Steve good mornIng, everybody. 7 00 here on the couch In new York CIty. BrIan Is off today. Thanks for joInIng us on thIs very busy monday, september 23rd, 2024. The thIs Is Fox FrIends. And lets take a lIve look rIght now at beIrut, lebanon. Where Israel Is urgIng evacuatIons of people there get out because the Idf has already hIt more than 300 targets there. Israels former u. N. Ambassador soundIng the alarm one hour ago. FIled wIn thIs war. ThIs Is defInItely goIng to InspIre all the radIcal jIhadIsts all around the world. Steve that sounds good. A lIve report from Tel AvIv and InsIght from a former Idf Spokesperson comIng up In moments. Lawrence plus, BIdens Weekend was full of gaffes after the FIrst Ladys take the reIns at hIs cabInet meetIng. Who Is In charge of the country rIght now. AInsley Actress And ActIvIst PatrIcIa Heaton joIns us lIve thIs hour. Plus, I have a very specIal announcement today, so stay tuned for that Its comIng up. Steve gIve us a hInt. AInsley you have to waIt. Fox frIends starts rIght now. Lawrence Fox News Alert rIght now the Idf Is strIkIng hundreds of targets In lebanon after the IranIan backed Terror Group launches more than 100 rockets Into northern Israel overnIght. Steve Israels PresIdent says they are not seekIng war but wIll contInue to defend themselves. AInsley Nate Foy Is In Tel AvIv wIth all the detaIls for us. Nate . Nate hey, guys, good mornIng. For a fourth straIght day massIve aIrstrIkes are happenIng rIght now In Southern Lebanon where we are learnIng In the past hour, accordIng to the Idf, hezbollah has fIred Into northern Israel 35 tImes. So far today, the Idf has hIt 300 hezbollah posItIons and countIng. Take a look at new vIdeo of some of those strIkes thIs mornIng. The Idf Is focusIng on hezbollahlaunchIng posItIons and weapons facIlItIes. Israel Is also now puttIng out messages In arabIc tellIng resIdents In Southern Lebanon to evacuate. Heres Idf Spokesman DanIel HagarI thIs mornIng. We InvIte cIvIlIans from lebanese vIllages located In and next to buIldIngs and areas used by hezbollah for mIlItary purpose, such as those used to store weapons to ImmedIately move out of Harms Way for theIr own safety. I wIll tell you what, a massIve threat narrowly avoIded thIs mornIng. The Idf released thIs vIdeo of pIlots IsraelI pIlots notIcIng a CruIse MIssIle about to be fIred from a home In Southern Lebanon. Israel took out the terrorIst before they could fIre It. The Idf says It was a dr 3 CruIse MIssIle wIth a 660pound War Head attached to It. Now, Israel Couldnt stop all of hezbollahs attacks. Take a look at thIs next vIdeo. A dIrect hIt In the north caused massIve damage. In total, fIve people are hurt In northern Israel as a result of thIs mornIngs strIkes. Now, Israel Is takIng fIre not only from Its north, In lebanon, but also from Its east. The almost resIstance In Iraq claIms that It targeted Israel wIth several drone attacks, none of them appear to have reached theIr target, former IsraelI Ambassador GIlader Dan told Fox FrIends last hour the stakes In thIs war could not be hIgher Israel faIled to wIn thIs war thIs Is goIng to InspIre all the radIcal jIhadIsts all around the world. We see them chantIng In your streets, In amerIca. So far thIs mornIng, accordIng to lebanons health mInIstry, at least 50 people have been kIlled In 300 Injured In the aIrstrIkes lebanon. Those fIgures do not dIfferentIate between cIvIlIans and hezbollah terrorIsts. We wIll send It back to you. Steve Nate Foy lIve In Israel wIth the very latest. Now, lets be joIned by former Idf Spokesperson jonathan. Good mornIng to you. Good mornIng. Steve as Nate Foy was just talkIng about. Apparently, through surveIllance, the Idf was I have a to say. They just launched a CruIse MIssIle out of somebodys house. You dont see that every day. No. You dont. But In the comIng days I wIll thInk you wIll see It more and more. That Is the Mode DIsoperandI of hezbollah. That Is what they have prepared for many years. Southern Lebanon And Many Parts of Central Lebanon and the southern parts of beIrut, the socalled controlled area. These areas are lIterally full of theIr locatIons where hezbollah hIdes weapons InsIde. What appears to be cIvIlIan houses. And can I assure you that when one cnn other networks fIlm It wIll look lIke cIvIlIan houses agaIn nobody wIll know that InsIde weapons were stored and they were fIred agaInst Israel. But, what really Is happenIng here at the bIg level Is that Israel wants cIvIlIans to leave theIr homes. Israel Is presentIng hezbollah wIth a very sImple choIce. Its eIther delInk yourself from the sItuatIon In gaza and decIde not to contInue to do the dIrty work of the Islam RepublIc of Iran. Or protect and ensure the future stabIlIty of lebanon. You cant have both thIngs. You cant contInue to be wIth Iran and have a Safe Lebanon because, If you contInue to fIre rockets at Israel, that wIll come at a catastrophIc cost for lebanon. Were not there yet. Were stIll messagIng. And thIs Is stIll on the brInk. I dont thInk that neIther Israel Nor Hezbollah have crossed that BrInk Yesterday yet. But we are gettIng very, very close. Lawrence colonel, In your former capacIty. You have to be the dIplomat, rIght . You are relIgIon the mIlItary as well as representIng the government. As we look at lIve shots thIs mornIng It. Looks lIke the MIddle East Is on fIre rIght now. What does thIs mean for amerIca . You have electIon comIng up. AdmInIstratIon asked for restraInt from Israel. You have got Kamala HarrIs who wants to be the next presIdent who Is askIng for more restraInt If an amerIcan presIdent and Kamala HarrIs Is elected, what Is that goIng to mean for Israel . I thInk that what our current sItuatIon now means for amerIca Is that amerIcas most loyal ally In the MIddle East, that defends democracy and western values, that act north to enhance amerIcas global standIng, and Its regIonal power. That ally, Israel, may be at the cusp of war. WhIch wIll be a very, very dIffIcult war for Israel to fIght. It wIll be a war that Israel wIll defeat Its enemy. But It wIll be dIfferent from what we have had agaInst hamas, because hezbollah Is way more powerful whether It comes to weapons capabIlItIes, and personnel. And the consequences for Israel wIll be dIre. The consequences for the regIon wIll be very severe. And I thInk that from a sImple amerIcan perspectIve, It wIll be an amerIcan ally fIghtIng agaInst a terrorIst organIzatIon and agaInst an enemy of amerIca. WhIch Is Iran. And I am confIdent as an IsraelI, Im confIdent that thIs tIme agaIn AmerIca WIll Stand By Israel, whoever Is elected, AmerIca WIll Stand By Israel because Israel fIghts for democracy and freedom. AgaInst the powers of evIl. AInsley All Of Us Support Israel. We are proIsrael. Its the holy land. And youre seeIng these Images. We are prayIng for you all. I hope that we can prevent an all out war. And I hope thats not where we are headIng. Colonel, thank you so much for comIng on wIth us. Thank you for havIng me and have a good mornIng. God bless you. Steve Indeed. LIve pIctures out of beIrut. AInsley wIth The Beach. You normally see Images of The Beach and supposed to be a place for famIly and fun. Steve Its the medIterranean rIght there. MeanwhIle, PresIdent BIden Is headIng here to new York CIty today for the unIted natIons general assembly, also known as unga around here. After appearIng to have another gaffe on the world stage. AInsley Peter Doocy Is lIve on the WhIte House for us. Peter WhIte House offIcIals InsIsted there would be lIttle, lIttle Press Conch of PresIdent BIdens meetIngs over the weekend wIth the leaders of Japan And IndIa and australIa. And the lIttle bIt that the Press Pool was allowed to attend got kInd of awkward. I want to thank you all for beIng Here And Now who am I IntroducIng next . Who Is next . DIstInguIshed guests, the PrIme MInIster of the republIc of IndIa. Peter you can see In that clIp, prIme MInIster ModI was sIttIng rIght behInd PresIdent BIden the whole tIme. Its unclear why that part of the program was so confusIng although It Is worth poIntIng out. The advanced stamps who have helped PresIdent BIden at events lIke thIs over the years have moved onto the HarrIs CampaIgn to help the VIce PresIdent. There Is just one presIdent at a tIme. Thats why Its notable that both BIden And Vp harrIs are conductIng theIr own dIplomacy thIs week. They are hold goIng hold separate meetIngs wIth the UnIted Arab EmIrates presIdent. We saw that when netanyahu came to the WhIte House a few months ago. They had two dIfferent meetIngs. The VIce PresIdent chose to take a harder lIne wIth hIm, netanyahu than PresIdent BIden dId. And the VIce PresIdent Is goIng to skIp the event at the u. N. General assembly. PresIdent bIden wIll get one more chance In new York CIty on the East SIde to be the Solo HeadlIner of that event. But the bIg thIng that he has been talkIng about for months that he wants to have sown up by The End of hIs admInIstratIon Is a Cease FIber In Israel wIth gaza and rather wIth hamas and wIth hezbollah, appears to be less lIkely by the day as evIdence In that report rIght before us. AInsley was the PrIme MInIster of IndIa And Japan and australIa. They had to go to wIlmIngton, delaware to a hotel there. Why normally these events are held at the WhIte House. Its an annual meetIng. Why do d. They have to go to the presIdent . Why dIdnt they do thIs In the WhIte House . Peter no Idea. There were many questIons about that at brIefIngs over the last couple days. Reporters have just been told oh well PresIdent BIden wants to show these guys where he grew up and all polItIcs Is personal. And some of the bIg events wIth these guys who flew from these complete other sIde of the world were at PresIdent BIdens HIgh School where he Its not a regular place that hIgh Level DIplomacy happens and Its not a place that they have gone whIle he has been presIdent. But Its somethIng that they wanted to squeeze In wIth the last four months for some reason. Probably It would seem just convenIence for PresIdent BIden. Steve probably. Peter, have you followed and been wIth Joe BIden for almost sIx years now. And for hIm to bark out that whos next . Lawrence he was angry. Steve have you seen hIm upclose better than anybody at thIs channel. Some have suggested Its cognItIve declIne. Others would probably try to defend the presIdent just say well, he dIdnt know what was goIng on. Was It a Stage Management ThIng or somethIng bIgger . Peter Its based on how I know these events go, It Is probably saId on a pIece of Paper RIght In front of hIm who was next. And he just was not consultIng It. But, the thIng Is, If he shouted out whoens next . There Is no one wIth the authorIty In the chaIn of command to yell out the actIon of a presIdent In that sItuatIon. Im sure somebody was just tellIng hIm look down. AInsley are you hearIng that other world leaders are told In advance just protect hIm because we have seen thIs In the past . Was It the g7 when a leader had to come over and pull hIm back over. We saw. Steve nato. AInsley exactly. Are they beIng told you know, try to protect hIm and makes a look as good as possIble . Peter havent heard that specIfIcally, but It does seem lIke these leaders are comIng to the u. S. WIth the understandIng thIs Is a bIden farewell tour. And they have to fIgure out what It means for theIr country If VIce PresIdent harrIs wIns or If former PresIdent Trump wIns In a couple months. Steve who Is next . Peter, youre done. Who Is next . Lawrence Im sorry, just to wrap thIs up, thanks, peter, we just showed you lIve Images of what Is happenIng InternatIonally. And to have a commanderInchIef that the IndIan PrIme MInIster Is havIng to save hIm. He Is barkIng out whose next and as peter says Protocol RIght In front of hIm and he dIdnt know. That Is just troublIng. ThIs Is a person that Is over our MIlItary Infrastructure and what were supposed to do next and that our allIes are askIng us wIll you have our back . What Is the next move . You know, we got Intel assets all over the world now that he Is responsIble for theIr safety. And he doesnt know whose Ne K. AInsley he stIll has four more months left. Steve to peters poInt, Joe BIden rIght now Is really mad at Israel. Because he has wanted Israel to wrap up what Is goIng on wIth hamas for sIx months. It keeps goIng. And In fact we have heard through reportIng that JIll BIden has saId very adamantly, wrap thIngs up. But It just lIngers and Its gettIng bIgger we have two nuggets. One, It sundays lIke Kamala HarrIs Is not goIng to go to the Al SmIth DInner over at the waldorf hIs tore I cant. PresIdentIal candIdates have been go goIng to It for a very g tIme. Walter mondale ducked the event In 1994. Other thIng regardIng JIll BIden say beIng we got to wrap thIs up maybe she Is sayIng that because she Is runnIng the country. AInsley she was at the CabInet MeetIngs on frIday. She was at the head of the table. Here Is a pIcture of her. I was watchIng Fox FrIends weekend. And turn on the tv and I see her at The End of the table. Im lIke where Is he . Why Isnt he at thIs meetIng . Steve there she Is. Lawrence MIranda DevIne wrItes who exactly Is runnIng the country . CertaInly appears to be JIll BIden and not Joe BIden It. Goes to the overall questIon who Is runnIng thIngs and why hasnt It not been asked about the concealment of Joe BIden. Everybody saw what happened on the debate stage. That was almost a revelatIon to people that hadnt been plugged In to maInstream medIa, that havent because they hadnt been reportIng on the story. If you havent been watchIng fox. There has been no questIon to Kamala HarrIs on any of the IntervIews that she has done thus far. Not wIth oprah. Not wIth abc. It was defInItely not focused on the debated stage. None of the CabInet Members when they go on the Sunday Shows are asked about what Is goIng on In the WhIte House . There was a prevIous reportIng done that the CabInet MeetIngs were scrIpted. And that questIons have to be presubmItted and now JIll BIden. Steve from the secretarIes. Lawrence from the secretarIes so they can have thIs wellcoordInated. Steve looks lIke JIll BIden Is on the mIddle of the table. AInsley I dIdnt see that I dIdnt know he was there. Steve down at The End hIs wIfe the FIrst Lady doIng all the talkIng. It looks essentIally lIke she Is the voIce of translator. Okay. Joe Is noddIng, let me tell you what the presIdent thInks whIch Is really what she says. That he was the Thee SIlls of MIranda DevInes Oped Today In the new york post. Check It out ny post. Com. She goes on to say whether Its JIll Or Somebody else runnIng the country, the Bottom LIne Is we dont have a functIonal presIdent. ThIs Is a constItutIonal crIsIs. Kamala harrIs Is most to blame because she has the constItutIonal duty as VIce PresIdent to ensure the presIdent s braIn Is not awol. She also knows more about bIdens cognItIve health than anyone apart from JIll And Hunter bIden. She has lunch wIth hIm regularly and often has boasted beIng the last person In the room when decIsIons are made. But she has been lyIng through her teeth to the amerIcan people about our presIdent. Lawrence It makes me wonder, aInsley, all the reportIng that came after the debate of all the maInstream medIa, they started reportIng on It suddenly after what We Saw In the debate. They were tellIng us what was happenIng In the room. All of that reportIng has stopped. Joe bIden Is stIll there the moment they took hIm off the tIcket, they stopped the reportIng. AInsley they dont care anymore. Lawrence was that the goal . It wasnt about transparency . It wasnt fInally lettIng the amerIcan publIc know what was happenIng . Was It just to get Joe BIden off the tIcket . So now that you guys have Kamala HarrIs at the top of the tIcket, you guys dont want to cover thIs anymore . AInsley well, I thInk that sInce he Is not runnIng anymore and he Is not the candIdate. I dont know If they really care when he says whose next at the e podIum. They used to worry how the optIcs were goIng to play out for the electIon. Now they dont have to worry about that. MIranda devIne says In her ArtIcle PoInts out we do have four more years wIth hIm beIng our presIdent. Steve months. AInsley four months, yeah. Sorry. Should not be fate of the Man Cant remember where he Is and what Is he doIng at any gIven moment. Steve thInk about It, If MIranda DevIne got her wIsh Joe BIden would be replaced ImmedIately unfortunately lIttle for the republIcans It would be by Kamala HarrIs. Then the VIce PresIdent would become presIdent and essentIally would be an Incumbent runnIng for reelectIon. And that, would as we have heard from the experts, gIve her an advantage. AInsley maybe not though. She would have to speak more. Steve well, she would. But just electorally, It would help her. Lawrence and I get your poInt of vIew. A lot of republIcans share that poInt of vIew. But the Issue frankly should not be polItIcal. BasIc functIonIng government. And I dont understand how we have been lectured about, you know, throats democracy. And the person that Is supposed to protect our republIc, who Is supposed to be at the top of It cannot do It and everyone knows It. We are suppose to do so pretend lIke the country can just be on autopIlot for four months when everythIng Is happenIng when It comes to the economy and then InternatIonal relatIons. Okay, maybe the staff can help us get along for certaIn thIngs. But, when It comes to where we stand on the world stage, you cant depend on the staff to do It. AInsley true. All rIght, Its 19 mInutes after the top of the hour. Here Is more headlInes startIng wIth a Fox News Alert. A North CarolIna PolIce offIcer Is In serIous condItIon after beIng shot whIle attemptIng to make a TraffIc Stop In charlotte last nIght. PolIce say the suspect pulled out a gun and opened fIre on the offIcers who pulled hIm over, strIkIng ther . Several tImes. The suspect was also shot durIng the exchange. ChIcago Gang Members are fumIng over the arrIval of venezuelan Gang Members In theIr cIty. One former Gang Member who now runs a VIolence PreventIon Program Is warnIng, quote when the black gangs here get fed up wIth the crImInal actIvItIes of these mIgrants or noncItIzens, the cIty of chIcago Is goIng to go up In flames. There wIll be nothIng the natIonal guard or the government can do about It when the Blood Shed hIts the streets. It wIll be blacks agaInst mIgrants. Lawrence already startIng. AInsley check out thIs wIld vIdeo. The East Coast Is lookIng more lIke the WIld West after a herd of bulls. Steve look at that. AInsley escaped a rodeo In massa
