5:06 am
that is this. they don't want to be replaced by robot then salary goes to zero. while they are on strike, is there a strike fund? a lot of unions have strike funds. while you walk, we will pay your rent or electricity or something? >> good question, i asked them how they are going to get by if they are out of work. they did not give me specifics, they did say they feel they are supported by their union boss out in new jersey and they'll go back to the table in the next week or so, they don't want to go back unless automation is not in the contract. as far as their needs and necessities one said he would rather take unemployment than to assign anything that has

license plate number. they have two guys that stand there to write it down or automation to take a picture of it. workers want the jobs to last. problem is, what if you miss a car. i'm glad they have jobs and want more money. they are asking for a lot of money and trickle-down effect. we interviewed a straun own er t the dock and he said there is no one coming in to eat they are picketing. >> steve: there is automation in their current contract, it is in the current contract and want rid of it completely. to put a bow on it, in new york city and new jersey and connecticut area, for decades, there were toll takers at bridges and tunnels and they are
5:09 am
gone now, that job has been auto mated, it is more efficient. used to be 90-minute wait, i know for a fact, i sat in traffic. it is better for customer service, but a lot of people unloaded stuff and next step to whatever next thing is probably going to be painful. >> lawrence: another crisis, fox weather alert, 191 people confirmed dead in aftermath of hurricane helene. >> ainsley: will deploy troops to help with recovery efforts. stook live in western north carolina, tell us about that business. we are in valley cruces, from

5:12 am
israelis what they'll do. all seven of us agree they have a right into respond but should respond -- >> steve: nate foy is live in tel aviv with the latest, waiting to find out what israelis intend to do. >> absolutely, steve. iran has said they will strike back if israel responds, we could be in a situation. including houthi rebels. they have killed 450 hamas
5:13 am
terrorists in airstrikes and close contact and destroyed tunnel network. israel announced they killed key hamas political figure months ago. he was considered sinwar's right-hand man. he was killed in knowa airstrike. lebanon health ministry report nine people killed in israeli airstrike overnight. killed 60 hezbollah terrorists in the past day and 15 came in the next strike in southern lebanon. limited ground offensive.
5:14 am
iran says it targeted airbases and masoud headquarter on the outskirt it is of tel aviv and to your question, steve, off the jump, how israel responds is crucial concern pointing to fact israel was able to defend itself and iran was unsuccessful. israeli leaders have said iran will pay quite a price for the attack on tuesday. back to you. >> steve: you are in tel aviv, are people of tel aviv worried that iran could start shooting gigantic missiles at them again? >> i'll tell you what, steve, during the attack on itself, we went down to the shelter and you saw families jovial, not concerned at all. amount of confidence israel has in air defense system is staggering, they are confident
5:15 am
knowing iran could respond in kind if israel responds to tuesday's strike, amount of concern here is probably less than you would think. >> steve: okay. very good. be safe. thank you for the live report. >> lawrence: iran is number one state sponsor of terror and telephone to go after israel and continue to try to assassinate former president of the united states donald trump. zero response to that. we sent secret service to protect their president while he was in town. israel is trying for a diplomatic solution, part of the diplomatic solution was to give them amnesty they would not go after sinwar, that was rejected. israel is going to get their hostages, america has not done t that. there are americans being held
5:16 am
captive. will joe biden back israel up if they go after nukeclear plants? >> steve: i can answer your question, they urged israel to avoid attacks on iran's nuclear facilities, that sounds like a no. jim hansen has been in special ops for a long time and was with us last hour and he said probably right now is the perfect time for israel to go after iran's nuke stuff. watch this. >> they are only existential threat is nuclear armed iran, houthis, hezbollah and hamas terrorists are never going to take down the state of israel. they can keep treating symptoms or go for the cause of the disease, islamic republic of iran. they were on their heels when attack of october 7 occurred and
5:17 am
the war against hamas led to public opinion against them. their take-out of leaders of both hamas and hezbollah and operation below the belt have given them renewed sense of potential for victory and i think the time is now, they can't wait for potential of harris administration that might be less friendly to israel. >> steve: jim said it is do-or-die time for the iranian nuclear program, they know, the iranians, it is in jeopardy, so need to use it now either use it or lose it is greatly increased. >> ainsley: we have to support israel, israel has done fantastic job taken out head of hamas and hezbollah and five top leaders of hamas and went into iran to kill top leader of hamas and then all of the younger military members under this
5:18 am
leader we just took out, nasrallah, they are blown up with pagers. israel is fighting back and doing a great job and we have to continue to support them, it is the promise land, those are the chosen people. >> lawrence: this is not only crisis we are dealing with and president of the united states is nowhere to be found. david marcus put it like this, southeast is under water, middle east on fire and ports closed, where is joe biden? >> ainsley: great question. three top stories, people that have houses under water down in southeast and middle east on fire and ports are closed, how does that affect restaurants and families? and workers want more money. >> steve: united states of america has no president right now, david writes. what we have is host of crisis-level situations at home
5:19 am
and abroad that are not being addressed. for months until donald trump or kamala harris is sworn in as president, our ship of state has no captains. in normal world joe biden would have stepped down and be free to lay on the beach in delaware all the live long day, which he does anyway. until january 20, all that we can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best. hope. >> ainsley: he's not wrong. >> lawrence: if joe biden is going to be absense, with the job he wanted, they forced him off the ticket, that kamala harris would lead, i take a firm instance on this issue and show leadership on the world stage and want elevation, promotion in my job, show leadership. the president is gone, kamala
