control of congress. that is in the offing. we'll debate that and see how it goes. dana has the week off. i'm bill hemmer. welcome to aishah. >> aishah: hello. thank you for having me. good to be with you. >> bill: you beat the heat. >> aishah: i like the heat. i'm aishah hosni. republicans are mapping out steps to be ready on day one if trump should win a second term and planning also depends on maintaining control of the house and possibly flipping the senate. taxes and the deficit, those are the top priorities. trump says that he wants to reduce your taxes, cut them and keep them low. unlike democrats who say that they want more of your hard-earned dollars. >> we will make the trump tax cuts permanent and cut taxes even more for working families and small businesses. they will let them expire and give you the biggest tax increase you have had ever by four times. >> bill: that from the weekend. chad pergram has the follow-up on capitol hill. good morning. >> good morning. reupping those expiring tax cuts will be one of the biggest goals for congressional republicans and the former president. most republicans appear to back mr. trump following last week's meetings in washington. >> i think it has a lot to do with the way he has run his campaign and speaking, his plans and policies. we're in desperate times in the country. the biden administration has made a mess of every metric of public policy and i think that has a unifying effect on our party and the american people. >> republicans want to make sure they have a plan in place to govern if they control the presidency, the house and the senate. but how they handle tax cuts and cut the deficit is hard. the numbers may not add up. they also want to curb regulation and then there is the border. >> on day one of my new administration we'll begin the largest deportation operation in american history. we have no choice. this is not sustainable. >> democrats say even moderate republicans from swing districts are standing behind mr. trump. minority leader ham hakim jeff east. >> the drag on the so-called moderate republicans in new york will be the anchor of the extremism with respect to reproductive freedom, donald trump and the other right wing votes that they continue to take here in washington. >> democrats are taking pains to control -- connect republicans with former president trump. they argue the gop is pushing an extreme agenda when it comes to abortion and democrats believe they have a winning message this fall. >> bill: nice to see you, chad pergram on the hill. >> aishah: joining us now with guy benson, host of the guy benson show on fox news radio. good morning to you. want to get to this breaking news from the des moines register that came out with a new poll from iowa showing that president trump is leading biden now 50% to 32% among likely voters. not the kind of news that you want to wake up to monday morning if you are on team biden. what is interesting is the "washington post" editorial board headline from sunday. let's put it on the screen here. it says biden should assume the polls are right, not wrong. president biden has a polling problem and he needs to admit it. >> let's talk about this des moines register poll. trump at 50% in iowa is not that much of a shock. he won the state comfortably in 2016 and 2020, eight or nine points. joe biden at 32%, the incumbent president in what has been a swing state not that long ago is the eye popper. 18-point margin. trump is strong and has a bare majority. the incumbent has less than 1/three support in that state. astounding number. this is considered the gold standard poll in the state of iowa. it is a woman who runs it and she almost nailed trump's margin in the last two elections in iowa. in fact, trump barely out performed her poll, just a little bit. if he is even in the ballpark of up 18 points in a state like iowa, the story isn't iowa. the story is minnesota to the north, wisconsin in the neighborhood. if he has got that kind of margin there and she is tracking that correctly, the democrats have to be very worried about the upper midwest in general. >> bill: "washington post" is on that. aishah read this. here are cnn sunday. >> joe biden trailing trump in key battleground states and polling well behind your senate colleagues who are running for re-election. how can you look at this -- these statistics and these numbers and not conclude that joe biden is a drag on the ticket? >> oh, that's not going to be the case. >> look at the numbers. >> that's one poll. >> biden is under polling all of them. >> everybody sees it and we'll see where it goes from there. trump has a decision to make whether or not the vice president on his ticket really matters. here is a couple of things. insiders predict rust belt republican could flip votes talking about vance. quote from a republican strategist. he would be a lot of help across the entire rust belt and help pick up working class democrat votes even outside of ohio. he would be an asset everywhere but especially in states like pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. it's ironic we bike that with the des moines register poll out now. vance is in the mix. >> he is in the mix. based on all the reporting. i've kind of looked at all this with a jaundiced eye for a while. when they leak out they have a final finalists and doing vetting of these people part of me wonders if they'll go somewhere else. i'm not sure trump needs help with the types of voters they were talking about. trump is the help with those demographics. where he needs help is in suburban areas with a more traditionalish normal republican to reassure voters who want to go to trump but a little uncomfortable with him as a person, that's the type of person i would urge him to pick. he will make his decision and a dramatic, i think, discussion all the way to the last second. >> aishah: bill and i were talking about this during the break. the vp, people will come out to the voting booths for president trump. but the vp could really clinch it when it comes to independents and female voters. is nikki haley really out? >> the former president said she is out in no uncertain terms. >> aishah: is it a miscorrection? >> possible. there are other people in the midst who would be popular. mike pence endorsed ted cruz in 2016 and he was picked anyway. mike pompeo. it is one of these names, burgum or the rest of them. there are certain voters teetering and tired of joe biden, cannot take it anymore. they aren't 100% sure they want to whole trump show back. giving them a different look of a republican that makes them feel a little more reassured, i think that's probably a priority here in terms of doing the electoral map. trump does have this instinct about what voters want to see. >> bill: we'll know within a month when the convention rolls around. guy benson, thank you. freedom from the clutches of hamas. what a story. as it happened, watch. [shouting and gunfire] >> bill: amazing stuff to watch. we had a little bit of this last week. israeli government released new body cam footage capturing the moment these elite military forces rescued a hostage noah during a dramatic raid in gaza went into two different buildings at the same time. hamas terrorists abducted her from that music festival on october 7th and became the symbol of the attacks. she is reunited with family and friends. >> aishah: there is a shake-up at the very top of the israeli government. prime minister benjamin netanyahu now dissolving his war cabinet and that move is tightening his grip over his decision making in the fight against hamas. trey yengst is live in tel aviv with more on what it all means, trey. >> good morning. it is day 255 of the war between israel and hamas. with no end in sight israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has decided to dissolve the war cabinet. it comes after two out of five cabinet members left following political disagreements with the israeli leader. some far right ministers in the government were pressuring netanyahu to take those positions and why it is being dissolved. huge disagreements what direction the war should go. this week the israeli military announced daily pauses in southern gaza to allow for more aid to enter. that decision drew condemnation from the israeli prime minister and called it unacceptable. a massive backlog of aid yet to be distributed. something the pauses help to address. this weekend was the most deadly for israeli forces in months. 12 soldiers killed, eight in a single incident when a suspected anti-tank missile struck their carrier in rafah. there are new attacks from hezbollah. >> hezbollah is increasing aggression is bringing us to the brink of what could be a wider escalation. one that could have devastating consequences for lebanon and the entire region. >> israeli defense told fox news over the weekend that diplomatic efforts are ongoing to avert a further war with hezbollah but time is running out. >> bill: four miami police officers facing charges after a deadly shoot-out in the middle of rush hour traffic and we'll tell you what happened. >> aishah: as president biden deals with international crises, americans at home are showing a growing desire for strong and decisive u.s. leadership. >> bill: this illegal immigrant accused in the rape and murder of a woman, a mother of five. critics are blaming president biden's immigration policy for this murder. >> i don't want him to leave maryland ever again. we don't have a death penalty but i hope he dies in one of our prisons who are that he did to our community in this case. ene. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

>> i can tell you it all started, aishah, at a jewelry shop with an armed robbery five years ago. two men abducted a ups driver, led them on a high-speed chase. those police went through miami. it all came to an end with a hail of gunfire caught on camera. taking a look at the footage right now. ups truck got caught in traffic the suspect shot at officers. chaos erupted and a barrage of gunshots hit the ups truck from 18 officers who four responding agencies. the shoot-out killed not only the two suspects but the 27-year-old ups driver and the 70-year-old richard, just an innocent bystander sitting in his car. a grand jury indicted four miami-dade officers with manslaughter charges could carry up to 30 years in prison. two of the officers still work for the department. the union that represents the officers criticized the indictment last week saying, quote, we're extremely disappointed that after almost five years, these officers are finding themselves indicted for something they had seconds to decide. none of those officers were charged for the deaths of the hijackers. they turned themselves in over the weekend. and were released without bail. aishah. >> aishah: dana marie, thank you very much. >> bill: to a brand-new survey from the reagan institute showing a growing number of americans want the u.s. to take a lead role in global affairs. policy director of the reagan institute, nice to see you. did you see each other in december? now it's june and the weather is warm. here is the question. is u.s. involvement in international events mostly beneficial or harmful to the world? 62% say it's beneficial. >> americans are looking for the policies of ronald reagan. they want america to be engaged around the world and lead from a position of strength. they think that's beneficial for the world as you previewed and beyond that they think it's beneficial to us, to the united states ourselves. >> bill: so on ukraine, that would be part of this, right? peace through strength is the theme you hear consistently. three things here, what is p importance of winning in ukraine. 75% say it's important. sending u.s. weapons to ukraine, 57% agree with that. sending u.s. weapons to israel, 57% support that as well. that's helping your friends, that could be peace through strength, rachel. >> peace through strength and the reagan doctrine that we saw in him pursuing the cold war. applied to the 21st century. if our friends and allies around the world are willing to take up arms in defense of their own freedom to push back against authoritarian aggression the united states should help them. we should help them by arming them in today's world with the conflicts we're seeing in europe and the middle east, sending military aid, u.s. weapons to both ukraine and israel. >> bill: they will get their wish based on administrations decisions here. china, i was looking at the survey here. top concerns about china touches on everything that we cover almost every day. 83% are worried about theft of technology. 83% worried about human rights violations, 82% worried about a.i. capability. 82% worried about a military build-up. china is becoming a focus of so many things in the u.s. as we reflect on our stage and standing in the international world. >> absolutely. the american people really see it as such. china is not just an economic challenge as we've seen it previously, it is not just a security challenge in the military domain with their own defense build-up in recent years and potential threat to taiwan. but it is also applied to american values, to the principles of freedom and democracy that aren't just american values but universal values. what we see in polling data is americans are concerned about china and the chinese communist party in all of those regards when it comes to the economy, defense and security and when it comes to the principles of freedom and democracy. >> bill: pop quiz. anything surprise you in here? >> you know, it never ceases to surprise me the american people are tuned into foreign policy. it surprises me in a sense. conventional wisdom is americans are focused on problems at home and maybe don't want to be involved in entanglements abroad. but what this survey shows is that the american people are keyed in on international events. the chaos and conflict we're seeing unfold in regions around the world puts them not only in headlines but puts these conflicts and america's role in these conflicts and what we can do from a position of strength to lead the world front and center in the minds of the american people going into the elections in november. >> bill: nice to see you again, rachel. thank you. >> aishah: russian president vladimir putin will travel to north korea tomorrow to meet with kim jong un. the latest sign of a strengthening show of force between anti-west allies. russia and north korea could sign a partnership agreement during putin's visit. the kremlin says he will make a stop in vietnam later on this week. >> we have a genius, ladies and gentlemen. he solved the middle east. >> bill: if you areing up against the king of comedy take your best shot and not miss. jerry seinfeld getting the last laugh when an anti-israeli heck lear tried to shut down his show. startling numbers on the backlog of immigration cases. >> good morning to you. we have some brand-new jaw dropping internal data from ice showing how overwhelmed the agency is. coming up after the break we'll tell you how many cases each ice officers has to manage on average. a hint, it's in the thousands. we'll be right back. verybody. now i sleep with inspire. inspire?
