out strikes against hezbollah troops after that group launched into northern israel overnight. israel's president says they are not seeking war, but they will defend themselves. nate foy has details from tel aviv. >> increasing on israel's northern border. past 24 hours, israel hezbollah launched 150 times on them, this is the fourth intensive day over southern lebanon. this video was released this morning. identifying hezbollah terrorists and getting ready to fire a cruise missile from a home in southern lebanon. israeli fighter jet took out the terrorists before they could fire that missile and israel is
2:02 am
giving this warning to residents in southern lebanon. we advise villages located in and next to areas used for hezbollah for military purpose such as those used to store weapons, to immediately move out of harm's way for their own safety. >> todd, take a look at this, you see the skies light up over southern lebanon and northern israel. idf deployed fighter jets striking thousands of hezbollah rocket launchers. the rocket dome intercepted many but not all of them. hewns of hezbollah rockets were fired over the weekend. the hospital in israel has moved patients underground, there is no school in northern israel either.

2:04 am
hezbollah is largest surrogate of iran in the region and hezbollah is hamas on steroids. this is a conflict with iran. hezbollah has operatives in this country, there have been arrests trying to help hezbollah from this country. big strategic piece, if ceasefire does not happen soon, it is big fail for the biden-harris administration because russia and china get an opening to do all kind of things with chaos occurring in the middle east and it is diplomatic fail for the u.s., it helps trump and second or third order of effect, iran does not want to see trump re-elected, it will affect their future. escalation is a real
2:05 am
possibility, this is higher conflict we have seen probably since 2000 66 in this region. israel has the ability to defend itself with nuclear weapons, which should put iran back on their heels. >> todd: listen right now, all d deference, this was 24 hours ago when john kirby was on, the attitude remains the same, here is john kirby, take a listen. >> we still believe there is time and space for diplomacy to work. we understand it is not moving in the best direction, that does not mean we think engaging in all out war in the north is best for israel. >> todd: he was referring to a report that israel managed to stop a second october 7, which for them is equivalent of 9/11, with targeted strikes to senior
2:06 am
hezbollah leaders. to be clear, israel prevented their next 9/11 and john kirby is questioning them, that makes no sense to me. what say you? >> you are absolutely right, we should not be ambivalent and confused, we should be direct in support for israel. it looks like there was intent of hezbollah to come in in larger numbers. the end of the day, we need to support israel unequivocally, this is choice between de deterrence -- -- own defense, for the first time ever, hezbollah, surrogate
2:07 am
for iran has been -- facilities. they are truly trying to take this up a notch, if they take it up too many notches, they will be sorry they did. >> todd: iranian president arrives inlet u.s. tomorrow, need a quick answer, when the general assembly is over, will i iranian president return to iran scared or embolden? >> i would like to believe message he receives once being here, back off, back down and back away. i don't think that will happen. mealy mouth response, he will be very anti-american and an anti-israeli. at this time biden will be in new york city today at final un general assembly of his presidency. the president spent time in

on wednesday, basically to confirm what so many understand, this was spectacular security failure and we'll go through all the ways the secret service failed. they continue to drag their feet, we don't have the transcripts from interviews. we don't have the autopsy or toxicology reports. >> brooke: house passed bill to enhance secret service protection for presidential candidates, that bill is heading to the senate. >> todd: kates bedingfield failing to tone down rhetoric. they put a premium on driving contrast between the politics trump embody ied the last 10 years, threats to democracy. her team has been smart making
2:18 am
that jumping off point for change. >> todd: threats to dmsz. david webb joins me now. what do you make of this latest attack on the victim of an assassination attempt, donald trump. >> look, it is not unexpected, it really isn't. i refuse to be lectured by the person who was key person in the biden white house in covering up the failures of the sitting president of the united states, lying to american people and pro tenning enemies and other world leaders don't recognize what is going on. look what happened with president modi yesterday, biden did not know where he was. threat to the republic by people who lie about a person who is not capable of doing the job. her lecture means nothing.
2:19 am
i expect them to continue this. when you can't run on policy, you run on word salad, paint y opponent as an enemy or threat to the people. face it, this kind of rhetoric drives those who are near the edge or committed to leftism over the edge and that is dangerous. >> todd: they are running on lies, be clear about it. this is a lie, project 2025 is a lie, in vitro fertilization is a lie. rapper mclemore declaring f america to cheers benefiting un agency with hamas ties. take a look at this. >> straight up say it, i will not stop you, i will not stop you. f america.
2:20 am
[cheering] >> todd: david, what is the worst part of what mclemore said and the seattle crowd cheering or the fact this concert indirectly benefits hamas? >> well, he's got consistency in this, his histories easy to find. go back to 2013, he wore a outfit that looked or costume that looked like a nazi cartoon from the 1930s when the long nose hook jew was widely used then. it was not an accident. seattle does not surprise me when it comes to many of the people there. go outside of seattle and find a different washington state. it is that he feels free in a
2:21 am
free nation to criticize israel versus pro-terrorist organization or terrorist organizations he supports and he supports lgbtq. question for mclemore or statement, you are free to criticize israel in a free nation, go to a muslim nation and support lgbtq and see how that works out in iran, palestine and other areas in middle east, they kill gays, throw them off roofs and kill them in horrific ways. whether he is somebody out of touch making money off this image, i don't know. whether leftism or something that pushes him this way. while in america, he's a coward, he's safe, okay. go to the middle east macklemore

2:31 am
>> todd: danielle, how are swing state voters reacting to trump's plan? >> well, we know that swing state voters agree with president trump and want to secure border and make sure that we have a secure southern border like we did under president trump's administration and like we have lost under kamala harris' failure, recent poll states 54% of americans agree with deporting illegal immigrants, 10 to 20 million have invaded under kamala harris as border czar, top priority just below the economy which kamala harris failed american people on. president trump is ready to lead like he did during four years in the white house. >> todd: a lot of those individuals happy with the deportation plan are latinos who
2:32 am
did it illegally. key point to point out. trump rolling out another debate with bill melugin. take a listen. >> i've already done two debates and we're good. but to do a third one, everybody is voting now, it is late to be doing a third debate. once the election starts and it has started, it is bad to do a debate in middle of vote counting. this is late into the election, it would be a bad thing, bad for the country. >> todd: expand on that, why does trump think it is bad for the country? because fact so many votes are already cast or more to this? >> well, president trump has had two knock-out debates, one he took out his first opponent and second he clearly defeated
2:33 am
kamala harris. she was unable to make closing arguments or make the sale to the american people, unable to articulate why during the last three near years she's been an absolute failure. president trump has delivered plans on how tou unleash american energy, bring down inflation, close our southern border, he's delivered those messages to americans across the country in the debate and in tough interviews everyday, at rallies in deep blue states across the country and i think the argument is very clear. president trump will again restore our economy, bring down inflation and bring security at home and abroad. it is far too late for a debate especially when donald trump delivered in each debate. >> todd: understood.
2:34 am
donald trump's official position, as well. appreciate your time. michigan governor whit gretchen whitmer defend ing and ignoring fact they have done three times fewer interviews than team trump. we've heard other democrats in your position suggesting they want to see more from vice president harris and governor walz. >> i have incred ible confidenc in the vice president and walz, they are happy warriors, able to answer tough questions and eager to get back in a debate. >> todd: fox news contributor joe concha join us. happy warriors, sad warriors, that does notes answer why they don't answer questions. joe? >> joe: we know why, todd, if you take kamala harris out of a teleprompter and take away abc
2:35 am
news moderators holding her hand, it will not go well like we saw last week in the oprah interview. seeing staff turnover as vice president at 93% of people leaving because she's so difficult to work for. she is a happy warrior? happy is not the way to describe the country, 75% of voters say we are going in the wrong direction under joe biden and kamala harris. cost is living is too high, people are drowning in credit card debt, they are moving out upon neighborhoods, crime is out of control, the border is allowing illegal immigrants into the country, budgets are exhausted for including many on the terrorist watch list and
2:36 am
overseas, a war on fire, wars in middle east and ukraine continue. kamala harris is yet to hold one press conference since becoming democratic nominee, done less than 10 interviews and donald trump and j.d. vance have done nea nearly 80 starting in late july. they want to run out the clock and expose kamala harris her handlers only say unless controlled in a friendly environment, they will not allow her to do anything as far as actual answer questions that are somewhat uncomfortable and this is by the way, the most pat ebtly ridiculous campaign. 44 days before the election and in a dead heat. >> look at al smith dinner controversy, shes she is considering doing it next year.
2:37 am
reason i thought doesn't want to touch the catholic abortion issue. she does not want to engage in jo jokey banter, that is not her forte, she says make a joke, she does not need that, she needs to control it. she tries to control it with oprah and abc, they don't go well either. l.a. times writing, kamala harris tried being something she want and that liberal makeover is dodging her candidacy. she was most far left senator in the democratic primary in 2020. >> joe: kamala harris nevers what she means or means what she
2:38 am
said. she was against border wall and now for it, now she does not want to -- she wanted to ban fracking, now she's for fracking, she was opposing police, now she's for more police, weather vein candidate who will say anything to get elected. fox news poll last week, 55% of voters believe kamala harris will say anything to get elected and that ultimately inauthentic campaign may be her undoing. >> todd: what is funny and shocking to me, some people don't care and are voting for her anyway. joe concha, thank you for your time. appreciate it. battleground blunder, tim walz showing support for the tr trump-vance ticket. watch. >> she said it does not have to be this way. we can't afford four more years

government shut down before the election. will fund the government december 20th. give $231 million to the secret service it. has no trace of the save act legislation that would have required proof of citizenship from voters. new jersey congressman jeff van drew joins me now. congressman, are you worried about the save act non-citizens will be voting in our election come november? >> i am worried about it. americans should be worried about it. just think of this: there is not one democrat that would support the save act. they wouldn't make it part of the continuing resolution to keep government funded. all that legislation says is that if you are going to vote in a federal election, that you must be a united states citizen. we have got to be the only country in the world that wouldn't enforce something like that. can you imagine having illegals, some of them criminals, in the country who are going to be able to vote in an american federal election and can you imagine a
2:58 am
group of people -- and i hate to say it -- but the democrats in this case that will not support enforcing that they cannot vote. there are no words. it's that simple. it's that wrong. it's something that should be done. the democrats claim it's a redundancy. if it's a redundancy -- i don't believe it is -- but it's a good redundancy, it clarifies and crystallizes the fact that you have got to be an american to vote in an american election. tell me what is wrong with that. >> todd: i don't disagree with anything there. are you disappointed with your fellow republicans that shot down the initial proposal and they didn't vote with mike johnson, the speaker on this, for other reasons but tended up needing democrat votes and that's why johnson had to cave. are you frustrated with your party, congressman? >> i don't blame speaker johnson. speaker johnson is doing the best he can with a difficult situation. and what i would say to my friends and colleagues, the few republicans that didn't vote for it, they did not vote for it
2:59 am
because of the save act. they just felt that continuing resolutions have gone on long enough. and we really need to do better budgets. yeah. i get their point. but ronald reagan said if you agree with me 80% of the time, you agree with me. this is one of those cases. we can't let the perfect be the inform the good. it is frustrating. but nevertheless we have got to move on. i don't support just a plain straight up continuing resolution without the save act. but it will pass with democrat votes. >> todd: let's get to the election. donald trump will be a family farm in pennsylvania today talking about the threat that china poses to our farmers and food supply. you represent new jersey farm country that butts up against pennsylvania farm country. how important will farmers in swing states like pennsylvania be decide hog our next president is. 45 seconds to you, congressman? >> farmers are important. they produce our food. the fact that we would allow china to buy hundreds of
3:00 am
thousands of acres of very insensitive farmland near sensitive military institutions is unbelievable. it's wrong. when president trump becomes president, when we have control, that will stop. it shouldn't be allowed. it's dangerous to national security. it's wrong for the food supply chain. it's something that should be stopped. and i believe it will. >> todd: there is also the fact that so many of these farmers are getting absolutely killed in joe biden's inflationary america. kamala harris is tied to that because she has been vice president during that time period as well. i think if you talk to a lot of farmers, they want president trump in there question becomes, congressman, are there enough of them to sway the election come november? got to leave it there. congressman jeff van drew from the great state of new jersey even down there they are root for the eagles. don't forget to set your dvr 5:00 a.m. so you don't miss a minute of "fox & friends first."
