"did you see what harold did?greg: our president. jesse, why should we listen to iran? them threatening israel, israel is like "what can you do that hasn't been unto us?" >> jesse: they talk tough, but they can use proxies to harass them from the north and south. besides rugs, they have pistachios, one of the best exports. the oil sanctions joe biden took them off because we needed oil prices stabilized after the ukraine more, than the $6 billion, the hostage swap, we have ships to go past them. we never, ever respond to the pop shots that the iranians take. then we are paying their proxies, paying them billions. they are begging to get back in this nuke deal. right now i wouldn't do anything to the iranians. i would squeeze them. i would slap those missile limitations back on, but if they attack anywhere through hezbollah or through hamas again, you let the israelis take care of it. do not strike around right now, unless they kill americans in iraq, then you do something, but i would not go gung ho into tehran. >

yesterday the white house confirmed just under a handful of those americans are indeed hamas hostages. >> dana: all right, thank you, gillian turner at the state department. >> bill: wanted to tell what the state department is saying about how these americans can get out. ron desantis the florida governor said he would fly planes into israel now. his office put out a number of more than 20,000 americans that want to leave. the only place we've heard a number. state department hasn't given us one nor the white house. where they got 20,000 we don't know. if that's true you can imagine just how many people are involved and how long it could take. back to this area here. jerusalem is -- let me pull this up here -- is roughly here, okay? this is the west bank, you have been seeing a lot of pictures from the west bank. there have been clashes in the west bank for weeks. it is our understanding some of the clashes picked up today given the day of rage. in east jerusalem we saw people in the streets. to what degree and intensity we don't know. you will see pictures from the west bank throughout the da

. >> dana: while you are speaking president biden is welcoming the australian prime minister to the white house. a little bit there will be a press conference. we'll take 2 and 2. in the meantime bari weiss saying there was no uproar at the time in response to the journalistic mal practice -- talking about the hospital report -- at least not in public. perhaps expressed concerns privately for fear of reprisal. she talked about how for you in june of 2020 you wrote an op-ed called send in the troops. one of the things you said one thing above all else will restore order to our streets and overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain law breakers. there was not a single thing in your piece that was incorrect and yet as you remember well, senator, several people lost their jobs because they let you put an op-ed in. even today we were just talking about how "the new york times" is still wondering if maybe there might be some plausible reason that it wasn't the palestinian jihad that shot that rocket into the parking lot of the hospital. >> dana, look, it is not surprising "the new york time

dana: i do, too. speaking of iran listen to the white house briefing yesterday where our own jacque heinrich was asking the $6 billion and whether the biden administration will indeed freeze it. >> why is it that you won't come out and say the u.s. does not intend to let this money go to iran? >> jacque, we've already had since the beginning the ability to provide oversight over the disbursement of these funds. >> is it because we think that freezing it essentially again would complicate any negotiations with iran or our ability to get americans home in the future? >> i'm not going to go into any more detail. >> dana: your thoughts on that, elliott. >> one word missing from the president's excellent statements about this war is iran. he won't talk about iran. i think the administration really needs to rethink it's iran policy, which is basically the obama iran policy of lifting sanctions, of trying to get along with iran. with president obama said we have to share the neighborhood with iran. i think they really need now to rethink all of that. i would hope go back to a much tougher pressure campaign tr

white house. we begin with greg palkot reporting live from israel. greg. >> bret, dana, we are a mile and a half away from the gaza trip. the town of sarot, israel says this town is secure. let's bring you up to date with the latest. the story changes by the hour. we have been watching israeli fighter jets cross over countless times. we've been hearing blasts again and again and again inside of gaza. now we have it confirmed that they have hit 250 locations today inside gaza, which they say is an infrastructure for the hamas militants. we see the rockets going to other way, across us, five at one time, most of them have been knocked down by the israeli defenses including the iron dome. but there are -- there is word that central israel, including tel aviv, including the international airport has been hearing sirens and barrages of rockets coming from hamas militia. what we've heard from washington is that the first bit of u.s. military aid is on its way. it will be coming here considering the amount of material that we've been seeing used here, that would come in handy.

white ocean privilege. i will answer for you. >> dana: what's important is transparency. that's key.hard as it is to watch these videos are know exactly what happen or listen to the stories of what happened, it's so important. barry weiss at the free press is doing a great job of oral testimony to make sure that it's out there. i would make everyone of these kids listen to it. i would love to give these kids a map that had no names on it and see they could tell me, where is israel? you know exactly how that would go. the other thing this weekend in india there was a protest of college kids and they were protesting. they are carrying the italian flag. which is also red, white, green. they didn't even know they were doing. the other point i would like to make, there was a journalist from one of the new york -- new yorker or "new york magazine" and they tweeted there had been evidence hamas had decapitated a child. got a ton of social media push back. they did a second tweet. not sure if the baby was beheaded or if the baby's head fell off after the trauma. imagine thinking that you act

what are you hearing from your sources at the white house about the prepared response right now? >> reporter: well, dana, needless to say, the situation in israel has been front and center for president biden all weekend as he has been getting briefings by his national security team. and as you said, he's spoken already twice with prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and we saw overnight how abruptly the president's focused and priority can change. this is now a president who is overseeing and contending with two different wars in two different regions of the world, and even though he as a candidate really explicitly ran as the person who he said is best equipped to handle this kind of global crisis, really better than anybody else, he is about to be tested in a whole new set of ways, and certainly when it comes to sort of the efforts to reshape diplomacy in the middle east, those efforts, at the very least, are on hold or disrupted right now. now, as for the immediacy of the president's actions and how he is responding, of course he has been talking with his counterpart about the assistance that he wants

dana perino. >> bill: it's hard to get away from this. ground invasion has not yet begun. the white house is racing along with u.s. allies. meanwhile, you got a cruise ship filled with americans being evacuated out of israel. it's left the northern port city on the way to the island of cypress. president biden has suddenly canceled his trip to colorado scheduled for today. only hours before heading out to highlight his economic agenda, in order to hold meetings back in washington for national security advisors. a number of hostages said to be held in gaza has ridden to 199. iran says hamas is ready to release hostages if israeli >> first, trey. yeng begins coverage in israel. where are we this hour? >> reporter: good morning. we are at an israeli artillery position. they are firing on the gaza strip as we speak. it comes after moments ago, there were sirens wounding in israel's first an second largest cities, jerusalem and tel-aviv. there was a session of the session. israeli prime minster benjamin netanyahu having to head to bomb shelters. the israelis are responding with artillery

. >> dana: permission to give some advice to the comes people at the white house. have power and there's two things that they've done where i think they could have done a better job since saturday. basically the people that are above them in terms of leadership or in the chief of staff's office or national security council, they are not giving the press people what they need in order to do things that are just logical. for example, on the charter flights, i would never have gone out there and knowing that i was going to get that question without being anyone to say there's charter flights and you go to the chief of staff's office and say i'm going to get this question, the president will be criticized like he was in the afghanistan withdraw and i don't want to do that and i want to protect the president and get the americans out and call whoever you need and they will them we need the flights and i will go out and do the briefing. the second thing they should have done on saturday when getting the question about the 6 billion and say i'm not going out there until i

dana. >> dana: casey stiegel, thank you. >> john: unsecured southern border prompting serious concerns for u.s. national security. let's bring in the former whiteief of staff karl rove. fiscal 23, we had millions illegally crossing the border. that's 6 1/2 million in biden's presidency. it is unbelievable. >> yeah, it's an astonishing number. think about it this way. how about the release of migrants who didn't apply for asylum? in december of 2020, 17 people who did not apply for asylum were released by border patrol into the u.s. population. in december of 2023, 140,355 in one month alone. so you can see the policies matter. if you have the remain in mexico plan, if you have a requirement that if you come here illegal and do not apply -- cannot apply for asylum you are returned back to the country where you came has an impact on the flow. if you say we'll get rid of remain in mexico, be a welcoming country. you want to come here we'll do what we can to make you feel comfortable and happy, this is what you get. you go from 17 a month to 140,000 people being released into our economy and country every month. >> john: the big corner is among tho

dana. >> here at home, pressure mounting for stronger action from the biden administration calling out iran. paider doocy live at the white house -- peter doocy live at the white house. hi, peter. reporter: president biden in his remarks yesterday before a group of jewish community leaders and he said that moving these massive amounts of military assets into the region at least a little bit closer to where the action is all happening was a essentially a message to iran to be careful. when they don't have a direct line connecting the leaders in iran to hamas and to the planning that we now understand took place over the course of about a year or more. that's because they just don't have it yet. there is press reporting supporting that. there are many comments when officials around here talk about this that iran is complicit in these kinds of things happening all around the world, but they're not prepared to directly blame iran because they don't have evidence and know what that would do. it would require a much stronger response from the united states, and it does not appear that they are ready to say that or to respond in

dana, back to you. >> it's important to note that. thanks for doing that. good to have you there, jake. we'll be back to you later in the program. for now, i want to go to the white house because president biden did speak with prime minister netanyahu yesterday and sources do tell cnn his administration is working behind the scenes to delay a possible ground incursion in gaza. mj lee is at the white house. what are you learning about this conversation? the latest one. >> yeah, president biden has really been in constant communication with prime minister netanyahu including this additional phone call that took place over the weekend coming at a moment when every indication seems to be that a ground invasion into gaza appears to be imminent, but what we are learning is that the administration has been urging israel to delay making such a move and there are a couple of things at play here. first and foremost, the issue of the hostages. we of course saw those two americans that were released on friday and u.s. officials have said they believe there are additional american hostages being held by hamas and the president has made very clear that getting them out is the

dana. >> manu, thank you so much. keep us posted if you hear anything, any white smoke or any other smoke coming from inside that room. appreciate it. >>> i've got great reporters here who have been very patient in waiting while you're doing, i know, your reporting on your phones. seung min, this -- we've covered a lot of this. i've covered this building on and off for three decades. i mean, nothing even comes close to the dysfunction that we are seeing right now. i mean, because usually there's maybe some solution that's up down the road that we just know we have to get down the road to get there. >> right. >> that doesn't exist right now. >> right, or there is some source of forcing mechanism that makes people over there get their act together, but we don't see that right now. you see jordan at least publicly is very dug in and you have the vast majority of the 25 holdouts, there's nothing you can give them to change their mind. i don't think jordan nor his allies have really come to terms with that at this point. >> yeah, there's a few options, either all those people change their minds except for four or you rever

dana: we're glad you are here. >> bill: natalie. you got a ride with a guy in a white pickup truck and you have no idea who that is. how many people do you think he saved that day? >> at least maybe 50. i'm one of them. i have heard from multiple people. some people have seen videos that might know who he is and get me in touch with him. i would like to thank him. >> dana: let us know about that, too. thank you. >> bill: welcome home. back to the battlefield. trey yengst has new reporting from inside an israeli village where terrorists left burned and shattered. we are awaiting word from police in michigan after the murder of a synagogue president. what happened there? we'll find out when we continue. , but at fisher investments we're clearly different. (other money manager) different how? you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them.

. >> sandra: sabrina sing, the deputy white house press secretary -- press secretary for the pentagon i should say was joining bill and dana this morning and remarkable moment, i believe bill you asked this question, when asked about this ground invasion, when it's happening and reports that the united states was somehow urging a delay of it. listen. >> the idf is one of the most capable militaries in the world. we are providing support and assistance. it's up to them to decide when they move forward with any type of incursion. >> sandra: can you tell us how involved is the united states in this decision on when to go and move into gaza? >> so israel is a sovereign nation, it will make its own decisions. obviously we are communicating with international partners, including with the united states because as you know, there are also hostages inside the gaza strip and people who were affected by the october 7th massacre who are dual citizenship holders and foreign nationals. but, our military generals and our political leadership are the ones that will make these decisions. when to move to stage two, stage three of this opera

defending his decision to build more wall and the white house messaging is all over the place as we say hello on a friday. you have almost made it, america. dana is off today. i'm bill hemmer live in new york city. sandra is back. >> sandra: i enjoyed the wake-up call this morning. thanks for having me back. good friday. the president's reversal on the border wall igniting a media firestorm. the left calling him out for breaking a campaign promise but the white house is defending the move. he says the money was earmarked already for the wall back in 2019. and the president had no choice but to use it. even though he didn't want to. >> we believe and the president has been very clear even when you ask him does a border wall work he said no. and he has been very consistent about that. we believe that a border wall is not effective. >> if you have to build a border wall but you don't think it will work, once its done will you tear it down? >> dhs is required to do this. the president asked multiple times of congress to reappropriate, they did not and we're not -- >> that flies in the face of the president's own department of homeland security say

dana, of course i think it is just worth talking about how exactly we got to this point tonight from the white house's perspective. some time ago the white house made the deliberate decision to take a bit of a -- an off-hand approach to the deliberations, basically trying to send the message, look, republicans and democrats came together several months ago, a deal was reached, and really it is only house republicans that are not holding up their end of the bargain. and the political calculation here was that if the government had shut down at midnight tonight, white house officials believed and democrats, too, that house republicans would end up shouldering much of that political blame. but i think the last part of that statement from president biden that is so, so key here -- i know that you have been talking about, this and i heard you talking about this with senator coons, as well, the president himself saying they very much expect how speaker kevin mccarthy to hold up his end of the bargain and bring up a separate measure in the coming days to make sure that there is funding separately for

white house back. and what we did was 14 times, dana, in 8 years i vetoed planned parenthood funding. 14 times.eve in states' rights, and i think we fought hard against roe v. wade for decades to say that states should make these decision. what you need is a leader who can talk to people and make them understand that if you're pro-life, you have to be pro-life for the entire life not just the nine months in the womb. and we talked a lot about fentanyl tonight, and we haven't spoken one moment about treatment. but we need to make sure for the drug-addicted 16-year-old on the floor of the county lockup, her life is precious too. and we need to be providing treatment to cure this disease that it is. if you're pro-life, you've got to be pro-life for the entire life. we start talking like that, they're going to do what i did in a blue state which is get reelected with 61% of the vote and won 70 of independents and 51% of latinos because i told them the truth from my heart. >> moderator: thank you. >> moderator: vice president pence -- [applause] the latest univision poll found that 73% of latino vot

dana perino and harold ford jr. will have analysis of the president's speech, we also have john roberts in jerusalem and peter doocy at the whitemartha: let's go to the white house with peter doocy on the north lawn. good evening, peter. >> reporter: tonight's remarks are expected to explain to the american people why it is that u.s. dollars and in the u.s. troops are critical to wars both in the middle east and in europe. he is not expected the attack maga republicans because now he needs them to vote nearly $100 billion in new funding. back to you. bret: it'll be interesting to see if this sounds like a state of the union address with a list of priorities or more emotional. all think after that trip the he just came back from in israel, or he'll be touching on some of those themes. let's go live now to the oval office and the president of the united states, joe biden. >> good evening, my fellow americans. we're facing an inflection point in history. one of those moments where the decisions we make today are going to determine the future for decades to come. that's what i'd like to talk with you about tonight. earlier this mor

> and dana, his top national security advisers were in that room with him, including antony blinken. they were all in the room, showing what an all hands on deck moment this has been for this white house. i can tell you, the speech certainly was not the president laying out any kind details in terms of u.s. intelligence about the attack, but we have been speaking to, myself and my colleagues, to u.s. officials all day, and they are already expressing concerns about the big question right now, which is, why did these the israelis seem unprepared an unaware that an attack of this size was coming their way? u.s. officials say that, yes, tensions have been escalating over the last several months, but there was no indication that an attack like this was going to happen today, and u.s. officials also making clear that if the u.s. had been aware and had been given a heads up via their intelligence, they certainly would have let their israeli counterparts know, the israelis are making clear right now they did not expect an attack of this size. dana? >> m.j., thank you so much for that report. appreciate it. now, i want to go to the ceo of the anti-defamation league, thank you so much fo

white house was forced to clean them up after him and post tweets that claimed biden was receiving regular updates on th situation from his national security team. danall go to you first. the president promised that the united states would stand by israel 100 percent commitment one, why did it take three days for him to say this, and number two, how long do you think this promise will be good for given the fact that were fair we're headed in kin be extremely long and extremely difficult? >> thought his comments today when he finally made them had some moral clarity to them, i think there was a missed opportunity to not talk about iran, but to talk about good versus evil, to stand with israel, and maybe he could say this, maybe he could say that, he doesn't often do. there was period of about 70 to hours when he was silent during all of that withdrawal and we kept saying why isn't the president speaking? i don't know why he is so slow to do that because i imagine what he said today is probably what he thought initially, perhaps their internal process is one that just takes a little bit of time. another thing i would have made very clear is that any pa

white on war war doesn't matter. so this isn't even about peoplet this is about division and creating hatnge from within. >>n. so it's the jewish race factor and the power factor? >> perhaps. dana one comment on the media y quickly and then on the campuses, one thing you see on the front pages of tall papers p are these photographaps and they're horrific about israel or excuse me, about the gaza innocents who have died and all ofl a sudden it's like the ac attacks that happened against israel are off the front page and that is all you see. one thing happens hamas created the crisis we agree on that. the news organizations are misinforming thenc audience if they say gaza is running out of fuel water and food. nofo. hamas has plenty of fuel water and food. they are denying their own citizensre access to that. so the media should be careful about that, i believe. also, the woman who was just, idf soldier woman who is new no free, we said she had was freed. no. she was rescued.resc so, if you say in the media she was freed you might be led to believe hamas out of goodness let this israeli woman go. she wagos rescued.we they knew how to do it.th the otheinr thing i think it's import

white banging threatening. >> judge jeanine: they would be in jail. first it was unlawful imprisonment. i'm number one it took the police so long to respond. i think the irony as danak, the vibe is there. you have people who are not pro palestine, they're pro hamas. pro hamas means exterminate the jews and that is what kids on campus are now having to confront. and if a college cannot protect the students -- i mean, we want kids to learn things in college. we're so worried about what they're teaching them. we should be worried first about whether or not they'll be safe to go on a campus. that's the number one priority. and, you know, the irony, the other irony is these other kids they needed safe spaces, you know, to prevent the hurt of the micro aggressions and they turn into animals chasing other people because they don't like their ethnicity? this is the united states of america. we are in a pre world war ii moment. this is exactly what happened in europe. >> jesse: it's pretty aggressive. brian, i don't know, it seems incredibly intimidating. how do you feel? >> brian: i just don't understand, do you think they know the vol important deck la is ras cheering for

the white house continues to put out that he has had dozens of phone calls and put out that picture but again we haven't heard from him in person and we will later on today. >> dana: we also brought to you some disturbing observations that the idf has found especially involving the horrific barbarism against innocent babies. we'll get you to our second hour. >> i want also to speak about the responsibility of the u.s. administration, president biden, and the secretary of state blinken has for the lives of every u.s. citizen that is out there and they are responsible to bring the u.s. citizens back home safe and sound. we expect nothing less from the u.s. administration, from president biden. >> dana: families of americans and israelis missing in the hamas massacre breaking down in tears as they describe the chilling moments when they last heard from their loved ones. they believe their relatives are somewhere in gaza and praying for their safe return as are we. welcome to "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. bill hemmer is off today. >> bret: it's a sad day. i'm bret baier. israel says it has regained control of towns near the border with gaza. defense forces p
