Transcripts For FOXNEWS Americas Newsroom 20241003

[sirens] dana growing threats of a wider war in the Middle East after Yesterdays Barrage of ballistic missiles from iran that has left israel vowing retaliation. When it comes well wait to see. Welcome to a new hour of americas newsroom, im dana perino. Good morning. Bill thats what we call a quick turn around from Last Night. Good morning. Im bill hemmer. Good morning at home. The Middle East moving closer to a longfeared regional war the day after iran launched a massive Missile Attack against israel. First time it has ever been this intense. Israels Prime Minister saying iran made a big mistake and it will pay for it. The Uss Cole. Senator Tom Cotton saying israeli retaliation against iran could affect the Balance Of Power in the Middle East. Israel has a chance to inflict massive retaliatory damage on iran and remake the map of the Middle East. Thats good not only for israel but good for us and our interests and our citizens in the region and all our arab allies. They didnt say a single word critical of Israel Yesterday as it was saying that it will strike back against iran. Dana fox team coverage. Eric shawn at the u. N. Where a Security Council is holding an emergency meeting. First Jennifer Griffin at the pentagon. Good morning. Good morning, dana. The pentagon is still assessing how many of irans ballistic missiles were shot down by the Dozen Interceptor missiles fired from two guided Missile Destroyers in the eastern mediterranean, Uss Cole and buckley. They employed the ballistic Missile Defense System to shoot down some of the incoming missiles. Lloyd austin spoke multiple times to his israeli Counterpart Yesterday issuing the following statement. We condemn this outrageous act of aggression by Iran And Call on iran to halt any further attacks, including from its proxy terrorist groups. We will never hesitate to protect our forces and interests in the Middle East and to support the defense of israel and our partners in the region. A message echoed by President Biden. President biden the attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective. And this is testament to Israeli Military Capability and u. S. Military. Make no mistake, the united states is fully, fully, fully supportive of israel. The Pentagon Saw signs that iran was preparing for a ballistic Missile Attack when it began moving Missile Launchers following the killing of hezbollah leader nasrallah last friday. All of the 181 ballistic missiles were fired from iranian territory, none by hezbollah and the houthis. Something they have been monitoring. Certainly it was a significant attack. Probably about twice the size in terms of scope of what we saw earlier. The Pentagon And State department said the u. S. Was not given a headsup in advance by iran. A u. S. Official tells Fox News Iran has been at a state of readiness to launch an attack on israel within 12 to 24 hours since early august following the July 31st assassination of Hamas Leader In Tehran. The question is what comes next. Dana Jennifer Griffin. Thank you so much. Bill what comes next at the u. N. Is this. Emergency meeting now u. N. Security council underway. Tensions in the middle. What to do there and next the u. N. Is no friend of israel. Eric shawn is live outside the u. N. To bring us the latest. What are you hearing inside . Good morning, bill. You are right. The general assembly has voted to condemn israel and stop arms shipments to it. The emergency Security Council meeting about to get underway here at the u. N. Any moment now. It has been called by israel and france to counter the aggression of iran against the Jewish State. The israeli u. N. Ambassador telling those diplomats here iran wants to basically destroy the Jewish State and also is calling for the irgc, to be designated as a Terrorist Organization. Israel will not Stand By in the face of such aggression. Israel will respond. Our response will be decisive. And yes, it will be painful. This comes as the united Nations Secretary General has been banned and barred from entering israel. Israeli foreign declared him persona non grata. Calling for a Deescalation And Ceasefire and has not condemned iran and Terrorist Organization attacking israel. He gives backing to terrorists, rapists and murderers from hamas, hezbollah, houthis and iran, the Mother Ship of global terror, will be remembered as a stain on the history of the u. N. We are now ready for the meeting to begin and see if the Secretary General issues a response to that attack. Bill Eric Shawn across town here in new york. Thank you. Dana former congressman Mike Gallagher Head of the defense division. Want to play for you from President Biden yesterday on basically noncommunication with netanyahu. Have you spoken with Netanyahu Today . President biden i have not spoken to him. Weve spoken to his people. I will be talking to him and my message will be when we conclude whats needed. What the consequences for iran should be . President biden that remains to be seen. Thank you. Dana why not speak to him, mike . What used to be a policy, a shared bipartisan policy having no daylight between the united states and israel been destroyed under the biden administration. An incredible amount of daylight has opened between the two countries. More broadly as our Secretary Of State in recent days bragged about in the pages of Foreign Affairs the biden administration built their approach to the region around this idea of showing iran a path back to mutual compliance with the iran deal. The problem is that focus on resuscitating the lifeless corpse of obamas iran deal actually resulted in us neglecting the fundamentals of deterrence. So we should be working hand in glove with israel, our closest ally in the region, to restore deterrents. Remarkably israel is showing that path back to deterrents. Israel is winning. We need to let Israel Win and stop Hamstringing Israel at every turn. Bill play another clip. October of last year. This is three days after October 7th, right . 2023 and here were the questions about hezbollah, hamas and iran. President biden i have one word, dont. Dont. What is your message to hezbollah and its Backer Iran . President biden dont. Dont, dont, dont. Dont. Dont. Iran in this moment . President biden dont. Bill netanyahu has taken matters into his own hand. The u. S. Military is there. Two of our ships were used to shoot down missiles from iran. That says something. What is your guess about what Action Netanyahu takes . We can show the map. This is the place where ballistic missiles have been made for decades and maybe even the nuclear program. Is that the target . Is netanyahu willing to take it out . Well, i actually think the Center Of Gravity in the conflict now is in Southern Lebanon. This Morning Israel launched a strike against Hezbollah Stronghold in Southern Lebanon. The last Weeks Worth of activity in Southern Lebanon revealed 1,000 Terrorist Sites armed to the teeth with advanced weaponry from china and iran. Would have made October 7th look like childs play in comparison. The first step to restoring deterrents is supporting israel to degrade and destroy hezbollah as well as its effort to continue the destruction of hamas. We can systematically destroy the houthi rebels. We need to start taking things away from iran. It could be billion. The millions of dollars in sanctions relief. The iranian Spy Ship in and around supporting the houthi rebels or offering them a simple choice with respect to our nuclear program. Behind Door Number one is a massive strike that will destroy the program. A lot of people will get harmed because of the bad choices of the regime. Door two is helping you have access to a beautiful civilian nuclear program. In my mind those are at least three steps we can take to start restoring some semblance of deterrents in the Middle East. Dana im good at asking some dumb questions. Watching how many ballistic missiles were aimed at Israel Yesterday, does israel have enough defensive weapons in order to continue to protect itself if this keeps up . I think if you had an attack from multiple fronts from the north lebanon, from iran itself, and proxies operating within israel itself we dont know if the gunmen in after jaff if it was timed. If you start comparing the April Strike by iran to this attack meaningful changes in the tactics, techniques and procedures. In this attack they didnt use the slow moving drones they used the first time. They tried not to activate all of the israeli defense systems. It seems to me they are probing and testing and looking for weaknesses in the system and why we need to get back to being hand in glove with the israelis. We need to make sure we are doing everything we can to provide our advanced technology to insure that israel has the means to defend itself from what is an existential threat. They would have been armed with nuclear weapons that they fired yesterday. Imagine if they were. Imagine if thats the future we allow to take shape because we have a bad policy in the region. Bill i thought Benjamin Netanyahu did a Video Message for the iranian people yesterday. It was very effective, i thought. I dont know how many people in iran saw it. Your leaders are selling you down the river. Find your way to a better life. You have so much to offer. The jewish people and persian people can come together and think about the history you have there. You made very interesting points and im struck by this. If you go after iran first, you would have left yourself open to hamas and hezbollah. But if you neutralize hamas, if you neutralize hezbollah and the houthis in yemen then you have a window of opportunity. Yeah. They are all connected to the iranian regime. They are the Action Arms of the iranian regime. Think of iran as the head of an octopus. If you cut off the tentacles, whether hamas, hezbollah, our own Intelligence Community described as the a team of Terrorist Organizations or increasingly the houthi rebels you generate the momentum yes, sir to roll back the entire malign iranian Threat Network in the region. Keep in mind for the reason you just alluded to, the people of iran dont like the regime and the increasing economic distress in iran notwithstanding this Administrations Attempt to provide sanctions relief. The regime In Tehran is in a very precarious position. All of this gets back to basic point. We need to have confidence in ourselves and our allies that we are the super power, our values are better in this fight and we need to push back aggressively. The policy has been premiseed of the idea of restraining israel versus deterring iran. We need to flip the logic of that strategy. Dana congressman mike gallagher, thank you for joining us today. Bill thank you, sir. I think you have a tough job here. You have to play whackamole. Dana a fiery showdown. They went toetotoe in the Vice President ial debate. Bill the last thing the wobbly economy needs.

Bill United Nations Security Council meeting following up on the attacks out of iran. Who knows what theyll say . Think they will extend some grace toward israel . Dana no. I think thats a no. Bill u. N. Secretary general a moment ago. Roll the Sound Bite here. Since october, exchanges of fire have expanded in scope, depth and intensity. I stated that almost daily exchanges of fire by hezbollah and other nonstate armed groups in Lebanon And Israel defense forces are in repeated violation of Security Council resolution 17. 01. I emphasize that the daily use of weapons by nonstate armed groups is in violation of Security Council resolutions 1559 and 1701 and i stress that lebanese Sovereignty And Territory integrity must be respected and lebanese state must have full control of weapons throughout lebanon. Dana the u. N. Secretary general basically they are criticizing israel in plain sight for the world to see saying they understand however, but i would love to ask him sir, why did it take you so many months to send a team from the u. N. Relief agency, the womens group, to go . I would love to ask him some questions. Bill Benjamin Netanyahu as of two hours ago was in Tel Aviv Meeting with his War Council what it amounts to. They will make decisions and what decision they make we do not know and what their time frame is we do not know . Dana it is jewish Holiday Today as well. Bill thats happening at the u. N. 20 minutes past. Lets move to Last Night. Dana there was a debate worthy of a heavy weight bout. They took off the gloves over abortion during last Nights President ial debate. One of their most heated exchanges on one of the most contentious issues. Griff jenkins has live reporting from washington. Hi, griff. Good morning. And abortion is harriss strongest issue undeniably and walz treated vance as an antiabortion activity. We have to do so much better of a job at earning the american peoples trust back on this issue where they frankly just dont trust us. I want us as a Republican Party to be profamily in the fullest sense of the word. I want us to support Fertility Treatments and make it easier for moms to afford to have babies. The fireworks flew when be vance challenged walz. The statute you signed into law says a doctor who present sides over an abortion where the baby survives, the doctor is under no obligation to provide lifesaving care to a baby who survives a botched late term abortion. Thats not true. That is fundamentally enter bret i can. That is not the way the law is written. Minnesota is one of nine states and the District Of Columbia that doesnt restrict abortion. While walz refutes vances claim that doctors have no obligation to save an infant the statute was rewritten in 2023 removing the Preservation Life Statute of the born alive language changing the term instead to simply care for the child. Now, while vance may have oversimplified the point, prolife critics argue the law was specifically rewritten to water down the lifesaving language. Dana griff jenkins, thank you for the update. Bill Bret Baier joins us. We call it a quick turn around. On x Last Night his team immediately tweeted out the language in the law. The law in minnesota says there is no limit. The law that walz signed they took out the paragraph and that is what griff is talking about there. So who is right . Looks like Jd Vance is more accurate as far as how the law was written. Of the Topics Governor Walz probably hit his stride in the abortion topic. There were a number of questions on it and he told those personal stories of women in restrictive states trying to get abortions. That was probably one of his best moments and maybe towards the end when he asked about 2020. But for the most part, this debate was dominated by Senator Vance and he was very prepared, very ready. But also i think trying to be likable and trying to be more appealing to not only women but independent voters after a lot of coverage to the negative up until this point. Dana he refused to take the bait from the moderators and answered calmly. He didnt have to yell. He was persuasive without that. When we talk about civil Discourse And Polarization part of it is you speak calmly it can help. Here is vance talking about the economy. This didnt come up until a half hour into the debate but watch here. Tim, i think you have a tough job here. You have to play whackamole, you have to pretend that Donald Trump didnt deliver lower inflation, which of course he did, and then you also have to defend Kamala Harriss atrocious economic record that made gas, groceries and housing unaffordable for american citizens. Dana economy is the Number One issues for all voters. How did you score that Last Night . He went to the well where he went a lot of times which is Vice President harris has been Vice President for 3 1 2 years. Why hasnt she done x, Y And Z . She has been in the job. When you turn and say that it hits like an anvil. It is just the fact. You can say you are going to do a bunch of different things and be the change agent, but you were in office for the last 3 1 2 years. Not the president , but in office. Bill June Of 1989 is a day of infamy in the country of china. Thats tinmen scare. He said he was there. This is his answer Last Night. Governor, just to follow up on that. The question was can you explain the discrepancy . I got there that Summer And Misspoke on this. I will just thats what ive said. So i was in Hong Kong and china during the democracy protests went in and from that i learned a lot of what needed to be in governance. Bill it gets worse. That was the Knucklehead Thing here. David axelrod called him out on it. Watch cnn. Look, i agree with you. The China Answer would have been best delivered in chinese for as understandable as it wasnt. Bill a lot of us were thinking that. Bret that answer, you have to know thats coming. Thats preparation. Dana bash interviewed him. You have to know the stolen valor question. It has been in the news is coming. There was again no answer. It was sort of like i said it wrong. He said it wrong numerous times. When you are at a big historical moment like that protest, you are there. Thats that and when you are there the month before and it doesnt really track, it is a problem. Dana Eddie Haskell was a knucklehead. Lying about where you were in order to pad your resume or to fluff up what your experiences are is not necessary. I think that if they were trying to appeal to men Last Night on Harris Campaign Walz did them no favors especially in that answer. Great to see you. Ill see you later. You have a podcast, did you know that . Im on your podcast. Thanks for being here. This a little closer to home. New York City mayor Eric Adams back in court arriving moments ago fighting to get one of the charges against him thrown out. Why his lawyers say he cant get a fair trial in the big apple. Plus immense destruction across the southeast as the Death Toll from Hurricane Helene keeps rising. This is like a katrina on steroids. We have people on oxygen completely out now. We are are only provided a single 12 Hour Tank at most. Babies up there without formula, nothing. Im sam morrison. My Brother Max recommended you. So, my best Friend Sophie says youve been a huge help. At ameriprise financial, more than 9 out of 10 of our clients are likely to recommend us. Our neighbors, the garcias, love working with you.

With the money i saved i thought id get a Wax Figure of myself. Oh right in the Temporal Lobe beat it, punks only pay for what you need. Liberty, liberty, liberty, Liberty Bill you have seen so many pictures and they dont get better. Asheville, North Carolina, the drone in the air. For the people who live there, this is the kind of Day Theyve grown accustomed to loving. The sun in the sky, clouds in the distance. Everything on the ground is just a mess. Families torn apart, homes on top of other homes, victims of Hurricane Helene growing desperate in supplies, electricity running low. Fox weather is back live in boone, North Carolina near asheville with our report from there today. What did you find . Here we are 25 minutes just off to the west of boone, North Carolina in a very small rural community of cove creek. Ive been committed to trying to get out to these communities to tell these stories. Im standing on what is a bridge that has been washed away by what once was the stream of the cove creek. Became a raging river. At its peak more than ten feet out of its banks brought cars rushing downstream. Those of which are tangled up in power lines. We did see Power Crews out here. They are committed to trying to clear up some of these branches, pick up some debris. You are looking at the Washedout Bridge right now. All of this water well up over my head. The debris is incredible. I did see just a couple of minutes ago people on horse back, including a doctor that were getting up into the hollers behind me to do welfare checks. As of where i stand right now, what i know in this county in North Carolina, two have been confirmed dead to landslides. They are getting their power back and Water Boil Water advisories have been lifted. Bill thank you for that. President biden will be there this afternoon. Spartanburg and raleigh. Jane, thank you in boone, North Carolina. Thanks. Dana were joined by someone personally affected by helene. Life long resident of Black Mountain, North Carolina dedicating her life to teaching children and she has never seen this level of devastation. Missy is with us. Thank you for joining us. I think it is important for all of us to hear from somebody like you who lived there your whole life. Describe what has been like for you in the last 48 to 72 hours and i can see on your face it is hard to talk about. Lets do it together. Turn over the microphone to you. Thank you. Weve seen our friends and neighbors lose their homes. We have seen classrooms of children who have no longer have their homes. We are hunting for teachers. We have 23 teachers out of our list they havent been able to find. Ive been a teacher in Black Mountain for 25 years. I have been a resident there for 48. And weve never experienced anything like this. We dont know school is out indefinitely. That is where many of our families receive food, services like their therapy, physical their pee. It was their community. Talking about little children who have only experienced the pandemic and then had one month of normalcy to their lives and then now this, it is just devastating. Dana your inlaws are also unable to get out, is that right . No, my parents were at my In Laws in charlotte and we were able to coast down and help them out. There is no gas available. We are picking up supplies here to take back. My parents, there is no road. My cousin lost her house. But they are there and they are feeding the Fire Department and working together because, you know, a community is not buildings, a communitys heart is in its people and we are all working together and as you can see the destruction is just overwhelming. That is my church kitchen. They fed almost 1,000 people yesterday. There is no water. There is no electricity. There is no gas. Dana let me let you cash your breath for a second. I want to mention a couple of things. We have the images. Steve riley wrote in the Washington Post in black Mountain Weve seen hurricanes. You think you are ready for the big one. You have been through hurricanes and tropical storm storms as before. It cant be as bad as the forecasts say but it can. Today you will have a visit from the commanderinchief. I know that will probably reassure people there that hopefully more help is on the way and will be there for a sustained time. Is there anything you would love to make sure that they know both President Biden and Kamala Harris as they head to that Region Today . We need so much help. We dont want to be forgotten. Our communities all hold hands with Each Other. Black mountain we want to know our children go to school together. Were not separate. We need things like baby formula, baby food, pet supplies, we need outreach. We have a group of nurses who are off duty that are setting up a medical station at First Baptist Church and we are trying to do the best we can but we just need help. Dana misty, we hear you and we will continue to cover this story and stay in touch with you and pray for you and hope for the best. Thank you so much, dana. Dana take care, stay safe. We have to stand unequivocally with israel right now. The biden administration has tried to play both sides. Tried to appease iran and what has gotten us into this dangerous situation. Were on the verge of World War iii. Bill he slammed the administration for a weak Foreign Policy that led to Irans Attack on israel. Republicans trying to crank up the pressure on iran. A fight over Fact Checking. Why cbs In Realtime Cut the mics of what will be the only Vice President ial debate.

Lydia hu from Fox Business is back at the Port Of Newark in New Jersey watching this story. Covering it really well. Pretty soon going to pitch a tent it looks like. Whats the latest . Hi there, bill. You can see hundreds of workers are back here at this Picket Line here today in elizabeth, New Jersey back with their signs. Moments ago there was a long line of Truck Drivers who drove past and honked their horn like this one to show Solidarity And Support for the workers on strike. Here it does appear that talks, negotiations in the strike remain at an impasse. The maritime association representing the employers urging The Union just before the strike got started earlier. [inaudible] exceed every other bill okay, i got it. Thanks. Lydia, apologies, a lot of breakup in the signal out of newark. If there an interview you want me to toss to i can do it for you otherwise well continue to watch the story from here and update viewers as we get them. Lydia had the Interview Yesterday with the head of The Union. I tell you what, he let us all have it. So back to lydia in newark throughout the day and keep you posted what is happening with the strike. A lot of sparks flying on the Debate Stage Last Night. Jd vance pushing back on the cbs moderators with a rule that candidates would be responsible for Fact Checking Each Other and not the job of the moderators. It went like this. Just to clarify for our viewers, springfield, ohio does have a large number of haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected status. But margaret, the rules were that you werent going to Fact Check. Since you are Fact Checking me i think its important to say whats actually going on. An application called the Cbp1 App that you can go on as an illegal migrant apply for Asylum And Parole and granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. Thank you, senator, for describing the legal process. However, we have so much to get to, senator. We have so much. That has been on the books since 1990. Thank you, gentlemen. Gentlemen, the Audience Cant hear you because your mics are cut. Bill man, i havent seen that before. Kennedy and byron york. How did you score that . Just as it was getting interesting they cut the mics. I cant get that. After the debate, the trump people were happier with cbs than they were with abc for the trump harris debate. Which they viewed as abc is a complete disaster. Bill you were in the spin room. They viewed this as a total disaster with abc but very happy with vance because clearly we had heard cbs say the candidates, up to the candidates to Fact Check Each Other. Who will Fact Check us the moderators . Thats where vance turned it around on them. Dana when they turned off the mics, it was our group and watching together. Bret and martha have done debates. Theyve done many and know the rules very well. As soon as that happened, everybody in our room went oh, you are breaking the rules. Dana traveling during the nba finals. You cant do that. Those are the things you agree to to get everyone on tunneling. We only have two debates between the four candidates it is critical we get to hear everything and the moderators abide by the rules. Abc, moderators looked like absolute hacks with onesided Fact Checking during the trump harris debate. It was a clear violation. Also in the middle of the debate . Sometimes in order to get to the meat you have to have the heat. It is in these heated moments that the candidates really press Each Other and thats when the voters are most attune to it because we want to hear those answers especially when there is a little bit of emotion involved. Jd vance having done as many interviews as he has, this is what has served him and why he can Fact Check in realtime. He has had to develop knowledge to push back on these slanted moderators and hosts. Bill roll the video. The dials that they were doing with the Focus Group here when that happened. The republicans on top really went what are you doing there . And there are where the lines intersect. To your point, david axelrod. He was sharing the same idea that Walz And Harris dont take questions and just like any its Batting Practice and throwing a football. You have to do reps. Here is what axelrod said about that. I think he will do a little bit by the absence of the president ial and Vice President ial candidate on television since they became the nominees because thats how people get to know you and they havent really spent a lot of time with either of them before now. So i also think that it may be a little bit of a problem for walz having not done this. Bill to the point, Harris On Monday made a Statement Off Paper at fema, took no questions. Harris on tuesday made a statement about israel, took no questions. Harris today is going to the southeast. She is going to make a statement. Will she take any questions . No, she isnt going to take any questions. Walzs worst performance was in answer to the Hong Kong question which he knew was coming. He just and finally had to answer the question and say i misspoke. The Hard Question given to vance. What about the terrible things you said about Donald Trump back in 2016 and now you like him and are his Running Mate . What about that . Somebody who worked on Vances Campaign for senate. He did more than 75 Town Halls and at every single one of those town Halls Somebody got up and said man, you said all this bad enough about trump and now you like him. Whats going on . Vance has answered that question A Million times and knew how to handle it. I thought some of vances responses were absolutely masterful. I knew he was going to do well going into the debate. Not only when he had to talk about his past statements with President Trump but when he talked about abortion it was the most emotional it was the warmest and most empathetic answer he could have given in that moment and i think thats one of the main things that people will take away from the debate. Dana all right. Great to have you both. Thank you so much. Great coverage. Embattled New York City mayor Eric Adams arriving in Federal Court moments ago. The latest on his case next. It wasnt hard with cologuard®, i did it my Way Colohuh . Cologuard cologuard is for people 45 at average risk, not high risk. False positive and negative results may occur.

Israel is promising retaliation after iran attacked with the largest number of ballistic missiles, were told, in history.
