good morning, jackui. >> good morning. president biden always intended to talk about the middle east in his conversations that are still happening right now with the leaders of france, germany and the u.k. they especially want to get to iran supporting russia for its war in ukraine. they sent missiles. that was always supposed to be part of the conversation. talks about the middle east with regard to gaza are a bit more hopeful now after israel eliminated the head of hamas. listen. >> sinwar was the main obstacle to getting a cease-fire done. he would refuse to move forward. his death does provide a unique opportunity to try to take advantage of where we are with hamas, where israel is with hamas and see if we can't get a cease-fire in place. >> the other big focus here is positioning ukraine for success. the german president didn't hide his country's anxiety about the possibility of another trump presidency. there is uncertainty about what future u.s. support for

ukraine's defense looks like and also u.s. involvement in nato. >> so in the months to come i hope that europeans remember america is indispensible and i hope the americans remember your allies are indispensable for you. the choice on november 5th is only america's choice to make. >> despite all the anxiety about whether ukraine will continue to get u.s. help, biden still has not green lit two things that zelenskyy says would make a big difference and position ukraine with enough leverage to negotiate an end to the war. no decision from the white house to allow them to use missiles on targets deep inside russia and a possible invitation to the alliance. >> we have a difficult winter but we cannot let up.

we cannot -- thank you so much. kind of you. we had a very difficult winter. we cannot let up. >> a little bit of an awkward moment where the president was speaking about the need to support ukraine in the future. it is possibly his last trip to europe as president. a little nostalgia for him coming as zelenskyy is sounding the alarm about north korea sending troops into ukraine on russia's behalf and the dynamic of the war shifting. dana. >> dana: you are in a beautiful city, berlin, indeed. thank you, jackui. >> bill: the death of sinwar sending reverberations throughout the world. how does this change the reality now in the middle east? if it changes it at all. matt miller, state department spokesman with me now. thank you for your time. nice to see you today and good morning. what do you want to see happen

when you know hamas has demanded the israeli military get out of gaza before any hostages have any intent of heading home? >> well, good morning, bill, thank you for having me. let me say first of all the death of yahya sinwar is obviously hugely significant event for the middle east and the united states. someone who had the blood of israeli and american citizens on his hands and more than 30 countries on his hands. the fact he has been brought to justice no longer sits at the top of hamas is a win for the united states and a win for the world and something that the entire world should recognize and applaud. in terms of where we go forward. sinwar was not just the person who made the decision to launch the terror attacks of october 7th. he more than any other person has been t singular obstacle to ending this war in the past few months. so go back to the -- to may when

president biden laid out the proposal to get a cease-fire in gaza to bring all the hostages home, to provide real security for israel. it set off this period of negotiations where we were going back and forth with our partners qatar and egypt to try and bridge the differences between israel and hamas. what we have seen over the past few weeks, over the past little over a month is hamas at sinwar's instigation refusing to even come to the negotiating table to talk about how we can end this war. he has been the chief obstacle to getting an end to the war and getting the hostages home. now that he has been removed from the battlefield we want days and weeks ahead find a way to end this war, bring the hostages home. find a better life for the palestinian people and secure israel. >> bill: two questions. what if the next leader of hamas has the same thoughts of the existence of israel? if that's the case, we're in the

same spot, aren't we? >> so i would certainly -- without making any predictions who the next leader of hamas will be, you can certainly expect that they will be someone committed to the destruction of israel which is why the united states will be committed to holding every hamas terrorist accountable for their actions and support israel. at the same time, sinwar has been such a unique figure inside hamas because he has had control of not just the military wing of hamas but for the past two months also control of the political wing of hamas. so we don't know what will come next. we know the chief obstacle to date has been removed and so this is an opportunity to try and seize the moment and find a way to end this war. find a way to get the hostages home. find a way to provide real security and peace for both israelis and palestinians. >> bill: netanyahu yesterday about the war not over. watch here. >> this is not the end of the war in gaza, it is the beginning

of the end. the axis of terror built by iran is collapsing before our eyes. nasrallah is gone, his deputy is gone, two others and sinwar is gone. >> bill: how vulnerable is iran now with its proxy leaders taken out. >> it is certainly the case iran had a strategy to fund and arm proxy groups around the middle east, not just hamas and hezbollah but also the houthis, as a bull work and deterrent against israel. over the past few months we've seen them systematically degraded. a good thing for stability and security in the middle east. what we want to see is find an end to these conflicts that provide lasting security. not short term security for israel but lasting security for israel and greater stability for the entire region. and that's the work that secretary blinken at the

president's direction will be undertaking in the days ahead. >> bill: i hope we get there. come back soon. thank you for your time. into the weekend we ride and see what we get then. thank you. >> dana: vice president harris shifting her message on the campaign trail against former president. far from the cry the joy democrats were pushing when she took over the ticket. >> a second trump term would be a huge risk for america and dangerous. donald trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged. inside an abandoned chicken coop. where our founder discovered a retired teacher living. no home. no health care. so she said no to this injustice and yes to transforming lives. it's this drive, this compassion that inspired aarp. today, we empower people to choose how they live as they age. as a wise friend and fierce defender, we advocate for better health, financial security,

watch. >> carries the winning run in game three. high, deep drive, left field. and it is a walk-off home run! david frye lights up the cleveland night! >> dana: there is that phrase again. the walk-off home run. david frye nailing a walk-off two-run homer giving them a victory against the yankees in game three. the guardians were one out away from elimination in the bottom of the ninth before dying the game with another two-run homer. now they trail two games to one. >> bill: a great postseason. baseball made a great comeback. my buddy works at john boy is a cleveland fan from cleveland. he sent this out on x last night. got it from a friend of a friend of a friend.

[cheers and applause] >> dana: that's so great. bill, i love how excited they are. this is why i don't go to baseball games. because i'm afraid i will be talking and like saying nonsense about nothing that has to do with the game and get hit in the head by a walk-off home run. >> awesome energy there. that's what october is all about. it is good to see. cleveland was about to go home. now they are alive as ever. >> dana: they keep going and thrilling a lot of fans. that's great as well. >> bill: thanks for that assist. >> dana: the other home runs were last night at this dinner. >> i'm sorry, why is vice president harris not here?

>> this is a room full of catholics and jews in new york city. she did find time to appear on "the view", howard stern, cobert and the call her dad' podcast. >> dana: president trump was the headline speaker taking aim at vice president harris skipped the high profile event and became the first presidential candidate to avoid the light hearted gathering since 1984. rich lowry is here. i love these types of events and i love watching in a democracy where you can have humor and poke fun at each other and it helps to ease the tension. play one more sound bite from president trump. call for one and get you to react. >> this evening amazing pleasure and these days it's really a pleasure anywhere in new york

without a subpoena for my appearance. [laughter] unfortunately governor walz isn't here himself. don't worry, he will say that he was. he is going to say he was. [laughter] i didn't like biden very much. now i like him quite a bit. >> dana: it shows a different mode, a different gear as a candidate. she decided to skip it. what do you think? >> yeah, it doesn't make any sense to me. hard to mess up the al smith dinner. who went to it and see it was terrible. there is laughs, everyone is prone to laugh and good natured event and you move on. they skipped it. it is hard to understand why. and then it would have been one thing to skip it and stay silent or write a nice letter. then she is a cringe worthy video with an snl cast member.

>> dana: i think she probably could have done it well. i also would not have allowed the video. you won't come, you don't get to do the video. it fell flat anyway. you wrote in national review, i read it today. she doesn't have a good answer on immigration because there is no good answer. ron desantis was on jesse waters show talking about hermida appearances. >> they air drop her in to replace biden. a limited runway. the bet they made is that a combination of legacy media propping her up and then having gazillion dollars to be able to run ads would be able to mask her deficiencies. >> dana: if you don't have an answer because there is no good answer, it doesn't matter how much the media can try to cover for you, you are exposed at some point, rich. >> yeah, you just have to evade

and that is what she does if she would do anything from joe biden. the worst gaffe she committed in the "the view" when she said she couldn't think of anything. it wouldn't be a continuation of the biden years. she can't cite anything specifically and not just because she has bad communication skills that's a choice. they could have decided out of the gate we have to get separation, a president with 40% approval rating, the three or four things we say we do differently. they decided not to do that. >> dana: you have this from the a.p. harris is shifting her tone in the final campaign stretch. less talk of joy and morehead on digs on trump near election day. "wall street journal" she is sharpening attacks on trump. a friend said you can't go negative like that until people know who you are. she spent time telling people

who she is but do you think this is more her speed that she likes this position where she can be a little bit tougher, a little bit more aggressive towards trump in these final days? >> maybe. but one it's weird you are trying to figure out how to attack your opponent on october 18th. democrats had the problem since the rise of trump. don't hate your enemies. it clouds your judgment. they hated trump so much they have engaged in over the top attacks that don't have credibility. the line she had on trump prior to this point attacking conventional republican tax cuts for the rich makes more sense than he is the american hitler. she might be tending back that way. positive case for herself and joy was so synthetic it is deflating and turn to things she is comfortable with, one is abortion and two is attacking donald trump. >> dana: you say harris is so

tinny and unpersuasive on the border, part and parcel of a strategic choice to muddy the waters, rich lowry, a pleasure to have you on the show. >> disregard anything said about the guardians a couple minutes ago as a yankee fan and get up and wanted to walk away. such a devastating moment for yankee nation. >> bill: you get another shot. it was great video. >> we have another one. >> dana: keep your eyes open in case of the balls heading into the stands. >> see you, rich.

>> harris: former president trump and vice president kamala harris are fighting to shore up key democratic stoning holds in the so-called blue wall and leaning in hard on one key issue, the border crisis. but critics are not buying kamala harris's sudden shift to tough border positions. netanyahu is planning to press forward after taking out again a top terror chief. this time hamas. an architect of the october 7th massacre, congressman and army combat veteran cory mills. ben domenech and jason rantz "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> the university banning a pro-israel professor. why would that be? lydia hu outside columbia with more from there. >> columbia university says the

professor is harassing and intimidating another university staff. at the center of the controversy are videos that he posted stemming from the memorial that marked the one-year when hamas attacked israel. he says these videos speak for themselves. take a look. he took them during the october 7th memorial and he says that other students that are show pro-palestinian support attended and there were also carrying signs and shouting remarks demonstrating support for hamas. the professor said he encountered administration officials at the memorial and in this video approached them why he says they are tolerating the hate when he published this video and staff email addresses on social media as well. now he tells me even with this temporary ban in place he is not going to stop calling it out. listen to this. >> i think when every person on campus, jewish or not jewish, can be -- can feel safe being
