>> by putting more police on the street you'll have safety that's wrong. >> she supports sanctuary laws and di criminalizing illegal immigration. >> we won't treat people undocumented who cross the border as criminal. >> as d.a. she supported the d.c. gun on handgun ownership. prop 47 has led to a mess in california. many then and now blame harris for misleading voters and giving no warning on the consequences. >> shannon: william, thank you. >> bill: thank you. from the middle east you have an entire country on the front lines. hezbollah puts israel on notice from the north. warning it could target cities like tel aviv and jerusalem as the drumbeat of all out war becomes more real by the day. dana has the week off and back on monday. here we go to breamer.
7:01 am
>> bill: >> shannon: i'm shannon bream. tel aviv israel's commercial capital densely packed with civilians. for iran and proxies it is a rich target. >> bill: you have a ring of fire surrounding israel. terror threats on each border to the north, south, east, hezbollah, hamas, houthis sharing a goal of wiping israel off the map. >> shannon: they stem from iran. the question now is the biden-harris administration doing enough to protect our closest ally in the middle east? >> we would not be where we are today with all of these proxies operationalized and axis of resistance trying to destroy israel if the biden administration had just strengthened what the trump
7:02 am
administration was doing. built on that success. >> bill: well robert greenway stands by with analysis on the big strategic picture and what comes next. first let's start with trey yengst, chief foreign correspondent live in haifa, israel. >> good morning. just as you tossed to me here my security is handing me the phone. there are sirens sounding just about two miles from where we are standing right now. hezbollah is launching new attacks into northern israel. it gives you a sense of how fluid the situation here in the northern part of the country is. earlier today we saw one israeli fighter jet overhead. it was flying north. tension does remain high along the border over fears that hezbollah could launch a new attack against israel. overnight the israelis launched new air strikes against hezbollah in southern lebanon. israeli media says hezbollah, the group in southern lebanon, could strike israel first in a series of broader attacks
7:03 am
targeting major cities like haifa and tel aviv. hezbollah's leader made new threats against israel this week and overnight lebanese media reported heavy drone activity over southern lebanon. an indication israel is gathering fresh intelligence on the group and they prepare for expanded conflict in the north and preemptive action. iran may be reconsidering its strike against israel. some believe iran is recalculating given the large u.s. presence in the region and israeli promises of a harsh response if civilian areas are hit. matt miller said this. >> this is a very delicate time for the region. we're in the final stages of a cease-fire deal hopefully. escalation has the potential to make every problem the region faces worse. and so the message that we are impressing upon everyone in the region is that no party should take any steps to escalate this
7:04 am
conflict. >> as we speak, sirens continue to sound just north of where we are in the city of haifa. we're getting new reports out of gaza today of fresh israeli air strikes there as israel goes after hamas positions in the central part of the strip. >> bill: multi-front there is a story that continues in israel and started on october 7th. you have written the book, the title is "black saturday." that book although written by you is not yet finished as a story. tell us about that? >> black saturday is a book about the day this war began that is still unfolding before our eyes today. the book was written along the gaza border as we covered this story live. it takes the reader through what it was like on that fateful morning not just from our perspective but the perspective of police officers, soldiers, civilians taken hostage into the
7:05 am
tunnels beneath gaza and speak with top israeli leadership and the country's defense minister, hamas officials and palestinian civilians. the only book of its kind. if you are interested in israel and the war that is unfolding right now in current events you will want to get a copy of this book to learn more about how this war began and what it was like in the early days of this conflict. >> bill: no doubt about it for sharing that with us. the book black saturday is out now. >> shannon: let's bring in robert greenway. it is not an inexpensive proposition to be fighting constantly against iran and its proxies. want to put up the estimated costs here. more than a billion dollars to the u.s. navy alone. when we look at specific weapons that we've gone through. we have all kinds of missiles and other things. not only does it cost money but decompletes our stockpiles and ability to help in hot spots around the world war. we think of taiwan and china
7:06 am
being a vulnerable spot. >> you are absolutely right. shannon. you bring up a great point. thank you for having me. as we just found out from the congressional report on the national defense strategy which echoed the same findings in the heritage index u.s. military strength our military is already incapable from a capability sand point to address threats from china, russia and three conflicts across different continents. the cost is closer to $2 billion in operations in the red sea alone according to congressional appropriations expensive missile systems required to defend against the houthi threat. in the end the loss of deterrence in the middle east impacts or military and partners and allies and come odd dee prices are increasing 20% because of the disruption of a traffic route. if the conflict escalates global markets will increase the burden
7:07 am
on the american taxpayer. >> editor in chief of a lebanese newspaper saying hezbollah is likely to target tel aviv. take that on the surface, okay? approach this one, too. "washington post", a piece out in "politico" already today talking will how iran is second guessing an attack on israel. do you believe that, buy that, think this administration has convinced them that a response would be devastating to them and perhaps beirut? >> no, unfortunately i don't. first those reports are coming from the administration. so i think that's again wishful thinking. we have been attacked 220 times. u.s. forces and interests since october alone. we responded only ten times and earlier this week seven american service members were killed in an iranian sponsored attack in iraq for which we have yet to
7:08 am
respond, less condemn. we have not restored deterrence. i think iran is taking their time having learned of the attack on israel in april. we can see an impact and respond that will expand and include our interests inside the u.s. homeland where our open borders have provided for the capabilities we can't begin to understand yet let alone track. i don't think they have been deterred. i think the response is forthcoming. >> shannon: let's talk about hezbollah. worries about that front opening up in israel as well is a completely differently equipped enemy than hamas is and folks i know who live in the region say it would be epicly catastrophic if that happens. is there an off ramp with all this back and forth that threat specifically? >> you are absolutely right. hezbollah is different from hamas. they operate 150,000 missiles, 110,000 of those are precision guided over long ranges many are in civilian and urban populated
7:09 am
areas lebanon making it difficult to defend against. is there a way to deter them? yes provided they recognize the united states stands shoulder to shoulder with israel and any response would include the united states. we're not just con strange straining our israel but also hezbollah. it is difficult for israel to defend the 200 american citizens part of this threat. america is looking at a threat from a distance. this impacts americans every day. >> bill: still contend after watching the war in gaza you have to ask yourself if you are hezbollah if you want the same for lebanon, beirut and other cities. we await robert greenway, thank you. trouble is far from over apparently for hunter biden back in the news. the d.o.j. argues a criminal oligarch paid off the first son to try and influence u.s. policy while president biden was serving as v.p.
7:10 am
new documents out there and chad pergram has seen them and live on capitol hill to take us through this story. what now in the chapter of hunter biden? >> good morning. it is possible this could be the closest anyone has come to showing a transfer of money from overseas in exchange for potential influence over u.s. policy with hunter biden. we have heard about his ties to the ukrainian energy firm burisma. how investigators probed that for months. how about potential links to romania? prosecutors in his tax case say he worked for a romanian business magnate. the allegation is that hunter biden and his business colleagues took $3 million in payments. the man faces a criminal investigation in romania over a land deal. special counsel david weiss makes that very case in his filing in california. weiss alleges they structured the deal for hunter so it
7:11 am
concealed the true nature of the work he was performing. prosecutors say there were concerns about ramifications for president biden. the man is expected to testify at hunter biden's tax evasion trial in los angeles that starts september 5th. he is charged with failing to pay 1.4 million in taxes over a four-year period. the house's impeachment inquiry remains open. republicans claim hunter biden sold his father as the brand and use the president for access. >> bill: more to come apparently. thank you for that, sir. ten minutes past now. shannon, what's next? >> shannon: attorneys for the 9/11 terrorists pushing back against lloyd austin's plea deal reversal challenging the legality of his decision to overturn plea deals. the attack's alleged architect. the attorneys say the plea deals still stand.
7:12 am
>> i just want to check out my future plane. i also wanted to say hello to the vice president and ask her why kamala harris refuses -- why does she refuse to answer questions from the media? >> bill: no blackout for the trump/vance team. trump is holding a news conference at 2:00 today in florida which could put pressure on harris to finally take questions from reporters. day 18 and counting. >> shannon: why republicans are going after walz's military record. >> bill: t. swifty concerts canceled over seas, several of them after an alleged isis-inspired terror plot is foiled in europe. what are we learning today about the suspects involved? ♪ oh my god. what? the host is coming back.

7:18 am
>> bill: want to do a what if scenario for the electoral college. we came out with our power rankings. when we do this scenario keep on mind on what the electoral count is. kamala harris at 225. donald trump at 219. we had one, two, three, four, seven states we figured were toss-up races at the time. since two days ago when we did our power rankings this is how the map changed. everything in gray. this is what we believe it is now. the map shrinks. pennsylvania, wisconsin, arizona and nevada. look where we think at the moment that kamala harris at 241 and donald trump at 251. how do you get to 270? believe me, there are countless scenarios we can go through.
7:19 am
this is just one. let's say the polling was right in the sun belt was solid for trump. if that's the case, you have arizona and nevada out here but you also have pennsylvania. think about all the attention given to pennsylvania, the fact that tim walz is the v.p. and not josh shapiro. if donald trump took pennsylvania that's it. all the polling says it's close. however, what if kamala harris at 241 takes pennsylvania? she is only ten away. under that scenario leaving all the sun belt states all of it she would need perhaps a wisconsin and boom that would do it for her. let's take that away for a moment here, sorry, try to take that back to gray, thank you. now we're back to 260, 251. maybe the polling in late june was right and maybe it doesn't change. maybe trump has the edge in arizona. if that is the case he wins
7:20 am
arizona and maybe nevada but two electoral votes shy. that could play out on november 5th and you come back to wisconsin and you think the polling is just razor tight right now in that state. likewise for michigan, too. really tight in wisconsin. under this scenario, if kamala harris were to take the upper midwest, minnesota, wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania, she would be the next president. so you can slice and dice this thing a ton of ways. you know, i think, shannon, we would be out of time and we would be out of a show. but this is where we were a month ago and that map has gone from here to here today. could be a lot of changes still forth coming. we'll wait on that now. back to you. >> shannon: we look forward to more hits on the board. the former president teeing up at 2:00 p.m. eastern news conference at mar-a-lago after j.d. vance trolled harris on a
7:21 am
runway in wisconsin. >> i wanted to say hello to the vice president and ask her why does she refuse to answer questions from the media? i also thought that the press gaggle following her might get lonely. i at least have enough respect for you and the american people you report to to come and talk to you and answer questions. i thought her reporters might actually benefit from that as well. >> dana: charlie hurt and former clinton advisor mark penn join us to break it down. welcome. here is a quote from harris insiders to "politico" why she won't take questions saying there is little worry about the candidate avoiding something else that has long been required of presidential nominees taking questions from the press. her top communications aides are deeply skeptical at biden's inner circle was that doing big interviews with major tv networks offer upside reaching swing voters. mark, seems theic they are proceeding with a do no harm
7:22 am
strategy. she is on a media honeymoon. is there a point that mainstream media pushes her for more access or do we coast for 90 days? >> well, it certainly looks like the whole idea here is just to follow the biden playbook. news flash, she is not going to cooperate with interviews and i think she has made that clear until there is so much pressure that she will either have to change the strategy. right now her strategy of avoiding the press is working. she is rising -- [inaudible] >> shannon: i think mark is frozen. we will get back to him when he thaws out. charlie, we have a trump campaign source speaking to the presser coming at 2:00 p.m. today saying there are a lot of members of the media meeting off the record with the former president. while here let's do the presser thing. i'm transparent and a stark contrast with the harris
7:23 am
campaign not stepping up to do questions. there has been reporting that the former president is frustrated. is this an attempt to change the narrative that has been so positive important harris and walz? >> what mark was saying is exactly right. it is working for harris right now. the only reason it is working for harris right now is because the political press is allowing her to get away with it. it works now during a honeymoon period. i think -- i think it reflects poorly on the press that they are letting her get away with it. i do think, shannon, that over time it starts to lose its efficacy and starts to build up and people can't help but look at this and see the absurdity of a situation where you have a candidate who is asking to be president of the united states and they can't even engage with the american people, which is
7:24 am
what happens -- that's why we have the press to ask questions. when we're asking questions of a candidate, we're asking on behalf of the american people. if you have somebody who thinks she should be president of the united states without answering any of those questions, it is absolutely absurd. also very dangerous because that's not how a free republic works. of course, donald trump and j.d. vance love this sort of situation. they love engaging with the press even though the press -- political press generally does not like them, to put it kindly. but the difference it's a shocking difference. i disagree with the harris campaign. i think that independent voters, this does matter to independent voters. in the end if she gets pressured into doing some of these things it will be because independents are giving up on her because of this issue. >> shannon: carley shimkus was
7:25 am
digging around to see in anyone else is reporting on this and us and maybe one other outlet that are even asking this question. mark, we've seen the president sit down for an interview with cbs. odd for us to think the optics of that that this man was hiding from the press is out there giving an interview and the woman now running for president isn't. >> well, it is incredible. biden was hid from the press until the debate. are we going to have debates and know what harris stands for or not? she has no position papers anywhere. i've never seen anything like this. they will ride at least through the convention. why get in front of your message? we'll see with donald trump and his presser always trump versus trump. will he prove why you shouldn't hold pressers or why you should? that will be in trump's hands this afternoon. a great idea they are pushing the issue. it is a completely valid issue.
7:26 am
>> shannon: we'll see, they seem to enjoy this on the other side of the ticket the jousting. charlie and mark, thank you both very much. >> great to see you. >> shannon: you, too. >> unfortunately we have got big trees just snapped by this possible tornado because of tropical storm debby's effects. >> bill: that's robert ray from fox weather showing us that last hour. there is dangerous flooding up and down the east coast. it is yet to effect millions as it moves up the east coast today. ms-13 on steroids what they consider a violent prison gang out of venezuela expanding its operations by the week here at home in the united states.

the u.s. lawmakers warning that tren de aragua is now more brazen than ever. we have a speaker for the dissident project and immigrant from venezuela live in miami today. jorge, good morning and thank you for your time. when they characterize them as ms-13 on steroids, what do they see in them that makes them more vicious than the other gang? >> i think this description is completely true. these people are extremely violent. they commit kidnap, they murder people and do money laundering, they are drug traffickers. the worst kind of people that we could possibly imagine. actually they are part of the reason why venezuela are running by the millions because venezuela used to be such a dangerous country. it is still but not as much as before. many of the criminals have left.
7:34 am
venezuelans are running away from these. >> bill: would they have been in jail in venezuela? >> they have been in jail. they originated in prison. but prison prison system they go out and in like a hotel for these criminals. they can do whatever they want and they control operations from prison. so it is safer for them to be in prison because they are protected. >> bill: i don't know if you see your screen. venezuelans entering the u.s. illegally. encounters in 2023 were 553,000. deported 834, a drop in the bucket. could we identify these gang members at the border? would that be possible? >> listen, i think that would be possible with an administration that cares about making proper research who is coming and not.
7:35 am
the information is out there. we need to be more careful. but i think with this, it is just online for anybody to realize who is an actual person slamming asylum and just trying to live a better life and distinguish that person from one of these dangerous criminals. >> bill: ms-13 on long island were infamous and trump wiped them out and put a lid on them. we get reports out of albuquerque, new mexico and this gang in new york city. a jewelry heist in denver, california. why are they so feared? >> they -- i think they are political related. they have connection with the maduro regime. i am convinced these people are sent here on purpose to destabilize not only the u.s. but the whole region.
7:36 am
they know -- maduro knows biden is a weak political. he can say if you don't relieve this sanction owe for me i will keep sending these people and not taking them back. that's what they have been doing. whenever the u.s. authorities try to deport some of these people maduro doesn't allow them to do that. they are politically motivated and extremely dangerous. >> bill: thank you for putting it on the radar. thank you for your input today. appreciate it. shannon. >> shannon: tim walz facing a new line of attacks on his military record. a closer look there chicago. garrett tenney. >> the trump campaign is jumping on the criticism from walz's fellow shoulders saying he retired from the national guard
7:37 am
to avoid being put to iraq. he left in may of 20u five. there were rumors his -- several of the men in walz's battalion said he abandeaued them. >> we all did what we were supposed to do and did the right thing and it dishonorable when he did. he left somebody else up to take over his spot. he just ditched us. >> walz filed paperwork to run for congress on february 10, 2005, and officially retired from the guard on may 16th. that process of submitting his retirement papers would have started 5 to seven months before then. according to the minnesota national guard, the official mobilization orders for his unit were issued until july of 2005. two months after he retired.

>> shannon: it is getting worse. the nypd reporting that anti-semitism is skyrocketing in new york city. that news coming more than ten months after the outbreak of the israel/hamas war on october 7th. last month 30 incidents across
7:46 am
the city against jews. that's three times higher than the same time period last year. >> suggested that kamala harris was motivated or at least her party was motivated by anti-semitism and the evidence that i offer for that is what dozens of democratic activists said in the run-up to selecting the nominate. multi yeah media personalities and people with influence in the democrat party who suggested that she should not choose josh shapiro because of his ethnic background. i don't want to live in a country where we choose who the next vp based on skin color or ethnic heritage. choose based on merit. >> bill: accusations of anti-semitism rocking the democratic party. some seeing it as a key fact nor in shapiro not being picked to be the running mate for harris. a new york jewish voter, registered democrat here in studio. i don't know how much it surprised you.

7:48 am
