federal level. when i looked at what i was able to do cutting 21 agencies to save 215 million dollars and i can tell you, neil, that's conservative, in three years. think of what they could do if they would cut tannxes, reduce red tape, and plow those savings back into tax cuts for the american people and for the business community. neil: you know, i think that would lead to a boom not only on wall street, but main street and the economy would soar. if you tackle these things head on, what do you think? >> those are difficult conversations and they need to be had. those are very thoughtful conversations, look, i think that wall street likes the fact that the parties work together. they want split partnership, they don't want one country controlling the other half, they want to see them work together. that's how we solve this. there's hope after the election we'll bring the groups together and have the public sector and

partisan partnership and i think that's what the comments speak to. we have some big challenges ahead no one wants to talk about on the campaign trail because it doesn't get votes. it's unfortunate, but we've got to address the issues and wall street wants to see that and it's going to vote with feet after the election if we don't take action soon. neil: well-said. and always good talking to you on this and i like to step back and a look at history and what it suggests. i understand during the campaign there's name calling and a lot of insulting back and forth, back and forth, but it's time to be adults and look at these big problems because they're not going away, my friends. you can count on that. all right, in the meantime, counting on retribution in israel right now. we take out the bad guys over there, the israelis say, the bad guys respond, we're going after you. and they almost pulled it off after this. where ya headed? susan: where am i headed? am i just gonna take what the markets gives me? no. i can do some research. ya know, that's backed by j.p. morgan's leading strategists like us.

>> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, i apologize, has already responded this morning to this drone attack near his private residence. he's okay and wanted to let the nation know he's okay and not deterred. matt finn now has more from tel aviv. >> neil, that attempted attack happened to the north of where i am in tel aviv, near the town, and one israeli official said this drone attack was

meant to eliminate prime minister benjamin netanyahu. it did not hit his house. israelis say the drone was launched from lebanon and struck, you can see that on the map on your screen right now. one of more than 100 drones launched from lebanon floo northern israel. our fox crew has seen some of the missiles intercepted and benjamin netanyahu says he will not be deterred from this and israel's monumental elimination of yahya sinwar. >> two weeks ago we took out yahya sinwar, master mind whose goons beheaded our men and raped our women and babies, and proxies, we're going to win this war. >> new drone video shows the last moments of sinwar's life,

he is camouflaged. perhaps the number one for riz, and speculation that perhaps hamas will disarm. however, say that his death will not end its mission. the attempted attacks, it shows people taking cover and miflsz missiles intercepted. and about unfortunately, sinwar's death has not led to any cease-fire and the idf is urging the public not to believe any rumors circulating that there have been some recent recent hostages recovered or released. that has not happened and hurts the families more where those rumors spread. neil. neil: all right. matt, thank you very much. be safe, my friend.

matt finn in tel aviv. general david petraeus now joining us. general, always good to see you, i don't want to get into hypotheticals, what if this drone attack had succeeded and taken out benjamin netanyahu? obviously, very different world here, but they did get close. >> apparently so. and obviously, this is cause for concern. you'll recall that another drone got through a few days ago and actually killed four idf soldiers at a very important base and wounded a number of others. this highlights the challenge posed by drones. they're difficult to pick up and if a large number come at one time, that adds to that complexity. of course, however they're intercepted, again, there's a finite number of interceptors of various types and some of these are costly iron dome, if used, can be 50,000 per each

interceptor. so, challenge -- we've discussed before, neil, the real problem with hezbollah is that they have tens of thousands. they probably have really still well over 100,000 missiles, drones, rockets, and other projectiles and if they could coordinate a substantial attack at one time, the concern is that they could overwhelm the very sophisticated layered israel defense so iron dome, david sling arrow and now, of course, the u.s. system that's been added in largely focused on the iranian ballistic missile threat because a couple of those got through the other day, did no damage, but again, the concern about this is legitimate. neil: yeah, and if they launched at once, to your point, general. we're waiting to see israel's response to that missile attack back on october 1st from iran. some say it's going to wait until after the u.s. election. i don't know how true that is, but we've heard from benjamin netanyahu already, it will not

include oil facilities, it will not include nuclear facilities. what do you think? >> well, in fact, the oil markets have already responded and you saw the risk premium eliminated, had gone back up. brent crude is back down into the lower 70's again per barrel. i think this will come after our terminal high altitude area defense system is established and at that time, i think, they'll have the confidence to undertake strikes very substantial strikes on iranian military targets related military industries, and so forth, to reduce the capacity of iran to make different systems, to employ them and so on. and then the question is, how does iran respond? do they continue to escalate in which case this could get more challenging or do they recognize that that is a path down which they should not go because they've lost a lot now in terms of their different proxies, hezbollah's been more

than decapitated. the senior leadership of hezbollah has been decimated. the same is true, obviously, of hamas. the problem is in each case, even in the case of hamas where israel has really freedom of action in gaza, there are still tens of thousands of hamas extremists and there are a number of willing recruits so they can continue to reconstitute their personnel unless israel goes in, because there's no other force that's going to do this, goes in and establishes security and control, which is something for which i have been advocating and i think you have to have that or you also cannot provide humanitarian assistance in an organized way. you can't restore basic services, you can't get the palestinian people in the vicinity of their homes, temporary shelter and i think one of the objectives should be to provide a better future for the palestinian people as you are also ensuring the true destruction of hamas. hamas is not destroyed unless you keep them from recons

recons reconstituting. israel's seizure of the southern border, control of that, shouldn't give up. shouldn't negotiate it away, we shouldn't push to do that, and the sinai is important in preventing the re-armament of hamas which use today take place through the rafah crossing and the tunnels underneath the southern border known as the philadelphiaa corridor. and they can reconstitute in terms of personnel unless they go in and actually secure gaza, a handful of gated communities, many handsful, north to south and if you do that, then you can start to bring in palestinian security forces that will have been trained and equipped in the jordan police training center and organizations can come in, humanitarian organizations can do much more in a situation like that than they're able to do now where they're often

hijacked quickly by criminal elements or jihad remnants. will prime minister netanyahu layout a vision for gaza and the palestinian people that will provide them better, after the murderous actions on 10-7 or does it continue to be this essentially lawless, criminal element, hamas remnants governing this. again, keep in mind his objective was to destroy hamas, and to prevent them from governing again and right now, while they've dramatically degraded hamas, they're not fully doing those two objectives. neil: thank you very much, general david petraeus on the fast-changing developments here. i want to bring you up-to-date what's going on in north carolina. we have been telling you about, you know, this very active and robust early voting and keep in

mind, it's north carolina and dealing still with the fallout from helene some weeks ago. danamarie mcnicholl has more. >> we'll tell you how election officials are making sure that hurricane victims get to the polls coming up. now is the time to go back in time. and shine a light on the family journey that led to you. detailed dna results. inspiring family history memberships. now's the time to save at ancestry.

>> all right. recovery and early voting, both going on simultaneously in north carolina. this state is amazing with all its been through and still managing record early voting as we speak. danamarie mcnicholl there in asheville, north carolina, as she has been for quite some time never forgetting this state and what it's gone through and continues to go through. danamarie. >> that's right, neil. record breaking voters are coming out stronger than even in the 2020 election and as you mentioned here in asheville, part of the most hardest hit

from hurricane helene. as you see the long lines behind me represent that getting out to vote in the midst of all of this destruction is still a very big priority. >> i'm actually impressed with the north carolina board of elections, especially buncombe, they know how important it to get people out to vote in the counties severely affected. >> and originally it's planned down to 76. just four sites had to close because of the devastation here in buncombe county. and 487,000 voters have already cost ballots in north carolina. getting voters to the polls is an all hands on deck effort to make sure that they can get here. multiple government organizations are working to have internet service, portable restrooms, sturdy tents and generators delivered to the counties that need them for the

early voting sites. all sites do have power, but some of them don't have water, so, that's been a little bit of a struggle. for those impacted by the storm, using absentee ballots will be very important and officials have been in contact with the u.s. postal service to make sure those ballots get to the people whose mailboxes or homes are no longer there. and also, many provisions have been made to ensure returning absentee ballots are easy for voters here in northwestern north carolina and the numbers are large, about 380,000 absentee ballots have been requested and election officials expect those numbers to continue to rise in the wake of hurricane helene. >> dana, thank you very much, danamarie, excellent reporting through the crisis, danamarie. i want to keep you up-to-date about the intelligence efforts, the afghan country that got into the country and might have been plotting an election day attack and we heard from a

republican on that issue and now texas republican dan crenshaw after this. sia, started disrupting my day. td felt embarrassing. i felt like disconnecting. i asked my doctor about treating my td, and learned about ingrezza. ♪ ingrezza ♪ ingrezza is clinically proven for reducing td. most people saw results in just two weeks. people taking ingrezza can stay on most mental health meds. number-one prescribed ingrezza has simple dosing for td: always one pill, once daily. ingrezza can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with huntington's disease. pay close attention to and call your doctor if you become depressed, have a sudden changes in mood, behaviors, feelings or have thoughts of suicide. don't take ingrezza if you're allergic to its ingredients. ingrezza may cause serious side effects, including angioedema, potential heart rhythm problems, and abnormal movements. report fevers, stiff muscles, or problems thinking as these may be life threatening. sleepiness is the most common side effect. take control by asking your doctor about ingrezza.

>> i can tell you as ranking member of the intelligence committee, the broader a plot extends, the more likely either the fbi or our intelligence community is to see it, to see it, you know, if an individual who wants to commit violence is talking to lots of people abroad there's a reasonably good chance that we're going to get wordment so the consequence of that, is somebody is acting, as we call a lone wolf, bent on doing violence and self-radicalized and haven't told people about it, that's a danger because they may not be communicating with anybody. neil: all right. a new wrinkle, as we try to understand with this afghan national who somehow got into

this country, might have been radicalized once he got to this country, but his intent, we're told was to allegedly target an election day attack on this country. fair and balanced now the read from a prominent republican. a lot of people know this fellow, dan crenshaw sits on the intelligence committee and the cartel task force. congressman, a lot of us don't understand this -- i know you can't share everything on this. was he acting alone? radicalized alone here? what are you hearing? >> well, i have not been briefed on the specifics of this matter, i'm not sure we will probably until we get back into session and go into a secure room to do so. i don't think the people act actually investigating it know the answer yet. we can comment on broader context and the broader context is this you have an impossible situation because of the bad

policy decision. that bad policy decision was to withdraw from afghanistan in an extr extremely manner. and deserving allies that worked with us for 20 years, who need a new home because we allowed theirs to be destroyed. and you have it impossible situation now because you have maybe 99% of them who are very deserving decent participants, but there's that small percentage you can't vet. you don't have enough time to, you don't have enough resources to and may not have the information on them at all, and that appears to be the case here. and it's very much possible that they could have been radicalized right here at home and you never would have caught it no matter what. it speaks to a broader problem, again, where this administration has not taken our national security serious enough. we've heard from the fbi director and by the way, good on the fbi here, that they're

doing their job, but this isn't an isolated incident. they're having to do their job a lot. the fbi director said he saw a red flashes lights everywhere last year, just this summer we had eight nationals arrested connected to isis intent on committing a terrorist plot in the united states. the fbi wrapped them up and tracked them. pakistani nationals with ties to iran, also arrested looking at plots to do with assassinating politicians and uncovered that iran is trying to assassinate president trump. there's a lot going on here and to have an open border and a kind of whimsical, you know, vetting process is just generally a bad idea and something that we need to look at and maybe, maybe understand that there's only so much you can do and letting millions of people in across our border puts our own bureaucracy in an impossible situation. neil: yeah, and even to your

99% figure, even 99% who did get here from afghanistan were fine, even applying the 1 % who are not, and those that crossed the border, quickly, what do we do to stop that? >> the border or the issue with afghan nationals? talk about the border, the border is easy to stop we need to win an election and we need to get president trump in the white house and implement back those orders previously, enforce some of our laws. do we need to tweak some new laws? absolutely, within our existing system, we can stop that. we need to win elections, neil, people need to get out and vote, that's the simple answer to that question. neil: all right. sorry to jump on you on the end with the timing issue. congressman, thank you very much.
