>> are you planning to present a final hostage deal to both sides this week? >> president biden: we're very close to that. >> what makes you think this deal will be successful in a way the other deals were not? >> president biden: hope springs eternal. >> mr. president, do you think it's time for prime minister netanyahu to do more on this issue? do you think he is doing enough? >> president biden: no. >> kevin: that was president biden moments ago promising a hostage deal is imminent and tearing into netanyahu as the jewish state erupts in fury and mourning following the discovery of the bodies of six hamas hostages found in a gaza tunnel

saturday executed by hamas just days before they were expected to be rescued. president biden and the vice president kamala harris set to meet at the white house in the situation room trying to get a handle on a crisis that has now left one of our own murdered in gold blood. good morning, everybody. welcome to fox news live i'm kevin corke. >> julie: i'm julie banderas. hersh goldberg-polis was named in the cease-fire proposal draft and would have been freed if a deal had been reached along with two other hostages killed. hostage families are demanding this tragedy end even if it means making a deal with the devil. >> we've been at this for 11 months. hearing from our government that a little more military pressure and a little more military pressure is going to cause hamas to come begging for an agreement in an exchange of our hostages. clearly that has not happened.

it is absolutely clear the only way to get the hostages home alive is by some kind of negotiated agreement with satan. >> julie: trey yengst live in tel aviv. strong words there. >> good morning. look, as we talk here i want to take a moment and speak about the funeral that's underway for 23-year-old hersh goldberg-polis, an american citizen being buried as we speak in jerusalem. we're just getting some of the initial words in his mother made when she addressed the crowd eulogizing her son. she says okay, sweet boy, go now on your journey. i hope it is as good as the trips you dreamed about. you know, i think this mother's efforts to bring her son home, they represent what so many families have begged and pleaded for over the past 11 months to get the hostages out of gaza and it is heartbreaking to see this family mourning right now in

jerusalem not just with the country of israel but the entire world watching this story unfold. hersh was 23 years old and his life is over as a result of hamas. according to the israeli health ministry he was executed along with five other hostages inside gaza and this has increased the pressure on the israeli government to reach an agreement to bring the remaining more than 100 hostages home from gaza. that's part of why we saw demonstrations erupt here in israel overnight. protestors taking to the streets of tel aviv blocking the main highway that runs through israel's second largest city. protestors clashed with police as security forces tried to disperse the crowd using water cannons and horses. we know the demonstrators are demanding their government reach a deal to bring the remaining captives out of gaza. we spoke with one father overnight whose son is still being held in gaza. listen to what he had to say.

>> we need an immediate agreement and bring back the hostages, otherwise we'll get them in black body bags. >> the unrest about the hostages shifted to civil protests with a broad general strike announced today. israel's international airport was on strike this morning for two hours. other transportation affected as well including jerusalem's light rail train. frustration is growing across israel about the lack of a deal. president biden meeting today with vice president harris in the situation room. they are going to discuss what is happening with the american negotiating team. officials in washington will look to find a way to move this cease-fire forward giving both israel and hamas an exit ramp to end the war. the uncertainty about gaza comes as israel launched fresh airs strikes against hezbollah overnight. rocket sirens are sounding in northern israel amid new rocket fire from hezbollah. just to give you the back drop of all this taking place.

hersh's funeral in jerusalem. as that is unfolding, hamas is releasing a promo for a propaganda video with faces of six israeli hostages that were murdered in the gaza strip. it gives you a sense of the psychological warfare this organization is trying to conduct as the israelis beg and plead for an agreement to bring the remaining hostages home. guys, back to you. >> julie: this is why hamas needs to be annihilated and the u.s. needs to back israel every step of the way. trey yengst in tel aviv. very touching report. thank you so much. >> kevin: powerful reporting from trey yengst. let's bring if michael allen, former senior director of the security council under george w. bush. i want to share for the folks at home again the images of the americans believed to be held hostage by hamas. this is again a stark reminder of why there is such righteous indignation happening now in tel aviv and frankly across this

country and aoh round the globe. i'm curious how do you balance the strong and powerful emotion to make a deal happen as soon as possible, with the need to also be mindful that they are dealing with real monsters in this circumstance in hamas. >> kevin, you put your finger right on it. it is very, very difficult for netanyahu and the security cabinet in israel. what they have before them is the possibility of a hostage deal but they have the question should they stick to their guns and try and restrict and occupy what's called the corridor which is the southern tip of gaza and egypt, a little strip of land between the two? the israelis especially netanyahu think they need to control that land for the future to prevent any new arms or to prevent anyone from leaving out through newly dug tunnels.

while at the same time others have argued that the israeli defense forces can certainly take action within that corridor and then therefore we can move forward with the hostage deal. it is a very tough decision that i think is before the prime minister in israel and you see the outpouring of emotions and how it split israeli society on your tv screen. >> kevin: let me ask you about the notion i've heard from some of the conversations i've had previously with folks in your position. they say yes, there is a need to try to make something happen. at the same time, given the frankly the encroachment of hezbollah, the fact that there are houthis on the ground as well as hamas, you don't want to reward such behavior with a lenient negotiation cease-fire because the truth is it will embolden other groups to do as much.

shoot that down or add to that? am i reading that in the right way? is that part of the conversation within the negotiation team here in washington? obviously on the ground in tel aviv. >> i think it has been part of what the israelis have been trying to achieve throughout this. remember, the americans especially president biden tried to force a deal down the israeli's throat with the argument we'll let you normalize with saudi arabia but part of that deal would be a two-state solution. what netanyahu essentially said was that would be rewarding hamas, validating their actions by giving them the right to a two-party state by going through this exercise. the same thing holds today. why would we strike a deal with hamas the day after or in the short days after an execution of six of our citizens? these are tough decisions but at the same time you can't be seen

as rewarding terrorists for their actions. >> kevin: in the 15 seconds we have left, i was watching earlier senator lindsey graham talk about this idea it's really iran the great satan in this circumstance. 15 seconds. how do we approach them or how do the israelis approach them to sort of at least figure out a way to stop the ongoing carnage? >> for us the united states we shouldn't have been beating up netanyahu this past ten months. we should have been going after iran and to put pressure on them so they would put pressure on their proxy, the terrorist group hamas that they control and born more fruit that constantly beating up the israelis. >> kevin: that would seem to be the approach and lindsey graham said as much. always a pleasure, michael allen joining us this labor day. we appreciate it. hopefully have you back under better circumstances in the near future. >> thank you.

>> i'll give you one more opportunity for the world to see your answer. does calling for the genocide of jews violate the code of conduct when it comes to bullying and harassment, yes or no? >> it can be harassment. >> the answer is yes. >> julie: could be hate as well. harvard is facing backlash for hiring liz mcgill, the former university of pennsylvania president. she resigned after that controversial testimony on anti-semitism on her campus.

congresswoman stefanik reacting to that news yesterday. listen. >> it's a disgrace and we continue to see higher education promote anti-semitic leaders and anti-seam advertisement. we need to see moral strong leadership from education and universities could condemn anti-semitism and enforce their own rules and en shire president trump's title vi protections for jewish students. >> julie: mcgill will serve as a visiting senior fellow at harvard law school. >> kevin: a chilling report out of columbia university. the anti-semitism task force finding jewish students were chased and pinned against walls as anti-semitism festered on campus after october 7th.

a devastating report from an awful time for that school. >> it was horrible being there those days with the protests on campus. unanswered questions. jewish students say they were chased out of dorm rooms due to their faith and many details in this new report are disturbing to say the least. look here. one student saying in this report on campus my friends have been spit on, called terrible names. very close friend of mine was called a lover of genocide and a lover of baby killing. that's one person in this report. this part in a 91-page document by the columbia university task force on anti-semitism that spur viewed hundred of kids. 500 students told staff they were berated, shoved and forced to watch the israeli flag burn on campus following the october 7th massacre by hamas. you can see the encampments set up on their campus for weeks. it wasn't just the protests. during the height of this unrest students and some who didn't go

to the school broke into campus buildings like hamilton hall. wouldn't get out until police went in. jewish students say teachers didn't support them. helped lead to a hostile atmosphere. watch. >> it's very difficult for us as jewish students to judge until we're back on campus and see how columbia handles its first hurdles. however, the university needs to put an end to harassment of students right now and if the university really wants to protect freedom of speech, it is important to remember it can only occur if everybody is safe enough to speak. >> there have been some adjustments at the school. the president is gone. they said she wasn't doing enough and four administrators have been removed. this semester the student is looking for real change. people don't think enough was done then. >> julie: imagine paying all that money as the jewish family.

they felt like their lives were threatened. >> kevin: what is going on over there. great school, great environment and abdicated their responsibilities for jewish students over there. >> we'll see what happens. >> kevin: all right. >> you insisted that president biden is extraordinarily strong. given where we are now, do you have any regrets about what you told the american people? >> not at all. i have served with president biden for almost four years now and i will tell you one of the greatest honors of my career and i have spent hours upon hours with him be it in the oval office or the situation room. he has the intelligence, commitment and the judgment >> julie: harris insisting she didn't think the president's age was an issue during her first sit-down interview as presidential nominee. columnists for the "washington post" argue the v.p. should have

been pushed harder on the issue of biden's age and cognitive decline. let's bring in joe concha, fox news contributor. she should have been pushed harder on a lot of things. the flip-flopping on fracking. her issue on the border and drugs and crime and there was no pushback whatsoever. i'm not surprised there wasn't with this. what is your take on the vice president's remarks? >> the pushback you would get if you are using a feather to do the push backing. to grade the interview generously it is a d minus. a handful of decent questions but no follow ups. even in those questions, she provided, dana bash did, multiple choice answers that alouded for an easy off ramp for kamala harris and tim walz. and then when the vice president continues to insist that in private actually joe biden is a modern day orson wells. solving equations and explaining

how the capacitor works is a genius behind closed doors. why isn't he running for another four years? instead what we're seeing out of this white house and out of this president for the last 14 days are proof of life photos of joe biden on a beach in delaware while americans are being executed overseas. so again, dana bash absolutely should have pushed back on that. clearly that's why joe biden dropped out was pressure to by the way by the obamas and nancy pelosi. he should step down. instead she let her get away with that ridiculous answer. >> julie: the follow-up question should have been why did one of biden's closest aides last year in 2023 talk about the significant cognitive decline that they had witnessed in person on numerous occasions? the vice president obviously is in the situation room with the president. she just talked about it.

she saw it herds and she is covering up. part of the whole cover-up and what everybody has been doing is bubble wrapping the president until he finally came out and exposed himself and they all look like liars. he is championing joe biden saying he did a selfless act like george washington. let's play this sound. >> the person who should be applauded is the president who did the most selfless thing that anybody has done since george washington and that's true. and so anybody, all the things that got us there, none of that will be remembered. it shouldn't be. what should be remembered is the selfless act of someone who, you know, is very hard to let go of power. >> julie: a selfless act. how do you think the president will be remembered? not as george washington. we can be clear there.

>> well, nancy pelosi said that he should be on mount rushmore. i will go by the numbers. joe biden, before he resigned or said he wasn't running was polling lower than any president at this stage of his first term in polling history. there is a reason for that. because of inflation, crime, because of 12 million plus people coming across the border including hundreds of terrorists including a world that seems like it's on fire when you compare it to the trump years. this is the worst president of our lifetime based on the polling and he will be remembered for that and not for a selfless act. it wasn't a selfless act. it was something that he was pushed out by his own party because they didn't believe he would win and eventually gave in because at that point he had -- nothing to do with being selfless. >> julie: joe concha, always great to see you, buddy. thank you so much. >> one quick note.

thank you to larry the maitre d of the restaurant the hotel i'm staying in. i forgot to pack clothes on my vacation to join you. he borrowed me clothes. >> julie: thank you so much. >> i will work a shift at this point. that's the trade-off. >> julie: i will tell you more about what i think about that suit later. love you, joe. >> kevin: he did all right. okay. there you go. the keystone state can hold a key to the overal office this november probably. trump, harris and biden all spending part of their labor day weekend in the pivotal swing state. 23 after the hour. we're back after this. ♪

in the state of pennsylvania. >> good to be with you. a lot of eyes on pennsylvania, no question. specifically pittsburgh which is a union city, no question about it. a campaign source tells fox news that the vice president will say today that steel, this is a steel city, steel should be domestically owned and operated in the united states. there is a huge labor day parade here in pittsburgh, pennsylvania and while president biden and the vice president won't be there, they will join people at this ibew local hall of electrical workers later this afternoon. this is going to be as you mentioned their first appearance together since she accepted the nomination at the dnc back in chicago last month. president biden is fresh off a two-week vacation in california and delaware. no stranger to unions and speaking to them for half a century, 50 years. harris is newer to the union world trying to court them.

the teamsters yesterday. >> we want the opportunity to sit down with vice president harris. i said to someone the other day you don't hire someone unless you give them an interview. this is our opportunity to ask her about teamster specific issues and labor issues. so until we have that meeting, obviously we'll wait to make that determination. >> in 1996 the teamsters did not endorse either candidate. o'brien didn't say if it would happen. another huge issue for pennsylvaniaians fracking. in 2019 harris wanted to ban it and now inis cess in favor of tracking since 2020. >> i made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that i would not ban fracking. as vice president i did not ban fracking. at president i will not ban fracking. >> both will rally the ibew here

in pittsburgh later this afternoon. president biden coming directly from washington but the vice president is hot on the campaign trail at an event in detroit, michigan earlier today. then she will come to pittsburgh and link up with president biden, julie. >> julie: thank you very much, david. >> kevin: meantime we want to bring in selena, a political reporter who happens to be based in pittsburgh. i want to share for the folks at home. this is from your paper the "post-gazette" saying this. who are the undecided voters who will decide the election? you have to disabuse me of this viewpoint. i don't buy this idea there are a bunch of undecided voters out there? am i wrong about this? >> there actually is. i don't know what the number of bunch is, however, there are voters that shockingly don't pay attention to this like you and i do or people that are, you know, sort of wake up every morning in

their red or blue shirt. in interview them i showcased two women. from the two most important counties in the state. you win them and you win the election nationwide. but these are women that are doing their homework, they are thinking about what the issues that are important to them and they haven't decided based on mostly personality, and they will, you have know, both of them said if they didn't vote in 2020 because they didn't care for either candidate but they plan on voting this november. they just haven't figured out who they are going to vote for. so i think in pennsylvania i think we largely agree it is the most important state. it is the largest amount of electoral votes of the battle ground/swing states. i would pay attention to who

goes to the counties outside of pittsburgh and philadelphia? well, those have the largest numbers of voters, it is the counties like north hampton and cambria and erie that will decide the election on the margins. harris today is in pittsburgh. but it is not an open event. it's the second time she has been here but not opening her event to supporters. i find that interesting. >> kevin: i do, too. if anyone doesn't know this look back at 2020. pennsylvania is this wide swath of red save for a few blue pockets, pittsburgh, philly, harrisburg. very interesting. the top issues, selena in the 30 seconds are so, economy, immigration, inflation, border. i want to share this headline from "the new york times." harris makes careful use of biden on the campaign trail. we know that the president is there today.

i'm curious how do you navigate this idea of having him there, scranton joe, without looking back at all the things that voters don't like about the old guy who is leaving office? >> so that's the challenge. she has to embrace him because he brought enough union voters over in 2020 to defeat donald trump. however, she is also taking a risk by embracing him because voters, even those union voters, are unhappy with how the country has been run in the past four years. it is a challenge. >> kevin: challenge to say the least. one of my favorite reporters in the country, selena. happy labor day to you and see you again real soon. >> happy labor day. >> julie: vice president harris vowing to tackle america's housing crisis and make homes more affordable for all americans. some economists warn her plans could backfire. ♪

but i wants what you say to voters when they want to go back when it comes to the economy specifically because their groceries were less expensive. housing more affordable when donald trump was president? >> you are right. prices in particular for groceries are still too high. american people know it and i know it. my agenda includes what we need to do to bring down the price of groceries. >> the steps you are talking about now, why haven't you done them already? >> first of all, we had to recover as an economy and we've done that. >> julie: ouch. steve moore, senior fellow at the heritage foundation. kamala harris did say something you are right when she talked about when dana bash talked about how the economy was better under trump. we still don't quite know how exactly harris will lower prices at the gas pump and lower prices at the grocery store. she didn't really give us that. >> yeah, i can't explain her plan, either.

i can just tell you the reality. the hard facts which is that we had no inflation in the four years that donald trump was president. in fact, when he left office the inflation rate was 1 1/2 percent and went up to over 9% and now the good news is the inflation rate has come down a lot. now down to 3%. but still people can't afford to pay their groceries, can't afford to pay for the gasoline, fill ups, 40% more expensive. mortgage payments, all of these things have put real stress on the american family. the bottom line is the average family, when you adjust their income for inflation, has lost $2 thousand in purchasing power. that happened under biden and kamala harris. for kamala harris to say i have a plan to deal with inflation. that's like asking the arsonist to put out the fire. >> julie: the savings have plummeted because of the rising costs. in june 3.1%, in july 2.9%.

you mentioned mortgage prices that people can't afford. first of all, a lot of people who did afford homes barely, okay, they got interest-only loans when the interest rates were much lower. those loans unfortunately, i can speak for myself because i'm paying the price, okay, fully amortized. my mortgage fully amortized has tripled and this is the current interest rates i'm currently paying. i'm not kidding. it has tripled, my mortgage payments i'm not kidding. the worst pain i've ever felt financially. we're looking forward to a possible interest rate decrease, is that something that could potentially relieve future home buyers and current mortgage holders by maybe possibly renegotiating and refinancing and getting these lower rates so people can actually afford to buy homes? >> a little bit, julie. a fed rate cut could help a tiny bit. again, let's go back to under trump versus what it is today.

so the average mortgage rate when trump left office was actually slightly less than 3%. then it went up to 7% under biden. what's happened is when you said your mortgage has tripled, you know, because i know on average the average mortgage rate has more than doubled. you are a little on the high-end. people were paying $1 thousand a month for a 30-year mortgage and now paying $2 thousand for a mortgage. what does that mean? it is meaning that joe biden and kamala harris have left millions of americans out of the american dream of owning a home. i have kids in their late 20s, early 30s just starting to look at maybe buying a house. are you kidding? they can't afford it. it is too expensive. the $25,000 she wants to give people won't help.
