joining us now is republican senator marco rubio of florida. vice chair of the senate intelligence committee. senator, thanks so much for joining us. so you've seen the top intelligence. what should we as americans be prepared to see when a ground invasion happens which we are all preparing ourselves to witness? >> well, i think, never commenting on intelligence specifically, but i think much of the commentary that you've seen out there and what people are saying, to try to root out hamas. the israelis have the ability to do it especially with our resupply role we'll play. it won't be an easy task. no doubt hamas has booby trapped the place and they're hiding behind civilians. we've seen the reporting just today open source media about how they're preventing civilians from moving and getting people out of the way and it's part of the tactics and related to that is what is hezbollah and behind them iran planning to do as a result of this as this moves forward and as this goes on and wars are painful, difficult things. they're not pleasant. they'

the read on this from senator marco rubio.usly things have escalated to the point right now where the attack or at least part of it seems to be on. what do you think? >> well, there's no doubt that israel has to go on the ground. i've said that publicly at some point. the goal here is to completely dismantle the ability of hamas to ever again do anything close to what we saw them do a week ago. this is a group that openly says -- we need to remind people as often as we can, this is not a group fighting because they want to govern gaza or they want a country, this is a group fighting because their stated purpose is to drive every jew out of the region and to set up a fundamentally islamic state from the red sea to the jordan river. they want to take every jew out. it's a bad idea to have any 0, any sayings to slaughters babies to be in charge of any land much less a whole country. but that's israel's neighbor across the way. it's unsustainable. no nation on earth would tolerate that. that group needs to be dismantled. the only

joining us, senator marco rubio, republican of florida and vice chair of the senate intelligence committeer, thanks so much for joining us. obviously this was an intelligence failure, most importantly, of course, it was a brutal, hideous, terrorist attack. obviously, in addition, it was an intelligence failure. what went wrong do you think? >> first of all, i don't characterize intelligence in general, certainly not american intelligence, the israelis, their officials admit they were caught by surprise. that's a process they've had to go through. they eve done that in the past when they've had failures. now they need to win a war and destroy hamas. then that moment will compliment we'll have to go back and see if we missed any signs. no one can tell you it was going to happen on this time and on this day, but what we have known is that, number one, there is no hamas without iran and iranian support. number two, hamas trains, prepares and aspires in which it can bring about the destruction of the jewish state of israel. those things were known. obviously there were signs missed about an imm

to senator rubio, marco, thank you for agreeing to this evening's discussion. to look back at how this started, we agreed to the agree act in 2011, five different ideas we wove together to challenge our parties which at that time were already showing -- pieces of that agree act had to do with protecting our inventions and our innovations from chinese predaition. i largely agree with senator rubio that china is the leading challenge to the american way of life. to our security. to our inventions and innovations. to testing our global standing. they have engaged in death trap diplomacy through the belt road initiative. they are threatening our supply chains and access to everything from pharmaceuticals to semiconductor chips. as i came into the senate i was leaving eight years in a manufacturing company and i knew all too tellwell how chinese theft of our inventions, our trade secrets, was a critical challenge. so one of the very first bill us got involved with was teaming up with then-senator orrin hatch to pass into law the defend trade secrets act. it was base

senator marco rubio you were speaking with earlier.e described the end goal for hamas is the annihilation of the jewish state of israel. that tells those trying to secure the release of these hostages that they're not dealing with rational actors. in any type of hostage situation -- obviously this is on a much larger scale than any of us have ever seen -- you try to identify what are the motivations of these attackers that could bring this to a resolution. it puts authorities in a much more difficult position. i will note that now is the time for other interested parties in the region, other middle eastern countries ideally to come forward and try to assist to bring this to an end. i know our colleagues have report thad the qataris have offered to marshal resources to that end. as we've seen with all this bar barrism, we do not live in an ideal world. >>> a 3-year-old girl was among the hamas hostages. she is one of the lucky ones. she ane and her father escaped. the mother d not. just ahead, another family member. we're going to tell

the legislature passed by senator marco rubio of florida the administration is pre-authorized to meet any need israel could possibly express in this particular phase of the crisis. my expectation is we will elect speaker designate jim jordan as house speaker next week and move forward with resolutions of support. those are non-binding exp expressions of our opinion when it comes to the movement of the intel and we are pre-authorized because our relationship with israel is that unique. >> how do you think jordan crosses the finish line with 217 if there were 55 votes against him as is being reported, you were there, 55 votes against him in that ballot last night. >> initially there were 81 votes against jim jordan and 30 minutes later there were only 55 votes against jim jordan. on that trajectory he seems to be gaining a good amount of momentum. those 55 votes on jordan were on a secret anonymous ballot like the basement of the office building. it's a second thing to stand on the floor and vote against the second most popular man in america. i know how hard it is. i did it to extract

[applause] >> senator marco rubio here. thank you for the opportunity to speak you today at a special want to thank don nickles, joe lieberman and frank wolf. or than two decades ago you wrote the legislation that would make the u.s. commission on international religious freedom our reality. and in doing so you laid the groundwork for a committed and clear eyed advocacy on behalf of of the persecutor. that of existence a lot of good over the years. unfortunately, we didn't now more than ever. on the seventh of october of this year was the deadliest day for jews since a holocaust, and in today's up followed we saw the ancient voice of anti-semitism rear its ugly head once again. we sought in middle east where supporters of loss cheered the slaughter, the rate, the mutilation, the kidnapping of innocent israelis. and tragically we've also seen here in america with our own college students often defending the terrorists. and that's that all the religious oppression is on the rise in china, nicaragua and nigeria in many other p

>> israel, fortunately, there are funds that are pre- appropriated thanks to people like marco rubio that put that initial 10 year package together. this is unprecedented and unexpected. there are a lot of supplies that are needed. a lot of ammo that needs to be replenished. the ability to confront lebanon. this is an incredibly sophisticated assault on israel. this is not anything close to ukraine. they are totally separate. not even a fraction of what we are spending on ukraine needs to go to israel. they do need some small, you know, digit billion-dollar aid whether it is one, two, $3 billion, but it is nothing like ukraine. >> the abraham accords. something that you work intensely on under the previous administration seems ready to expand with the saudi government do you think that that is now finished? part of the motor vacation for this was hamas seeing the region with israel. leaving the palestinians for a two state solution behind. >> there is no question their fingerprints are all over this. normalizing saudi arabia. iran did a good job here with putting the talks on the bac

trey: the congressman as he often does produce finger on something in 2016 ted cruz, marco rubio keptting to be a one-on-one because they thought they could beat trump one-on-one i'm not sure they could have but that's what they thought. is that what they're doing trying to whittle it down to a one-on-one. >> first of all i agree 100% with what harold said. i try as a reporter to not watch the events inside a room with other reporters or sitting home alone i try to watch in a bar and get an understanding of what voters want. american voters never clean to the idea that somebody is and evitable. so sitting around with different people and watching them react, while i agree it was a food fight in for much of the debate they also saw the candidates have moments where they connected with him into harold's point think it's very important to have purpose when your candidate if we remember back to 2007 or 2008 barack obama was flailing against hilary clinton and he was struggling in the polls and she was inevitable. however, once he developed his purpose which for him was hope and change ame

will they be able anticipate what trump says, like christie did to marco rubio in the 16 debates? and then if you anticipate can, you take advantage of it? so i think the fact that these politicians so frequently filmed and so frequently recorded gives their opponents a lot of material to work with in order to prepare how to deal with them. question right up front here. oh, okay. thank you. you mentioned we talk lot about the pop culture of the 20th century and 21st century presidents. and i know pop culture looked different the 19th century, but are there any interesting stories or any thoughts about pop culture and their either their influence on or influenced by 19th century presidents? i'm so glad you asked that, because i spent a lot of time on it in the book and usually when i have these kind of panel discussions, it's mostly people asking about the 20th and 20, 21st century. so the interesting thing is that in the 19th century, so many of these options that were empowered by technology don't exist. you don't have tv, you don't have radio, you don't have popular music to the

donations coming in we talked about the chinese through the confucius organizations on campus and marco rubio did a lot to bring attention to that and get communist out of a universities in the foreign donation form, here's a look at donating, $6.6 billion coming from foreign countries into our university, this figure is from 2020. >> as of 2020 mostly in the last 20 years mostly a last 20 or 30 year phenomenon, are these the countries you want influencing ideologies into her youngest kids. >> were talking about the hospital in gaza and the targeting of hamas leadership, hamas leadership is in qatar. >> qatar is a big fighter. >> there alongside saudi arabia what are the biggest double talkers they will try to entice the west by saying visit us, but see modern america while also avenue with radicals that say they want to attack as hamas be the primary example of that. you see the protest on college campuses and their making the case about the political dynamics, ultimately when you see images like that, the chance that they are making, if you're trying to make a statement about civilians and

however marco rubio is. and he said that while the united states needs an ambassador to israel, it needs to be the right person. so you can read between the lines there. seems like he will endure some pretty tough questioning. and maybe push it down the road, maybe make it late october before there is a con tir nation vote. but certainly the unanimous consent as they say that you mentioned doesn't seem to be in the cards for crack lieu. >> and we should -- for folks aren't as steeped in the process as we are, unanimous consent would be all 100 senators signing off and saying you can do this really quickly. if they don't, he has to go through the normal process which takes a while. democrats are saying that we need an ambassador. fair argument. i'm curious, have you picked up on any signs that there are any democrats with concerns about jack lew's nomination? chuck schumer obviously is a very strong supporter of israel. he was there over the beak end. he is jewish himself. and i remember asking questions of h

administration, from giving visas to people with palestinian passports, joe what do you make of this marco rubio pushing administration to cancel any existing visas for any foreign national supporting hamas. >> right on money, problem is biden administration has erodeed the infrastructure, of how we would even enforce regulation at our southern -- even northern border having this idea is fine, by the way, not even outlier position if you look at egypt look at jordan both countries have significant hesitation in taking in palestinians for the des stabilizing impact we are in cahoots with some arab nations surrounding gaza i think right move but, again, implementing this infrastructure on the border, going to be the significant challenge, for the federal administration. maria: i mean liz look at risks threat at the border not just the special aliens coming from all different middle eastern countries but increasing chinese nationals chairman of the house homeland security committee mark green told me he believes these people are directed by xi jinping, military aged men so they can settle in americ

senator marco rubio says there should be legislation against this in some cases. >> you do not have a first amendment right to argue on behalf of a terrorist organization in this country and we most certainly should not be subsidizing with federal tax dollars that are paying with student aids so that these wac coahuiltecans -- whackos can go to school. molly is live for us, really, they were among the first with all of those groups on campus who were pro-hamas, molly. >> reporter: yeah, universities fail to respond in the attack of israel are faciing backlash fro major donors. this one takes back to pen. the huntsman foundation will close its checkbooks on future giving to penn. more relevantism has fueled the university race to the bottom and reached to the point where remaining impartial is no longer an option. the only response should be outrage condemnation and silence is anti-semitism. the very thing higher ed was built to obligate. noting the university does not endorse their views and writing the book, she and the university are horrified by and condemned hamas' terrorist and t

florida senator marco rubio joined me on this program just a few moments ago to assess this war. watch. >> the situation in israel is as follows: they are right on their border in a territory, they're caught in gaza a bunch of pa gnat call savages -- that that the call savages. the reason why they exist is to destroy israel, drive every jew out of the middle east, they have massacred babies, teenage girls and innocent civilians. they can no longer coexist. i argue they never could despite some of the so-called experts saying hamas is a group you can work with. maria: christian whiton with us the morning. your reaction, christian. >> i i think there are a couple of things going on that really make note. first of all, contrast what is going on with israel. they're warning civilians to get out of the way. and in doing so, creating more risk for themselves. they are basically saying we're coming in to gaza city, get out, and that tells the enemy what you're to going to do. but israel's willing to do that to help preserve civilian life among their notional enemies here in contrast to

joining us now republican senator from florida, marco rubio, the vice-chair on the senate intelligence committee. senator, to start, the scale of the evacuation that would be necessary here that's being called for is extraordinarily complex. are you concerned about the kind of burgeoning humanitarian crisis that may develop? >> well, i think if that does develop, it will be hamas' fault. this is the playbook they have run repeatedly. they attack israel, kill a bunch of jews and retreat to gaza, hide behind human shields deliberately. they have been messaging for days when they had their tv network and radio stations telling people not to leave their homes. they hide behind civilians. then the attacks come in response and unfortunately people die and then they run to the global press and say look what horrible things israel is doing and everyone pressures israel to stop, hamas stops, they come back and kill more jews again. that's the pattern that repeats it several. for days israel from the beginning has been messaging that and they take extraordinary steps to try to avoid it, but when

here's marco rubio on sunday here on fox. >> hamas is deeply embedded. they hide in tunnels.amas. the islamic jihad and other groups involved. this is going to be a complicated process. i think israel with our support has the ability to carry out the job. it's going to be painful. it's going to be costly. >> bill: do you think the israelis have a good since where these hostages are at the moment? is this still a mystery? >> when you have that many miles of underground fighting at tunnel systems, i think we have to be realistic about what we're asking. if this was 1944, we would send 17-year-old in a tunnel system flflamethrower. we're looking at the gentler way of fighting. no matter what international groups want to do in blue ribbon commissions want to do, combat is nasty. we're not put on this earth to hurt each other. there are folks, there is evil. we've seen it. we saw for 20 years in the war on terror. israelis are dealing with it today. the only way to pacify that evil is to take it out. this is the situation. they brought this fight. we see active shooters far too of

marco rubio has been saying that there are about $3 billion available previously approved for the presidentof pressure on these republicans to come together today and pick a speaker. listen to what congressman garcia said earlier today. >> everyone in the party should realize there's a national security imperative here to fill this seat. put aside your political and personal differences and get on board for the big win. >> so here we go. the test happens in about ten minutes, sandra. >> thanks. aishah hasnie. thank you. bret? >> as we said, any additional aid for israel up in the air as congress struggles to elect a house speaker. let's bring in shannon bream, "fox news sunday" anchor and chief leal correspondent. it's a mess. the 217 number is the magic up in. it's always about the math. right now it does not seem like jim jordan can get there, at least behind the scenes that's what we're hearing. >> and i reached out to folks from different wings of the gop that would align in different ways. i didn't get any sense that they would come to something that they can coalesce around. as aishah

to the senate where you are and it's there that i view people like you and senator mike lee and marco rubioul, you guys would fight for fiscal responsibility in the senate an finally, the pressure needs to be there because that's where all these omnibus bills end up coming out of anyway, aren't they? >> yes, i think that would've been a much better path for us to go down. as you know, chip roi was my very first chief of staff when was newly elected to the senate. i'm proud of the job chip is doing and i think he shown smar conservative leadership in the house right i think if we pass the cr that chip and other conservative champion, it would be a much better outcome than where we are today. i have to admit, sean, and i wa listing to europe monologue, th frustration you're expressing, understand. i think i filled many of the sentiments of the conservatives across this country are feeling. the house of representatives is the one bright spot we've got. we've got a democratic radical left-wing administration. the one glimmer of hope as the republican house, so setting here tonight, i don't like

we'll talk to senator marco rubio who was at the hearing. >> live to the southern border as a growing number of special interest aliens as the government refers to them are crossing into the u.s. how president biden plans to address the nation's homeland security concerns tonight in his address. >> dana: hamas pushing the narrative that israel is behind the hospital bombing in gaza. dem squad members are putting the blame on the biden administration. >> people think it's okay to bomb a hospital. president biden, you need to wake up. not flossing well? then add the whoa! of listerine to your routine. new science shows listerine is 5x more effective than floss at reducing plaque above the gumline. for a cleaner, healthier mouth. ahhhhh. listerine. feel the whoa! this is american infrastructure, a prime target for cyberattacks. but the same ai-powered security that protects all of google also defends these services for everyone who lives here. ♪ i've struggled with generalized myasthenia gravis. but the picture started changing when i started on vyvgart. vyvgart is for adults with genera

. >> he was made out for senator marco rubio. >> senator, when you see hillar get gas like that, whats that tell you to change it's th culmination of -- like it had become a slogan, peace and strength. actually israel and is more rea in the middle east than any other part of the world. if you look at it from the moment joe biden takes over we get one on ben barris and pe pete -- in the end it was building we got run out of th there. then you have -- when israel wa going through its internal fractures, as politics was goin on, the perception of the world was that the united states were going against nonnuclear didn't like him, at least under joe biden that was the case to be the first thing he did when he got business i want to deal wit iran and sensory desperation to get a deal. trainees get mixed messages, on one hand they give these press releases and press conferences about being tough. on the other there begging to d a climate deal with them and trying to the escalade and so forth. all these things messages weakness and they invite adventurism. and all began to collapse upon itsel

they voiced concern, marco rubio, rick scott, ted cruz, watch this. >> in the case of mr.rns he misled and lied to congress in the past in terms of financial arrangements made under the obama administration. this is a dangerous situation. >> i'll do everything i can to prevent him from being the acambassador. he supported the iran deal there is no way he should be in there. he's an appeaser, no different than what biden's been doing. >> democrats have been screaming at republicans that we don't have an ambassador to israel. that is the fault of democrats because they never scheduled a hearing. the democrats control the foreign relations committee they scheduled a hearing, they're screaming at republicans that they wouldn't schedule a hearing on the guy. maria: i don't know how important this is in terms of the war right now. what's your reaction? >> a couple things. one, those are really tough words and it makes it hard to get confirmed but this is a point where you need a u.s. ambassador in the position so i hope they'll sort it out quickly. the iran point is particularly

and we are expecting the president to request more aid as early as a next week although senator marco rubio that there are some funds already available for israel right now that the president can draw down from are. >> they are guaranteed every year $3 billion every year between now and 2028. so that's already in place. we're not starting from zero here. i think what will happen at some point as this unfolds is israel may have some specific munition needs that they need resupply, and i think you'll have ample support in the konked to do it. in the congress to do it. >> reporter: there is chaoses in congress right now. the senate has its own drama. senator john fetterman is calling on the full chamber to expel former senate foreign relations chairman bob menendez after a superseding indictment accused him of being a foreign agent of egypt. it's a huge, huge concern here on the hill because egypt is now caught up in this mideast turmoil. the white house acknowledging yesterday it is a serious matter for the president. the biden administration though, meantime, is also facing growing calls to
