6:02 am
community. i just don't want to forget the families that are grieving and will continue to grieve. i don't want to forget the law enforcement officials that have worked tirelessly throughout this whole event to come to the good conclusion. pete: police confirming card was found just miles away from the crime scene in lisbon falls, maine. rachel: he's accused of killing at least 18 people wednesday night at a bar and bowling alley. nate foy is live on the ground in maine9 with the latest. nate, good morning. >> reporter: hey, guys, good morning. after a long 48-hour manhunt, the healing process can now begin. the man who police say is responsible for the worst mass shooting in maine's history was found dead at 7:45 last night. take a look at our fox news drone. his body found at a recycling facility where he used to work. reportedly near a dumpster. this is the roughly 10 miles from the bowling alley where the first shooting occurred and 8 miles from the bar where the second shooting happened.
6:03 am
in total, will police say robert card murdered 18 people and injured 13 others. we're about a mile away from the lisbon boat launch on the river where card's white subaru was found with a gun inside. here's maine governor janet mills. >> robert card is no longer a threat to anyone. i know there are some people, many people who share that sentiment, but i also know that his death may not bring solace to many. but now is a time to the heal. >> reporter: guys, we're also learning more about the heroic response to the shootings from law enforcement. maine's commissioner of public safety described how four off-duty police officers responded to the bowling alley in 90 seconds, likely saving lives. listen here. >> in this particular instance, the officers were in plain clothes, they're shooting at a range right around the corner. the call comes in, they that hear that and they're going to respond and immediately go to spare time, to help in any way
6:04 am
they can not knowing that, in fact, they're going to be the closest there and the first out. we're very lucky that the officers were that close, because i think you save lives with timed responses. >> reporter: they certainly do. but unfortunately, not everybody could be saved. here are the 18 people killed in wednesday night's horrific attack. they range in age from 14 to 76 years old. the 4-year-old boy, aaron young, was murdered with his father bill at the bowling alley, the first shooting. bill's cousin tells fox he was a dedicated family man who was always trying to make people laugh. our own lawrence jones spoke with the father of another victim you see here, joseph walker, who explained his son died trying to save others. >> my son went after the shooter trying to defend everyone that was being shot at and lost his life in trying. >> his son -- your son died a
6:05 am
hero. >> he did. he did and i'm proud of him. >> reporter: the healing process beginning. the shelter in place order no longer in effect. businesses are back open today but still so many questions, and we are expecting an update from state officials at 10:00. so hopefully, we'll learn more then. back to you guys. pete: absolutely. we'll be watching. nate foy, thanks for all your coverage. and just moments ago thousands of pro-palestinian protesters flooding the streets of london as the war in israel continues to divide major cities around the world. rachel: greg palkot is live in northern israel and has latest on the potential two-front war in the jewish state. are greg, what is the latest? and good morning to to you. >> reporter: hi, good morning, folks. yeah, in the last 90 minutes or so we've been hearing a bunch of outgoing israeli artillery fire aiming across the border two miles behind us into lebanon, and we've also been seeing
6:06 am
iranian-backed hezbollah militant activity the as well. can't say all of this is directly related to what's going on south, but it could very well be. we've been monitoring those live images coming from the south. there's a lot of residual smoke from hours of fighting between the israeli military and hamas militants down this. israel describes this as an extent i -- extensive raid. they also call it a ground invasion not necessarily the ground invasion. 150 underground targets were hit by air, sea and land. it's the heaviest bombardment of this war yet. top hamas militant officials have been targeted. the internet and mobile phones are out in gaza, and there's no reported casualties on either side which is a bit strange. the claimed civilian death toll on the gaza strip is now said to be close to 8,000 as the humanitarian the crisis builds there too.
6:07 am
israel says more aid can be coming, can't figure out quite how they would do that, and some other big numbers that really play a role in all of this, 229 israelis and other nationalities including americans held hostage by hamas and affiliated groups. also 600 palestinian-americans and other dual nationals also caught in the gaza strip while this all goes on. in the west bank some 30 miles south of where we are, protests overnight. militants there have been clashing since the gaza fighting began, but now the arab street getting involved, upset about this hike-up in the ground invasion by israel and goading the militants on. and as for this northern front, iranian-backed hezbollah militants have been shooting off rockets. one got intercepted by an israeli drone a short while ago. we mentioned the artillery fire. the militants here still haven't decided how big to go for their hamas allies, but it could be ugly. one last note, some warnings and
6:08 am
some show of force from the united states. the u.s. state department telling american civilians across the border in lebanon not to stay in place, to move if they possibly can, to move before a crisis makes it more difficult. and more firepower. the uss eisenhower carrier group has just entered mediterranean, joining the uss gerald r. ford to show force here in this renal. back to you. -- in this region. pete: greg, thank you very much. appreciate that report this morning from the northern portion where, again, we continue to try to get our arms around if and when the gaza thing happens, the invasion happens, what the implications are everywhere else. will: you know, yesterday trey yingst said the israeli military has essentially four goals the top two of which are, number one, to seek and destroy hamas, number two, to recover the hostages. it strikes me those two goals somewhat are antagonistic to one
6:09 am
another. rachel: they are. will: and mentioned this earlier, past two weeks done a lot of coverage on the will cain podcast, had this conversation with david bell via, friends with pete, was the recipient to the medal of honor for the valor he showed in urban warfare in fallujah. he said once you send that infantry in -- and i'm assuming when we say ground invasion, we are talking about a blunt force. not special operations. infantry force taking gaza street by street the, block by block, door by door. once you do, the soldiers -- and, pete, i'm obviously very deferential to you having done this -- but the soldiers' objective is the primary objective. and the existence of civilians or hostages becomes far secondary because it compromises the first objective. i mean, you can't walk through a door sitting there debating whether or not someone is a bad guy or a civilian, otherwise your debate ends with your death. and so they just work an tag nilsic of one oohing -- an tag
6:10 am
antagonistic. and i don't know a parallel. fallujah, there weren't civilians like this. pete: fallujah's not the parallel per se because there was very little civilian population at all. but the parallel does hold there in that the insurgents in fallujah had a long time to rig that place. they had it set up in a defensive position. you have to assume in gaza -- rachel: they've had time. pete: -- hamas has done the same thing. they're going to want to channel israeli troops into certain places for ambushes. any doorway could blow. but then you add the dynamic, and we've gotten conflicting reports of how many in particular, but at a minimum, hundreds of thousands of gazans are still in the north either unwilling, unable or blocked the flee. and is so they'll be there. and you've got high-rise buildings. if you're in fallujah, you're clearing those floors and is rooms knowing that behind the door there could be an enemy but only an enemy m. this dynamic, there could be an enemy or a civilian or a family.
6:11 am
and because israel has worked hard to the fight just wars, they're not going to go in there just shooting everybody and anybody. but to our next guest that we had, this is also an enemy that knows exactly how the west fights and designs their defense against it. so we had major john spencer on, he is a specialist in subterranean warfare. and i asked him about the headquarters for hamas because, based on human intelligence, it's located underneath the largest civilian hospital in the gaza strip. a functioning civilian hospital, underneath is hamas headquarters. here's a portion of how he said israel would have to the deal with it. >> the hospital is the entryway into this tunnel complex. it's actually a war crime to do that, so this is how the idf has to fight with their hands behind their back. they won't bomb it. they have to, they'll have to assault it when and if that time comes. this is the challenge that everybody wants to talk about irk df doing war crimes which i
6:12 am
haven't seen a single one. and by the very nature, hamas uses war crimes as a method of warfare. it's ridiculous. you can't destroy hamas by bombing it. you have to go forward, close and destroy all of their capabilities, their leadership, their fighters, their tunnels, their rockets, all of it. rachel: ray yeah. that conflict between the ground invasion and the civilians and in particular the hostages, we had a clip on earlier in the show of one of the, the son of one of the hostages saying, oh, dear, you know? if they go in, that's a sign to the us that they have given up on getting our hostages, you know, our family members. because they know that those things are in conflict. if you know, my question to you is, you know, we've talked a lot about what the goals of israel are. i'm not exactly clear, it's not exactly clear to me what next. but that said, let's put that aside, what is the goal of hamas? because they had to have known that, you know, israel was going to react, you know, very
6:13 am
forcefully after they, a terrorist attack which was as grisly and brutal as the one we saw three weeks ago. are hay just counting on an overreaction and as this guy that was just on saying, you know, that their hands are tied behind their back, what is the engoal for them as well? they had to have known -- will: regional war. rachel: they want that. pete: their bottom line goal is the eradication of the tate of israel, the death of all jewish people. rachel: right. pete: that is what their kids are trained to believe, what their schools teach, what their fighters believe, the elimination and eradication of all jews. that's what hamas, hezbollah with and iran believes. that's what they want. i'm talking about the leadership. so triggering a regional war in the hopes that hezbollah and iran joins. i also think hamas had probably more success hand they thought they would in that attack on october 7th, and now they're getting that massive response in the process, but they cleary
6:14 am
planned for it. -- clearly planned for it. they know civilian casual the cities in gaza, sadly, twistedly, benefit them. there are reports, rachel, to your point about hostages, obviously, these talks are ongoing. you've got over 200 israelis, americans, everybody wants 'em out. apparently, hamas has been demanding ceasefires in exchange for hostages. we'll give you 10 hostages if you cease fire for 24 hours or 48 hours. which, if you set that precedent, now you're fighting a war where every time you're on the offensive, oh, we'll trade you 55 for -- five for two days. so you're basically at the whim of terrorists wanting to dictate the tempo of your offensive. some of those terms totally unacceptable to israel. so some have suggested this beginning of the offensive changes the dynamic where hamas may get more desperate and negotiate on poorer terms for them for the release of hostages, but you can't know.
6:15 am
pete: rachel: right. well, if it was the your baby, i'm just talking about these poor families that are back there and, you knowing it was a heartbreaking video that we saw -- pete: kill 'em all. rachel: no, but with i'm saying what's the life of one child? pete: you can't dictate foreign policy -- rachel: you might feel different thely -- pete: -- based on one child or one family. it's a wonderful, emotional, heart-felt thing to think, and i understand, but you can't dictate a foreign policy based on individual circumstances. that's just not what governments can do, and how tragic. will: fighting war like this is a modern convention. pete: totally. will: since world war ii. rachel: yes. will: world war ii and prior wars were fought by siege and destruction. i'm not telling you it's the right or wrong, i'm just telling you it's the way war was fought. the this new war, which we can say is progress -- pete: they never end. will: -- is a relatively recent phenomenon. let's move to the united
6:16 am
states now for just one moment. u.s. southern border crisis has been revealed in some new stats. how about this, 908,000 illegal immigrants released into the united states. 155,000, almost 156,000 just in september alone. that's not, that's not encounters. we've had those stats. we've also had, you know, the gotaways. the these are caught but released, almost a million. pete: and when you listen to our reporters on border, they're saying with a notice to the appear in 2025, 2026, 2027 with very little ability to the actually track where these people are actually going. rachel, we've agreed this is the floor of the number at a minimum. rachel: oh, yeah, no, this number's got to be higher. and the terrorist threat level has not been higher now than it's been since 9/11. and so i just keep wondering, like, i just feel like the biden administration's really playing russian roulette with our safety. pete: absolutely. rachel: it's unbelievable to me in this environment where we're
6:17 am
really on the brink of world war iii and, you know, a big war in the middle east and we know from border patrol and from intelligence that we have in mexico that hamas has been coordinating with cartel members. we know terrorists have been caught at record numbers. we went from 0 in 2019 with trump to record numbers now. it's just hard to believe that the biden administration would be so cavalier with the safety of americans when we just see what happened in israel just three weeks ago. meanwhile, a lot of people are trying to figure out what to do with all of these migrants. there's just not enough places to put them, and it turns out many are being sent to migrant camps, this one -- an idea to set one up many chicago 'em and residents there are not happy about this even though i believe they're a sanctuary city. pete: oh, yeah. rachel: but i guess they were a sanctuary city in theory. here's the concerns that many of them have now that it looks like
6:18 am
it might be a reality. >> nobody asked us, nobody told us. we have more than few thousand people who signed a signature here who said, no! we said no! [cheers and applause] >> we have concern about our students, our children who walk on these streets every day. how do we insure their safety? will: i believe new york's also offering plane tickets to illegal immigrants? rachel: yeah. pete: to fly anywhere, because they want to get them out of new york. will: there's the been a lot of exposed farces, but let's just add to the list the idea of sanctuary cities. pete: president yes. will: i got it, you're a sanctuary city in word, in name only. rachel: yeah, in theory. what's interesting though, i feel so bad for some of these people because, obviously, the migrants end up in the working class neighborhoods, and the rich people get request, you know, who have private security and all kinds of things -- pete: private schools -- will: accused of human trafficking when they flew illegal immigrants the martha's
6:19 am
vineyard, and now in new york they're going to fly them wherever you like. is that human trafficking? pete: by definition. rachel: a lot of these people should have thought this when they went to the ballot box. leadership matters, and you vote in liberal democrats who have no common sense, this is what you get. pete: it hasn't translated yet. rachel: i know, look at seattle -- pete: you've got crime and illegal issues, hamas protests through your streets, maybe then we start to reconsider who we vote for? rachel: it's amazing what people are willing to put up with. pete: yeah. by the way, the reason we have cities that funk and safe streets in many places is because of law enforcement. it's national law enforcement day, and we'll be honoring law enforcement and military hero at the fox nation patriot awards. so if you can be with in nashville on november 16th, we would love to have you. it's at the grand ole opry house, historic location, and we will be shining the spotlight on those who deserve it the most
6:20 am
but seek it the least. foxnation.com/patriotawards, it's going to be an awesome show and what an excuse to come to nashville and join us. all three of us will be there. i'll be hosting, ask we hope -- and we hope you can join us. rachel: we'll be cracking at your house. pete: you know it's wide open for you. will's already done it. [laughter] rachel: coming up, biden facing bleak approval in new polls, showing him down double digits with his own party in just one month. our voter panel weighs in coming up. will: but first, republicans introduce legislation to give immediate assistance to israel and only israel. without any ties to ukraine. pete: kansas senator roger marshall is here with more. that's next. ♪ ♪
6:21 am
(jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight.
6:22 am
the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. why not give it a try?
6:24 am
will: turning now to your headlines beginning with a fox news digital exclusive, house speaker mike johnson says he believes president biden is engaging in, quote, ondoing cover-ups -- ongoing cover-ups when it comes to hunter biden's business dealings. he says house investigators have done exceptional work, and that seems to the indicate he was involved and that they kid know about this and the family did benefit from it. the house speaker also saying the biden impeachment inquiry led by house judiciary committee
6:25 am
chair jim jordan will continue. former president george w. bush throwing out the ceremonial first pitch in game one of the world series. of course, bush famously threw out the first pitch after 9/11. he also used to be a part owner of the texas rangers. so last night he told derek jeter he thinks the winner will be texas. >> i'm fired up. as are the ranger fans. we've got a good team. arizona's good. i think we're going to prevail in six games but we'll see. will: the rangers making the former president's prediction look good with a walkoff win over the arizona diamondbacks. >> garcia sends one the other way. that sends carroll back. he's at the wall and the legend grows! [cheers and applause] will: it was sweet. ninth inning homer, two-run homer by corey seager tied it, and that one won the game for the rangers. game two tonight in arlington. coverage begins at 7 p.m.
6:26 am
eastern time on fox, and those are your headlines. pete: will got very little sleep. wisconsinwell three hours, three and a half. pete: and again tonight. will: i'm going to sleep here the in about an hour. rachel: rest up for the game? [laughter] israeli defense forces announcing drones took out a hezbollah cell after intercepting antitank missiles coming from lebanon. will: and as israel fights a two-front war, u.s. lawmakers work to fund their efforts. but our next guest argues that aid shouldn't be tied in with money going to ukraine. pete: the senator from kansas, roger marshall, joins us now. senator, thank you for being here. so how do you -- if the white house wants them to be tied together, what do senate democrats want, and how could you force separate votesesome. >> well, look, we're in the process of forcing a separate vote through some parking lot tear -- parliamentary procedures. israel will most likely have
6:27 am
three fronts within the next ten days. they've already proven the iranian puppets can send missiles from syria and yemen already, is so they immediate these weapons yesterday to protect themselves. if the president lumps this together with the ukraine funding, it's going to take months. what iran needs to hear, hamas and all the terrorists need to hear, is an unequivocal, unhesitant voice from the united states that we are standing beside israel no matter what. so we've got to get this funding done separately. take the ukraine war on the other hand. ukraine is in a tail mate. it's a 7, 9, 10-year war. 200,000 people have already died there. that needs to be debated separately. we need to be focused on peace, but we need to stand beside the people of israel as they take on this hamas army of terror. isn't a fight just for the people of israel, this is a night for the future of
6:28 am
humankind. rachel: senator, it's really heartening to hear people in congress now talking about peace and bringing about peace negotiations. as you know, the biden administration has thwarted other efforts that other countries have done to bring about peace in the ukraine and russia situation. so is there an appetite, is there a growing number of senators like yourself who see the answer to ukraine as a peace negotiation? >> i think so. i think we need to realize, again, that there's a stalemate there, that this is a 10-year war. we're going to spend $100 billion a year there. but again, i point out 200,000 ukrainians and russians have died already, 500,000 casualties. this'll be afghanistan all over again as far as this long, long war. i just don't see that moving anywhere. i'm still concerned about the corruption in ukraine. every week we learn about more corruption in ukraine right now. the political class wants this war, but the rank and file
6:29 am
people are tired of sending their young ones off to die. and they're having to grab people off the streets. so so that's a problem right now for ukraine, just this war of attrition. will: senator, i heard your first answer a say that you need to send a message the united states stands by israel no matter what, and you with also made a prediction within the next ten days israel would have a war on hair hands coming from three -- their hands coming from three fronts. how do you see the u.s.' involvement? here we're talking about a financial involvement. there's obviously concern about a broader regional war. when you say no matter what, how far does that go for the united states? >> yeah, i don't think we can put any limits on it. i think that these terrorists need to know that this is a battle for mankind. it's not just a battle for the people of israel. we will do whatever it takes to stop terrorism. and, certainly, we need the administration to call out the head of the snake, iran, and make them understand that every time one of their proxies launches another attack, we will fight you eye for eye, tooth for
6:30 am
tooth. already 20 attacks on americans, and there's been a minimalist response. certainly nothing that would warrant deterrence. i don't know what this president is waiting on. he's trying to tame a tiger by petting it and turning it into a cat. that's not going to happen with iran. we've learned that being a pacifist with iran is not going to work. wisconsinwell but i'm just connecting the dots here. your prediction or estimation, again, war expanding within ten day, the united states in your estimation, unfettered commitment to israel, do you expect this then to be a war where united states troops are involved in the middle east? >> i do not expect any boots on the ground. i have full faith that if we equip israel properly, they can take on the war in gaza, hold off hezbollah in the north, but all these other proxies that are shooting long range missiles at one of our greatest, staunchest allies, israel, those need to be silenced. anytime they're coming from other locations, they need to be
6:31 am
silenced k and we need to do something probably in the state of iran, the nation of iran as well. they need to hear the message loud and clear. look, iran is a bully. we're going to have to hit them really hard or right between the eyes and make sure that they understand eye for eye, tooth for tooth. you hurt one of us, we're going to kill ten of yours. it's that -- i'm sorry. i'm reminded what president eisenhower said, that the i hate war as only a soldier who's lived it can. it's going to be brutal, it's going to be the ugly, but we have to stand beside the people of israel. do not let iran win this message war. china and russia are going to be building that message right behind them. we have to win this message war as well. rachel: senator, do you have any idea if the biden administration has now said, okay, dumb idea on, you know, trying to do this iran deal and we're going to not do this anymore? or, i mean, how do you pursue both things at the same time? >> well, it's crickets, right?
6:32 am
crickets out of the white house. what joe biden has given us is war through weakness. eisenhower, reagan gave us peace through strength, joe biden gives us war through weakness. so because of his horrible reputation that no one respects him, iran doesn't think that he has a red line. meanwhile, joe biden is empowering them to develop nuclear weapons. it makes no sense. not only should we stop their nuclear development, but we need to supply israel, we need to do the mission with israel if iran actually gets to that point, and they're breath takingly close to having nuclear warheads. can you imagine if iran had an a active nuclear warhead program right now -- pete: it'd be a whole lot different. senator, thank you for your time this morning. we appreciate it. >> have a good morning. rachel: thank you, senator. interesting. lots of stuff there. okay, don't go anywhere, we're waiting for a live update if from maine officials after learning that the suspected mass shooter gunman was found dead last night. we have the latest. stay with us.
6:33 am
this isn't just freight. these aren't just shipments. they're promises. big promises. small promises. cuddly shaped promises. each with a time and a place they've been promised to be. and the people of old dominion never turn away a promise. or over promise. or make an empty promise. we keep them. a promise is everything to old dominion, because it means everything to you.
6:37 am
will: fox news alert, in just half an hour, we expect an update from officials in maine after suspected gunman robert card was found dead with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound it's a dramatic end after the horrific massacre that killed 18 people and hurt 13 others. a retired fbi special eight on the joint terrorism task force and ceo of -- international and joins me now. great to see you, jack. >> great to see you, will. will: i think in some way, not a surprise, these things end in a suicide. >> yeah. this is the, i hate to say, typical in a mass shooting, but it's going to happen one way or another. it's usually either suicide by cop or self-inflicted as in this case. but i think, you know, the suicide mote that he had left -- note that he had left for his son was indicative of how he expected this to end.
6:38 am
will: when you look at this, it's a horrific tragedy the, 18 dead, # 13 injured, what's the biggest takeaway? >> the takeaway on this one, ill say, will, is there were some signs along the way that maybe we could have looked at, you know, his mental health issues, you know? he was, you know, confined for two weeks. he was looked at. he was a man, though, that was tactically trained. i mentioned it on other shows that,s you know, he had put several tiktok videos out there which were taken down, but the audio still existed. and in those audios, he pretty much said he was going to do something spectacular and that he would be heard. so he actually kind of put it out there himself. will: the takeaway is the warning signs. >> the warning signs. will: and what you do with those warning signs to try to stop something that has not yet occurred, it's off in the future still. you serve on the joint terrorism task force. so in israel right now strikes are intensifying against hamas. anticipation of a grown invasion.
6:39 am
but, you know -- ground invasion. but with, you know, ground is almost a misnomer because what we're talking about is an underground invasion. >> yeah. this is going to be the toughest part for the israelis tactically to handle the subterranean tunnels that exist as we have heard on your other show. hamas has built their headquarters under the largest hospital in gaza. that's not a mistake, obviously. they typically utilize this type of strategy of shielding themselves with innocent civilians. so this is going to be the a tactical nightmare for the israelis, but they do have some tricks up their sleeve. i heard your earlier guest talk about the new sponge bombs being yachtized -- utilized which is, you know, and possibly even using sea water to flush out, you know, these tunnels. so it's going to be a challenge. going, you know, hand to hand in those tunnels will result many tremendous amount of loss of life. will: i've heard said this is not weeks, this is months. >> months, absolutely.
6:40 am
will: all right, jack, we appreciate your perspective on both of those stories. >> thanks, will. will: coming up, biden facing bleak approval if ratings among democrats. a new poll showing him double down -- down double digits with his own party in just one month. our voter possible weighs in next. panel weighs in next.

digits with democrat voters in just one month as far-left progressives rebel against biden's handling oversea, could he face a reckoning in 2024 as israel divides democratsesome our voter panel joins us now with reaction. republican voter, former chairman of the gw college republicans and former president of gw for israel, ezra rah meyer. air force veteran and former democrat and republican voter lydia dominguez and democrat vote iser georgia mill jackson. thank you for being here this morning. ezra, let me start with you. i mean, the things happening at gw, the things happening around hamas and israel have been front and center, and it's reflect ared now in polls where there is a big core of the democrat party that wishes joe wouldn't support israel. how much of an impact does that have, ezra in. >> yeah. well, good morning, pete. i think this is a macro cause of what we've been seeing over the past 5-10 years on college

campuses. i think now is not the time for biden to waver in his support to israel just to pander to the fringe far left and score cheap political points. i'm an a american, yet this is deeply personal for me. i have family in israel. my big sister, who was supposed to start a master's program in tel aviv last week, was called to the reserves and sent to southern israel. i have two friends who were at that music festival, and when chaos ensued they split and went in opposite directions, and one ended up speaking at the funeral of another one, a funeral of a 24-year-old girl that i had to attend on zoom for my friend x. this is not unique to me. everyone, not just in israel, but in the worldwide jewish community, knew someone if not many people who were either murdered, taken hostage or had their life significantly altered forever because of the events of october 7th. now, look, good on biden for his support on israel thus far. even though i'm a staunch
6:46 am
conservative, i think, you know, i thinks it is imperative that this is not -- does not splinter further into a partisan issue that we can just laugh about. these are people's lives on the line. pete: and, lady ya -- lydia, joe biden has shown support for the most part for israel, yet his poll numbers inside his own party have gone down at the same time which is pretty indicative of where a lot of democrats are right now. >> absolutely. i want to give hope to people who have a democrat or a liberal family member, don't give up on them. i used to be one of them. i eventually saw the light, the veil came off. it really does mean people have to go through a little bit of a struggle. the economy is awful right now. people are struggling. they're having to get two jobs just to survive. it's not okay. people are depressed, they're angry and they're broke. it's not fun anymore, and, you know, it's not a, it's not a cool thing to just keep croixing the economy over -- destroying
6:47 am
the economy over and over just over these political antics. pete: no doubt. >> we need someone with america first values and america first economical, you know, values to this country. pete: and, jamil, you're at the university of chicago, no conservative bastion these days. we've even shown some residents of chicago outraged by the fact that there are new potential encampments of illegals in that city. how do you look, as a democrat, registered democrat, how do you look at this current situation and joe biden's prospects? >> well, i've seen joe biden give the same speech many, many times where he says that conservatives, especially ultra-maga conservatives, are trying to destroy our democracy. he also says that this isn't your father's gop. well, i've seen just the opposite. this is my grandmother's democrat party, the same party that sided with the kkk. and i think that's why you can see a drop in his numbers and support for baby boomers, because it's the same copy and
6:48 am
paste strategy from decades ago where people, politicians -- specifically democrats -- target people based on their race and even religion. and it's sort of appalling to see biden not call out anti-semitism on college campuses because these are the same far leftists who blame him for supporting a genocide overseas. it's almost like he's in an up and coming divorce with the far left, but he also needs them to vote for him in 2024. because he relied on them in 2020. pete: absolutely. we're out of time but, georgia kneel, i -- jamil, i want to thank you for your clarity of thought there. lydia, for your service to the country, we appreciate it, you're an air force veteran and, ezra, our thoughts are with your sister, god bless everyone there. we hope the israeli defense forces are successful. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you, pete. pete: tomorrow on "fox & friends", general jack keane and israeli ambassador to the u.n. join us live as our

rachel: fox news alert, crude oil futures rising 2.5% as the u.s. launches airstrikes on iranian targets in syria. so as conflict rises around the biggest oil producers in the middle east, fears are growing over the potential economic impact here at home. fox business senior correspondent charles gasparino joins us to break this down. charles, so great to have you on such an important topic. you know, the green new deal has wreaked havoc on our economy and is making americans poorer because we we know it affects inflation. why was it when this terrorist attack happened and it looked -- we could see this was going to have broader impacts on middle east, why isn't the first thing that joe biden did was to reverse his policies so we could go back to being energy independent and not dependent on this hot zone? >> well, why, i guess you immediate e a brain transplant out of sleepy joe for that to happen. [laughter] i mean, to be honest with you, the environmental far left
6:54 am
essentially controls many of his regulatory the agencies, particularly on the economy. if you look at everything from gary gensler at the sec to lina khan at the ftc, i mean, these are some of the most far-left people controlling the economic agenda in this country. and, or you know, a war is not going to, you know, is not going to -- rachel: stop them. [laughter] >> they're going to be left, you know, that's what we're facing now. now, we should point out even if there wasn't a far-left agenda in the white house economically, crude oil prices, the futures would rise, and they would rise because they always trade off or trade up on uncertainty, global uncertain the city involving the oil markets, particularly as it impacts the middle east. but this is worse because this is not just a freakout of a bunch of traders. i mean, we do have policy in this country that says don't drill for oil. we have stuff like esg that is pushed on to oil companies, exxonmobil and them and all of them, essentially to scale back
6:55 am
on drilling to, you know, put money into sustainable energy sources when, you know, that's a future thing. it's not present. so put all that together, and you're going to get inflation here with this war. rachel: yeah. it's just, it's so predictable, what's going to happen. >> it is. rachel: i just cannot wrap my head around why they don't care about us being energy independent at a time like this. >> well, it's ideologicallyically they're very rigid. i mean, if you've covered this, i'm writing a book about corporate wokism. i mean, part of the fact that so many companies have gone woke whether it's budweiser, target or you name it, oil companies, is because this whole esg movement was pushed by the white house. it was pushed, essentially, by the obama administration. it took a break during the trump years, and now it's back with a vengeance. and you're going to have higher inflation because it basically constrained supply of stuff like oil. rachel: yeah. >> and you can't escape it.
