followed nancy pelosi's land mark visit to taipei on wednesday. >> it is a bullying and blustering. it is a firing these missiles, it is sending these planes in sensitive areas. it is simply a provocative response. but i will tell you, china is watching what we do in ukraine. >> u.s. officials believe that china's using policies of travel as a way to manufacture a crisis. we have certainly heard that before, when it comes to vladimir putin. the visit had earned bipartisan support president biden had admitted publicly the u.s. military advised the trip by pelosi was not a good idea. former un ambassador nikki haley wait in on how to combat chinese aggression today on fox news sunday. >> the way you prevent wars issue do not shy away from having the backs of your allies. and you let your enemies know what we expect of them. these temper tantrums are childish. and they are dangerous and they should not be doing them for the last thing we need to do is run from that.

>> elites that she supports bipartisan legislation introduced by senators lindy lindsey graham and menendez to restructure policy by do so by bolstering support for taiwan's democratic government help to enhance their defense capabilities. i wanted central news agency reports in response to china's military exercises, their army will hold live fire drills this week, eric sark alexander thank you, arthel. arthel: this week it is about bloodiest fighting between israeli forces and islamic jihad militants in over a year for this new round of violence began friday when his israeli strike killed a top jihadist commander in gaza, a second commander was killed saturday. house officials say at least 31 people have died in gaza including six children. trey yingst is live in israel now. where are you and what is going on? >> arthel, good afternoon break crate on the southern israeli city, you can see our live cameras here, incoming rocket

fire to this city. those streams of smoke are the trails from the rockets adjusted fired by islamic jihad inside the gaza strip. a number of them were intercepted by israel missile defense system and often the distance one slammed into the sea across from the position we are in. in the distance we can hear more explosions right now. the israelis are likely targeting, i want you to listen to that right there. targeting positions inside the gaza strip. this conflict is ongoing. the third day of fighting along the gaza border. despite reports indicating a cease fire is set to go into effect later this hour, between israeli and islamic jihad, you can see some of these images of the rocket fire that took place earlier today. i want you to listen to a person from israeli defense forces who spoke with fox earlier today describing how they are operating inside gaza.

>> our targets and objectives are very, very clear. to just label islamic jihad from terrorizing the people in the state of israel. they should no longer have that capability to target is really in tel aviv and jerusalem. and of course the main goal to return to the people of israel. >> inside because of the death toll is mounting with more than 30 palestinians killed but some civilians are among the dead. the majority are militants, two senior jihad were killed while hamas the group in control of gaza is yet to get involved in the fight. they'll come arthel the passive seen significant escalation on the gaza border when there is a round of conflict before a cease-fire goes into effect. that is what we're seeing right now with this rocket fire coming from the northern part of the gaza strip. and again, these southern city remains under attack at this hour. often the distance those explosions likely interceptions by israeli defense system the iron dumper.

>> trait we could hear the rocket fire in your life shut there. i could also hear someone screaming. so is there anything unusual? and i said the timing and intensity is usual but we are on the verge of a cease-fire agreement here. but, is there anything unusual in terms of where these targets are located? >> these are mostly at short range rockets being fired right now by islamic jihad. but throughout the day they have targeted entire southern part of israel. also the central part of the jewish state. jerusalem took rocket fire this morning for the suburbs of tel aviv, massive population centers inside israel taking fire from islamic jihad. you heard the screams, there are civilians here among the population but we spoke with one medic today in the southern city, this is a border town. he was just getting back from a call and he described what it was like for his family to be in this town and the tear his young 6-year-old felt said he could not sleep and he wanted to stay

the night in the bomb shelter because he was terrified of what was taking place in his community. it illustrates what is happening on this side of the border. but we cannot leave out what's happening on the other side of the border per there are around 2 million palestinians inside gaza. the majority are civilians who do not want to be caught in this fight. there similar families inside gaza, palestinians also suffering and terrified about what is taking place right now. the exchange of fire between israel and islamic jihad. arthel: great to point that out, regular people living their lives on both sides of the conflict. trey yingst thank you very much. eric. eric: as we vividly witness israeli citizens under attack by radical islamic terrorist. these attacks came as a palestinian islamic jihad secretary general of that movement, guess where he was visiting? where else, tehran. city with the regime president and other officials. some cha runs a hand behind

these threats and the attacks against israel. former prime minister of israel, has spent his life a warning about terrorism, the threat from iran and the palestinian terrorists and joins us now from tel aviv. mr. prime minister, always wonderful and great to see if we thank you for joining us on fox news. >> good to talk to you, eric. space bar it is and has been so well firsthand a generational battle for the west, for israel, the jewish people against this radical islamic terrorism. how can it be finally wiped from the face of the earth? >> well, you have to keep fighting it. it is a test of wills. you are quite right when you said islamic jihad the terrorist groups it's firing indiscriminately into israel, 560 rockets that's a 560 attempts to murder israelis. innocent civilians. they are guided by around their subsidiary of tehran.

so obviously we are engaged in a long-term battle. is is one of the civilizational battles the ones with the stronger will, the stronger commitment to freedom, the stronger commitment to our values ultimately win. israel has been winning for the places they are firing right next to the gaza border. they continued with the residents because people know we will hit them every time they try to hit us. and we built apartments their people, live there. it is a test of will. our will is stronger we are going to be these terrorists. >> 24 has been a change of a policy by israel employing what 14000 or so up to 20000 and they are sitting back watching the more radical effect could be that case, palestinian terrorist attack israelis. they know wait a minute, look at the progress your country is made. >> the first of all there is competition between the host moss islamic jihad. who can out radical movement. in the case of the dominant group in gaza, it was hit very

hard in a previous operation that we did, we just rolled them back, set them back ten years. we destroyed their attack titles, our senior commanders, we wiped out their aerial and naval capacity. and i think they have second thoughts before they enter it. they are trying to rebuild and reconstitute the losses including the economic losses for they have stayed on the sidelines. and that is okay but what is important to understand is ultimately, as long as you have a radical islamic group, terrorist group right next your doorstep, this is not thousands of miles away from state new york. this is a 5 meters or if you want, 40 miles from tel aviv. literally hundreds of meters from israeli communities. as long as you have that and they are committed to your destruction, you have only one course that is to be very strong. much stronger than them and hit

them every time. one of things we have to be strong at is to puncture their lives. this is one where the caught red handed. they say we in israel killed five children. i didn't tell you the truth this was caught on a video. those of five children were killed when islamic jihad rocket that was aimed at israel misfired, fell on these kids. they actually murder their own children in the process of trying to murder us. i think it is both a physical battle its moral and political battle. and frankly a public relations battle too but sometimes the main stream media does not cover the fact what they are telling is just lies. endued with the basic differences between israel and them? they fire at civilians while hiding behind civilians. we tried to target the terrorists while avoiding as much as we can civilian

casualties breed that is the difference between a free society, a democracy and these terrorist killers who follow this radical ideology. by the way they're not aiming at us. they are not aiming at us there aiming at you. we are the small state you are the big state. i sometimes tell my european friends i do not want to offend them, they are in middle size state we are this small state sitting on the front line defending freedom. the ultimate target given there really subsidiaries of ironic, ironic calling the shots for the big target is you. >> is what we represent in this country israel represents all free societies represent. and finally, mr. prime minister, what you say to those in america they always blame israel first. some in congress and voted against iron dome that saving lives now. what do you say to those who always point the finger you? >> i think they have got it backwards. israel is not the problem in the middle east it is the solution. many arab countries i made peace

with four arab states do you know why question what they realize they went to see the future but they want to have israeli technology. and frankly they rely on estelle protected them from the threat of ironic in radical islam. there's a big battle in the world today in the islamic world between the modernist and medievalist. they stand squarely with the modernists. the people who attack israel are basically standing with the medievalist. people want to bring back to the dark ages. they buy all this nonsense and propagate it. israel is a force for good parts a force for democracy. it's a force for stability. i will tell you one thing else, eric, israel is the best ally of the united states. we provided intelligence that is saved in many, many american lives. as long as we are in the middle east is not going to be overrun by the locks of ironic its proxies. and that serves our purposes obviously but also yours. quickset is certainly something

for the biting ministration to keep in mind. and finally, it's an unusual time because you are not prime minister through all these times for the interim prime minister is there. do you think you get a governing coalition to finally resume the office you held for so long? >> i think so. i think it's given israelis time to consider what the alternatives look like. they can appreciate the things we did and the things we will do. but, in times of crisis like this, there is no opposition, there is no coalition. we israelis, at least i do, unite behind the effort to stamp out the terrorism. we will have enough time for the politics like starting tomorrow. [laughter] when we have a cease-fire. >> former prime minister of israel, always a pleasure to have you here. you know firsthand the impact of islamic terrorism. you were a commando and was able to storm one and with your

brother jonathan of course lost his life the commander of that courageous mission. mr. prime minister, thank you and i know we will talk again. >> thank you erica. >> arthel. arthel: we are learning more about actress anne heche fiery car crash in los angeles but she remains hospitalized for charles watson is live with the very latest. charles, have you heard more from the woman who lived in the home heche car crashed into? >> hey hello arthel but we have not heard from her yet. do note neighbors and that mar vista area in l.a. were able to help her and her two puppies out ell, a lot of details that a lot of people are hoping to hear about. but those witnesses who saw this crash essay actress anne heche is lucky to be alive after the two crashes that ended with the 53 old actress driving her car

into someone's home and la's mar vista neighborhood. she was initially spotted on this ring a video camera ramming a blue mini cooper when she initially crashed into the garage of an apartment complex. moments later she crashes her car into a home because in the home's roof to kyiv in paris spoke to a witness who says he and other neighbors try to rescue heche before her car was engulfed in flames. >> we tried to extricate the woman from a carp reaction at the back of the car open. and asked her if she was okay. she replied she wasn't. then dave and iran to the back of the house she chose an alternative point to get in because the smoke was getting way too intense. >> what this is the near post heche says she had a vodka bottle the cup holder. fox news is not. in fact they tell the "new york

times" a driver was deemed to be under the influence. heche is joking about boozing in her latest podcast. >> doctor ron said we should be drinking vodka instead of wine. >> at it listen. >> we are drinking it with wine chasers. [laughter] >> again, arthel heche recovering in hospital and out being treated for severe burns. i don't know if any charges will be filed in this case. see fabric charles watson thank you. eric. before voting continues on the senate floor we could have a passage of the democratic bill that they are trying to pass later this afternoon. will of course bring life to you when we have it. they said it will reduce inflation but senator bernie sanders said it will have a minimal impact on that. so what exactly? white house correspondent jeff mason is here to tell us what is in that recipe. we will be right back.

arthel: live look now at the senate floor as the boat aroma of a democrat sweeping helping climate package is in democrat say the spending bill even some say that is not true.

>> i want to take a moment to say a few words about the so-called inflation reduction act. i say so-called because according to other economic organizations, who studied this bill it will in fact have a minimal impact on inflation. hey jeff let's get buck to send her sanders in a moment. right now jeff mason white house correspondent for reuters joins us great step-by-step take a look at what is in the bill, what sort of healthcare. imposing a new tax to extend obamacare coverage for three years, democrats want to cap the price of medicare patients would pay for insulin at $35. republicans say if you have a private insurance, there should be no cap. patients would pay the private insurance companies asking prices. what is the significance of these positions as they impact americans everyday lives? x good question, arthel put on

the letter police i believe the republicans succeeded in getting out for americans who are not covered by medicare pray there is some success on that side for them. in general, the overall goal of the healthcare part of this bill is to lower cost for americans paying for prescription drugs. one of the elements of it is to give the government the ability to negotiate prices on some prescription drugs. an insulin release under the medicare pays, is part of the overall package. >> let's look at taxes. democrats want large corporations to pay a 15% minimum in taxes. again, what is the direct or indirect impact on americans? >> well, sort of depends who you ask ask. america's work for corporation some people would argue that is

still in some ways a way of taxing americans. on the other hand, democrats wanted to have revenue to offset the spending in this bill. they believe from a fairness perspective having some companies that aren't paying any taxes at all because of various loopholes should have to do so. i cannot say specifically what the impact will be on average americans but there are two ways of looking at it. >> let's talk climate. 300 billion-dollar investment will be the largest the country has ever seen to spend on adjustments needed to address climate change challenges and support clean energy. so when it comes to tackling climate change, jeff, you could ask if not now, when? but what the democrats be more successful getting bipartisan support if they would address the climate crisis in a separate bill? >> well, they have not gotten so far.

climate change in this country, for some reason is quite controversial. it has become political by. >> click let me jump in there, excuse me, my question is not clear. what i mean is if they had taken climate change out of this bill and left in the healthcare and tax part of it, would they have gotten a better chance at having bipartisan support, that is what i mean. next i don't think the votes were there for a separate bill and climate change. i think that is why they put this into this one. that probably applies to a few of these. remember historically, arthel, this was a much, much bigger bill initially and they have reduced it to what is still a big number but focusing on some of their priorities and climate change as well for. >> yes like over 700 billion. now to the political scoring, does a 50/50 split indicate a legislative dysfunction? or does this bill in fact only benefit americans from one political party?

>> well, it certainly doesn't just benefit americans from one political party. does support policy goals that are largely from one political party. then you and i were just talking about some of them. it would have impact on people of both political parties in terms of the tax credits that are in there. there is no rule that says only a democrat can take advantage of tax credits for electric vehicles. or only a democrat or republican wind and energy firm have access to the tax credits available for clean energy. so it would have an impact for the whole country that doesn't mean the whole country supports it obviously. arthel: right, right think every been talking about it's in the news cycle is going to happen the votes going to happen we wanted to break down a little bit as to what is in there and why americans should be paying attention to this. i appreciate your explanation mr. reuters, white house correspondent jeff mason for.

>> you like that? [laughter] thank you. >> jeff is mr. reuters, absolutely spin in washington for so long for eagle pass, texas on the border of mexico is 1009 there's 67 miles from new york city. guests were some of those migrants because texas governor greg abbott is sending them there. newark city mayor eric adams though has a message for abbott. will tell you about that coming up. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein. pain hits fast. so get relief fast. only tylenol rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast for fast pain relief. and now get relief without a pill with tylenol dissolve packs. relief without the water.

>> hey arthel the result of the straw poll are in and former president donald trump still the most favored person and it comes to possible 2024 presidential run. when you look at these numbers it is not even close. attendees were asked about who they prefer, 69% of them went with the former president. compared to roughly 24% who preferred florida governor desantis. we should note when they removed a truck from the equation desantis was a clear winner. note major surprises especially look at what happened at the last seatback last february in florida very similar results. they are not surprised by the results and neither his former president trump as the moles running possibly again in 2024. >> it's very respected that straw poll comes out heavily covered and really something. it is really where the heart of conservative people in this

times square. nate foy in new york city with the latest on that, hi nay. >> greg abbott is not only promising he is delivering again. second bus full of migrants just arrived in new york city this morning. he sat mayor eric adams was there to greet them. take a look, the group arrived at the port authority bus terminal just like the first group a couple of days ago. but this time mayor adams said some migrants appear to be missing. he says 40 were expected on the bus but only 14 got off. now the obvious question is, what happened to the rest of them? >> they were forced on the bus with the understanding they're going to the locations they wanted to go to pay when they try to explain they were not allowed to do so for. >> mayor adam says he blames fear and confusion for those migrants being missing. and of course this comes to dates after the first bus of migrants arrived in new york city. you see that here. mayor adam says all migrants will be cared for by the city needs help from the biden

administration. >> we are going to send the right message, the right tone of being here for these families. but we need help also. we are reaching out to the federal government to tell them that we need help. we will be on the phone with the white house. they won't even speak with us and communicates so we can resolve with this real humanitarian issue and crises we are facing. >> eric, course the other city receiving migrants in texas a far as washington d.c. mayor there previously scripture city as a sanctuary for migrants as has adams here in new york were just like derek city, washington d.c. is having a hard time delivering on that promise. >> would bust more than 6500 illegal immigrants to washington d.c. and they cannot handle that one single challenge that we deal with that number every single day. >> governor abbott says he hopes doing this will force the biden

administration to finally acknowledge the crisis at our board of l send back to eric for. >> certainly texas governor trying to show first-hand, in their backyard or front yard in new york city and washington. nate foy, thanks nay. arthel: eric, thank you. today is purple heart debris time for americans to honor the brave men and women who were wounded in battle or paid the ultimate price serve our nation but marine corps sergeant candidate was deployed in afghanistan when he was severely injured by an ied. the purple heart recipient shares how he is working to ensure that no veteran is left behind. he is up next. heyyy!
