washington. good morning everybody. we be it with a fox news alert. israel has announced a major ground troop withdrawal from southern gaza. this comes six months to the day after hamas a brutal terror attacks in israel on october the seventh which was the beginning of the war in gaza. so, in a moment we will get reaction from delaware senator chris coons is on the senate foreign relations committee. but first team coverage with lucas tomlinson at the white house and trey yingst in tel aviv israel. treytrey, let's begin with you. >> good morning. it's been six months since the october 7 a massacre known as black saturday. this morning israel announced it's withdrawn all troops from southern gaza. there is just one brigade of israeli soldiers left in gaza at the moment. we do understand this force will

be used to secure a supply line. there are additional operations that are expected to take place including targeted raids that could happen in the future buried the announcement clearly marks the next phase of this war could be an indication cease-fire talks are headed in the right direction but looking back at the pass to 184 days the numbers are staggering. around 1200 people in israel were killed in a surprise attack on october 7. more than two an 2050 were taken hostage including hannah goldstein. >> what is going to your mind in that moment? looks terrible fear and shock. we got out in the line the boys were going out and before that were the terrorists saw his uniform shirt. he opened it like that i remember his big green eyes and screamed at me in arabic i do not know understand w understang me. >> after the massacre and hostage taking the israeli air

and ground campaign in response (33000 people dead according to the palestinian health ministry. israel does not dispute those numbers but says more than one third of the gazans kills art militants from has hamas or islamic jihad. the war is the longest in the country's history. at the six month mark israel is bracing for the possibility of a larger regional conflict. martha: trey, thank you very much let's go to lucas tomlinson at the white house covering the biden administration and their reaction. height lucas. >> it appears the threats from president biden worked to this call with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu biden demanded an immediate cease-fire and changes how israel conducts his word gaza. >> you threaten to stop military aid to israel? >> i asked him to do what they are doing. [inaudible] >> biden called the situation in gaza on acceptable demanded

israel do more to protect civilians and deliver it more aid while battling hamas. biden said redline was israeli forces launching an assault on rafah. any large-scale military action will force them to condition aid to israel. spokesmen for biden described the recent conversations between leaders. >> too many civilians have been killed. if we don't see those changes we will have to make changes and decisions of our own. >> a botched israeli drone strike monday night marked a tipping point with america's closest allies in the middle east 78 workers were killed including an american. similar drone strike of the u.s. military in afghanistan during the withdrawal kled 10 civilians including seven children. no one was punished for jon jon kirby downplayed the comparison. >> these are beds that happen three years apart. two different geographic locations. two different countries. two different sets of circumstances. >> israeli forces carried out an airstrike in syria at las last .

killing a top iranian cuts force commander they vowed revenge given u.s. and israeli forces in the region on high alert. over whether hostages are made in captivity in gaza to mark national security adviser jack sylvan plans to meet the families and some of them here at the white house. lucas tomlinson reporting from the white house for joining me now delaware senator the biden campaigns and national cochair chris coons from the biden campaign headquarters in wilmington. senator, thank you very much for being here this morning. you hear these reports we just heard from lucas tomlinson and trey yingst. israeli idf forces pulling out except for one brigade. what is your reaction to this very big development on the ground in gaza? >> martha, first it's important to remember how this all began six months ago. with a brutal barbaric attack the six months of the campaign

and it gaza that thousands and thousands of idf troops have done their very best to carry out a campaign to arrive from gaza. there are several thousand idf troops that is with the brigade is in gaza after this announcement this morning. i presume this is a tactical decision by the idf it israeli leadership in the face of a threat of a real attack from the north, from hezbollah or direct attack for my roberts important for all of us who support israel to be clear that we will continue to defend israel against iran or any of its proxies in the region. martha: you see this as a tactical regrouping? not as the end of a war. is this a cease-fire president biden clearly laid down his request for? he said we will not support you if we do not see changes. are these the changes or not? >> i was not in that conversation between president biden and president netanyahu

there are negotiations in cairo about a possible hostage release and cease-fire. as you know thousands and thousands of israelis have been protesting and it tel aviv and throughout the country about the lack of progress on a release of the hostages. you'll be hearing from a hostage someone who has been released soon. i have met many time with hostage families. it is a tragic hamas continues to use civilians as human shields. continues to hold these hostages and continues to terrorize them now for wider 84 days. it is my hope that changes asked for the delivery of humanitarian aid, deacon flexion of possible strikes into gaza with where humanitarian aid is being delivered and a conduct of the future campaign against rafah to finish the job against hamas in a way that will minimize the casualties. i am hopeful were going to see all of those changes unfol unfog here in the days ahead. martha: why didn't president

biden make it contingent if you bring about a cease-fire it will be in return for hostages. no cease-fire until the hostages were returned, our return completely. it's always been netanyahu's goal. it looks like we are seeing it in reverse and hoping it will end and the release of hostages. >> we are mischaracterizing what is going on there was still be thousands of idf soldiers i have not heard president biden call for a cease-fire without the released of hostages. i think that is the direction all of us are pressing for. i will remind you president biden has repeatedly pushed qatar and egypt o have direct communications to press harder to release the hostages there holding. i think that's what all of us have been hoping for in my last meeting with prime minister netanyahu and israel that is what i was encouraging was continued negotiations.

i've directly communicated with leaders on the urgency of a hostage release as a condition for any cease-fire. martha: i want to remind the viewers of the sentiment of protesters. this is from a few months ago part a lot of studenprotesters we continue to see them all of the time against the u.s. policy in support of israel. watch this. >> you have a whole generation of voters coming up who were going to be able to vote in this next election. if you do not stop this genocide now you will not give these votes. martha: hundreds of thousands of votes uncommitted against essentially president biden. we have heard for quite a while about the tensions that exist in the white house the president initially said he was rock solid in support of israel's efforts here. have the protesters one at the white house? >> no.

let me remind you what just happened two weeks ago president biden signed into law our annual appropriation bills that includes $3.8 billion in support for israel. i think this is a tactical disagreement that began with prime minister netanyahu assisting he would go into rafah. let me remind you in rafah there's a more than a million palestinian civilians have fled from the north in the center of gaza they are trapped up against the hard border with egypt. where i have been saying and i believe president biden has been sitting directly to prime minister netanyahu is before you go in at scale i'm trying to finish the job against hamas make sure you allow for humanitarian aid on those civilians trapped in rafah to move out of the way before you conduct the last stage of the ground campaign but that's what i understand the disagreement to be about. so just go quick question about ukraine. but first i want to ask you this. what do you say to those who say

this move will be music to the ears before hamas and i wrong? the ultimate goal of eradicating israel from the middle east if they see the united states pressuring israel to pull back will be exactly what they want. >> wives moved onto the supplemental which helps answer that question for the senate controlled by democrats passed with the big bipartisan barge and a supplemental president biden requested. it includes eight for ukraine. humanitarian aid and 14 billion in additional support for israel. it has been waiting for action by the house for weeks now. it is my hope speaker johnson will put on the floor this week. it will show around the strong bipartisan to continue to support israel in the face of iran's threats if that supplemental passes the house this week. martha: and by just one more question on this do you believe there is an imminent strike coming from iran and retaliation

for the killing of two top commanders and the iranian forces? >> what is been publicly released by our government is a concern there is a likelihood of an eye running strike. i cannot get into classified material but i think it is important we continue to show strong support for the defense of israel. we continue to support the iron dome on other missile defenses we have jointly developed. i might make it clear we will defend israel against any iranian proxy attack or direct attack by iran. martha: 33 members of the house including nancy pelosi wrote a letter saying they wanted to resend even the current weapons delivery to israel. what do you say to them? >> in the face of a possible attack for my run i do not agree we should in any way constrain or stop the delivery of defense material that is essential for

israel's defense. >> will see where the u.s. support of israel goes in the wake of all these developments. center thank you very much good to have you here. >> coming up next thousands of migrants continued to pour across the southern border. the cost to state and big cities reaching a breaking point they'll stick with texas governor greg abbott who is in new york city this week. a ververy controversy will pares back and forth with the mayor. we'll get a live report from the border coming up next.

the numbers are staggering. border patrol counts over 350,000 migrant encounters in january and february this year alone for those of the people they actually counted. over 8000 pounds of deadly offense and all seized in those two months and over 1000 miles away the self-declared sanctuary cities are suffering. new york city alone has spent nearly $2 billion this year supplying asylum-seekers housing, food, medical care, schooling and in a moment will speak with texas governor greg abbott who was just in new york at a controversial moment with the mayor adams. we will talk to him about that. first let's turn to fox news national correspondent matt finn who is joining us from the border. >> right now we are staying at the base of mount crystal ray and sunland park new mexico. this area has been swarming with illegal migrants. just yesterday we saw men freely

walking right around the border wall behind a. this is all happening a few miles from el paso worked governor greg abbott is bolstering his border. in el paso fox news exclusively with the texas military insoles mile after mall of fencing and wire. texas governor greg abbott said texas has installed more than 100 miles of fencing and wire that's acting like a wall and deterring migrants. >> i told the national guard i do not want you to double down on the amount of wire we have in the border. i said i want you to triple or quadruple. >> where you from? new mexico fox news got exclusively coming face-to-face with these illegal migrants as they easily cross into the u.s. on a mount crystal ray. border patrol agent told fox news that has lost control of the mountain to human smugglers. going monitoring us trying to

conceal migrants they were guided. >> are outside of sunlandpark, new mexico. we are walking along what's considered the obama wall points out the holes in the wall they seek cartels cut them to smuggle humans through but they are referred to as doggy doors border patrol says they are so overwhelmed right now they cannot keep up with patching them. >> our camera also capturing these two men trying to climb through one of the holes but they took off running back into mexico and then they screamed at us. this morning there is the ongoing legal battle over texas state bill for it which would give texas the right to simply arrest and jail illegal migrants. martha: matt thank you very much reporting from the board it meanwhile texas governor greg abbott has bus to thousands of migrants from texas to the big apple made a trip there himself this week.

he is a very frosty relationship with new york's mayor eric adams and former police captain who greeted the news abbott would be in the city to speak at a gop fundraiser with this invitation to come stay in one of the migrant shelters. >> i'm going to offer him a stay in one of the hoechst so he can see what he has created. and understand how we are treating people with the dignity and respect he should have shown as well. when we coordinate together we should not displace problems to local municipalities. that is not what executives do. it is unfortunate he made the decision to do that. martha: says the mayor's side of the story joining us now from austin, texas governor greg abbott's. governor, very good to have you with us. the event that i mentioned in new york city was a big gop fundraiser. i like to begin by playing a piece of sound of you speaking at that event.

>> will be made clear by contacting his office we said we are not sending them to new york. that is joe biden sending them to new york. but the criticism kept coming, kept coming, kept coming despite our denial so after a while i figured gosh, if i'm going to get the criticism on want to get the credit. thus began the busing of illegal immigrants to this sanctuary city of new york city. [applause] martha: governor welcome. that comment and the actions you had taken which really change the game in so many ways with regard to how the rest of the country views immigration the mayor said because of comments like that you are morally bankrupt and using these individuals as political ponds. what do you say to that, sir? >> the person is using illegal immigrants as political ponds is joe biden. joe biden has created an open

border policy that has allowed illegal immigrants into our country to appeal to and to appee the part leftist in the democrat party the people like agassi and trying to win their support while the same time destroying the country that he is in charge of. he is the commander-in-chief in charge of a national security for our country. our country is being invaded in ways that put our country at risk because of the political games that joe biden has played. a mayor adams is aiding and abetting that by having a sanctuary city status. welcome anyone from across the world to live there or stay there in new york city on the bill of new york city what mayor adams needs to do he needs to stop talking boldly about illegal immigration and the migrants texas is sending there he needs to step up and do his own job because look at the dangers in new york city under his watch. you have a police officer who

was killed. the train system in new york which is a treacherous for travelers. you have got police officers attacked in times square by illegal immigrants. he needs to step up and do his job as a mayor and protect the people of his community as opposed to gimmicks about what's going on on the border. >> the polling clearly shows people are very unhappy with the president's handling of this issue. president biden's job performance on immigration, 67% disapprove. the border numbers are similar as well. the president did get some good economic news in the march jobs report 303,000 jobs added. the unemployment rate in this country is at 3.8 the jobs added number was over 100,000 higher than economists were expecting there. so take a look at this from the publication. this is what they are arguing.

the border crisis might be a boon for the economy. the daily march of migrants across the southern border has been a political curse for joe biden. paired president joe biden but the economy it may have turned out to be a blessing by adding a millions of new workers to the labor market the immigration surge has lifted payroll and growth potentially help keep a lid on consumer prices. what do you say to that, sir? >> i'm going to give you some facts effectively debunked to that notion. for one, one reason the u.s. economy is doing so well is because the texas economy is doing so well. gross domestic product economic growth in texas is going twice as fast at these united states we have the fastest growing economy of any large state in the united states. job wise texas ranks number one for the most new jobs added. our economy and our jobs are growing faster. at the very same time while illegal immigration into the

state of texas is going down. illegal immigration into texas has gone down 72% because of the resistance we have put up has gone up however in the other border states. so texas is decreasing illegal immigration at the very same time adding more jobs and growing our economy far faster than the entire country. martha: give us an update on sb four in word he think this goes next? we heard you talk about quadrupling the wire at the border you just cited the numbers and the drop that's one of the reasons we've seen such a rush over too california because texas has become tougher to handle. what do you expect and next on sb four? looks oral arguments took place last week in the fifth circuit there will be a decision came out, who knows when from that court. then there could be an appeal to the entire court of appeals and eventually appealed to the united states supreme court but

candidly i will tell you this we feel pretty good about sb four which is a law that authorizes texas to make arrests. i feel good about us winning for this very simple reason. what texas is doing is not in conflict with the laws of the united states of america. they are consistent and uphold the laws of the united states of america. there are laws on the books passed by congress that require the president and the country to deny illegal entry. to detain anyone who comes into the country illegally and to build border barriers. joe biden has abandoned that responsibility texas has embraced thembracethat duty. all texas is doing is enforcing laws through sb for the federal government has already s is alry want to have enforced. martha: what should be the ramification for the president not enforcing those laws? >> candidly because he is in direct violation of laws passed by congress out of its criminal

there is definitely a civil action that should be taken. but because of the dangerous threats posed to our country by his action this is reason for his job termination which is exactly what he should be fired by the american people this november. martha: governor abbott thank you very much. good to have you here on this sunday. thank you sir we will see you soon. straightahead president trump last night looking to bring in a big bucks at a glitzy high profile palm beach a fundraiser last night. we'll take you there at live get a report of what happened behind those walls last evening at our sunday panel digs into the dollars of trump versus a biden,

martha: major republican donors gathering in florida last site at a huge event to support for president trump helping him shatter a fundraising record according to the numbers that have commended fox national correspondent madison scarpino live in a windy palm beach this morning with the very latest what happen last night at mar-a-lago. high at madison. >> good morning trump us calling it the biggest night and fundraising history. the fundraiser at hedge fund billionaire rakes in over $50 million according to the rnc. that is up from early estimates of $43 million. it nearly doubled what president

biden raised at his new york city fundraiser former president obama and clinton. this was the first major fundraiser for trump and the rnc since he became the presumptive presidential nominee. trump said his contributor to a cause that will restore faith in our country. >> people are wanting change. rich people want that, poor people want to come everyone wants to change. we are a laughing stock all over the world. >> there were some big names and a lot of money at less ice event. high dollar donors 200 to $800,000 to be at the fundraiser. it was headlined by the former president former first lady melania trump big megan is oil tycoon harold hamm and casino mogul steve wynn were on the guest list along with former rivals who have now endorsed him senator tim scott, governor doug bergen and.

the campaign is slim to trump's high dollar donors strategy. saying it's a way for trump to pay off his legal fees do the bidding of his billionaire buddies. >> this is a grassroots campaign. from teachers and firefighters and cops versus donald trump with a couple billionaires looking for a tax cut. >> donations to the palm beach fundraiser state political parties and political action committee that helps pay his legal bills. trump campaign spokesperson said that pac also covers other expenses as well. still, behind the competition in terms of money. fundraising dollars help close the trump raised $90 million last month. has more cash on hand. compared to $93 million. one on wednesday in georgia

election interference charges campaign events in madison wisconsin and chicago vice president kamala harris will be in philadelphia tomorrow. >> they are making the rounds the battleground states for thank you very much in madison. in a palm beach this morning now it'is time for our sunday group olivia beavers congressional correspondent fox news senior political analyst juan williams katie pavlich and roger zakheim of the ronald reagan institut institution. he is the director there. welcome everybody, great to have you all here. let me start with you at your back and forth between the teams on these numbers. i want to put up again cash on hand number this is a combination of the campaign are and see in this case and the dnc 192 million for joe biden. ninety-three former president trump. how much does this matter real

really? >> and presidential campaigns and campaigns in general soleimani is what makes a world go around that is how you get your name out there. that is how you market yourself. plus doing polling and having staff. in this case donald trump had ground to make up about 100 million deficit. it seems like it started to assuage some of those concerns last night. that will definitely start to help in this case. you are seeing him trying to cater to some of the donors were previousarepreviously supportinf his other primary opponents have since dropped out like ron desantis, nikki haley, this is his way of trying to catch up with how the democrats have been fundraising. martha: it interesting when you look back at 2016 and trump was victorious heat sound the least amount of money that he has the next campaign in 2020 they talk a lot about how the blowing the lid off of fundraising. heat lost in that campaign. these are two players to the american people know very, very well. so what is your take on the

money issue? >> is not something i that one of them needs in terms of where their money ge gets spent therea lot of talk whether donald trump will bring home the republican party last night he started to prove that warren stevens was a big of billionaire out of arkansas he is a big nikki haley support he is not only at the fundraiser but a cochair donating the top amount his name was on the invitation for this fundraiser. interesting place former senator kelly loeffler out of georgia who was at the fundraiser also a cochair. you are seeing i rallying around is not surprising donald trump will be behind in fundraising he just went through a primary we are now in the longest general election i believe we have ever seen. he's bringing home republicans who were previously? 's in terms whether they would back at donald trump. that opens the door for other donors have a safe place to go and get behind the trump campaign. martha: us a quote from the trump folks we hurt i and madison's peace the biden take on who the donors are and who

they are courting. this is what the trump team says figure prevalence ma may not bee beneficiaries of self-interested of hollywood and silicon valley elites president trump is proud to be supported by donations from voters were the backbone of the nation. that's trump campaign senior advisor. this is a question. this part of the money raising reveals how broad the support really is out there. what is your take? >> just the numbers are not in favor of that statement. right now you have the biden people saying 96% of their donors are giving $200 or less. what we saw last night was big money coming behind former president trump. but then it allows the biden people to say you are backed by the oil money and oil billionaire casino billionaire at hedge fund billionaire, tick tock of billionaire you don't have the people. when you think about the need to

consolidate the base the republican base katy was talking about is striking president biden is able to get former presidoverpresident obama, formr president clinton and all of this people to gather in support of him what you get former president trump is doug bergen, the governor of north dakota, tim scott, the senator from south carolina. you do not see nikki haley. you do not see it mike pence. you do not see george w. bush the fillmore republican president. you do not see dick cheney the former republican vice president. that base is still eluding him. but i don't think there's anything getting around he raised a lot of money last night his campaign is saying it's enough for him to run. martha: roger i'm not sure how much the average voter carriers who shows up at the things i do not know people across america, the battleground states and let's put the polls we got last week are sitting on the breakfaround thebreakfast tabley

morning saying this person was there and that person wasn't there. buwhat we are seeing in these numbers it's a very important pole at back steps of the numbers we saw in previous poles. trump is the head and everett battleground state by a few points. some margins are bigger than others you can see clearly here. tied in the state of wisconsin. what's your take? once it's up for grabs. what you see of these numbers is as favoring trump is going to require president biden to get out there. president trump will be out there pray to read a story kamala harris is out of pennsylvania i'm not sure she's going to do with the democrats need. we are seeing with these donors as they make a decision. there making a choice right now they're going to give their money. they would sit on their hands or get the money. voters are going to come down between trump versus biden. it doesn't matter who's out there everyone recognizes it is down to tuber that's what you're going to see the emphasis on those dates because everybody's got to recognize they got doesn't do any good sitting on your hands. >> quick sound bite just to how

effective she is or isn't. let's watch the sound bite from her about what they're doing for folks. >> but think about it. soon the 30,000 more families will have the funds they need to replace drafty windows. and install better insulation to keep their homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. and here in north carolina to help you lower the duke energy bill. you are welcome. martha: you're welcome. >> voting government program after government program the white house is trying to ride on this jobs report when they don't talk about the fact the third of the numbers are government growth jobs prett but especialln healthcare which is not growth for the average person which is why the campaigns having a problem. martha: i know we are short on time. this is fascinating to make three to 3000 jobs created 71000 of those jobs are jobs these are the numbers we are seeing

consistently. the numbers getting bigger and bigger and bigger it is a clear take away. just based purely on the numbers we see here and how you feel about that. we back with more of the great panel stay with us up next america gets ready for a total of clips of the sun in the middle of the afternoon. millions of flock to the path of totality. are you going to be in that path this monday? will go to one of the best places to watch all of this coming up.

the idf is really leadership and the threat of a real attack from the north, or a direct attack for my ron. it is important for all of us

who support israel to be clear we will continue to defend israel against iran or any of its proxies in the region. martha: editor chris kuhn speaking with us earlier this year after israel announced a major ground troop withdrawal from southern gaza we are back now with our panel. olivia, i asked him if he supported this letter from 33 members of congress saying they wanted to pull back even the current military allotment that is on its way the f-15s i believe to israel. where is that going? >> i think the biden administration is blocking this very fine line. we've been seeing especially some of the core voters that help biden win in 2020 the young voters the young about taking issue with how he's been handling gaza. that is where you are seeing this pressurized situation. president biden is saying he wants to support israel but you are also having the senate majority leader doing his his

speech sort of going after president netanyahu i'm sorry i minister netanyahu and that is where you are having this whole conflict arise and biden it needs to figure out how he is going to navigate re- attracting these voters. martha: roger, are there good guys and bad guys between hamas and israel do we still see those lines clearly? >> we must. today's the sixth month anniversary since the tragic events of october 7. lost in the noise or three things. there are hostages five american hostages over 30 americans were killed since october 7. second, hamas is a terrorist organization. they're holding these hostages reportedly around him and third, which the administration le sight of my iran is responsible for supporting these organizations but we lost sight of that if you keep those three things in mind it would result in the u.s. supporting israel. giving them the aid they need and allowing them to finish this fight against terrorism. hamas for israel is what isis is

for the united states but we are seeing this change in tactical operations in israel right up but thoverthere so going to go . martha: at the great point is roger just said isis is to america as hamas is to israel. really there's only one outcome of that in our minds the eradication of isis. and the elimination of that terror group and victory but we are not hearing the president talking about victory for israel. >> i think we are hearing this week the president talking about israel sadly killing those people from world central kitchen and the man who was the head of that the celebrity chef saying israel did not do this as a consequence of war it was tactical and intentional. and i think the president from all we haven't heard of terms of reporting was outraged by the murderer. >> was the president outrage of the check out 10 people from the withdrawal of afghanistan there

was no one was ever reprimanded for that. >> i think everyone it think we have had generals testify on capitol hill just recently about how that was in error. i think what we are seeing on the ground in israel is the president saying listen, what we are seeing going on and gaza is really regrettable. people are calling it a massacre of people at innocent so people who are not involved with hamas. they've got to do a better job of protecting not only innocent people it's really heartbreaking to think about children dying that people who are humanitarian aid workers. that is why the president is saying let's get a deal that involves release of hostages and a cease-fire. this week was the first time you heard the word cease-fire come from this white house. this is squarely behind israel. but netanyahu and his tactics are clearly seating standing in the globe is not just the united
