thought his cross-examination was boring and fears the president might set for other new york businesses. former democrat tulsi gabbards this is all an election strategy by democrats. >> in one breath they talk about defe defending democracy and we heard jen psaki say if you elect trump, you will undermine the rule of law. look what they are doing right now. the american people are not stupid, the american people are seeing what they are doing that the democrat establishment is going after trump because they are afraid of him and cannot challenge him on substance, whether economy, securing the border and issue of peace and war. >> todd: that is a former democrat who understands how the sausage is made. if you give prosecutors unlimited time and discretion to find something, they will find something or in this case make

something up. on the leticia james case in new york city, it was arms length transactions between a bank with good lawyers and donald trump who has good lawyers, they came up with a deal, everybody made money, there was no victim. as a result, donald trump should walk, if he doesn't, if this judge convicts him, it will go to appeal. >> carley: poll numbers keep ongoing up. there is also this. iranian proxy forces attacking our troops four times since latest round of airstrikes. >> todd: u.s.s. eisenhower has arrived, we are breaking down what is go going on in the middle east next.

>> carley: fox news alert. iranian proxy groups launched attacks on u.s. military in syria. this means u.s. troops in iraq and syria have been attacked 52 times since mid-october. 56 u.s. service members have been injured. now the u.s.s. eisenhower has moved to the strait of amman. new video released by the idf show troops raiding a hamas headquarters as israeli forces say two more soldiers were killed bringing total dead to 47 soldiers. >> todd: israel will pause

military activities for several hours today so civilians can evacuate south. trey yingst live in israel with the latest. trey. >> trey: todd and carley, good morning. battles rage on inside the gaza strip. israeli forces are trying to push deeper into gaza. i will step out of the frame, you can listen to much of the small arms taking place along the border, result of hamas ambushing israeli forces. zooming into an excavator inside gaza, indication israelis are starting to dig up tunnel entrances being used to pop out and engage forces. intense battles continue. you hear that explosion, airstrikes against northern part

of the strip. much of the focus is on al-shifa hospital in gaza, largest city of gaza city. premature babies, kidney patients are in desperate need of aid. the issue appears to be access to power, hamas run health ministry says 11,000 have been killed since october 7. israelis are using artillery on the border and air force to support troops inside. >> carley: live for us in southern israel, trey yingst, thank you for the report. thousands of pro-israel demonstrators are expected to gather in washington, d.c. for today's march for israel. also in d.c., college students will testify today to house lawmakers about how to confront

antisemitism on college campuses after numerous reports from pro-palestinian supporters. a student at yale will testify at that hearing, she will attend the march for israel later today and she joins me now. good morning to you. what a day. two meaningful events you are taking part in. what is your message ahead of your testimony on capitol hill later today? >> thank you for having me this morning. so what i'm going to tell our representatives is that for the past month and a week now, i and my peers have had no time or opportunity to mourn the loss of our 1400 plus relatives across the sea because we are busy handling anti-jewish events of

hatred and universities have failed to protect us and representatives have an opportunity to penalize them. >> carley: you wrote an article and two weeks later it received editor note that said this column is unedited to remove claims that hamas raped women and beheaded men. they edited your column as result of this decision. what went through your head when you saw the editor's note? >> to be honest, there is no shock anymore. i mean, i get back to school and my peers are shouting it is justified by hundreds of pro-hamas student rallies. i see something like this, okay, they are no longer justifying hamas brutality, they are denying them. university has done nothing to stop them.

>> carley: yeah, these claims were substantiated by members of hamas themselves when they recorded the actions, there is proof that shows these things did take place. this march is expected to be an event, expecting 100,000 people at the national mall. what do you hope is achieved by this? >> i hope lawmakers are able to see this is important to the jewish committee in way unlike issues have been in the past. it has become black and white and such a question of life and death for jewish people. both in america, in the united states, on college campuses and across the sea in israel, if they mess this up, the stakes are high. >> carley: yeah, it is important also to strengthen the

president's resolve and show him despite what progressive congresswoman might say, majority of the american people do stand with him through support for israel. that is happening and there have been pro-palestinian and at times pro-hamas protest. are you surprised at the volume of people in this country that would out-right support designated hate group or terrorist organization? >> to be honest, i'm not surprised. in the 1930s, thousands of americans show up to pro-nazi rallies and i view this no different temperature is fascinating because these are often found in the pockets of really elite academia, yale, harvard, cornell and being an academic elite seems to not stop

anybody from supporting a terrorist organization and might propel you to that opinion. >> carley: you will speak on capitol hill and marching in the march for israel taking place 1-3 p.m. on the national mall. i am sure everyone will welcome support. thank you for joining us, have a great day. president biden poll numbers on decline and support for minorities could be hurting him most. our voter panel will weigh in. >> todd: i know you watch every single football game. did you watch this? >> he missed it. flag is down. >> todd: oh, what does that signal mean? we'll explain, bills suffering heart-breaking loss thanks to crucial penalty in the fine seconds, we'll show you how it all went down when "fox and

because it is hispanic americans, definitely moving away from the democratic party. i want to make sure we are careful not to get caught up in the idea of a red wave instead of focusing on elements that cause this red wave to happen, assuming black voters or any other voter that votes democrat traditionally is leaving the democratic party and coming to the republican party is counting chickens before they hatch. there are third-party candidates. i think r.f.k. is polling at 25% and polling at same rate as ross perot was back in the day. this is a phenomena and a lot of his supports are under 45 years old. if we don't have an actual

message that gives voters a reason to vote republican rather than assuming they want to vote republican, may see a third party situation, consider to abortion attack and understand relationship these people have with the culture and understanding we have to expand the tent far beyond just winning. >> todd: jason, look at numbers to janelle king's point, not just black americans, it is people of color overwith who joe biden's numbers are sinking. that is not good for the democratic party. biden administration seems complacent it will win the votes. name one biden policy that has been beneficial for black america? >> i can't name one that has

been directly beneficial for me and my family. there are a lot of things put in place by the prior administration that have been a trickle-down effect that we benefited from, some covid relief effort and things done during the coronavirus era. i can't name a policy i benefit from. >> todd: black men in particular seem to be gravitating toward donald trump more so looking ahead to 2024 than they did in 2020. do you have any sense as to why? >> i think that right now in my circle, there is not a lot of black men gravitating to donald trump. i think what we're seeing, right now we want somebody that is going to work for us and it

doesn't matter which political party. what we're seeing no one presented policies like it has in the past. we're in limbo, holding out vote, our vote is valuable and make sure whoever is in office will make sure we all benefit from. >> todd: the ball is in republican court now, you need to get into black communities and sell the message, otherwise it will be 2020 or 2024 all over again. carley. >> carley: thank you. janice dean has the fox weather forecast. >> janice: can you believe it is almost thanksgiving. people are talking about travel plans. we have cooler air across the northern tier of the country. a lot of moisture working into the gulf coast.

perhaps the most important event of this summit. they will meet tomorrow, a meeting officials hope will ease tension between the u.s. and china amidglobal turmoil with wars raging in israel and -- officials say president biden will raise potentially contentious topics with xi jinping like the chinese spy balloon that traversed the united states and expecting to warn xi jinping about election interference. while in the bay area, likely the two will see san francisco in a different light. crews have been working hard scrubbing the streets and cleaning up homeless encampments for days.

some footage, but as a resident who saw the before and after, how much different do things look than a few days ago? >> it is funny, the city has gotten away with being really poorly run, but with work from home policy, people are starting to leave and small business owners, tax base is shrinking and we are suffering so it is really difficult to see that things are getting cleaned up right as this conference is coming and world leaders coming to the city. >> carley: did the level of homelessness and urine on the street impact your business in terms of foot traffic? >> absolutely, with work from home, people don't have to be here and they don't want to be

in a place that is not clean and safe. everyone is panicking our budget is getting reduced and as a small business owner operating for 11 years, people are not here in the same numbers and we feel the pain. no secret stores are closing left and right, this is not media ploy, this is truth on the streets. business owners like me feel the squeeze and pain. people don't want to live here if they don't have to be here temperature is a beautiful city, but end of the day, people want to feel clean and safe. it is just astounding that with a 14 billion city budget, that is not something the city can provide. >> carley: it is called quality of life. people who pay significant amount of taxes you pay, you deserve the best life possible

fchl they cleaned up the city now, it proves, this was a choice and could have done it years ago and they chose to keep the tents and drug use in the public eye. >> if it was not clear then, it is now, leaders of local and state level are not incapable and incompetent, they just choose not to serve the people. newsom, good for him he went into politics, because if he worked for a company where performance was important, he would be unemployed and broke. >> carley: thank you. hopefully san francisco stays that way in the future, we'll be watching. thank you for joining us, have a great day employing >> todd: to danielle's comment,

the people. >> todd: your big issue is border control, if you get to d.c., what are you going to do different and to carley's last story, causing us to basically spend $451 billion on illegal immigrants. >> that is one of many things that need to be fixed. border security is paramount and i saw what is happening at the border. dark of night, 4:00 in the morning, we were there, 80 migrants crossed and it is unsustainable stream of migrants. i saw where president trump's border wall stopped, i'm in that picture and one point i'm in meek and one point i'm out of mexico. we are not taking care of american people.

documents, we just heard over and over again when it comes to former president donald trump that mishandling of classified documents is a threat to our national security; that it must be investigated to the fullest extent and consequences applied to the fullest extent and letter of the law. in that case, if we are applying that to the current president, joe biden, his handling or mishandling of classified documents, i hope that the two investigations would be similar. i hope that the two investigations would be just as ferocious because, if this is about protecting documents, and protecting our national security, i would sure hope it applies to both of the presidents in the same manner; however, my friends, i will not hold my breath. i hope that we're going to see more testimony, more subpoenas. i hope we are going to see more people going on record. but i'm not confident that that's ever going to happen, and i think that there is a pretty good track record to back up my apprehensions. >> tomi: yeah, and the reason comer is interested in these documents because he wants to know if the documents in the garage had to do with any of the countries that hunter was doing business with.

so, interesting note there. also interesting, cnn had a poll in september found 61% of people think that president biden was involved in hunter's business dealings. 42% say they think he acted illegally. but, if you look at the top issues, tomi, that matter most to americans, and could determine how they vote, it's the kitchen table issues: crime, the economy, things like that. so what does that say about this country? >> tomi: well, listen, we're all going to be more concerned about what's happening in our families and what's happening in our finances than we are in scandals. i think that is actually healthy. i'm happy to hear to the american people care more about their finances and their budgets and their families. that applies to the way the democrats are handling our country and the biden inflation americans are struggling with. i said this last week when we talked about these investigations. regulation investigations are great. i'm glad the republicans with are doing them. we need to get to the bottom of these issues. they have to prove to the american people they can also help to manage this country and put it on the right track. that has to be first.

because investigations alone are not going to win elections. unfortunately, republicans have this knack for losing every major election. so we have to get better at that investigate all you want, but you got to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. and the part of that gum-chewing is the finances of the american and our national security. that's most important. >> todd: tomi, quick to the coke. images of the cocaine found in the white house this summer. 20 seconds to you. >> tomi: well, listen, i have a feeling that whoever leaked those images to the daily mail is probably going to be under more investigation than the person who brought the cocaine that the white house in the first place. another sneaky suspicion i have. this is a national security issue. protect the white house, protect the president, a 10-day investigation, no, i don't think so. i have a feeling this investigation, as i said though, is probably going to last far longer and be much more serious. >> carley: we see the baggie in cubby number 50. thanks for joining us.
