this is much more comparable to the thin flowing lava that is oozing out on hawaiian islands and it is more comparable to rio. >> they expect it to happen on land. there are about a 10-mile long fissure. that will determine how severe this eruption will be. already thousands of earthquakes have damaged buildings and caused craters in this town. at this point it's a wait and see approach. we could get a two-hour warning before said eruption could happen. >> martha: it will be interesting. we hope everybody is okay there and hope it is as the scientist says. in the meantime a beautiful live shot, bryan llenas, a great look at a beautiful place on earth. thank you very much. good to see you, bryan.

[gunfire] >> bill: these are the latest images inside gaza. israel's incursion three weeks old in gaza. new report that israel, hamas closer to reaching a deal on the hostages. watch that story. there has been a lot of reporting throughout the week. it hasn't happened yet. we can hold out hope. i'm bill hemmer in new york. dana is in nashville for the big patriot awards later tonight. martha and i have the duties in new york city. >> martha: good morning. let's get right to it. sensitive negotiations are underway right now for a potential hostage deal. we've been hearing about it over the last several days. we understand that they are making some headway between israel and hamas. >> bill: the potential terms are

quite specific. it would reportedly include 3 to 5 days of no fighting and then after that hamas would release up to 50 women and children on day one. israel will release a similar number of palestinian women and children held in israeli prisons in return. >> martha: then hamas would release ten more hostages each day of the cease-fire. when the hostage release stops, the cease-fire stops and israel would permit fuel and aid into gaza. >> bill: the progress comes after israeli special forces ramp up their pressure on hamas physically going inside that large hospital in gaza city, which is believed to be a disguise for hamas's command center. team fox coverage begins a new hour. where investigators are looking into u.s. nonprofits for possible to links to hamas. trey yengst back getting a firsthand look inside the

al-shifa hospital in gaza city. let's beginning with you. hello. >> good morning. the israeli raid of gaza's al-shifa hospital is ongoing at this hour. overnight we joined israeli special forces to get a front line look at the battles between israel and hamas. in the dark of night, flanked by israeli special forces, we move quickly into gaza's al-shifa hospital. you can hear the israelis are engaged in gun battles here with hamas. down a hallway in the radiology department soldiers point to piles of weapons and hamas booklets as evidence the building was used for military purposes. behind an mri machine more guns and ammunition. part of hamas grab bags feet away from injured palestinians. >> in terms of the patients here, there are hundreds of palestinian civilians, more than 1,000 internally displaced, are they being protected? >> first of all, they are

unharmed, which is very important to state. no palestinian civilian was even hurt, injured, in yesterday's activity. >> as part of our embed israeli forces controlled what areas of the hospital we could report from. you can hear the gun battles raging on outside of the hospital grounds. leaving the hospital beneath the roar of israeli drones, light illuminates the path. we head to a staging area before switching vehicles. taking jeeps across gaza provides a glimpse of the destruction along the strip with entire neighborhoods destroyed, many palestinians will have no homes to return to. despite the rising civilian death toll and widespread destruction the israelis plan to continue their military campaign until hamas is destroyed and the hostages are freed. the israelis say gaza's al-shifa hospital is a headquarters for

hamas with tunnels underneath it. they didn't show us the tunnels but they continue to dig. >> bill: trey, we have heard not a lot, frankly, about these hostages but we understand they did find information about them. how much of that did they reveal with you? >> absolutely. one of the first things the israelis told us when they came out to take us into gaza, they talked about the hostages and the critical information they were able to recover. take a listen to this lieutenant colonel who describes what they found. >> this bag is from the mri center. all of this here was taken. was found there. and we're bringing it out for processing. handwritten notes and computer where we found pictures and video of hostages and of hamas combatants being interrogated. >> on these you said you have names of hostages? >> of hostages.

pictures of hostages and what appears to be at a quick glance files of hostages. >> fox news was not given access to the laptops or documents to confirm what they contained. >> bill: more when we get it as the sun drops for another day there. thank you, trey. martha. >> martha: did the united states government take its eye off of threats from hamas? rich edson joins us live at the state department. good morning, rich. >> good morning, martha. there is a renewed focus on hamas where the terrorist organization gets its money. analysts say the u.s. government had been prioritizeing other threats to the united states. after the october 7th attacks there is a renewed focus on hamas and its financing network. >> the congressional hearings on the topic there is a lot of movement, there is a lot of resources being shifted looking at both hamas and hezbollah and

other shia networks in the u.s. and worldwide when it comes to funding. this is becoming once again a priority. >> the professor and his program on extremism at george washington university released a report detailing decades of hamas-linked organizations operating in the u.s. federal government prosecuted many of them decades ago. the report says these groups have displayed a remarkable resilience. they can be difficult to track. he says the current presence of hamas funding groups in the u.s. is unclear. aid on the house ways and means committee say they are investigating a handful of american-based charities to see if they are financing the terrorist organization in any way. yesterday chris wray testified federal law enforcement as multiple investigations into individuals affiliated with hamas and last month the treasury department announced sanctions on what it calls key hamas operatives in places and

countries like gaza, sudan, turkey, algeria and qatar. they have a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars a year and the primary sponsor is iran. back to you. >> martha: we've heard technology and weaponry is better than people expected in the confrontation. thank you very much. >> bill: we showed you this last hour near boston university and a bridge in boston near the area of cambridge and b.u. campus. a group called if not now. and they declare themselves to be jews living in america. american citizens who are jewish, who say cease-fire now. it's written on the banners they are carrying across the bridge. let gaza live and free the hostages. we pointed out this is the same group at grand central station three weeks ago on a friday night and shut everything down. the turnout was massive. martha, when you think about it,

you think about the anti-israeli rallies that we've talked about and we've seen across the country. that was really, i feel, looking bang now to see 1,000 people in mid town manhattan in black t-shirts calling for a cease-fire long before idf got into gaza city. people stopped and said what's going on? what's happening in america? >> martha: interesting to see how all of this was so close to the surface and it bubbled up to the -- into everyone's eye view as soon as this happened. that was during the bombing campaign when they were trying to soften up some of the targets in the city and many people were killed during that. it is interesting to see this jewish group protesting in favor of palestinians. what it makes me think of are the kibbutz and the areas along southern israel in gaza where many of the people who were killed were people who worked

volunteering in gaza, who wanted better relations between the palestinians and israelis. so you see a lot of different mindsets this. this looks like a peaceful demonstration happening in boston right now. >> bill: let's keep it that way as opposed to outside the dnc headquarters last night. roll this. [shouting] >> martha: u.s. capitol police fighting violent protestors outside the democratic national committee headquarters last night. pro-palestinian rally that turned into an intense clash. police were as it got deeper into this last night forced to use pepper spray on protestors. lawmakers were ordered to evacuate the building and put part of the building on lockdown. six officers are being treated for their injuries. one person was arrested for assaulting a police officer and

still some of the demon stateors insisted that this was a peaceful demonstration. >> there were about 300 protestors in front of the dnc right now holding we are hear to mandate a cease-fire, to stop the genocide in gaza that has killed over 11,000 people since october 7th. >> bill: that was last night. couple arrests made as well. couple injuries to capitol hill police officers. the polling are you comfortable with limiting free speech of people rallying support for hamas? 60% said no. i think about the scene in new york and one of the construction workers ripped down the pictures of the hostages saying you can't do that in this country. so if it's good for one side it has to be good for the other out of fairness.

want to bring in karl rove joining us now. good morning to you. i think about the raid -- not a raid, the rally that got violent outside of d.c. headquarters last night as compared to the 290,000 for israel the day before. you look at it from a political view and you have to admit the democratic party has a problem. how do they deal with it? >> they have a big problem because, you know, that scene on the mall of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people waving american flags, israeli flags, peaceably supporting israel in this moment of crisis, democrat and republican leaders on the stage thanking the crowd for their support and then we see black shirted thugs trying to break into the democratic national committee in order to confront the leadership of the house democrats who were there for meetings. they wanted to quote, engage

them. well, i bet those democrat members of congress are happy they weren't engaged. we saw the definition of engagement when these people started to beat up on the police, lock arms and keep people from coming in or out of the democratic national committee. the democratic left has violent anti-israel element. pro-hamas, pro-hezbollah, pro-radical organizations in the middle east. they have an element that supports all that. and they are making their voices heard. think about that woman talking about genocide. really? the people who were involved in genocide were the hamas terrorists who said kill the jews. kill the jewish state. so the democrats have got a big problem and it has been growing for some time. it is being fanned by the democratic socialists of america and other left wing groups inside the democratic party and hard for them to excise them from the ranks of their

leadership. >> martha: a lot of these folks chanting genocide joe in front of the white house. we saw that protest a few days back, karl. here is one of our brand-new fox polls asked about people's top concerns in the country and 82% say they are extremely or very concerned about threats to personal rights. 74% about the israel/hamas war. attacks by islamic terrorists here at home. potential for that 73%. that's now up 23 points since may. your thoughts on that and what the political impact potentially is of that. >> that is a pretty dramatic jump up and getting back to the levels we had in the after math after 9/11 when americans felt intensely about this. look, this is a recognition that our country scan to go to sleep on the issue of trans global islam terrorist threats and now

we're awakening that it could come again. hamas struck israel but there are other elements of this terror network around the world who want to strike america. have never stopped thinking about how they can hurt america again like they did on 9/11. our intelligence community and the f.b.i. and have been working against this threat. the department of homeland security. but it is real and we saw how it could happen in israel. it wouldn't necessarily happen exactly in that way but there are people in this world who want to hurt america just like they did on 9/11. >> bill: thanks. good reflection, too. interesting to see whether or not that number is as high as it has been in the past 20 years. nice to see you. >> martha: thank you, karl. >> thank you. >> president biden: he is a guy that runs a country that is the kind of country based on their form of government totally different than ours.

>> martha: refer to president xi jinping as a dictator after the two leaders met for a four-hour summit in san francisco yesterday. jacque heinrich live from san francisco covering all this for us. hi, jacque. >> yeah, after the summit both leaders had good things to say about their time together. the president called it some of the most productive and constructive time he has had with his chinese counterpart. president xi said the planet is big enough for both great powers to co-exist and also saying that they are fully capable of rising above their differences. that question and answer in the press conference when president biden said that xi is a dictator, appeared to cause heartburn for the secretary of state and kurt campbell. you can see kurt campbell, biden's coordinator for the indo-pacific looked like he was taken aback by the president's frankness.

the style of government he runs is different than ours is how he felt. a little concern among the top diplomats in the biden administration. xi met the business leaders. 400 executives were there, apple's tim cook and a bunch of wall street and silicon valley heavy weights and government officials and the commerce secretary. xi's message china wants to be friends and do more business together. >> china is ready to be a partner and friend of the united states. the fundamental principles that we follow in handling china/u.s. relations are mutual respect, peaceful co-existence and

win/win cooperation. if we see each other as competitors it will lead to outcomes. >> martha: promising an unwanted outcome if there is pushback. >> it's a clear national security risk. the fact that we have put the leading news source for the next generation of americans for the most impressionable minds of our society in the leads of our adversary. historians will say it's national self-sabotage. >> bill: old terror threat trending anew on tiktok is what he is talking about. bin laden has been dead and buried for a dozen years. why his words are getting new attention online today. plus this. >> they choose -- medical child

abuse. >> that's when they told me i had to leave. that my daughter was under state custody. >> dana: it's a chilling story. a teenager at the center of a very lively watched netflix documentary just finished their trial and they were awarded $2$61 million after the lawsuit against a florida children's hospital was found liable in the mother's suicide. she will join us, maya joins us to talk about her ordeal and the legal battle and the loss of her mother and their big win for their family.

>> bill: now the world's most

infamous frist finding new life on social media. a letter written by osama bin laden going viral on tiktok. the catch many didn't know. it was written 21 years ago. bin laden has been dead since 2011. the letter was meant to justify the attacks of 9/11. another issue. thousands on tiktok expressing their agreement with bin laden's message. >> you need to go read. it is two pages. go read a letter to america. i am going through a crisis right now. >> i will never look at life the same. i will never look at this country the same. >> bill: well, u.s. navy seal team took him out in pakistan 12 years ago. we should note that was the feed that came from the guardian out of london, england and since removed it from the website. it is gone now but not before social media bounces around the world faster than you can stop

it. we talked to mike gallagher. he is no fan of tiktok. to hear from democratic lawmakers saying it should be banned at well. here is what he said last hour. >> these people are, of course, massive idiots. for someone on tiktok to somehow suggest this is america's fault or that bin laden, who killed thousands of innocent americans was right, is absolutely disgusting and further evidence that we need to ban tiktok. >> bill: i don't know if he will get his wish in the end. he is not budging from his position. >> martha: i never thought i would see the day that american young people were saying bin laden was right in the end. amazing. we'll do more on that later this afternoon. >> we were just blessed we saw something working. but maya relapseed. to be honest, explained to the emergency room, this is what needs to be done. >> you don't understand how much medication is safe to control

her pain. >> martha: that is part of the documentary take care of maya, 10-year-old maya after she developed a rare pain condition as a child. a florida hospital accused maya's parents of abuse and were barred from seeing her for months. maya is 17 now. she has just been in the middle of a two-month trial. in the end the jury awarded her family with $2 hundred million after suing the facility for medical negligence and false imprisonment. johns hopkins all children's hospital. maya and her attorney, greg anderson, join us now. thank you very much for being with us. maya, your mom, took her life because she was barred from seeing you. she lost control of her own child to a hospital. give us a sense of what your mom

was doing for you and how misunderstood this trial has decided and you knew all along their reaction to her was. >> i know that my mom gave up her life for me. i understood that at the age of 11 years old. she did that and now i'm able to go on. i try to live my life as positively as i can but i want people to know that in her doing that she wasn't giving up. as a matter of fact, that's the only way she saw for us to win. >> martha: greg, i watched some of the trial. you were arguing they ignored the diagnosis of maya's doctor, that she had crps, a chronic pain syndrome. they didn't even acknowledge that diagnosis and the medication that she was taking for it, and they came to the conclusion that maya was being

abused because her mother was treating her -- explain to everybody what they were -- how they were getting away with this at this point. >> right. martha, it was a bit surreal because there were medical records within johns hopkins where they had seen her some 17 times. this was not her first visit there. and since the diagnosis by dr. kirkpatrick at the rsd institute everyone had adopted that crps. on this one evening a team of e.r. doctors decided for whatever reason that they would go against five different experts and decide that it didn't meet their own internal protocols, which they really didn't have any, and changed everything. changed the family's worldened changed the medical diagnosis

internally. the best way i can describe it is surreal. these people just never got it. the fact that they continued to bill for crps after telling everybody that she didn't have it, and reporting her to dcf, department of family and children claiming she didn't have it, i think the jury got it very quickly. >> martha: the hospital contended that your mother had a syndrome that indicated that she thought there was always something wrong with you and that she was treating you inappropriately, and that your symptoms were sort of part of her imagination that she was able to transpose onto you. what would you say to the world about your symptoms and how real they were and are? >> well, first off i would like

to say it is preposterous would say my mother was forcing these symptoms onto me. you have to remember, her and i both we didn't know what i had. no one did. she couldn't come up with a list of symptoms and make up this disease. my symptoms were extremely real. they manifested quite greatly and at times it was quite scary. i am just grateful we found the right doctor at the right time who saved my life. >> martha: you were alone in the hospital. you couldn't see your parents, they couldn't see you. i can't even imagine how excruciating that was for both of your parent and how lonely you must have felt as a child when suddenly your parents stopped coming to see you. now you are claiming that during that period, there was a sexual abuse incident and you are suing this organization in a new lawsuit, correct? >> i am claiming that there was sexual abuse. it is something that i was quite

quiet about for a couple of years because i was worried it wasn't going to be taken seriously. >> martha: you want to make a comment. >> suppression of these things is not unusual. >> martha: we'll follow the future of this story and we wish you, your dad, your brother well, maya and we hope you can find some peace with all of this after this determination by the jury that went in your direction. thank you, greg and maya, good to have you both on today. >> thank you so much. >> bill: good luck to you. 31 past the hour. breaking news on the hill on the embattled republican congressman george santos crossing right now where the house ethics committee is releasing a highly-anticipated report. it is scathing apparently. chad pergram has the news now. what's in it? >> good morning, it's pretty damming here.

no punishment but they conclude he sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his house candidacy for personal benefit. in the report we found that he used some of the money that he raised campaign funds to pay for credit cards. also a $4 thousand payment with hermes. michael guest is the chairman of the house ethics committee from mississippi and he has indicated to fox this morning that he will file a resolution to expel george santos when the house of representatives comes back to session next week. it takes 2/3 to expel. they have only expelled five members in history, bill. >> bill: chad pergram with breaking news. more to come on that. we'll get to it throughout the day. thank you, chad. 33 minutes past the hour now. >> president biden: xi, and i believe some of the most constructive and productive discussions we've had. we haven't always agreed but

they've been straight forward. and today built on the ground work we laid over the past several most of high level diplomacy between our teams we have made important progress, i believe. >> bill: they were playing nice it appears. president biden and president xi jinping. he changed his tune hours later when he was asked about whether or not he was a dictator, right? so he doubled down on that. the meeting comes after multiple incidents of spying and aggression from china. want to bring in marc thiessen. fox news contributor and former assistant secretary of defense. crossing right now on the wires john kirby is doing an interview and he is saying that biden made clear to xi that the u.s. is pursuing peace and stability across the taiwan strait but will provide self-defense capabilities to taiwan. the reason that is significant, marc, is during the summit the

chinese foreign minister put out a statement about how beijing feels about taipei. let's start there, go ahead. >> well, yes, we have to defend taiwan and the reality is that the world is becoming the threats to taiwan are growing, risk of a war in taiwan is growing. and we need to strengthen our deterrence. if you look at the world right now the united states is projecting weakness. our weakness has enticed russia into a war in ukraine, enticed iran to start a war in the middle east and these are alaare -- the chinese could say this is the perfect movement and move on taiwan. we need to restore deterrence. the way you do that is by defeating the russians in ukraine, defeating iran and helping israel defeat hamas and by sending a message of

deterrence that don't dare take a shot at taiwan or we'll defund them. >> bill: how do you rate it? >> i'm very concerned. there have been a lot of valid criticisms about the fact that the administration is basically begging xi not to unsteady the relationship according to three officials saying we're busy. i'm actually even more worried after reading news reports about what was discussed. obviously as marc puts it china is in a peacetime military build-up. they're actively preparing for war. we don't know if or when they might go. they're preparing for a war over taiwan. in their interest to deceive and lull us. looking at some of the read-outs about what xi actually said, i don't think he minced word. he said something like peace is all well and good but at some point this needs to be resolved or words to that effect. also said our economic measures

are meant to strangle us. i think he gave a pretty clear message. a good look at president biden and i'm skeptical that's having him quake in his boots. >> bill: you may be on to something. kirby said biden made clear he wants no more american deaths over fentanyl. if you watch the press conference last night, marc, he said more people in the united states between the ages of 18 and 49 died from fentanyl every year than from guns, car accidents, or any other cause period. if you know that, what in the world has taken us so long? >> what in the world made them think they should have the summit in san francisco where people are lying in the streets dying from the fentanyl that china is sending us? you know, this was a huge propaganda victory for the chinese communist party. they were able to point to the

san francisco where a city where there are people have to walk in the middle of the street to avoid people shooting up on the streets and say this is why democracy doesn't work and they're laughing at us why they're doing it because it is their fentanyl and we turn around and turn it into a -- such a propaganda victory for xi jinping. >> bill: wrap up. eldridge. >> asking their help is delusional, charitable. xi gave a president to president trump to curb the fentanyl issue and it's a true national crisis as you point out, bill. in the meantime we're also helping -- asking xi's help on the iran/middle east issue. what he might be doing is giving a smell about our level of resolve where he is thinking peace is fine but we have to resolve this issue, that's the

main message we should take. >> more than guns, car accidents or any other cause, nice to have you both on. we'll have you on again soon. >> martha: the grinches are everywhere. walking into stores and stealing whatever they want with no fear of being arrested thanks to soft on crime policies tlout the last year or so. folks shopping online are dealing with looters raiding the delivery trucks. grady trimble reporting for fox business. >> we used to talk about porch pirates when crooks would steal packages from your door. now they seem to be going to delivery trucks full of your packages. in memphis on saturday police say a group of cars blocked a fedex delivery truck. a swarm of people broke into the truck, stealing 100,000 worth of other people's deliveries. when memphis police arrived,

they say they saw multiple vehicles leaving the area at high rates of speed and driving recklessly and multiple boxes all over the area with various items thrown all over the road. in d.c. on tuesday a man pulled a gun on and carjacked an amazon delivery driver. police say had already carjacked another vehicle and was trying to get away from the cops. he led them on an intense chase before they eventually surrounded and arrested him. a new gallup poll shows that 63% of americans say the u.s. crime problem is extremely or very serious, up from 54% when last measured back in 2021. nearly a third of those surveyed say they or someone in their household has been the victim of a crime. republican lawmakers blame the rise in crime in part on progressive district attorneys. many of them receive

contributions by george soros-linked past and a new analysis says his son, alex, quote, will be even worse than his dad. alex soros you might remember took over his father's nonprofit open society foundations over the summer. he says he is more political than his dad and his social media profiles are filled with pictures with world leaders here in the u.s. and abroad. >> martha: thank you very much. >> bill: new fox polling numbers, the leading republican contenders in a head-to-head match-up with president biden and tell you what we find coming up. >> martha: will china follow through and crack down on companies exporting chemicals for fentanyl? we'll meet a mother who lost her son to fentanyl and is trying to help others before it is too late for them. >> getting that agreement to have a chinese crack down on law enforcement and export of these

chemical ingredients that make fentanyl a huge achievement. there is a lot more work to do. helps save kids with cancer worldwide. you'll find our treatments and research breakthroughs everywhere, from a college freshman's room in america's west to a college graduation in america's south to a medical school in south america. ava: that can be me someday. marlo thomas: give thanks for the healthy kids in your life, and give a gift that could last a lifetime.

china to the western hems is fear. >> he announced a new agreement with china after meeting with president xi. many are wondering if the promised crackdown will really impact the fentanyl crisis here in america. lisa dean lost her son in 2018 to fentanyl poisoning and became a voice through change through her organization demand 0. lisa, good to have you with us. 2018 probably feels like yesterday. >> five years and it does feel like yesterday. >> martha: what do you think of the agreement? will it get us anywhere? >> i don't think so. i don't know what kind of deal this is. substantially curb? i would like to know who had that description of this deal. i think it's great they talked about it. that's wonderful. but i think he should have been a lot more direct and i thought -- i think that he should have

said look, you have 48 hours to totally shut down those manufacturing plants. we are going to classify it as a weapons of mass destruction and if you don't we'll send our troops to do it for you. this is all chitchat all the time. nothing ever gets done and off the backs of over 100,000 dead americans that were poisoned last year. >> bill: 12-month period ends december of 2022. 75,000. in 2021, 70,000. the numbers are ridiculous. going back to 2018. 31,000 back then. we mentioned this in a previous segment. the president last night said fentanyl kills more americans than car wrecks, guns, anything, period. those were his words. >> he is using -- he is using actual figures from another nonprofit faces of fentanyl.

so he is using our statistics to describe a national security crisis that is happening. you know, nonprofits and narcan can't do the whole job. we need him. the cbp, dea, all the nonprofits are warriors our derrick multis and sarah and tom homan. we work like dogs every day trying to save lives. this administration owes us big time. we are throwing millions of dollars into education, prevention, awareness. we need more help from this white house. we aren't getting it. we're just not getting it. >> martha: we traced the precursor elements china, to mexico, to labs there. as you point out, you know, if someone were attacking us in this country and taking this many lives and when you see those numbers it is going up exponentially every single year, and it doesn't feel like we

heard the urgency from the president on this issue that is taking all of these mostly young lives in this country. >> they had a nice lunch, i understand. he had such an opportunity, and again, lost. i don't think he mentioned it last time. at least he mentioned it this time. he is not bold enough and we don't know why. how many people have to die or who has to die? >> bill: agree with you. the chinese foreign ministry said this in april of this year. the root cause of overdose lies in the u.s. itself. the problem is completely made in the u.s. the u.s. should face up to its own problems and take more substantive measures to strengthen domestic supervision and reduce demand. i can't think that makes you feel any better. >> not at all. there will always be demand. we have a national security crisis of a poison that has
