it is worse for me now. i never know when it is going to happen and it is driving me crazy. every night i stay up thinking he might come in. now some 30 members of the extended menendez family have come together to support their brothers among them the sister of kitty menendez, the boy's mother. >> it was a nightmare none of us could have imagined. but as details of lyle and eric's abuse came to light it became clear that their actions, while tragic, were the desperate response of two boys trying to survive the unspeakable cruel of their father. >> the final decision on whether to free the menendez brothers will be up to a judge. he set a hearing for november 29th bill. >> bill: we'll follow it and see what comes of it. intriguing. thank you. >> dana: fox news alert frpt israel's military is looking

into whether hama's leader sinwar was killed in a military operation in gaza. i'm dana perino. this felt like ten minutes, the first hour. >> bill: could be significant news. i'm bill hemmer. sinwar could be public enemy number one for israel. probably is given the events of a year ago. he planned the terror attacks of october 7, 2023. the most deadly day for the jewish people since the holocaust. trey yengst is live in haifa, northern israel with what he is learning at the moment. we'll try to fill in the blank as we go. what do you have at this moment now? >> bill and dana, good morning. speaking with israeli officials over the past hour working to confirm whether or not the leader of hamas, sinwar, was killed during israeli operations in southern gaza earlier today. all information that we have at this point does point to the fact he was killed but we have to wait for the dna evidence to

come back and the israelis to confirm on the record that it took place. if it is confirmed it would be one of the most significant moments in the war. i can tell you having met with everyone from israel's prime minister to defense minister and everyone below, this has been target number one for the israelis not just since october 7th but even before. remember, sinwar is one of the three masterminds behind the october 7th massacre. he along with two others planned the attack that killed 1200 israelis on october 7th last year. they had been going after him ever since. reports indicated he was hiding among hostages. israeli media says that today the person they are testing to see if it is indeed sinwar was killed in the southern city of rafah above ground engaging israeli forces. again, this is all preliminary information. we're talking about sinwar, the

leader of hamas, the man who planned the october 7th massacre and someone who has been conducting attacks against israel since the late 80s. someone who served 22 years in an israeli prison and was released back in 2011. bill and dana. >> dana: trey, do you know how long it might take for them to identify? >> it could be just a matter of minutes before we get the confirmation. part of the reason i'm checking my phone here. i'm talking with senior defense officials going back and forth. they say they do believe that sinwar was killed but they do not want to confirm on the record until they get the dna evidence back. this is incredibly significant. when we talked with israeli officials over the past year, they talked about sinwar as the top official they wanted to kill in hamas leadership. i want to take you back to a meeting i had with israel's defense minister. in his office he had a chart with all the top hamas

leadership and when they were killed by the israelis he would take a sharpie and put an x over their face. every time i met with him in his office in tel aviv in their version of the pentagon you could see sinwar's photo at the top of the chart. he said we will hunt him down. talking about the leader of hamas. today the israelis believe they have killed but waiting for dna evidence to come back. >> bill: two news out lets based on officials they say he is dead but we'll wait for more on that. you were talking about rafah, the border town in the gaza strip with egypt and you were saying above ground. can you clarify what you were reporting there? >> absolutely. so the initial reports indicate that the person killed was killed above ground and sinwar is someone who we know had used hamas's tunnel network beneath gaza since october 7th.

some of the hostages that were released as part of the november cease-fire deal held for 50 days said they met sinwar in the tunnels beneath gaza. the tunnels allowed leadership to move back and forth along the gaza strip. the israelis have destroyed many tunnels. we've entered some of them. months ago the israelis released video that showed him going through the tunnels. this sits on the egyptian border. the philadelphia corridor is inside rafah. for so long the israelis have been trying to control this area to insure none of the leadership escaped gaza and no more weapons could flow into the strip. it had been used for smuggling of rockets and arms and ammunition that hamas used as part of the october 7th massacre. one of the people who would

cross that border between gaza and egypt in the past was sinwar, back in 2017 had actually met soleimani, the iranian general killed by an american drone strike ordered by president trump in 2020. i give you all this information. i want you to put it together and link together the story of how significant it is, if confirmed by israeli officials, that sinwar was killed. we should talk about sinwar's background. someone who spent 22 years in an israeli prison back in 1989. he was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences for planning to abduct and kill israeli soldiers. he was in a prison and interviewed saying he found it a blessing because he could plan more operations against the israelis from behind bars. he was released back in 2011 for a soldier who was kidnapped into gaza in 2006 and ultimately released five years later as

part of a prisoner swap deal. interestingly enough, we're talking about in 2011. 13 years ago. on october 18th, '13 years to the day the prisoner swap took place and 1026 palestinian prisoners were released for one israeli soldier. the top of that chart was sinwar. and he immediately went back to gaza, took on the role of what you could compare to a defense minister for the military wing of hamas and later promoted to the leader of hamas inside gaza where he served alongside the shadow leader of the iran-backed group and a man killed over the summer in tehran. if he is dead and it is confirmed the idf has taken out all three of the masterminds behind the october 7th massacre. >> bill: let you get back to work. thank you for the reporting in

haifa, israel. there are talking about members of the security cabinet have been informed that indeed it is true. we'll bring you back more as soon as you get more from the post in northern israel. thank you on the breaking news in the middle east. >> dana: thank you, trey. >> how many illegal immigrants would you estimate, your administration has released into the country over the last 3 1/2 years? do you think it's 1 million, 3 million? >> let's just get to the point, okay? the point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired. >> dana: vice president harris shifting blame for the border crisis during last night's interview on cross dancing around a series of direct questions of the immigration record and border policies. griff jenkins has been at the border many times. >> things got heated right out of the gate.

a pointed moment came when bret made harris comment directly from the words of a mother whose daughter was killed by migrants. >> that's the early days. so do you owe them an apology is what i'm saying? >> i will tell you i'm so sorry for her loss. i'm so sorry for her loss. sincerely. but let's talk about what is happening right now with an individual who does not want to participate in solutions. let's talk about that as well. >> fox news latest poll regarding immigration is the second most important issue. when bret asked harris if she regretted terminating the remain in mexico policy she talked about >> within hours of taking the

oath, the first bill that we offered congress, before we worked on infrastructure, before the inflation reduction act >> you had the white house and the house and the senate and they didn't bring up that bill. >> i'm responding to the point you are raising. our focus has been on fixing a problem. >> this comes as new video from texas dps shows things are heating back up. this group of more than 200 crossing near eagle pass, texas, 57 unaccompanied children in this group. they're watching another caravan of migrants believed to be possibly in the thousands setting out from southern mexico this week. >> dana: thank you so much. here is a little more. >> so you are not joe biden or donald trump but nothing comes to mind that you would do differently? >> let me be very clear. my presidency will not be a continuation of joe biden's presidency. >> dana: vice president harris gets a third chance to say how

she would govern differently from president biden. not a real definitive answer. we have our panel here. thank you. is it -- i have the sense she is an extremely loyal person to biden. what bad would happen to her if she said something she would do differently than the biden administration? why can't she say it. >> it is all up side. you can connect the dots from i am wildly proud of these three accomplishments and this is how i'm going further. case in point. that medicare proposal for in home care for aging and dying parents is testing off the charts. >> dana: completely illogical off the charts. >> you are trying to move voters and showing you are different. trying to talk about something that people are dealing with. that proposal hits all of those

targets. she should go to that. but what i did think about the interview was first and foremost showing up matters. the harris campaign is digging in on he is unstable, erratic, unfit and hiding from the tough stuff. he is hiding from bret baier but i'll sit down with him and she came off as confident. the image of her as a cackling moron was nowhere to be seen in that interview. she was in control of herself. she took a moment when she needed it. give me a second to finish that and she came out -- if there are undecideds out there watching our channel and saw a strong person. >> bill: how did you score it? >> it was a net failure on its own terms. not the catastrophic disaster but critics are painting it as but the terms. kamala harris campaign spokesman said to reach out to

independents and haley voting republicans. what did she give those independents and haley voting republicans? nothing. her answers haven't evolved over the course of this campaign what she knew about joe biden's senility and when and how she approached immigration reform or answers on iran she said it is one of our biggest threats and pivoted to saying donald trump got out of the iran deal. saying we have to increase pressure and then attacking trump out of a deal. the notion here that she was attempting to appeal to these voters to give them reason to assuage the concerns that she is really a progressive and disguise of a born again moderate was the goal and didn't achieve that. going into the lions den she will get credit for that. getting her back up a little bit. that was the prosecutor they liked when they saw it on the

debate stage. >> dana: whoever your candidate is you want to defend them from any sort of slight. it is interesting to read the commentary of people on the left and the right. people saw in the interview whatever they wanted to see and i wanted to ask you also about this. new fox news polls that came out last night. fox has trump at 50, harris 458 48 nationally among likely voters. top issues motivating people to vote for harris, disliking trump 17%, protecting democracy, 14%, abortion 14%. what would you say she should do in the next 19 days to try to motivate? >> i think more of these types of interviews and more like the rally she was doing yesterday with 100 republicans that are supporting her candidacy. a reliable voting base of people who have historically voted for the other guy or the other gallon the other side of the ticket are these republicans that are pro-democracy voters,

liz cheneys of the world who will show up. donald trump is relying on low propensity voters and kamala harris is relying on high propensity voters but don't want to be in the fold with democrat but will turn out. we had trump up two nationally. kamala harris up six in the battlegrounds. trump may be banking vote in places that doesn't matter. if "the new york times" poll is correct and wins florida by ten, i don't care. i want to win michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. i think that's very good news. >> bill: you are starting to sound like a republican. >> what can you do? >> on the terms of the mechanics, that's correct. but if her appeal is to these persuadeable voters in the middle what she is doing in this performance is really appealing to progressive activist types where she leans into some performance aspects that they really appreciate like shutting

down a conversation and saying i'm speaking. don't speak over me asserting authorities but you do that when you have something to say. she is not saying anything in that moment. she is not answering the actual question. voters do have concerns about the economy, border and inflation and meandering your way through it saying i won't be joe biden because i exist in a different form where as that is not a satisfying answer. you have to provide specifics. those voters care about policy issues. i don't think she is speaking to them. >> dana: thank you both. >> bill: we -- 5:00, right? be there, be square. we have a potential turning point in the middle east. israel is working to confirm whether or not it killed the leader of hamas in gaza. we'll bring you the latest. trey yengst is working the story and we'll get to him coming up. >> dana: a blistering report on first assassination attempt against former president trump. what an independent panel is

>> bill: watching with a could be a significant development with war in the middle east. there are reports that sinwar, the leader and mastermind of the attacks on october '71 year ago has been killed. reports unconfirmed by those of us at fox news channel. trey yengst working his sources and he has many throughout the entire middle east. >> dana: all the sources. >> bill: we'll get you an update. there could be fingerprints or dna and we'll wait for official word from the israeli officials if and when that happens. stand by momentarily. back to the middle east. also breaking this morning a new report now public on the first

attempted assassination of donald trump in butler, pennsylvania, a bipartisan panel of four people. they are blaming the secret service for failed communication, for not securing the building, and for many other things. alexandria hoff is live in d.c. as she runs through the report now. alex, good morning. >> good morning. this report is truly scathing. it recommends a complete overhaul of secret service leadership writing that secret service has been bogged down by bureaucracies and critical thinking skills by secret service personnel. the panel's work identified a number of specific failures and breakdowns enabling the assassination attempt on july 13th and various deeper concerns. taken together the issues reveal deep flaws in the secret service including some that appear to be systemic or cultural. review panel was made up of four members all former law enforcement appointed by the department of homeland security and found specific failures

present to be communication between the secret service and local police. a barrier. failed to secure vulnerable locations and failed to make contact with the suspect even though he had been spotted climbing onto the roof of a nearby building 90 minutes before opening fire on former president. alejandro mayorkas issued a statement writing i reviewed the independent review panel's report and met with panel members and fully consider the panel's recommendations and taking actions needed to advance the secret service's protection mission. after appearing before congress and struggling to satisfy answers about the attack former secret service director cheatle stepped down and replaced by ronald rowe. they conducted their actions and the conclusions were similar to this report. the independent review was wider examining culture as well. >> bill: see if we get some

changes. thanks, dana. >> dana: former secret service agent. does it ring true to you, patrick sullivan? >> yes, it does. there were systemic failures in butler during the attempted assassination of president trump. >> dana: there is part of the story is call for two saying the panel believes the service may have a deeper issue related to culture and practice regarding individual agents willingness to speak up concerning potential threats. the apparent pervasiveness. this seems like a really big problem and the secret service director resigned and you have alejandro mayorkas head of the department of homeland security. does this report go straight to him in terms of who to blame and how to fix? >> well, since the secret service has been put under dhs there has been some issues, i'll

say. under treasury the secret service was the premier law enforcement agency and under dhs it is a little buried. i believe the men and women of the secret service are extremely dedicated and thought they would speak up if they thought there was a threat to anyone they were protecting. >> dana: many of the issues the panel has identified throughout the report, particularly regarding the panel's deeper concerns, are attributable to the secret service culture. refreshment of leadership with new perspective. a refreshment, new leadership and new perspectives. can that happen under the current structure where secret service is under department of homeland security or do you think it should be moved out and become independent? >> i think the best solution is an independent secret service

but i would stress that the director of the secret service must have someone with secret service experience. the head of the marine corp. it would be terrible -- it doesn't have to be an activation. a retired or former agent. whoever leads the agency has to have that experience themselves to lead the men and women of the agency appropriately in my opinion. >> dana: what do you think are the consequences of all of this in terms of retention of secret service agents currently there and even recruitment? >> well, secret service is a premier law enforcement agency and i believe men and women who are applying are probably still the best and brightest. i would point out one thing that i mentioned in my testimony to congress last month. the current statutes have to be amended. the secret service surprisingly -- no agency is required to tell the secret service about threats to the president.

they are not the lead agency in every investigation concerning a threat. i believe they should be the lead agency. any threat the f.b.i. has, dea, intelligence community should be given to the secret service and they should determine what action should be taken. and the secret service should not be a passive recipient of someone else's investigation. >> dana: you served ably and with honor and i'm sure it hurts everybody who served in the service to see what this panel is coming up with. but now that we have this report, maybe things will start to get better. thank you for coming on. we'll stay in touch. >> thank you, dana. >> bill: with regard to israel's war with hamas, this could be a significant development from the middle east. the idf investigating right now whether or not the leader of hamas is dead. there are many reports suggesting this is true. we, however, have not yet confirmed it and waiting for greater identification of a body in rafah, in southern gaza right on the border with egypt.

stand by for more and we'll have it for you after this.

your medicare matchmaker. >> dana: fox news alert. it could be one of the biggest setbacks yet for hamas. the israeli is investigating if they killed sinwar. he orchestrated the october 7th attack triggering the war in gaza. fox news contributor dan hoffman, former c.i.a. chief of station. we're waiting on final confirmation. we don't have that ourselves. some are saying it is true. it is pretty remarkable that israel has been able to do all of this even while the biden-harris administration has been asking them to tap the brakes. >> well, they aren't tapping the brakes. they've decimated hezbollah's leadership as well as hamas's leadership. if they indeed killed sinwar, they have eliminated the three masterminds of the october 7th terrorist attack. that's an intelligence success

for which the idf should be proud. we're still waiting for the battle damage assessment to confirm that sinwar is dead and then there will be questions about succession planning. who will take his place? whether this might be an off ramp for some sort of cease-fire that the biden administration wants? i don't believe hamas will stop fighting, however. i think israel is certainly prepared to carry on fight against the terrorists. >> bill: you elevate the next leader and the war continues? >> well, i'm sorry to say i've seen that a lot over the decades i spent at c.i.a. we would remove is senior al qaeda or isis leader and they would carry on fighting. they know they're at risk and need a success plan and will carry on the fighting and continue to conduct terrorist attacks. i will say that israel has damaged iran's credibility here. iran has been unable to defend their proxies or deter israel

from launching these decapitation strikes against iranian proxies. that potentially drives a wedge between iran and their proxies. but i fully expect hamas to carry on the fighting and that's what israel has to be prepared for. >> dana: what is your opinion about israel also preparing possibly to strike inside iran? >> yeah, iran has now struck israel twice. most recently on october 1st with 108 ballistic missiles. israel needs to respond. they have essentially four baskets of targets from which they can choose. iran's leadership, their military, as well as the nuclear program and energy infrastructure. the biden administration has asked israel the lay out the nuclear and energy infrastructure. netanyahu said israel will decide what's in their best

interest. they will respond significantly and likely with targets chosen to begin with iran's military targets. i don't think that israel is taking anything off the table here. iran is very weak now compared to before israel launched these counter attacks against hezbollah and hamas. iran enjoyed strategic depth through their proxies and israel has taken that away. >> bill: they have used the proxies to live and die as they wish for decades now. iranians paid very little price for that. to dana's question, if that were to happen in the near term, what would iran do? >> well, iran doesn't want to get into a conventional war just against israel let alone one in which the united states might join. israel would overpower iran. they have very limited air capability. their military is not reliable. again they have relied on their proxies to inflict harm on israel and the rest of the region and the united states i might emphasize as well. so iran, i think, is looking to

show that they can defend themselves. that's why they launched those strikes on israel but have no interest in a conventional war that they would lose and would risk toppling their regime. >> bill: if i could quickly, dan, just come back to sinwar for a moment in gaza. hamas has led those people for 18 years. and they had a lot of support in gaza. not everyone. i just don't know if we have a fair reading on behalf of the people who live in gaza who have been subjected to their rule whether or not this might be something they consider to be a victory for them. i know it's contrarian. is that a possibility? >> i think it is a possibility. i think the palestinians in gaza are very upset with hamas. hamas deliberately embeds themselves with civilian which results when israel targets hamas innocent civilians are killed. look, i think that's true of iran's other proxies, hezbollah,

lebanese don't want iran arming hezbollah and destroying their country, either. what the united states needs is a strategy designed to break iran's death grip on these countries, yemen, lebanon, iraq as well as gaza. if we can break iran's support to the proxies and the supply of munitions and financial support to those terrorist proxies, then those people have a chance. and there is a chance for some post conflict reconstruction where there could be peace in the middle east. it starts with breaking iran's control over the proxies. we haven't done that. >> dana: dan hoffman, thank you for being on the show today. >> bill: we'll get back to the middle east in a moment. the v.p. playing the blame game on scenes like this the border. this is what she said to bret in this exclusive interview from here on the fox news channel. >> they need more resources, congress ultimately is the only place it will get fixed, bret. that's how the system works.

indeed dead from an air strike. we're waiting to confirm that and as soon as we do we'll bring it to you live. >> you said repeatedly the border was secure. when in your mind did it start becoming a crisis? >> i think -- we've had a broken immigration system even before trump. let's be honest about that. i have no pride in saying that this is a perfect immigration system. i've been clear. i think we all are. it needs to be fixed. >> bill: immigration clearly a lead topic last night and pointed the finger consistently at donald trump. the former president. the trump campaign now leaning into its plans to protect the border which is a top concern for voters. shows up in all the surveys. row sanna is the coast of new day new york and a new show drops today called the underground economy. living and working in new york. you see the migrants in the streets. you see the migrants in the

camps. >> she dodged some of the questions but bret held her feet to the fire. things got worse under the biden administration. even today in the "new york times" they said the biden administration had a welcoming approach to migrants. in fact, the amount of migrants that came in under the last three years was three times the amount of what came in when donald trump was president. >> dana: last night even this is texas dps saying the troopers apprehended a group of 204 illegal immigrants in maverick county. 57 unaccompanied children ages eight to 17 were among the group. pieces of paper with addresses to various states. this has been going on for a while and including the first three years of the administration in great numbers. it has an effect on places all across the country, including this city.

>> you are absolutely right. in new york city just the other day, our city council took up a hearing because they hear there is so many children here without any kind of parental supervision. what are we going to do? how will we make sure these kids go to school and how do we protect them? the gangs, we know they have taken over one hotel. the police were on the show the other day and confirm it. they've taken over the roosevelt hotel and recruiting these kids. the kids have no choice. kids as young as eight and 11 years old are part of these gangs and committing crimes in times square. >> bill: there are reports several hundred thousand minors crossed the border. >> we hear new york city is the third highest that have unaccompanied kids right now living in our shelters. >> bill: if that's what they're doing to hotel imagine the migrant camps with thousands of people. there are no cameras in there. >> it is a serious, serious

problem. i have a new documentary called the underground economy, the black-market. we come here, the migrants come to this city and we've had tens of thousands of them free room, free food, free healthcare, free schooling, and it is still not enough. they still can't survive in new york city. so there is this black-market now and they are part of the underground economy. they are working, when you order via uber eats or any place that delivers food, these are the people that are coming to your house. they are somehow finding money to buy motorcycles and mopeds to deliver food to your house. that's not the only thing they're doing trying to make ends meet in new york city. >> dana: what's the conclusion of the documentary? a lot of problems? >> we have a lot of problems. it is a black-market and you don't know who is coming into your home. >> bill: until they get a job,

we pay for it. >> until they get a job. it is not easy to get a permit to work in our city and country. >> dana: glad you are here for our show and fox nation. >> good day new york monday through friday. thank you so much. appreciate the time. >> bill: tell kurt hello. >> i will. >> bill: middle east we're waiting. more news, some information now on the idf and whether or not it has killed the leader of hamas. we're tracking all this now and watching it and see what we're getting out of jerusalem and tel aviv and rafah. back to trey yengst working our sources from people on the ground in the middle east in a moment. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that

president trump working to close the gender gap he has. he took questions from a live audience of all women in our town hall. plus israel's military says it may have killed the leader of hamas now. this is significant if it turns out to be true. they are investigating. senator marsha blackburn, steve hilton and others, "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> dana: fox news alert as we came on air today there was an indication it is possible that sinwar, the leader of hamas, has been killed by an idf air strike in israel. this would have happened in the rafah area near the border with egypt. so the idf is checking into that and checking dna and fingerprints to be able to confirm. our trey yengst is on top of it. it could be a significant development and for the victims of october 7th, some justice.

>> bill: there you have that. let's come back home for a moment. early voting is underway, 7 million americans have already cast a ballot, wow. state of georgia seeing record turnout in the first two days of early voting this week. all this as vice president harris finally shakes up the media strategy sitting down for her first-ever interview during this campaign here on the fox news channel. >> your campaign slogan is a new way forward and time to turn the page. you have been vice president for 3 1/2 years. what are you turning the page from? >> first of all, turning the page from the last decade in which we have been burdened with the kind of rhetoric coming from donald trump that has been designed and implemented to divide our country and have americans literally point fingers at each other. >> bill: former mayor of atlanta and harris campaign senior advisor. thank you for coming back. thanks for being here.

our fox polling dropped the latest numbers right smack dab in the middle of that interview. this is what we found in the second line. right now according to our numbers, kamala harris is only getting 67% of the black vote. now contrast that to joe biden and barack obama. they are well over 90% of the democratic vote there. why is that number so soft? >> in a few weeks when i gather any family for thanksgiving it will be close to 100 of us and i can tell you there will probably be 50 different opinions in the room, at least. we're not a monolith. it really speaks to the need for each candidate no matter what your party affiliation, to speak to people, to speak to their concerns, and that includes the african-american community.

there are a lot of things that people are concerned about, not just in the african-american community, not just democrats, not just republicans, but the vice president made it very clear she is not taking anyone for granted. she is going to continue to speak directly to these issues that impact our communities and she is going to continue to work to earn our vote. we'll see how it all shakes out. that's not what i'm picking up on. i do think that people want to know where candidate stands and that's the beauty of a democracy. people get to make decisions who is better suited to represent them. in this case, i obviously believe it is the vice president of the united states. >> dana: you will have to tell me at some point how you feed 100 people at thanksgiving. that sounds absolutely incredible that you could -- i'm sure you can pull it off. i wanted to ask you about the early vote in georgia. you were the mayor of atlanta. that city has gone through

tremendous demographic changes. a lot of people want to live in georgia and atlanta suburbs . across the state you are seeing record turnout for early voting. any indications from your perspective? are you reading tea leaves as the vote comes in? >> yes, i will tell you, you start cooking a week in advance. in terms of early voting, there is strong turnout on both sides. we are seeing it in rural and urban areas and seeing it from democrats and republicans and i'm sure independents as well. so there is a lot of interest in this election. we have 19 days to go and we've seen this happen before. even oftentimes where we have a strong turnout on the democratic side, sometimes we're overtaken on election day. we've seen it go both ways. so it is going to be important for us to not take our foot off the gas to make sure that again we're still speaking directly to

voters, encouraging them to turn out and vote. >> bill: thank you for coming on. early voting in person lasts for how long? >> i believe in georgia it goes until november 1st in georgia. >> bill: thank you for your time. we'll check back in with you before then. thank you. >> sounds good. thank you. >> bill: former mayor, there she is. see how that goes. before we leave, we haven't confirmed this yet. the idf is doing dna testing and fingerprinting. a lot of reports that sinwar is dead. online coming out of and tel aviv. we have not yet nailed it down. >> dana: the point you have to decide if it's true, what's next? second in command apparently is in qatar. then what happens? harris faulkner takes you throw you the next hour. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. democratic white house nominee kamala harris headed into the battleground state of wisconsin today afte
