Eastern for an internal vote after closeddoor meeting Speaker Mccarthy said he is not running again leaving ohio congressman jim jordan and louisiana congressman Steve Scalise the two declared candidates. Joining the conversation all morning long bullseye Portfolio Manager adam johnson is here, Cheryl Casone is here and Fox News Contributor and columnist for the messenger joe concha is with us. Mornings with maria is live right now. We have breaking news in the middle east, where the 1200 israelis are dead on day five of the ongoing war israelis Power Authority said the sole power plant will run out of fuel within a few hours leaving millions without electricity, President Biden confirmed 14 americans have been killed in a number of others are being held hostage in gaza. The president avoided any calls for deescalation while adjusting the nation yesterday he made no mention of iran. Watch this. We must be crystal clear, we stand with israel. We stand with israel. We will make sure has what it needs to take care of its citizens to defend itself and respond to this attack. There are moments in this life i mean this literally with the. Evil is unleashed on this world. The people of israel live through one such moment this weekend. The bloodied hands of the terrorist organization of hamas the stated purpose for being is to kill jews. This is an act of sheer evil. Maria the president yesterday, joe concha, your reaction. Its hard to work in this business for any american whether you work in this business were not the images out of israel in the unthinkable were babies are beheaded where women are being dragged from their homes and men jacked from the homes, elderly dragged from their homes. The numbers were seen as far as death toll is probably only a fraction by the time this conflict is over which wont have any ending anytime soon and if a faceless enemy which is the problem this is not world war ii or if you know where the enemy is where you have to going to get them. This is going to be something where we have more than 20 americans held hostage how do we begin to get them back. So many questions right now and no good answers. Maria there are reports that hamas killed 40 babies, some allegedly beheaded and they were found by Israeli Soldiers and hamas attacked the village. Hillary vaughn confronted michigan congresswoman Rashida Tlaib who supported the palestinians, she confronted her about the hamas brutality and whether or not she supports israels right to defend itself, watch this. The terrorist have cut off babies heads and burn children alive, do you just support israels right to defend themselves. Were just going to go through. You cant comment about a mosque terrorists chopping off babies heads. Do you condone what hamas has done chopping off babies heads, burn them alive and throwing them in the street. Maria this exchange coming after to leave received backlash after having a palestinian flag outside of her office since at least january. A gallup poll from february shows democrats have more support for palestinians over israel at 49 . American support for israel is at 54 . These numbers, this story is just heartbreaking. What is a surprise with these polling numbers how democrats have changed and what theyre willing to support as far as Rashida Tlaib, real curious if the flag is on her office. I will also say the president yesterday did not mention iran in his address to the nation did not mention iran thats the true story we are learning this morning and will talk about it later that through lebanon, hezbollah has now reengaged with israelis. Nothing about iran, the funding, war is expensive, the training was expensive. You dont learn how to pair glide because youre sending in gaza and youtube it. Thats where the president failed yesterday. As far as the squad, deescalation, really have a israel has every right to defend themselves and i will say the president did make it very clear in soda kg p in the Briefing Room that there is right and wrong israel is right, hamas is wrong. Maria the fact that hezbollah now is widening and broadening the war this is an issue and a question i brought up yesterday. The two groups have long been supported by iran and every lawmaker that joined us yesterday said that. Hezbollah and hamas backed by iran. Mindboggling the only weeks ago on the actual anniversary of 9 11 is a very day the Biden Administration green lit the release of the 6 billion of iranian assets that have been held in south korean banks, mindboggling not only that we did it but we did it on 9 11 and thats why were not hearing anything from the white house about iran. Maria they spent the weekend defended that decision with this ridiculous notion that is only going to be used for humanitarian purse under purposes. Absolutely ridiculous. They say not 1 dollar has been spent, that is not the point. The point you had the capital and you know its coming. Maria is not just a 6 billion this administration has been appeasing iran from day one. Its much more than 6 billion. Were just Getting Started and we have a spotlight on it, senator rand paul will join us in the next hour he will talk about me with President Bidens response to hamas attack on israel and how he failed to mention iran, why not, then diane foley the mother of james foley, she will join us live with her thoughts on this conflict in the nine years since her son was murdered by isis. Dont miss it, mornings with maria live on fox business. Its not just designed to look good. Its built to command attention. Its not just a comfortable interior. Its a quiet refuge. Theyre not just headlights. They light the way forward. The new fully electric audi q8 etron models. Maria will come back israel is prepared to move at all gaza territory. Fox news correspondent trey yingst is on the gaza border with more. Right now were in the car near the israel gaza border we were in a artillery position and soldiers asked us to leave the area they were worried about infiltration from a hamas fighter it appears the area is clear and were headed back to the artillery location but i want to show you what its like on the border as israelis fire inside of the gaza strip, take a look. Right now the Israeli Military is shelling the eastern side of the gaza strip you can see the soldiers behind me, these units are working to clear a path for the Ground Forces that are staging near the gaza border. As this artillery continues so do the airstrikes against hamas positions inside of gaza the Israeli Military says 3000 targets have been hit since the massacre on saturday morning, we also know today in lebanon there was new fire into israeli territory hezbollah fired a tank missile into a group of soldiers and this led to response from the israeli targeted hezbollah outpost this illustrates how close the region could be to a regional war. Back to you. Maria what can you tell us in terms of the plans the israel has in terms of moving in all gaza from the ground. We know that thousands of Israeli Soldiers are staging near the gaza border, 360,000 reservists have been called up by the defense misted and administer. There are tanks in apcs, everyone is prepared for the orders but it is a matter of strategic timing for the israelis and when they will decide to enter gaza and how far they will go we dont know the exact plans of the Israeli Military or the government. We know they are laying the groundwork to do this, that is part of the reason you seen so many strikes. Our concern once they enter gaza itll be a battled environment in guerrilla warfare and engaged in firefights with hamas and islamic jihad. Maria do we know the size of the jihadist, the size of the army there in terms of what theyre going to be up against when they face off hamas and the gaza strip . They have thousands of fighters, they are trained to an extent, they are well armed, they have weapons in the rockets and they will continue to fire into central and southern israel and they have rpgs that can be used against israeli troops. Maria thank you. Trey yingst, stay safe we will check back with you. We appreciate your time, joy to be retired two star marine corps general, author of the ever shrieking fighting force arnold punaro. Thank you very much for being here, your reaction to all of this. Trey yingst reporting. I would like to first associate myself with joe and cheryl at your remarks at the top of the hour. I totally agree as joe said in intense brief that cannot be spoken in its combined with an inner rage at the savage and barbaric conduct of hamas that basically fused together to defy rational explanation, these are not work arms these are crimes against humanity that rise to the level of the trials that went after the nasis for their atrocities in world war ii. Israel, their existence is at risk in the leadership there has no option but to protect their population by basically going as your reporter said theyre going to have to go into gaza and to what are the most difficult military operations that you can have which is conduct in builtup areas with the great military theorist said in those operations the defense has always favored against the attackers which would be israel. We seen the seeds from stalingrad, and vietnam from fallujah, this is going to be an extremely difficult and costly operation but one that israel is going to have to conduct to protect and preserve the state of israel. Maria these are savages, the brutality is unthinkable. My question where are they getting the funding where do they get this sophisticated weapons hamas. We talked a lot about the impact of so many weapons left on the ground in afghanistan. Jevity sense of where the weapons came from theres also an article in the journal about how the militants have been building crypto over the past year, what can you say. You dont need access to highly classified information. All you need is common sense. Iran has organized and trained and equipped hamas, hezbollah, who tease another terrorist organizations in the middle east not for years but decades and with the funding that they have gotten from the sale of the oil which has not been constrained by the sanctions. I think the thing that should be concerned with the level of sophistication as cheryl pointed out as a military operation a combined arms operation by hamas which we rarely ever see with terrorist organizations. Lets make no mistake about it there will be a day of reckoning with iran they enriched uranium passed 90 and again, they are organize, train and equip all the terrorists in the middle east. Maria this is why we have the focus on the president and his comments. He did not mention iran at all yesterday. That is right and did not mention iran with the elephant in the room the funder of terrorism, it is not just hamas that is also hezbollah. There are reports that the israelis have to defend the northern border as well against incoming rocket fire from lebanon. I also wanted to ask you. If you think about how the fighters got into gaza i am thinking by the. Im wondering if that is why because of the issue with lebanon thats why the aircraft carriers are moving into positions often the water because its more about lebanon not so much about gaza, jevity inside of that. I certainly hope with the Carrier Strike group that our government made it clear to iran and has blood and others that should they try to enter the work in a greater effort particularly hezbollah with the rocketry that they have that i do not believe could capture all of them that there would be severe physical and military consequences in the borders have been porous, israel for a number of years has had a policy of trying to contain hamas obviously that deterrent has not worked. Im sure there is sufficient infiltration into gaza for a long time. When you have the continuous borders and the ability for the terrorist to move from iran to syria and to wherever they need the weaponry. Again if the United States has got to make it very, very clear that if iran or has bilotta or anybody tries to widen this conflict beyond israel and gaza there would be severe consequences. Maria Fox News White House correspondent back behind the grill Jake Sullivan yesterday on whether the u. S. Plans to refreeze the 6 billion from the iran prison swap, heres how that went on. We have said since the beginning the iran is complicit in this attack and broad sense because they provided the lionshare of the funding for the military of hamas, they provided training they provided capabilities, they provided support. You laid out all the ways that iran is complicit in this and facilitated the over years of support for hamas. Is that reason enough to refreeze a 6 billion that the u. S. Helped unlock to in exchange for the prisoners. We have not yet had a dollar of the 6 billion spent. I will leave it at that. Maria general, your reaction they continue to claim that not a dollar to 6 billion has been spent despite appeasement of iran from day one of this presidency. They should not only refreeze a 6 billion, they should add it to a funding package that congress should get off its death intent right away to israel the supplies and omissions that they need the United States needs to make it clear not just to israel but to the world that were get into what it takes politically, diplomatically, financially and militarily to support israel no matter how long it takes. This is going to be an extremely bloodied and costly operation, combat and urban operation. They should freeze the 6 billion and give it to israel. Maria will see how the Foreign Policy changes, iran is supporting hamas but china is supporting iran. Thank you for weighing in. Arnold punaro. Well be right back.

What are the reasons Interest Rates are coming in in oil prices coming in, take a look at the price of Oil Investors are cautioned reacting to the were in israel still the price is down about a third of 8 , 85. 65 last trade on crude oil, anderson Capital Management chief Investment Officer peter anderson. Thank you for being here. How does the war in israel affect your thinking in terms of vesting. If i had to make decisions like the fed is making decisions currently it would be very difficult to play this out. We are at the beginning of the conflict. We live through this before with other conflicts like the ukrainian conflict but its a live fluid situation as you been reporting earlier time is ironically our friend in this case. I would think by the end of this month we would have more clarity. But as it stands its difficult to make any logical informed decisions other than staying the course and holding the Current Investments that i had prior to say this weekend. Maria i would get your take on where you think the fed is going to be with rates this week we heard from fed officials, we want to look at the ten year it is pulling and but the feds logan earlier this week said higher yields may mean less need to raise rates. We will keep in mind tightening impact of higher yields. You see a number of people point to yields about 4. 5 saying maybe the market is doing the job for the fed. This morning greater than ten basis points of the ten year ahead of the september ppi which is coming out in two hours time the Producer Price index is out were expected to gain month over month, retail is up 1 and yearoveryear 1. 6 , what is your take on the feds next move the meeting is october 31 of november 1 did the market already make the move for the fed or are you expecting the fed to raise rates, the journal Nick Timiraos rights higher bond yields could prompt the Federal Reserve to extend the pause. Your thoughts. I am not expected the fed to raise rates through the end of this year, that was music to my ears all the signaling that the fed officials have done recently i think is well overdue. I think they are signaling very strongly which is unusual for them and singing from the same hymnal so to speak that they are saying we are perhaps done. This aspect of staying higher for longer is a misnomer. What i would say is normal for longer because any baby boomer who had Mortgage Rate of 8 in the past life i think we have shortsighted on this only looking back to 2007 and comparing Mortgage Rates and saying their awfully high now when you look back historically theyre not very high at all. Maria in a day or so we will look at earnings setting the tone for markets. Adam johnson jumping u. S. Bank profits are set to be higher on Interest Rates but the major banks have been crushed in the last couple months were getting a j. P. Morgan, wells Fargo Citigroup reporting numbers this friday, the stocks are down big going into the reports. It is understandable. People are not taking out mortgages and if youre not taking on mortgages obviously you cannot have bank earnings. Ive actually been buying bank of america because its trading down at book value its a contrarian play are you with me on the banks is there point where you step in and by yourself . I love contrarian plays. One of the things im looking closely at is certainly with rates higher, some of the banks will not do well those have revenues based on Investment Banking activity. However, those based on Consumer Lending when you have higher rates the socalled Net Interest Margin the difference between lending and loaning you will have more wiggle room at a higher rate were when we were down 3 everybody was focused on the rigid thin margin. I do think that banks have a large exposure to Consumer Lending might do very well in this environment as opposed to those focused on Investment Banking. Weve seen a couple of ideals and i think they fallen flat on their face and im not looking forward to birkenstock either i think that might pop and then we will recede. I know Investment Bankers are trying to get the deals done but it feels very forced in a very forced environment right now. Maria the birkenstock deal priced in the middle of the range. Really quick you mentioned housing there are top housing groups right now asking the Federal Reserve to take steps to limit the move and Mortgage Rates we saw the 30 go up to 7. 5 there is pressure building to reduce Mortgage Rates by narrowing the spread between the tenure in the 30 year mortgage, a letter from the Federal Reserve that Mortgage Bankers association and the National Association of realtors and National Association of homebuilders. We will see if the fed resumes purchases of mdf but is there any move on that in terms of bringing the Mortgage Rates lower that is expected to slow things down in the broader economy. I dont think so, theres other parameters why dont we look at the price of housing rather than how much itll cost to buy a house. We have lower prices that would take care of lower Monthly Payments there are other perimeters that i dont think that attempt will be successful. Maria good to have your insights we appreciate your t time. We will take a break, the house in a holding pattern, republican lawmakers will vote for a nominee for speaker of the house as some on capitol hill hope Kevin Mccarthy regains his spot.

The three Year Agreement covers 4300 workers and hourly wage increases waiting from 20 to 25 as well as increases in gms contribution to Company DefinedContribution Plans and to be clear with the strikes the Canadian Workers was an addon unfortunately for gm, ford and stellantis not suffering the same as gm and candida. We are looking actually 5000 workers on the picket lines right now. Maria republican lawmakers will be voting today to elect a speaker of the house this morning at 10 00 a. M. Eastern ohio congressman jim jordan in Steve Scalise made their cases during last night skated a forum. School eason jordan troy to me this week to explain whether the right person to take the gavel. Im the one candidate who can unite our conference and tell the American People what were doing and why it matters to them why it is important to their family and community and small business. Why is important for what were doing for our country. A long history of bringing people together in united republicans and focusing on the issues that we have to address what we came here to do. Ive had a history of Building Coalition in uniting people focusing on getting those things done and Congress Working again and doing it quickly. Maria South Carolina congressman russell fry of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committee in the gop freshman class president. Thank you very much for being here this morning. Have you decided who youre endorsing or supporting for the speaker role. I came out this week in support of jim jordan my Committee Chairman i think you would make a fantastic speaker. At the end of the day as republicans are committing either one of these are suitable for the job. For me personally i think chairman jordan has done an excellent job of guiding the Judiciary Committee when you see him behindthescenes guiding freshmen members setting up a path to make sure were effective in our districts. I think thats what the American People want. At the time we do have the senate or the white house with agencies of the Mainstream Media but we have the American People, people trust jim jordan and he can lasso or harness the wind to provide for our sales he would make an excellent speaker. Maria hes the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, you are also on oversight, you have been investigated the biden family for influence peddling, charges of bribery, where do those investigations stand in the middle of all this news in a war on israel and who would be chairman of judiciary if jordan should get it. I dont know who would become chairman of judiciary i know the staff is continuing to work on this if you saw american first legal had a bombshell report 30000 emails with the National Archives related to Hunter Biden Joe biden in rosemont seneca. They are not just discussing the weather one of the 30000 emails contained was a great victory for american first legal. Maria you think these investigations continue regardless . I think they do Committee Staff people on the committee are very much engaged in the space we need to go about the business of electing the speaker in dealing with iran in the israel situation and we need to continue our focus on these investigations because there turning really incredible sunlight into something that is cloudy for too long so the work will continue but first we have to select the speaker. Maria Kevin Mccarthy was leading the charge, what did he say last night there are reports he told you and your colleagues not to renominate for the House Speaker and some republicans are holding out hope that he will once again be in the race, what did he say last night. That was pretty much it, we have two fine gentlemen running for speaker in either one is suited for the speakers gavel and House Republicans need to select the speaker and go about the business of governing and getting back to work. I think he was very clear even to his most supporters. I dont think there was any wiggle room for interpretation if you will on what he said last night. Maria lets talk about the war on israel i spoke with mike pompeo yesterday, here is a secretary. If you have 6 billion and bound your going to buy yourself whatever you want to buy. The administration is lying, gas lighting the world saying the 6 billion is not going to fall into the hands of terrorist and benefit them. We stripped the iranians of the capacity to move crude oil around the world that had less than 5 billion in Foreign Exchange reserves when we left office, they had over 60 billion of Foreign Exchange they are wealthy flush nation because the body to administration refused to enforce the sanctions that were legally required to do so, put aside the 6 billion that is a fraud. 20 or 30 billion of sanctioned relief, millions of billions profiting to the Islamic Republic of iran they are laughing at the United States because we provided them the capital that allowed them to expand their terror regime and build up their weapons. Maria are we going to see any change in terms of Foreign Policy the president is facing criticism again this morning last night when he made remarks about israel and all the support that the u. S. Is giving israel not once did he mentioned iran. I think youre exactly right in an opportunity yesterday to provide strength and clarity on the u. S. Foreign policy particularly as it pertains to iran he did not do that theres a lot of questions that i have another members have and have had about the 6 billion. Money is fungible people can move these around all the time but when youre constantly pumping up the palestinians and doing thing on the world stage as the secretary talked about with oil that provides an opportunity, this is Common Knowledge and we know the iran funds hamas and hezbollah why would we want to give them the opportunity to continue to do that with the Foreign Policy. Maria today you will vote on the speaker, what is the priority when she get the speaker in place, is it an emergency package for israel, is it the fiscal responsibility at spending levels, ukraine money, Deficit Commission or is this all components of the deal, how do you see it . First and foremost, we need to have a resolution on israel, what are we doing to support her greatest ally we need to be resolute and that. Im not in favor of comingling issues with ukraine, the House Republicans are vehemently overall opposed to combing those issues but we need to support our biggest ally israel and then we go about the business of getting back to work. Maria we will be watching your work. Thank you for being here. Russell fry in d. C. , the mother of journalist james foley is here. Diane foley joins a program n next.

Maria President Biden confirming 14 americans have died in the israel hamas war and hamas is Holding Americans hostage in gaza. The white house says the police 20 or more americans are still missing. Heres what the president had to say about the conflict yesterday. We must be crystal clear, we stand with israel. We stand with israel. We will make sure it has what he needs to take care of its citizens to defend itself and respond to this attack. There is no justification for terrorism, there is no excuse. Maria joy to be the mother of james foley in the James W FoleyLegacy Foundation founder and president diane foley, thank you for being with us this morning, your son james was an american journalist kidnapped in 2012 while covering the Syrian Civil War he was held hostage for 21 months before being killed by isis in 2014. Thank you for talking to us about it this morning, does the war in israel relive all of this for you. It definitely does. It is the same awful hatred coming through particularly targeting of innocents is horrifying. Maria so brutal. How did you get through it. Through my faith and a lot of good people who have walked with me through it all. I think thats the only way any of us can get through this kind of horror. The good has to triumph all this evil. Maria what would you expect from the administration from congress in terms of finding the americans that are missing, how did your situation play out when you wanted answers and needed information. Nothing worked out. It was not a priority to get the americans out. Thanks to the work of many good people and the Foley Foundation is become more of a priority. President biden has said all the administrations since that happened to jim have prioritize this. Im very hopeful that is the highest priority. Maria 146 members of congress writing a letter to Anthony Bliken urging him to do Everything Possible to evacuate americans from israel. How would you do that in the face of such evil and you were up against, your son with isis. Has a lot to do with what our nation prioritizes. It is essential that we prioritize the safety of our people, that is the duty of any government. I feel our government must do all they can to find the american citizens and bring them out as israel must do for their own. Maria tell me about the foundation, this weekend James W FoleyLegacy Foundation holds the ninth annual james w freedom run across the country. How important has this been for you. Its been very important its brought people together to help them realize that americans are targeted around the world. It is reality unfortunately these days and as a nation we need to be aware and have the backs of our fellow citizens. Maria tell me about that, why do you think that is that americans are targeted because of the freedom that we live. It is easy to be jealous, we have freedom that the rest of the world die for to be honest. We are so blessed in so many ways and we need to cherish the freedoms that we have but of course people want to take advantage in their jealous and they wanted for themselves. Maria or dont want it they want the power in the leadership of whatever were talking about. Exactly. As americans we need to be wary when we travel.
