cabernet and all the reds are medium to full body. very affordable. $20 retail at your favorite store wherever you shop at. there is woodson whiskey. i have my hands in a little bit of everything. >> brian: ancient -- my arms are bigger than yours. there is no monitor there. i'm wearing a suit. >> all those pull-ups i did this morning. >> brian: just for the show. thank you, appreciate it. speak from the heart, 13 seconds. >> ainsley: let me see these guns. there you go. steve, great job in florida. i hope the restaurant survives. >> bill: hobby sound, florida. those folks having a great time. north of there in asheville,

north carolina, more than 200 are dead, hundreds listed as missing as we speak at this hour. helene's wrath relentless. a living nightmare for millions across the south. most deadly hurricane since katrina. we watch the devastating fallout. back on the job. striking dock workers reaching a tentative deal to open up u.s. ports. we got the jobs number for september. 254,000 jobs added. this after the fed cut rates by half a point. how does this all factor in now? we'll look at that as we begin. dana has the day off. i'm bill hemmer live in new york city. hello to you. >> good to be with you on a job day. can't wait to dig into that. i'm sandra smith and this is "america's newsroom." the tentative dock workers would

give them a 60% raise. that pushes the deadline past election day. >> bill: convenient. that and the jobs report are good for kamala harris. the economy is still seen as a liability in the election. >> it is human nature to attribute your current economic situation to the people in office for better or worse. and today american households are facing much higher prices than in overall -- wages haven't kept up. so, you know, in many ways the biden-harris administration, they get blamed for this but also contributed to it. >> sandra: the economy remains the top issue for voters. poll after poll shows former president donald trump is more trusted to fix it. >> bill: team fox coverage. we have analysis. mark meredith reports from the white house. olivia hu at the labor department with the new number.

how do you score the jobs number and what from it? >> good morning, bill and sandra. 254,000 jobs coming in, much hotter than the expected 140,000 jobs added in the month of september. this report is bucking the trend of what we've seen out of the labor department in terms of the labor market for this year. we've seen a cooling labor market which is what policymakers have tried to engineer as they are engineering a soft landing here. this report at 254,000 would ordinarily be a very positive report for the government and biden administration but it should raise questions about what the federal reserve president powell can do following this hotter than expected report? he is in a position trying to rein in inflation. a report should raise questions whether the fight on inflation is over. when you have more jobs added to the economy, that is going to stir spending. that is more money flowing

through the system and pushes upward pressure on prices, not good for the everyday american as we've heard so far. he has so far just a moment ago, bill, he had that jumbo rate cut in the last meeting of 50 basis points and wants another 50 basis points for the year. after this report there should be questions whether he will take a look and analyze the data and be data dependent and maybe rest on a 25 basis point cut or maybe conversation on whether or not we have any rate cut whatsoever. one final point about this jobs report is i think we should look at the quality of the jobs being added. we're seeing a lot of them added in the food services sector and government jobs. these are not really the types of jobs we want to be seen added to the economy. we want to see good-paying jobs. those are low wages. go to fox business for more analysis. >> sandra: i just checked out the latest from the fed watch

tool. it accurately predicted the last 50 basis point cut. right now the chances of that happening again because that was the anticipation, have now shrunk to a 12% chance that will happen. that is looking unlikely following this report. meanwhile, lydia, port workers strike is over. are the workers back to the job today? what happens next here? >> they were told to get back to the job. i've been keeping in touch with rank and file members. they've been instructed to get back to a job. not on the picket lines this morning. the port of new york and new jersey one container port is remaining closed for the day, not sure why. it seems that the picket lines and strike is over and expect them to return. as you laid out now 90 days to figure out the rest of their labor agreement. we're resting on a 62% wage hike over the next six years as their tentative agreement. plighting the difference. the union and employers were settling at before this agreement.

nowner they're have to look at the sticky issue, what do they do about automation? much more difficult. they have 90 days to do it. we'll see if we're back on the picket lines in january. i don't know. >> bill: a lot to analyze there. we'll get to it. lydia hu, labor department for us today. >> sandra: vice president harris failing to get another union endorsement. the group of firefighters backing biden in 2020. things are looking different this time. >> good morning to you. this is the second time that a major union which backed president biden in the last cycle has chosen not to endorse any candidate in this race. both trump and harris campaigns sought the support of the international association of firefighters. the iaff says it will sit this one out. the group putting out a statement late last night writing this decision that we

took very seriously is the best way to preserve and strengthen our unity. we encourage members and eligible voters to make their voices heard in the election. the teamsters union also chose not to endorse anyone in the race. this was interesting because the teamsters had also been meeting with both candidates and trying to get whatever they could out the door. "politico" writes this could be a sign of trouble for democrats. they write today the slights from the teamsters and a few other labor groups have harris supporters on edge since trump has succeeded in carve into the party's advantage with rank and file members. this morning we've learned the v.p. will soon campaign with former president obama rallying supporters together in pittsburgh. obama expected to hold more events for harris between now and election day. the vice president is in michigan today. the latest polls showing her with a slight lead but one also within the margin of error. still president biden said he has all the confidence that she will prove victorious in

november. >> [inaudible question] >> president biden: she ising to do fine. >> trump is in the south today making stops in north carolina and georgia. his visit notable as he is set to meet with georgia governor brian kemp, someone openly critical of in the past but eager to be meeting with and seen with. trump set to hold a major rally tomorrow. it will be in butler, pennsylvania. the same site as the shooting back in july. sandra. >> sandra: thank you. >> bill: mary kathryn hamm joins us on a friday. you heard mark's report about the firefighters union, teamsters union about a week ago. here is a moment with jeff flock on fox business on with maria yesterday morning at the port. i think it was in new jersey, i do believe. roll it. >> i wonder if they support kamala harris. >> i could ask that question. she wanted to know how many

folks support vice president harris. not any hands, no hands. >> wow. >> sandra: wow. >> bill: i don't know what to take from that. i don't think those guys knew that that question was coming. and no one wanted to step up and stand out, mary kathryn. >> yeah, you don't know what to make of that particular clip but you can look to the other data points, the teamsters and firefighters union. firefighters in particular are interesting because this is a male demographic, blue collar, often in urban centers and unionized. in 2020 they went with biden because he had union ced. union rank and file are moving toward republican voting. a fact for the last several

cycles. she is not bridging that gap. biden and harris were happy to side with the union boss in the longshoremen disagreement who is out there saying we'll cripple you in a time when people needs good to be moving not only for the cost of living but the devastation in north carolina and eastern tennessee. when you are standing with that most vocal person, maybe it doesn't go well for regular blue collar workers. maybe it doesn't sound great outside of that union and to other unions. i think it ain't great news for her for sure. i think the problem for the harris campaign is that they are arguing on this longshoremen disagreement, they are arguing that donald trump is chaos and that your cost of living is fine. in this case look, we had three days of stoppage. good they went back to work for her politically. however, there is still damage. costs will go up. you don't pause the economy for three days and nothing happens to the goods and prices. people will pay a price. there was some chaos and cuts

against both of their arguments. >> sandra: we're reporting that former president barack obama is expected to hit the campaign trail late next week for kamala harris. the first stop is thursday in pittsburgh. perhaps this is a sign of what we'll hear from him on the trail. rewind to the dnc and this is what he said about the years under trump. listen. >> we do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. we have seen that movie before and we all know that the sequel is usually worse. america is ready for a new chapter. america is ready for a better story. we are ready for the president kamala harris. >> sandra: you have to think it is an effort to boost favorability. the latest on that out of our fox news polling september 13th to 16th mary, shows her with a

49% favorable, 51% unfavorable rating. mary kathryn. >> former president obama is a great speaker but kamala harris is the sequel to the current administration. she is serving in the current administration. she is the chapter we're on. she cannot turn the page in the way that obama, although effectively speaking, is saying that she can. i think that's what voters, including these labor union members, are saying. they are seeing that. they are seeing you are not telling me how you will be anything different. you rarely talk. we don't know much about you. i don't feel like i can trust you. i lived four years under trump and four years under biden-harris and the trump years felt better to a lot of people. their rhetoric is running up against reality and a contest between the two. >> bill: she took one question all week, i think. maybe a podcast i missed. one thing about pennsylvania. we're watching on election night. you can understand how union workers in pennsylvania and

energy workers in pennsylvania could go for blue collar joe biden but we'll see whether or not they can go for kamala harris out of california. thanks for coming on, mary kathryn. we'll talk again next week. good analysis, thank you. >> dana: tomorrow former president trump as you heard from mark meredith is set to hold a rally in butler, pennsylvania. the secret service says it has been working to make sure the site is secure. pennsylvania congressman mike kelly says it has been totally revamped. >> lawrence, when you look at it now. i was there yesterday looking at how much different it is now the way it is protected as it wasn't protected on july 13th. there is an envelope around there. no longer two command center. one command center. the ability to use frequencies that make sense and communicate. totally different than july 13th. >> sandra: the former president will be joined by elon musk.

>> bill: that will be must see tv. there is a measure of drama that will be captivated in this appearance in butler, pennsylvania tomorrow. we'll all relive the memories on july 13th. >> sandra: a show of strength of the secret service. >> bill: we have this. huge story, folks. everyday americans risking their own lives to save their neighbors stranded in the aftermath of hurricane helene. we'll talk to some extraordinary heroes who are pitching in by the day. you will meet them coming up next. >> sandra: israel extending evacuation orders in lebanon as the scope of its ground operation appears to be widening. >> bill: venezuelan gang tightening its grip on chicago. what's happening there? fox news talked to people say the threat in violence grows in that city by the day.

>> bill: see that right there? that's a moments of joy amid the horror of helene, a premature baby saved by a team of volunteers who came from all around. one of the lives they've saved from hurricane helene's wrath and now here to share the story about that and what else they are seeing on the ground. say hello to mark, screen left, a pilot. helicopter, john howard is there. charlie and zeb and good morning to all of you. some of you from north carolina, some from florida. kudos to all of you for what you are trying to get done down

there. zeb, you were the one who saved an 11 day old baby and an 87-year-old mother. what happened there? >> it was all of us. first big rescue mission, there were several. it started with the baby. it was a call that we got, a stress message from save our allies. so we took that call between charlie and john, their teams. >> i reached out to my state team on the ground. didn't know the exact location. my paramedic paul was actually a few minutes away from there and able to rush over there and stabilize the baby to get ready for life flight while the rest of the team sent us images. that way mark could put the helicopter down. charlie was doing the coordinating. we grabbed that baby, mom and grandma through them in the helicopter and mark flew us to the asheville airport avant

doctors and nurses were there on stand by to save the baby's life. i got confirmation today and charles in contact with the mom. they were sending us photos and pictures and videos of the baby. it is good, healthy, and it has been on our minds. the baby is healthy. >> bill: it is an awesome story. let me stick with you for a moment. looking at the social media posts. you said you are looking for reflections on the ground as you are flying in helicopters trying to spot people with s.o.s. written on the ground. remarkable stuff. you are ticked off. you don't see the support down there on behalf of the government. tell me what you experienced. what is your story? >> we're looking for s.o.s. carved in mud how we found the 87-year-old woman out of oxygen. weak leadership in north carolina from the federal government. it takes my strong leadership in florida. if it wasn't for florida sending us up there that wouldn't have

happened. no support and leadership here. when we meet locals on the ground. you are from the state? from florida. where is north carolina they ask. they ask where their leadership is. no understanding what's going on. we've had people officials here try to kick us out. nonsense stuff. asking me for authorizations to be here. the most insane thing you would ever see. like they want these people to die in the mountains. >> bill: there has to be some order. i understand that. i want to applaud you guys for what you are doing. a lot more people like you up there. charlie, you run aerial recovery and what brought you guys together. what is aerial recovery? >> it is a national-based nonprofit focusing on anti-human trafficking. we respond to disasters because a lot of people don't realize when there is a natural disaster or manmade disaster human traffickers show up. you have people thousands of people missing. what is five more? that's the attitude of the

traffickers. they'll come up and come to shelters and homes. so that's one thing we look out for while we're here. we also have several trained disaster response technicians on our team. >> bill: well done. mark, you are flying the helicopter. what do you see down there? >> seeing devastation like you've never seen. people trapped, roads are demolished. no way in and out. the only lifeline to us, no communication. the only lifeline is us coming in there either flying the sick out or either us taking in supplies. so it's just a lot. i've never seen devastation like this. >> bill: i'm sure. zeb, how do we dig ourselves out of this? >> it will be a long recovery. >> bill: will it get worse before we really turn the corner? >> i think -- we're seeing a shift. we came out here on our own looking to save lives.

and so that phase is primarily over unless there are more mudslides. now we're checking on people. making sure people that are cut off from the world have the supplies they need and making sure they get what they need. right now the biggest thing we see that is a need is star links. we need out of the box that can run so these people if remote valleys can communicate with neighbors. pregnant women, sick men, people that need to be in communication. some of these people don't want to leave. they're a proud people here, rightly so and we need to be good stewards of the country to get what they need to live the way they want to live. >> bill: with the reporters down there we have listened to them all week. the folks there feel like america forgot about them. we don't want that to be the case. star link. i know musk shipped 150 units earlier in the week. if you are saying they need more. >> we need 500. >> bill: i worked with star link. it is a remarkable product and

if you are saying 500 is needed? why is that, because of the mountains? >> we're not even talking about putting them in the hands of individuals. i wish we had a map but there are hundreds of ems stations, emt stations and fire departments still standing and running on generators. they don't have any access to the outside world. if we can provide each of little communities with star link they can talk to each other and that's what is needed now and the road forward. outside of that is really just the cleanup and the search for unfortunately what is probably the remains of human beings that didn't make it through this tragic event. >> they will have to have -- the generators won't last forever. they need fuel. we spent 20 years in afghanistan similar to where we are at right now mountainous terrain. we have a lot of experience moving resources. no swing load operations are

happening here. it is 20-one ratio. >> bill: i got to get this question in because we're out of time. charlie, for people watching this. how can we help? >> we've got a fundraiser set up on instagram aerial recovery group in the bio section. all funds go to disaster recovery efforts. >> bill: i'm seeing 1,000 soldiers out of north carolina to be deployed. it took a week. don't know why it took that long. thank you for being here. we'll stay in touch with you zeb and john and charlie and mark. you guys are friends for life now. thanks for being there. >> thank you. >> yes, sir, thank you. >> bill: good luck. >> sandra: incredible men there and thanks to all of them for what they are doing. in another heroic move a nascar driver is teaming up. he spoke on jesse watters prime time last night. listen here. >> i've got -- it started out

the first day with two helicopters. the next with eight. by the end of the day 25 and now probably 50 or 60 helicopters turning and burning missions. people are bringing supplies to the hickory statesville airport that we're getting coordinates of the helicopter lands the whole hanger is full of 75, 100 people volunteering. amazon trucks are showing up of people buying supplies and shipping them to the airport. it is pretty incredible response. >> sandra: that was an incredible interview. he was even able, he said, to save a couple who was caught his eye. what they did was they held up a mirror to the sky to get his attention. you can see how it was effective here and thank gosh they did and thank gosh he was there to help. >> bill: you can see it in the open field. we saw this video the other day, sandra and didn't get permission to run it yet. now we do.

we want to share this with our viewers realtime. >> my car is gone. >> it's okay. >> everything is gone. it's all gone. >> it's a kay. >> are your parents okay? >> it's okay. >> bill: we don't know who these people are. a man and woman from their voices, their car. his car he is talking about. you hear the woman say i'm okay, i'm okay. we're okay. we've been trying to share that with you. i think it really is -- rerack it a little. wait a minute. wait a minute. what you see at the top of that cliff, smitty, is an avalanche of grass, dirt, mud and water going right for that home.

remarkable stuff. we want to make sure it got out here. >> we're glad they're okay. >> bill: what's next? >> sandra: israel carrying out a series of massive air strikes overnight as the situation in the middle east is spiraling out of control. police departments around the nation now using a.i. to write their reports. but no technology as we know is perfect. could a.i. now impact your civil liberties? with wegovy®, i lost 35 pounds. and some lost over 46 pounds. ♪ ♪ and i'm keeping the weight off. wegovy® helps you lose weight and keep it off. i'm reducing my risk. wegovy® is the only fda-approved weight-management medicine that's proven to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events

a series of israeli air strikes overnight some pounding the beirut and south -- the neighborhood is south beirut. israeli officials expanding evacuation messages. nate foye with the latest. where do we stand? >> good morning. israeli air strikes and limited ground offensive continued today. we're still waiting on israel to respond to iran's massive ballistic missile strike on tuesday. this morning we heard from the other side with iran supreme leader speaking before thousands in tehran during a rare friday sermon. look at this video. he said several notable things. among them calling on all muslim nations to unite against israel calling that ballistic missile attack legal and legitimate and he even defended hamas's atrocities october 7th. >> the storm operation that took place last year around the same days as now was an international

right, logical, legal and palestine had the right. >> one year anniversary of october 7th coming up on monday, bill. hours before that speech israeli air strike killed a hamas commander in the west book and the foreign minister in beirut landed hours after this explosion in the airport meeting with several lebanese leaders today and said if israel responds to tuesday's attack, iran will retaliate with an even stronger attack. meanwhile israel's limited ground offensive continues in southern lebanon. the idf is showing off these weapons they say hezbollah left behind while the iron dome stays busy in the north. hezbollah launched more than 230 rockets and projectiles over the past day. israeli air strikes as you mentioned continue, bill, overnight reportedly targeting a possible successor to nasrallah in beirut. also this morning announcing

they had hit a tunnel network on the lebanon, syria border that hezbollah uses to receive weapons from iran. >> bill: nate, nice to talk to you, nate foye live in tel aviv with the latest. >> sandra: the more on the situation spiraling out of control let's bring in a former israeli ambassador to the u.s. what are the coming days looking like here? >> one issue with the question posed by the reporter to president biden and his response. whether we can avert an all-out regional war in the middle east? we're in that war since october 7th being fired at by proxy on iran and iran itself. it is a war. in that war israel has to take every measure possible to defend itself. the most justified war going and it is very personal. i have kids, grandkids sitting in bomb shelters. that terrorist attack down the street the other day was on my block. new people who were killed in

that. this is intensely personal. we'll take every measure that is justified to defend ourselves. >> bill: here is donald trump with bill melugin on the trail yesterday after joe biden said a few things about oil facilities and nuclear sites. watch. >> biden says that israel should not target iranian nuke facilities. what are your thoughts on that? what should israel respond? >> that's the crazeest thing i've ever heard. the biggest risk we have is nuclear. to make the statement please leave their nuclear alone? i would tell you that it's not the right answer because you know what? soon they'll have nuclear weapons and then you'll have problems. >> bill: what do you think of that answer? >> it was an odd thing for the united states president to defend the nuclear facilities. they want to destroy our country. they tried to hit our nuclear facility. if it was hit it would have been an event of mass death. think about this. and to not respond to that is --

would be unthinkable. so very strange for the president of the united states to be defending iran's nuclear program which the president himself he said he swore to stop iran from getting the nuclear weapon and for israel to act proportionately. all right they've fired 25,000 missiles and rockets at us. would it be okay for israel to fire 25,000 missiles and rockets at iran? that's proportionate. >> sandra: what's at stake with the upcoming presidential election in the united states with two very different views of what is happening and what should happen? >> i can understand the politics of it not wanting to see the united states getting involved in a regional war now. this is a war for our national survival. it is not keeping pace with american electoral calendar what can we do? neither is iran. i understand it was also talking about hitting the oil facility would cause an immediate spike

in oil prices in this country and won't play very well. >> bill: curious you talk about this stuff publicly. we'll see what happens. we'll speak with you next week. go to chicago now. >> pulling our car doors seeing if we left our car doors unlocked. if we have they're going through people's cars and taking stuff out of their cars. so it's a lot that's going on that is not being reported. >> bill: folks in chicago telling fox news that gang out of venezuela, members are settling into their neighborhoods. is the windy city ready to address a growing crisis there? the economy center stage for both candidates today. how is the ending of the port strike for now and the jobs report impacting their message. we'll go to the trail and find out together. ut it's pr and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browsel but it blocks cookies

>> sandra: chicago residents growing more concerned about the infiltration of the gang tren de aragua. among them current and former gang members worry a gang war is on the horizon. this chaotic situation. what are you hearing, garrett? >> we've seen this play out in countries across south america. tren de aragua or tda moves in, grows its presence and brutally takes out rival gangs in order to take over. that has a lot of folks here worried about what could come next including the gang members themselves. we went out to some of chicago's most violent neighborhoods to meet with current and former gang members who tell us that tda first showed up when the city opened up migrant shelters in these areas and now the venezuelans are trying to move in on territories controlled by the city's black gangs setting

up their own operations and actively recruiting kids and teens in the neighborhood. >> only the matter of time before things escalate because they are moving into our neighborhood. different areas, different guys, different so-called organizations or gangs and they moving in on the blocks and trying to emulate them or doing the same thing they are doing. >> that growing frustration extends beyond gang members. folks in the community tell us the crime issues they are dealing with have only gotten worse since the venezuelans and tda moved in. at this point, violence has not broken out between the gangs but we're told tensions are simmering and that one wrong move by the venezuelans could potentially lead to an all-out gang war. >> as far as the news media trying to sensationalize something like that. it would be a bloodbath. they wouldn't have to. >> and everyone who lives in

these areas would be caught up in that bloodbath. folks we spoke to said given how deeply rooted chicago's gang culture is going all the way back to al capone tda will have a much more difficult time moving in and completely taking over here than they will in other cities in america. sandra. >> sandra: unbelievable. garrett, thank you. >> bill: so the september jobs report is out as of 90 minutes ago. came in hotter than expected. high number, 254,000 jobs added. unemployment ticked down to 1.4%. the chief market strategist and president of mtb capital with us here. before we get to trump and harris making their pitch this week what do you make about the numbers? >> i thought there would be more red flags and a communist pair parade in that report. we had a wise dispersion of what the expectations were. we got 254.

there is not one data point in here that i can point to that is not good. 150,000 people come into the labor force, 430,000 jobs added. some of those in areas catch-up sectors from covid. so healthcare, education, and then the one thing that really stands out to me is wage growth. slightly accelerated. this is key for the fed. if inflation is still stubborn you need to make sure employees and everyday americans can afford and absorb the price hikes. >> bill: donald trump in michigan yesterday. >> starting on day one of my new administration we'll end inflation and make america affordable again. it is not affordable. [cheers and applause] they kill you. they killed you with their spending, a combination of spending and their stupid energy policies. >> bill: your take on that. >> energy is key now especially with the escalating tensions in the mideast. oil, people will say it makes 8%

of cpi but indirectly involved with every good and service that we use. oil is key to bringing down inflation. trump is the only candidate that would have energy independence in america. no questions about it. kamala can flip-flop whether she is for fracking or not but she will be anti-energy and it will be inflationary. >> sandra: her pitch to create this opportunity economy. >> a lot of my work in terms of building and growing the economy has focused on small businesses. and my vision overall is we need to build an opportunity economy in which we increase opportunity for all, including small business owner. >> sandra: she said it in almost every interview she has done. the few she has. the opportunity economy. she is being challenged with the notion she is in the white house. why is this not happening now? >> why haven't you done it already. sounds like a great sound bite

but learn from my grandmother said watch what they do, not what they say. she hasn't created any opportunity. the policies eliminate opportunity. you want to give small businesses a chance? reduce the regulatory burden. you want to give businesses overall a chance? reduce taxes, not more. especially at a time when you have an administration collecting record tax revenues and spending out of control. >> bill: when asked whether or not trump or harris is better on the economy. here is what you have. up five, seven, 11, nine. 13. >> i think those are understated. >> bill: understated? >> in terms of how they are skewed towards trump. what experience does harris have? she can't point to anything she has done to suggest she will have a big strong impact on the economy. trump has to avoid saying this is the anticipation of me winning the white house. look at my past track record and

compare that to weekend at bernie's and weekend at biden's where no one is there minding the white house. >> sandra: and promising free stuff. she did that on the debate stage. >> this is buying votes. a popularity contest at best but you have to look at the policies. we live with the repercussions of this. >> bill: 32 days. >> sandra: fox news alert to this scene. helene survivors outraged as the federal government budgets millions to migrants while fema is strapped. how they are coping with this storm coming up. fox news speaking to the taiwanese ambassador to the u.s. why they're watching the presidential election here so closely next. >> u.s. election has far more repercussions than just u.s. domestic issues. it affects the whole world.

>> who would taiwan rather see in the white house, trump or harris? >> that's a question i get a lot. >> bill: that's a ambassador, taiwan's representative to the united states. fox news's aishah hosni spoke with him exclusively on a story that fell off the radar. what did he tell you? good morning. >> good morning to you. taiwan as you know does not want to weigh in on the u.s. election but they are watching it very closely. whoever wins this november will be the commander-in-chief if china invades by 2027. that's the number out there right now. ambassador tells fox former president trump is right in that china's aggression has increased since he left office but stopped short of blaming the biden-harris administration for that.

>> xi has been emboldened because he wants to realize what he calls his china dream. it is not about which administration is in the united states but rather -- rather what are the thoughts of xi jinping? >> he pushed back on secretary of state blinken insisting in the last couple of days here that there is no access being formed between china, russia, iran and north korea. >> they are working together that's for sure. whether an axis, alliance, it is up to anyone to define it but there are signs they are working together. >> the ambassador acknowledged americans are divided over these foreign wars. israel and ukraine. the billions going abroad. he says the taiwanese people are ready and willing to fight if china invades. bottom line, bill, he is saying he is hoping whoever wins the white house in november continues their strong partnership with taiwan because they need that.
