funded. now, here was a little bit of what vice president harris had to say to my colleague bret baier when he asked her about some of the first things they did. listen here. >> do you regret the decision to terminate remain in mexico at the beginning of your administration? >> the first bill we offered congress before we worked on infrastructure and before the inflation reduction act and before the chips and science act and before the bipartisan safer communities act. the first bill practically within hours of taking the oath was a bill to fix our immigration system. griff: chief, do you remember that moment, that bill and what it have helped things? >> well, everybody has a difference of opinions and that's one thing to put a bill on the table and it's one that's entirely different story and putting an effective bill that

focuses on the problem rather than including a lot of extras that are superfluous and don't fix the problem and to the acting secretary's point, to fy25 budget and kbp is looking for about -- cbp looking for 102 million to upgrade some of the systems but the reality is the need is significantly higher than that. last year alone, well over $1 billion spent on migrant care alone and talk about priorities if we weren't dealing with the flow that we were seeing now, that money could be really well spent on the infrastructure to make agents safer and make their jobs safer. griff: we need to do that un-dotedly. chief -- undoubtedly and, chief, i'll give you the last word and give us your thoughts on if harris does win, what does the border look like under a harris administration? >> let me go back to the clip that you played and she talks about a bill that she bruceed on day one. remember, democrats in her party

had the white house, senate and house and why didn't they pass that bill if so good and would fix the immigration system? the answer is it was so progressive and radford dallas cowboys and members of her own -- radical and members of her own party didn't want to vote for it and did nothing to fix the crisis and secure the border. that's really important for a lot of viewers to understand that that bill would have done nothing and it's all they can point to. she points that that bill and another and why not use the authorities you have and the vice president and listen to folks like the deputy chief and others on that border tahin that know what it takes to secure the boarder and i'm afraid if we're not successful and president trump is not successful in november, and i believe he will be, you'll have a continued three and a half to four more years of this. you'll continue to see these numbers skyrocket, national security threats continue to plague this country. griff: we have to leave it there.

former acting dhs secretary chad wolf and matt hudak, thank you for your time as always. >> thank you. griff: molly. molly: a series of new cross border attacks on israel coming from lebanon overnight including a drone strike launched at israeli prime minister benjamin israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's home, that's next. ♪ help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need, and the flavor you love. so, here's to now... now available: boost max!

griff: new casualties and operations continue in gaza and lebanon after the country took off the hamas leader. matt finn in tel aviv watching all this. reporter: hey, griff. i'm in tel aviv and israel says the drone attack happened near

netanyahu's vacation home and struck them and it did not hit netanyahu's house and netanyahu's office calling it an attempted elimination. it was it was more than 100 mis0 miss -- 100 missile strikes and 14 people injured and netanyahu released a video a short while ago and re-responding to the monumental elimination and hamas leader yahya sinwar. >> two days ago we took ought sinwar, the terrorist master mind whose goons beheaded our men, raped our women, burned babies alive. we took him out and we're continuing our battle with iran's other terrorist proxies and we're going to win this war.

>> drone video showing the final moments of sinwar's life this week and he's camouflaged amongst the rubble on the left there. sinwar was considered the de facto leader of hamas and perhaps enemy number one of israel and master mind of october 7. his death has sparked speculation that perhaps hamas will disarm and however hamas says sinwar's death will not end its mission and in response to that attempted assassination of netanyahu today, israel has carried out at least three air strikes in beirut suburbs and populated areas home to hezbollah offices. also the idf is releasing multiple today and urging the public not to believe rumors circulating some of the hostages in gaza have been released or recovered and they say these rumors are only hurting the families. griff. griff: matt finn line for us in

tel aviv. matt, thank you. molly. molly: after a trip to germany to rally u.s. allies and president biden at camp david today as secretary of state antony blinken is getting ready for his own trip to the middle east. lucas tomlin son is tracking this for us. lucas, to you. reporter: good afternoon, molly. with other two weeks to go before the election, president biden is in camp david as you mentioned and just returned from germany last night and now he did have a opportunity while on the ground in berlin to speak to a number of european leaders about the war in ukraine and president biden took questions from reporters before flying home. >> any chance to change your mind long range and allowing them to strike russia and that's one of the main proposals? >> foreign policy never change my mind. right now there's no threat for

long range missiles. >> knowing where to go. reporter: president biden spent friday in germany meeting with leaders and biden announced delivery of over $400 million to more weaponry to ukraine and some republicans think biden has not gone far enough, molly, to help ukraine defeat russia with the war going to a stalemate and to president biden and the top republican on the armed services committee and said roger wicker of mississippi made the recommendation and the transfer to ukraine and end of restrictions for u.s. supplied weapons and increase in the cap of non-u.s. military personnel. that did not have to do exactly with members of the agency, cia he was talking about more contractors and people to help facilitate the weapons, deliveries and ensure they're getting to the right place, molly. molly: great points there. thank you, lucas tomlin son. griff, back to you. griff: more on the escalation in

the middle east, bring in jewish institute for national security of america senior fellow, john hannah. john, i want to pick up really where, you know, the the removal of sinwar is sag cant and the drone -- significant and you and i talking and watching that report by matt finn in netanyahu's video saying that they'll end this war and what do you make of the drone strike and really what netanyahu is saying there? >> well, in the first place, it demonstrates as badly as hezbollah has been and shattered by the israelis, they still retain a capacity to do real damage to israeli citizens and even going after the prime minister directly. these drones are a real problem and israel's great against rockets and missiles and drones are an issue that we still haven't fully got a solution to.

having said that, the prime minister looks completely resolved to finish this war and continuing to deliver these massive body blows to the iranian ring of fire that's been assembled around israel over the last several decades on its border in the south with hamas, on its border in the north with lebanon, and eventually obviously weakening and going after the iranian regime itself. griff: iranian ring of fire, john and you put that well and the iranian proxies is what israel is defending against and now in the wake and we just heard in the last hour, vice president harris did a gaggle with a couple reporters and talking about how the death of yahya sinwar creates a opportunity and hope for ceasefire deal. do you see this as being headed towards a ceasefire deal? >> it's highly unlikely and administration's go to move for months now has been ceasefire and end this war.

>> mamas won't be ready to surrender and deliver and end this and the israelis will continue till hamas is obliterated and their warm games have been achieved and focus on the north in lebanon doing the same to shatter hezbollah and then focus on the huge iranian threat and the nuclear threat. . gift: to your point about this administration's approach, it reminds me it wasn't too long ago when president biden was drawing a line in the sand over telling israel not to go into rafah where we just saw yahya sinwar killed. here's a little bit of what biden had to say drawing that

line. jaire i'm never going to leave israel. the defense of israel is critical and there's red lines s that if he crosses and may not have 30,000 more palestinians dead. griff: that was the administration telling israel point-blank and threatening with aid and weapons not to go into rafah and had israel not chosen to go their own path, sinwar would be alive. >> very likely sinwar would still be alive and thank god the israelis ignored the administration's warning about that. to the administration's credit, the president has done a lot to defend israel and what he doesn't seem willing and prepared to allow israel to then go on offense and destroy it is enemies and america's ene enemin this iranian ring of fire. griff: it does look like israel is stepping on the gas in this
