defies the g.o.p. platform defines it. >> we're conservative, we're, this we're that. we're a lot of things. but it's basically the party of common sense. >> lawrence: i mean, it's true. >> pete: it's true. >> lawrence: and it's labor day. we're celebrating the spirit of hard work with labor day tribute. it's been a while since we have did that. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. and, remember, your mornings are better with friends. >> straight to that fox news alert. the funeral for hersh goldberg-polin, the american hostage killed by hamas in gaza will be held today at 9:00 a.m. eastern. also president biden returns to the white house two week long vacation with vice president kamala harris and the u.s. negotiating team to try to get a deal to get the hostages back. >> pete: good, the a team is back together. thousands at vigil remembering the six murdered hostages found in a tunnel in rafah over the weekend. >> this is a live look at a protest in israel calling for a

cease-fire and hostage release deal as a massive labor strike causes a stand still at businesses, schools, and israel's largest airport. trey yingst is live in tel aviv with the latest. trey? >> yeah, hey, guys. good morning. demonstrations erupted across israel overnight after the country's health ministry announced that six israeli hostages had been executed in hamas captivity. we know how to sands of people blocked the main highway in israel's second largest city of tel aviv, clashes unfolded between police and protesters with security forces bringing horses and water canons to clear the road. the demonstrators demanded their government reach a hostage agreement and bring the remaining captives in gaza home. take a look. >> there are clear disagreements between israeli leadership. between israel's defense ministerio lava gallant and the country's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, for people here in the streets of tel aviv, they are not interested in politics. they are not interested in what the government has to say unless

it is bringing the hostages home. >> to me, we do know that we want a deal now because those people supposed to be home yesterday. >> trey: the unrest about the hostages shifted to civil protests with a broad strike announced today. israel's international airport was on strike for two hours this morning affecting incoming and outgoing flights. other transportation affected as well including jerusalem's light rail train with frustration growing across israel about the lack of a deal, president biden will meet with vice president harris in the situation room later today. to meet with the american negotiating team. officials in washington will look for a way to move the cease-fire talks forward. giving both israel and hamas an exit ramp to end the war. the uncertainty about gaza comes as israel launched fresh strikes against the reign-backed group nez southern lebanon overnight. the war inside gaza has been ongoing for 332 days and at this point diplomacy has failed. guys? >> lawrence: you know, trey, you have relationships in the hamas

in the sense of reporting. before october the 7th. you were embedded in there have you talked with some of the members there. they have even presented with you a powerpoint. i guess my question to you is, after reading everything, after hearing from some of your sources denying october the 7th. do you find the hamas officials to be honest brokers in this negotiation? >> lawrence, the short answer is no. and, look, pete made a great point earlier. israel is not negotiating with a rational, reasonable actor. hamas is an organization that is controlled the gaza strip since 2006. stipulate it's very splintered and there is really one man at the very top. the mastermind behind the october 7th massacre. the other two master minds are dead. as the israelis move forward with these conversations, they are getting feedback from hamas indirectly as part of these negotiations and they are unable to find a path forward and at the same time, critics of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu say that he doesn't want a deal under the current

terms. and so, we're at an impasse here in the region. and negotiators, not just from the united states, but also from qatar and from egypt say they are reaching really the last ends of these efforts and at this point, there has been no breakthrough in the talks. >> pete: trey, sticking of with hamas, we had a father of one of the american hostages there come on the program. obviously he wants a deal. he wants it yesterday to get his son back. but he also said that part of the reason he is for it is that hamas has been completely disseminated as fighting force and that's the consensus among israeli intelligence officials. if that deal were cut, how disseminateside hamas at this point? >> trey: it is true. most of the hamas brigades inside gaza have been destroyed and dismantle dismantled since the israeli ground campaign since it started in late october. hamas will always be a fighting force gaza and west bank insurgency if there are other

forces around if they decide they want to attack. the west intank perfect example. hamas doesn't control vast areas of territory in the west bank. but they launch daily attacks whether it be attempted bombings or shooting attacks. you will see the same thing inside gaza. they won't have the same fighting force that they had on the morning of october 7th when they were able to send trained brigades of fighters across the border. thousands of them into southern israel. but they still will be able to launch attacks. there is a controversy inside israel and it has to do with the benchmark that the israeli government has set for the goals of this country inside gaza. there were two goals laid out by the prime minister. one bring the hostages home, and, two, defeat and destroy hamas. the second goal is not possible. they can dismantle the brigades that exist inside the gaza strip but continue to attack israel in some capacity. >> to that point what ratio of those protesters there are

saying look. we don't want a deal. to the point of everyone has been saying deal with the devil. we actually aren't protesting to negotiate with terrorists. we are here advocating for the return of our hostages. and we want militarily a global support. demonstrators that were in the streets of tel aviv last night and into today represent a portion of this society. there are certainly people especially in the la cued party party supportive of benjamin netanyahu there should be no cease-fire and risk of hostages. part of the divide currently in israeli society and not at the civilian level at the very top of the israeli government there have been screaming matches in the cabinet between israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his defense ministerio lava gallant it has

created a rift between the leadership of this country and questions about what the prime minister ultimately the decision maker will do in the days ahead. >> lawrence: wow. >> pete: trey, thank you. a lot of this the country was united for a long time and political infighting in israel what happens next for bye-bye netanyahu. just in court in israel just ruled to end the labor strike at 7:00 a.m. eastern saying it is politically motivated part of the reforming netanyahu trying to overtake became unpopular the supreme court of israel wields an ordinate amount of power make calls on things likening labor protest because of political -- very interesting and we will see what happens next interesting when you look here back at home

president has been on two week vacation. kamala harris has been out campaigning. we have no idea cabinet meetings scripted. please how we are going to get the american hostages back home owe has not ordered the flags to be ordered. an american killed as bye-bye netanyahu tries to rescue him. not the american glovment government. glenn youngkin has ordered in the commonwealth flags to be lowered and that's where is he from. >> so far no word from the white house as well. >> lawrence: do the same? >> and even acknowledge it. griff jenkins joins us live from the white house with more on president biden and vice president harris' swik room meeting with a u.s. hostage team. griff, what can we expect? >> flags not lowered.

in just a few hours going to get expect biden to meet with harris with the u.s. negotiating hostage team to try to secure the release of remaining 101 hostages this after the tragic news over the weekend six hostages killed including american hersh goldberg-polin. harris released a statement saying. this. i strongly condemn hamas' continue the brutality and so must the entire world. as vice president, i have no higher priority wherever they are in the world. president biden is returning from a beach vacation in rehoboth and been keeping a low profile since ending re-election bid. he was last here at the white house on august 19th, and has since been vacationing in southern california and in delaware. but he released a statement yesterday as well saying. this it is as tragic as it is reprehensible. make no mistake, hamas leaders will pay for these crimes and we

will keep working around the clock for a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages. now, this afternoon, the two will travel to battleground pennsylvania to make their first campaign appearance together as harris tries to balance presenting herself as the candidate of change. promising a, quote: new way forward while also being the sitting vice president tied to president biden's policies on the economy. border, and healthcare has has stood tried defend itself but more vocal about the plight of palestinians in gaza, so now we wait so see what happens in this meeting as for any details of what we expect may transpire that meeting. we have no new information to bring you. we will bring it to you though as we get it. emily, pete, lawrence? >> emily: griff, thank you. >> pete: don't expect anything. it's totally scripted. you are right. to put a display on they are doing something when they're not. that woman on the left is

running to be the commander-in-chief and do you think her domestic resume is thin what do you think she knows about foreign affairs. she was the one who went to munich germany and said to russia do not invade ukraine four days later yeah. we will do what we want. >> lawrence: also the person calling for a cease-fire. one moment at the dnc that got the largest applause of the night was when she talked about calling for a cease-fire. he had doo a read up on her national security adviser who would presumptively become the national security adviser if she became president and his world view and what he wants to happen with israel. i don't think you want these people in charge. choices. >> emily: that's right. obviously they subscribe to ideology. i don't think they're academic. not up to that caliber especially since she failed the bar. i have to point out for someone who went to g 7 refused to meet

with the spouses of foreign leaders, she said no, no, no. i'm an officer of the united states administration. i'm second in commands. i deserve to only meet officials. yet, couldn't come to a cnn interview without toting along someone to help her. how are we supposed to have faith that she indeed can represent us as americans in the situation room with the same experience and credibility and calendar deserving as hot tax and those murdered by hamas. they can't. >> pete: why these 60 days are so important. this is a woman who never won a primary. never would have won a primary. >> >> first one out. not good enough to win, yet, here she is in this position. these 60 days are critical the one with cnn. the debate is going to be immensely important because she could fall quick if she is revealed as the empty pants suit she is. you got create those opportunities. >> lawrence: you and i were talking about this before we got on air today there is a lot of

people it was common belief that the elections was over when joe biden was still on the ticket. that's part of the reason they have to remove. >> it is the reason. >> it was over history of time. not thinking. donald trump really makes the case though that the republican party is the common sense party. really not about going back and forth with emotion just common sense, watch. >> i would like to say the republican party has become we're conservative, we're, this we're that. we're a lot of things. it's basically the party of common sense we need walls. we need to stop. we need borders, we need walls nowadays say it oh, kamala didn't want walls at all. she didn't want walls. she fought me more than anybody. always fighting me on the walls.

>> harris supporters when you actually ask them because it was once this thing and now it's this only that thing answer questions, spoken about it. so they are voting for a person or historic first possibly dangerous record quharg we are up against. >> emily: politically that's dangerous for him to have stated party of common sense. >> here is why. think about how the democratic party is trying to paint the republican party as radical. they are trying to besmirch president trump with aligning him with super radical ideology. so here he is saying no, no. it's just common sense, so when do you go to the voting poll us don't have to worry that we are aligned with x. >> y, z, it's common sense, safety, security and the ability to save, to provide for your family yes, then vote g.o.p. >> lawrence: that's why the case has to be, pete, this may be an historical moment if she is the

first. but, let me tell you. going to get historic inflation, get historic crimes. historic crossings to cross the border. and historic wars. the former president saying we may be on the brink of world war iii. that is not hyperbole when you look at the stated of the country right now and the international stage right now. >> the guy, tim walz, the guy calling the republicans weird is the guy that put tampons in men's bathrooms. in minnesota. >> lawrence: anotherren good one. >> pete: it's complete projection. >> lawrence: they need those, right? >> emily: turning to your headlines. starting with a. video shows one of the masked suspects armed with a pistol and another holding a rifle. they used flashlights to search the garage before rolling a motorcycle down the driveway back to their pickup truck. and to another fox news alert. in nearby aurora, colorado.

police say they have arrested a ringleader of the violent venezuelan tren de aragua gang this after that horrifying video of gang members taking over an apartment complex went viral. dhs officials warning that the gang was an emergent threat in the ventriclier area last month. meanwhile, the governor called it imagination. now, check this out. a car crashing into a phoenix couple's living room while they and their pets were home last week. police arresting the driver who they say was likely under the influence. incredibly, the car narrowly missed hitting the residents and their pets, thank god, who suffered minor cuts and injuries. the crash caused around $30,000 in damage and the homeowners have started a gofundme to help pay for the damage. >> pete: how about the guy driving pays for it. >> emily: hown they sue that's my non-attorney advice. >> lawrence: that's true. >> emily: celebrating the spirit of hard work today we are putting our knowledge to the test with a special labor day

trivia contest. question one, what year was labor day established as a federalhood? a 1796, b, 1862 or c 1894. >> lawrence: going to go with b. >> pete: going with c. >> emily: the answer is 1894. i don't know if that was a, b, or c. pete was correct. question two: which president made sure that labor day would always guarantee a three-day weekend? was it william mckinley, was it lyndon b. johnson, or was it ronald reagan? >> lawrence: let's go with the great giver? >> pete: definitely b lyndon johnson the guy who loves the unions also. >> emily: is it b lyndon b. johnson? that was easy one. question 3. how many hot dogs were americans

consume between memorial day and labor day? a 7 millions, b 2000000000. or c 15000000. >> emily: at least 6 million of that are me because i love hot dogs. >> pete: 2 billion. >> emily: a good brat. that's your third b guess in a row. >> pete: i'm going b i did c on the first one. am i crazy? 2 billion? >> emily: come up too soon? >> pete: my level of hot dog consumption it would be 2 billion. >> lawrence: that's true. >> pete: 30 million people times. >> lawrence: that's true. >> pete: eight hot dogs. >> emily: labor day weekend is end of summer what is the actual date a september 18th. b september 20th. or c september 22nd. >> lawrence: 22nd. >> pete: i'm going to go yeaheither b or c i'm going to say b. >> emily: b and c and the answer is september 22nd.

lawrence. and those are your headlines and that's very important. >> lawrence: finish off strong. >> emily: so who won? let's call it a tie. a tie for being awesome. >> peter: rock, paper scissors. a tie. ha ha. >> lawrence: there we go. >> pete: as we mentioned earlier. harris did not get a dnc bump. but does have an edge with women. so what can trump do to win over female voters. we will ask mary kathleen ham when we come up next. ♪ you're just here for the party ♪ if i'm wrong ♪ then stop me ♪ if you are one of them girls that ain't handing out your number. and duckduckgo lets you l but it blocks cookies and creepy ads that follow youa and other companies. and there's no catch. it's fre.

♪ >> emily: brand new poll shows vice president harris did not get a post convention boost. women 13 point edge. how can trump win over female voters? let's ask fox news contributor and outkick.com columnist mary katharine ham. m.k., what are your thoughts on this? >> so the question, i think, becomes for both candidates, first of all, gooded news for trump that she gets negligible bounce out of that convention. best conch you could have for

the last six weeks oncology tested by the media. that's good for him. the question for both parties how much are you doing convincing of men for kamala and women for trump and how much are you doing consolidating of the opposite? right? because the agenda gap is large here. the last time we had sort of parody between the republican and the democratic candidate, i believe was george h.w. bush on men and women. it's been a long time. and in the meantime, particularly with trump, that has meant driving up the numbers with male voters and for democrats, particularly unmarried women voters driving up those numbers. and then the question becomes beings okay, well who has high propensity to vote? for trump the challenge comes for men he is trying to offset unmarried arrangely liberal votes with are not high propensity voters. not super likely to vote. he has been going places to reach them. such as golfing with bryson day chambeau going on podcasts. these are creative ways joining with streamers on twitch.

do you get them over the line to be voters. when it comes to convincing women. i think he has made some moves for instance, this kind of bizarre, frankly, ivf discussion where there would be a lot of federal funding for it which i don't think it is a good idea. maybe a way to signal to women like we are not a threat to you in this area because that's mostly a democratic make believe thing that ivf is somehow threatened by pro-life politicians in any way, shape or form and trump has not signaled that is he making an attempt to make that argument. i'm not sure he should do it with federal money i'm not sure it's going to fly. >> emily: i don't think anyone should do anything with federal money but that's just me. let's go to this mary katharine. trump tells mark levin the head of the dnc kamala harris and husband best friend ahead of next week's presidential debate. what say you? >> look, i think the fact that she sat down with walz for this

interview shows she has weakness when she is under questioning. i think the fact that abc is running the debate. look, i think any candidate on the republican side can have questions about the set up of the debate. and the person who is moderating. when you come to the stage. right? but that's a reason to be very prepared to it all of the attacks going to come from your opponent and the moderating rarity. right for the republicans to be weary and to be prepared. this is a huge opportunity, regardless of who is running it. to come at harris with challenges, with questions, armed with what she has said in the past, to bring to her and make her answer for it. >> i want our viewers to see we have that video. roll it real quick so we can see. >> abc is probably the worst in terms of fairness, george flop drop police, the people they have there are just terrible. head of abc is her best friend and her husband's best friend,

too. and i had to make a decision do i want to debate? i would like to debate i won a lot of debates otherwise i wouldn't be president. >> those who prioritize on the street inflation, economy. people have prioritized over everything. do you see that moving the needle more than gender ideology and association politics? >> i think that's where the opportunity lies for trump. even with women, particularly married women economic money spending on groceries which hits women in particular often run family budgets. those things can be an argument for him. can you make those arguments easily based on relation that people are feeling in their homes and on the streets on that debate stage without help from a moderator, right?

that is his job and i think he can make that argument easily based on reality. >> emily: yemen, we all can. that's for sure. mary katharine ham, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> emily: students on high alert over anti-israel protests as they return to campus. we will talk to a columbia university student about the growing fear among her jewish classmates. stay with us. ♪ brilliant recovery with the lowe's app. he always delivers. and so does the lowe's app. in store. online. our lowe's team has you covered. introducing new advil targeted relief. the only topical pain reliever with 4 powerful pain-fighting ingredients that start working on contact to target tough pain at the source. for up to 8 hours of powerful relief. new advil targeted relief.

anti-semitic slurs. and even physical violence. columbia university student elisha baker joins us now. alicia, good to have you again. i mean, i can just think of any group, if you replace jewish student with x group that was spit on, forced out, chased out. there would be outrage, right? >> yeah. i mean, the double standard is glaring. and the truth is reading the report, it's hard to imagine that at this point 11 months later, we could still be shocked again by what we're reading. and, yet, that's how i felt when i was reading it. the truth is that this is an issue that's not only about jewish students. because what this report demonstrates is that the university is failing to uphold its end of the sacred covenant between university and students, which is namely, to ensure a safe and healthy and productive learning environment for all

students. so if they are failing with jewish students, it means they are failing at their fantastic. by the way, of course, on the other side, students must uphold their end of the covenant which is, you know, to engage with peers and to include peers in discussions. so i'm hoping as we come back, that we can return to those values and make sure that power is exercised for the sake of those values. >> lawrence: let's read some of the stuff that the task force as we play some of the footage of morons dancing in the middle of the street as if it's the west bank and keffiyeh. this is the what task force said the painful and distressing incident of anti-semitism recounted in this report completely unacceptable. work has already been underway on an initiative that aligned with the number of the recommendations. outlined in this report. so, i guess the question is, going back to campus, do you feel safe? do you feel like they are going to get volume of this before you hit the campus?

>> i really don't know. i moved in yesterday. and the truth is that even just walking around this area, you feel tense because we know what happened last spring. i want to just make one particular point about the recommendations, i think it's really interesting and important that in the recommendations, the task force pointed out that what columbia needs, one of the things that columbia needs to change the way they approach diversity and inclusion efforts on campus. they.ed out that the current dei, you know, message on campus. relied basically on this idea that all groups can be placed either in the box of oppressors and box of oppressed. that is a binary world view that reduces people. and it doesn't actually allow for real inclusion. it actually works against inclusion and against the idea that we should be engaging with people from different background, right? it shames the people that are

subjectively placed in the oppressor category. i think that was a really poor recommendation. and i'm hoping that columbia is able to implement that. >> lawrence: i'm sorry to cut you off elisha you are considered white and not jewish. and you are considered a person of wealth and not a minority group. correct? >> that's correct. jews have been subjectively placed because the truth is that in america, there are many jews that i guess look white, but that's just not accurate for the totality of the jewish people. very diverse group of people from, you know, from many different, you know, countries, obviously all going back to the land of israel. but, it's very upsetting. >> lawrence: that's why the whole thing is so stupid. you can't box -- you can't put a box for everyone. we live in a diverse america. especially in new york city. i'm just shocked that the sit of protest. that protest for every group
