how you use them. >> laura: it is crazy out there. everyone should remember that remember john anderson, polling 24%, but election day he got 6% of the vote, that was a big flop. >> well, ross perot in june of the election, he was ahead of bush and clinton, he was 39% and he dropped, he didn't run a good campaign and did not know how to run a campaign. the reality is, i assume kennedy will have some numbers, i don't think they will stay. >> laura: ded, great to see you, the optimistic warrior. up next, jesse watters. >> carley: fox news alert, president biden set to formally answer questions for the first

time when he appeared alongside the australiian prime minister in the white house rose garden this afternoon. idf forces say a top naval commander for hamas has been killed and they have taken out 21 senior hamas leaders since the start of the war. you are watching "fox and friends first." i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. the world is watching iran. israel says tehran attacked yemen, iraq and lebanon. u.s. forces have come under attack 14 times in the last week. at least 14 u.s. sefrs servicemembers injured in the attacks -- 10 more are feared to be hostages. now our naval presence in the middle east is growing, seven

ships stationed in the region or on their way there. trey yingst live in israel with the very latest. trey. >> trey: todd, carley, overnight israelis continued with airstrikes trying to take out as many hamas commanders as possible. they are working day and night to lay groundwork for the operation into gaza. take you through what it was like overnight. on the border we heard small arms fire at the beach of kazim. who hamas militants were killed in the sea. hamas divers trying to get into the territory. hamas is trying to target israel as the war entered 18th day. rocket fire continued. there has been some development

in the west bank. overnight israelis used a drone to take out a cell of militants, killing three palestinians. the group hezbollah continues to fire on israeli territory. today there has been one antitank guided missile attack. the regional tension over concerns that iranian proxies could get involved. >> carley: yesterday president biden spoke with saudi arabia crown prince salman. it seemed significant considering saudi arabia and iran recently normalized relagszs, do you think saudi arabia could sway iran on decisions they make and whether or not to escalate the situation

in the region. >> trey: more sway than the united states or israel. of note that they had this conversation, president biden and crown prince salman. what happens to peace talks between israel and saudi arabia? factor of gaza may be different in all this, it appears in long-term they will try to normalize ties because saudi arabia sees israel same way united arab emirates and morocco, economic development and tourism. this massacre and the war erupts ing right now with saudi arabia. >> todd: this attempt to invade by sea you mentioned. security experts call it basic suicide mission in light of the fact the idf is so on alert for

anything right now. knowing the region as well as you do and knowing how infiltrations can be successful or not successful, what is point of attempted invasion like this, do you think? >> trey: it was absolutely a suicide mission, israelis locked down the beach and sea and have naval ships off coast of gaza and israel. they have infantry along northern part of gaza strip. trying to infiltrate this deep into the war does not make sense, but neither did the massacre. there is a frog man units, trained scuba divers who try to get into israeli territory in the mediterranean and try to attack israelis on the beach at zakeem. hard to wrap your head around what the purpose of that may have been. not the only time hamas and jihad have tried to attack israel from the ground or sea and seen video of the navy

firing into the water and killing any militants there. >> carley: news the pentagon is in planning phases, good news that the pentagon is planning to send two u.s. drone systems, that has to be welcomed for israel, considering a major concern is their iron dome system could get overwhelmed if hezbollah gets involved in this war? >> trey: israel needs all support they can get, understanding gaza is not the real threat, they have iron dome battery in the south that did intercept fire. some does slip through. they are worried about precision-guided missiles smuggled from iran to lebanon into southern part of that country and currently being aimed at israel by hezbollah. talks about hundreds of

thousands of missiles. we have seen targets israelis picked out, command centers and the areas they fire rockets from. the concern is the north and that is part of the reason western allies are trying to get as much military aid here as possible. >> todd: trey yingst with sound of building or rebuilding behind him. trey, thank you. meantime, president biden will take questions for first time since the start of the war today. >> carley: the president will appear this afternoon at the white house, brooke singman has more. good morning. >> brooke: good morning, president biden facing questions in the weeks following the attack on israel and expected to address them in a few hours, taking part in a rose garden press conference with australiian prime minister. this will be the first time since the war began, that he can

answer questions formally. he's taken informal answers from reporters, like this one. watch. >> are you urging israel to delay the ground invasion, sir? >> president biden: israel is making their own decisions. >> brooke: press conference comes day after blinken confirmed 33 americans were killed by hamas. >> where is the outrage? where is revulsion? where is the rejection and explicit condemnation of the horrors? we must affirm the right of any nation to defend itself and to prevent such horror from repeating itself. no member of this council, no nation in this entire body could or would tolerate the slaughter of its people. >> brooke: meanwhile, families of american hostages being held

in gaza and survivors of the super nova music festival massacre lobbying demanding lawmakers do more to get their loved ones home. you will hear from those families this morning on "fox and friends." >> carley: john kirby says a ceasefire would only benefit hamas. brooke singman, thank you. a lot of new twists and turns in the house speaker saga. republicans picked congressman mike johnson as fourth nominee and he's hoping for a floor vote this afternoon. >> democracy is messy sometimes, but it is our system. this conference that you see, house republican majority is united. >> todd: messy is one word to call it, plus dig into the breaking news from every onnight with israel directly linking iran to the attacks in iraq and syria. congressman ronny jackson was in the classified briefing on iran's threats to the united states and will join us live. don't go anywhere.

>> janice: well, hello, everyone. are you excited for a little weather? we have a lot going on. winter storm in the west. couple cold fronts across the central u.s. and it will be 82 in new york city over the weekend. let's look. a front will bring heavy rain for texas through oklahoma up to the great lakes. flash flooding is a concern, but this is a good news situation. they need the rain. we are into a 12-inch departure for dallas, 10 inch for austin. they could get three to five in dallas and tulsza. here is our first winter storm of the season moving into the

northwest. we get this kind of thing for thisirria. we will see a lot of moisture pumped in from the pacific. heavy snow along the low and the front as it continues to move eastward and winter storm warnings in effect, upward of foot or more from the cascade to rockies toward northern plains. that is big through friday and then here in the northeast, holy molly for the next five days, i think we'll see the potential for above average temperatures. we get into tomorrow and even the weekend, friday and saturday, look at we get into saturday, 82 in new york. holy molly. and looking to halloween, if i could, not too bad forecast for trick-or-treaters. we used to have snow suit under the costume, my mom would size

up. >> todd: classic canada. >> carley: ruins the princess costume, doesn't it? >> janice: we are okay here. >> todd: overnight israel directly blaming iran for aiding hamas before the war offering training, money and weapons. idf says tehran ordered recent attack in yemen, iraq and lebanon and with iran sending threats to the white house, the white house promises to respond. >> the united states does not seek conflict with iran, we do not want this war to widen, but if iran or its proxies attack u.s. personnel anywhere, make no mistake, we will defend our people, defend our security swiftly and decisively. >> todd: american troops stationed on u.s. bases in middle east have been attacked 14 times, at least 24 hurt in the attacks.

the advisory board chair of the organization of iran ian communities joins me now. my problem with blinken's statement follow. u.s. personnel have been attacked, yet there has been little swift or decisive action from this white house. your thoughts? >> you are absolutely right. this regime has been a strategic threat to peace and stability in the region. end of the day, the head of the snake is in tehran and we have to look at the root cause of the conflict. has been waging war on its own citizen. massacres across iran, we saw in the protests last year. we saw it in the protests in 2019, the massacre. the words can go so far, need to be backed with firm policy on iran. we need to deal with iranian problem with the way that the people of iran are calling for

the change of this regime from within and the change will come by the iranian people and that is how you need address the root cause of this problem. only the ayatollah will benefit from war in the region because of the fact trying to shield themselves and cover their inherent weakness and facing inevitable overthrow by people of iran. >> todd: the strategy thus far has been appeasement. are you saying that we should actively support opposition forces in iran to overthrow the current regime there? >> you know, just 12 hours before this conflict broke out in the middle east, former secretary of state mike pompeo was visiting with the leader of

the iranian in paris and this is what he says. he says serious factor in policy has been lack of political support for the iranian people right to overthrow the regime and recognize and organize opposition group, which is the nek. what we need to do is look at the facts and understand what does the future hold? do we want future of war and conflict in the region or peace and stability? secretary mike pompeo added future of policy toward iran has to be centered around support of this organized opposition and increasing pressure on the regime to this regime. there are specific steps that the u.s. administration can take to really address root cause in dealing with head of the snake in iran and that includes stopping appeasement, choosing a solid strategic policy on the

iranian regime so people of iran empowered to bring the regime down. >> todd: how far can iran push provocation of the united states before we actually do act and does that action involve what you just discussed? we will see. it does seem like mike pompeo versus what we have now, mike pompeo is better approach than the biden administration. dr. acceptehrad, we appreciate it. thank you. here is break from the pro-hamas protest we've been seeing on campuses. a college basketball coach proudly standing with israel, teaming up with players to send food, clothes and supplies to the area. >> carley: coach bruce pearl joins us next.

>> todd: today students will

stage anti-israel walkouts, by students for justice, calling for the white house to stop supporting israel and impending ground invasion of gaza. walkouts are expected to happen in 100 colleges, including columbia, princeton and university of california. we'll have live coverage of the demonstrations throughout the day, including at nyu at 1 p.m. eastern. unreal. >> carley: college basketball top coaches is doing what he can to support israel, helping put together a charity event to pack boxes of supplies, clothing and food. over 50 people attended the event and in total $7000 was raised and coach bruce pearl helped organize the event and he joins me now. thank you for joining us. tell us about this event and what you are doing to help out? >> carley, it breaks my heart to

see students across our country protesting against israel after they saw the genocide. i love this country and i'm grateful for its support as an american jewish college basketball coach. we have jewish students on campus that are scared. just days after october 7, we got together and said, coach, we have to do something. church of highlands along with our student jewish group got together and said, let's get humanitarian bocks together for aid and write notes to soldiers and childrens and moms and do do something positive in support of israel. >> carley: 15 people were supposed to come to the event, 50 people showed up, it must have been good to see that level of turnout. >> we just wanted to be together and try to do something positive

and we -- again, it is so disturbing to see the rise in the antisemitism in this country and just days after the world's greatest genocide since the holocaust. we felt we wanted to do something. 33 americans were killed by hamas terrorists. it's just disturbing to me to watch people in this country supporting an organization that supports this kind of terror. this group here was proud to stand with israel. >> carley: how do you feel when you see these protests taking place across college campuses and there will be more to come, supporting palestinians, pro-hamas protest following a brutal horror attack that killed 33 americans, more americans are hostages. the brutal murder of children

and rape of women, how do you rationalize that? >> i can't understand it, it goes to show you how deep the roots of antisemitism are. i don't know if any organization is calling for death and destruction of entire race of people. when they chant from the river to the sea, they mean every jew from jordan river to mediterranean sea, six million in that number, they want dead and all israel has done for 75 years since existence is simply defend itself. this time the world has seen they just have gone too far. israel is looking for partners of peace. there are two million israeli-arabs living in israel and peace and prosperity, doctors and lawyers and in education and healthcare and living a really good life, but there are about a million palestinian or other arabs that don't want to live in peace and clearly demonstrated that.

right now there is just got to be change and i pray to god that this is an opportunity to find other peace partners in israel that want to live as their neighbor and live in peace and prosperity. >> carley: so many people join you in that prayer. this terror,a tack occurred on the back of news that israel was trying to normalize relations with saudi arabia for lasting peace. what do you think the future of israel looks like? >> god made certain promises about what god will look like, in my mind, that is what it is going to look like. right now israel has become the land of milk and honey and israel has grown and developed and flourishes and i'm grated for the abraham accord and many,a rab states recognize israel is a great partner and can be a great friend and we

really did sort of have iran and some of the islamic extremists in a place they were not the majority of the arab world. i'm praying for peace and praying israel is able to accomplish the things it needs to militarily and the enemy is defeated with as few casualties as possible. israel has to do what it has to do and find partners for peace. >> carley: you are doing a great thing in sending care packages to children who need them and getting young people involved in the positive effort. thank you for joining us this morning, we appreciate it. >> carley: california governor gavin newsom is in china reportedly set to meet with chinese president xi jinping and at home some say the governor is setting stage for a white house run. >> todd: did you see this -- >> who is -- >> president joe biden calling

(bridget) with thyroid eye disease i hid from the camera. and i wanted to hide from the world. for years, i thought my t.e.d. was beyond help... but then i asked my doctor about tepezza.

>> carley: chinese state media says california governor gavin newsom is meeting with president xi jinping during his trip to beijing. the governor met with top officials amidspeculation he is going to run for president. discuss the issue of low carbon and talk about strategies and share ideas and ideaism around our transition and our efforts to decarbonize. >> todd: california republican slamming the governor's trip to california with michelle steele saying governor newsom effort to cozy up to the chinese communist party is delusional. joe concha only delusional when he thinks his bears are going to win, he does join us now. >> joe: which was last week. >> todd: he's trying to appear

presidential in case joe biden doesn't run, obvious. but making nice with the biggest threat to the united states is odd way to do it. >> joe: goes overseas to talk about climate change, who is the world's number one polluter? china, india and russia on the list. he met with a company he gave $1.4 billion to for covid masks during the pandemic, remember the mask he did not wear during the french laundry and the super bowl. you don't make trips like this unless you think you are in the bullpen saying bring in newsom, biden out. you want to look like you have international -- >> carley: he is governor of california meeting chinese president xi jinping. on top of that, if he is planning a white house run, i mean, this could absolutely backfire on him.

he's playing nice with china and saying despite possible geopolitical issues that could take place, he wants to partner with china on climate change. >> joe: more people died of covid in california more than any other state in the country. do you think he asked tough questions -- >> carley: i wonder what biden thinks about that. >> joe: or kamala harris, he is usurping this whole thing, if not for 2024, probably for 2028. he thinks his destiny is to be president of the united states. >> todd: making nice in the first topic. watch this, hillary clinton heckled over warmongering. watch how she responded. >> who is -- >> warmongering speech, president joe biden calling for 100 million in funding for israel, taiwan and ukraine and

supposed to bundle these together and -- >> i'm sorry, you know, this is not -- this is not the way to have a conversation. if you want to have a conversation, you are welcome to come talk to me afterward. >> okay, right. yeah, you will wait for me, right? >> i will wait for you and i will listen to you and respond to you -- >> i do not believe -- >> just -- >> american people's voice waiting to be heard. >> they are being heard. >> the president is not speaking for the american people. >> that is your opinion, sit down, we heard your opinion. >> joe: i like the sit down line, no soup for you would have been better in this situation, that is the way to go. hilarious that hillary clinton used to being a big-time protester and now she is being

protested and did not like that very much. she will get challenged in a meaning full way. the panels, never challenged there. the gentleman had a point we are sending billions of dollars to ukraine, to gaza to israel to taiwan. the world is not a very safe place and we'll have a bad path and hillary clinton did not like being called out. >> carley: karine jean-pierre asked about antisemitism two days ago now and she dismissed the question and yesterday responded to the backlash. she says she misheard the question, listen to her here. >> what is his level -- >> when jews are targeting because of their beliefs or their identity, when israel is singled out because of anti-jewish hatred, that is antisemitism and that is unacceptable. there is no place for

antisemitism, full stop, period. >> carley: in e-mail to fox news she said i did mishear the question, antisemitism is abomination that this president has fought against his entire life and i feel strongly about that work. what do you think? did she -- >> joe: when you feel strongly about something, you don't look down at a bi binder to give the response, not a day later. the room was silent. she was not doing that thing your dog does when can't understand what you are saying. the white house is trying to appease worst elements, have it both ways, strong on israel, but sympathetic to xyz, there are no two sides. >> todd: joe, i mishear things all the time, never said the

phrase muslim have hate fuelled attacks, that is what she said after mishearing. there you have it. >> carley: the president will be taking formal questions for the first time since the war started at 12:00 today. >> joe: i have a feeling there will be a list of reporters he will call on and jacqui heinrich or peter will not be on the list. >> carley: cheryl casone has that story. >> todd: did you hear this, baseball correspondent, world series set after thrilling game seven last night. in particular moment stood out when the diamondbacks starting pitcher was seen reading the bible in the dugout. we have that, don't go anywhere.

anything more, he will be there at least until november. this is russia, you can expect that to be longer. they don't want the white house to lose track of what happened with evan. >> todd: fellow democrats now not mincing words about rashida tlaib. >> cheryl: rashida tlaib, again, once again, she is questioning whether or not the israelis bombed the hospital in gaza. it has been proven by u.s. and israeli intelligence and proof is out there, that the israelis did not bomb a hospital in gaza. here she is again on monday making another statement on her website. "i cannot accept israel denial of responsibility as fact, especially in light of confirmation from the world health organization that israel has bombed numerous medical facilities in gaza," and fellow democrats are coming out saying she is reaching and should be

censored, if we had a speaker, maybe that could happen, but we don't. listen to her fellow democrat, jared moskowitz. >> i think censor resolution will come to the floor and everyone should consider, this is u.s. intelligence, u.s. information and this is about not willing to trust biden administration but instead continuing to pretend ministry of health out of gaza is nothing more than a terrorist organization. >> cheryl: now we know that the hamas said there were 500 people killed in this one particular hospital bombing, which was a misfired jihad rocket, u.s. intelligence and sources have confirmed this. we have satellites, we can see this from the air. still at this point, rashida tlaib does not want to admit she

might be wrong here. >> carley: that's what it is, not just the u.s., news organization, "wall street journal," al jazeera. >> cheryl: "new york times" had to walk this back, come on. >> carley: president biden name will not be on early-state ballot. >> cheryl: new hampshire beautiful state, but a lot going on there. deadline for president biden to file to run on the democratic ticket in new hampshire is friday, the campaign will not do that. the campaign posted, biden for president will not submit by the deadline for that primary because president biden proposed calendar change, he will get his way and can't at this point go against the dnc and file in new

hampshire. new hampshire has a state law that says they are the first primary, republicans are sticking with it us democrats are not. they are focused on north carolina. >> todd: president biden refuses to follow new hampshire law. thank you. speaking of cheryl casone, the fighting cheryl casones, the arizona diamondbacks win the series, first pennant since 2001. >> cave fly ball to right field and he's got it. the arizona diamondbacks heading to the world series. >> todd: so improbable, this moment getting a lot of attention. starting pitcher brandon fought takes a moment to read the bible. marte winning m.v.p., hitting
