shows that one of the largest left wing dark money networks has reportedly also funneled more than $10 million to anti-israeli causes since 2018. some of those groups have been designated terror organizations. fox has been in contact with the advisors and we're awaiting a response. protestors called on the u.s. to stop aid to israel at the same time those same groups are having many questions about where their funding comes from. send it back to you. >> brian: just the beginning of the investigation. >> ainsley: today at 10:00 a.m. eastern time a trial will begin in colorado to determine if former president trump should be disqualified from the state's ballot. >> lawrence: biden administration is hosting the saudi defense minister at the white house. >> brian: and they'll play the world series. >> dana: a key arab ally is expected at the white house

today. president biden will leave delaware and meet with saudi arabia defense minister arriving in washington amid fears the war between israel and hamas could widen throughout the middle east. we're monitoring all of it for you. but first. [shouting] >> dana: revolting show of hate towards jews. hundreds of rioters storm an airport trying to confront jewish passengers aboard a flight from israel. i'm dana perino and good to be here. >> martha: im martha maccallum in for bill hemmer. hard to watch these images of this mob in the mostly muslim region of russia breaking through barriers and breaking down doors yelling anti-semitic chants and surrounding a plane

and asking which of the passengers on that plane are jewish. the violence and hatred is coming as israel rolls out phase two of their war against hamas expanding their offensive from the ground and sky pushing at least two miles now into gaza. the idf taking out hundreds of hamas targets and they say that they are trying to spare civilians in the course of all of this. it is a densely-populated palestinian enclave. >> dana: new video showing the changing nature of the battlefield. the idf raising the israeli flag in gaza apparently for the first time in 18 years. we have fox team coverage. mike tobin near the front lines. jeff paul is in london with the latest on that anti-semitic riot in russia. jeff, what happened? >> it all happened in the

russian republic just east of the country of georgia. when you watch the terrifying moments that unfolded at that airport it is incredible no one on board the airplane being targeted was killed. hundreds of people stormed that airport, some making it onto the airfield trying to reach an airliner that just landed from tel aviv. many were waving palestinian flags and some in the crowd were chanting anti-semitic passports. they looked for everyone from israel. they supported palestinians in gaza but urging its citizens to not take part in these type of protests or create panic. local security forces got the situation under control. as many as 60 according to local reports were arrested.

>> they hit their heads and feet to break through fence and grill. here are the cobblestones that they hurled at us. they have started to crash everything in customs offices, the booths. >> israeli prime minister's office saying they expect russian law enforcement to keep every israelis or people of the jewish faith safe wherever they may be. >> dana: thank you. >> martha: israeli defense forces pound gaza today from the air, the ground and the sea as they have told us will be their operation here. mike tobin is live in southern israel near the front lines with the very latest. hi, mike. >> hi there. from our vantage point we can see plumes of smoke come up when the israeli aircraft have struck targets or bombed targets inside the gaza strip. smaller plumes of smoke at the ground operations. what we've seen to this point

are big plumes of smoke to the northern end of the gaza strip. we heard reports from hamas that they made contact with israeli armor south of gaza city itself. what we've seen coming out of the gaza strip doesn't support that. they will say they have expanded the ground operation and hit cells of hamas fighters waiting in ambush and hamas infrastructure and anti-tank positions supported by israeli fighter jets and the drones we hear overhead now. evidence that social order inside the gaza strip is falling apart due to the strain of lack of basic necessities. video of a u.n. warehouse ransacked by palestinians. stealing things like bags of flour. they made it to hungry people but no order in the manner it is being distributed. netanyahu is back pedaling.

he blamed the intelligence service that allowed october 7th and the massacre to happen. he deleted the tweet and put up another one apologizing. a lot of people, now questioning whether he has the character to lead this nation through this crisis. rockets landed in an open field in jerusalem. no injuries. >> dana: iran warning it could step off the sidelines and join the conflict. general jack keane is here. some would say iran hasn't been on the sidelines but maybe calling the shots. >> iran has never been on the sidelines for 43 years when they started bombing our barracks in 1983 and blew up the embassies

and barracks in 1996. they have been deeply involved. they state clearly, dana, their strategic objective is dominating the middle east and persian gulf oils. they have two goals, 1 to drive the united states military out of the middle east and that thaw is why they've been pounding us for years and two, destroy the state of israel. they have their fingerprints over everything that has been happening from october 7th on for sure. >> dana: one of the things that the daily telegraph is writing this headline. how the west allowed iran to unleash horror across the middle east. lack of moral clarity has fueled greater terror. how could the west in general and u.s. in particular have lowered our guard against iran, the only state to be involved in both major conflict? how did it come about that

israel, a tiny country the size of wales is paying the price for the failure of america and europe to take the iranian threat seriously? i think that you've been asking those questions, too, you've been consistent on that. >> well, the facts were at the end of the trump administration after the killing of soleimani which rocked iran's leadership and the sanctions that had their economy literally in the tank. they were down to 200,000 barrels of oil a day. whether this administration came in they wanted -- it didn't make sense. the abraham a cords occurred. two arab and two african nations recognizing israel. they are opposed to hamas who wants to destroy the state of israel. kingdom of saudi arabia was on the cusp of it. very positive things. biden administration came in and

stopped enforcing the sanctions and that was outrageous because now they are north of 3 1/2 million barrels of oil a day and flush with money and reality is, they've conducted over 90 attacks against the united states in iraq and syria during this three-year period all accelerated recently. so yes, i mean, we took our eye off the ball here in terms of iran's real objectives. their political and military objectives and to somehow think we can establish some kind of detaint with them is absurd. the biden administration blew them off. we have the inclusion due to iran's strategic decision that the normalization between saudi arabia and israel is something that would be a major paradigm

shift in the nation because other nations will recognize israel. that's at the heart of all this. >> dana: president biden reportedly today is going to meet with the saudi defense minister at the white house when he returns from delaware. what do you think -- how do you think that conversation will go or how should it go? >> well first of all the fact that the defense minister is coming to talk to the united states is a very good thing. they just entertained a large congressional delegation of ten senators and congressmen bipartisan in riyadh. they're very concerned what is taking place here. they were getting close to relationships with israel. here hamas steps up and wants to destroy the state of israel and unleash savagery and brutal attack on israel. it has disrupted what their intentions are. they don't want the gaza strip to be inflamed and casualty rate to get completely out of hand. that's a concern they have. a concern the administration has

and it is a concern the israelis have. you can see they've modified their tactics here quite dramatically because of civilian casualties and also trying to preserve casualties from their own forces. but look at, i think saudi arabia clearly wants to move beyond the leadership that is leading the palestinians in the west bank and certainly beyond hamas. i who app the political objective to saudi arabia and arabs is to try to fix the political entity among the palestinians once and for all. create a political transformation at the the end of this thing. the israelis can't do it. the arabs have to get involved in doing it and help them economically and stop distancing them. they are part of the solution. and hopefully that kind of substance takes place today in the white house. >> dana: we'll pay attention to it. thank you for your expertise this morning, general. >> great talking to you, dana,

as always. [shouting] >> dana: tensions running high as pro-palestinian unrests ca later. how anti-semitic threats are putting universities on edge today. >> martha: multiple shootings across the country over halloween weekend and some were deadly. >> dana: vice president harris trying to push back against bad polling for the administration. instead they walked into another awkward moment. >> joe biden is very much alive and running for re-election. we're going to win. let me tell you that. we're going to win. rs charge hus upfront for your appraisal and other fees. not at newday. a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money.

>> one of the ironies is as an american jew you are safer in saudi arabia right now than you are on a college campus like columbia university. >> dana: jerad kushner as anti-semitic sentiment spreads because college campuses. alexis mcadams is following the story live in new york city. was this directly related to the university at cornell? >> right now this morning they're trying to figure out who

posted that. it was the on a student message board but not affiliated with the university. a lot of people waking up on campus are worried for their safety. we'll get to that in a second. we know that a lot of these campuses have been the epicenter of ongoing protests. cornell university increasing security on campus after the school said a series of horrendous anti-semitic messages were posted on an online scotian board. they called on people to follow, attack and kill jewish students on campus and threatened to shoot up that kosher dining hall. right now sources telling fox news the f.b.i. is investigating to see if it was a hate crime that could lead to federal charges. keeping a close eye on that. this comes after you might remember that cornell professor called the hamas attacks exhilarating on the leave of absence that he requested after the university said those comments were reprehensible.

listen to this. [inaudible] >> it's not just an college campus else but also the protests in the streets across the country. you are looking at what happened at grand central station just on friday. hundreds of people were arrested after a sit-in there. that happened during rush hour. so if you can watch this. the brooklyn bridge packed with pro-palestinian supporters over the weekend. hundreds marching calling on the united states to stop sending aid to israel. in chicago another weekend of protests. thousands walking the streets and chanting to free palestinian. back at columbia university in new york they have had a lot of protests on both sides of this.

we'll hear from pro-israel students and jewish students calling on the university to do more and speak up against anti-semitism. we'll keep a close eye on what's happening at cornell. >> dana: thank you. >> martha: on 60 minutes this weekend vice president harris rushing to president biden's defense. a stark drop in his approval ratings across the board. look at this. >> you have the current frontrunner for the gop, donald trump, facing 91 criminal charges. yet the biden/harris ticket is running neck-and-neck with donald trump. why are you not 30 points ahead? >> when the american people are able to take a close look at election time on their options, i think the choice is going to be clear. bill, we're going to win. i'm not saying it will be easy but we will win. >> martha: charlie hurt, fox

news contributor. great to have you with us. your reaction to the vice president there, i thought it was interesting, you know, obviously she thinks they are going to win. she talked about the board are and student debt. in that one she is just saying don't look at the polls, you know, the question you guys should be way ahead, what's happening? >> you have to pause for a minute. the 60 minutes questions are a little too awesome. why aren't you 30 points ahead is a hilarious question to ask. the answer is things that i don't think 60 minutes is concerned about. things like inflation, mortgage rates, credit card rates, crime, all of these things that the biden administration has not only not addressed, but where they have tried to address it they've made things worse. it is the wide open border while we're watching the chaos around the world. people at home don't feel safe here and not only does the biden

administration not have any answers but apparently 60 minutes doesn't understand. >> dana: they brought up immigration. watch here. >> most americans say that they don't think you are doing a good job on the border. you and the administration. >> it's no secret we have a broken immigration system. short term we need a safe, orderly and humane border policy. and long term we need to invest in the root causes of migration. but the bottom line, congress needs to act. >> dana: it is kind of galling. this was your issue and even if you think congress should act why aren't you on the hill demanding that they get in a room and figure it out? she has the power to convene but she doesn't use it. >> exactly. the biggest lie there is. the whole thing the immigration system is broken. it's true the legal immigration system may not work the way some people want it to work and there

are a lot of complaints to be made about that. the illegal immigration system works. there is a border and it is against the law to come into the country illegally and this administration has done everything in their power to wipe away that border and let people come in illegally. and for these people to hide behind this notion that oh, the immigration system is broken. congress has acted for 100 years congress has had laws on the books that say it is illegal to come into the country illegally. there is such a freak-out in this administration. you can't say illegal. that's a present or tive term. no,ist is illegal. you can't go into other countries illegally and you can't come into this country illegally. >> martha: one of the things that strikes me the answer is so generic. it is like it ignores what is happening on the border. on the part of the question as well. neither one of them addressed the elephant in the room, which

is that millions of people have crossed the border since this administration came into the white house. what are you going to do about it? it is all on this level where they aren't talking about what people are actually experiencing every day. >> the 2020 election, there was so much hysteria and ramped up anxious iy going into that election that generic worked. the reason people got elected in 2016 people were upset what was going on in the country. when you look at issues like the border and some of the economic issues people are very frus frustrated. generic doesn't work. whoever addresses them will wind up winning. >> dana: it is all intertwined. if they were actually shut down the border more, then gives you space to work on the root cause issue. >> the default that the root causes are our responsibility to fix doesn't make sense. the default is no actually you need to fix your root causes and

we have a border. it's not that complicated. >> dana: great to see you in new york with us. charlie in new york. >> martha: as israel seeks to defense its nation the u.s. urges israel to think twice about a ground invasion in republican presidential candidate nikki haley is officially filing to be on the 2024 ballot in south carolina. we'll take you there live. neede. manage your diabetes with more confidence. freestyle libre 2. try it for free at freestylelibre.us

envoy and former delegate to the united states. hugh, if you know things you can't tell us things but to the extent you can tell us, what is happening now with the hostages? it is almost four weeks they've been held underground. >> what is happening generally hostage taking is a new form of human trafficking on the geopolitical scale. we have to continue to show our moral outrage at this heinous practice that iran has routineized and we have gotten used to the fact once there is a hostage we have to fairing out how to get a payment to them. we have to make them pay. >> dana: is hamas looking for payment or for israel not to invade? >> hamas needs publicity that shows the overlords they are doing the job. they go for the propaganda effect and trying to help iran, china and russia degrade the operations of the united nations as a consensus building forum. they know we have the veto.

they are planning it. they are trying to create a fissure in the international community and the u.n. could be ripe for their own authoritarian purposes. >> martha: interesting to watch this situation. unlike any hostage situation we've seen before. they usually find some way to demonstrate they have the hostages and show them. it is terrifying, these situations. we're hearing that they were offered $10,000 and apartment for east hostage they would bring back after the raids and some hostages have been plight up. different groups have them and even that tehran would like to have some of these hostages. what do you make of all of that, hugh? >> it's a sad state we treat people like human material on the battlefield. it has become uncivilized. the means to resolve it from our side of the fence we do so maintaining civility and international order and do so and recover them by showing it

will prevent future hostage taking. we cannot allow this recovery to set a new standard on the heads of americans or any other people in the world. innocent civilians in wartime settings. >> martha: do you recommending releasing palestinians hostages? that's what -- prisoners like they have in the past? >> we deal with hostages who are civilians. those people they want back are convicted criminals. we have a difficult time negotiating even within washington whether or not we foresake all the work our justice department has done to bring the criminals to incarceration to have them released again. >> martha: did you ever have babies taken as hostages? >> no, this is different. a smash and grab on our civilization, so to speak. we have to recognize that our solution to this, however it happens, has to help build an iron dome for civility not just over the region but over

civilization. any country should realize it is uncivilized behavior? >> dana: you know the government well and you have the unga voting to support a humanitarian truce in israel/hamas. they don't seem to be too concerned if hamas lobbies rockets in israel but want a cease-fire if israel retaliates. >> the security council is stuck on the driving range. they haven't been able to indolt the united states request and countries entitled to self-defense against terrorists. it seems hard for the russias and chinas of the world to give us. they won't knowledge there is a hamas. the resolutions passed don't talk about hostages. the security council is stuck. gone to the u.n. general assembly but playing miniature golf with this issue. >> martha: 225 hostages from 35 countries. israel reported there are 12 americans. i checked that with the white house. they say it's more like ten.

they are calling them unaccounted for in this white house. not hostages. my sense they know some of them clearly are. what do you think about that? >> unaccounted for is accurate. hostage we would like to see proof of life. we would like to see evidence they're cared for and some actual negotiation possible. >> dana: why not doing proof of life? >> it keeps us guessing and wondering and creates more confusion and turmoil. that's their stock and trade. >> dana: please stay in touch with us. >> martha: good to sigh. thank you very much. the manhunt is over in maine. police investigating a motive for the massacre there as it is revealed they were alert evidence to this gunman weeks prior. plus tributes pouring in for beloved actor matthew perry best known for his role as chandler in "friends" but wanted to be remembered for something

point in new york state. he was committed for two weeks for mental health treatment. that awareness alert in maine last month reportedly prompted local police in the state to visit card's house but they say he wasn't home. police say they did increase patrols, there was no specific threat from or about card. >> we have a lot of work yet to do on phones and technology. are we going to find a concrete motive saying this is what i'm going to do and this is why? at this point we know there is a strong mental health cloud over what happened. >> lewiston held vigils yesterday to honor and remember their memory. >> i think we'll hold onto this for a while, but i feel like every community holds onto their own personal trauma in their own way. it will be something we'll hold

onto. i don't think it will define us. >> report say card's sister told police he may have been trying to target his former girlfriend. if the carnage was prompted from a domestic dispute with her. she hasn't been publicly identified. >> dana: thank you for the update. >> you got your mustache back? >> my nose got lonely. >> you don't have a mustache, which is good. >> i'm chandler. i make jokes when i am uncomfortable. >> martha: matthew perry found dead in his jai cuzzi at his ohm over the weekend. dr. marc siegel joins us now. the whole country is so heartbroken over the loss of matthew perry. he was charming and funny, so talented and warm.

and really helped so many others who struggled with addiction as he did throughout his life, mark. >> right, martha. i was struck by what his pickel ball coach said. he was trying to get other people to quit. he was playing pickleball five times a week. a junior tennis star in canada when he was growing up. it is vigorous activity. i don't jump immediately to the conclusion that opioids had anything to do with this. there will be a toxicology report. is it possible? yes. i'm more interested in the idea that he was a big smoker. he was a big smoker and, you know, a drinker, and his weight fluctuated up and down and may have had -- anti-anxiety drugs and drugs for d he may have had

breathing issues. if you go from a heavy activity and into a jack uzi where your blood pressure goes down could ignite a cardiac event. they have to check and see how much of the anti-anxiety medication there was in his system, too. it can suppress breathing. i wouldn't jump to thinking it was opioids. >> martha: they found a number of prescription drugs in his home and obviously his friends, his family, are heartbroken. he also said that he wanted people to understand who were struggling with addiction that they are not alone, marc. he said there are people feeling exactly the way that you are feeling. he said there is a famous sign that people don't change. i happen to know people do change and i see that every day, he said. you know, talk to us a little bit about how others who have

addiction and who have read his book and are battling this might cope with his loss today. >> hugely important point you are making, martha. it is 1 of 2 main points. the first point is what you are saying. he is a courageous role model for people trying to quit. he did it himself. doing better lately. it is not just opioids, it is also alcohol and he was doing really well with this. that can go together. opioids and alcohol. he was inspiring others. he got to pickleball which is a harbinger back to where he was as a junior competitive tennis player. all that is uplifting. the other point i want to make sure to make when you are 54 years old if you have a weight problem and a smoker and you have an underlying medical problem you have to be careful with all of that and make sure your physician is deeply in touch with where you are and

your risks. hot tubs are not dangerous in and of themselves. i don't know what happened is. it is a wake-up call and for people to go easy. inspiration, courage, learn from matthew perry but also be cautious. >> martha: dr. marc siegel. thank you very much. good to have you with us. a lot of reflection on matthew perry's life and how many people he made smile and related to him over the course of the last few decades. good to have you with us, marc, thank you very much. >> thanks. great to be with you. >> dana: key arab ally will be at the white house today. president biden will sit down with the saudi defense minister to discuss the prospect of peace in the middle east amid hamas's brutal war. democrats are rushing to criticize the new speaker, mike johnson and only been less than a week. can be 12 to 15% or higher. our rates are a fraction of what
