why didn't that caucus come together to solve the kevin mccarthy problem? >> we had discussions on it. republicans and democrats, of course, and the -- come the end of the day they perhaps were asking for too much. i don't want to get into too many details. not something the majority within our republican caucus was favorable to and frankly that comes first to me. i'm a problem solver, conservative problem solver rick but by compromising too much you give up the majority that the people gave us. we need to lead as a majority and we need to elect our speaker as the majority. >> dana: dan, 1 of 9 vying to be the speaker and more to come this week on all of that. thank you for joinings, sir. >> thanks, dana. [shouting]

>> dana: dramatic scene as israeli forces strike hundreds of military targets across gaza stepping up attacks to help reduce the danger for ground troops. i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. israel's military pounding gaza as ground forces mobilize along the border expanding by the hour. we mentioned this a moment ago. a second convoy of trucks filled with humanitarian aid has been allowed to enter gaza entering from the egypt crossing called rafah. meanwhile israel is facing rocket and mortar attacks from inside. >> dana: fox team coverage with all the latest developments. trey yengst along the gaza border. let's begin with greg palkot in northern israel near the border with lebanon. good morning, greg. >> you have the border about a mile away. so far it has been a quiet day but just in the last 20 minutes we saw an heard what we believe

to be was a hezbollah missile coming over that mountain behind us and then the blast of an iron dome israeli defense missile. a sign that things are remaining very active on this front which is an escalation between israel and hezbollah in the past week we've been here. the israeli defense force claims it struck get terror sites overnight. the latest toll 20 hezbollah fighters said to have been killed. seven israeli soldiers and civilians as well. learning that israeli fire power is hitting deeper into lebanon striking the lebanese coastal city. they get new attention. all this leading to casualties and evacuations on both sides of the border. residents in 43 towns and villages here in israel have been told to leave in the last

couple of days. that means as many as 100 to 200,000 civilians have had to flee. this as hezbollah ties up tens of thousands of israeli troops here. the big question right now, what happens when a promised land incursion starts by israel into gaza against hezbollah's ally hamas? iran and militants for the past several days are threatening to go big. analysts aren't 100% sure that is a done deal. dana, it's that lack of clarity of the militants overall intentions on this side of the country that is complicating jerusalem's tangled war strategy even further. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: meanwhile on the front lines near gaza rocket sirens blaring, hamas terrorists are still firing on israeli forces as the idf ramps up its strikes inside the gaza strip. trey yengst is live in southern

israel and what are you seeing before the sun goes down one hour from now? hello. >> good morning. overnight the israeli ramped up air strikes on the gaza strip as they said they would. 320 of them. they were aiming to get some of the cells along the border that could immediately target israeli forces when the orders are given to launch the ground invasion. we've seen more rockets fired into southern and central israel and attempted drone fire intercepted. we spent the day with unit 360, an organization going along the border here and going to different sites cleaning up the after math of that bloody massacre on october 7th. take a look. down the street from the sight of the music festival massacre you can see the bomb shelter with a bird painted on the outside. 20 to 30 people inside the shelter when the massacre took

place. we are told militants threw hand grenades into the shelter killing the people inside. we were just with unit 360, a unit responsible for cleaning the after math. you could see the shrapnel marks on the wall of the shelter. people were hiding. they were not soldiers but civilians trying to enjoy their weekend when this brutal assault took place. >> think about 20 or 30 guys inside this bomb shelter that can barely fit 20 people and they just throw grenades into the bomb shelter and it was a close place, have close, and everybody was smashed. it was horrible thing to see. >> this comes as we learn the number of hostages held inside gaza has risen to 222 people. inside gaza civilians still being told to head south ahead

of the ground operation. new images show another city where many people are living in tents now. he explains what the situation is like. >> we were expelled from gaza city. they said this is a safe area. now there is no safe space in all gaza. the strikes yesterday here were different than any other night and thank god we are still here. >> humanitarian disaster is developing inside gaza with more than 2 million civilians in need of medicine and aid. it is part of the reason you see the u.n. trucks heading to the rafah crossing. >> bill: a question about this invasion if and when it comes. there is a piece in "wall street journal" reminding us in 2014 it's been nine years since the idf went into gaza. it lasted two days and 13 israeli soldiers died.

what are you hearing now of targeting to soften up that northern part of the gaza strip to try to prevent as best they can a maximum loss of life? >> a great question. we're 17 days into the conflict. thousands of air strikes against the gaza strichlt it's exactly what the israeli are trying to do. they understand once ground troops enter there is an order of entry. d-nine bulldozers will enter and try to clear a path for apc carrying soldiers and tanks and infantry troops. they understand they will be ambushed right away. they have had weeks to prepare for the invasion into the strip. face ied, roadside bombs and car bombs. so it will be brutal urban warfare and part of the reason the israelis are waiting to go in. they need this time to prepare for what is expected to be a high casualty situation on both

sides. >> bill: trey yengst, southern israel on the border with gaza. republicans on the hill debating president biden's request for more than 100 billion of global aid that includes aid for israel, ukraine, and others. want to bring in mississippi senate republican roger wicker, ranking member of the senate armed services committee. nice to see you in person and good morning here. what is your sense of where republicans are on this or maybe the wider senate as to whether or not the grant the money >> we have a package that needs work. i think we can get it done. we need to make sure that the southern border part is border security and not sanctuary city money. we need to make sure of that. i think somebody else in the world needs to handle the humanitarian aid in gaza, not the united states taxpayers. >> bill: why? >> because i don't have any

confidence that hamas would let the humanitarian aid actually get to the right people. and there is a very strong likelihood it would go to help our sworn enemies. >> bill: to be specific on that. how much of the billion is humanitarian aid for gaza? i have 9 billion for israel, gaza and ukraine on the humanitarian. >> we have to scrub those numbers. this came out on a friday and we are still scrubbing it. but we need to make sure that the southern border is border security and we need to make sure that taxpayer dollars aren't going to help hamas get credit for feeding the needy. >> dana: senator cotton agrees with you. he said it is dead on arrival. we won't spend 3.5 billion to address the potential needs of

gazans functioning as a resupply line for hamas terrorists. >> right. i totally agree with him. he is a valuable member. the money needs to come from the international community. we need to give money to help our steadfast ally defeat hamas and prevent further terrorism in the middle east. >> dana: when you say border security money needs to be for border security give us three examples. what would that be and what -- how does it differ from what president biden thinks of border security money? >> we need to help finish the wall and actually i have legislation called the finish it act. and what i found out on my last trip to the border is we have these huge sections already manufactured for the wall. our government has been paying people to store those sections rather than put up the section of the wall we already have.

it is miles and miles and miles of wall. and this is now part of the armed services -- senate passed national defense authorization act. we have a couple of democrats supporting us and in the bill we're negotiating with the house right now. so the administration has actually in response to that been taking those sections of the wall and selling them off as basically army surplus for pennies on the dollar. one thing we need to do is insist these sections that have already been paid for and manufactured and ready to go be either erected by the united states or given to the states that will build their part of the wall. >> bill: we know the story well because we're the network covering the border for the last 2 1/2 years. sloe absolutely. appreciate that. >> bill: you are asking a democratic president to reverse himself entirely and continue construction of the wall that was suspended three years ago. >> we're being the co-equal

legislative body of the united states government according to the constitution who has the power of the purse. and i can just tell you republicans and democrats in the house and senate have voted for this provision of the finish it act and if the president has trying to give lip service a couple of weeks ago to building sections of the wall, there are sections we paid for get them put up. and if he refuses to do it and refuses to abide by the ndaa as it is passed and that he will have to sign, then we need to exercise our oversight responsibilities. >> bill: want to be clear. if you got what you wanted on border security would you get the money for israel, would you get the money for ukraine, would that pass in the current composition of this congress? >> i think it would. listen, the ukrainian soldiers are doing our work for us.

russia is our sworn enemy, vladimir putin is a threat not only to ukraine but to nato and the surrounding countries. they are doing our work for us. they are winning. they destroyed 50 tanks last friday. 50 russian tanks last friday. they aren't asking a single american soldier to go there and fight. we have a treaty obligation dating back to 1994 to help them. the same with israel. they are a 75 year ally of ours. they aren't asking us to go and fight, they just need the resources to defeat these brutal hamas terrorists who came in and as you know it's hard to talk about the unspeakable violence they visited on women and children and civilians. >> bill: thank you for being here. i think you have an uphill fight and see where it goes. >> i think republicans and democrats have a majority for

the good parts of this package. >> dana: a fight to come. thank you, senator. good to have you. scene at the border, another record at the southern border. agents tell us illegal crossings are worse than anything they've ever seen and some of those migrants are on the f.b.i. terror watch list. >> bill: we get new video of the brutal hamas attacks that day against civilians. in a moment here a woman whose brother and nephew were killed by terrorists shares her terrifying account when armed gunmen came to her front door. [shouting] because of your credit? here's great news. at newday we've been granted automatic authority by the va to make our own loan approval decisions. in fact, if you've had credit challenges and missed a payment along the way, you're more than five times more likely to get approved for the newday 100 va cash out loan.

>> dana: now to the southern border where customs and border protection say illegal crossings

in september are setting new records, the highest in cbp history. senior correspondent casey stiegel live in dallas with more. not sure it's a record the administration wanted to break. break it they have. >> indeed they did. the numbers were reported on a saturday. fox flight team drone continued to fly and capture images like these. check this out in eagle pass, texas where we have spent so much time a steady stream of migrants illegally crossing the rio grande river and turning them over to border patrol agents. september was the final month for fiscal year 2023 and another forward the record books. close to 270,000 migrant encounters reported. that brings the grand total for the year to under 2.5 million total encounters. that's the highest ever recorded. and of those, cbp says 169 were on the f.b.i. terror watch list.

that's up from 98 last year and it is more than the previous six years combined. >> the biggest piece of this number that concerns me the most is the people that they arrested on the terrorist watch list. 18 in one month. in four years we got 14. that's my biggest concern. >> fueling the concerns the number of gotaways, those who successfully evade law enforcement and not taken into custody. law enforcement officials say there were some 1.7 million of those last fiscal year and cbp sources tell fox since october 1st, there have been more than 23,000. that's more than 1,000 every single day since they started this brand-new fiscal year. dana. >> dana: casey stiegel. this will be words that the members of congress as we were talking to senator wicker will want to see something in the supplemental to deal with it.

>> bill: a lot in that report. a former yuma sector border patrol agent started his career in el paso. thanks for coming back here. the last point that casey was reporting on, 1,000 gotaways a day in the month of october? what are we doing? >> it's not surprising given the lackluster response this administration has had since day one on the border. you know, just based on your reporting and listening to what mr. holman side. they alarm me. people on the watch list from places that really aren't our friends and they are getting into the country. thank goodness our agents are catching them. when you look at the numbers of gotaways, that's just ridiculous. who is that population, right? criminal aliens, would be terrorists. we don't know. it should alarm every one of us. it's a shame it has taken something like the war in the

middle east to make people think about what we've been talking about for the last several years. >> bill: and that's the point now. that's the point because here is what you get. the feds are warning that hamas and hezbollah could be crossing the southern border, all right? now as you see the terror watch listen counters now, casey said 169, i see 172 on the board. whether it's 169 or 172 it doesn't matter. it is too many on the terror watch list who have been caught. >> i think that the high number includes northern border. but our agents are vigilant doing their job when they can get out there and do the job. we need to focused on secure this border. it is what we've been talking about and while i was still chief in yuma and since i retired. we have the ability to do it. we had the plan if place. we were securing the border to the best it has been in 25 years of my career, but this is just

gone too long. as the senator mentioned in the early report. the material is there. the plans are there. we just need to do it. you know, for us to sit there and be naive like what we're seeing overseas couldn't happen over here. we're in a different world and have to secure the border and make this country safe. we talked about every town is a border town. every state is a border state and we have to protect this america's front line through our policies, through our infrastructure adding more border patrol agents and getting all three of those government entities, legislative, judicial and executive to get on board and get things done. stop bickering. get a budget passed. keep america safe. >> bill: two more things here. how many on the list are those connected to terror groups south america? we think of isis and al qaeda. >> won't get into too much

detail. a lot of them are related forsouth american entries, people with relations. the watch list is people that have some kind of affiliation. i know from my experience a lot of them came from south america when i was in yuma. we don't know and i don't have that fidelity at this point nor could i really talk about it if i did. it is alarming and a reason why they're on the database. that is what the american people and people listening here need to understand. a reason somebody is on the database and a reason they are trying to come here. >> bill: san diego local field office, this is what they write. foreign fighters motivated by ideology or mercenary soldiers of fortune may get travel to or from the u.s. or to or from countries in the middle east through mexico. you are aware of that, aren't you, chris? >> that's the route of travel. that is what has happened whether these are economic migrants, people that are

fleeing or people that have ill will toward the united states that's the route of travel. again, we need our allied nations and mexico is an allied nation to help us in this fight to keep people from entering mexico coming from areas that sponsor terrorism and sponsor groups that want to do harm towards the united states. the route of travel and those comments are real and we need to be aware and be alert. i have no doubt our men and women in the border patrol are taking care of business but they have to be able to do their business 100%. >> bill: chris clem on the border. thank you for your time today. >> thank you. >> palestinians will be free. >> dana: protests over the war between hamas and israel convincing another big donor to cut dice with an ivy league school closing his checkbook over its failure to take a stand against anti-semitism.

>> dana: a live look in rafah, gaza at the border crossing. it appears that some unicef trucks have arrived. this would have aid. remember, this is one of the things where the innocent people in the gaza strip do need aid. the problem is hamas will often take those supplies and give them to the militant soldiers and terrorists and keep them from the civilians. so everyone said they'll keep an eye on this and we will, too. right now unicef arriving at the gaza crossing. >> bill: the u.s. says it is standing shoulder to shoulder with israel but has yet to call for a cease-fire.

leaders in washington say that our own national security is at risk. >> the iranians are a threat to us as well and so this is an emergency. it's an emergency that we step up and deal with this axis of evil, china, russia, iran because it's an immediate threat to the united states. >> bill: with us now noah rothman, senior writer, national review. thank you for coming in today. did that surprise you when mcconnell linking the three countries together? >> it was heartening. he is right. he is echoing something the president has said but going further. emerging axis, all operating towards one goal. putting an end to the age of american dominance. doing so on a variety of fronts

and the west needs to acknowledge that and what we must do in order to counter that assault on the american people. >> dana: one of the things he is pointing out is that we have a lot of adversaries and they are linked with connections. north korea isn't on the list but they are providing weapons. >> there is additional traffic. we think russia has been asking them to support them with ordnance. looks like they have done that. american commentators sometimes say distinctions. they don't observe those. russia is taking high level meetings with hamas and cream twice. and russia supports the syrian regime. iran supports the russian effort to supply them with weapons, drones, rockets for the war in

ukraine. china supplies russia with components for its weapons. china is orchestrating to get into the middle east. it would do them a world of good for the palestinian them. it polarizes the region against the united states. >> bill: we had an american woman on last hour and was at the music festival and she said this is not a palestinian issue. this is an issue regarding killers that belong to hamas and if people understood that distinction there wouldn't be this cloud of the moral clarity would be more in focus is the argument she is making. >> that's right. something that the sunni regimes in particular in the region understand. the populous at the street level is a little different. these regimes are conscious of the sympathy that their citizens have for palestinians broadly. they, those regimes, need to have the stomach to be able to

articulate that to their populous to say there is no united palestinian issue here. there is is distinction to be made between the palestinian people and hamas. they alied to advance their own political objectives. it has done them no favors. the distinctions do not exist and impress upon regimes in riyadh and elsewhere to be honest with their populations. >> dana: quick reaction to this. the "wall street journal" headline biden wanted to end forever wars as he called them and now he looks like a wartime president. >> i don't know if he would conceive of himself that way. the sooner he does the better. we have two carrier groups in the region now. the clear implication is that iran is now behind attacks on united states occupied positions in iraq that the iranian aligned regime the houthis in yemen are

firing off missiles that we're getting rid of it. is time the united states recognize what is already happening on the ground and talk about it honestly. >> bill: i think they do. and to that question that's posed about a wartime president. if you watched cbs on sunday antony blinken was asked why not support a temporary cease-fire? he did not blink in his answer that he believes that israel needs to do what they need to do in order to accomplish this mission now. >> they must. no other nation on earth would be asked to countenance what those calling for a cease-fire are asking to say we'll just put the barriers back together and the populous will have to live with a sense of apprehension and understand at any point at any time this regime can execute a genocidal attack like the one they last did and you just have to pit back and tolerate it. no other country would be asked to tolerate that.

these are the allies. the other side is adversaries. you have to acknowledge the side you are on and join it. >> bill: nice to see you. please come back. >> appreciate it.

the u.s. homeland but f.b.i. officials are worried about lone wolf attacks. they put out another bulletin last week to law enforcement agencies on local and national level last week worried about the threat environment since hamas provoked the attack on israel two weeks ago. last night on 60 minutes they spoke about terrorism in the wake of the initial hamas attack. >> we need to have our people in the community, when they see something, starting to go awry, calling law enforcement. the attacks we've been able to prevent over the years have almost always included somebody who has made that phone call. >> the head of canadian intelligence says they need to do soul searching in the wake of hamas attacks. i spoke with director wray about this. >> is anything being done differently than the f.b.i. is doing things to make sure

everybody stays safe. >> as part of our analysis of the situation and our approach to the situation, we're constantly making sure that we have the latest intelligence, that we are looking at all the intelligence that's available in the right way. >> here at the department of justice, doj attorney general garland has directed all 94 u.s. attorneys offices to work with the muslim and jewish communities to make sure people are safe and feel safe. >> bill: david spunt. more to come d.o.j. nice to sigh. -- see you. [gunfire] >> dana: we're learning more how hamas pulled off this brutal campaign. witnesses say terrorists wore idf uniforms and detailed maps of synagogues and shelter. this jarring video was taken by our next guest. her ring door camera caught the

moments before hamas terrorists continued their rampage. she survived the initial attack but her brother and nephew were murdered and she joins us now. thank you for this. in your grief you are being gracious enough to tell us what you saw that morning so that we can all understand what it was like for you there that day. were you awake? did you see the ring camera live? >> no, i have to clarify something. actually i wasn't on the scene. my brother and my nephew were there. what happened was my brother and nephew lived in the southern city and that weekend they had hosted a weekend for 80 kids with special needs and as chap reasons. they do it every year that weekend. the person who started it is my nephew who you see on screen at

the moment. my nephew has been volunteering in many, many charitable organizations and so did my brother. saturday morning october 7th they heard the missiles in their house. the first thing they did was to take all those kids into a safe room in the house and then my brother went outside to try to see what's going on with the shelters. he realized that the shelters were locked so he called his son and said it is locked and we'll get keys for the shelters. the reason they were locked is usually it is out of the area of fire in this city. it is far enough to stay away from the missiles and rockets on a normal day. therefore shelters were locked. unless they open them only when we have information that they are aiming towards the area.

october 7th there was no such information. the shelters were locked. my brother called his son and said we have to run outside and unlock the shelters. open the shelters. and they ran to -- their plan was to drive to get keys and open all the shelters. and as they drove at this point, the city is 30 kilometers from gaza and all agriculture area. the first line of houses is a brand-new neighborhood established by my brother and they all have safe rooms within their houses. the terrorists did not aim for that neighborhood. they entered the second neighborhood knowing that it is a very old neighborhood and people don't have safe rooms in their houses. therefore, during sirens they

have to run outside to the safe rooms. >> dana: i want to -- >> the terrorists waited for them to come out and the people came outside and they simply slaughtered them. they waited and shot at people as they were running to safe rooms. the pictures that we saw at the moment were from another neighbor's surveillance camera and basically the terrorists, as you can see, were dressed in idf uniforms and they knocked at people's doors for whatever reason and once people opened the door they tried to send bombs into the house, exactly what happened to the house we see at the moment. >> dana: your brother -- they helped save many people but in the fighting they lost their lives. and what would you like everyone

to know about them? they sounded like they were very compassionate people hosting 40 children with special needs and 40 chaperones and getting them to safety. >> he was a very public figure in israel and he established an organization for building unity within israel. he believed that all citizens of israel are equal and we have to find the things we have in common and not separate from each other. that was his passion. to help all people in need. he also worked in the international community with baseball study. thought every person should study the bible in their own way. they spoke to archeologists and everything else.

his son carried on that passion and volunteered in many organizations for special needs kids, kids battling cancer or severe mental problems. that's what they loved doing. on that weekend, as i said they went to get the keys and they were gunshot. >> dana: i'm going to have to try to wind it down here and we're running out of time on this moment. the idf released some very disturbing video but it is important for all of us around the world to know what hamas did and to recognize wonderful people like your brother and your nephew who lost their lives fighting for israel. thank you for coming on and sharing your story with us. >> may we all stay safe together. >> dana: stay in touch with us. thank you. >> bill: what a story. when will the israeli army go

into gaza? a war in its third week as way we await a military move. >> bill: major american donor telling his own school no more.

"the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> bill: thank you. see you in a few moments. bill air alumni and wealthy donors for some of the more prestigious schools in the country pulling back funds in response to anti-israel rallies on campus including david magerman, when went to the university of pennsylvania. sir, good morning to you, david. thank you for your time. >> good morning. >> bill: before i get to what you said and what the university said, can you tell me what was said on campus that you say whoa, whoa, whoa, this is not cool. this is not right. this does not represent the school i went to and have given a lot of money to. >> well, i think it has been a gradual progression downward trend of what was being said on campus over the last few years. more recently there was a festival called the palestinian rights festival supposed to be a literature festival but the speakers that populated the

festival were people with affiliations to hamas, anti-seam seamites and ant ago nastic to israel. no efforts made by the administration to speak out against the conference. i understand there is freedom of speech but when things are going on that are affiliated with evil, i think you have to take a stand. they were unwilling to call out the speakers that were invited and express disdain for what was going on there. >> bill: there was no action anyone at penn can take to change this. you have shown me who you are. my only remaining hope is that all self-respecting jews and moral citizens of the world disassociate themselves from penn. it's quite a statement. you are saying i won't give another dime to that school. >> i think it's more than that. i think we have to -- there has

been a history in supporting colleges that we look retrospectively at the school we went to 30 or 40 years ago that we have an affinity for and we donate once we have made whatever wealth we have, we donate to the schools decades later presuming that our values are the same as they were when we were younger and the school's values are the same. we need to be looking at institutions that are currently reflecting our values and consider donating not based on our historical affiliations but based on what we want the world to be and sending our children to schools that represent our values as well. >> bill: the president came out liz mcgill. do you know her well? >> i do not know her. >> she came out and said alumni, you are important members of the penn community. i hear their anger, pain and frustration and am taking action to make clear that i stand and penn stands emphatically against

the terrorist attacks by hamas and israel and against anti-semitism. why isn't that good enough for you? >> because it's a negotiated statement. if that is what she really felt she would have said that from the beginning. secondly, that's not the point. the point is not to make a statement against an action that they saw that people protested against. the point is to claw at evil. what hamas did on october 7th was undeniably evil. if nazi atrocities exposed in the 40s and concentration camps were revealed you would expect any kind of moral institution to stand up and call it out for evil. you wouldn't equivocate and say it's -- shame on what happened, it's horrible but let's feel bad for the poor nazis who died in the war because we attacked them. i think there is an equivalence here that we are not -- the

university of pennsylvania is not willing to call out evil and act against it in the name of remaining neutral. >> bill: thank you for your time. i thought the window was real small for the schools to get it right. a lot didn't. you need to draw the distinction between the palestinian people and hamas killers and i think that's the point you are trying to make again today. david, good luck to you. thank you, sir, for your time. >> thank you so much. >> dana: that's leadership. >> bill: that's right. the one thing we learned from that young woman with us at 9:00. she was an extraordinary person and hit the nail on the head. >> dana: a big day to come. a lot of big decisions made in washington. >> bill: be in the afternoon with smitty. >> dana: i'll see you on "the five." "the faulkner focus" is next. here is harris. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. israel is ready. howevesi
