update from the state department as america's strongest ally in the middle east faces growing calls worldwide to retreat from gaza's largest hospital. >> sandra: the idf saying troops are still going room by room at al-shifa hospital and have found extensive military equipment belonging to hamas, as well as computers that contain photos of the israeli hostages that could be beneath the hospital in an extensive tunnel network that we have been showing here on the program. we'll take you there live as the briefing begins in moments. >> the folks and democratic leadership have not been listening to the 80% of us from diverse communities to stop the ceasefire and stop the genocide. >> sandra: violent outside a dnc headquarters last night, israeli troops inch closer to attacking the tunnels under al-shifa hospitals. i don't know roberts in washington. here we go again, sandra, another busy afternoon. >> sandra: "america reports". more than 150 protestors voicing deep frustration with president biden and top democrats for supporting israel, forcing capitol police to evacuate democratic lawmakers from inside the building and even placed the capitol on lockdown. >> john: fox team coverage from around the globe over two hours, and breaking news from the war in the middle east. we are going to start with griff jenkins, live outside the dnc headquarters here in washington. what started all of this and i understand that it has not stopped, that a protestor confronted a democrat moments ago. >> that's right, john. just moments ago, a protestor confronting a democrat member of congress, get to that in a moment. let me show you where the chaotic scene started just behind me, the doors of the dnc just a block and a half or so from the capitol buildings, that's where 200 protestors locked arms, blockading the door, wanting to talk to democratic members they knew were inside and devolved into absolute mayhem. what a contrast it was, john, if we compare the protests we have seen this week on the mall, the pro israel protest, some nearly 300,000 down there. peacefully protesting. and here the scene of the dnc behind me, a small group clashing with the police. these protestors were demanding a ceasefire and also engaging, punching, cursing capitol police officers forcing the u.s. capitol to lockdown and evacuation of lawmakers inside the dnc behind me. congressman brad sherman spoke a little while ago. take a listen. an these were violent demonstrators, they assaulted police officers, they punched police officers, they pepper sprayed them and these are the capitol police. these are the people who saved democracy on january 6th and such a shame to see these people attack the capitol police. >> as you mentioned just moments ago, shortly after the interview with sherman, a protestor eva from the group confronted him and wanted some answers. watch this. >> sir, sir. what is the strategy to -- what is the strategy to do that? there is no plan. >> i have to get your organization to call for hamas to disarm. >> sir, call for netanyahu to stop saying they are going to raze gaza to the ground and they are fighting human animals. >> and john, the u.s. capitol police issuing a statement, we have handled hundreds of peaceful protests but last night was not peaceful. members of congress were in the building, police also say pepper sprayed the officers. six officers were injured, one protestor, 24-year-old man from new york was arrested for assault on an officer. the protest groups, by the way, issuing their own statement, john, saying that the police violently attacked them and that 90 protestors were injured in the process. john, we'll send it back to you. >> john: let me back up there, griff. i thought i heard you say one person was arrested? >> that's right. just one arrest, 24-year-old man from new york was witnessed punching a female officer, according to the police, and it's a bit of a surprise with so many people out here violent in the streets behind me, and only one arrest. we reached out to the capitol police for a comment why just one arrest, they told me "correct." that's all they had to say. john. >> john: all right. you've got it right. as always. griff, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: thank you, john. multi-millionaire tech mogul and wife are reportedly funding a group behind anti-israel protests across the u.s. claiming he and his wife have made significant donations to the peoples forum, organized massive rallies and called for the end of u.s. support to israel. c.b. cotton has more. how long has the couple been in the social justice scenes? >> neville, according to the new report, his wife has also long advocated for far left causes. now a reporter with the free press saying she's uncovered a money trail linking them to a group called the people's forum. >> since 2017 he has funded the people's forum up to $20.4 million and this organization is, it's a revolutionary socialist non-profit based in new york city and they have been one of the main drivers behind many of the protests we are seeing now on our streets. >> we found at least four massive pro palestinian protests between d.c. and new york city organized in part by the people's forum. the people's forum has several pro palestinian signs in the windows of its manhattan headquarters. the group proclaiming to advocate for marginalized communities and the working class. and kick starting the people's forum, a "new york times" investigation linked the tech entrepreneur to at least four non-profits, peddling chinese propaganda. singam denies ties to the chinese communist party but reportedly lives in shanghai. his wife had nothing but praise for china and the political system in the youtube video. >> the idea that they control everything is like so crazy. what a crazy notion we have been sold. >> and we have repeatedly reached out to the people's forum for more details on the ties to the couple but have not heard back. it's co-organizing another rally to be held this friday, sandra, called, shut it down for palestine. >> sandra: that is a remarkable story. thank you. >> john: kerri kupec urbahn, i'm still impressed by xi jinping rolling podium, the car with the microphones. let's take a look at what happened last night outside the dnc, 150 people, according to the capitol police, violently caused mayhem. contrast with what we saw on the mall on tuesday where nearly 300,000 people got together peacefully rallying in support of israel, protesting antisemitism, not a single incident we heard of. >> i'm confused by this. i don't understand why there was only one arrest. the capitol police tweeted they had -- they were dealing with over 150 people, and the key in this tweet, john, in the statement, acting illegally and violently. so if they -- this is law enforcement saying these people are operating illegally and maybe because let's go down the list, police said they moved dumpsters in front of the exits, pepper sprayed officers, attempted to pick up the bike rack, etc., etc., acting illegally, why only one arrest. doesn't make any sense. >> john: and they were on capitol hill, there were members of congress involved who had to shelter-in-place, who had to actually escape, one member had to lock themselves in the office along with the husband to get away from the crowd, to feel safe. capitol police officers were assaulted, that's a federal offense. sounds kind of familiar, not exactly familiar, but only one arrest, and how do you think the doj will proceed against that one person who was arrested? >> some context here how doj operates in washington, d.c.. 93 u.s. attorney offices across the country, responsible for enforcing federal law. the largest office in d.c., not just the federal prosecutor for the department of justice and also the local prosecutor for the city and we know that they have the resources to devote to investigating breaches and the like. they put out periodic releases, giving americans updates on how many people they have arrested. i think it's over 1,000 at this point with respect to january 6th and how have they done this and continue to charge people by looking at surveillance footage. so i'm curious to see if doj is going to take a look at the surveillance footage outside of the dnc headquarters. we certainly know they can. >> john: we do. the office, the u.s. attorney's office here in d.c. has refused to prosecute extraordinary number of crimes. >> 67%. >> john: brad sherman of california tweeted, was just evacuated from the dnc after pro terrorist anti-israel protestors grew violent. pepper spraying police officers and attempting to break into the building. thankfully, thankful to the police officers who stopped them and for helping me and my colleagues get out safely. he said this morning to harris falkner that these protestors know that violence was a force multiplier, turns 150 people into a crowd much bigger in terms of what the public sees and how it's perceived. you've got all of that documentation from brad sherman there about evacuations, police had to protect us, pro terrorists attempting to break into the building. one person arrested. >> it's by -- it's bizarre. you are not just thinking about the crowds starting to surge and spray you with pepper, an assault, by the way, you are thinking why are they there. they are there because they are sympathizing with terrorist, terrorists who have done unspeakable acts against israelis, rape, beheading, etc., so of course you are concerned about the safety of the members inside. so it does raise questions why only one arrest. >> john: we will see if the u.s. attorney's office for the district of columbia takes the time to review the multitude of surveillance tape out there. >> take a look at the camera. >> john: see if other charges might be warranted. >> sandra: we are waiting the state department briefing as we mentioned, a live shot at state as we learn more about israel's raid of gaza's largest hospital. video showing the idf uncovering weapons, gear and other equipment inside an mri room. israeli officials say the new finding are proof that al-shifa was used by hamas for terror. trey yingst is live on the ground in southern israel for us. what did you witness? >> sandra, good afternoon. the raid of gaza's al-shifa hospital is ongoing. we joined israeli special forces on the front lines of the fight between israel and hamas. >> in the dark of night, flanked by israeli special forces, we moved quickly into gaza's al-shifa hospital. >> you can hear the israelis are engaged in gun battles here with hamas. >> down a hallway in the radiology department, soldiers point to piles of weapons and hamas booklets as evidence the building was used for military purposes. behind an mri machine, more guns and ammunition. israelis say are part of hamas grab bags away from injured palestinians. >> in terms of the patients here, hundreds of civilians, more than 1,000 internally displaced gazans. are they being protected. >> they are unharmed, no palestinian civilian was even hurt, injured, in yesterday's activity. >> as part of our embed, israeli force what areas we could report from. >> you can hear the gun battles outside the grounds. >> leaving the hospital underneath the roar of israeli drones. light illuminates a path. in an armored personnel carrier, we head to a staging area before switching vehicles. taking jeeps across gaza provides a glimpse of the destruction along the strip, entire neighborhoods destroyed, many palestinians will have no homes to return to. despite the rising civilian death toll and widespread destruction, the israelis plan to continue the military campaign until hamas is destroyed and the hostages are freed. today israel's chief of staff visited the gaza strip. he said israeli forces are close to defeating hamas in the northern part of gaza adding they will start to operate in the southern part of the strip, pushing deeper into the enclave. leaflets were dropped near gaza's second largest city of khan younis. >> sandra: trey, thank you. >> john: a lot more coming up in the next hour and 45 minutes. we are going to talk with ary fleischer and charlie hurt, and subject of peaceful protest as we saw on tuesday versus the mayhem last night outside the dnc. >> sandra: a lot to get to. a jam packed couple of hours coming up. we'll stay on all of it, john. >> john: we promise you, it's going to be good. that time of year for americans to start ordering gifts for the holidays. years past, it was porch pirates. now thieves are stealing expensive packages right off the delivery truck. shocking wave of robberies that's alarming law enforcement nationwide. >> sandra: as so many of the truck drivers stand back and watch. a scathing report from the house committee looking into congressman george santos and his 2022 campaign. he now says he will not seek re-election next year, but some of his republican colleagues are already saying that is not enough. we'll ask house freedom caucus chairman scott parry what congress should do about santos. that's next. there's challenges, and i love overcoming challenges. ♪ when better money habits® content first started coming out, it expanded what i could do for special olympics athletes with developmental needs. thousands of bank of america employees like scott spend countless hours volunteering to teach people how to reach their financial goals. it felt good. it felt like i could take on the whole world. the arrival of holiday season brings with it a kind of wonder. for the little ones, and for anyone who's young at heart. from gourmet goodies, to fully prepared meals, harry and david makes it easy to turn your gatherings into memories that last a lifetime. directv sports central brings your games, stats and scores together... ...and now you can get it without a satellite. one more reason to finally get rid of cable. but getting rid of the cable guy might not be as easy. oh yeah, touchback! visit directv.com for up to a $400 reward card. if we want a more viable future for our kids, we need to find more sustainable ways of doing things. america's plastic makers are investing billions of dollars in new technologies and creating plastic products that are more recyclable. durable. and dependable. our goal is a cleaner, healthier planet for generations to come. for a better tomorrow, we're focused on making plastics better today. veteran homeowners. are you applying for a car loan?

>> so i mean, this is -- this is an incident that is important. a week into, a few days after we started the ground maneuver as you recall, the idf was able to identify the location of a live female hostage called ori and a dangerous rescue operation were able to take her while she is alive and bring her back to israel. this is a core aspect of the mission of the idf from the outset of it. of course to get them all out much more needs to be done and we have to remove hamas from leading of gaza. so, when you ask about this day, you know, symbolically it's important because there was another family who got her relative back, even though it's unfortunately she's dead but at least brought to burial in israel, but this just, i think, gives a good example of how much we still have to do and how long this will take and how important it is the idf continues to do what they do. israel is not welcoming any ceasefire that would give hamas the opportunity to regroup and refresh and remaneuver and replenish all of the recruitment. this is the worst thing that we can do right now. hopefully we can have an arrangement or a deal or some sort to get all the kids and the women and the elderly back as discussed over the last few days so get the
