to. but, as dana pointed out, this president can't pivot. once the script is made for the day he doesn't have that flexibility that you would see with a barack obama. bottom line flags weren't burned, violence didn't break out. democratic socialist of new york saying this was attended by, what, pro-hitler, pro-genocide people? it didn't happen that was the textbook definition of a peaceful protest, carly. >> todd: it was a march to rescue innocent hostages living their lives on october 6th and october 7th had their lives destroyed. yet these democratic socialist of america and new york call that pro-genocide. we are pro-joe concha? how was the birthday great, good or okay? >> carley: great good and okay all at once. "fox & friends" starts right now. have a good day, everybody. [gunfire]

>> carley: this is a fox news alert right now israeli troops are going room to room inside gaza's biggest hospital after some bloody street battles as you can see. going underground. they're hunting for hamas terrorists and looking for any information on the 200-plus hostages taken in that october 7th attack. >> lawrence: the white house now publicly stating that the israelis have said all along that hamas is using medical facilities as the command center. >> i can confirm for you that we have information that hamas and the palestinian islamic jihad use some hospitals in the gaza strip, including al shifa and tunnels underneath them to conceal and to support their military operations and to hold hostages. >> brian: all right. this targeted offensive coming after the idf's delivery of incubators the day before with that it was gas. brought in baby food, medical supplies to help doctors caring for palestinian civilians.

>> steve: right now i'm in our nation's capital one day after 300,000 people rallied for return of hostages. we are going to start this hour not only fly washington but new york where brian is going to show on the touch screen exactly what is going on under that hospital right now in gaza. >> brian: let's take a quick look. a look at just gaza. the gaza strip. first off, where do the israelis want everybody to go? this direction. head to this gate. the ones that stayed in the city, some say they weren't allowed to leave. others say they chose not to leave, have been focusing on gaza city. right here is the city that is surrounded. then they start penetrating in. but the bigger story is what's happening right here at this hospital. it's been confirmed by independent audited that it is true, so forget about the u.s., forget about the idf. forget about israel experts or

pundits. it is true that underneath this hospital in particular is the headquarters. a series of tunnels for hamas. there is also talk that they're on the inside of this hospital, which shows as israelis go in, which by the way a big relief that admiral kirby came out and said what he said just echoing what everybody knew that they go into children centers. they go into mosques, underneath mosques and then they go inside. so, take a look down below, this is roughly what we believe it looks like below. and the deeper you get the more dangerous it gets. so, to find out, to get to that hospital you got to go down and also have to go in. when you go down, they are first sending in for the first part when possible robots until they hit a wall then they know where to go. they go from the best they can. at this moment they are not going to reveal when they actually go inside. so far they have not found any hamas fighters in there they fully expect to do it. meanwhile, the negative publicity being push back last two days try to make it clear. we are not here to hurt anybody. we are here to ghetto hamas

leaders and we are not going to back off simply because we are in some controversial sites. let's take a look at some footage now of what it actually looks like on the ground in and around gaza city as well as it looks likes a we get rid of the am nation, roll in some of the footage, this is what they are seeing and this is what they are seeing and this is what gaza city looked likes a they go not hospital. they have to do the p.r. game, guys, as well as fight this war. nobody wants to hurt any innocent people. but, when hamas decides to hide there, you quote go there. if the goal is toker dick indicate hamas, not just neutralize them. not hurt them, but destroy them, you have no choice. >> lawrence: you are seeing the infantry men doing methodical search as they go through. they are having to clear. remember, there is fighters for hamas on the other side of this as they are going. they're don't know who is friend or foe, ainsley. >> ainsley: yeah. 300,000 here in america though are supporting the efforts, the israeli army at the national

mall down in washington, d.c. it's the largest pro-israel gathering in history. and steve went down there. steve, you probably saw we were watching the images, people draped in the israeli flags. >> steve: absolutely. it was remarkable. people -- and i mentioned this a moment ago, 24 hours ago people were getting into buses and into cars and on to trains and airplanes to all convene there on the national mall. they were expecting -- i think the original permit was for 60,000 people. but one of the estimates is 300,000. and we were right at fourth and constitution. and it went back as far as you could see down the national mall. it was absolutely stunning. because, so many people across this country wanted to be there in solidarity with israel. but, also, to demand the release of the hostages and show gratitude to the united states government for its support. a number of government officials actually took the stage and

talked to the crowd. i was lucky to be there. i have been to a lot of big events over the last 45 years in washington, d.c. but this one yesterday was different. do you know why? because it was to so many pima crowd, it was existential. it was about the survival of israel and that's why they proudly show up yesterday and i proudly spoke to a lot of them. >> are you ready to stand for israel today? [cheers] [chanting bring them home] >> we stand with israel. >> so why did tens of thousands many people show up today in washington? for one reason, to send an absolutely clear message that at this critical moment in history israel is not alone. >> there is no two sides here. this is between the right side, god's side and savages who

worship death. we don't cover our face it's not embarrassing what we are rallying for. it's not right vs. left it's good vs. evil. >> we are not even protesting. we are standing up for our brothers and sisters. >> we are not going to stop. we are going to keep fighting and supporting israel no matter what it takes. >> steve: there are some people who are like you know that october 7th thing never actually happened. >> you can't -- my great grandmother used to say you can't argue with a lunatic. >> steve: christians stand with israel. isn't that why everybody is here just to show israel we have got their back? >> it should be. i have religious beliefs but if i put away the bible i would still believe we need to support israel. >> for years satan has been trying to destroy israel. is he at it again. we are not going to let that happen. >> it's so sad to see how many people are willingly ignorant about all of this and choose not to see this. what we are here doing today is

so important we are able to show. able to show them the truth and able to show them that the jewish people are not going away. not going anywhere. this is a moment we are going to show our grandchildren about. over 200 hostages in israel. we feel obligation to bring them home. >> steve: these are your children. >> yes. >> they're held hostage right now? >> yes. >> this is your daughter. >> yes. and this is my son. and this is my son. >> steve: beautiful children. >> thank you. >> steve: i'm so sorry. >> thank you. >> honestly, i don't think we hear enough about thes who tanks on the news and we need to do everything we can to bring them home. >> at fox we try to do a lot. >> there is nothing better than listening to fox news. they are the one media that's showing what is really happening and getting the truth out. >> we pray for eventual peace. but if you do not conquer hamas who wants death. wants destruction. you'll have more death. so a cease-fire is surrender. >> this is really everyone's war. this is not debatable. these are savages that i'm going

to say something shocking worse than nazis. >> i saw a video yesterday with a baby bottle 10 feet away from missiles and suicide vests. is this a normal thing? no. this isn't normal. we need to stop this. >> these are savages and they are living in our country with us. anyone who doesn't speak out now, it's coming to your neighborhood right now. >> steve: they were loud and clear in why they were there. and there had been some rumors that they might be anti-israel demonstrators there. there were a few on the outskirts but more for the most part the police kept them apart with some bike racks and some police tape it was a day for the history books. >> ainsley: very emotional to watch your piece there, steve. it reminds us in one sense i'm so glad that so many jewish people were together to support one another. because we live among so many

jewish individuals here in new york. and they are not sleeping. and they have continuous anxiety. and i know we are feeling that as christians. if you are jewish, they are even more nervous. they are scared to go outside or scared to walk around their campuses. >> steve: ainsley, the number one thing i saw there were flags of israel. you can see right there in that wide shot. the number two sign i saw there was christians for israel. >> ainsley: that's wonderful. >> steve: so many. i probably talked to 15 pastors who had gotten people on buses chartered planes and stuff like that just to be there yesterday. it was important to show them that, you know, we have different gods. but we are all behind them. >> brian: you know what was interesting is the speakers and cross sections. you had van jones speak. you had debra messing speak. left wing actress. chuck schumer, hakeem jeffries, the house speaker. as another former democrat pointed outside tulsi gabbard, where was harris?

where was the president? sometimes the president has to go out and able to prepare. but the vice president didn't think it was important to go or anyone from the administration important to speak? i thought that was noteworthy, not that they haven't shown backing of israel. no one is saying that. that was a chance to address 300,000 people and explain to them where the most of the democratic party was and is. >> lawrence: i think it was a missed opportunity. you know, when you look at hakeem jeffries. >> brian: did he a great speech. >> lawrence: i was totally shocked by his speech last night. i think, frankly, he gave the best speech out there. he really went through the history. i wonder if the people in his party really heard him lay it out and say this is where we are standing. and to see them at the end all gather hands together almost like a red line to the rest of the world, to the people in this country that are marching in support of hamas with their rhetoric like that. the president should have been

there telling the world this is where we stand. >> ainsley: he doesn't that picture. >> brian: that's a good point. in a way to address 300,000 people and let them know i have got your back shows some bipartisan might be able to win over moderates. ainsley, he has people in his own white house. >> ainsley: that are against this. >> brian: own state department doesn't agree with his policies. a lot of those people have staffers that don't think that we should be as pro-israel as we are number of people i spoke to did show appreciation. can you see the capitol right behind me. it was right behind them as well. and they understood -- i asked them about joe biden and they said well, i think he is at a summit or something and that's what the white house said people

travel by planes, trains and automobiles there was a crazy story we heard about late in the day yesterday. and this is about 1,000 people, jewish americans from detroit, had chartered three airplanes. and they arrived at dulles airport, which is out in virginia about 20 miles from where i'm sitting right here. as it turns out, a couple of the buses showed up but a third of the bus did not because apparently drivers organized a mass sickout when they found out they would be transporting jewish americans to this rally. and they said, you know what? we are not going to show up. so what happened was something like 300 of these people who had flown from detroit, never got off the tarmac. they waited for 11 hours until the people who did go to the rally came back and they could fly home. it's crazy. >> ainsley: the reason was the

three planes had to fly back out together because that's what they were scheduled to do. the chartered flights cannot depart the tarmac without preorganized vehicular transportation. because, when i heard this story why didn't they get off the plane and call ubers and go to the rally. you can't do that you have to have your transportation organized in advance for safety reasons. >> lawrence: i think this is so disgusting on so many levels. >> ainsley: i want to know the name of the bus company and who are these drivers? >> lawrence: show up to book them for anything else the american people shouldn't. i think it's important to note that detroit is the epicenter of a lot of these protests as well. and there's a huge fight going on in michigan, brian for them not to be able to come to d.c. and exercise their voice, i think this is just wrong. >> brian: that's bad. the rally was great. the pushback getting college campuses students at nyu suing the administration at columbia. banned those two pro-palestinian hamas groups from being there.

even though they protested they said you are off campus. i think people are sobering up to understand the threat. anti-semitism is not going to go away. it's going to need to be confronted. i thought yesterday was the first page and a lot of people should feel more secure that american people have their backs. we were at work. no one is protesting in the middle of the day. it caught everybody by surprise. i hope we see more balance out when it documents protest demonstrations andizations. >> ainsley: 300,000 were there. how much watched on television? i know people watched on c-span. people were watching here on fox news a lot networks didn't take it in entirety. they have covered every single rally, march, apparently they could not take. this and we covered it all they dipped in and out of if. it shows you at a time when they need our support where they stand on the issues. will sit down with chinese

president xi jinping in san francisco. >> expected to discuss a range of issues. >> brian: griff jenkins is live in washington with more. what is happenings today, do you think? >> griff: the chinese press sure does like it. look china daily some sees a crucial for the world. down here you see president xi warmly greeted in the great picture. they love it. but here's the deal. china's support of russia and iran, never ending flood of that deadly to the u.s. remember the countless spy balloons sensitivity military. that complicate the san fran summit and biden and xi will sit down face to face for the first anytime a year that has seen relations between the two super powers become increasingly more strained. the goal this time is to open the lines of communication and get back on what biden calls, quote: a normal course of corresponding with nun another. >> we're not trying to decouple

from china. but what we're trying to do is change the relationship for the better. >> griff: president xi got that warm welcome to san fran from california governor gavin newsom where streets were swept clean of the city's decaying crisis. gone were the sprawling homeless encampments and zombie find drug addicts. xi house lawmakers and select china committee blast two u.s. china organizations for hosting xi in $2,000 a plate dinner with american execs who do business with beijing. even offering offering $45,000 tickets to sit at xi's dinner. set to take place after the billing meeting today. we hope to get a glimpse of the face-to-face meeting. then we expect a solo press conference from president biden some time tonight in the early evening hours. a lot of questions about the meeting. and also about what happened

here in washington in that capitol just behind steve. speaker mike johnson showing he can legislate patsing that stop gap bill it. goes to the senate and will need the president's signature before the deadline on saturday. guys? >> brian: griff, i can't get my newspaper boy to deliver news day. you got the chinese daily at your doorstep when you woke up this morning? >> griff: it's unbelievable here. i wanted to point it out because this is obviously the chinese press is run by the communist chinese party. they love it. scene is crucial for the world. and president xi warmly greeted. pictures of american chinese folks holding flags. they want to set the narrative. >> we will see what the end result is. >> ainsley: must for for chinese americans, right? because it's all in english. >> brian: script would be going up and down pointing at the headlines. brief griff you have a little bit of chinese writing on the back i can't. tell you what it says but they are very happy about it.

>> brian: looks like vodka. >> steve: looks like liquor. >> brian: thanks, griff. all hell breaking loose on the hill. lawmakers throwing around. this is crazy. words and elbows. listen. >> >> kevin mccarthy walked behind me and elbowed me in the kidneys he a walked by. >> i would love to do it then. >> stand your butt up. >> you stand your butt up. >> i'm not going to give you your time back. you all continue -- you look like a smurf here going around and all this stuff. >> brian: what about santos yelling in the hall. a live report as washington goes wild. >> steve: like a gigantic cage match. plus, jewish students, including our next guest including 300,000 pro-israel supporters here in washington, d.c. yesterday. >> my george washington university, we've seen anti-semitic hate fests, rallies, supporting murders of israelis.

>> thank you so much. >> steve: it took a lot of courage to do it. but, i wanted to talk -- i know you go to george washington, which is right down the road from here. but up at nyu in new york, apparently students are actually suing the administration because they say, according to their lawsuit, the school has failed to tackle anti-semitism gone through the roof. in the lawsuit it says some of the students at nyu chant to the jewish students hitler was right, gas the jews and things like that. >> yeah. it's crazy. i mean, what we're seeing today around the world and on various college campuses is really -- it echos nazi germany when people say never again is now. it is really the call to action. i would say though that every campus is different. i have seen in d.c. public anti-israel protests, i have seen swastikas and similar conspiracy theories that were prevalent during the nazi era.

i haven't seen those exact ones on g.w. campus fortunately. a lot of the euphemism being used do echo those. they are repackaged this is the way anti-semitism works. fortunately though, we do have a pretty supportive administration, jewish students. i think that if we can work with the administration, to adopted educational curriculum. >> steve: right. >> academic departments diverse and balanced in a way that promotes actual education rather than indoctrination and using the ira definition as a tool to teach people why we need this definition in order to combat what we're facing today. >> steve: so, it's great that your administration is -- has got your back. here's what nyu said in response to the lawsuit. they said the aer is stations -- the assertion information the suit do not accurately describe on campus jewish students go to

campuses where they do not feel safe. you know what? maybe i shouldn't go to school. >> i have friends like that. at a certain point i was feeling that way, too. when the administration goes out and puts out these statements that says, you know, we support all students but at the end of the day, this is a matter of safety and we're here to protect your safety. i think that shows a lot. it's important. >> steve: indeed. sabryna, great to meet you great speech yesterday. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> steve: coming up, police search for a third suspect after officers are attacked at a subway station. first, president biden's high stakes summit with president xi on the agenda, fentanyl, former director of national intel, john ratcliffe on what to expect, he's next. ♪ at ameriprise financial, our advice is personalized, based on your goals, whatever they may be. all that planning has paid off. looks like you can make this work. we can make this work. and the feeling of confidence that comes from our advice?

summit in northern california. the president will reportedly hope to stabilize u.s. communications with the ccp. we have none. despite the fentanyl crisis and spy balloon, which they never apologized for. in fact, they want it back. let's bring in john ratcliffe, former director of national intelligence and former texas congressman. great to see you. john. your thoughts about this summit and should it happen at all? >> well, you know, i'm not against talking with the leaders of even our adversaries. we should be doing those things. but, in this case, you know, this really seems, brian, like the culmination of the biden begging tour. you know, he has been sending cabinet members over there pleading for a meeting. and, as griff jenkins talked about a few minutes ago, you know, rolling out the red carpet for president xi is rewarding him for his bad behavior. before you even get to the spy balloon, can we start with the fact that our intelligence community increasingly assesses with confidence that it was a

lab leak at the wuhan institute of virology that killed a million americans? and president xi has done nothing but give, you know, the middle finger to the biden administration in terms of any investigation into that. and now we are trying to reestablish communications as you pointed out for shooting down their spy balloon after it completed its mission. so, you know, no transgression is too great. the chinese media, of course, does lo that we're rolling out the red carpet. you know, and this shouldn't be taking place under these circumstances and that's why i have such low expectations for what is going to come out of this because the biden administration's policies toward china has been to continue to treat an adversary that is robbing the united states blind, the rising china has been built on the backs of intellectual property theft and economic and

military espionage. and, you know, their bad behavior has continued for the last three years and being rewarded with it for this type of meeting. >> brian: china in september they flooded the skies of ghawrn a 24-hour period with 103 aircraft. on the 25th the chinese fighter jet flew within 10 feet of americans b 52 bomber. the governor of california went over there and said hey, you look great. i love it here. i hope to be president. so, you believe that china has a press conference in the next election. and because of that, they might be willing to give something up in this meeting? >> yeah. i think china is going to come in and give the allusion of engagement on these issues whether it's nuclear talks. whether it's artificial intelligence, whether it's fentanyl control. some modicum of success. they will announce working groups, which will be about as effective as the working groups. the international working groups into covid origins investigations to mean not effective at all.

but, yeah, it's not even my opinion, brian, look, our intelligence community assessed in 2020, that china preferred joe biden win. they thought his policies would advance china around the globe and on the map. and that's proven to be the case. they have advanced everywhere in the world. and, you know, they want that to continue. our intelligence community has assessed that china has a press preference for there to continue to be the policies of joe biden moving forward. i think that's why, you know, there is going to be the announcement that there has been progress on this and that it's hopeful that our relationship with china is going to improve. look, they want a guy who says that our greatest national security threat in this country is climate change. when china is the largest polluter in the world, the largest provider of carbon emissions that contributes to climate change. but, yet, according to joe biden, they are just a strategic competitor and the real enemy is

it climate change. that's great. that's great for china. you know, it's good -- joe biden has been 2k3wr5eu9 for the chinese communist party and the rise of china over the last three years and they want that to continue after 2024. >> brian: that statement was yesterday about climate change, number with it one. and number two they promised to look into more renewables but no pledge to stop building coal plants that and the precursors and crack counsel on precursors to fentanyl. we will see if we get any more take aways from that i'm not thrilled with the ceo to spend 40$40,000 to sit down. seems anti-american. i wouldn't do it. the chairman of the select committee on china policy mike gallagher feels the same way if you look at his tweets. john ratcliffe, thanks so much. >> you bet. 2k3wr5eu9 to see you, brian. >> brian: carley shimkus is at disclosed location to give us the news. >> carley: i certainly am, brian. starting with america's crime crisis. the nypd still searching for the suspect days after two of their own were attacked in a bronx

subway station. political science say the officers tried removing a group of men from the station on monday, after they refused to put out their cigarettes. that's when they were seen hitting one of the officers in the head. two suspects are already charged with assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. new emails revealed the national archives it and records administration quietly retrieved nine boxes of documents from president biden the day after the 2022 midterms on election night a top official wrote to a colleague, quote: on wednesday i will be asking you to send to staff to retrieve and then secure some materials from a law firm. this needs to be done with the utmost professionalism and discretion. it's unclear if the documents taken from the boston law firm were classified. the revelation comes as a special counsel looks into biden's handling of documents from his time as vice president. more to come on that, i am sure, steve, over to you.

>> steve: all right, carley, thank you very much. >> carley: you are welcome. >> steve: yesterday big win for the house speaker mike johnson as the house passed a bill to avoid a government shutdown this weekend. tom emmer joins us in the bureau to react. you got it smile it's a good day. >> you referred to me as the minority whip i'm the majority whip. i hope we are not in the minority yet. >> steve: not yet. there were a bunch of republicans though that didn't want this passed. 57% only 57% of republicans voted for it? >> i think a lot more would have voted for it but for the fact that democrats decided at the last minute they were going to support it. when that happened, you saw republicans jumping off. look, there's -- the republican -- the vast majority of the republican conference under mike's leadership recognizes that you have to fight to win. you got pick those fights where you can actually advance the ball. what mike johnson did yesterday what the house republicans did. every republican should have voted for it.

but i'm sure, you know, worry about how do i go home and explain this. i will tell you, we broke the christmas omni. a year ago we were doing $1.7 trillion, just before the holidays. the people. >> steve: don't read it. got to go home. >> we have ended that we won't be doing that now we have an opportunity over the next several weeks to do the actual conferencing of these bills with the senate and do an appropriations process, that, steve, hasn't been done in 30 years. >> steve: tom, the problem is because it's a two-step process come janet the same people who wanted big cuts are going to say okay we passed it back in november, we want the big cuts now. >> human beings are not static animals. they are going to move all over. >> steve: are you sure? >> i know i work with them all day. it's special in the political sphere there is a lot of passion and emotion for tightly held beliefs. but i think a lot of the people that voted against it yesterday wasn't just they didn't want to take the time to go home and

explain why this was necessary to do it this way. it's also because they do not trust the process. even though they trust the speaker. they want to see action. so i think as we move forward with the appropriations process, the way the speaker has designed it, i think you will get a lot of believers by the time we get to january. >> steve: let's hope so. the previous speaker, kevin mccarthy who lost his job because he worked with democrats, he was yesterday in the midst of another brouhaha. did he walk behind congressman burchett and give him an elbow in the back? watch this. >> kevin mccarthy walked by and he elbowed me in the kidneys he a walked by. >> you felt it was on purpose and not an accident. >> 100 percent on purpose, ma'am. what are the chances. >> did you elbow him. >> no i did not elbow. know would not elbow. i would not hit him in the kidney. >> i guessed our elbows hit as we walked by. i didn't punch anybody. >> steve: you also had that hearing that devolved into essentially a cage match. another conditioning on your

side called another congressman a democrat a smurf. what the heck is going on? >> you know, people have been -- first off, all those people are great people. i don't care if they're republicans or democrats. there's no issue with that. but you have got -- we have been there for 10 weeks. you have had people in the capitol working at a very high intensity level. >> steve: just boiled over yesterday? >> i think, look, we are accomplishing things that we set off to do. which we avoided a government shutdown days before it was actually going to hit. when's the last time that has happened. we have got the holiday break, the thanksgiving break that's coming next week. i would just suggest, steve, it couldn't be at a better time. >> steve: no kidding. he is the house majority whip, tom, thank you very much. >> thank you, steve. >> steve: your office is right over there. you are going to be the first one in there today. you can start answering phones. >> thank you. >> steve: all right. ainsley, over to you. >> carley: thank you, steve. coming up live today right here on the fox news channel at 9:00
