griff: we are on the clock at

space force station cape cape canaveral. in just moments, spacex will launch its crew nine mission to the international space station carrying two astronauts and two empty seats for the starliner astronauts, butch and sunny, left behind. we'll take you there live and watch the blastoff together. welcome to "fox news live," i'm griff jenkins. one more hour. anita: i'm anita vogel. first, hezbollah has now confirmed that its leader, hassan nasrallah, was killed in an israeli strike in beirut following weeks of intensified fighting between hezbollah and the idf. mike tobin is live in haifa, israel, with the very latest. good evening, mike. >> reporter: good evening, anita. there's been at least two additional airstrikes from israel that have gone into that beirut suburb, the same neighborhood where hassan nas

nasal -- nasrallah was killed yesterday, and another individual was taken out by one of the assassinations this evening. this as as israel continues it brutal and unrelenting air campaign that is december mantling the hezbollah command structure. the strike that went into the neighborhood yesterday was massive. the collateral damage is all but certain, we just don't have any figures as far as how extensive the chat corral damage was -- collateral damage was. but the destruction will prevent future attacks and greater loss of life. when nasrallah was killed, he was meeting with remaining hezbollah commanders including hezbollah's number three who is now dead. israel said nasrallah had blood on his hands, and he chose to be in this war when hezbollah fired on israel october 8th, and that choiced had consequences. >> hezbollah is a threat to the

state of lebanon and today concern to the world. as of last night, hezbollah's leader will no longer be able to terrorize the world. >> reporter: the death of hassan nasrallah didn't stop the rocket fire. there have been alarms all throughout the day and evening. central israel just a short time ago had an alarm go off as a ballistic missile was fired out of yemen. it was intercepted resulting in no injuries. while iraq and iran if go into mourning, iran's supreme leader promises nasrallah's blood will not go unavenge venned. -- unavaninged. -- unavenged. u.s. posture will be enhanced in the region to, as biden put it, to prevent this conflict from widen. benjamin netanyahu has returned from his trip to the u.s., he landed in tel aviv and returned to israel's version of the pentagon where he is being briefed on the latest and

presumably planning the next stages ahead. anita, back to you. anita: mike tobin, live in israel, thank you. well, for more on this we are joined by former special assistant to the president and senior director at the national security council, michael allen. michael, thank you so much for coming in today on this big news. >> thank you. anita: i wonder if you could just put this into context for us. is this equivalent to the assassination of qassem soleimani or osama bin laden? what does this killing mean? >> it's very much in both of those categories. hassan nasrallah has been terrorizing not only the united states with, but especially israel for at least 20 years. and it's been a big debate, i think, within the national security community and israel of whether this would be a good idea to go ahead and attack them. if i think after october 7th, as you well know, the security situation has changed so much for the israelis, they feel like they need to restore deterrence. they were worried that their

enemies didn't fear them, so they needed to go in extra hard in gaza, and now they're going after hezbollah. they simply cannot live with another general sidal terrorist organization on one of their borders. anita: well, do you think their enemies feel differently now? i want to put smudge on the screen. this is sort of the hierarchy of hezbollah and the people who are still left. i wonder if we could put that -- there we go. they are going down one by one by one. it looks like there's one person heft there there -- left there. so when you say their enemies don't fear them, what are they thinking now? what's iran thinking now? >> well, i think iran's got to be impressed and worried. they, of course, also hit inside of iran recently, and the israelis have just done a series of daring events. remember, they went inside of a mountain and blew up a hezbollah drone facility. they have done a decapitation strike, they did the pagers and

the walkie-talkie attacks. and so now i know that they must be very fearful for all of their security. and why is that a great idea just other than we're taking people off the battlefield in it's that whoever survives in hezbollah is going to have to spend most of their day figuring out how to stay alive, and that means they're not planning external terrorist attacks. anita: yeah. israel has shown a very aggressive posture in the past several weeks. i want to put reaction up on the screen now from mitch mcconnell. we have this from senator mitch mcconnell. he says, hassan nasrallah authored decades of terror and suffering across the middle east. israelis, americans, lebanese and syrians are safer without him on the battlefield. america should heed this reminder of what it means to impose costs and justice on those who wish us harm. let me ask you to react to that but also the fact that it seems like the u.s. did not get any

warning on this. are you surprised? >> i'm not surprised. i think that the israelis don't want to ask permission of the united states under any situation because they're a sovereign nation. but especially the biden administration who would have just immediately started to try and talk them out of it. i think the biden administration have not read the room well since october 7th. they are repeatedly trying to force our ally into ceasefire situations. i get it, we do want to deescalate this crisis. we don't want a war. but the israelis had some business to settle, and i think it would be wiser if the biden administration recognized that instead of beating up israel all the time. anita: i've got 15 seconds left, what does this mean in terms of a wider role and what role, if any, does the u.s. have? >> if iran comes back at israel like they did in april, our role will be to help defend israel like we did last time. but iran has a big decision to make, and that that's what's

happening today. anita: do you think they're going to do something? >> i think they have to. the question is by way of a terrorist proxy somewhere in the world, or will they hit the israelis directly like they tried to do in april. anita: well, the world is waiting to see. thank you so much, michael allen, for coming in today and gives us your insight. appreciate it. griff. griff: anita, three iranian nationals have been charged by the doj for allegedly hacking former president trump's presidential campaign and sending stolen material to people associated with the biden campaign. madeleine rivera is live with the latest on this story. hey, maddie. >> reporter: hi, griff. this alleged hacking campaign is wide ranging, but it's not necessarily surprising to intelligence and security officials who have long been -- what they call a pattern of aggressive behavior the from iran. these are the men who have been indicted by the justice department. the doj accuses them of stealing campaign material from the

personal accounts of people associated with former president trump's team. and then over the summer, they allegedly leaked this information to members of the media and folks then linked the president biden's campaign. >> while there's no indication that any of the recipients of the stolen campaign information actually replied, iran's attempt was clear, to sow discord and shape the the outcome of our elections. >> reporter: per the doj, the suspects are members of iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps. the agency says they made fake e-mail accounts impersonating government officials to trick their recipients, and they did so from iran. the u.s. is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to their arrest. still, it's unlikely they'll be extradited to the u.s. so when asked about the types of consequences these three might face, here's what attorney general merrick garland had to say. >> this is a all-of-government effort, and so it includes sanctions, it includes rewards

for justice. and, third, i think as history has shown the justice department has a very long memory, and we are going to the pursue these people endlessly. >> reporter: u.s. officials say iran has targeted trump since 2020 the keen on revenge after the killing of general qassem soleimani. they warn the threats aren't only coming from iran, adding russia and china are also working to undermine the election. griff. griff: madeleine rivera live in washington, thank you very much. >> reporter: you got it. griff: we're now joined by republican congressman from texas and member of the bipartisan trump assassination attempt task force pat fallon. congressman, thank you for taking time on a saturday. i want to get to your task force and whether or not president trump, former president trump is safe at this moment. but first, i want you to sort of react, if you can, to this latest news of these three iranian nationals in this hacking attempt. >> well, griff, it's very clear that we have to enforce the sanctions that are already on the books.

under president trump when the sanctions were being enforced, the iranian oil exports amounted to about $8 billion annually, and now it's up to over $4 4 the 2 billion. so you can sow a lot of mayhem, murder and what not if with an exthere $35 million. we need to also go on the offensive in the cyber sphere as well, and we need to sanction their drones, missiles and, again, particularly their energy. griff: let's turn now to the safety of the former president. we had a busy week of developments. i want to start with the secret service, director rowe's sort of statement, if you will. his latest, we thank congress for dreag addressing some of the u.s. secret service's most immediate needs in this heightened threat environment. this short-term funding will better equip the u.s. secret service to enhancer hasn't -- enhance security measures in the months ahead. he continues, we look forward to working with congress on

full-year funding to deliver the additional personnel, technology and equipment our work force needs to do their jobs. congressman, your reaction to that statement. >> i think that we need to be very clear here. the secret service has 8,000 employees and a $3.1 billion budget. they may need a few more resources, but to sit there and ask for, essentially, the doubling of their budget when they had an end pin, historic, catastrophic failure is not going to sit well with the american peep, and it certainly doesn't sit well with me and other members of congress. it wouldn't have cost them anything, griff, to have surrounded the agr business in butler, pennsylvania. very little to put cameras on the roof or, for that matter, local law enforcement on the roof and had one command post, if not two. there were nine different things they could have done, and they chose not to do them, and almost none the of them cost any money, and some cost just a fraction. so they need tome brace technology. from the whistleblowers i've talked to, they say they simply

need to spend the money that they have more efficiently, and they said embrace technology, change some of the training and really change the culture of the secret service to better protect the president and the other protecte e es under their care. griff: and, congressman, i would ad one more to the list. it was just startling rev legses of failures. -- revelations. one that stood out to me was the lack of radio communications between the local law enforcement and the secret service. >> uh-huh. griff: i want to play for our listeners just a snippet from i one of the butler emergency services people. here -- listen to this. >> i do not believe they could hear us at all. they did not have a radio from us, and we did not have a radio from them so, you know, in the local command if post there was no way for us to hear any of the secret service radio traffic. griff: congressman, they're not talking to each other? as former president now heads back to9 butler, the big question is, are you confident about his safety?

>> i think he's, his second trip to butler he'll be safer, but, you know, we need to -- this is a zero-fail mission, griff. [laughter] and the fact that we're talking about in 2024 they can't employ radios where -- [no audio] talk with secret service is damning. i mean, this could cost people their lives, and it did cost corey comperatore his life. it would have cost them nothing to have let local law enforcement in on the fact that there was a nation-state threat against president trump is also some of their own local law enforcement -- or secret service agents from the pittsburgh office didn't know that either. so it's about changing culture, figuring out what happened in butler, figure out what happened in west palm beach to make sure those never happen again. but also in a strategic sense changing the way they do business from the top down. griff: and just in the last 30 seconds or so i've got, congressman, i want to ask you, you know, it's not nothing that a we've learned that former president trump's wisconsin

event today moved inside because of what appears to be a shortage of resources for secret service. >> again, i think that you have to tart at the top, and who's the first person they have to protect? the sitting president and then the vice president and then presidential candidates. president trump is right up there. he's arguably the most famous person in the world, so for them to say they don't have the resources to protect these top three people is absolutely absurd. start there and then go down the list, because they have many protectee, s. if somebody is the uncle of of some protectee, if some family member has to save off one or two, that's the way it has to be. there's a few different things they need as far as the technology standpoint goes and also using other resources, because to train more secret service agents is going to take a couple of years, griff. griff texas congressman pat fallon, we look forward to following the continued hearings and investigation by your task force. thank you for taking time. >> thanks, griff. god bless.

take care. anita: after a delay due to hurricane helene, a space, and rocket is about to take off -- spacex rocket is about to take off. the spacecraft will ultimately return in february with its initial crew plus two more astronauts being left behind by the boeing starliner. jonathaner is isly joins us now live from the kennedy space center. if so, jonathan, are we, are we onboard for a takeoff here? if are we t-minus this happening? if. >> reporter: yes. so far so good, and thewet has been improving -- weather has been improving. in addition to that 2-day hurricane delay that you mentioned, crew 9 has had to adapt to some major changes including who actually gets to go up on the rocket. the names of the original four crew members were removed from the official mission patch. nasa pulled to two astronauts from this afternoon's launch to allow one cosmonaut to travel to the international space station

with two empty seats or -- on the space, and dragon spacecraft, those seats reserved for butch will more and sunny williams. >> we're going to launch as a 22-person crew and land as a 44-person crew, and one -- 2-person and 4-person, and one of the unique challenge as is integrating them into the to operations when they've had a min maul dragon training before they launched. >> reporter: earlier this month, starliner returned without astronauts because nasa was concerned about thruster problems during their inbound flight back in june. >> i don't look back and say would have, could have, should have. i look back and say, going forward, how can i fix -- what can we do to make this better. >> i think the up part is we're here with our friends. we've got a ride home, and, you know, we're looking forward to the next couple months and doing a lot of stuff for the international space sayings.

station. >> reporter: and, anita and griff, butch and sunny will officially join the crew 99 mission conducting experiments onboard the international space station for the next five months and then all four will return together on that dragon spacecraft. and now we are just seconds away from the launch of crew 99. let's -- crew 9. let's watch. griff: as our viewers are looking live, jonathan, at the space station in cape ca canaveral and this liftoff, it really is a marvel of the technology, this one taking off from the private investment community working, of course, with nasa. but space, and, elon musk -- spacex, elon musk putting this rocket into space and two seats open for, i imagine, butch and

sunny are probably watching closer than anybody to make sure it gets off the launch pad. >> reporter: i'm sure they are. just as they watched the boeing starliner depart the international space station and land successfully in the desert out west, i'm sure that they are watching as a we are the launch of this spacex falcon 9 rocket carrying a dragon spacecraft into low earth orbit. if. anita: jonathan, you can only imagine nobody is happier to see this launch than those two astronauts. they went up for what they thought was going to be an 8-day journey, and they're been up there for, what, 3 months already, and it'll be a total of 7 months before they can come home in february. can you tell us, what have you been hearing about their condition? i understand that butch is having some eyesight problems

and, you know, astronauts are vulnerable to all kinds of problems in extended space time. what have you heard? >> reporter: yeah. they are. anytime you have an extended stay in space and in micro gravity, you have to worry about your bones, you have to worry about your muscles. butch and sunny, once they realized that they were going to have this ebb tended stay, they had to extend their daily workouts to reduce do the bone loss, to keep their muscles built up. when they get back to earth, as with any astronaut undergoing a long stay in space, there will be a rehabilitation process. you mentioned the eye problems. many astronauts suffer from some minor if changes in their vision when they're up in space. this can be treated when they're back on earth. it is such a rare privilege to go into space when you talk to these astronauts even though they miss their families and they regret having to cancel

plans with family and friends, they actually welcome the extended time in space. they're enjoying it. but i know when they finally get back to earth, there will be a lot of people wanting to welcome them back home. griff: and lastly as we take that last look, the bottom-left of your screen, the velocity kilometers per hour, over 6,000, that is nearly 4,000 miles an hour. the technology is just something amazing to watch. jonathan serrie, thank you very much. anita, we will let this rocket go up and get butch and sunny. anita: yeah. beautiful pictures there too. jonathan serrie, thank you so much for the live report. griff: meanwhile, millions remain without power as recovery efforts are ongoing in the southeast after hurricane helene's devastation. a live report next. ♪ ♪

issue, but in these swing states, the economy is deeply important. why are things more expensive? a lot of times because we're not building enough. we don't have the abundance necessary to meet our resource, manufacturing and energy needs. and when kamala harris has a record of shutting down, you know, mining projects in alaska and limiting our ability to, you know, unshackle businesses from regulations and permitting and donald trump is going out there saying he wants to cut red tape, he wants to build new nuclear, he wants to embrace all kinds of build, baby, build strategies, you can understand why he's leading in that category. anita: chris, what do you think? people are looking to get out from this tough economy. do you think they put kamala harris, i mean, she's in the administration now, so what's going to be different if she wins the election? >> let's not forget why we are here. we had to clean up after four years of a mess that the trump-pence administration left us. we had a fiasco with can covid, we had an economy in the tank. this is now on -- not on the up

and up. you have the stock market now in historic territory, it's doing pretty well and, again, inflation is pretty low. go back to the issue of immigration and also the issue of the polling that you just showed. yes, the polling is neck and neck, that's true. voters are concerned about a whole host of issues, but no voter is really a one-issue voter. we care about abortion, we care about the border, we care about the economy. what it comes down to, having to go back to four years of trump and tweet after a tweet and chaos, i think that independent voter in the suburbs is going to say i've had enough, i'm ready for new, younger, inner energetic,. >> charismatic generation. anita: i want to put unone kind of surprising poll. this is in georgia. the question was asked who do you think will do a better job protecting the middle class. look at this. kamala harris 7 points ahead, a very quick answer to both of you, why do you think that is? >> i think that there's just a new, a sense of new with her,

and so i think people are just hopeful that if change comes in and she is seen as candidate of change even though she's been there for the last four years, that something will get better. and i think they do remember can covid and things being rough while trump was still president, but they're going to come to realize that the first three years of that presidency we saw economic growth that is unmatched. anita: quick thought. >> they're realizing that trump is not interested in helping anyone but himself. it's a selfish presidency, the middle class needs someone who cares about them, and that's kamala harris. anita: on to. immigration. kamala harris went to the border yesterday. a lot of people say, hey, it's too late, too late. -- too little, too late. she talked about the border bill. let's hear from trump first followed by kamala harris. >> you will hear kamala claim that the reason the border is not secure is that congress has refused to pass her atrocious border bill. it's the worst bill you've ever seen. >> even though donald trump tried to sabotage the border
