[sirens] >> mike: israeli forces hit an ambulance outside of shilpa hospital in gaza. a gaza health ministry spokesperson says a number were killed or injured. israeli defense source tells fox that terrorists were inside using the vehicle as a mobile unit. the idf says several terrorist operatives were among those killed. hamas releasing its own video from inside gaza as the idf and hamas battle street to street. [explosions] >> mike: and face to face. [explosions] >> israeli army now completely encircles gaza city and tightening the perimeter. under ground the idf says it exposed and neutralized hamas tunnels under gaza by rigging the tunnel shafts with explosives. israel defense forces spielman says that's how this war is being fought in a matrix of tunnels. >> hamas is under the ground, embedded inside the civilians of gaza with hostages. that's the challenge of the fight. >> the idf now in control of a hamas military strong hold in jabalia. they say they have uncovered battle plans, maps and communication equipment.

>> casey stegall in dallas, thanks. senior defense officials are talking about another way u.s. is helping israel. this comes as president biden projects confidence that u.s. citizens will eventually get out of gaza. white house correspondent peter doocy has the latest tonight live from the north lawn. good evening, peter. >> good evening, bret. right now president biden is inside geiger elementary school in lewiston, maine. that is where he is meeting with the loved ones of those murdered by robert card last week. >> jill and i have done too many of these. >> a fresh call for gun control outside the bowling alley attacked by a gunman last week. >> this is about common sense, reasonable, responsible measures to protect our children, our families, our communities. >> on the way to maine the window into president biden's thinking on the israel-gaza war remains closed. >> president biden, [inaudible] can you give us an update? >> aboard air force one, officials confirmed a large group of americans is exiting gaza into egypt today. that's as the pentagon announced american drones have been operating in the skies over gaza for weeks to support hostage recovery. >> americans trying to get out of gaza right now. >> contain the mideast war? >> do you have a camera? >> secretary of state blinken admitted in israel that tough questions accompany the u.s. ask for israel to pause military operations. how to connect the pause to the release of hostages. how to ensure hamas doesn't use pauses or arrangements to its own advantage. >> an unsatisfied benjamin netanyahu says no pause. >> israel refuses a temporary cease-fire that doesn't include a return of our hostages. israel doesn't allow fuel to enter the gaza strip and is against transfer of funds to the strip. >> and we'll see whether or not that changes the white house's approach to this war because even though president biden has not been sending u.s. troops to israel or gaza, he has been sending a lot of advice. and it doesn't seem like netanyahu is taking all of it. bret? >> bret: peter doocy live on the north lawn. peter, thank you. fox news has obtained a letter from hunter biden's lawyer asking the u.s. attorney for the district of columbia to investigate hunter's former associate, tony bobulinski, claiming he lied to the fbi about the nature of his business relationship with the president's son. fox news digital has exclusively obtained bobulinski's response through his attorney. the statement denies bobulinski lied. it calls on president biden, hunter, and the president's brother joe to -- jim, rather, to testify publicly with him before congress. the new house speaker has his first political win. mike johnson was able to push through a stand alone israel aid package despite some defections from within his own party. however, the fate of this measure still uncertain. congressional correspondent aishah hasnie tells us what's next. >> tonight, $14 billion in additional u.s. aid to israel is in limbo. senate democrats unwilling to take up a house passed israel only package paid for with cuts to the irs. >> the house bill is dead on arrival in the senate. >> that defiance comes after 12 house democrats crossed party lines thursday and joined republicans in passing the package. >> for me it was personal. my grandmother escaped the holocaust as part of the kinder transport. >> their leader unfazed. >> my republican colleagues were openly speculating that we were going to lose 50, 60, 70 democrats. >> but house republicans hope that support will pressure the senate to negotiate as senate majority leader chuck schumer plans to introduce a larger bill to mirror president biden's $105 billion request, tying israel aid to ukraine. taiwan, the u.s.-mexico border, and humanitarian aid for gaza. senate republicans are already pushing back. >> i think that's going to undergo significant change before it gets republican support. >> even offering an alternative pay for. senator tom cotton posting on x a 6% tax on endowments of america's top 10 universities, many of which are failing to condemn anti-semitism would raise 15.4 billion. more than enough to pay for our aid to israel. so, bret, in the coming weeks, we could see some serious negotiations to try to divide up some of these issues. for example, house speaker johnson would like to bring up ukraine aid separately. g.o.p. leader over in the senate mitch mcconnell isn't opposed to that, as long as republicans get some sort of real border security in exchange for that and democrat leader jeffries told fox just today that house democrats will consider whatever comes out of the senate in good faith. bret? >> bret: aishah, the t senate started confirming some major military promotions held up by republican senator tommy tuberville but that issue does not seem resolved yet, right? >> not at all. you are right though, democrat leader chuck schumer was able to confirm three nominations this week through regular order. this is a process that takes some sometimes a couple of days per person. there are more than 300 nominations still out there up in the air. this week two frustrated republican senators joni ernst and dan sullivan blasted tuberville on the senate floor after he blocked their attempt to bring those nominees up. tuberville calling the g.o.p. criticism character assassination, bret. >> bret: okay, aishah. we will follow it. thank you. up next what the october jobs numbers mean possibly for your financial situation. and a verdict in the sam bankman-fried trial. we'll get analysis from charles payne of fox business. later, dramatic video of another anti-semitic incident at prestigious college campus now being investigated by the fbi.

where do you see the economy? >> charles: yeah, definitely connected. almost a perverse way for the average american to think about this. but the stock market wants the economy to come down, slow down that's the only way to keep the greerve from doing things that will make it even worse for the economy it's a crazy thing that we would have fewer jobs than anticipated and less wage growth than anticipated and fewer hours as anticipated and the stock market would rejoice. we have had prior months were revised much lower. and only 90 -- 90,000 private sector jobs. bret, what we are looking at is almost all government jobs, at least a large chunk of it for the last several months. the private sector is something is going on there. you see -- there is not a lot of lay off per se. but certainly people are getting fewer hours and their wages aren't going up anymore. you are is going to start hearing now the next big call in this country on economic side will probably be when is the recession going to begin? >> bret: yeah. we saw the fed saying they are going to hold off on the rate increase now holding their cards about did possibly doing it down the road. we will see what happens. i want to get crypto-currency with sam bankman-fried and the court coming back with that guilty verdict. you have a lot of other folks tied into ftx tangentially. you put up earlier today this structure of all of these stars and how they were kind of tied into it and also the corporate structure and how complex it is. you're saying -- you're hoping it doesn't stop here? >> absolutely, bret. this is one of the biggest financial ripoffs in the history of america. there is no way that he just came up with this on his own. that structure was amazing, you know. it allows you to have the facade of a business, that takes in 1.2 million customers. and their statements told them they had over $11 billion in assets. in reality, there was less than 3 billion. only 800 million of that was liquid. and somehow to steal that money out the back door. intricate program. and, listen, i want them to find out what the folks in silicon valley missed. these are the largest venture capitalists in the world. i want to find out what they knew and why they missed this. because once you get the stamp of the certain people in silicon valley, everything else goes from there. you get the interviews. you get -- you know, is he going to be altruistic. he wanted to change the world. make all his money and give it away to everyone. after all he was overgrown hippy who just wanted to do good things. obviously, that was not the case. i don't think it was the case from day one. what did a jury of unsophisticated people, when it comes to technology, get right in just four hours that all of silicon valley and wall street missed? or did they miss it? we need to keep digging deeper and deeper and deeper into this because i have been a massive critic of what has happened to the american public through the wall street silicon valley pipeline of new companies that go public and we though them and they are great and use the product. they are so overvalued that when they go public they never make money for the investors. so, back of the envelope, at least, a trillion dollars in the last 20 years of overexpensed ipos that have gone public that were too expensive. the hype factor was there. what did they do? they got the interviews with. they did commercials. >> i saw a commercial for a company down the stock is 90% down. something is wrong. as a nation we need to find out what is going on because we can't be the exit strategy for a handful of people who get the first bite at the apple over and over and over again. sam bankman-fried did not walk in the office smartest people in the planet and hood wink them. he couldn't hood wink a jury. by the way it took 20 hours to get bernie madoff indicted. four hours, you could see right through this guy. why couldn't the richest, most powerful people in the america do it? please don't stop the investigation. we know campaign finance is up next. a lot of lawmakers have to answer for taking this money. he was writing legislation. he was writing it for the crypto world. we have to figure out this moment in truth. this is our chance to put this to make things right. i'm an advocate for people investigating. i'm an advocate for the stock market. make it fair and honest. >> bret: there is a lot of probes still ongoing. we will see how this one continues. charles, as always. we appreciate it?

>> bret: c.b. thank you. tonight we are learning that two schools criticized for their response to anti-semitic received your tax money in addition to the sizeable donations they already receive. gerri willis takes a look at the numbers tonight. >> that's right. we are talking about harvard and the university of pennsylvania those two schools recent analysis by open the books finding that they have received billions of dollars in taxpayer money over the past five years. the analysis showing that between 2018 and 2022 harvard received over $3 billion in total federal payments, which includes federal grants and contracts while u. penn received over $4 billion in payments. harvard and u penn are now collecting more on government contracts and grants than they are from undergraduate student tuition. now the two schools have faced criticism for their response to anti-semitic event on campus. they are also receiving billions in tax breaks due to their nonprofit 501(c)3 status. many public and private universities, including the entire ivy league are not subject to federal income tax. essentially, universities are only taxed on their payroll and the net investment income of their endowments. and let me tell you those endowments are sizeable. harvard has the largest endowment in just over $50 billion. and, of course, charitable donations are the primary source of funds for endowments. the university's largest donors are voicing displeasure. business leaders and law firms are urging schools to take a tougher stance on anti-semitic acts committed by their student body. some even pulling their money entirely. now, these universities could even have legal exposure. attorney mark gress ler plans to represent jewish students in a lawsuit against universities like cornell and harvard. listen. >> we're going to use title 6 of the civil rights act of 1964 to force universities what they should have been doing for years now, namely comply with the law and eliminate the hostile educational environment they permitted to fester and grow on campus if you get federal funds, then you have to comply with federal law. >> lawmakers on capitol hill have even suggested looking into colleges' tax exempt status, although nothing has been announced as of now. bret?

started at betterforthem.com >> first, we need to continue to prevent escalation of this conflict. second, we need to do more to protect palestinian civilians. it matters because failure to do so plays into the hands of hamas. >> war is not perfect. this idea that you are going to bat a thousand in war, the american government doesn't bat a thousand. >> we are sleep walking into a cease-fire that benefits hamas, benefits iran, and all of its allies like russia and china, it's a bad decision. >> well, there is this talk about a pause by the secretary of state, by others, by the president, matthew continetti with the free beacon has this article out called let israel win. and in part it says this: hamas could end all of this tomorrow. if released the hostages, put down its arms and surrendered. hamas, not israel is the aggressor. hamas, not israel is the occupier of the gaza strip. hamas, not israel rejects international law. hamas, not israel steals food, fuel, and water from civilians. and the fact that these words need to be written at all is evidence that the culture producing institutions of the west, the media, the universities, culture and political celebrities are enrepresent problemmably broken. i commend that to you. it's an interesting read. with that, let's bring in our panel. morgan ortagus, former state department spokesperson. byron york, chief political correspondent of "the washington examiner" and leslie manner, democratic-- strike that jits. morgan, what about that? you know, hamas should be the one surrendering, giving up the hostages. and that's the cease-fire on that side. >> i even hesitate to use the word hostages because we know that hamas uses these people they use them as human shields. hamas is not seeking a two-state solution and independent state for the palestinian people. they are seeking from the river to the sea, to completely wipe out the jewish people and the jewish state. and they don't mind -- listen, there is reports today on twitter. there is firsthand accounts of palestinians that were gun downed reportedly by hamas trying to escape. they are slowly trickling and letting americans out. we have to remember quote unquote humanitarian pause, cease-fire, whatever you want to call it. i think we are playing semantics here. any pause gives hamas advantage on the battlefield whenever israel is in very, very military combat to try to eradicate the physical caliphate of hamas similar how there was a caliphate of isis. i would remind everyone that there is nothing that hamas is doing is for the palestinian people or for a brighter future for them or even for a two state solution. >> bret: yeah. leslie, it's not to take away from the concern about civilian casualties, and civilian fatalities inside gaza, but why is the onus not on hamas in the way that we talk about it? >> yeah, it is very interesting. hamas is a terrorist organization and terrorists tadarrius. terrorize. that's what they did a few weeks ago in israel. that's what they have done before. but, sadly, the world, and the people of gaza, don't see hamas bombing the church they are taking refugee in, whether they are christians or muslims. they -- the doctors that the say, look, we don't have the water. we don't have the supplies. you know, we can keep saying hamas is cutting everything off. we, egypt and other countries are bringing supplies. in it's just not enough for the number of wounded. so something has to change. and it's not just the rhetoric. there are many -- and i would disagree with morgan respectfully. i adore her. but a cease-fire is very different than a humanitarian pause. and for give me for sounding extremely cynical here but a humanitarian pause is sort of like let's patch everybody up so we can send them back home to come back and get hurt again. that doesn't solve anything. it doesn't free the hostages. it doesn't protect the children, thousands of children that have died and hundreds of thousands more that could. you know, we look at our own country with our own military the best in the world and arguably israel has the second best military and intelligence in the world. with usama bin laden, we sent in special forces. we didn't kill any of his family in the same house he was sitting. in we didn't carpet bomb all of pakistan. even people that were hiding him or knew that he was there. you know, there has got to be a different way. now, the united states may not be in agreement with me on that, but certainly many throughout the rest of the world and the eu especially. >> bret: i will pound out from having covered the pentagon six years during that time. there were a lot of drones that dropped a lot of bombs on a lot of al-qaeda leaders that also killed a lot of civilians and nobody was saying for the u.s. to pause or push back this is not to say matthew continetti is our fourth panelist here. he ends with this. why not say a different strategy. israel has a right to protect sitsself. hamas is responsible for every life lost. and america will stand with israel until the job is done no. more equivocation and dithering and obedience to the politically correct. israel will win. it's not portrayed that way, you wonder how this is rhetorically going to move forward from here. >> i'm not surprised at secretary blinken appears to have failed here. i mean, the fact is israel is a sovereign nation. and even if you give them a lot of aid, which the united states does, you cannot dictate to them that they do something that they feel would be very damaging to their national security. now, not everything that the secretary was saying here was wrong. and if israel does go ahead and just flatten gaza and kill untold numbers of palestinians, they will pay a price in reputation and relations with other countries and in their own security. but, it's not something united states can just go over and tell another country to do against their own security. >> bret: morgan, last word here about what we're seeing on the anti-semitism front on college us campuses. you know, we did that piece about tiktok. a lot of kids get information from tiktok. and it's exponentially that way. either pro-hamas or pro-palestinian in some way, shape, or form. >> our young generation is being radicalized on tiktok. this is the same version of tiktok that the chinese communist party does not allow for their young people, for their children, because they know as mike gallagher has pointed out it's digital fentanyl, it's poison for the mind. also on telegram as well we are seeing the same problem. lawmakers in the united states are going to have to make a decision. they know that young people are being radicalized on tiktok and so far nobody is willing to do anything about it. >> bret: leslie, last word. >> well, i would agree with the tiktok issue. i have two teenagers and it is the struggle, i think any of have you teens or kids in general it is a struggle. but, at the end of the day, sadly, there throughout campuses anti-semitism, there was a palestinian woman, you know, who has been heckled repeatedly and this is caught on video at johns hopkins. the universities have to do more to protect all of their students from all religions. >> bret: yeah. all right. panel, thanks so much. make it a great weekend. ♪ ♪ >> bret: it is friday
