the administration is trying to walk a tight line, jacqui heinrich, white house correspondent has beeneporting administration asked israel privately to delay operations in gaza while messages are given to civilians in gaza city but they officially say they have not asked israel to slow, they have been having discussions around that. they keep doing this back and forth with 6 billion, we have the right to freeze them but we are not freezing gun and privately saying, telling them it's in limbo. what is going on with this administration? >> sometimes politicians will say things for the cameras then something behind closed doors that's not exactly a shock. this week the former secretary of state on my radio show, first interview since his about a week ago and her biggest piece of advice to the biden administration, united states government is not to tell israel what to do or what not to do. they have been attacked in this completely savage way and it's completely unacceptable and israel has to do with that country has to do with our help to some extent to protect themselves and for one ite

first to jacqui heinrich who has just left a short time ago today's briefing. hi, jacqui. >> hi, martha. as you point out, in the span of a few days, the message that we've been hearing out of the pentagon has shifted considerably as our team there points out last week nobody on the record would confirm that iran was behind the attacks on u.s. forces in the region by these proxy groups. now the u.s. is saying that we hold iran responsible. the pentagon today they detailed 13 attacks on u.s. forces over the last week, ten in iraq and three in syria. at the same time, white house officials are being very careful about how exactly they're calling out iran. >> we want to see all measure of protection for civilians and pauses in operation is a took and tactic that can be done for periods of time. it's not the same of saying a cease fire. right now a general cease fire benefits hamas. >> that was the wrong sound bite. we hoped to get to that later on. to continue on, as that sound bite just played out, secretary state antony blinken has called for humanitarian pauses

a grim update about 15, 20 minutes ago, law enforcement telling fox's jacqui heinrich, at least 22 peoplere dead in shootings at multiple locations. one of those locations a bar, another location a wal-mart distribution center, and then an undisclosed third location. we don't know if it was potentially that bowling alley where it appears this man was caught on surveillance camera walking into earlier this evening. all we know is the sheriff's department put those images out saying they are responding to, quote, two active shooter events. again we still don't know if they mean two potential shooters or it was two locations at the time. what we're hearing now is there was a shooting at multiple locations, again 22 dead and nbc news reporting dozens more injured, potentially between 50-60 people. that has not been confirmed by fox news yet. that is some of the reporting that is out there. what we do know, one of the local hospitals out there, the central maine medical center saying they are responding to a, quote, mass casualty, mass shooter event. they did not give any specifics on how many

here is jacqui heinrich pressing and as a spokesperson of john kirby on a grand involvement, watch. >at you consider a direct link. >> what i'm referring to any evidence that we have that they were knowledgeable and aware of these particular attacks. we have not seen anything that tells us a new date, time, method that they were waiting to this. we have not seen anything that tells us they cut checks to support this set of attacks. were they were involved in the training. maria: tiana lowe doescher thank you for joining us. mark tepper, thank you so much. i've got to get your take, this administration is having such a hard time admitting that iran is behind this, why. >> they invested too much into it, this is why you have john kerry and the administration and the blockbuster report that showed iranian intelligence had infiltrated the government at the highest levels and now they cannot met with the wall street journal report proved, the irc signed off on the attack and there's no way they could have done this without the money. i get that the direct u.s. dollar may not of been used t

jacqui heinrich at the white house. what exactly is the president doing, jackie?billion funding request is effectively in limbo in congress until the house has a speaker. however, the president got an assist from senator mitch mcconnell over the weekend trying to convince some of his republican colleagues in the lower chamber that this funding is necessary, especially because it does include the border but so far it has not been enough to tamp down any opposition to folks on the republican side and weary of humanitarian support and continued ukraine funding. listen to what he said. >> about $90 billion and housing refugees travion green escaped from the war and we're providing more military and they're providing more humanitarian and taking care of people that escaped from ukraine during this. i think the nato countries are by in large carrying their load. >> biden ball languaging careful un-waiverring support with israel with concern for civilians and hostages in gaza. fox broke the news last week that team biden privately urged israelis to delay the ground invas

jacqui heinrich is there. jacqui? >> good afternoon. z praised the strikes that he order overnight as a necessary and important step in re-establishing deterrence from this war widening in the middle east and establishing that -- reembellishing that deterrence against any future attacks. a 20th attack on u.s. forces just this morning is now prompting concern from some of those same critics that perhaps the president's strikes did not go far enough. listen. >> the strike in syria overnight was supposed to deter the iranians resulted in another attack. this time a suicide drone in iraq this morning. so clearly it didn't work. i'm concern that hezbollah has looked at that and thought the united states won't act so maybe we will take a risk and go in. >> the pentagon says the action taken last night will not be the last u.s. response if the conditions warrant another one. officials saying immediately after ward, what you saw was us demonstrate readiness to take military action to defend our forces and we're ready to do it again. national se

. >> martha: so just want to mention some breaking news that jacqui heinrich has just reported from the white house. she's reporting that the united states urged israel to delay its ground operation in gaza until safe passage could be security for palestinians and urged them to abide by the laws of armed conflict. the first charter flight has taken off. 100 people have been evacuated from israel by the united states government and also an initial stage of planning, a cruise ship option for evacuees from israel is also underway according to jacqui heinrich. we'll keep you posted there. meantime, let's go to times square where nate foy is standing by as protesters are demonstrating in support of palestine. hi, nate. >> hi, martha. yeah, there's beefed up security here south of times square on this global day of jihad as declared by the former head of hamas. the nypd beefed up their security. the better part of this block is full of pro palestinian protesters. i ask my photographer to pan on the other side of the street. you can see about 40 counter protesters. where we are right now, mart

fox will be in the rose garden, my colleague jacqui heinrich will be there and have questions ready, whether or not she gets called on is the big question. traditionally we have seen that the president has the questioners chosen whether from the associated press, wall street time journal. new york times. given so much concern about the developments overseas, i would expect all my money that this is what the questions will focus on, what is happening behind the scenes, what are conversations happening with israel and u.s. relationship with qataris and the saudis, talk what is happening on the u.s. diplomatic front and over there. >> lawrence: any conversation behind the scene about what they will do to the terrorist strikes our military bases or comba embassies? any pushback from the generals? what is happening there? >> mark: we heard two sides, state department comment from secretary antony blinken at the un. you have to wonder what preventative measures they are taking. there was a ship in the red sea that was able to take out missiles fired from yemeni, obviously the u.s. is well

. >> neil: jacqui heinrich at the white house on that. i want to go to this story that you've probably said. this man was taken hostage last saturday. he's been doing his best to find his mother and make sure she's safe. very good to have you. i'm sorry for this situation you're dealing with. have you heard anything since you've been talking to the media and addressing this? >> thank you for having me. no. the answer is no sadly. we have not yet heard from any government official although we have gotten promises that we will be contacted. >> where was your mother? was she add this festival? maybe you can tell us what happened. >> yeah. my mother just recently retired. saturday morning she was sitting in the porch in our home. just enjoying the morning. this tragedy was unfolding. yes. just a nice old lady on her porch. >> neil: how close was she to where this festival was going on? >> the festival was a few miles away. my mom lives near one of the epicenters for this attack. we are talking about a community of 1,000 people where we have o

welcome to fox news live, i'm jacqui heinrich. >> i'm rich edson. they prepare for a ground attack and that's where we find trey yingst. he has the latest there. >> hey, guys, good afternoon. we've been following the developments all day. a lot of fighting on the northern border between southern lebanon and northern israel. we understand the exchange between hezbollah and the israeli military continues at this hour and on the gaza border, might hear the buzz of an israeli drone. israelis seem to be preparing for what will be an imminent ground invasion. and with juxtapositions in the yield, waiting for orders to move forward and enter the gaza strip. i want to show you what it was like just last night near the gaza border as the israelis continued their air strikes against gaza and a sense how active the scene is and what the explosions look like. >> you can see behind me a large explosion in the northern part of the gaza strip. the israelis continue to strike gaza ahead of an expected ground operation. right now there's a massive rocket barrage com

and jacqui heinrich tweeted that a ground maneuver has been postponed and it is estimated that they are of the u.s. president biden's visit. idf officials criticized the postponement and it allows hamas to prepare better. and so the other thing is, what john was saying that the meeting with netanyahu make it more difficult because what happened in the hospital, i think it is easier because yes, so abbas canceled the meeting with biden. i think -- you can't cancel the meeting with you. i cancel it with you because you need to be out there and telling your people exactly what is happening instead of allowing this lie to pictured -- perpetuate. let's force them to be honest. >> greg: speaking of, screw the u.n., judge. >> jeanine: i agree. and they ought to get out of new york, too. dana, you are right. it is a bold move for the president to go. jaime, i look at it a little differently. i say it is going, it seems very out of character. first of all, he is slowing the israeli army -- army's ability to respond by the simple fact that he is there. and that delays everything. and that delay i

jacqui heinrich at the white house on how it is keeping up with these fast-moving events, including trying to pin the administration on exactly how we handle iran at this point. jacqui, what have you found out? >> after 21 u.s. service members were injured last week in iran-backed proxy attacks. the warning was repeated that if they attack our troops, the u.s. will respond. what we learned today is that the president hasn't yet made a decision on that. >> jen, the president said that if iran or its proxies attacked, he would respond. >> he said that. he said we will -- >> where is the response in repeating the warning is the response? >> come on, jacqui. >> it's not a question. >> i'm not going to telegraph punches from the podium. we have responded and retaliated in the past. quite aggressively in march. as the president said, we will not hesitate to protect our troops and our facilities but we'll do it at a time of our choosing and a manner of our choosing. the decision to do it, if we do it, is has as commander-in-chief. >> so a time and manner of our choosing is what we're hearing now.

jacqui heinrich raised this question today, whether there had been early signals or warnings of this attack last week by hamas, this is from the white house briefing, a few moments ago. >> can you speak to the reports that israel was warned by egypt? >> i can't. >> mccaul from foreign affairs made that allegation this morning saying that was something that members were told around the foreign affairs committee. so has that been discussed at all? is that something you're looking into? >> i can't speak to specific intelligence matters. we have time to look back at this as we always do and we will. right now we're sharpening the intelligence gathering in cooperation and sharing with israel as we should since they're involved in active operations and make sure that they get the tools that they need. >> martha: your intelligence might be saying one thing. john kirby might be holding his cards. the white house has another set of cards. who is right? >> we know the egyptian intelligence did refer this to israel. i can't get into any more depth than that. i do think there was a threat stream

jacqui heinrich asked john kirby what is this guy even doing in the united states, kirby said well, we the united nations, he has to be allowed here. you say that's wrong. >> he's a peace of work and admiral kirby said we are obligated as the united states to grant him a visa. this is untrue. the statute that governs the u.n. visas has an exception and in the past it was for espionage. if you could prove somebody participated in espionage, and so it says espionage and terrorism at that time to keep another iranian terrorist out of new york and successful and secretary pompeo used that mechanism in 2020 to keep another out. so given the fact that the current iranian foreign minister is reportedly participant in the meetings with hamas and hezbollah in beirut when the attack on israel was planned, i think we can define him as a terrorist and it would have been completely insect blinken's authority to deny him a visa. >> john: another quick question, wang yi, foreign minister of china is in d.c., meeting with sullivan and blinken and yesterday the pentagon gave us video of a chinese fight

mike: my colleague, jacqui heinrich, is reporting some of your colleagues want to remove matt gaetz fromgress if the ethics committee finds he does manager wrong. what about that? should he be kicked out of congress if he did something wrong? >> look, i believe -- i let the constituents select who they want to be there. but you're responsible for your behavior when you're in congress. i don't get involved in ethics complaints. i'm focused -- look, we've got 46 more days to get to keep this government moving, secure our border, eliminate wasteful spending, and we only do that if we lock arms together. i'm not going to give up. if somebody in the party wants to stop us from getting the most conservative bill, i'm going to go to the next and the next and the next. mike: you wanted border measures in the package. some in the senate and at the white house wanted ukraine with funding. how does that get resolved? are they linked together? >> look, first and foremost, every american should care about america first. there are more americans dying on our border today than any dying in ukraine. the

first we go to jacqui heinrich with what is happening at the white house. president will bring a package today. >> jackie: the white house believes there is support for multiple national security objectives, sending urgent request for $105 million aid package. the president underscoring why this is necessary investment. >> hamas and putin are different threat, share this in common, they want to annihilate neighboring country. it will pay dividends for generations, keep troops out of harm's way, build a world that is prosperous for our children and grand children. >> jackie: money for israel, border security, humanitarian assistance, but bulk of the money would go to ukraine and expected to of coer them for about a year, votes for small packages has become difficult. some in the senate took issue with the president's delivery. >> why is joe biden going on national television and selling people on a ukrainian escalation when joe biden is talking about the terrible tragedy in israel. it is a separate country and separate problem. what the president did is disg

fox news correspondent jacqui heinrich real spokesperson john kirby yesterday on the administrations americans wanting to leave israel, compared to other countries who have already center military into israel to help evacuate their own citizens. >> mexico has sent planes in and here's the other questions if they send in planes american say the u.s. is studied in planes to help with munitions and other things, cargo planes wire those filled with americans wasn't that the plan would they did and 2020 wanted to get any americans on their my point they don't have a plan because it's a failure in a crisis of leadership in the biden administration. maria: here's how john kirby responded to that, watch this. >> a nation to smaller populations and they have to make their own decisions about how they can handle the smaller populations. in the early hours there was ample commercial flights going out of being gary and certainly viable layout until land routes. part of the reason we are doing this we have good communication with americans and having these conversations that we realize as the sit

now to jacqui heinrich at the white house where the president got a chance to respond to these attacks on american soldiers. jacqui? >> neil, the president seems to have responded verbally. we don't know of any action that he took after we learned that more than 20 u.s. service members were injured in those rocket and drone attacks on u.s. troops in the region since about a week ago. the president indicating that he talked to the iranians and this is what he said. listen. >> troops in the region since 9-11 to go after isis and prevent reemergence in both -- anyway, in the region. having nothing to do with israel at all. my warning to the ayatollah was that if they continue to move against those troops, we will respond. he should be prepared. it has nothing to do with israel. >> biden's critics were outraged that the news of the injuries were not shared with the public until last night. as we have seen, the president has not taken any action we know of to respond to this like he warned that he would. as one member of congress put it, is biden waiting for a service member to be killed be

sources tell our jacqui heinrich that the u.s. had actually urged israel to delay any ground invasion into gaza a until a route out was secured. >> president biden, what worries you about a potential israeli ground invasion? >> death. >> reporter: you heard the president say right there simply death is his biggest worry. that was during a trip to philadelphia yesterday when the president said he did speak with the families of the 14 missing americans. he spoke over zoom, a conversation he called gut-wrenching. >> i assured them my personal commitment to do everything possible, everything possible to return every missing american to their families. we're not going to stop until we bring them home. >> reporter: but, of course, before they can be brought home, they have to be located. many of these 14 may be hostage as of hamas right now. something else i want to mention is that this meeting with saudi arabia's foreign minister the comes at a critical time as saudi arabia is reportedly putting on pause talks that they had with israel

and as gaza braces, sources tell our jacqui heinrich that the u.s. urged israel to delay the action until safe pass passage for palestinians could be can secured. the the biden administration is attempting to locate 14 americans. president biden spoke to the families of the missing yesterday in a conversation he called gut-wrenching. >> to those holding american hostages in gaza, you say what? >> i say we're going to do everything in if our power to the find them, everything in our power. and i'm not going to go into the dedetail of that, but there's -- we're working like hell on it. >> reporter: for americans stuck in gaza right now as you were just speaking with trey about, the administration says it's tracking 500-600 palestinian-americans in gaza who have sought out more information about how they can leave. will, rachel, pete? rachel: thank you very much. will: speaking of one of those american citizens, we spoke to a, an american citizen who is living in israel, and she talked about so many of her family members who have been taken hostage from

white house correspondent jacqui heinrich reporting live from the north lawn.i, jackie. >> hi, martha. incredible press conference. the president repeated the warning to iran not to attack u.s. troops or the u.s. would respond. as you know, that already happened. the president did not seem to indicate that any sort of action has been taken by the u.s. to respond. since we got that news, that more than 20 troops were injured by drone and rocket attacks a week ago. listen. >> we have had troops in the region since 9-11 to go after isis and prevent reemergence in both -- anyway, in the region. having nothing to do with israel at all. my warning to the ayatollah was that if they continue to move against those troops, we will respond. he should be prepared. it has nothing to do with i israel. >> biden's critics said the injuries had not been announced when it happened. we just found out about this last night. the u.s. in the time since has not, as we see, responded. as one member of congress stated, what is he waiting for? for a service member to be killed before ir
