in 2016, the u.s.s.on found itself in a similar situation off of the cost of yemen and fired an sm 2 missile to defend itself against houthi cruise missiles. it was the first time a u.s. warship has fired an sm 2 missile in combat. on sunday, the u.s.s. eisenhower passed through the straight of hormuz. john kirby said the aircraft carrier strike group was there to deliver a message. >> it's targeted at any actor in the region, nation, state or otherwise that may have considerations of widening this conflict. >> the houthis don't seem to be getting the message. interesting to note also that a japanese navy destroyer assisted the u.s.s. mason. three chinese war ships were in the air but did not answer to the 59 distress calls from the israeli tanker. >> martha: thanks, jennifer. with that, we bring in david perkins. thanks for being back to the program. i'd like to start where jennifer just left off with the aggressiveness of the houthi rebels against israeli ships in the region and the fact that china hel

in 2016, the u.s.s. mason found itself in a similar situation off of the coast of yemen and fired a missile to defend itself against houthi cruise missiles. on sunday, the u.s.s. eisenhower passed through the strait of hormuz. john kirby said the aircraft carrier strike group there was to deliver a message. >> we're there to target any actor that might have considerations of widening this conflict. >> the houthis don't seem to be getting the message, charles. >> charles: on that note, you know, obviously we showed strength, we go there and our presence is felt. there's an aura about america's presence. by the same token, these are escalating. at what point do we become alarmed or do we just stay on the defensive and try to swat them away? >> it's interesting, charles, i was looking back at the timeline for attacks that the navy has fielded or intercepted or not responded to from the houthis in the last two to three weeks. the houthis shot down a $32 million reaper drone. there's been no response from tha

the u.s.s. eisenhower joined the u.s.s.d, and they've seemed to have heard the message. >> and i say to the americans, threatening and demonizing us and the resistance in a region are useless. they will not affect resistance move movements. we were told that, that if we operate in the south, that we will not just be bombed, no, there will be bombing iran. >> secretary of state antony blinken thanked the arab leaders from egypt, lebanon, jordan and saudi arabia, who he met with today in amman. >> countries across the middle east and iran have-- to deter any state or nonmachine state actor from opening a front in this conflict or taking other destabilizing action. all of us have a direct interest. >> the qatari government has played a particular role in mediation. u.s. groups and bases continue to be tested with rockets and drones fired by iranian proxies, none have caused serious damage. leader nasrallah made clear in his speech in lebanon that he's not ready to enter the conflict yet, but continued the fiery warnings and in

navy sailors yesterday aboard the u.s.s. mason responded to a distress call from an israeli ship after it was targeted by hijackers off the coast of yemen. sources tell fox news five armed gunmen seized the tanker called the central park and all arrested by the u.s. military. after those arrests, houthi forces then fired two ballistic missiles at the u.s.s. mason. that was described as a major escalation. look at this from the u.s. coalition in response. maritime security is -- we'll continue to insure the safety and security of international shipping lanes. now u.s. troops in the region have seen an onslaught of aggression since last month including 73 attacks by iranian proxies on american forces in iraq and syria since october 17th. >> we've seen several more attacks on our troops in just recent days and again that's unacceptable to president biden, unacceptable to the secretary of defense. we'll protect ourselves. >> amid major fears the gaza war could become a broader regional conflict. obviously the biden team here in

now to kirk lippold, the former u.s.s.on what he thinks of this hostage transfer process. the latest on the houthi rebels. always good to see you, commander. first off on the houthi rebels and the idea that they will be reclassified back to what they were prior, a terrorist organization. what do you think? >> it's a very good decision by the administration to regin that review process. when you look at what the houthis were original, it was a proxy war being raged between saudi arabia and iran between the sunni majority government. what has happened with the houthi rebels is iran is now using them as a proxy group to destabilize the region and continue the pressure upon both israel and now the united states as well. the fact that they're operating in a manner where they're shooting toward israel, which is shooting toward our ships. they're conducting piracy operations. this is more indicative of a terrorist organization, not just a regional proxy war fighting for control of the country. >> neil: you know, we go after these

in 2016, the same navy warship, u.s.s. mason, found itself in a similar situation off the coast of yemen and took the unusual step of firing sm2 missile to defend itself and the u.s.s.ponce against the houthi cruise missiles. the first time it was used by a warship in combat. on sunday, navy personnel on board the u.s.s. mason responded to a distress call from an israeli tanker named central park. five armed gunmen seized the tanker by pulling up alongside the tanker had a low free board, gave the hijackers easy access. initial indication show the five individuals were somali pirates but it's not clear who sent them. the crew had locked themselves in the citadel safe room. the gunmen tried to beat down the door and exited the ship and making their way back to the shores of yemen when they were pursued and arrested them. warning shots were fired by the u.s. navy personnel and a u.s. helicopter gunship flew cover. they are now held on the mason questioned by counter piracy authorities. a japanese ship also helped with the in

mason, and make the u.s.s. central park in the gulf of aden, he says it's assessed were not aimed toward those ships, which raises the questions well, who were the houthis shooting at? we don't know that answer at the moment. >> sandra: interesting. and meanwhile, while dozens of israeli hostages have been reunited with loved ones, including today, many are waiting for that to happen. herch goldberg poland was at the supernova music festival when hamas attacked on october 7th. his arm was blown off by a grenade before he was loaded to a truck at gunpoint. his mother has not stopped fighting for his safe return. rachel, his mother, joins us now. thank you for joining us, i can only imagine what you have been through. what is your message right now as we continue to watch what is happening there and more hostages have been turned over. >> well, first of all, i am actually thrilled with the -- how the progression of these hostages being returned, especially i just saw right now because i had been on calls until i

this is the u.s.s. eisenhower carrier strike group in the persian gulf. again, just in to us, and the commander of that carrier strike group has issued this note. our passage through this important strait and continued presence in the area plays a critical role in maintaining the freedom of navigation, that is key to regional security and stability. your thoughts on these brand-new pictures we are now seeing and what it means for the escalation in the region. >> i give the biden administration credit for deploying the strike vessels and others in the middle east. america backing up its diplomacy and ally israel. but the fact we have not sufficiently responded, whether forcefully enough or frequently enough to iranian proxy attacks erodes that deterrent effect. that runs against us, hurts against us. and look, we now have -- we have the houthis in yemen trying to seize more ships. just a week ago they took an israeli merchant vessel and of course, the iranians has been doing it for years in the persian gulf. when i was in office we set up a program called

yesterday the u.s.s.on, we reported that two ballistic missiles had been fired from the houthis in yemen. one of those missiles felling ten miles from the mason. we heard hood that they're not assessing -- the intelligence does not assess that that ballistic missile was targeting the u.s.s. mason. but that really you'd have to suspend your disbelief to believe that. >> martha: john kirby mentioned that yesterday as well. there was a question about whether or not the intent was a target of the u.s.s. mason. jennifer, thanks very much. always great coverage on this from the pentagon. we'll see you soon. thank you. >> thank you. >> martha: so with billions of u.s. dollars on the line, idf officials meet with senate democrats in washington to rally a polarized party behind israel's war against hamas. democrat senator chris coons joins me next. rs. have you tried getting a home improvement loan at a bank lately? good luck. some of those rates can be 12 to 15% or higher. our rates are a fraction of what some of

you dealt with the u.s.s. cole explosion. and jake sullivan, the terror chief, saying a hamas attack is inspire ago new level of terror threats against the united states. it's worldwide now and a deliberate strategy now. one we're watching and watching out for. >> neil, i think what you're seeing, there's a global dynamic at play right now. clearly you have russia that is in ukraine and we're working with our european allies to contain that threat and make sure that putin is punished for what he did there. we're seeing china threaten taiwan and they have already militarized the south china sea with no penalty from the world around threatening the world by doing that. look at iran. they're exercises numerous proxy groups that they have armed over the years that allow them to be able to project power and destabilize the region to the benefit of both russia and china. russia needs iran. iran doesn't need russia. china needs iran. iran doesn't need china. at the end of the day, iran is the center of gravity. we better start takin

and it's good that you have the u.s.s. bainbridge to respond.uthis are going to start taking ships and sophisticated in how they did it, this isn't like somalia coming out with boats and taking over, these are helicopters landing on board. we are going to have to respond in a manner that sends a clear signal when they attempt to do that, we are going to respond by taking those assets out. if that means shooting them down in order to defend those ships on the high seas, the united states needs to be prepared to do so. >> let's be clear. the amount of sophistication that was involved in this particular boarding of in particular ship went far beyond the normal capabilities of the houthi rebels. it clearly involves a command and control structure by the iranians, does it not? >> absolutely, david. what you're seeing right here are iran's fingerprints all over everything. i mean, both general keane, the colonel as your last guest, the bottom line at some point the united states is going to have to confront iran in what they're doing in supporting the

baton, u.s.s. carter hall, and the u.s.s. mesa verde just south of israel in the red sea. this is our quick reaction force, trained to evacuate civilians in conflict zones. those marines are in a dangerous part of the world at a dangerous time prepared to do a very dangerous job. they deserve fully staffed and focused senior leadership, able to advise the president while also giving the best guidance to their commanders. for four days this week, within arms reach of a war, they didn't have it because of one senator, the slootion is clear and it's been -- solution is clear and it's been clear since day one. the senator from alabama must remove his hold on our admirals and generals. we wouldn't be in this position if it wasn't for him. and he can stop this today if he wants to. if he continues to refuse, it's just too dangerous to wait for him to do the right thing. there is a proposal for the senate to take a temporary change that will allow us to vote on the bulk of these nominees at once. it's designed to put our national security ahead of all else by addressing the dange

the u.s.s.ason a guided missile destroyer belonging to the united states which also operates in the gulf of aden and off of the coast of somalia as part of counterprior si task force responded to that call. when they arrived at the ship they found five armed hijackers on board the ship. those hijackers jumped off of the commercial vessel into a small boat of their own and sped away. the united states missile destroyer gave chase and was ultimately able to obtain the surrender of those hijackers. now, the united states has not publicly identified who these five armed hijackers were, but what we do know is that in the hours after this episode, two ballistic missiles were fired from houthi-controlled territory in yemen in the general direction of the mason. now, those missiles landed harmlessly in the gulf of aden about ten nautical miles away from the ship, so no u.s. injuries no u.s. casualties but for american officials this is sort of yet another concerning signal that houthi militants in yemen

also the u.s.s. missile destroyer shot down a number of drones fired by the iranian backed groups in yemen. the attacks against american forces has not slowed despite the air strikes against them recently. now on a much lighter note, julie, i hate to break it to the good people of massachusetts and the people of nantucket but the first thanksgiving was not in massachusetts. it was in virginia. julie. >> julie: they just go there after. that must be nice. i'm jealous. i have my nantucket necklace on. >> griff: i can't afford to go there. i went to the grocery store and got beat up. i was talking about it with a long time democrat strategist in this town and he says it's costing more. i was looking up the president's menu and i think they will need to add some pep sid a.c. to the list there. it says the biden family will have three types of pie, apple, coconut cream and pumpkin as well as his favorite flavor of ice cream, chocolate chip. so if he gets through the turkey, stuffing and gravy, he will hav

means -- this is -- i think it's interesting in terms of how much consensus thought is built around u.s.ssing. people think there's mortgage lock because people don't want to sell their homes to get into another home with a higher mortgage rate. well, older people don't have big mortgage debt outstanding. they can sell and if you look at markets like naples, 58% of home purchases last year in naples were all cash. all cash. so, people are downsizing, taking equity out. taking some of this $21 trillion of equity out and buying all-cash deals. where this gets challenging is where the boomers have to sell their homes to somebody and that becomes an affordability issue. what's even more challenging is the states that have -- i think are going to have the biggest challenges have older populations. so, all the states in the tri-state area, connecticut, new jersey, new york, pennsylvania, ohio, illinois, they all have older demographics. they have much lower job creation. so, unless they lower their home prices, they're not going to see activity. i think what you've seen is four years where peop

. >> well, aishah, you now have the u.s.s. dwight david eisenhower off the coast of yemen so maybe you'll see some strikes from the super hornets after dozens of attacks on u.s. forces in american bases scattered across the middle east. here in wilmington, it was the white house saying that israel has agreed to the four-hour pause in israeli combat operations in gaza. that sounds like that was news to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu in his interview with bret baier who said he had not committed to that number. >> is that true that there's going to be some stoppage? >> no, the fighting continues against the hamas enemy, the hamas terrorists, but in specific locations, for a given period of a few hours here, a few hours there, we want to facilitate the safe passage of civilians away from the zone of fighting. >> so while netanyahu avoids specifics there, aishah, the israeli defense forces did announce today an evacuation corridor inside gaza was open for seven hours today during daylight hours for civilians to evacuat

u.s.s. mason off the coast of yemen had two ballistic missiles launch evidence its way that notified. they responded to a distress call from a tanker nearby. we've seen more than 70 attacks on u.s. military forces since mid october. more shortly coming up here. first the emotions running high in israel. [chanting] >> bill: these are some of the scenes in israel and the west bank as they see newly freed prisoners. a four-day cease-fire about to run out and find out whether or not the cease-fire is extended. hope you had an awesome thanksgiving. i'm bill hemmer in new york. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." an emotional weekend. a 4-year-old israely american girl abigail edan is free but saw her parents murdered in front of her. hamas let go 58 people. israel released 39 palestinian prisoners in exchange. >> bill: the front page "new york post." safe at last. for some that is true. many more still are left behind. president biden saying he backs an extension of the fou

as i highlight here, positioned in the red sea, you obviously have the u.s.s. dwight d. group in the red sea and beyond, up in the mediterranean, gerald r. ford carrier strike group, a lot happening, mike, and highly unusual we would be getting the play-by-play that we have with the movement of case in point the ohio class submarine. why do you believe this is happening? >> the fact that you've got strategic officials advertising the location of strategic assets defies our playbook and frankly, somebody should be fired for doing just that. think about this. the families of the soldiers and sailors forward don't want their locations advertised to the world, it puts them at risk. and submarines from adversaries in the region, now they know to actively look for the assets. an serious military posture in the region and evidence of that on the screen. also just to show our viewers what we are looking at, as far as the ohio class sub in the middle east, this is a picture of it. november 5th, this ohio class submarine arrived in the u.s. central command capability. what could i

the u.s.s. hamas is ordering 200 gallons of fuel as gaza hospitals are running out.et more fuel in. palestinians civilians are caught in the middle. >> it's devastating. we recently had one of our supported hospitals, which has also struck the third floor of the hospital washit, and we have had to stop operation there is due to a lack of fuel. that's the only cancer patient, hospital in the public cancel patient hospital in the strip. now there is nowhere for those patients. it's absolutely abominable. >> faris, we're about to get interrupted because secretary blinken is speaking as he's leaving for israel. >> with three principle goals in mind, first to talk to the israeli government about the ongoing campaign against the hamas terrorist organization. as we've said from the start, israel has not only the right but the obligation to defend itself and also to take steps to try to make sure that this never happens again. we've also said very clearly and repeatedly that how israel does this matters. we will focus as well on steps that need to be taken to protect civilia

in oakland people can reserve a spot to travel the bay on the u.s.s.tomorrow morning. and sally tomatoes is hosting a benefit concert at noon tomorrow. and at 10:00 in the morning, a three-hour guided kayak tour. >> that's cool. >> a lot of fun stuff there. >> you've got the parade in san jose, and then also in petaluma we've got some veterans day events going on tomorrow as well. i want to show you that forecast for the parade in petaluma and parts of the north bay. we're going to have a beautiful day, i don't know if it gets any better than this, it's going to be so comfortable with our highs in the upper 60s, nice and sunny, and then going into the rest of the day just enjoying time out and about, we're going to see those temperatures cooling down, right around sunset to the low 60s, and then dropping down to the low 50s. so, today we're seeing a mix of sun and clouds, our temperature is headed for the 60s and 70s once again. and we'll see some of the same temperatures this weekend as we stay dry, and also continue with the mostly sunny sky. we are

in oakland, people can reserve a spot to travel the bay on the u.s.s.30 in the morning. and in rohnert park sally tomatoes host ago wings for america benefit concert at noon tomorrow. in sausalito, starting at 10:00 in the morning there will be a three-hour guided kayak tour. there you have it. >> that's nice. >>> and happening today lace up your skates, a popular east bay ice rink returning today. >> yes, we're talking about the christy yamaguchi holiday ice rink in san ramon. the big scissors cut the ribbon. funds from tickets sold go to support yamaguchi's always dream initiative, providing books for underserved communities. the rink will be open to the public until january 7th. tonight's ribbon cutting ceremony kicks off at 6:00 p.m. >> rob maeda was there with her. >> that was last year's event. >> what else is happening. >> the oakland zoo. >> glowfari. >> the holiday spectacular is back. glowfari begins tonight. hundreds of animal-themed lanterns, tells the story of wildlife and the importance of conservation, you'll see new lanterns this year li

. >> dana: the u.s.s. eisenhower carrier strike group is going to the persian gulf to deter having them make future attacks. >> bill: it hasn't worked yet. trey yengst in southern israel. it is just about nightfall. what do you have? >> good morning. there is a real concern on the ground in israel what's taking place, the continued rocket fire and ground operation into the strip could be the beginning. a lot of activity on the northern border with hezbollah and understanding that hezbollah is quickly climbing that escalation ladder. then you have iranian proxies in places like syria, iraq and yemen that continue to fire on israel. earlier today there was a -- my cameraman pointed out another air strike it appears, you can hear it right there. a very massive air strike here along the northern part of the gaza strip. he will push in there. it is getting dark. that appears to be a large bomb. a bunker buster likely used by the israelis to target the tunnel system that hamas is maintaining. quite a bit of smok

the president did not call the crew of the u.s.s. gerald ford. it's in the mediterranean.e group should have been home for thanksgiving back in norfolk. >> kevin: thanks, lucas. by the way, if you'll allow me, wonderful job in your reporting over there in israel. stay safe when you're back over there. we want to welcome in stephen moore, former trump economic adviser and co-founder of the committee to unleash prosperity and chief economist at freedom works and doug is also here. steven, first to you. look, we all know the old adage, it's the economy, stupid. i think the white house can at least point to some progress over the last several months, gas prices are on the decrease. i think if food prices will ever begin to come back down and recede a bit and just maybe if interest rates can maybe take a break from the constant rising by the fed, they can point to some victories here, no? >> yeah, look, there's no question the economy is better than a year ago when we had 9.2% inflation. we brought that inflation down to about 4%. that is still way higher than the american peop

. >> three responses to now 61 attacks the former u.s.s. cole commander. and one of these proxies, the houthis, behind the attack on you in 2000, they're still active and viable and being advanced by iran. what do you make of it? >> when al-qaeda attacked us, that's slightly different than the houthis. nonetheless, they're making attacks against u.s. forces. they are not taking direct action against us, they shot down a drone and u.s. navy reacted with defensive measures to shoot down weapons by the houthis. a larger consideration, neil, i don't want to give credit where it's certainly not due yet because the response so far by the biden administration has been weak, but perhaps it may be that the u.s. wants to get an overwhelming number of forces into the region before we react in any manner that may go to the source of the problem, which is iran. neil: to go to the source of the problem, that means making a strike against iran itself. do you think we're poised to do that? >> i'm not sure we're poised right now, neil, it's always prudent to be ready to do

as it relates to u.s.s. carney, what we know is that those missiles were in the vicinity of the carney, so they took appropriate action to take them down. but the broader point here is, again, we know that they have this capability, the missiles that can reach targets in israel and as you saw earlier this week, israel took one of them down. as it relates to israel missile defense and air defense, i refer you to them. >> [question inaudible] >> i don't have that information. >> do you believe israel's response so far has been proportionate? >> i'm not going to speak about israel's operations. you've heard us say that we continue to talk with them about the importance of applying the laws of wars, which includes taking into account civilians on the ground. you heard us talk about the challenging situation they're in as it relates to hamas and and their command and control modes, rockets, tunnels deeply embedded underneath gaza. all wrapped around innocent civilians. i don't think we can question the complexity

last month on october 19th, the u.s.s.shot down 15 drones and four cruise missiles fired from the houthis during a nine-hour time span. the rockets intercepted by the carney were heading towards israel. they had the capability to travel more than 1,200 miles. neil? >> neil: thanks for that update. let's go to general frank mckenzie. commander, very good to have you. thanks for taking the time. there's growing frustration here that these constant groups around and financed by iran that manage to attack u.s. soldiers as i said 57 times now, and our responses are a fraction of the attacks. do you think that that is a problem and that is why iran keeps leading these attacks and funding them? >> the iranians want us to leave the region. they try to do that by increasing our level of pain to where we will make a decision to do it. the fact that we brought significant combat forces in to the theater last month sends a clear sign to iran, the fact that we're beginning to strike back is also something that they'll have to take a lo

i would add that the mason is attached to the u.s.s. eisenhower strike group which the president dispatched to the region specifically to address the increase in the tensions. >> any possibility that americans will be among the 20 released? >> we hope so. we're going to watch this very, very closely. we're hoping that another batch of hostages gets released today as part of the fourth and final day of the original agreement. we're going to be watching closely to see if any americans are in that group. as it has come out over the last three days, we don't really know until you get into the end game who's going to be on that list then even then, you've got to watch closely seeing who's on the list is folks that actually came out. so we're watching and hoping. >> you spoke about the president's conversation at a critical moment to break that impasse. >> it came down to, over the weekend, it was more about the list and who was on it and i don't want to get into more detail than that. it's a similar issue than what we faced today. the reason

heading towards it according to the statement we got yesterday in the red sea, and then on sunday the u.s.st least one ballistic missile was heading towards it. but these are not deemed the targets of these houthi missiles. so my question is, if -- what makes these not considered targets, what is the target, why are these not being considered attacks like the attacks in syria and iraq because the iranian proxies are missing there, too. >> i don't know that we would say these are not attacks, we are taking action if they are a threat to us. but target, initial assessments with what the mason took down and the carney took down, our initial assessment was they were not the intended target but came close enough the carney felt the need it had to engage the drone coming its way or headed toward, in the general direction. and i'm sorry, you had another question in there. >> i guess just to pinpoint it a little bit more. if it not the intended target, then is it an attack or not an attack? >> well, again, i refer you to the -- to the people who are launching these drones or missiles. what they're

the u.s.s. eisenhower carrier strike group is hanging out in the persian gulf.his drone continued to fly over and near it, at one point getting within 1,500 yards of the carrier. the u.s. navy continually asking it to pull back, to move, to leave. the calls were not returned according to a statement out of u.s. navy central command the the military now calling this an unsafe and unprofessional action. i will say it's not that uncommon for the iranian military, the iranian navy, even the revolutionary guard force to interact with u.s. military ships and aircraft in that region. what's concerning here is the timing. it comes as these iranian proxy forces in the region have been carrying out attacks on u.s. bases in iraq and syria. tensions are certainly very high there, ana. >> courtney kube, thank you very much. >>> doctors around the world are now keeping a close eye on a surge in respiratory infections among children in china. it's filling up pediatric hospitals and clinics across northern china and beijing, but this morning, medical authorities cautioned this

u.s.s.s angeles attack submarine spent six years ashore before she was going to be overhauled, it took rickover to put the nuclear in place, i would have preferred diesel, electric, air and propulsion submarines and the those worse. who is rickover, the ceo, or joe biden and the next president going what the hell is happening and who is the ceo on the pillar two side or do we have a whole of government approach and everybody has some responsibility, but nobody has authority? >> i will say overall, you know, it's certainly a-- as i said, it's a whole society approach, but you know, we have -- we have the administration right now of course, as i-- president biden is very, you know, obviously wants in to succeed and wants to succeed -- doe, congress, we have the whole of government and the administration side really pushing for this and really wanting it to work, so, i would say we're led by the president and we are all committed to this and we all want to make this work. so in terms of the cha
