attacking power plants and a seaport after houthi militants fired missiles at israel over the past two days, marking the a fresh exchange in yet another front of this regional conflict. welcome to "fox news live," i'm mike emanuel. hezbollah has confirmed that another of its senior leaders was killed in an overnight israeli airstrike as the body of leader nasrallah has been recovered following friday's strike as iran says his death will be avenged. fox news senior correspondent mike tobin is live in haifa, israel, with the latest. hello, mike. >> reporter: hello, mike. iran is now condemning this latest strike as israel disregards condemnation from enemies and does the not let up on the pressure. this latest strike went into houthi-controlled yemen hitting a port and a power plant. this after two days of ballistic missiles fired by the houthis at central israel. those missiles were intercepted,

no injuries. israel fired on that port back in july after the i houthis hit tel aviv with a drone killing one. a day after confirmation that hassan nas nasrallah had been killed, his body was pulled from the rubble are, 20 hezbollah operatives killed along with him. in that same neighborhood, another council member was a ea saws nateed today. while attention is focused on the north, combat continues in the gaza strip. israel's fifth brigade along with the engineer corpses located a tunnel in central gaza complete with rooms for long stays underground. the engineers rigged it with explosives and blew it up. the uss abraham lincoln carrier strike group as well as an amphibious group will remain in this region with the threat of this conflict expanding. mike in. mike: mike tobin live in haifa, thanks very much. president biden hailed the

israeli airstrike that killed hezbollah's leader nasrallah as the white house broadwayses for possible iranian retaliation -- braces. lucas tomlinson is live at the white house with the latest. >> reporter: this morning the u.s. mill stair central command -- military central command says it has carried out a series of airstrikes earlier this month in syria targeting isis and annal tide -- al-qaeda affiliate killing become terrorists, but there's no response so far for the missile attack against three american warships friday. in a statement to a message to iran, defense secretary austin said, boat -- quote, should iran, its partners or its proxies use this moment to target american personnel or interests in the region, the united states will take every necessary measure to defend our people. here's senator tom cotton earlier. finish. >> over the last four years, they've given away tens of billions of dollars in sanctions relief, they've looked the other way as iran violates sanctions,

they've continually put more pressure on israel than they've put on iran's terrorist proxy. that's why kamala harris is the ayatollah's hand-picked candidate and why the ayatollahs are hacking into donald trump's campaign and trying to kill him. >> reporter: on "fox news sunday," senator chris coon says israel has every right to defend itself against hezbollah. >> they have been raining rockets on to northern israel since october 7th, so i think israel is justified in their strikes against hezbollah. >> reporter: looking across the region as you heard from mike, the wasp amphibious ready group is ready to rescue americans in beirut if necessary. the abraham lincoln aircraft carrier strike group remains on station, two of her destroyers came under that missile attack off the coast of yemen friday. president biden told reporters yesterday, quote, we're responding. now recall in her debate with former president donald trump, vice president kamala harris

says there are no american troops serving in war zones today. mike? mike: lucas tom lynnson live from the north -- tomlinson live from the north lawn, thanks a lot. let's bring in ambassador to the united nations, danny danon. welcome. >> thank you for having me, mike. mike: let's talk about the operation today taking out houthi targets. why did you feel the need to do that today? >> well, it was another unprovoked attack against israel. you know, mike, you showed the map earlier, the distance between israel and yemen, and you ask yourself why we have a conflict with yemen. the only reason because there are proxies of iran, and they send ballistic missiles into israel, and we cannot sit idly by. enough is enough. whoever attacks israel, we will retaliate whether in beirut or yemen, and we're sending a message to others, be very careful about attacking israel. we will not wait, we will attack them back immediately.

mike: there is some reported tension between the pentagon, secretary austin and gallant, the defense minister of your country, over the lack of notice before taking out hezbollah's leader, nasrallah. is that fair, and should there have been better communication between the u.s. and israel before that happened? >> no. there's a strong bond between israel and the u.s., and we appreciate the support of the u.s., and i can tell you we consort with our allies in washington, but not always you can for permission. i don't think it would serve the interests of the u.s. if israel would ask for permission. we tell the americans and other colleagues we are hunting down those terrorists. and when you look at nasrallah, they are enemies of the u.s. they have the blood on their hands of american soldiers, marine soldiers that attacked u.s. embassies, so i think the u.s. should be thankful for what we did, killing those bad guys. so i don't think it's useful to come and ask for permission.

we are a sovereign nation, but we are coordinating with our operations, but i don't think it's now to ask for permission before every attack. mike: you're taking out terror leaders in lebanon, you're also taking out those targets in yemen, you're also dismantling underground tunnels in gaza. what's the latest on that effort? >> you know, everything is linked to iran. mike, you mentioned all the a proxies. they all get funding from iran, they get directions from iran, and we are fighting those bad guys and also in gaza, you know in re-- we removed the head, we still have 101 hostages now suffocating, we don't know their conditions, no visitation of the red cross or any u.n. officials. so we are committed to bring them back home. either we do it through negotiations or with military operations. we are moving forward in gaza, and i think we are sending a message that we are going to -- [inaudible]

since october 7th, we're going to mention next week a year for the massacre. we expect that our enemies will realize that they cannot destroy us. we are a strong nation, determination, a peaceful nation and and, hopefully, once they will realize they cannot destroy us, we can speak about some kind of a ceasefire if or even treaties with other countries. mike: the biden administration is still pushing for diplomatic talks. let's play this from john kirby at the white house. >> we are continuing to talk to the israelis about what the right next steps are. and as you rightly said in the opening here, the president continues to believe that there needs to be time and space for diplomacy. and that means we'd like to see a ceasefire in place so that that diplomacy can breathe. mike: mr. ambassador, is there any chance of a ceasefire if anytime soon? >> yes, absolutely are, mike. we are open for diplomacy. we are ready with goals. we want to the allow the israels who left their homes in northern

israel that live in shelter places for almost a year, we want to allow them to come back to their home, and if we want to push hezbollah from the fence. if we can achieve it with diplomacy, i think it will be great. if not, we will use our right. but i think now is the tame for the lebanese government -- time for the lebanese government and the lebanese people to find the courage to push back against hezbollah and to make sure that they take control over their country, their future and not allow hezbollah to drive them to another war with israel. we can avoid that, but it will require lebanon to be much more involved. mike: ambassador danny danon, grateful for your time today, sir. thank you very much. >> thank you very much, mike. ♪ ♪ mike: vice president kamala harris will wrap up her west coast campaign swing with a rally in las vegas tonight. this follows her tour of a border facility in arizona as she lags behind former president trump in recent polling on the issue of immigration.

that's right at the southern border. she says she supports the bipartisan border bill negotiated in the senate that would add more agents, fennal if detection hardware and asylum officers. trump opposed it, scuttling the bill. trump and his supporters have called harris' trip nothing more than a photo op and say her positions have changed wildly since her run for president back in 2020. democrats argue her positions have evolved with events. >> it's natural, of course, that you adapt your policies to meet the moment. and what kamala harris has put forward is that she would stand up for the bipartisan border security bill that donald trump torpedoed. finish. >> reporter: trump is back in wisconsin next week on tuesday, he holds a pair of events here. mikeing back to you. mike: rich edson, thanks very much. ♪ mike: for more on those shocking i.c.e. numbers that show how

night during her border speech, and she didn't even bring it up. she owes it to the american public to tell us what she is going to do to make americans feel safer. mike: all right. i want to show our viewers what homeland security is saying about those numbers to give their side of the story. quote, the data in this letter is being misinterpreted. the data goes back decades and includes individuals who entered the country over the past 40 years or more. the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this administration. it also includes many who are under the jurisdiction or currently incarcerated by federal, state or local law enforcement partners, but to be clear, border crossings during the biden administration hit record highs. what's your reaction to the all this? >> right. this is their cya move, and if they're going to raise this claim, then they owe it to the american people to show us the numbers. how many are really in any form of detention? also kamala harris and the biden

administration has been keeping i.c.e. beds empty, at least 4,000 beds. so if the administration were serious about this, she could go out now and say i have already instructed i.c.e. to fill those empty beds and to reprioritize other resources to arrest and detain even more and get dangerous criminals off the streets. mike: all right. i want to play for you some of former president trump talking about the border issue, i'll get you to react to it. >> what kamala harris has done to our border is a betrayal of every citizen. it's a betrayal of her oath, and it's a betrayal of the american nation. not only must she be defeated, but in light of this news, kamala harris should immediately resign the vice presidency -- [applause] and go home to california in disgrace. she should resign. [applause] mike: what are your thoughts on what the former president said there? >> well, kamala harris has tried to overcome the terrible border

situation that she is in with a 2020-minnesota photo op at -- 20-minute photo op at the last hour, and it's not going to work. it's not going to overcome her experience, her record and her remarks during which can she's said it's not a crime to cross the border illegally, which is wrong. during which she has equated i.c.e. with the kkk, during which she has said that she would end immigration detention day one and during which she said american taxpayers should pay for sense changes for illegal aliens who are in detention. mike: all right. to be fair, i want to play some of vice president harris on what she would do if elected president. >> and as president, i won't only bring back the border security bill that donald trump tanked, i will do more to secure our border. to reduce illegal border crossingsings, i will take further -- crossings, i will take further action to keep the border closed between ports of entry. mike: based on the biden administration record of which she is an active part, do you buy it?

>> no. she's in office now. she could do this now and she's not. she keeps talking about the past when she was california attorney general or in the future because she wants to become president, but she's in power now. she could do these things right now, and she simply hasn't. she is not to be believed. mike: great to have your perspective today. >> thank you, mike. mike: at least 600 people are dead -- 60 people are dead and entire neighborhoods underwater as the southeast cleans up from the devastation of hurricane helene. that coverage is next. ♪ and with the right help, i can make this place i love even better. earn up to 5% cash back on business essentials with the chase ink business cash card from chase for business. here's to getting better every thursday. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need, and the flavor you love. so, here's to now...

♪ mike: vice presidential nominees j.d. vance and tim walz are on

the stump this weekend ahead of their first and only planned debate on tuesday. madeleine rivera is previewing the latest on the debate showdown. hello, maddie. >> reporter: hi, mike. tuesday's debate may be the only time they cross paths this election cycle, and per cnn, walz is feeling the nerves. the minnesota above is reportedly nervous he might not be able to make his case as clearly as his opponent who's seen as a skilled debater by the campaign. his preparation sessions have stretched into the late evening hours and weekends with transportation secretary pete butte judge helping out in a personal capacity -- pete buttigieg by role-playing vance is. part of their strategy is to needle vance over his 180 on trump. >> i hope that on the debate stage he's asked about his past comments of donald trump and why now, suddenly, the policy positions are okay. and is he's even willing to go further. >> reporter: vance, for his part, says he's tested every time he's out on the dam pain trail doing -- campaign trail.

house majority whip tom emmer who's playing the role of walz in debate sessions says he will expose the governor's flaw pd policies. as for the rules, here are the rules. there will be no audience, and the mics will stay on at all times, but they can be muted at the moderator's discretion. vance will go second during closing statements. as for how this might affect the election, vice presidential debates rarely affect the outcome, but it could sway some voters in a race this close. mike: maddie, thanks so much. let's bring in today's political panel, 917 strategies' founder and st., sarah sullivan -- and president, sarah rasul van and david defurry, welcome to both of you. here is minnesota congressman tom emmer talking up j.d. vance. >> he's going to do a great job. he can talk about the economy that donald trump fixed and that harris and biden broke. he can talk about the border

that trump fixed and they broke. he can talk about peace and stability around the world which they don't even have a clue. they've caused all of this disruption. and once he understands that tim walz is just going to try and deflect, he'll hold him accountable. mike: what are you expectations, david in. >> i'm excited for this debate because i think they're actually going to get into policy. if you look at the trump-harris debate, they didn't get into the specifics of the policy, this wasn't a great contrast on policy. the reason is because trump doesn't like to talk about policy details. he talks in platitudes, and he says -- he has the best plan for this or the best economy, and it's hard the really have a debate about that. i think vance is going to dig in more and he's going to try to contrast the his policies and trump's policies with harris and walz. and i think it's going to be very interesting. i think they are going to try to out-folksy each other, and so

there'll also be a contrast of styles. mike: all right. want the play for you a harris campaign senior adviser setting expectations. >> we know that j.d. vance is a skilled debater. he has been preparing for this. he has the pressure of trying to make up for donald trump's disastrous debate performance. governor walz does not. mike: how do you see it, sarah? >> it's going to be an interesting matchup. it's completely different than what we expected between kamala and j.d. who are a pretty equal match when it comes to their history. but just like kamala, tim doesn't really do well off prompter, so it's interesting to see him go in completely blind, no staffer to help hem halfway through, no audience to to play into. and j.d. vance is a phenomenal debater. he always has been. so to go in and see that, we don't know what to expect, but the only thing we can look forward to is seeing how tim might embarrass kamala by trying to be too folksy. mike: all right. so the hearst campaign's taking

some criticism from allies. "the new york times" saying ms. harris needs to do more interviews to close voters -- oh, excuse me. to close voters' knowledge gap about her. forgive me. and then in the atlantic there's also some criticism about suggesting that governor walz has been bubble wrapped. what about that, david? >> well, notably harris wants another debate with trump. that's really the best way to compare them as potential presidents. and why is trump denying that? why is trump hiding from that? it's because he failed in the first debate, and he's scared to debate her again. i think that's the most importanter shoe. but i would say harris -- important issue. the american people should see more of her, but the debate would be the best way, and trump has every opportunity to accept that and he won't. walz is going to -- we're going to see walz for 90 minutes against vance. i think he's -- this is his way to introduce himself also to

america because he wasn't a national candidate, a national personality before he was selected by harris. vance is a little better known, so this is a great chance for walz to the really get into depth and show who he is and what his experience is, this is incredible, andal talk about the policies. mike: how do you see this strategy that they're employ being at the harris campaign? >> honestly, i think it's really bad. if we do see a second debate, it is going to be at the end of october which at the end of that, most of early voting is underway, 1 in 10 candidates in most of the battleground states are saying that they might change their mind, but that's about it. people are so firmly harris or trump. we need to get more from kamala. she's had way too many softball interviews. if you want to know something about kamala, or you can't just tune in and expect it to be a puff piece like thiess oprah. -- she's oprah. i think voters deserve better than what their campaign's doing. mike: all right. brief answers from both of you, please. [laughter] the politics at the border. vice president harris went, does

that change anything, david, in terms of the issue in this campaign? >> the most important issue on the border with that that there was a bipartisan bill that republicans and democrats in congress supported, and it would have helped with the border. actually, the border patrol agents also supported it. you know who didn't support it? president donald trump because he doesn't want to fix the problem, he wants to run on the problem, and that's what harris was talking about this week is that trump killed that bill and it was one of the most craven political acts that happened. representative the keith self from,, a republican, blamed the republicans in congress for listening to trump, and americans should know about that and hear more about that. why did trump do that? if he cares about the border, why did he kill that bill? mike: sarah? >> it's three and a half years, she hasn't been doing anything, people are seeing through it, voters are upset. mike: all right, great to see you both. >> thank you, mike. mike: anti-israel protests expected to descend on new york city if today in response to israeli airstrikes in lebanon.

these protesters. things are expected to kick off at around 22 p.m. local time. -- 22 p.m. local time. if it's like the past a, mike, there could be a sea of palestinian flags, scarfs here in times square, again, anti-israel protesters should be arriving in a matter of moments. back to you. mike: c.b. cotton live in times square, thanks very much. how a looming strike at u.s. ports beginning tomorrow night could have a major impact on your wallet and disrupt the presidential election. that's next. ♪ work better together. like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. voya provides tools that help you make the right investment and benefit choices. so you can reach today's financial goals and look forward to a more confident future. voya, well planned, well invested, well protected.

good faith, but ila is maintaining its position as they negotiate a new 6-year contract. they want less automation and say they deserve higher wages. if a strike does happen, it could eventually limit the availability of goods and potentially drive up costs for consumers. a white house press secretary tells fox news that the biden-harris administration is monitoring the situation and urging both parties to reach an agreement that benefits both sides to prevent any disruptions. mike? mike: christina coleman reporting live, thanks very much. for more, let's bring in founding member of the capitalist pig hedge fund fox business contributor jonathan hoenig and car dealership owner tom america aoli -- america aoli, gentlemen, welcome. >> thank you. mike: let's flash on the screen those statistics in terms of the potential impact, 45,000 workers from 3 dozen ports, handling 43 of all u.s. imports. costs could be $5 billion plus per day.

tom, what would be the impact on your business? >> well, listen, you know, i believe the strike's going to happen. i think it's imminent, and i have to tell you it'll be the devastating, you know? pre-to covid, we used to keep 60, 9 90 days' worth of inventory, post-covid we're down to a 30-day supply, 45-day supply. we're going to burn through that quickly, but the bigger impact is on parts to repair these vehicles and keep them on the road. people need to get to work and get their kids to school, and if those parts aren't available, the cars are going to sit. it's going to be traumatic. i heard some saw saw statistics, for every day that the strike goes on, it's going to the take 30 days to get everything back up and going. it's going to be devastating. mike: all right. let's show the map of the different ports up and and down the east coast and the gulf coast that would be impacted potentially by a strike. a senate portion of the coast at least -- significant portion of the coast at least on the ian

sea ambassador, jonathan, what would be the impact if a strike happens and big picture to our economy? >> it will be long lasting, mike. upwards of a cost of $4-5 billion a day and so many ancillary jobs even beyond the 45,000 plus longshoremen who are set to go on strike. what's interesting too ising obviously, this is a confluence of not just economics, but politics as well. it doesn't look great for vice president harris to have so much of trade, upwards of half of all goods, impacted. what's interesting, mike, is the demands from the longshoremen if. they're not just asking for higher pay, about 70% of a wage hike over 6 years, they're also asking for the complete ban of automation for the ports. so they don't want machines coming in potentially taking their jobs. pretty, you know, incredible demands and pretty incredible odds given, you know, impact this strike could have. mike: of course, american consumers have been dealing with inflation over the past few years, that is a concern, potentially prices going up. let's play it. >> so are you worried about

prices going higher finish. >> yes. >> -- if a strike were to happen? >> yes, i am. i am. it's hard to be able to make ends meet as it is. it's going to be even worse. mike: tom, to you expect prices to go up in. >> prices are going to go up. i mean, listen, the economic cycle and the economy of the united states of america is based on supply and demand. we lived that through covid when there was no supply, we're going to get that again. it's going to be in supermarkets, car dealerships, it's going to be in the lumberyards, everywhere across the spectrum. and it's going to be devastating. and, you know, listen, i think the labor unions were very strategic calling this strike when they did, you know? we're getting close to an election here, and it's going to be difficult for the white house to step in because they don't want to lose the labor union votes. i think they're in a tough position, so i think we're going to see this strike happen, you're going to see more inflation, and i think it's going to be devastating to the u.s. economy. mike: jonathan, we're heading into the christmas/holiday season. what about the impact in terms

of stores needing to the stock their shelves? >> it'll be holiday shopping, but it'll also be everyday goods. seafood comes in and out of these ports, tremendous amount of electronics, machine parts, pharmaceuticals. it certainly has an impact on the holiday season and prices will go up whether it's now or later. they'll go up because of scarcity in the short term, but if the union gets anything close to the what they're asking, it'll go up over the longer term in terms of higher costs passed on to everyday consumers as well. mike: gentlemen, thank you very much for your time and analysis today. fascinating segmenting thanks so much. >> thank you. mike: coming up, more from my colleague, griff jenkins,' exclusive interview with ukrainian president zelenskyy as he discusses iran's involvement in the war on ukraine. that's next. ♪ ♪
