and north carolina, video capturing a jewish professor been pushed as he approaches some of the participants. >> those people support people that killed hundreds of people, kids and babies, put babies in chains and burned them, beheaded people. >> several harvard student organizations signed on to a joint statement placing blame on israel for vicious attacks of the weekend are now seeking to attract as business leaders contemplate blacklisting members. hedge fund founder bill ackman writing i've been asked by a number of ceos if harvard would release a list of members have harvard organizations and issued the letter stunning soap responsibly for hamas attacks to israel so to ensure none of us inadvertently fire their members and now a truck run by accuracy
5:29 pm
in the driving around harvard campus covered in digital billboards that display names and giant photos of the students allegedly members of the group that signed the internet is your statement dumping anti- semites. pro-israel semites for being expressed on harvard campus with posters displayed on the yard showing kidnapped israeli hostages including the elderly and babies. >> what a story. always great journalism from you, thank you so much. joining us now gop strategist ford o'connell. you heard mollie's report, what is your reaction? >> college campuses have been on hate for years now from coast to coast and nowhere is it more pronounced and harvard university and when it comes to the students, they like to pick and choose which date they like to support or not support or condemn and that is the paradox in contradiction is taking place
5:30 pm
on america's campuses. >> is striking they demand safe spaces that support hamas slaughtering children, women and seniors. five harvard student groups retract support of anti- israel groups defined by 34 and but israeli groups, five students are backing out but students at george washington university in d.c. and other places hiding behind masks at these rallies, shouldn't they show their faces? >> if you stand up, you should know college students should realize they will have consequences for their actions. i am a free-speech defender as much as possible but also today's young kids brainwashed by the left-wing radicals and faculties and administrations to believe two things. don't teach american values and they teach students israeli -- israel is a bunch of oppressors. >> we listened to a reservist who said we are liberated
5:31 pm
palestinians from a terror group on the level of isis. when you look at terrorists purposely murdering civilians because they can't stand up to nation armies, let's listen to former harvard president, larry summers on this. >> i have been so disappointed i have to say in the collective response of america's academic leadership to what has happened. given the number of issues on which leadership at harvard and other universities have spoken out failed to speak out when it is tear toward israel was i thought a real failing. i am glad to see harvard has adjusted its position and i'm glad to see to varying extents other universities are
5:32 pm
responding. >> moral failing shouldn't be complicated to say students are wrong to teach them, that's their job. chairman of the board of advisors to the school mark rowan, he's slamming the university of pennsylvania and other colleges and universities for letting students believe these tears or resistance fighters are not. they are on the level of isis, he's saying the faculty and administration, alumni leaders revealed a culture of self-censorship in favor of politically correct speech at universities either afraid or too lazy and weak to present reasonable debate against all of this when that is their job. >> it is their job but i do think larry summers is being blind eye what's going on at harvard and others at the university of pennsylvania. these faculties and administrations are left-wing
5:33 pm
radicals brainwashing people into believing israelis are oppressors and therefore is justified for hamas, a terrace organization to burn people and behead babies. it is sickening. this stuff went on during blm and other things and they didn't speak up, they should not be surprised if this is happening right now even though it is repugnant. >> do you think more democrat leaders should speak out at what's going on on college campuses? >> absolutely. if you look at the polls, a majority of democrats in the united states sympathize with palestine over israel. they believe anything hamas does is justified, they need to stand up for what's morally right. >> it's about terrorism. thank you so much. coming up, steve ford smoke my former boss, a new report coming and how to than expected. also this story, the police battling to get the votes he needs. why are far left squad democrats getting a task from democrat party leadership like nancy
5:34 pm
5:38 pm
but did you updated what you're doing with your kitchen table and rising pocketbook cost. we got polls showing majority of americans showing economics is a failure, everett lawrence live at the white house with more and why inflation for september came in hotter than expected. >> energy has everything to do with that hotter than expected flat year-over-year from last month to this month and the
5:39 pm
white house press secretary telling me cpi inflation is coming down over the past year end it's true in that timeframe, you look at when president biden came into office january of 2021 cpi inflation overall 17% that month. here's the spin. >> is not forget about wages are higher than they were slashers, accounting for inflation. prices fell for goods like cars and furniture the fourth month in a row, all of those are in the data cpi came out today and that matters. >> people see red is up 7.4% year-over-year, car insurance is up 19%. calls are not coming down for all americans. >> here's the thing. as we know when it comes to housing, people are still dealing with a lot. we understand how the economic hardship as relates to housing. >> let's look at energy under the biden administration a
5:40 pm
barrel of oil averages $84 a barrel. former president donald trump, the same barrel, $58 as an average so iran made $8 billion from oil sales in 201900 heavily enforced sanctions last year for the terror state jumped to $54 billion partly because of price. the american petroleum institute says energy produced here in the u.s. has the highest environmental standards of anywhere. >> i think what a lot of these misguided policies represent is a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of energy demand going forward. we look around the world consider where the supply should come from, we think the first choice especially for american policymakers should always be united states. >> the president trying to increase supply locally, looking to opec plus and making deals with venezuela to make that happen.
5:41 pm
>> they are all over the map with their policies. a lot of economists have told us, too. let's welcome back to the show media chairman editor in chief, steve forbes. your reaction? we see from emerson, abc pol polling, cnn polling, nbc polling, the majority of americans say we are on the wrong pass. inflation sits september 2021 is up nearly 20% compounded. >> even though the rate of inflation is supposedly going down, people still seek the cost of living over all coming up. he will see gasoline prices come down for a while but as we get to winter, heating and oil gasoline prices will go up again and people still seek wages matching what happened to prices in many cases falling behind. you see a burden on the economy, banking system is being hit with potentially new capital
5:42 pm
requirements so monday will be going down in the face of what's happening and thanks hold bonds that are underwater so a lot of headwinds out there so the president can keep saying things are getting better and better, people see with their own eyes, they are not and that's why polling numbers are so bad for this president. >> probably at the worst in modern u.s. history. some of the polls show he's pulling worse than jimmy carter. it's interesting, too is that the president is joining his own vice president and making a? that undercut his own bidenomics. watch this. >> how much are your monthly bills and after they are all paid, how much do you have left for necessities? is there enough left over to give you a little bit of breathing room? >> most americans are $400 unexpected expense away from bankruptcy.
5:43 pm
>> so really? that's bidenomics. >> i guess they haven't thought of the example where senator from new jersey for instead of $400, or 80000, 480 million or whatever it is, plus a lot of gold there. seriously, people are feeling behind living paycheck to paycheck but even more for the future, they don't see a better future ahead. they don't have optimism that things will get better when they look around the world, disastrous foreign policy, look at the policies at home, fighting the oil industry even though it's eager to do more, people say where are we going? they see down hill or standing still. >> exxon mobil, $60 billion bit natural resources, they will be the largest single player in the basin. they want to increase oil production 21% in four years. they want to bring more barrels of oil, millions of barrels of
5:44 pm
oil to the market by 2027. this is positive. >> well, it is and we have plenty of oil and gas in this country all short end of the administration. it's crazy war against fossil fuel, that would come online fast. we made huge technological advances in the last 20 years, we can liberate the world, the world is on liquefied natural gas and nothing is this administration's bench on regulations. hundreds of billions of dollars of new regulations. everything you use they want to attack others gas stoves, pizzas in new york, anything that makes life better they want to make it worse. dishwashers taking four hours which you could wants to in an hour. unleash the american people, ronald reagan taught us in great things would happen especially now that the bad guys in the world, it war in the middle east expand. dangerous situation and this administration remains clueless.
5:45 pm
>> steve forbes, come back soon. my former boss. okay, the media again called out for their tone deaf coverage is real and terror attacks plus why is top democrat leadership, why are they silent over their own parties squat support of hamas attacking israel? who want to see what they can and sean have coming up next hour. >> concerns over american supplies as our country supports two wars, one in ukraine and one in israel. the world, is israel going to have a ground invasion of a m mask? we will talk to bridget colby and dan hoffman on that the next stephen moore on how biden's work on american energy has put money into the hands of iran and hamas terrace organizations. we told you two and a half years ago the biden, energy policy is

homeland security, it's good to see you, sir. can we ask why our top democrat leadership, why are they silent on the far left squads attacks on israel? where is nancy pelosi, represented adam schiff, jerry nadler, hakeem jeffries, chuck schumer, where are they on this? >> that's the problem, you are against terrorism or you side with it this one is easy as americans, we side with israel. we side with those who fight against terrorism and carnage continues to get worse. when you look at statements from some of the squat, they need to be condemned by the leadership and this is an easy bipartisan agreement we should be able to have as americans, we should be able to condemn this with no problems and the need to begin out against those like regina could be, so many people over 1000 that including the
5:51 pm
americans the count continues to rise. it's not hard and i introduced a bill to push back on iran and that is the heart of the pro problem, the administration and top democrat leadership refused to do that. >> this is about liberating palestine from hamas terrace who were savages isis. the squad is not getting the wake-up call. they are not answering to that. also fox news bill melugin pointed out, rashida tlaib cried out about what's going on with children at the u.s. border only get inhumane and refuses to say it was inhumane about israeli children being slaughtered. watch this. >> not going to stand by and sit idly by and allow brown and dark skinned children to be ripped away from the parents to dehumanize. not vote for something that is broken and inhumane.
5:52 pm
>> cut off babies heads and burned children alive, do you support their rights to defend themselves? you can't comment about hamas terrace chopping off babies heads? >> your comments on that? those children in terms of illegal immigration, it was unclear they were even with their own parents. they may have been sex trafficked, we don't know what was going on. >> first off, i'd love to take the squad to the southern border and show them what's happening. that's a whole other issue but there are no two sides to this. you have to come out and condemn horrific acts, let's put ourselves in the shoes of the parents who are still wondering where their children are, those who have been kidnapped and held hostage inside gaza by brutal people. there's no two sides, they need to condemn it, it's not okay. >> thanks for joining us.

never do. so there is no symmetry, i'm sorry. >> the prime minister has declared war, declared war on hamas. when you declare war, you aim for victory. but i ask myself the basic question, exactly what do the israelis hope to achieve? reoccupation of the gaza strip? the israelis may want to eliminate hamas' leadership, but where does this go? that's the real problem. elizabeth: freedom. it goes to freedom and liberation of the palestinian people, right? from hamas terrorists. what do you think? >> right. this is just, i mean, it's shocking, the desire on the part of msnbc to make excuses for what hamas did on october 7th in israel. and, you know, as that woman was saying there is no equivalence. you can't draw an equivalence. you can't make this somehow the same thing. and, you know, to aaron david's
5:59 pm
point, where is it going to go? we can't just sit back and wait for there to be another horrific attack like this. i was down in southern israel in 2018. they were showing us these terror tunnels, they were terribly worried something like this would happen. and that was five years ago. so sitting around and waiting and giving hamas a pass and pouring a billion dollars into palestinian causes during the course of the biden administration has not resulted in a better outcome. so i think all of these very left-wing outlets are aiming -- they need to have a reality check -- elizabeth: yeah, they do. and also this, former president trump is being misinterpreted by the media with and others when he said that hezbollah is smart. he was pointing out how incompetent president biden and his administration were by telegraphing to the terrorists an area that is vulnerable in israel to an attack from the north. he wasn't just saying hezbollah is smart, he was talking about
6:00 pm
strategy here and how incompetent the biden white house has been. your final word. >> yeah. i mean, we can't underestimate the enemy. and hezbollah with is a deadly, deadly enemy. and if we think that they're stupid and incompetent, we're just going to walk into another attack like this. elizabeth: so your final word, you know, this is about a liberating palestine, is it not, from terrorists? >> i think that's what it should be with about because the ultimate victims here in the end are going to be the palestinian people in gaza who are going to suffer the most. but it's the fault of hamas. it's it's not the fault of israel. elizabeth: got it. victoria coats, thank you for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald. you've been watching "the evening edit" on fox business with. we had a jam-packed hour. we're going to keep staying on the headlines, watch what's going on in america and bring you the latest news every night from nowen as we've been trying to do. we're going to kick it over to dagen and sean, take it away. dagen:ha
