security is ironclad. our commitment can't mike laments ironclad. >> our commitment to israel's security remains ironclad. >> the to israel remains ironclad. spew on the white house says time and time again it is caught ironclad but the white house confirms it is slow walking a shipment of weapons fearing it could escalate the operation and rough and that's where we begin as we begin the new hour and john roberts in washington >> jacqui: thanks for having me back i am jacqui heinrich this is "america reports" paired criticism from lawmakers in both parties saying it sends a signal to hamas. speak of the administration continuing to turn against israel continuing to pressure israel. >> that there should be in a kind of conditions it should be on hamas and its enablers and its benefactors. >> it may be the worst blunder yet of his administration around the world. >> john: what messages the sending to to israel and hamas? we will ask our spokesperson for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu moments from now. >> jacqui: first edson live on the north lawn. what is the administration's reasoning for this delay? >> well, jacqui, officials say they have paused a shipment of bombs over concerns is really endemic they would use that against rafah. they have paused any massive operation there. >> we don't want to see a major operation happening in rafah we want to see a comprehensive plan on how israel plans to protect the 1.5 more than 1 million civilians that are currently seeking refuge in rafah. >> defense secretary lloyd austin is reevaluating and no decisions have been made here they have ordered civilians to evacuate rafah and is targeting border areas. there are ongoing negotiations in cairo between hamas, israel, the u.s., and egypt between a possible release and the cease-fire. of democratic senators have pressed president biden to hold weapon sending and others say he they are extremists. >> under the heat of political pressure from his party's anti-israel base and the campus communists who decided to wrap themselves in the flags of hamas and hezbollah. we have seen his administration cave into growing demands to condition decisions to our democratic allies. >> yesterday biden spoke at the capital to remember holocaust victims he stressed as he showed that his coming to israel is ironclad. the white house press secretary was also asked about george washington university and up the road from the white house the police declared the encasements they are that his jean-pierre has said repeatedly over those operations are across the country that it is up to university presidents and local police. jacqui? speak to rich, thank you. >> john: let's bring in heinrich spokesperson for benjamin netanyahu. this is what "the new york times" says is in this shipment a total of 1800 2,000-pound bombs in 1700 500-pound bombs again because the administration is concerned they could be used in the campaign in lawful. i asked josh allea and i will ask you too as the biden administration and president biden acting in the best interest of israel or the best interest of the his reelection campaign? >> well, john, thank you for having me on and jacqui. in that respect that can specifically request the specifics of such reports but what i can tell you and i think it is really important to emphasize that today is that since the beginning of the war in october 7th our war objectives has not changed and the same goes for the u.s. backing of these objectives. these are to bring back our stolen people, the hostages, back home all 132 of them to destroy hamas' military and company capabilities and to ensure gaza will never ever pose a terror threat to us again. now it is no secret that there is some disagreements with certain issues in the specifics of this war between washington and jerusalem but in the big scheme of things we do cii. we have our ways advice we take from best friends and share concerns with best friends but we have our ways to do these things in earlier this week our war cabinet took a unanimous decision to go into rafah specifically the operation right now focused on the eastern part of rafah for several reasons we have discussed before. is a very strategic city to obtain all of our war objectives. >> jacqui: i want to ask you how did this decision arrive because biden did not tell congress. >> i can't discuss on air specifics of the communication of the nature of the coming acacia end. >> jacqui: what was the reaction question work >> i am in new york right now. we have ways of conveying such messages between washington and jerusalem and media chancel's stomach channels. >> john: you imagine this came up in a white house gaggle with john kirby and here is what he said about withholding ammunitions. >> our commitment to israel's security remains ironclad. we don't as a matter of course talk about individual shipments one way or another, but again, nothing has changed about our commitment to israel's security. >> john: but if president biden is withholding weapons deliveries to israel how can his support be ironclad? it seems to be the very definition of conditional support not ironclad. >> president biden sent mike since october 7th has stood by israel and in israel which was very substantial. he said don't to our enemies don't try us don't test this -- >> john: and they did. >> they also stood by us and helped us repel against iran moving assets into the region and so forth. we are working together on increasing humanitarian aid into gaza that peer that they are involved at. they want to make sure they are able to achieve all of the war objectives. we want to say we don't want to agree with every's single small detail with our friends in washington but we have ways of conveying such messages holding these not in the public eye. >> john: but to your point that the u.s. and israel got together and defeated the fusillade of weapons that iran fired toward israel knowing that iran has been proven to be a toothless tiger. why doesn't netanyahu asked biden to demand an unconditional surrender from comox and return all of the hostages living right there remains? >> i think it goes without saying. everyone -- >> john: no one is asking for an unconditional surrender from the white house. >> everyone wants to see hamas surrendering. everyone wants to see hamas defeated. everyone wants to see all the hostages back home. everyone wants to see a gaza that will no longer be a threat to israel. and if there are various ways to achieve these goals. there is no substitute for a victory a total victory in this war because we know what the alternative is. israel refuses to be butchered, burned, and raped again which is why we are operating in rafah now. >> jacqui: tall, can you tell us what the immediate impact will be of these weapons not arriving? what is the real effect? >> i think we will have to wait until the idf will address that matter. it is not something i can discuss at this point. as the idf spokesperson donnie hug ari just said i think a few hours ago in israel and i can only echo his words here today. such issues pertaining to these reports that you just brought up are things that are being discussed behind closed doors. >> jacqui: lastly how is the administration expressed to israel the way in which it would support eradicating hamas? because we hear them say they are backing israel and its intention to eliminate the terrorist threat but also seem to be watching pressure on israel to pull it back. what do we hear on the other side meaning go forward? >> i can speak for israel here and say we know what it means to destroy hamas' military capabilities and other governing take my capabilities. this is by the way one of the reasons we are in rafah right now over the past 24 hours or so of taking control operational control of the gaza side of the rafah border crossing for instance because that was a key artery that helped hamas establish their terrorist regime in gaza from which much of the ammunition and funneling in over the years but rafah is very, very strategic to the goal mentioned. we know for a fact there are hostages here and hamas operational battalions there and probably other key figures in the organization so it is vital they operate there. >> john: and president biden is saying hands off rafah, thank you for joining us, appreciated. >> thank you, john. >> john: some pretty significant operation conducted by the idf israeli defense force and they took out a man named hochman only in their navy so they say that was an operation i think in the northern part of gaza and took him out but of course everybody is wondering where is this yaya seymour? will he be taken out? >> jacqui: i think also what i am intrigued by is the administration is straddling this messaging issue right now. ironclad commitment versus pulling back the arms shipment and at the same time they say they want to eradicate, loss, support israel in eradicating hamas but you saw earlier this week when israel complained about the cease-fire agreement and the fallout after that israel complaining that we feel like the u.s. wants the cease-fire and the hostage deal at the end of the war and the u.s. admitting anything they negotiate the hope will be built into something enduring. you can't build and then an enduring cease-fire and also eradicate hamas at the same t time. they are inherently in conflict. >> jacqui: the two things cannot coexist. i think israel's probably a little more upset about what's going on. >> jacqui: she did a good job of hiding it if that's the case. the boy scouts of america changing its name for the first time in its 114 year history and a move to make it more inclusive. but the change isn't sitting well with many. >> john: plus npr national public radio under the microscope on capitol hill over allegations of widespread bias, but its own ceo is skipping that hearing. joe concha will weigh in on that coming up next. >> i think to call it a propaganda of the democratic party is a little short is more of a operation for in-kind contributions to democratic campaigns. speak of this program is brought to you by joint health supplements. help support your dog's health with joseph quinn always dry scoop before you run. listen to me, the hot dog diet got me shredded. it's time we listen to science. one a day is formulated with key nutrients to support whole body health. one a day. science that matters. here's to getting better with age. here's to beating these two every thursday. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need... ...without the stuff you don't. so, here's to now. boost. voices of people with cidp: cidp disrupts. cidp derails. let's be honest... all: cidp sucks! voices of people with cidp: but living with cidp doesn't have to. when you sign up at shiningthroughcidp.com, you'll find inspiration in real patient stories, helpful tips, reliable information, and more. cidp can be tough. but finding hope just got a little easier. sign up at shiningthroughcidp.com. all: be heard. be hopeful. be you. her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. >> they are not covering republican hearings, npr doesn't want to cover republican hearings but they will give 45 hours to the january 6th committee where the republicans weren't even allowed to select their own members. it is not hard to figure out. is npr biased? listen to it for an hour. it's not difficult to figure out it's not rocket science. >> john: media watchdog slimming npr on claims of bias in the organization. npr's ceo catherine mar was invited but was a no-show. they called the hearing after a veteran editor sounded the alarm on npr's political bias. let's check in with fox news contributor joe contra. contra. there is a history of political statements including "the new york times" a tweets that has been deleted that that "also, donald trump is a racist post-court appointed "the new york times" there was another post in 2020 where she was wearing a joe biden campaign had. the npr spokeswoman is about laura said this that she was not working in gen journalism of the time and was exercising her first amendment right like any other citizen but here is the secret. we know it is in heart, joe. >> precisely and if you hire catherine mar and her excuse for not attending is laughable she said it's a scheduling conflict. i'm sure when they called to attend a hearing you find a way to clear your itinerary for the day and here you see her in the biden hat from a couple years ago. simple fact is catherine mar has never worked directly in journalism or for any news organization. she has been a democratic activist for most of her life. in the last election as you saw she was supported joe biden. she gave money to stacy abrams' super pac and during the riots of 2020 there are tweets to prove that as well. she is openly advocated for censorship and deep platform and political people she does not agree with including donald trump. so given her extensive history with progressive causes and groups, john, how can any sane and sober person believe as ceo of npr she can be remotely objective regarding for example this upcoming presidential election where she clearly has a horse in the race at this point and an ideology that can be regarded as radical. >> john: on that point here is what the npr spokesperson is bullard said stepping to the role she, mark, has upheld and fully committed npr's code of ethics in the independence of the newsroom. the ceo is not involved in editorial decisions but according to berliner who wrote that article about political bias at npr, the newsroom has its own problems. >> the numbers prove that, right? ira berliner did an internal poll and found that 87 democrats work at npr ended 0.0 republicans worked there. if you look at the statement when it was launched 55 years ago when it was created, john it was to "speak with many voices and many dialects." mar has set herself that npr's greatest strength is its diversity but it is clearly missing the most important diversity at all, diversity of thought and exchange of ideas and obviously objective reporting that looks at both sides of a story and doesn't inject opinion into every story from the left but that is clearly no longer the case. you just have to wonder people at home are saying why am i still paying for this? why are my taxpayer dollars supporting this particular organization when clearly they are not succeeding in their mission to simply report the news without bias? that is why it calls for npr to be defunded to keep happening but it should be noted may be 10% of npr's total budget comes from government funds directly and indirectly. so it would still be sold to are we giving taxpayer dollars to it? epic a lot of people are asking that question, john. >> john: it's a private organization with millions of dollars in revenue last year. i looked into this to do this with you. less than 1% of npr's budget comes from the federal government but about 10% comes indirectly from federal, state, and local governments. there is a substantial old piece of money and taxpayer money going to support npr. based on the fact that 11% of the funding for npr comes from the government is it not sort of incumbent upon mar to show up when a committee asks her to go to the house? >> exactly i think it's a rhetorical question. she said she will give her testimony in writing. and that is not the same as sitting on the hot seat there and having to take questions and follow-up questions in terms of how you are running this particular organization. she looks cowardly and maybe she just realized, john, she can't defend the indefensible because when you put up those streets like we did earlier in the segment showing all the things she has said and where she comes from from a political and ideological perspective i don't see how this could have been a very good day of her so i guess she figured don't call me i will call you. >> john: do we have that picture we can put it up one more time when she was in arizona? she had the biden campaign hat on? yeah. it might've gone away, there it is. there we will leave it there. and deposit the question of why she didn't show up at capitol hill. thank you. >> jacqui: chaos erupting after police finally cleared the anti-israel encampment on george washington university's campus. how the fallout could bleed all the way to the dnc. we will break it down with fox news contributor marc thiessen. >> john: plus leaders of school districts on the u.s. how anti-semitism may be spreading to students as young as pre-k, that is coming up next ♪ i have type 2 diabetes, but i manage it well ♪ ♪ jardiance! ♪ ♪ it's a little pill with a big story to tell ♪ ♪ i take once-daily jardiance ♪ ♪ at each day's start! ♪ ♪ as time went on it was easy to see ♪ ♪ i'm lowering my a1c! ♪ jardiance works twenty-four seven in your body to flush out some sugar. and for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, jardiance can lower the risk of cardiovascular death, too. serious side effects may include ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration that can lead to sudden worsening of kidney function, and genital yeast or urinary tract infections. a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this infection ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. you may have an increased risk for lower limb loss. call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of infection in your legs or feet. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. ♪ jardiance is really swell ♪ ♪ the little pill ♪ ♪ with a big story to tell! ♪ hi guys! bill, you look great! now that i have inspire, i'm free from struggling with the mask and the hose. inspire?

because that is not permitted under united states law. >> jacqui: backlash is growing over the far left groups tied to into israel protest funding as employees cleared of the anti-israel enchantment on george washington university's campus. now there are reports of protesters making violent threats toward school administrators over the moon. let's bring in decent fox news contributor and senior fellow, mark we are talking about this video showing a mock trial being carried out blocks from where the president is. where you have school leadership being sentenced to the gallows. the school's president calling police to show up and not showing up, i mean, really, they gave her a pass for not coming into answer why it's so much time passed. >> imagine if there were a bunch of white supremacists holding a trial and starting to lynch black administrators. it would not be okay but since it's again jews it's okay. they do not represent the majority of students but with the majority of students are afraid to say so at dartmouth i will give you a great example at dartmouth within two hours of it they clear the entire encampment and arrested 90 people. right? the student government senate had a vote of no confidence in the president of dartmouth. they had a public vote and the motion of no confidence passed by 13-2 but the student president vetoed it so they had a second boat which was in private and it lost 8-9. when they were having a public vote, they said they supported the protesters but when they were allowed to vote in secret they lost. because these people are intimidating people. they are making them afraid. it's not just the jewish students it's the other students that support the jewish students who are afraid because they don't want to be called supporting genocide they don't want to be canceled on their campus so it is threats and intimidation it has to stop. >> john: senator john fetterman who is becoming the most interesting person in washington was seated where you are last night and suggests a lot of these people have no clue what this is all about, but he did say this is the net effect listen here. >> it's actually working against peace in gaza. hamas is convinced they won the p.r. war and they keep seeing all these kinds of protests across the nation on these campuses. we can't ever forget they are the ones that started this. they are the ones that broke that cease-fire. they did the most terrible things to babies, children, women, tortured, mutilating, systemic rape. >> john: loss of life in gaza is a terrible thing for your loss of life in israel is a terrible thing but hamas is perpetrating this and for every person out there supporting hamas they are supporting a terrorist organization that wants to keep doing october 7th over and over and over again. >> number one i love john fetterman and i'm sorry for everything i said about you, you are awesome. number one. number two, the idf released yesterday audio of a phone call between the idf and a family in rafah that they were calling to tell them to please evacuate get the children out and the guy said no we will not evacuate. we love death of the way you love life go ahead, kill us all. first of all when did the nazis college jews to warn them? they never do that to warn them out of time. the idf's goal is to kill the terrorists and protect the civilians and it's the terrace putting the civilians in harm's way. if you go to the ukraine right now and the russians are attacking the civilians are in the subways to protect them from the bombs. and the armed forces are at the top fighting the russians. in gaza it is the opposite. the terrorists are in the subways hiding from the bombs and they are punching the civilians up to take the bombs in the face. they are using them as human shields. these people are evil they have to be stopped. we should not be pressing israelis to withhold and pull back on the offensive. >> jacqui: you know the president did to his credit remind people of that fact that hamas could end this tomorrow. that hamas started this and that hamas terrorists created this whole situation but took them also so long to say it. evidently it took them so long because there are people in his orbit who did not believe it was going to be a factor in the election. but looking ahead to the dnc with chicago's mayor already saying they are ready, listen to this. >> we are prepared for the dnc perry my vision to ultimately for the dnc is to have a safe energetic, vibrant convention. and confident we will be able to deliver that making sure that those who wish to protest and demonstrate as they should be able to that were doing that in a safe, secure space. >> jacqui: either way whether they break it up or let it happen it reflects on the president. they have not figured out how to handle it yet. >> first of all the speech he gave the other day was great but it was -- the reason he did not do his both sides are bad routine and mention islamophobia was because it was a holocaust ceremony so he would have been booed with a jewish audience. that's why he didn't say the things here's the thing. he supports the same things the protesters do. they are demanding immediate permanent cease-fire and a stop to the war. that's what joe biden is trying to do. why are the protests continuing the way they are? because they are working. want is joe biden doing? he sent tony blink into the with middle east. withheld the shaman of weapons to try to stop the assault on's before he is doing their bidding. he is doing exactly what they want. if you are a student protester why would you stop? why do not go to chicago and keep putting pressure on him because you are putting pressure on him and he is putting it on netanyahu and you're getting results on the ground. >> john: with the president said in the holocaust remembrance on capitol hill yesterday aside, when we see mike emanuel's terrifying report on anti-semitism being from kindergarten to 12th grade on college campuses across america it appears to be the beginning of the normalization of anti-semitism. in this country. that is a page right out of the nazi playbook of the 1930s. >> yes the way to advance a movement as indoctrinate the children. what we are seeing as a result of decades of indoctrination. this is a direct result of critical race theory and all of the other things we have been talking about because what is critical race theory question markets dividing the world into the oppressed and the oppressors. the oppressed can do no wrong and the oppressors can do no right. when they look at october 7th through that prism, well, the palestinians are the oppressed so they can do whatever they want. if they want to rape and burn babies in ovens and burning people alive that is resistance. if you are already the old press or do no right. it doesn't matter if the idf calls and warned civilians they are coming. if they are going into rafah they are wrong. this is the ideology we are imposing on our children we see the fruits of it for the first time through the prism of what is happening in the middle east. it has to stop. we have to root crt and this whole ideology out of our education system. >> jacqui: the president certainly spoke up the first time but what i haven't heard him say recently is we support israel's right to go after hamas. he heard john kirby say that very vocally yesterday or the day before. but we have heard only out of the administration lately we need to protect civilians we haven't heard so much about the need to eradicate terrorists until john kirby said the other day so maybe there is a turn. >> john: also fundamental contradiction between don't go into rafah and eradicate hamas. >> you can't have one without the other that's the only way to have peace is to eradicate hamas. >> john: good to see you. >> john: coming up why the boy scouts of america is changing its name after more than hundred years. >> jacqui: plus another american arrest in russia why his family blames his girlfriend next. >> about a year and a half ago he started seeing her. we don't know much about her. you know, except he was seeing her. i said please don't go i don't think it will end well for you.

>> jacqui: for more let's bring fox news contributor dan hoffman and former cia station chief. dan, everyone knows you are not supposed to go to russia right now. a u.s. soldier should know that. why would he go? >> he should not have been allegedly carrying on an adulterous relationship it looks like for a couple of years with his russian girlfriend in south korea. and she was deported back to russia and was in vladivostok and i have no doubt based on the information we know in the direction of russian intelligence she lured him to russia. he never should've gone. i am sure the u.s. military is doing a deep dive right now to determine what went wrong. did he ever report this for a national contact with the criteria country like russia? why did he not pay attention to the state department travel advisory which forbids travel to russia? lots of unanswered questions here but as john correctly stated we have another hostage. even though this is his fault and a grave error in judgment on his part we can't leave him behind and now we have to try to get him out. we know vladimir putin extorts us and drives a hard bargain. >> jacqui: we saw that play out with brittney griner. we returned the merchant of death notorious arms dealer victor bout to get her back but with the end goal russia already has aaron gursky about chen paul wheeling. more concessions? >> yes well vladimir putin has a list of his own citizens he would like return. one of them committed murder in germany against a chechen. he would like to get him back on the germans thus far are refusing and he might think, vladimir putin might think this might tip the balance that the united states may put enough pressure on germany so putin can get his way. it is nasty asymmetric warfare, and i'm extremely disappointed. i think all americans should be that our military in south korea didn't do a good enough job of tracking their own personnel or warning them of these potential dangers. russia is a major threat and this is a tried and true as mentioned it's a honey trap. i am quite sure she was reporting to russian intelligence in her relationship with sergeant black. >> jacqui: let's play for you what sergeant black's mom said it sounds like there were people other than the soldier that knew about this woman and what she was trying to do in russia luring him there should they have stepped in? listen to this. >> she was trying to ask us for money. it was over facebook. she wanted me to set up another account and send money. >> how much money was she looking for? >> $600. >> jacqui: an adulterous relationship and apparently one that other people around the soldier knew about enough to have contact with the family. you know, how do you get the message out effectively if what we see happen with evan and brittney griner isn't penetrating through? >> look, evan did absolutely nothing to cause his arrest. that was vladimir putin's dictatorship war machine. seeking to extort us by arresting him wrongly. he is a journalist that never should have been arrested brittney griner allegedly brought minute amounts that she was vaping i guess hash or marijuana with her. a relatively small offense. and vladimir putin, he got the merchant of death back from united states incarceration. in this case, alexandra was posting videos on tiktok reportedly for a couple of years she was not having this relationship which makes it even more egregious. that no one stepped in and said hey, staff sergeant black, maybe this is not the best idea. we need to get you some help. we need to send you to the united states. and not allow you to be overseas anymore. all of this should have been caused to send him home rather than allow him out as he was to make this grave error in judgment as well as the united states of america. >> jacqui: so noting you refer to this as a honey trap understanding i guess from that in the rules of spy fair to set this kind of a trap does the u.s. military need to come indicate to soldiers that they have a particularly strong duty not to go to a place like russia when you have the state department advisory that is been out forever but a soldier especially may get a different response from the u.s. government citizen? >> i can tell you when i served in the ca i worked with the state department and other agencies closely to provide really good counterintelligence in the threat we faced from russia intelligence. and yes the use of honey traps has been going on forever since the cold war. look up the clayton lone three case in the 1980s where the russians used a honey trap against him at the embassy in moscow to gain access to our embassy. he initially had a relationship with a young woman and ended up working in the kgb. that is how it worked, it's kind of disgusting they would use their female officers that way. that is what they do. we have to do a better job of warning our people of these risks or they will pay the price. >> jacqui: dan hoffman thank you for joining us we appreciate your time. >> john: always good to see dan he knows so much about this. remember maria bettina from back in the day of the trump administration? some people didn't get that memo. >> jacqui: it seems like we had enough cases that it should be in the back of people's minds. we feel for this soldier. hopefully it works out. >> john: beware. >> jacqui: be right back. gold allion, lady liberty with no hassles, re are relief from both bipolar but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. to finish e... it... your wealth. -630-8900 to receive your free rosland guide to gold, remember. keep it simple. make gold your new standard. to let in the lyte.” and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. caplyta can cause serious side effects. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. anti-depressants may increase these risks in young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. caplyta is not approved for dementia-related psychosis. report fever, confusion, or stiff muscles, which may be life threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements which may be permanent. common side effects include sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, and dry mouth. these aren't all the side effects. in the darkness of bipolar i & ii depression, caplyta can help you let in the lyte. ask your doctor about caplyta. find savings and support at caplyta.com. this is the all-new tempur-pedic adapt mattress. and we designed it to help make aches and pains a thing of the past. because our most advanced, infinitely adaptable tempur material eases your pressure points, inch by inch and molecule by molecule. in a way no other mattress can. all night. every night. during the tempur-pedic memorial day sale, save up to $500 on select adjustable mattress sets, and experience deep, undisturbed rest. learn more at tempurpedic.com >> tech: does your windshield have a crack?
