Dana it doesnt. Jim desmond, County Supervisor in san diego. Thank you. Elite Israeli Forces rescued a hostage in Southern Gaza as we bring you that good news this morning. Welcome to a new hour of americas newsroom im dana perino. Bill is off today. Good morning to you, bret. Bret im bret baier in washington. Todays rescue is the first time in months that a hostage has been rescued alive. He was inside a gaza tunnel. More than 100 hostages are believe to remain captive. Some of them likely dead. The Daring Rescue really is something today. Dana it coincides with a new warning that irans aggression has reached an alltime high. Both sides appear to be stepping back from the brink of war for now. Reality is, bret, neither one of them really wants to fight a war against israel. They are aware israel is strong and the u. S. Is backing israel. It looked to us watching here like israel scored a significant victory over when hezbollah recently. It tells you a lot about the motivations of hezbollah and iran. Dana retired marine corps bomb technician joey jones with reaction. Bret First Trey Yengst live in tel aviv with more on todays hostage rescue. Good morning, trey. Good morning. Huge news today out of gaza where Israeli Special forces rescued a hostage during a daring operation. Elite Navy Commandos entered a tunnel in the southern part of the gaza strip and found a 52yearold bedouin man taken from southern israel on october 7th. The mans family was seen running through a hospital to greet him. He has 11 children. The rescue comes as lower level negotiating teams are gathered in cairo, egypt, to work toward a ceasefire agreement between israel and hamas. The conversations are moving forward with minor details being discussed such as the names of Palestinian Prisoners that would be exchanged for israeli hostages. But hamas has rejected the current round of discussions saying the terms changed from what the group agreed upon last month. With the war grinding on new Evacuation Orders were given to palestinians in central gaza yesterday and early this morning. These orders included the evacuation of a hospital that houses wounded and vulnerable gazans, the war in gaza continues amid the back drop of ongoing tension to continues to rise in northern israel. Israelis released new video of the preemptive strikes over the weekend. Fresh israeli air strikes and alerts in northern israel. There are parallel diplomatic efforts ongoing to avert a larger crisis. Bret thank you. Dana joey jones is a retired marine corp bomb technician. This is the first hostage rescued alive in the tunnels and so an incredibly complex layers and layers of complexity in order to get this done. He is a bedouin man, father of 11 children and he has been held for all this time. Thankfully found alive. Want to get your thoughts on that incredible rescue. I think first of all you dont get that opportunity to do that without an incredible amount of intelligence and information and you dont get the intelligence and information if you arent in Southern Gaza talking to people and getting information, getting eyes on. What this does for israel is that further substantiates their operations in gaza. Now there is a conversation to be had if they pulled out and all the hostages were brought back would that be a better path . We dont have any assurance on that. Israel believes that continuing their operation is the only way to get hostages back. It is amazing to go into the enemy territory. When we hear stories about vietnam and tunnel rats, men that would jump with a Flame Thrower and clean them out. Nothing easy about urban warfare and then tunnels underground it is amazeings. Had to be a scary moment for even the operators that rescued him. Bret iran is using proxies throughout this time, specifically the houthis with different strikes even on u. S. Vessels in those waters. Businesses insiders and top Officials Say u. S. Leaders Navy Commander who oversaw the red sea they there are critics who say this is kid gloves and that there is not a pushback, not only in adhering to sanctions, but also specifically action against these strikes. I think the calculation is if israel ends up in a threefront war the United States is absolutely adhered to it. I think there is a calculation that the Biden Administration will support israel more than perhaps the harris or Even Trump Administration would militarily. So perhaps there is a sense of not getting into something and handing it off to the next administration that comes in. Im not sure. What it comes down to is we have the hezbollah, hamas, houthis very different people with different goals and although they are all tied to iran they have their own operational manifest. So there is an opportunity here perhaps for the administration to go after iran and calm all three groups. The idea iran can put their thumb on all three is not the case either. You can go back as far as old as this country is. Marine corp first charge was to protect maritime ships in that region. We have a charge when it comes to our maritime ships to do that but to prevent ships from everywhere else i think that the entire region is on stand by. I dont know that the United States should be the ones stopping this but if we dont, who will . Dana joey, the other thing that happened that is incredible. A greek tanker hit by the houthis on fire In The Red Sea, an ecological disaster. The oil tanker and tons of crude oil poses a profound environmental threat to the region. The valdez caused one of the worst Environ Mentheal Disaster had less crude. Where are the environmentalists and the people gluing their hands to the van gogh paintings over the houthi terrorists causing this kind of ecological disaster In The Red Sea . Listen, in the Climate Change church the idea is to oppress the lives of the oppressor. The oppressors are the west primarily. Urps and americans. Its not the same rules for everyone. Not about what makes the environment safe. The United States produces the cleanest natural gas in the world. Terminals wont get turned online because the Biden Administration wont allow it. This idea theyll have some sort of reasonable approach. They arent reasonable in their ideas to begin with. To think they will be reasonable in condemning this or asking the administration to do more to stop this from happening, that really edges up against their inclination to support those who see the west as terrorists ourselves. Thats the line that Kamala Harris and joe biden have been trying to tow this entire administration. What we see now with harris inching toward a version ever moderate, she leaves joe biden looking like a bigger liberal. Its interesting to see some of these decisions made even militarily on what we do to deter Something Like this, where the support for it comes from. One thing we know on the right and left there is a lack of appetite for any type of war. Thats why i say that Trump Administration may not bring in the navy and take out the houthis. They may be more strategic. I think President Trump believes he can negotiate better and apply more pressure economically. With the ships being threatened it is only going to help russia out. I guess we call it geopolitical or economic factors that may be on the table that the Biden Administration hasnt been willing to play. We will make it harder on ourselves but allow for something that could be terrible for the environment or good for oil and gas to happen overseas when we have an interest in it. Dana thank you for being on. Bret thanks, joey. Russia meantime pounds ukraine for a second day with a series of extensive air attacks at ukraine aimed at targets across half of that country. At least seven People Killed including two in central ukraine. Kiev saying russia fired 200 missiles and drones that wounded more than a dozen people, damaged several energy plants. President zelenskyy calling the strikes vile. All of this coming as ukraine is reportedly preparing a list of longrange targets inside russia saying the military can strike if u. S. Weapons restrictions are lifted. Dana President Biden on vacation at his beach house in delaware. His second backtoback getaway this summer despite promising to finish out his term strong. Watch here. Hes very engaged. You know as well as i do the president of the United States, wherever they are, have access to all the communications and all the advisors that they need. Dana rich edson is live in Rehoboth Beach. The president is always on duty. What more have you learned . Thats right, dana. Another day at the beach. Another day of no Public Events on President Bidens schedule. There is intensifying fighting in europe and middle east and republicans claim President Biden is disengaged. He goes on vacation, comes back, he goes on another vacation. They are talking nuclear war, okay . We have a guy talking nuclear war. We have somebody that has no clue. It is terrible. She is worse than he is. Former President Trump speaking there. Russia escalated its attacks on ukraine. Fighting between hezbollah is accelerated and negotiations to reach a ceasefire and Hostage Exchange between israel and hamas. The white house maintains biden is engaged on all of this speaking directly this week and last to world leaders. They quote there is no such thing as a president ial vacation. The president is always working wherever he goes. After inheriting an economy in free fall and alliances in tatters from his predecessor President Biden created the strongest economy in the world and put us in a position to out compete china. Biden as allies say the president will remain engaged. President biden is focused on moving forward. Lots to do as you just mentioned in the remaining months that he will be president and he and the first lady have a robust agenda for their service to our nation after january. After his late monday address last week the Democratic National convention, convention originally planned for his Acceptance Speech he spent the remainder of the week in california. He landed in Rehoboth Beach sunday night for time at his beach house. Dana, back to you. Dana a nice place to be this time of year. Thank you.

Way more customers in the door than expected. Hurt profits and also customer wait time. Analysts say this really stemmed from bad management. The union group transitioned from being the restaurants top supplier to their largest shareholder and made a few questionable choices and may have forced red lobster to source shrimp exclusively from them driving the costs up higher. Beyond that new ceo red lobster is announcing they are shutting down 23 locations in addition to the 100 they shut down this year alone. So dana, the new ceo will look to improving the custos experience. Retain employees. All you can eat shrimp for 20 may not be on the map.

Bret the fight for the battlegrounds on full blast as summer is winding down. Republican president ial nominee j. D. Vance returns to michigan today where he is expected to hit the harriswalz campaign on electric vehicle, energy policies. Top issue for voters in the car capital of the world. Lets bring in michael whatley, republican rnc chairman. Thank you for being here. I want to play this sound bite from senator Warren Talking about harriswalz tax plans. Take a listen. Whats the first thing kamala wants to do . She wants a fairer tax system and her idea of a fairer tax system is we cut taxes for working people, we cut taxes for families with brandnew babies, and we make the billionaires pay their fair share to run this country. Some of it is not very sexy. Some of it is deeply detailed. It is always about who are you trying to help. Bret mr. Chairman, your thoughts about that description. Well look, Donald Trumps tax cuts that he got through during his administration were the largest tax cuts in history and they have had the largest impact on lower income families of any tax cuts ever. In fact, the lower Income Brackets actually got more benefit out of that than the higher Income Brackets, which is unfortunate that it is going to pass and that Kamala Harris has said she is going to let those expire rather than renew them. The tax package that donald trump is proposing right now is going to be the most fair for every americans. In addition to extending those tax cuts, he wants no tax on tips and he wants no tax on Social Security benefits. Kamala harris can wheel and deal as much as she wants in terms of trying to saying she wants to be fair. We have already seen this tax cuts, what she is proposing is the largest tax increase in the history of the country. Dana a columnist at the Washington Post says harris as a plan to tax the rich. It is not enough. The answer is always the same. Make the rich and corporations pay their fair share. The bad news is harris, like biden pledged not to raise taxes on people making less than 4 Hundred Thousand a year. Simply not enough to fund our existing commitments and expansive democratic agenda. They can keep making those promises but they cant keep them. Thats from the right. One of the things that the left will say is Donald Trumps tax cuts only went to the wealthy. I bet that Kamala Harris will flipflop and want to extend the trump tax cuts because she doesnt want to tank the economy if she were to win. Your thoughts on that. Well, she certainly has flipflopped on Everything Else when we talk about every single substantive issue she seems to be addressing at this point in time. There is a lot of flipflopping thats involved. The thing that i have to be curious about it is all coming from Anonymous Sources within the campaign. She has not gone out there and put any of these proposals on the table for herself. But if you take it at face value basically what she is saying is every single major issue over the course of her tenure in the senate and her tenure in the white house, she is now admitting she was wrong on those and she is going to try to walk them back. I personally have a hard time believing thats where she is going to end up because she has been so steadfast in wanting an open border and inflationary policies and wanting to weaken the American Military over the course of her political career that for her to go back the other say is going to be remarkable. Bret were told she will sit for an interview sometime this week. Well see if that happens. With it could be vetted in a debate scheduled for abc on september 10th. Back and forth about hot mics and not. Can you say today that the September 10th Debate is in fact going to happen . Thats the plan. President trump is very ready to debate. He has accepted the rules that were put on the table. Kamala harris is now coming in trying to change those debate rules. It is remarkable that she is saying she has to have notes. She needs a crib sheet and wants to sit down to have this conversation. President trump made it very clear he wants to have debates. He wants to have these conversations. And i think the American People really should relish the opportunity to see Kamala Harris standing up and try to tell people where she stands on these key issues without notes. Dana thank you. Thank you, guys. Dana we have some new developments in former President Trumps classified documents legal case. Special counsel jack smith is fighting the decision made to dismiss it.

Dana special counsel jack smith appealing to the ruling to dismiss the classified documents case against former President Trump. Trumps legal troubles remain far from over. David spunt is live at the Justice Department with more. Hi, david. On january 1st of this year jack smith hoped to take donald trump to trial twice and win both times. A tough year. Election d. C. Case is on life support and this florida case essentially was dead until he filed this appeal with the Circuit Court of appeals yesterday. A lengthy filing and he is making arguments that his appointment was 100 legal and 100 constitutional. He says the judge in this case screwed up in her logic and should have never dismissed the case. She dismissed it over concerns that jack smith was not lawfully appointed special counsel by garland who named his such in 2022. Canyon agreed that his funding was not lawful and appointment wasnt as well. He said the Attorney General validly appointed the counsel. The dmisconstrued and took inadequate account of the longstanding history of Attorney General appointments of special counsels. Trumps team has a month to respond to the brief. The judge overseeing the d. C. Case, attempted Election Interference was supposed to go to trial last march. She will hear how to proceed next thursday in d. C. Donald trump wont be in attendance and also scheduled to be sentenced next month in new york for the New York State case but both sides in that case the prosecution and defense are agreeing to postpone that. The judge has yet to sign off on that. Dana i bet that does happen. David, thank you. Bret joining us for more on this former assistant u. S. Attorney and Fox News Contributor andy mccarthy. Good morning. You have this piece in national review. Biden d. O. J. Appeals invalidation of smith appointment and dismissal of indictment. You think it is going nowhere . Well, it is going nowhere fast as davids report points out, trump has another 30 days to file a brief. We dont know when the 11th circuit will hear the case. Long after the election. There is sure to be a completely different reality. It will either be Kamala HarrisJustice Department or a donald trump Justice Department. But things will be very different by the time it gets decided. I think it is a sign, bret, that they just werent that interested in trying to push forward as hard as they could to get the case done because if you really wanted to get that case up and running you could do it in a few minutes. All it would have to happen is Attorney General garland could Reassign Smith under the direction of the bidenappointed United States states attorney in florida and he could be up and running now. Theyve decided to appeal instead. Bret another topic. Mark zuckerberg at meta and this letter to the judiciary committee. In 2021 he writes senior officials from the Biden Administration pressured our teams for months to censor certain covid19 content including humor and satire and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didnt agree. The believe the government pressure was wrong and regret we were not more outspoken about it. I also think we made some choices that with the benefit of hindsight and new information we wouldnt make today. He goes on to talk also about the hunter biden case and the disinformation and the squelching of those stories on his platform. What do you make of that in The Big Picture . Well, i think two things, bret. First it would have been nice to have zuckerbergs testimony in connection with the case that the Supreme Court considered at the end of the term where they basically found that the people who brought the case against the Government Officials who induced the tech didnt have standing to sue them. This might have helped that. The most important part of this is just to put it in context. Lets remember the election suppression of those stories was in the runup to the election in october and into november of 2020. The f. B. I. Got Hunter Bidens laptop in december of 2019. They knew for almost a year at the time that they put the pressure on these Tech Companies to suppress the story that the laptop was authentic. So to me i think the big story is not just the fact that you have government putting its thumb on the scale and intimidating Tech Companies into taking actions that government couldnt itself do directly, but the deceit here under circumstances where they knew the true facts a year before they put this measure on the Tech Companies is astonishing. Bret there is this want to continue censorship. The question is whether this letter is the beginning of opening eyes about how much that is happening. I dont have a lot of faith in that. I think that since around 2015, 2016, the f. B. I. Has turned russian disinformation into kind of a career path and they have a lot of people working on it. It is a thing notwithstanding the fact that if you go back in history, certainly since the cold war, political interference by the russian government in American Politics and the american Intelligence Agencies in soviet and russian politics has been a staple of modern history. I dont think it is either side or any one sensible looking at it would say that any of it has been even close to being decisive in an election. The f. B. I. Turned it into a career path. Bret as always, thank you. Dana well now to americas education crisis. One of the biggest problems is chronic absenteeism. How some schools are holding students and parents accountable. Plus this. [chanting and shouting] dana new year, same antisemitism. Will colleges stop the resurgence of hate speech this year .

Dana now to one of the most pressing problems in education. Problem for all of us. Chronic absenteeism spiked during the pandemic and not come down since. My next two guests are confronting the issue in indiana. Andrew hannah and mitch carroll. I listened to an interview you did. Tell us your approach when you go to a home and try to find out whats going on and try to get the kid back in school . We go on a casebycase basis, of course. And i like to tell people that our goal is not to be punitive but really what were trying to do is the end goal for us is we want kids to go to school. Its been bally hoed for many years the reasons why kids dont go to school and we want to make sure what impediments are there and how we can clear those hurdles to get kids to go to school. Dana if you look at test scores and declines tied to absenteeism. Grade four down 8 . Reading this breaks my heart. Grade four, 45 down. Grade eight, 36 down. This is not just a problem in indiana. This is happening everywhere. At what point do you have to apply the law to this . Well, we started to see a decline in attendance during covid as many School Systems across the country did. We have six School Systems and private and charter schools. We wanted to attack the issue of making sure kids are getting to school. When you talk about test scores and performance 90 is showing up. Making sure that kids are getting there in the first place and that they are receiving the full Educational Opportunities they have here in Madison County. Dana mitch, i think one of the things you find is you will go to a home and find out maybe the grandmother is raising the child and the child says he has anxiety, something might be happening in the school or in his life. What can you do or do you have an example of how you have been able to convince somebody doing homework out of a book they got online for 15 minutes a day is not enough . Thats the big thing i think were worried about. The Socialization Aspect of it. Unfortunately the measurables are not behaviorals, we know its negative and take those on a casebycase basis. We do have a lot of families in Madison County throughout the United States another battle were fighting. Grand parents today not to say they arent in there pitching but more difficult proposition than it is just to be a parent. Im a grand parent myself and sometimes you lose touch with whats going on currently. Im entering 39 years of Law Enforcement. Nothing new under the sun. Hopefully i am a good resource person in the sense i trow i to tell people when i am on her front step or front room i dont have all the answers but ill find somebody that does. Dana andrew, one of the reasons that you would like these kids to be back in school so that you dont end up seeing them in a courtroom later on. You are absolutely right. As a Prosecutors Office we have very few tools to proactively prevent crime. Usually were having to react to cases that Law Enforcement bring us. But one of the things we can do, education is the silver bullet. To escape a cycle of poverty and crime, if you get an education your chances of being incarcerated as an adult are much lower. Your chances of having Substance Abuse issues as an adult are much lower. Im fully committed to using all our resources making sure we prevent crime in the future and not just dealing with the cases brought to our office. Dana what surprised me learning more about you, this is a fulltime job and you do it all day long every day. There is not enough kids in school. I wonder if you could leave us with good news. Do you have an example of a story that turned out well in this case . Absolutely. I always tell people, you know, handshakes, hugs, we just want kids in school and ive done all three. Taken kids to school where i said its like tomorrow ill go to school. Its 10 00 in the morning. Today is a good day to start. Well get them there and get them started. We have had thats where were looking for is that one case but we have had many in the past 2 1 2 years where weve got Kids Afending School regularly that had fallen into absenteeism. Were finding some positive, dana. Dana we love to hear that. Thank you. It is an important issue, andrew and mitch. We appreciate you and will stay in touch. Thanks for shining a light on the problem. Dana thank you. [shouting and chanting] brett that scene is playing out again as students return to campus for the new school year. Nate foye live in new york city with more on this. Good morning, nate. Good morning. On the first day of classes at Cornell University you just heard students again chanted antiisrael slogans while vandals spray painted this on campus. Take a look saying israel Bombs Cornell pays and blood is on your hands. The vandals also smashed the glass at this administrative building. The school says it is appalled by this and Campus Police are investigating. Meanwhile the anonymous vandal reportedly explained the crime to the cornell daily sunday Student Newspaper saying we had to accept the only way to make ourselves heard is by targeting the only thing the University Administration truly cares about, property. This also happened on the first day of class. [shouting and chanting] so students here called for divestment from israel. Some on campus say the University Needs to do more to protect jewish students. New York Governor Kathy Hochul met with 200 College Leaders yesterday and according to a statement from her office the governor reinforced the importance of Emergency Plans as students return to campus. As for the vandalism at cornell the school says whoever did it will be subject to suspension and criminal charges. Bret. Bret nate, thank you. You got it.

The idf releasing new video taken after the successful rescue of an israeli hostage from Southern Gaza. He is a 52yearold man. You can see him here moments after the rescue shaking hands with Israeli Soldiers and then this is video of a helicopter transporting him to a hospital where he is going to need care. Bret, they said he is in good spirits. He looked very thin. He has been underground apparently for all these months nearly a year. Bret amazing. A complex operation to go into the tunnels. Israeli forces have rescued eight hostages alive since october 7th. Theyve recovered several more bodies. Still believed to be more than 100 hostages remaining and maybe 30 plus of them are likely dead. But this is an amazing story. Success story that it is great to see. Dana amazing, too, were in the middle of the hostage negotiation discussions, right, that hamas wont participate in. Iran is playing a role. If you are a citizen of israel. The pressure is on netanyahu indeed for that as well. Bret okay. Now this. It is Peak Mons Mosquito Seasona Spike in west nile. A rough for go dr. Fauci, the former advisor to President Biden.

If you got this west nile you wont get bit by a mosquito and give it to someone else. They get it from birds and pass it back and forth through birds, not humans. Again, you cant transmit this humantohuman. Cdc has recorded more than 200 cases. Often symptoms are fever and chills. Many times almost 80 there are no symptoms at all and people dont know they have it. It is spread to more than 30 states. Bad in massachusetts where they had to put a curfew in place in some parts and new york city to spray overnight trying to reduce the number of mosquitoes. Back to you. Bret thank you. Dana thats a terrible story. I hate mosquitoes so much. I dont want to see any of them here. Before we go you have to help me with this one. Professional baseball player Danny Janson Made History Becoming the first person to play for two teams during the same game . Apparently this is what happened. Janson was on the Toronto Blue Jays in june when they played the boston red sox. The weather pulled the plug on that came in the second inning. Rescheduled for yesterday. In the meantime, the blue jays traded him to the red sox so he finished the game playing for boston. That is something. Bret thats the same game. He is on both sides. Thats pretty cool. Dana who won . Bret thats a big question. Dana something i should check if i do a sports story. Dont know who won. Toronto won. Congratulations to the blue jays.
