Transcripts For FOXNEWS Americas Newsroom 20240925

Bill thats a scene a short time ago as Israel And Hezbollah are on the brink of an allout War Prompting the u. S. To send more troops to the Middle East and casting a shadow over President Bidens final u. N. Address scheduled in an hour. Big doings here. Im bill hemmer. Dana im Dana Perino and this is americas newsroom. I imagine this is not at all the speech that biden thought he would be giving at this point. Well track that for you. Were also tracking an eruption of intense fighting across the israeli lebanon border. Idf is going on the defensive. The worst Fighting Lebanon has seen in decades and could plunge the entire region into chaos. Bill the black drop of the bloodshed for the u. N. General assembly. It was supposed to be a Victory Lap for President Biden. Now addressing a failure of u. S. Foreign policy. Rich edson reports from the u. N. Nate foye from Tel Aviv and lets begin in israel with the conflict there. Nate, hello. Good morning. Breaking into within the past hour were learning of another targeted Israeli Air Strike in the city of beirut. As we wait to learn exactly what comes of that here is what we do know. Idf Chief Of Staff promises that the Air Strikes over lebanon will intensify throughout the day. This happenings as sirens continue to blair across Northern Israel and on your screen right now you see why. Remarkably nobody was injured here. A direct hit on the side of the road by a hezbollah rocket. We are learning of at least two injuries elsewhere in Northern Israel after people woke up to this. [explosions and sirens] you can see hezbollah is not slowing down. After firing 250 rockets yesterday, one of the people injured we know is an israeli soldier hit by falling shrapnel. In lebanon there is massive damage. Take a look at this. Tremendous cost to life. At least 558 people were killed, more than 1800 injured as a result of yesterdays strikes. Many of those are Hezbollah Terrorists but some are women and children. They continue striking hezbollah Weapons Facilities and urging residents to get out of harms way. Behind every secondary explosion, there is a building containing deadly munitions, rockets and missiles, triggering such a reaction like you see here. The u. S. Is sending more troops to the region. The Pentagon Wouldnt provide specifics but a small number of additional Military Personnel supporting 40,000 troops in the region. The u. S. Embassy in lebanon is urging american citizens to get out of the city if they can. Americans are urged to book any flight they possibly can at this point because if they dont, they need to be prepared to be stuck in lebanon for quite some time. Send it Back To You. Bill Back To You as the events warrant there from Tel Aviv. Dana President Biden will address the u. N. General assembly shortly in one of his final moments on the global stage. A big moment for him and well pay a lot of attention to it. Rich edson is at the u. N. Headquarters if new York City with a preview. Hi, rich. President biden addresses the u. N. General assembly in less than an hour. He turns the Oval Office to someone else in four months. He received the global Citizen Award from the clinton global initiative. World leaders are looking ahead to who will be u. S. President in january. White house officials say biden this morning will send a clear message that in this difficult time, the world has seen challenges before and overcome them. Today will be something of an unusual speech. As you know its the president s final address to the world as president. What he ising to say is that at times of great Change And Challenge over his more than 50 Year Career he has seen the united states help pull the world together to overcome them and optimistic we can do that again today. Administration officials say they are still working to secure a ceasefire In Gaza and curb the conflict in the Middle East. The fighting expanded north from gaza to lebanon and the president faces criticism of his handling of the war since hamas attacked israel nearly a year ago. Israels interest, micro managing their defensive efforts, blaming israel for escalation when it is clear absolutely clear hamas and hezbollah have been the instigators of this conflict. Its a tired playbook. World leaders and american voters are left with few details on how Vice President harris or former President Trump will end the fighting in the middle East And Ukraine as russia continues its assault on the country. Zelenskyy will meet with biden at the White House thursday to present his version of a Peace Plan on how he thinks the fighting should end or could end in his country. Dana and bill, Back To You. Bill Senator Bill hagerty, good morning up to and thank you from your time on the hill. A year ago when President Biden made the speech it was 18 days later when October 7th erupted. Think about those events and how they have changed so many things since then. Wall street journal. It is a far more dangerous world than mr. Biden inherited. Far less congenial for u. S. Interests, Human Freedom and democracy. Thor tarrance have advanced on his watch in every part of the world, europe, asia pacific, Middle East, africa and even the americas, end quote. What does he say about that today . Well, it is exactly right. Its only worse. The Bidenharris Administration has been a complete disaster from a national security standpoint. There is no part of the world that is safer than when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office. President trump delivered relative peace around the world. What happens . This administration comes in and creates an enormous national Security Disaster at our southern border, more than 10 Million people have come into our country. You think about what happened in the Middle East. The immediate Appeasement Approach they took to iran. Stopped enforcing the sanctions that trump imposed. Iran was immediately enriched and we saw by May Of 2021 after bidenharris came to office 11 Day War from gaza into israel. Nothing but unrest in the Middle East. You think about what happened with ukraine and russia. That would have only been precipitated after the massive failure of Joe Biden handing over afghanistan to the taliban causing 13 american service members and leaving billions of dollars of equipment to arm them. Far east, everything has become far less safe. The incursions and the taiwan strait. North korea back at it again. The entire world is on fire and thank the man speaking at the u. N. General assembly for that. Dana you mentioned several of the crises on the president s plate. Call for number three gives you all of the regions that you are talking about from the Middle East to china and our own Border Crisis and the iran nuclear threat. Yesterday it was announced the administration will be possibly deploying troops into the Combat Zone that Nate Foye and Rich Edson were just talking about. Lets listen to Kamala Harris at the debate what she said about the u. S. And combat. As of today, there is not one member of the united States Military who is in active duty in a Combat Zone in any War Zone around the world. The first time this century. Dana now you have a situation six weeks before the election it wasnt true before during the debate and deserved a fact check, two, it is certainly not true now. It wasnt true then and certainly not true now. That debate was a complete Disgrace Threeonone and something that they just stepped back and say the very basic question, is the world certainly and the united states better off today than it was when President Trump was in office . The answer from the World Stage and united states is no, President Trumped had us in a far better place both globally and certainly here in the united states of america. Bill irans president is here as well. He did an interview with nbc and said this about wanting peace and not conflict. We want to move in a more peaceful, more stable world. We dont seek war. But we will defend ourselves. We have said that we will respond in a manner of our choosing. Bill what is he talking about . Iran backs hamas, iran backs hezbollah, and surely after October 7th of last Year Hezbollah fired 150 missiles into israel as a sign of solidarity with hamas after they went into Southern Israel and took how many, 150 people captive . What is he talking about . Its the twofaced approach of iran. The Bidenharris Administration is either too naive or they bought into the situation. Iran is the greatest State Sponsor of terror. President trump had brought iran to its knees and broke under the Trump Administration. I worked hard myself when i served there and imposed sanctions on iran to get partners and allies to stop by iranian crude. We brought them to their knees and unable to fund hamas, hezbollah and houthis. We were able to move from Israels Sovereignty over the golan heights. We took out soleimani and baghdadi and entered the abraham accords. President trump had the Wisdom And Foresight to impose maximum pressure on the iranian regime that funds all this terror and the Biden And Harris administration steps right back in immediately and fund them. They have 100 Billion of funds thanks to this administration and using those funds to instill terror throughout the Middle East and perhaps around the world. Dana senator, thank you for joining us this morning kicking off our coverage. Bill high stakes today. Well be watching. Thank you, senator. The cartels are a significant threat to the people of the united states. Bill so yet again the drugs, the weapons, the criminals now Fox News on exclusive ride along with federal agents taking on cartels at the border as we speak. Plus there is this. Roll it. [shouting and chanting] dana newly resurfaced video from 2018 could haunt Vice President Kamala Harris. Bill the path to 270 could run right through the state of georgia. Were live in the Peach State as the former president , Donald Trump, will rally there tonight. You must get out and vote. You have to get out. Promise me ill vote, everyone here.

Singers safelite repair, safelite replace. Were here today because early voting begins in pennsylvania over the next two weeks and we need each and every one of you to go out. Dont take anything for granted we have to win pennsylvania. If we win pennsylvania, we win the whole thing. It is very simple. Bill you will hear a ton about the keystone state. Its difficult for Kamala Harris to win in the White House if she doesnt win p. A. Same with Donald Trump. Take pennsylvania out of the mix, okay . Lets say trump has a really good night, all right . In the Sun Belt states. We have him at 219. Whats in play . You take georgia, 235, you take North Carolina, pretty good night, all right . Come out here to the west. You take arizona and nevada. All four of those states and you are still two electoral votes shy. He would still need to go up somewhere in here in the upper midwest like p. A. That would do it as well. Let me go ahead and take this off the map here and show you a little something with Kamala Harris and explain why this is difficult for her also, all right . Polling well up here in wisconsin. Its tight. 235. That would be if you get the ten there. Michigan would take you to 250. Leave p. A. Out of the scenario and say Kamala Harris does what Joe Biden did and takes georgia. You have the electoral vote in nebraska, too. 267. She is still short if she doesnt take p. A. North carolina has been going back and forth. That would be enough to do it in that scenario. Likewise Arizona Or Nevada would put her over the top without winning p. A. She has to go to the southeast and win there. President trump, real simple. Let me take these off the board one second. Bear with me and were back to neutral. Both sides are going to go hard after pennsylvania because there is a scenario for Kamala Harris where she could go wisconsin, michigan, p. A. , and that would do it with that nebraska two. That one electoral vote. Republican State Senator in nebraska said he will not change his Mind And Nebraska will still divide its electoral votes. Here is what he said. After deep consideration its clear to me right now 43 days from Election Day is not the moment to make this change. I have notified the governor i would not change my position and oppose any changes to the Electoral System before the 2024 election. 42 days today. Five electoral votes in nebraska but split them up four and omaha one. Omaha is a Blue Dot where the democrats vote in big numbers. Thats what is happening right now. This is what happened six years ago. It popped up yesterday. Watch. [chanting and shouting] dana that video of then senator Kamala Harris from a parade in 2018 is now resurfacing. Fast forward to today and the democratic nominee is planning to visit the border as she tries to flip the script on her far left stance. We have our power panel. She has had many positions on the border. What do you think about this idea, mark, that she will go to the border now, 42 days before the election . I think its the last thing she should do. She is trying to avoid the issue of the border as much as possible. She is actually gaining steam by pushing the economic issue and bringing that to the foreand put out a few economic plans more or less unchallenged. I dont think her going to the border makes any sense at all. It plays right into Donald Trump who wants to make the border the number one issue. Dana alex, if you look at the recent Fox News Poll Trump versus harris on the issue of immigration, trump 54 , she was 44 on who do you trust to do a better job on immigration . Does her going there at least say she is not hiding from the issue . Well, she should hide on this issue because showing up at the border now with her trial and mortar, ill work on the wall ive been building for three years. No, like the mugger who beats you up showing up in a Hospital Gown saying wait a minute, let me take you to the hospital. Kamala harris is not running just against Donald Trump. This new Centrist Kamala is running against woke kamala and having a hard time beating that kamala now. There is a certain insulting cynicism and arrogance. When you show up as a different person. Ive been with you all along at the border, it is telling voters we dont think you are smart enough to notice weve changed and at the end of the day, thats why among independents in the fox poll, they thought Kamala Harris was not as honest as Donald Trump. Dana the other big issue is the Economy And Grocery prices in particular. President trump had a way to deal with that yesterday. Watch him here. Just went down 1 hundred. Well do it to you from the White House, all right . Dana showing his ability, mark, to reach out, be there with people and, of course, you have an extra hundred to help out somebody and get a viral moment in a local news market. He has done a few good things. The Gutfeld Interview is probably his best interview. His grandchild asking everybody to vote for him. That issue. But you know, look, The Truth is the Campaign Hasnt really landed the economic issue on harris. Harris has put out a few proposals about housing, about price controls, and he has been unable to kind of broaden out his lead on the economy. He has held it but it has narrowed. Things like this, of course, are better for him than not. Dana on Grocery Prices from the same poll, are Grocery Prices a major problem for your family . 66 of people said yes, 50 said Housing Costs as well as 48 gas prices. Grocery prices, alex, people are paying a lot of attention to. You buy them every day. You have to shop around and careful about how you plan your meals now. You have to cut back. But it is also about something bigger. Donald trump a lot of folks, independents especially think he did a really good job. My economy was better, my life was safer, but i worry that his strength can be reckless. All of a sudden we see him like this in a grocery store, wait, you mean he is one of us, not one of them . He understands my life . I love to see Donald Trump in these more intimate settings because i think those independent voters say wait, he is an outsider, he is for change, something will help my everyday life. I think it is a great move by the Trump Campaign not just to yell at people in rallies, but to get him on our screens and bring him home to us. Dana interesting. Mark and alex, love having you on the show, 42 days to go. Thank you so much. Be sure to tune into perino on politics podcast. My guest this week talked about the North Carolina and Pennsylvania Race there in those battleground states. Hope you tune in. Bill we have fresh developments on the man accused of trying to assassinate the former president. New charges theyre pushing for to keep him behind bars. A tactic a venezuelan gang is using to build a criminal empire on the streets of new York City as we speak. They shot at our cops. They shot at tourists during a retail theft.

[music playing] dana breaking developments out of the Middle East. New video from the idf showing israeli Fighter Jets striking Hezbollah Terror targets in lebanon. Increased fighting prompting the u. S. To send additional troops to the region. The developments stoking fears of an allout war. Breaking moments ago as we wait to hear from President Biden at the United Nations. The u. N. Secretary general addressed the israel hezbollah fighting. Watch him here. The people of lebanon, the people of israel and the people of the world cannot afford lebanon to become another gaza. Lets be clear. Nothing can justify the abhorrent acts of terror committed by hamas on October 7th or the taking of hostages. Most of which i have repeatedly condemned and nothing can justify the collective punishment of the palestinian people. Dana former State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortega is here. I have a feeling my head will explode 20,000 times this week. Part of the situation were in right now because the u. N. And u. S. Holding back to help israel do so it wouldnt get to this point. Not wanting lebanon to become another gaza. He left out since October 7th hezbollah has fired almost 10,000 rockets into israel. They have never gone back as we know they have never gone back where they are supposed to be in lebanon since the u. N. Mandate after the 2006 war. They refuse to move back. Too close to israel. They just killed children on a playground. 10,000 rockets into Israel And Netanyahu has been warning and very public about this for the past year saying they were first going to deal with the threat of hamas but 80,000 israelis that are internally displaced that need to go home in the north that they would do whatever at the needed to do to return normalcy to those peoples lives. Theyve tried through diplomacy. Everybody has tried the diplomacy and it hasnt worked. Israel is fighting back after taking 10,000 rockets over the past year from hezbollah. Bill mr. Bidens diplomats can do little more than wring their hands and wish for better times. The failure is not their fault. Like soldiers sent into a war, their leaders dont know how to win. Americas diplomats were tasked with an impossible mission their leader never thought through. What do you think of that and Lindsey Graham saying go at the source . Not hamas or hezbollah but iran. That is right. As a diplomat myself for many years you are only as good as the credible threat of force behind you. When i was traveling the world with mike pompeo, he is a pretty intimidating man and he had the credible threat of force and his relationship with President Trump to back him up in negotiations. Not were so much more brilliant negotiators. Were better in general but we had a president who would back us up and the whole world knew he meant business. If we made a threat they knew we would stand by it and the Red Line was a Red Line. Bidens diplomats are in a terrible situation. Bill biden is not going after iran to grahams point. Do you think president harris would go after iran . Her rhetoric is changing but we havent seen a change in policy. Admiral kirby, who is a friend of mine, touted the many sanctions the biden administration has put on iran. However, there is one thing to add sanctions, another thing to enforce them. When you boil it all down iran is still exporting oil. In the Trump Administration this was a very tough diplomatic tasks, very hard. We took iranian oil off the market. The regime was starved for cash. Hezbollah and hamas and all of their Terror Proxies were starved for cash. Unfortunately they have gotten tens of billions of dollars richer in the Bidenharris Administration. Unless she will take their oil off the market she is not serious. Dana let me ask about this. President biden will give this speech. The last one really on the World Stage for him. He will have other speeches but a Big One for him. He will call for collective action in dealing with china. Watch here. We dont have sound. Im sorry. China continues to behave aggressively testing us across the arena and true. He said this on saturday. This has been one of the few areas of bipartisan consensus in washington, d. C. Biden kept on the trump tariffs on china. I would be tougher and more aggressive with china but things like that has been good. Taking the quad its basically a Submarine And Intelligence Sharing Deal between australia, United Kingdom and united states. We revived something that bush started. Biden took it to the leader level. There has been good things there. My concern is are we doing enough to actually deter xi. What i have called we have a quartet of evil between china, russia, North Korea and iran that resupply each other from the military Hardware Perspective with missiles, drones, munitions and created this Supply Chain of terror we have yet to interdict. There is a lot more that can be done to deter china. Bill that relationship was not there before the ukraine war and the biden administration undermined their ukraine policy by allowing iran to give russia weapons. And the drones that russia uses on ukrainian civilians. Bill well see where the message is next hour. On the trail now. 42 days. The former president Donald Trump taking an economic message to voters in georgia today. Going to be in chatham county, savannah, where Alexandria Hoff joins us live now. Good morning to you. This is an important state. A state that President Biden won in 2020 by the smallest of margins, less than 12,000 votes. Democrats have been hitting the state hard. Vice president harris was in atlanta on friday. Her focus abortion. The latest New York Times poll puts former President Trump leading the Vice President by four points in georgia. That is, of course, within the margin of error. He is here in Savannah Today coming from another Bidenwon State being pennsylvania yesterday. He will deliver remarks on his planned changes to the Tax Code here. His campaign says he will lay out his pitch to foreign companies and why they should move their Manufacturing Operations to the u. S. We will have no tax on tips. [cheers and applause] that was an easy one. We will have no tax on overtime. If you work overtime. [cheers and applause] and for our seniors, who have been decimated, decimated by the stupidity of inflation. What they did to you on inflation, we will have no tax on social security benefits. [cheers and applause] no tax. Youve been decimated. Weve been hearing that throughout this campaign. No tax on overtime, tips and social security benefits. Many are wondering how the former president plans to pay for this. He will implement new tariffs on goods produced outside the u. S. Being imported in. This event kicks off at 1 00 p. M. Bill the economy for Trump Today and the economy for Kamala Harris tomorrow in pittsburgh. They shall duel. Nice to see you in savannah.

Brooke taylor went along for the ride in new mexico, this morning. Hi, brooke. Were in Mount Christo where we had a ride along and saw how the Mexican Cartel has complete control over this area. You dont pass this border without paying up to the cartel. First i want to show you this. Weve seen activity this morning. Cartel spotters will use high mountains like this to scout out Border Patrol agents to find the right opportunities to smuggle people in. Not even 20 minutes into our ride along and look at this. We came across these two illegal immigrants trying to illegally cross right before they were caught by Border Patrol agents in the brush. Border patrol recognized the first illegal immigrant as someone who had already been caught and was reentering. He was smuggled by a coyote also detained. Listen to this shocking confession that he made to us on camera. You were involved in the cartel . Well, if you dont work for them, then you get in trouble with them anyways. How long have you worked for the cartel . I havent worked long. When they need me they come looking for me. When they come you have to go to work. We came across this family with little children. Clearly exhausted about the heat. They said theyre from ecuador and smuggled in by the cartel and paid 30,000 a person to cross the border illegally. Trans nationals utilize kids to be the spotters, right . To put them in highlevel areas and look at the terrain and see whats going on. Where our units are moving and they are more likely guiding the migrants into the country. As we were driving around, we saw the Border Wall had been cut by an illegal crosser, its metal. In order to do that you have to have a Welding Torch to cut through. We arent seeing the massive surges of people turning themselves in like weve seen in the past. Were seeing more criminals now than ever according to our cbp data. Border patrol arrested more than 15,000 illegal immigrants who had criminal convictions this fiscal year. It is significantly more criminals than weve seen in the last six years. I want you to look at the 2019 numbers here. A 265 increase. This fiscal year according to Border Patrol theyve also encountered 100 immigrants on the terrorist watch list. Thats just compared to 0 in 2019. Dana. Dana what an incredible opportunity to get to see it firsthand. Thank you for bringing story us to. Bill a retired f. B. I. Agent and dan, thank you for your time. I want to show our viewers what we call the gotaways, people unaccounted for. Come across the border and in fiscal year 2021 the numbers went way up. 387,000, 600,000 in 2022, 670,000 in 2023. When we talk about these gangs, look at the map here where they cross the southern border and then they make their waif to denver, chicago, new york, because they are looking for the migrant camps in places like new York City. From what you just heard there, dan, from brookess reporting, what should we learn . We should learn that we should be very concerned in this country. The migrant surge coming across the southern border is extremely alarming. The growth of some of these national crime entities are moving their people across the border. Just a year ago the Tren De Aragua had a very small footprint in the united states.
