00:00coverage this evening. Lucas Tomlinson is at the White House with more on the Biden administration's
00:04response. And Fox News contributor Byron York is standing by with reaction to the latest escalation
00:10in the Middle East. But first, Alex Hogan live in Tel Aviv with the latest from the front lines. Alex.
00:18Hi, John. It has been weeks of tensions here in the Middle East with Israel bracing for what
00:24could be an attack by Iran or its proxies. And today was that day for Hezbollah. So
00:29the Iranian-backed group carried out this attack, launching more than 320
00:34drones and rockets toward Israel, all of which the Iron Dome quickly managed to make interceptions.
00:40For at least most of those, Hezbollah says that this was revenge for the death of Fawad Shukur,
00:45the senior Hezbollah commander who was killed in an Israeli airstrike last month in Lebanon.
00:50Hezbollah claims that it waited to strike because of political considerations like the ceasefire
00:55negotiations. Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, spoke tonight saying that the group
01:01will assess whether these attacks were enough or if more will come in the future. Regardless,
01:06he argues the attacks send a message to Israel and its allies.
01:14Our operation today, in any case, may be very useful for the negotiations for the Palestinian
01:19side or the Arab side that is negotiating alongside the Palestinian team. And its message
01:25is clear to the enemy and to those behind the enemy, to the Americans, that any hopes of shutting
01:30down the supporting fronts, whether in Lebanon, in Yemen or in Iraq, these fronts that are actually
01:36open, these hopes are dashed. Before any of that, Israel carried out a preemptive attack around
01:43five this morning, the military deploying about 100 fighter jets to hit 40 Hezbollah launch sites
01:49in southern Lebanon and destroy thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels. The IDF
01:54released this footage of its jets refueling in Lebanese skies. Israeli Prime Minister
01:59Benjamin Netanyahu argues that his military actions send a signal back to Hezbollah and Iran.
02:09We are hitting Hezbollah with surprising blows. Three weeks ago, we eliminated his chief of staff
02:14and today we foiled his attack plan. Nasrallah in Beirut and Kiamini in Tehran should know
02:20that this is another step on the way to change the situation in the north and return our residents
02:26safely to their homes. This was the latest look at U.S. military forces in the region ready to
02:33support Israel in a wider attack. Tonight, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin held
02:38a joint security situation assessment with his Israeli counterpart. This was their second phone
02:43call of the day. Meanwhile, conversations taking place between Israel and Hezbollah, both sides
02:49urging that they do not want a wider war. There have been other conversations of de-escalation
02:54taking place in Cairo as it pertains to the ceasefire in Gaza. Those conversations ending
03:00tonight and no breakthrough just yet. John. All right, Alex Hogan in Tel Aviv, Israel. Alex,
03:06thank you. America's top general arrived in Israel today, hours after Israel and Hezbollah
03:15traded that heavy fire that Alex was just talking about. The White House says President Biden is
03:20monitoring the situation closely as he and the first lady are en route to Dover Air Force Base.
03:26Lucas Tomlinson is at the White House. He has more for us. Lucas. Well, good evening, John.
03:32President Biden did not appear too concerned about this latest scrap between Hezbollah and Israel
03:37leaving the West Coast from Vandenberg Air Force Base to board Air Force One to fly to the East
03:42Coast to begin another week of vacation at his Delaware beach house. He ignored reporters
03:47questions while getting on board. Mr. President, are you concerned about a widening war?
03:56How are the attacks affecting ceasefire talks?
04:20So no answer there from the president. Now, the U.S. Navy now has two aircraft carrier strike
04:25groups on station in the Middle East. The USS Abraham Lincoln seen here and the TR strike group
04:31both sailing together. Both came from the Pacific, leaving no aircraft carriers there right now.
04:36The Navy has also pre-positioned destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean to protect the skies
04:40over Israel from incoming ballistic missiles from Iran or potentially Yemen. The guided missile
04:46submarine USS Georgia, armed with over 150 Tomahawk cruise missiles with a max range of 1500
04:52miles, are well within range of Iran. Here's Israel's new ambassador to the U.N. earlier.
04:59It sends a very clear message to the Iranian, stay out of it, stay out of this war. I hope
05:05they will listen to those threats, but we need the support. Biden's top military advisor,
05:12the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General C.Q. Brown is in Israel today to
05:16share intelligence and continue coordination efforts. Here are photos from his visit to
05:21Jordan yesterday. Senator Cory Booker spoke about the situation earlier.
05:27We know the most urgent issue right now is ending this awful conflict in the Middle East,
05:33bringing about a ceasefire and stopping this from expanding to a wider arena.
05:40Now, when it comes to those ceasefire talks, Senator Lindsey Graham had the following suggestion.
05:46If I were the state of Israel, I would tell the Ayatollah if these people do not come home alive,
05:51the ones that are left alive, and if we don't get the bodies of the fallen,
05:55we're going to blow up your oil refineries. That's the only way you're ever going to get
05:59the hostages released is to put pressure on Iran. Now, President Biden's national security advisor
06:07is also traveling. He just boarded a flight for Canada. John Lucas, it was just a few days ago
06:15that President Biden was saying he felt pretty good about the prospects for some kind of a
06:19ceasefire. At the beginning of your report, you said the president was not too concerned about
06:25this latest flare up. The peace talks apparently have ended. Did something change or was it just
06:32wishful thinking on the president's part? Well, John, just a few minutes ago, I spoke to an
06:37official here at the White House who said the talks have not ended. They're not done, despite
06:42Hamas publicly saying they reject the terms. I'm told that Brett McGurk, that's President Biden's
06:48Middle East envoy, will be holding working groups tomorrow. He's staying an extra day in Cairo to
06:54try to work out a deal. But like it's been for over 10 months, John, people are right to be
06:58skeptical. John. All right, Lucas Tomlinson at the White House for us. Lucas, thank you.
07:05So is Israel risking a wider war in the Middle East? And how will this latest escalation impact
07:10the U.S. presidential election? Here to weigh in on these questions, Fox News contributor Byron York.
07:17Byron, Israel says that it actually prevented the escalation of a wider war by taking out
07:24some of the Hezbollah missiles and depots and so forth in these airstrikes last night. I guess
07:34we don't know whether that is the case or not. But what are the chances that this thing
07:40turns into an all out conflagration? Well, that has always been the worry since the Hamas attack
07:47on Israel on October 7th, that there would be a regional escalation here. And what we're seeing
07:54right now, it's certainly not all out war between the sides, but it was an escalation. I mean,
07:59there was you had Israel having assassinated a Hezbollah leader in Beirut and a Hamas leader
08:05in Tehran. You knew there was going to be some sort of retaliation for that. This may be a
08:10relatively brief thing. We've actually seen that before in this conflict so far. Or it may be a
08:16sign of something bigger. But clearly a really, really tense situation is not just between Israel
08:22and Hamas in Gaza, but also in northern Israel with Hezbollah. There are 80,000 Israelis who
08:28are displaced right now because of the tensions up there. So it is actually escalating, but not
08:34into full scale war right now. I want to play a bit of sound from the vice president Thursday at
08:40the Democratic National Convention. She was talking about her view of this war, and I'm
08:46going to get your reaction on the other side. Listen. I will always stand up for Israel's right
08:53to defend itself. President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure.
09:01The hostages are released. The suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people
09:07can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.
09:16Those are lofty goals, but you know, self-determination for the Palestinian people,
09:20part of their charter is the elimination of Israel.
09:25Exactly. I mean, this was a kind of almost happy talk, assessment of what's happening
09:30in the Middle East. These peace talks, which the White House says are still alive,
09:34or I guess technically still alive, but they're just not going anywhere.
09:39I think one of the things that you did not see the vice president do was address the
09:44role of Iran in all of this, and what to do about Iran, whether that's the key
09:50to defusing some of this situation, as former President Trump believes, or whether it's
09:55something, you want better relations with Iran, you don't want to make them too angry,
10:00as the Biden administration believes. That's one of the key differences between
10:05the two sides on this Middle East conflict.
10:07H.R. McMaster, who served as President Trump's national security advisor for a time,
10:14said that all signs point to Iran, all roads lead to Iran, if you will,
10:18when it comes to troubles in the Middle East. Listen.
10:21Iran is pursuing a strategy in which it is willing to expend every Arab life,
10:29you know, every Palestinian life, every Lebanese life in pursuit of its objective of destroying
10:35Israel. Meanwhile, Iran is continuing to funnel weapons not only into southern Lebanon,
10:40but to essentially a proxy army in Syria into the West Bank.
10:45Oh, why does it seem that this administration is not eager to, you know, take on Iran?
10:52You heard Lindsey Graham say he thinks we ought to bomb their oil facilities,
10:56or the Israelis should bomb their oil facilities if they don't get their hostages back.
11:01Well, sometimes it's hard to understand. They certainly wanted to get back in some
11:06sort of nuclear deal that Donald Trump had pulled out of earlier. But clearly,
11:11in the campaign, you're going to hear a lot of former President Trump saying,
11:15look, this conflict, the one that's going on right now, would not be happening if I,
11:20Donald Trump, were still president. There's actually an argument you can make for that,
11:24because Trump focused on Iran, and he basically starved Iran of the thing that gives it its most,
11:33its biggest source of outside money, which is its energy exports. And Trump really shut that down.
11:40And that meant Iran had billions of dollars less to fund aggression around the region,
11:48to make mischief around the region. And that really helped shut it down completely. Plus,
11:54perhaps the most important figure of Iran's regional aggression, Qasem Soleimani,
12:01Trump took him out with a drone strike. So Trump really focused on the Iranian part of this,
12:06which seemed to be pretty effective. What you're seeing now is Republicans saying,
12:12and certainly H.R. McMaster would agree with that, that the next president has to really focus on
12:18Iran if they want to get a handle on what's happening here in Israel, Gaza, and Lebanon.
12:25All right. We're going to have to leave it there. But
12:29some interesting thoughts. Byron York, appreciate it. Thank you.
12:32Thank you, John.
12:34French police have arrested the CEO of Telegram, a popular social media and messaging app,
12:39accusing him of not reporting possible crimes by the app's users. Authorities there say Pavel
12:45Durov is responsible for what happens on Telegram, including alleged drug trafficking
12:51and exploitation of children. Madison Scarpino has more.
12:56Thirty-nine-year-old Pavel Durov was reportedly detained last night in a hotel room.
13:01He was reportedly detained last night after his private jet landed at an airport outside Paris.
13:08The arrest is believed to be related to Telegram's potential lack of moderation.
13:12French media is reporting there's allegations Telegram has been used for money laundering,
13:17drug trafficking and allowing sexual exploitation of minors.
13:21Telegram is one of the most downloaded apps in the world. It has nearly a billion users,
13:27and its popularity is up there with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
13:32The app's increasing popularity has been scrutinized by several European countries,
13:37including France, over data breach and security concerns.
13:41The app is particularly popular in Russia and Ukraine. It's been the main source of content
13:47from both sides about the war and politics there. And it's regularly used by Ukrainian
13:52President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Russian government.
13:56According to Reuters, Durov's arrest prompted a warning from Moscow to Paris.
14:00Saying that freedom of speech here in Europe is under attack.
14:04And in response to all of this, Telegram says that it abides by EU laws
14:09and that Durov has nothing to hide. John.
14:12All right, Madison Scarpino in London. Madison, thank you.
14:16Well, it's one of the top issues this presidential election cycle, crime in our big cities.
14:21How will it play out in places like Chicago, where dozens of people were shot during the run
14:26of last week's Democratic National Convention? A deep dive into that subject next.
14:32Hi, John. Well, tomorrow, 10 members of the Congressional Task Force will be visiting
14:36the grounds of the Butler Farm Show, where former President Donald Trump
14:40survived an assassination attempt. Republican Congressman Mike Waltz,
14:44who's a member, says the group received a briefing from the FBI this week.
14:48Waltz said the agency reported progress getting into encrypted accounts used by the gunman,
14:55Thomas Matthew Crooks. But Waltz says he's left with more unanswered questions.
15:01The FBI has been very quick to say we think he acted alone.
15:05Yet he had all of this other activity. And then in the same breath,
15:08they say we still don't know motive. It makes no sense to me how he
15:11learned how to construct multiple IEDs with a remote detonator that was on his body
15:18without any flags and without anyone noticing.
15:22The task force could tap into its subpoena power to get answers. The lawmakers say at the
15:27end of their investigation, they'll make recommendations for reform or new laws.
15:33The site visit comes on the heels of a personnel shakeup over at the Secret Service,
15:37with at least five agents who were involved in the rally's planning now on administrative leave.
15:44A source tells Fox more agents may be caught up in the agency's internal probe.
15:48Meanwhile, more whistleblowers are coming forward to allege security failures.
15:53Republican Senator Josh Hawley says the latest tip he received alleges, quote,
15:59that officials at the Secret Service headquarters encouraged agents in charge of the trip
16:04not to request any additional security assets in its formal manpower request.
16:10In response, a Secret Service spokesperson told Fox, quote,
16:14The U.S. Secret Service takes seriously its responsibility to share important information
16:19about its protective operations and is cooperating with a wide range of reviews and investigations
16:26related to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
16:30The task force visit will get underway tomorrow at 2 p.m. local time.
16:34John.
16:35CB Cotton.
16:36CB, thank you.
16:37And while Tim Walz let Minnesota burn, it was Kamala Harris who poured gasoline on the flames.
16:46Kamala supported funds, paid bail for a twice convicted rapist,
16:51a man accused of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old girl and a serial domestic abuser.
16:57Tragically, Harris's actions supporting this fund were par for the course
17:00for the weak on crime radical Democrats who have reduced penalties for
17:04violent crimes. They have pushed to end cash bail and decriminalize illegal border crossings
17:10and push to defund the police across our country.
17:13That's Speaker of the House Mike Johnson today with a scathing rebuke of the Democrats record
17:18on crime. In contrast, Democrats at the DNC last week touted what they claim is a drop in violent
17:25crime. But outside the bubble, it was business as usual in crime ridden Chicago police reporting
17:3222 people were shot, six of them fatally, during the first three days of the Democratic
17:38National Convention. Democratic Chicago alderman Raymond Lopez is here to weigh in.
17:44What's going on in Chicago and can police there get a handle on it?
17:51Well, good. Happy Sunday, John. What's going on in Chicago is what's been going on for the
17:55past several years now, where, as you have said, and as we heard from the Speaker of the House,
18:00the Democratic Party has become weak on crime. We've become a party that's enamored with
18:06criminality and likes to embolden criminals and uplift them while putting them on a pedestal.
18:12We are actually putting our law enforcement officers, our police under the boot, making
18:17them the enemy of the people. And as we see in these pictures that you're showing, that has had
18:23a very real impact in our communities, not just in Chicago, but in major cities across the United
18:28States, where criminals know that with the Democratic leadership that supports all of those
18:33efforts and more to embolden them and empower them through our sympathies, they are taking
18:39full advantage of the situation on the streets. While you're in touch with voters, do you think
18:43it matters to voters the crime situation in this country? I absolutely do think it matters,
18:51and I think it's shameful that the Democratic Party has ceded public safety to being just a
18:56Republican issue. You know, keeping our people, our constituency safe shouldn't just be a Republican
19:02issue. It should be both parties' responsibility to ensure that we are doing everything that we
19:07can do to keep violent criminals off our streets, that we are doing everything we can to protect
19:12our democracy by maintaining our sovereignty as a nation. And yet, my party refuses to have any
19:18kind of legitimate conversation about this and thinks that everybody that is their voters are
19:24just going to keep going along with what they're doing. And I can assure you that there are many
19:30true blue everyday Democrats that I represent and am in contact with that are wondering more and
19:37more what's going on with the party, why are they not taking our concerns seriously, and unfortunately
19:43that is pushing them to want to look at new candidates or other candidates or even the
19:48Republican Party. Well, when you come out this publicly and say, you know, my party, the Democrats,
19:55have to get more aggressive about prosecuting crime, are you taking heat from some of
20:02your fellow Democrats on that score? You know, during the Democratic National Convention, I said
20:08quite loudly that there are two things specifically that the party does not want to talk about, crime
20:13and immigration. And instantly, I was taking hits from all sides for making that very real and very
20:22true statement. And yes, it isn't easy for a Democrat to criticize the nominee, the party,
20:29especially in this post-convention honeymoon that we're going through. But the facts remain the
20:35facts. And whether it was true yesterday, today, or tomorrow, I'm going to continue to speak out for
20:40what I see in the neighborhoods. Those pictures you just shown were from a mass shooting in the
20:45city of Chicago that took place, I think, on Wednesday, where six people were shot, one was killed
20:51in early evening hours. And that is a fact of life that repeats itself day in and day out,
20:57and it doesn't even raise an eye anymore in major cities like Chicago. And that's unfortunate.
21:03We can take the high road again if we can show how we are willing to be tough but also break
21:09the cycle. And unfortunately, that's not an equation that most Democrats want to take.
21:14Well, some Democrats are saying that, you know, crime is actually going down in this country. You disagree?
21:20I do disagree. Crime statistics show that it's going down because many people just
21:25have given up calling 911, calling the police, because they know many of those weak-on-crime
21:31policies, like ending cash bail and restricting what is a detainable offense, is not making
21:37individuals that are arrested go to jail. So why would I call the police for a situation in
21:44front of my house if I know nothing's going to happen? People are giving up hope and belief
21:48that the 911 system is actually going to change their predicament, so they stop calling. And that
21:53is what drives the statistics down and gives the false illusion that things are improving.
21:58Yeah, that's a frustrating situation for sure. Alderman Raymond Lopez from the city of Chicago,
22:04we wish you well as you continue this fight. Thank you. Thank you, John. Coming up on The Fox
22:10Report, the burden on American taxpayers is growing. It is costing billions to house, feed,
22:16and clothe millions of illegal immigrants living in sanctuary cities. Is there relief in sight?
22:22Former U.S. Office of Citizenship Chief Alfonso Aguilar tells us what he thinks next.
22:30I know the importance of safety and security, especially at our border. Last year, Joe and I
22:40brought together Democrats and conservative Republicans to write the strongest border
22:45bill in decades. Here is my pledge to you. As president, I will bring back the bipartisan
22:53border security bill that he killed, and I will sign it into law. We can create an
23:00earned pathway to citizenship and secure our border. That's Vice President Kamala Harris
23:07saying she knows just how important border security is. But a new Homeland Security
23:13inspector general's report shows the Biden White House has lost track of more than 330,000
23:19migrant children who have entered the United States, causing concerns about those kids
23:24potentially being roped into sex trafficking operations and raising even more questions
23:29about the administration's handling of the southern border. Let's bring in Alfonso Aguilar,
23:35former chief of the U.S. Office of Citizenship and director of Hispanic engagement for the American
23:41Principles Project. Alfonso, thanks for being with us. How do you lose track
23:47of more than 300,000 children? Well, that's what happens when the system is overwhelmed.
23:55This is a huge scandal, and it's a direct result of the responsible policies of the Biden-Harris
24:02administration. When you have open border policies that encourage millions of people to
24:09make that dangerous trek to our southern border, our border patrol is going to be overwhelmed.
24:17So they don't have the resources to properly vet all these people. So what's happening with
24:23the children is that they're being released to the Department of Health and Human Services
24:30without being put in expedite in removal proceedings and without being issued a notice
24:37to appear before immigration court, which actually would facilitate tracking those
24:43individuals. So once they're with HHS, HHS often surrenders and turns in those children
24:52to foster homes or relatives. But often they end up turning in those children to criminal
25:04organizations or to traffickers who exploit the children for sex or labor. So this administration
25:13has created a child trafficking crisis, and it has to be called out. And I'm surprised. I wonder
25:21where are all those Democrats that during the Trump years went to the border to denounce
25:27President Trump for allegedly alleging falsely that he was putting kids in cages.
25:33Where are all those Democrats asking the administration about those kids? Kamala
25:40Harris has had a leadership role in this issue, and she should tell us where are those kids.
25:45I want to put the numbers on the screen because they are absolutely shocking and they come
25:50from the U.S. government. It says ICE, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement,
25:56reports that from fiscal year 2019 to 2023, more than 32,000 unaccompanied children, UCs,
26:04failed to appear for their immigration hearings. Then it goes on to say that ICE reports from
26:09fiscal year 2019 to 2023, ICE did not serve notices to appear to more than 291,000
26:19unaccompanied minors, UCs who do not appear in immigration court are considered more at risk
26:25for trafficking, exploitation or forced labor. So, yeah, they've just fallen through the cracks,
26:31it would appear, and all kinds of bad things can be happening to those kids.
26:36Well, absolutely. The massive movement of people that we're seeing, which is unprecedented,
26:42facilitates child trafficking. Criminal organizations know this. So, kids are being
26:50sent here. And as I've said, HHS is turning to criminal organizations or to traffickers.
26:59This is very serious. We've never had this type of numbers before. And I think that we have a child
27:06trafficking crisis in our hands that we've never seen before. So it's very important to talk about
27:11this issue, because normally we look at different aspects of the border crisis, but rarely we focus
27:19on what's happening with the children. Yeah. Meanwhile, the state of California
27:23says it's spending five billion dollars on medical care for the illegal immigrants.
27:29City of New York says it's going to be spending millions, or I'm sorry, billions of dollars
27:36on care and housing for the illegal immigrants. What about these sanctuary cities like New York?
27:47Go ahead. It's part of the same problem, right?
27:49Just like our immigration system is overwhelmed, our cities, our communities are overwhelmed.
27:55We don't have the resources to receive so many people in such a short period of time.
28:02Think about it. This administration has encouraged over 10 million people to make
28:07that dangerous trip to our southern border. According to Secretary Mayorkas, over 85 percent
28:12of those individuals have been let in the country. Our cities do not have the resources
28:20to welcome those individuals and to provide the basic services. So they have to take away
28:25resources from citizens. And the U.S. taxpayers and the state taxpayers are covering for the
28:33services. In the case of New York, for example, in the past three years, they spent about 10
28:39billion dollars to deal with all the migrants that are arriving in the city. So it's really
28:46totally out of control. And this cannot continue. Well, Alejandro Mayorkas said the border is
28:52under control, famously. Alfonso Aguilar, thank you very much for coming on.
28:58Thank you for having me. And keep it here. More Fox report just moments away.
29:04Boeing is defending its troubled Starliner capsule after NASA refused to use it to bring two
29:10astronauts back from the International Space Station. Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams must
29:15now stay there another six months before hitching a ride back to Earth on board a capsule built by
29:21one of Boeing's top competitors. Christina Coleman is live with more on that. Christina.
29:27John, there's lots of reaction to NASA's decision to have astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sonny
29:32Williams remain in space until February. They will return to Earth on a SpaceX Dragon 9 capsule
29:38instead of the troubled Boeing Starliner spacecraft that care to me seems just more of the same,
29:44whether it's sloppy engineering, sloppy quality control. I think it underlines fundamental issues
29:52with the quality control and the engineering of Boeing, both in space and in the commercial
29:57aviation division. Butch and Sonny will remain at the International Space Station and complete
30:03research and cargo work. They may also do a couple of spacewalks toward the end of their
30:08extended expedition. Former astronauts weighed in. Butch and Sonny knew this is a test flight
30:16and if everything went right, it would have lasted 10 days. If some issues, maybe 80 days. But
