Telling Fox An Attack on israel by iran is imminent. The u. S. Embassy In Jerusalem has warned all Government Employees in israel, gaza, and the West Bank to shelter in place until further notice. That same official said quote, the u. S. Has indications that iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic Missile Attack against israel. We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend israel against this attack. A direct Military Attack from iran against israel will carry severe consequences for iran. End of quote. We are monitoring the situation for updates to bring you as soon as we get them. Well give them to you. Well also be bringing in a live report from Tel Aviv just moments from now. And, of course, they are several hours ahead of us. It is darkness and things happen after dark. We know that. War happens after dark. I will also speak with republican Congressman Brian Mast who volunteered with the israeli Defense Force. Stay tuned for that. Fox News Alert now. Americans are already struggling under the crushing weight of high prices on everything especially food. And now bracing for the effects of a massive Port Strike. It is on. Im Harris Faulkner and are you in the faulkner focus. Tens of thousands of Dock Workers from maine to texas are picketing for the first time since 1977. Their contract expired at midnight. They want big wages and guaranteed Job Protection from automation because when things are automated, you needless human beings. The port Workers Union chief negotiator, well, he has a lot to say and he doesnt hold back. When my men hit the streets from maine to texas, every single port, a lockdown. You know what is going to happen . Ill tell you. First week be all over the news every night. Second week guys who sell Cars Cant Sell cars. Cars arent coming off the ships. They get laid off. Third week, malls start closing down. Cant get the goods from china. Cant sell clothes and do this. Everything in the united states comes on a ship. They go out of business. Construction workers get laid off because the materials arent coming in. The steel is not coming in. The lumber is not coming in. They lose their job. Everybody is hating the longshoremen now because now they realize how important our jobs are. Harris he is not wrong about getting us our stuff and how critical a role they play. We could really feel this. How we got here. Where is the White House . You fight when you have to at the White House to keep stuff like this from happening. Is biden, is Kamala Harris, are this up to the fight . Lets look at the crisis upon us. This administration is famous for how many times they can let a crisis happen because things went on too long without leadership. 45,000 Dock Workers at 36 ports from maine to texas are on strike today. A j. P. Morgan analysis found it could cost the u. S. Economy 5 Billion a day. Major retailers to small businesses are also preparing for Supply Chain disruptions. We could see shortages of some critical items, medical equipment, vehicles, food, clothing, and if you think the inconvenience is going to be bad, imagine how you are going to have to pay for those few things coming through . Stuff is going to get higher if this Goes On too long. Despite all of it, though, President Biden says well, nothing. He is on the sidelines. The White House has said he would not invoke Taft Hartley Act. That act allows the president to order an 80day cooling off period. That gets us way beyond the Christmas Holidays and into the new year for a fresh look at what the union and the corporations are fighting about. That would avert a strike at this point. The White House, well, playing dodge ball, you know how it goes. Lets watch. At what point would the president be willing to intervene. How long would he allow it to go on and at what cost . Im not going to get into hypotheticals. I wont get into hypotheticals. We believe collective bargaining is important here. We believe both sides should come to the table in good faith and get to a fair agreement. Harris i thought she said she wasnt going to go into detail. Grady trimble is at the port of baltimore. One of the many we depend so much on, grady. Harris, just to set the scene for you today. There are around 2400 members at this particular port. You can see a group of them on the Picket Lines in the rain. Not deterred at all by that. 45,000 members across ports from texas all the way up to Maine On Strike right now. What that means for you and me is, well, you can see the effects of this strike. These cranes you see in the background are the cranes that these men and women would typically be operating but theyve walked off the job and now they are at a standstill. That means products coming into the united states from All Over The World are also at a standstill. Our colleague Lydia Hu spoke to the president of the ioa this morning. He is praising the Bidenharris Administration, in particular the acting Labor Secretary Julie sioux for encouraging the two sides to come together to negotiate but the problem is a whole host of Industry Groups say the Bidenharris Administration isnt doing enough for the u. S. Chamber of commerce, the national retail federation, wholesaleers are all saying the administration should invoke the Taft Hartley Act that you mentioned so these workers have to stay on the job while negotiations continue. Take a listen to the american Trucking Association Ceo placing a lot of the blame on President Biden and the Bidenharris Administration for this walkout. Its the job of the president and this administration to bring two parties together when they cant reach an agreement. To mediate. They arent doing that. They are encouraging this strike by revoking the option of taft hartley, you are encouraging this union to strike and shut down this economy when our southeast united states is recovering from a natural disaster. This is the worst time to have 36 ports shut down our economy. It also comes as inflation has been cooling but the concern here is that this strike could lead to higher prices yet again especially if it lasts a while. As far as the cost of it to the u. S. Economy, Jp Morgan has a high estimate at 4 1 2 to 5 Billion a day. Anderson economic group is putting the cost on the lower end but it is still 2. 1 billion in the first week and they say it is only going to get worse as the Supply Chains grind to a halt and products coming in arent able to get unloaded from ships. Some of the big companies that are reliant on these imports are companies like walmart, costco, i kia, The List Goes On. It will only get worse if this strike Goes On. Harris grady trimble. Great reporting. You are talking to so many people. Thats very helpful. Charles payne is here host of making money. This feels like bidenomics, an extending of all that went wrong with Decision Making and not understanding the pain people feel are pricing. That they would not have fought harder to keep it from happening. You are right. The Economics Part of it missing. The entire agenda is driven about who you want to favor. And for the most part the biden administration has favored the elites, wealthy, the bidens. The whole agenda. The Bidenharris Agenda has favored and rewarded the wealthiest people in this country. Of course, unions. But the president to say he doesnt believe in intervening particularly on the heels of this storm over the weekend is really mindboggling. We are talking about these ports handle 3 Trillion a year. One report says 6 Hundred Million a day. This adds up very quickly. Harris yeah. It said 2. 1 billion by the end of this week. Right. Again there are here is the thing we have to realize. There is a compounding effect. One day equals five days of repercussions, one week one day means the Supply Chain could get backed up for a week. These numbers start to add up. As we were coming out of Supply Chain crisis and to do it at such a vulnerable time. The lowest parts of our economic strata will get hurt the most. It may seem frivolous that were named off on pharmaceuticals to automobiles. If it lasts too long there wont be toys for christmas. Harris lets pause for a second about what is on those containers now. Food is on those containers. Now maybe some of those things can sit. Food cant wait. Bananas and perishables. It is really amazing. Harris how long does it take before real quick. I want to move in. I want to get to something the Commerce Secretary said. How long before we see those things . Do we have a month or two . Not a month. You will see it in weeks. The Commerce Secretary did an Interview Yesterday but not as Commerce Secretary. She appeared as a Kamala Harris campaign surrogate hours before the strike began. Where have you been focused and hearing on what would happen if the strike goes lets say longer than a week . Again, i have not been very focused on that. I would refer you to the White House or the transportation secretary. Harris refer you to the White House . Thats where Kamala Harris is working now as v. P. What is she talking about . Referring to the Commerce Secretary, oh, hold on, wait a minute. Thats me. You know, i posted on X Yesterday its been a tight race for the most incompetent person in this administration. In the last few weeks i feel she has taken the lead over pothole pete. It is an embarrassment. This is her job. Harris its dangerous. Of course its dangerous. It gets back to in the very beginning of our conversation. There has never been a focus on economics, never a focus on commerce. Everything has been a focus on their agenda from day one. There is a massive indifference to americans. Harris talk to me about we wont get into the details of the taft act. Biden could have dealt with this. Weve known about this for weeks. He knew weeks ago this was that he was on the Precipice And Everybody knew they were dealing with harold dagget, the head of that union. He is a man in his power as they like to say. With all of that Biden Sat by, Kamala Harris sat by . They just sat by. Spoiling for a fight. Were out there fighting for unions. Get out in november and fight for us. That kind of Campaign Slogan they like to do more than actually get things done for the nation. T this were talking about a vulnerable time for economy. Already trucks werent taking the perishables. Everyone in the Industry Saw this coming and they saw the fact the White House would do nothing about it. Harris you mentioned Hurricane Helene. We need all hands on deck to get stuff to where it needs to go. This is a dereliction of duty on their part. I read today from the White House that they were working 24 hours a day. I wish we had 39 hour days at this point. Make them work harder. Absolutely. Agree. Harris live images from beirut, lebanon. Israel is pounding hezbollah Terrorist Targets from their air. The terrorists are the military for lebanon. Senior white House Official is telling Fox News a ballistic Missile Attack from iran on israel is imminent. The u. S.

Israel is continuing to pound that area. We just saw live images of the aftermath of israeli Air Strike continuing to take out hezbollah terror targets. Tensions are reaching the point of retaliation now in the Middle East. This is what we were wanting to avoid. A senior white House Official tells Fox Iran is planning an imminent miss will attack on israel. The israeli Defense Force pushing forward with a new phase now in its war on hezbollah. Yesterday, of course, it moved in on the ground, the idf and called it limited Ground Operations inside Southern Lebanon going after irans proxy terrorists. The people they prop up with their money. Hezbollah plan to launch their October 7th attack from villages across Southern Lebanon where they have been building up their arms capabilities and forces for the last two decades. Our soldiers entered hezbollahs underground infrastructures, exposed hezbollahs Hidden Weapons Catches and seized rareian made weapons. Harris theyve taken out nearly all of Hezbollahs Command in recent weeks including their leader nasrallah just this week. Nasrallah was hit inside the Nations Capital Precision by israel. Nate foye is in Tel Aviv. I have a quick question. In terms of this immonen does it look like people are moving out of the way . Im curious to know. That will tell us how fast iran is going to hit israel. Well, the Ground Incursion as you know, harris, is underway. I can tell you an exact number. It takes 12 minutes for a Ballistic Missile to travel from iran to where we are in israel right now. Its a waiting game. As you mentioned, according to a u. S. Official, iran has been noticed moving its missiles in recent days. And were expecting this attack to play out in the next 24 hours. What we dont know, harris, is the exact scale of it. The only Reference Point that we have is the only direct attack on israel that iran has launched, which they did in april after israel attacked an iranian consulate in damascus. That Attack Iran launched over 300 Ballistic Missiles, Cruise Missiles and drones but as you mentioned in your intro , this time it is different. Just days ago israel took out nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah for 32 years. Just hours ago israel launched a Ground Offensive into lebanon threatening one of irans biggest proxies. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had the message for the people of israel moments together. Together well stand steadfast in the trying days ahead of us. Together well stand and together well fight and together we will win. Take a look at this, harris, Tel Aviv Got Hit by hezbollah rockets this morning. They targeted the mossad headquarters. Two drivers got hurt by falling shrapnel. Israeli Special Units infiltrated Southern Lebanon dozens of times throughout the conflict before launching its limited offensive last night. They identified and dismantled the tunnel network, gathered intelligence and hampered hezbollahs capabilities during covert operations. We anticipate this pending attack, harris, there are thousands of additional u. S. Troops in the region including Fighter Jet squadrons that will defend israel from this attack and the u. S. Says if iran directly attacks israel, there will be severe consequences for iran. Well send it back to you. Harris there is so much going on every time i see a report with you. Thank you, nate foye, for getting the conversation started on this. Florida Congressman Brian Mast. Lets dig into what was just reported. He served as a volunteer in the israeli Defense Forces and sits on the house foreign Affairs Committee and served for our Nation Valiantly as well, too. Great to see you today. Lets dig in. I asked a question what it looks like on the lebanese israeli border. The reason i asked that question. If you know there is a Ground Incursion coming you will move some people out of the way, i get that. If you know iran will then come from another direction and join that, you will move everybody. Is that even a potential . Would iran do more than just hit israel by air . Look, i think what iran has to assess in the response that they give is probably two fold. Has
