done what it can? there are real leading world authorities on civilian casualties in warfare that say that israel is doing more than they have almost ever seen a country do to try minimize them. so the administration on the one hand is criticizing what israel is doing and saying that the next step, inevitable step that would get this war over with, which would -- that's what really reduce the civilian casualties would across red line. it is quite a remarkable policy considering it is at war with itself. >> bret: quickly brit, we talked about this a lot. there is a lot of concern about the civilian casualties and how the war is being implemented, however, the onus does not appear to be on hamas, to get rid of hostages, to surrender, to let people out of gaza. >> brit: yeah, it is as if hamas which has shown it its capable f

most horrendous atrocities. does not stand before the world in the same way israel does. that's true to some extent. on the other hand, to be perfectly clear about this, none of this would be happening if hamas outgunned, outmanned and really overwhelmed would simply surrender. that would save lives of its fighters and it would save countless civilian lives but no one seems to be talking about that possibility. no one seems to be holding hamas responsible. let us not forget, this bret. it is often said that people living under hamas' rule in gaza are innocent. and no doubt many of them are but let's not forget it was those people, those people in gaza who elected and put hamas into power in the first place. and if you look at such polling on this issue, they overwhelmingly support what hamas has done toward the

israelis including the attacks of october 7th. so, it seems to me that's worth keeping in mind when we think about the moral equities here. >> bret: quite something to watch and cover. brit, as always, thank you. up next, the culture war over diversity, equity and inclusion policies. the biden administration makes a move. but uncontrollable movements called td, tardive dyskinesia, started disrupting my day. td felt embarrassing. i felt like disconnecting. i asked my doctor about treating my td, and learned about ingrezza. ♪ ingrezza ♪ ingrezza is clinically proven for reducing td. most people saw results in just two weeks. people taking ingrezza can stay on most mental health meds. only number-one prescribed ingrezza has simple dosing for td: always one pill, once daily. ingrezza can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with huntington's disease. pay close attention to and call your doctor if you become depressed, have sudden changes in mood, behaviors, feelings, or have thoughts of suicide.

examiner" asks the questions are voters buying trump or biden's border blame game? if you look at the migrant encounters under president biden versus president trump, can you see in the southwest border the numbers, differences right there. and the question is how does that play politically as you get closer and closer to the general election? let's bring in our panel. mollie mollie hemingway editor and chief at "the federalist." axios political reporter stef kite and charles hurt "washington times." how is this playing? obviously democrats are still pointing back to that bill that never got through that really was never voted on as a bipartisan shutdown that they blame on former president trump. >> and, of course, republicans point to bills that they have offered that democrats never moved on. so it is sort of to me that's kind of awash. in terms of the blame game, you do have two administrations. two performances and they happen to be back-to-back and which can

you compare. and had you knows numbers on the screen a minute ago that showed the difference between the illegals that got into the country under joe biden vs. the illegals that got into the border under donald trump. and if you compress it down to the last couple of months or the last year of donald trump's administration, and compare that to the entire biden administration, the numbers are even more shocking. but, you know, i also think that people are sitting here, they are watching the footage of these people streaming across the border. and where is the biden administration? the biden administration is in federal court suing the state of texas, telling them that not only are they not going to protect the border but texas is not allowed to protect the border. it's a little -- i was trying to think of an analogy. a little bit like 911, you call 911. # 11 says not only are we not going to extend police to your house for your emergency, but we are going to arrest you if you take it unto yourself to protect your house. >> bret: stef, back at the end

of january president biden was saying he needed this legislation to be able to shut down the border. take a listen. >> if that bill were the law today i would shut down the border right now and fix it quickly: bipartisan bill would be good for america and help fix our broken immigration system. and allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here. >> bret: "the washington post" talked to the campaign manager for the biden campaign titled nervous about november imagine being biden's campaign manager. on pushed for legislation given him greater power to as he described it shut down the southern border if necessary. rodriguez was add a dam mat the president doesn't talk about shutting down the border and is not advocating for shutting down the border saying instead what people want to see is order and humanity in our immigration system. there is a different message. >> yeah, this is a great example of a division that we have seen within the democratic party and within biden's own administration from day one on this issue. democrats do not have a very

clear solution to the border issue policy-wise. they also have struggled to find any kind of winning political message on this. and we are seeing that in the polls. we see voters overwhelmingly saying that they would trust former president trump over biden when it documents dealing with the border. when it comes to dealing with immigration. and we have seen biden continue to kind of change his message. he has embraced a tougher image on the border in recent months. we have seen that transition even embracing some restrictions on asylum at the border. being willing to adopt bipartisan border. a deal which would have had significant restrictions on the border as well. but it doesn't seem to be really coming through when you look at the polls and how americans view what is going on at the border. i think the question is whether we see more drastic measures from the white house as we get closer to the election. i have reported that they are still considering some pretty significant executive actions and whether to go through with that or not i think will be very telling as to how vulnerable they feel. >> bret: also telling how they

explain why they didn't do it, you know, months ago when those numbers were still high, mollie. >> molly: yeah, i think they wouldn't be doing anything at all if we hadn't seen polling indicating throughout the primary season that the lack of a border really was something that bothered many americans even in states far away from the border. when you saw this was such a major issue for people, that's when the biden white house started to say that they were taking it more seriously. but it is this issue where the moment president biden took office, and even before he took office he said he was going to open things up. he was going to tear down all of the protections that the trump administration had put into place and also as charlie notes, they are suing to make it so states can't protect their borders. the idea that when this country was founded that states would not have had the right to protect their own borders whether we voo seen that through the our history that would have been laughable to the people who formed this country. >> bret: president trump is tapping into the emotion of immigrationists as well a number of different incidents that effect different communities, here is him talking about it in

michigan. >> we threw them out of the country and crooked joe biden took them back and let them back in and let them stay in and they viciously killed ruby. she had the most contagious. [laughter] and when she walked into a room she lit up that room i have heard that from so many people i spoke to some of her family. >> bret: politico points out and others have noted that trump said he spoke with the slain woman's family. the sister says he didn't according to ruby garcia's sister he did not hear that from any member of garcia's family. in fact, michael avenattiy said trump never spoke to the family at all. did he not speak with any of us. it was shocking to see that he had said that he spoke with us and misinforming people on live tv. these are the -- you know, you could go through all kinds of campaign events, charlie, and say who said what when. democrats attacking donald trump for talking about it in a political campaign. what are you supposed to talk

about in a political campaign except things that matter to people. this is something that matters deeply to people and, of course, we saw it in 2016, you know, with the case of kate steinle who was murdered, shot to death in california, and then we see it again, you know, now, going on now. and of course donald trump is going to talk about it. and he should talk about it. that's why we elect people. that's why we have elections. >> bret: they are making a point of saying he didn't talk to the family. >> yeah. but i don't -- but he does -- you know, he is very well connected with on these issues and he cares about these issues. and his ability to connect with lots of families who go through these ordeals has been notable and something by the way that joe biden has not done much of. >> it's going to be interesting to see how this issue plays out. panel, thanks so much.

finally tonight, today's throwback. >> here was someone who was brilliant and could have applied these incredible talents for good to help humanity and, instead, he applied it to murder. >> bret: 28 years ago today in 1996, ted kaczynski otherwise known as the unabomber arrested in a remote montana cabin after a 17-year chase guess what the story is available today on fox nation. scandalous unabomber takes a look at the hunt for the most notorious serial bomber. tomorrow on "special report" "common ground" segment on electric vehicles. effort to curtail the biden administration's mandates on both sides of the aisle. catch us 6:00 p.m. in the east and 3:00 p.m. on the west coast. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. fair balanced and unafraid. here is laura.
