laundering and joe biden. heap of trouble. another big scandal. i'm kudlow. and now i want to promo if liz macdonald just like i always do. elizabeth: you're so nice to me, larry. it's like christmas every day with you, thank you. [laughter] okay. good to see you, larry. this story, the fight over just how many americans are now trapped in gaza. and this, democrats talk tolerance but attack israel. they demand a ceasefire, a two-tate solution. we've got the sound of a top hamas if official saying hamas terrorists will do an october 7 massacre of israelis again and again until israel is destroyed. and new developments in the democrat party tearing itself apart over israel. and president biden just hours ago touted bidenomics, but the fed signals one more rate hike this year to battle inflation. and is we have jewish students, they're going to to the sue elite universities like harvard for not stopping an explosion of

"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪ elizabeth: joining us now, we've got victoria coats. she worked under the trump administration as a former deputy national security adviser. victoria, it's good to see you. okay, how many americans are in gazasome how many are held hostage, victoria? senator marsha blackburn says hamas is not letting 500 americans leave, that that under federal law they too are hostages along with the9 10 kidnaps by hamas. where do you come down on this? >> the whole thing is outrageous, and it tells you exactly who hamas is, these people to the whom we've been sending billions upon billions of american taxpayer dollars in so-called i humanitarian aid, and they're paying us back by

holding our own people many gaza against their will -- in gaza against their will. the egyptians have opened the crossing, but they're being held just like the 10 scooped up many southern israel. elizabeth: victoria, let's get your reaction to the white house on the americans held by hamas in gaza. watch this. >> reporter: at last check, the administration is saying hamas was holding that up. is that still the cases? can you say what exactly is holding up negotiations as american families wait to see when those americans concern. >> it is still the case. they've been making a series of demands that we're not able to accede to. i think in order to try to make some progress here, we're going to preserve a little of that publicly. yes, hamas is still the holdup. israel and egypt willing to let them come out. the holdup is hamas. elizabeth: did you hear that, victoria? this sounds like hundreds of

americans. we know that reports are coming in that foreign passport holders and the wounded started leaving gaza via the border crossing into egypt, but now there's a concern over the total number. do you know what i mean, victoriasome. >> the whole thing is just incredibly sloppy. and to go back to the funding, i mean, for the president to go the israel a couple of weeks ago and pledge another $100 million for humanitarian aid to hamas, to gaza, he's just paying these people to the hold americans captive. and the other thing is, liz, this administration has a terrible history on assisting american citizens who find themselves in difficult circumstances be it in afghanistan or be it in israel after the october 7th attack. and they just, they can't seem to get a handle on this. elizabeth: you know, victoria, so there's this story, right? you hear the media consistently talk about a ceasefire, a two-state solution. hamas doesn't want a two-state solution or a ceasefire. they want to annihilate israel.

so when you hear the media and democrats talk about that, what do you think? >> no, it's a problem, and it's a problem for the u.s.-israel alliance. what israel needs right now is for the united states to stand unequivocally with them, for us to pull our security -- pool our security resources, make clear that the united states is quickly getting israel everything it needs to put down this horrible threat. and what they're hearing is from secretary blinken testifying this week, yes, we stand forcefully with israel, but we also stand forcefully with the innocent civilians in gaza. well, you can't have it both ways anymore. elizabeth: and we still have dozens of house gop lawmakers saying bring back the tough trump era sanctions, trump era sanctions on iran. you know? sanction the mullahs. they are, they are responsible for severe attacks on their own people, women, children, seniors. they execute people in the public square. they attack women routinely.

iran is behind this. i mean, u.s. allies and the u.s. are talking about the possibility of this multi-national force that may involve is u.s. troops or gaza placed under u.n. oversight. but hamas is popular in gaza. # 6 or 7 out of 10 gazans say yes to hamas. >> oh, they absolutely do. enforce the sanctions that are already there. that's what they haven't done for the last two and a half years. tens of billions of dollars have poured into that e regime, and they trained, equipped and funded this attack on israel. this is what happens. but they're so addicted to those millions of barrels of oil on the market every day, they won't do it. elizabeth: so why appease terrorists? why appease what the u.n. and amnesty international says is one of the world's worst human rights abusers, iran? why appease them? >> there's absolutely no reason. they bring nothing to the table. it's a horrible regime. they've done disastrous things to that beautiful country.

i mean, the environment being one of them. you'd think the administration would be interested in that. elizabeth: victoria coapts, thanks for joining us, it's good to the see you. >> good to see you. elizabeth: okay. house republicans are reportedly setting a trap for house democrats to the the vote against the standing-alone aid bill to israel. they want to pay or -- for it with $14.3 billion in cuts to irs funding. here's the thing, if democrats vote against that, they'll be on the record as against israel and for more irs audits. hillary vaughn on capitol hill with more. >> reporter: senate republicans say that hamas is stealing humanitarian the aid meant for the people many gaza, at least a dozen senate republicans opposing biden's request for $9 billion to send aid to the palestinians saying hamas has already shown they can't keep their hands off of it. >> i am a hard no on any funding for gaza until every american hostage is home.

that money will go into the hands of hamas terrorists. her holding our hostages -- they are holding our hostages. >> reporter: and even some senate democrats acknowledged hamas was able to prepare for this october 7th assault by stealing that aid. >> hamas and authoritarian terrorist organization, ruled by force, stockpiling arms and war material. >> reporter: white house officials say they have no proof so far that hamas has intercepted the aid trickling into gaza. today secretary of state antiany blinken saying so far -- antony blinken says he cannot 100% gash tee that hamas does not try to siphon off some of that aid in the future. liz? elizabeth: thank you so much, hillary vaughn. let's welcome from senate homeland security senator ron johnson. senator, you heard hillary's reporting. what did you make of this fight over, you know, the aid package for israel and the gop in the house and house democrats

fighting with each other over that? >> first of all, isn't it obvious that any aid that goes into gaza will be taken by hamas? if that's just obvious. so i agree with my senate republican colleagues that say we shouldn't be supporting sending american taxpayer-funded aid to hamas. it's just stupid. elizabeth: senator, let's deal with this too. you know, we have democrats in the media, you know, some of them are anti-israel. they're doing things like demanding a two-state solution, demanding a ceasefire. we want your reaction to the top hamas official, a leader of hamas, he's saying no to all that. you're also going to hear him, senator, say hamas terrorists will do an october 7th massacre of israelis again and again until israel is destroyed. we have the subtitles, so you're going to hear this. watch. [speaking in native tongue]

elizabeth: again and again, israel must be finished. your reaction to that. >> well, in this case, believe what hamas leaders say. again, they're not looking for a two two-state solution. -- two-state solution. they are looking to destroy israel and a genocide against the jewish people. that's what they, that's what they want to do. i mean, you cannot take a look at what they did on october 7th, the brutal slaughter of 1400 israelis -- and, by the way, elizabeth, if you equate that to the same percent of the population of america, that'd be equal to 50,000 americans being slaughtered, brutally

slaughtered in such a way you can't even describe what happened on the airwaves. can you imagine how america would react, what the american public would demand of its government, of its military? we need to support israel and its right to defend if itself and destroy hamas. elizabeth: senator, you know, when you think about it, there are 22 arab league nations with something like 420 million people. israel is 70 miles wide, the size of new jersey, and it's got 10 million people. so, senator, "the wall street journal," "the new york times," axios reporting deep splits and divisions now erupting in the democrat party between the far left, the moderates and supporters of israel. the hard left, senator, is threatening to ruin democrats in 2024 races. they're already talking about how president biden is losing support among young and minority voters, and far-left lobbyists and activist groups demand democrats vote against a resolution condemning hamas, condemning hezbollah terrorists

and against new sanctions on iran and a resolution to denouncing iran's nukes. this is what they want. >> right. and believe what the far left wants. the far left has infiltrated our university system, and it's resulted -- has infiltrated every institution of this country. the far left is just into destruction. name one thing that the far left ever has built other than a strong propaganda machine. it destroys everything it toucheses. it destroys nations, it destroys economies. it wants to destroy israel. believe what they say and also understand, open up your eyes to what the far left is doing to this country. and, by the way, who supports generally the democrat party? democrat party is populated with far-left individuals. stop voting for them. stop electing them into office. they're destroying in this country. elizabeth: got it. senator johnson, thanks for joining us. >> have a good night. elizabeth: still ahead, congressman pat fallon from house oversight, byron york, fox news contributor joe concha.

elizabeth: okay. the president just hours ago again touting bidenomics in minnesota. we had an adp jobs number disappointed for october, 1113,000 jobs. -- 113,000. that was lower than the 150,000 expected. also this, the federal reserve chair today signals one more rate hike to battle inflation. interest rates are at a 22-year high. edward lawrence is at the white house with more edward. >> reporter: liz, two different visions of the economy here. president joe biden seeing nothing but sunny days, the fed chairman, jay powell, saying maybe partly cloudy sky ises. let's start with the president here, he's talking bidenomics and wants people to focus on the unemployment rate below 4% for 20 the months in a row. he also wants people to focus on wages that have gained under his presidency. >> now we're growing an economy from the middle out and the bottom up instead of the top down. [applause] folks, there's a practical reason for that. when the middle class does well, the poor have a way up, and the wealthy still do very well.

>> reporter: what he places -- glosses other is that that cpi is up 17.7% from the month president biden came into office. that inflation eating up wage gains from the month to president came into office. that inflation keeping the fed chairman watching the data. he says he sees inflation moderating, but there's still uncertainty around the globe as inflation run running well above his 2% target. with no rate increase today, how long would you be okay with a 3% or 3% plus overall inflation? >> you know, the progress is probably going to come in lumps and be bumpy, but we're making progress. it does feel like the risks are more two-saided now -- two-sided now, but we're committed to getting inflation back down to our target over time, and we will. >> reporter: and the fed chairman says the committee is proceeding carefully based on economic risks. liz? elizabeth: okay. edward lawrence, thank you so much. let's welcome former u.s. treasury official, the chief economist of america first policy institute, he's michael

faulkender. how can he say that he's growing the economy with the middle class, you know, out toward the middle class? i mean, what do you make of these comments that he's middle class joe when more and more people peel like they're poor working man joe? >> this is the part of bidenomics that i've never understood, liz, which is when you have massive government spending, a lot of it through deficit spending, and then a regula story do state imposing enormous burdens on american workers, how can you say that is a bottom-up, middle-out economy? it is a government-sent trick, central planning, top-down economy, and that's exact exactly why with all of that spending and regulation, you've got this massive increase in demand from the government spending, supply being constrained by all of the regulation, and so we're seeing this increase in inflation. joe biden wants you to believe it's all about jobs. well, but if we borrow money and run massive deficits, that that's not growing the american

economy. that's just giving us the highest interest rates we've seen in more than 20 years. elizabeth: you know, the ism manufacturing index, it's in the 12th straight month of contraction for the manufacturing sector. again, let's watch president biden try to say the economy's fine. watch this. >> i ran for president to make sure the economy works for everyone. and, you know, when you bounce a few checks like i did, you know, when i was trying to get started, it -- anyway, that's over. [laughter] that's over. elizabeth: well, he's bouncing government debt spending checks. i mean, again, americans have seen, we calculated, it's between a 3.2-3.5% pay cut after inflation. prices have risen nearly 18% compounded under biden. 6, 77 out of 10 voters -- 7 out of 10 voters say the country is on the wrong track. emerson, monmouth, gallup, across the board, poling --

polling, 51% told monmouth middle class voters are not doing well. so we're in fantasy, like, in unicorn land here. >> we are. and the other thing is that you've trapped people into renting for potentially the foreseeable future because the price of houses hasn't really moved all that much, but the interest rates have more than doubled. and the result is that you've got people unable to make the kinds of monthly payments. so instead of building equity and starting home own i to -- ownership, they're staying in rental properties for a much longer time period. and biden doesn't want you to take that into account as well. the american people remember what it was like during the trump administration. we, too, had sub-4% unemployment rates, but we had mortgage rates down around 32. 5-3% -- 2.5-3%. elizabeth: this federal budget deficit is a big problem. watch former treasury secretary larry summers here. watch this. >> it seems to me that if you think about leaving revenue at a

time when our budget deficit is in the are trillions and -- in the trillions and is probably a more serious problem than it has ever been before, i mean that, more serious than during the simpson-bowles period, more serious than at the time when bill clinton came into office. elizabeth: the budget deficit, it came in at 5.3% of xdp. that's -- gdp. that's well above the average of3.8% over the past four years, and now the treasury department's planning to increase the size of its u.s. bond sales to pay for debt financing costs and rate rises. we're watching the bond yield withs. we know they trended down today, they're still trending toward 5%, the 2 and 10-year. >> yeah. and the thing is it's not a revenue problem we've got, liz, that larry summers said, it's a spending problem. we've been arming about 20% of gdp -- averaging about 20%, that number's been closer to 24, 25

prestigious universities like cornell, would be to side with jewish people and support them and especially those who are israeli. the sad nature of things is that a lot of people around the world have taken the opportunity to start to spew anti-semitic and anti-zionist hate speech after such a catastrophe could happen to our people. and the reaction was horrible. i mean, we saw it coming. we gnaw that until the university -- knew that until the university would unequivocally condemn what happened in israel on october the 7th and unequivocally condemn anti-semitism on their campus, until there isn't a public condemnation of these, of support for this and support for anti-semitism i'm saying, these things are going to happen, right? the student body -- and there are members among us, sadly, that are clearly anti-semitic and want the demise of the jewish state, and, you know, when you have professors on our

campus who haven't been fired or removed for making comments that the, you know, the massacres on october the 7th were exhilarating and excited him, right? why shouldn't the student body think it's okay to say those things? elizabeth: well, it's out of control. it's out of control. let's get your reaction to the white house on these -- these are domestic terror threats, period, pull stop. they're domestic terror threats against jewish people. americans. it's wrong. watch them not call them that, domestic terrorists or extremists. watch this. >> does president biden think the anti-israel protesters in this country are extreme theists? extremists? >> what i can say is we've been very clear about this when it comes to anti-semitism, there's no place -- >> reporter: the people in this country making violent, anti-semitic threats, are they domestic terrorists? >> i don't know that we're classifying people as domestic

terrorists for that. elizabeth: okay. this white house is a failure. you want to know why? the white house tried to the classify school board parents upset about toxic schools for their kids as domestic terrors terrorists. -- terrorists. the white house goes after trump voters as maga extremists. now you've got this confusion, this word salad constantly coming off the white house. it's like fighting with a flock of seagulls over your head every time you hear them. but now you've got this. i'll need your reaction to this. jewish students plan to sue elite universities like harvard and your school, cornell. they're talking to raw -- can law firms, gearing up lawsuits for violating the civil rights act. but then you've got 130 faculty members at columbia with university sparking an outrage claiming that hamas' terror massacre of 1400 israeli civilians including babies and seniors was, quote, a military action. this is anti-semitic indoctrination. this is domestic terrorism.

>> yeah. listen, i agree with you that it's completely deplorable, despicable. there are -- it's rile for professors at columbia -- vile for professors at columbia university to even insinuate anything other than the hamas actions as terrorism. full stop the, period, right? and the pact that it's happening on our college campuses is, in fact, grounds for a title vi violation, a right? at the end of the day, the fact that professors oz -- on these campuses are able to say these vile things towards and about the murder of j is ews, right, on our campus, we had a professor say that he was exhilarated by the murder of innocent civilians in their homes. and the fact that nothing was done about it and, in fact, there was support for it on our campus, there were students who said that a we have to stand by rickford. elizabeth: got it. netanel -- >> it's the terrible. elizabeth: it's terrible. thanks for joining us.

elizabeth: okay. donald trump jr. took the stand in the new york attorney general's case against him and his father, it's a civil fraud case. fox news' nate foy live outside the new york county courthouse with the story. nate, good to see you. >> reporter: good to see you, liz. just moments ago, donald trump jr. left the courthouse without saying anything to reporters. as far as his testimony today, it really centered around his education and his role at the trump organization, specifically his involvement in the preparation and signing of financial statements that new york attorney general letitia james claims contain fraudulently-overvalued properties. take a look at this video of don jr. arriving at about 1:00 this afternoon. he, his brother eric are both co-defendants in the trial

alongside their father, former president donald trump, and other trump organization executives. they all deny any wrongdoing. today the in court don jr. testifiesed that he signed the company's 20 the 17 statement of financial condition, but he also testified he didn't prepare that statement himself. he also testified about his role increasing at the trump organization when his father won the presidency. now, speaking of the former president, he posted about the judge today on truth social writing, quote: there's no victim except me. leave my children alone. you are a disgrace to the legal profession. ivanka trump is the only older sibling not named as a defendant in the case, at least anymore. she originally was, but an appeals case -- court dismissed the case against her because of the chute of limitations. however, she will have to the testify next week pending an appeal that she filed today. don jr.'s direct examination continues tomorrow. after that, eric will testify

followed by former president trump on monday of next week, and if the schedule holds, ivanka would testify on wednesday of next week, is and she'll be the final witness -- again, for now -- that the state will call before trump's lawyers can wring their witnesses to the stand. back to you, liz. elizabeth: thank you, nate foy. appreciate your journalism. let's welcome washington examiner chief political correspondent byron york. byron, your take on this case. >> well well, from the very beginning it's been this weird case in which we've had the verdict first and then the trial. it's not a jury trial. the judge has decided that trump is guilty, and everything we're going through right now is just to decide how much he should be punished. and we've had these weird situations where, you know, the banks that loaned trump this money made a lot of money, they haven't complained, nobody actually lost here. but the democratic attorney general of new york says, well, wait a minute. if the banks had known the true

valuation of trump's property, they could have chargeed more interest and more money. so so baseically we've had the state has put on an expert to say how much more money the banks could have made, and trump's attorney would say, wait a minute, we haven't had any evidence in this trial that the banks would have changed the terms of the loans. and the judge says, sit down, i've already decided you're guilty. we're just talking about numbers here. elizabeth: well, this is going to be in an appeals court pretty fast, that's what the former ther president is saying. >> yep. elizabeth: former president trump sued to stop michigan's top elections official from kicking him off the state's 2024 ballot. the former president is arguing they don't have the authority to do that. but, byron, i think you wrote about this. the same case in colorado. colorado, they're trying to kick trump the off too. is that a non-jury trial? so just a judge can decide whether trump can be on the state ballotsome just one person? -- ballot? just one person? >> well, it is just a jury -- excuse me, just a judge trial in

colorado. and this all goes back to the 4th amendment. -- 14th amendment. it's kind of fashionable in anti-trump circles now to argue that the 14th amendment, which is the post-civil war amendment that said that people who had engage gauged in insurrection by which they meant the civil war with, could not serve in office in the united states. and the argument is, well, january 6th was an insurrection, therefore, trump is unqualified to be taken off the ballot in 2024. so a washington group here in washington has recruited some local plaintiffs in colorado to sue to get trump taken off the ballot. so this is a judge-only trial. the judge is listening to it. the judge cannot -- elizabeth: it doesn't sound fair. it doesn't sound fair just to have one person decide. >> no. elizabeth: and we don't know if it's true of the other cases in the other 14 states where just one person, a judge, can decides to kick trump off. that's a big -- final word.

>> well, colorado it would be the secretary of state who would actually do that, but she's going to wait until after the judge makes a decision. and we know hat secretary of state has already called january 6th an insurrection. elizabeth: got it. byron york, thank you for your insights tonight. it's good to see you. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: the latest on senator josh hawley. he is a saying homeland security secretary mayorkas must be impeached. we also have story, anti-israel state department and dhs staffers praising hamas. they're still employed by the government. let's check in first with our friends jackie deangelis in for dagen and sean duffy. let's see what's coming up on "the bottom line." sean: tonight the house is voting to seven cure rashida tlaib. we have greg steube on that as well as minnesota, joe biden's going, and he's telling minnesota that he's working on behalf of rural americans. brian brenberg from "the big money show," also from minnesota

elizabeth: let's welcome back to the show congressman pat fallon from house oversight. it's good to see you again, sir. okay, this story. senator josh hawley says homeland security secretary mayorkas must be impeached. he says he, quote, systematically disregards u.s. laws, systematically misleads the american people and, quote, lies and lies and lies to congress and the american voter. the senator says he should be removed. what do you think? >> well, liz, thanks for having me on again. i completely agree with senator hawley as i do often times. in fact, i was the first member of the house to file articles of impeachment on alejandro mayorkas this particular congress because he is supposed to as the homeland security director maintain operational control of the southern border. he has long since lost that. he lied the congress, and he's lied to the american people. i completely agree with the senator -- elizabeth: are you guys going to move on that? >> i hope so. we have a new speaker now and we should.

i don't9 care if it's my articles or someone else's, but i'd love to the have a hearing to recommend to the full house to impeach mayorkas immediately. elizabeth: okay. let's watch this exchange with fbi e director christopher wray testifying yesterday. watch this. >> is the united states safer from foreign terror threats today? are we safer than when joe biden took office, prosecute day he took office -- from the day he took office? [no audio] >> what i would say to the you is that the terror threats have elevated, but i also think there are a lot of things the country as has done throughout law enforcement to be better prepared to deal with them. elizabeth: wait a minute. whoa, whoa, wait a minute. why the long pause? he couldn't immediately say we are safer under biden? he already testified that, you know, the terror threat level has hit a whole other level. >> well, when director wray, liz, as you saw there, his a anticipated, that was a

wink-wink, nod-nod, americans, read between the lines. of course we're not as safe as we were before joe biden took office. there's 73,000 special interest illegals that have been apprehended on the southern border, 6,000 from afghanistan, 3,000 from egypt. and iran and syria combined over 1,000. there were 60,000 the people that crossed -- 600,000 people that crossed that the border patrol couldn't even encounter because they were dealing with the millions that they were encountering. no, we're clearly less safe. elizabeth: we've got to get to this. senator chuck brass grassley is asking why the senate state department -- state department has not let go of an officer who repeatedly posts anti-semitic comments on his public blog, and homeland security employed a former spokeswoman for the palestinian labor organization. she's publicly mosted -- posted against israel. she's currently on administrative leave. what is happening in the government here? >> well, it's clear because they're not the only ones.

if you espouse far left wing viewpoints or rhetoric or hate, then you're tolerated within the federal government under joe biden. but if you were to the dare say if you were a white person to the say anything about a minority, you'd be fired immediately. now, all of those people should be fired immediately if you're espousing that kind of hate. i don't care what you look like or who you're directing it toward, we should have one standard. but if the liberals didn't have double standards, liz, they would have no standards at all. elizabeth: got it. congressman fallon, good to see you. fox news contributor joe concha is here. we've got vulnerable house democrats who risk losing their seat. apparently, they are taking buckets of cash if anti-israel democrat squad members. we're going to explain that next on "the evening ed different." ♪ ♪ in 99% of people over 50. it's lying dormant, waiting...

joining us now, fox news contributor joe concha, it's great to see you. how is israel hamas were going to play out with 2024 voters? daily color report based on federal election commission records democrat squad members like jayapal and others say action campaign fund to portable house democrats and a dozen possible state so for the democrat in 12 states getting back campaign money.

how will hit 2024 race? >> i think overall what we see in anti-semitism is is really having a negative impact, it's not fair to every democrat in congress or the senate but these are the most visible members of the house, the largest social media following so what they say and do has an impact and you look at the overall picture as it pertains to president biden, a poll just out shows 56% disapprove of biden's job performance and handling of it so can't be good to be not one but two wars and you get the feeling that all of these contributions to these democrats you talked about, they will not be returned anytime soon and we can see why the silent for democrat deafening when it comes to condemnation of the squad because they know how to fundraising.

there should be condemnation, universal for opposition to the iron dome which has saved countless numbers of lives, there should be condemnation for calling israel a racist state that practices particular rashida tlaib and omar upset time against the should be condemnation for continuing to spread the lie to the hospital and gaza was not bombed by israel, not even hit and hundreds were not killed yet they have tweaked up saying that so out of it and it's not good for the democratic party. >> it an issue of moral clarity, right? the way coverage is going, americans don't like to see palestinians, civilians killed, they don't like to see that. they doocy palestine voted in hamas to lead them and it's a terrace group that massacred infants and toddlers and children october 7. israel is not a racist state, israel said to gaza you can have the real estate, 2005, 2014 said

that but the issue is that it hamas in there, terrace hamas doesn't want a two state solution, they want to annihilate them. on the level of isis so you see the far left squad not acknowledging that and you see gop contenders acknowledging that, it's got to be -- it's going to hit the 2024 race. >> absolutely. when you see members of the squad demanding almost since minute one an immediate cease-fire while hamas beheaded babies, lit families on fire, murdered, 1400 people basically in their homes unarmed or a music festival, this is the worst we seen since the holocaust and today, promised to carry out more attacks like october 7 again and again until israel is wiped off the face of the earth. there is no negotiating just like you can't negotiate with al

qaeda or isis, they have to be met with force and you are right, images on our screens saying civilians are killed on both sides, something the american people do not have the stomach for but in the case of winding up hamas they realized perhaps there does need to be collateral damage to achieve that goal because as long as hamas is entrenched and gaza this will happen again and again and eventually it will hold more people into this conflict including iran and possibly united states so the stakes could not be higher. >> final word you are going to see the democrat party continue to slip. final word? >> you will and that is a shame. this should be universal after 9/11, rally around the president and how the country come together but we see a 50/50 split. >> we need you on this, you are terrific, thanks for joining us. with us tomorrow night, fo
