today. plus anti-israel activist mahmoud khalil out from i.c.e. detention. what he is saying about the u.s. after his release lease. and that big, beautiful bill facing some big changes. why some house republicans are slamming the senate's edits. welcome, everyone, to "fox news live." i am molly line. we begin with mike tobin. he is in tel aviv and has more on the ongoing strikes between israel and iran. mike, good morning. >> reporter: and, molly, good morning. israeli war planes are not letting up in the skies over iran. we photoed they have been hitting -- we know that today they have been hitting an area in southwestern iran conducting assassinations, and they struck at the isfahan nuclear facility, a location where enriched uranium gets a second round of enrichment. an idf spokesman says this deals a substantial blow to the centrifuge capability. israel carried out

assassinations of substantial enbis of the jewish state, one is the -- enemies of the state. one was in a car that was targeted by israeli war planes. the idf also says they assassinated one of the planners of october 7th. they tracked him down and killed him in a hideout apartment. iran's foreign minister says as long as israel continues striking, iran will not return to negotiations. >> in order for us to come back to diplomacy, the aggression should be stopped. it is obvious i cannot go to st. >> reporter: iranian missile barrages continue to fly at israel almost every day and night. after 2 a.m. this morning, about five missiles set off alarms and created fireballs in the sky. air defenses did their jobs, no injuries on the ground. but even after interception, the missiles are still a threat. we've9 got pictures of a rocket

fragment near haifa in the north of israel. the warhead's gone, but most of that rocket remains. israel claims to have destroyed more than half of iran's missile firing capability. molly, back to you. molly: mike tobin, stay safe. thank you very much. this as president trump is set to head back to washington to meet with his national security team later on today. nate foy is traveling9 with the president. he is in bedminster, new jersey, with the very latest. nate, good morning. >> reporter: hey, molly. yeah, president donald trump says the longest that he'll wait before making a decision about whether or not to strike iran will be two weeks, but a decision could come before then. he's going to meet with his national security team when he gets back to the white house later this evening. but for now he's at his bedminster golf chub, and after landing in new jersey yesterday, he made several headlines saying his own director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard, was wrong when she testified before congress in march saying iran

was not pursuing a nuclear weapon. >> reporter: what intelligence do you have that iran is building a nuclear weapon? your intelligence community has said they have no evidence that they are at this point. >> well, then my intelligence community is wrong. who said that in. >> reporter: your director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard. >> she's wrong. >> reporter: take a look at this, molly. gabbard responded on x last night writing, quote: the dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division. america has intelligence that iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months. trump also pushed back on prime minister benjamin netanyahu's comments that israel is capable of destroying iran's fordow nuclear facility on its own. >> they really have a very limited capacity. they can break through a little section, but they can't go down very deep. we'll have to see what happens. maybe it won't be necessary.

>> reporter: meanwhile, iran's foreign pinster met with representatives from britain, france and germany yesterday but without a breakthrough. now, trump also said that he would possibly be open to the idea of a ceasefire during negotiations with iran, but it would depend on the circumstances, and he said that it would be difficult to pull that off right now because israel is winning on the battlefield. we'll send it back to you, molly. molly: nate foy, thank you very much. for more on where things go from here, retired army general, general dana pittard joins me now to talk about things. we have a huge map here, general, a lot to go over. there have been a significant number of strikes conducted by the idf, successful strikes not just on nuclear sites, but on missile sites, on their defenses, on the ways that iran has been very aggressive towards israel as well as very specific strikes on individuals. you could talk to me about what has been most impactful as we look at this map. >> well,s good morning, molly.

as we look at the map, you see that israel has made some pretty impressive strikes against iran's nuclear capability. israel has also achieved what we call air superiority which means that they've sequestered a majority of iranian air defense systems that can impact their aircraft, iraqi aircraft, iraqi-israeli aircraft, so they now have air supremacy which means that they can bomb literally anywhere they want to in iran. so so far the israeli air campaign has been successful. molly: absolutely. now, there is talk, the president talking and weighing this major decision that could come within the next two weeks, general, regarding the fordow site. he's also a talked about, as you mentioned, how successful israel has been in whether or not that will be necessary. if the u.s. does join this

militarily up front in a very up-front manner, could there be repercussions? we have a significant number of assets all across the middle east and more moving in. this is just one map that kind of shows the military presence broadly, but it's being beefed up significantly. the uss nimitz, the carrier strike group, joining those assets in the area. there are a great number of additional planes moving into the area. if you could talk about what comes next as the u.s. military continues to move assets into the area, into the middle east joining all of these carrier strike groups. >> oh, absolutely. there's a lot to unwrap here. first of all, i think it's wise, president trump is really taking a pause. this is a major decision. and so to make -- take a pause of about two weeks, really think about it, look at the situation, talk to his advisers and talk to our allies, for sure, in the area. we do have lots of troops and bases in the area. but it's more than just the

initial impact of that for a strike against iran. the problem is if we strike iran, that really is war. and it's a major war. and, you know, before you get into a conflict, you've got to decide, well, how will that conflict end? and we have is an example of that from decades ago when iraq attacked iran, saddam hussein attacked iran when they were very weak in 1980, and and he initially won and kind of declared victory. but iran kind of said, hey, wait a minute, it's not over yet. we're not, we're not going to surrender. so for the next five years, iran did nothing but attack iraq. and then eight years later the war ended with a stalemate with half a million people dead. so we really need to take a good look at this. we should not be backed into a corner by our ally, israel, to attack iran. we need to think about it. i think we need to give peace a

chance because the implications of this are greater than just a strike against a nuclear facility. the implications of this is a major war against a nation of 85 million people. molly: yeah. one of the other maps that i think is really worth looking at given what you just said is about the ebbs pansive proxies that -- expansive proxies iran has, particularly in iraq. particularly an area where the proxies could hit some of the more vulnerable military bases all across the middle east. talk to me where the greatest threat would come there in the middle east for our troops if the u.s. does choose to strike. >> well, the threats are all over the place. first of all, certainly our facilities in iraq because of the shia mill saws -- militias. but also our big air base that is in qatar. shipping, the straits of hormuz could be closed by iranian mines, and the small iranian navy could actually do that. they could also hit our bases

and sites all over the region. iran has spent years with this axis of resistance with lebanon, houthis in yemen, syria and other places. most of that has been terribly weakened now by israel, and that that's a good thing. but those bases would still be vulnerable to iranian attacks or iranian proxies. but they have been hardened recently. if they do attack, the u.s. has something for that, certainly, who can answer that. but the bigger question is the major war. do we want to get into a major war in the middle east over this? if. molly: general petard, thank you very much. i think it's worth pointing out there are these five carrier strike groups in the region, and we greatly appreciate your insights this morning. thank you very much. israeli ambassador to the united nations, danny danon, speaking out on iran's attacks at the u.n. on friday. take a listen. >> iran has proven its ability

to strike strategic targets with accuracy. this was a deliberate act. it is a blatant violation of international law. a war crime. and a calculated attempt to murder the most vulnerable. let this council understand what that missile really signified, that no one is safe, that if iran will target a hospital with a ballistic missile, it will target anyone anywhere with anything they have. today it was bear shelf v.a., tomorrow it could be brussels. soon it could be boston. is rapidly expanding its ballistic missile arsenal. we have seen diplomatic talks for the last few decades, and look at the results. so, you know, if there will be a genuine effort to dismantle the capabilities of iran, then that's something we can with consider. but if it's going to be like

another session and debates, that's not going to work. molly: let's bring in now the consul-general of israel here in new york. sir, so glad you were able to be here today. >> thank you for having me. it's very important to reflect the truth about the current situation in the middle east. molly: well, i want to get your insight. we just listened to general pittard giving his insights into what it could mean for the united states to join this conflict in a more forward military posture. your thoughts on what he had to say. >> first of all, we would love to to take decisions for the american administration and for the american people. but i want to remind you all that from 1979 the ayatollahs, the iranian regime, they are saying that death to israel, death to america. and i think this is the main point. they want this place. they are talking about a small

satan, israel. now they are targeting hospitals, kindergartens, civilians in tel aviv, bare shave v.a., as we just heard. haifa. by the way, yesterday a mosque in the city of haifa in the north. so they're saying israel is the maul satan, and the big satan is you, my american friends. and i want you to know it. they want to destroy us, and i'm talking about the united states of america, the state of israel and in the middle europe. molly: you know, we've been watching these big upticks in military assets, u.s. military assets joining there in the middle east in defense of israel. we've been working to head off of some of the missiles. sadly, some of these missiles have struck there in israel, tragically. how -- do you think that posture matters? does that send a message to iran, and will they get that message? >> i don't think so. i must be honest with you.

we gave them a chance. 60 days according to the president of the united states' decision to negotiate with the ayatollahs, with the iranian regime. they said, no. two days before we launched the operation they said we will not do nothing with our nuclear sites and with our ballistic -- they said it, of course -- with our ballistic missiles. but i want you to understand that their ballistic missiles target tel aviv now, other places around the state of israel, it's just the beginning. what's the reason that the iranian regime wants intercontinental ballistic missiles? they don't need intercontinental ballistic missiles to hit tel aviv, they can use ordinary ballistic missiles to hit tel aviv. they want intercontinental ballistic missiles to use them, first of all, as i said, toward europe and then toward manhattan. that's what they want. but i want to be clear with you,

they are saying it. they are saying it very honestly. the ayatollahs, the iranian regime verse -- versus the western world. we don't want your values. we don't want your democracy. we don't want your freedom here in manhattan or in california, florida or in canada or even in unitedgdom. they want their ideas all around the world, and they're saying it, as i said, from 1979. you know what we've learned from the history? that when a fascist regime saying that it wants to destroy you, you better believe them. and i think that israel now is in the same situation like united kingdom. i'm talking about may 1940. so this is may 1940. israel, for now, we are standing alone against the iranian regime and the ayatollahs, and our people fight -- must find a place to protect themselves in the shelters just like london in

1940. molly: yeah. when you talk about alone, there's this very sensitive period right now. the president has said two weeks. we don't know necessarily that if a strike does come from the u.s. that that it will be sooner than two weeks. that's not a final deadline. it seems to be a window of opportunity for iran. however, they haven't changed their posture over the course of multiple negotiations, five, six rounds direct and indirect regarding what they're willing to do and what they're willing to give up. what do you make of this opportunity that's been handed to iran that's ticking? the clock is ticking right now. >> i will say i don't -- we are not believe them. we are not believe the iranian regime and the ayatollahs because they say time after time after time, we'll keep our nuclear site, we'll keep our nuclear abilities, we want to use them -- by the way, i saw the map. it's still here. you can see yemen here in yemen, it's not -- there is no territorial debate between israel and yemen, and they want

to smuggle their nuclear bomb, one nuclear bomb to yemen through the persian gulf, okay in and to fire the nuclear bomb, one-bomb state. israel is a one-bomb state, toward israel. i don't believe them. my suggestion to my beloved american people really, and i'm really admire the american society and the american culture. don't believe them. they are liars, and they are cruel and they will not miss the opportunity to fire their ballistic missiles. first of all, they're doing it toward israel then toward the western world. molly: yeah. and part of these negotiations is to work towards getting them to give up this power that they have across the middle east and across these proxies as you mentioned, including in yemen. >> and this is a very, very important map because on this map we can see how they build their abilities from 1979, first of all, in lebanon with hezbollah, then with hamas. we will never forget october

7th, never forget october 7 massacre. and, of course, in yemen likely. so my suggestion is not to believe the ayatollahs and the iranian regime. molly: thank you very much. >> thank you so much for having me. thank you for your time. molly: thank you for coming in. we greatly appreciate it. >> thank you so much. molly: up next, a legal win for president trump in his efforts to break up anti-i.c.e. protests in los angeles. and later, the house oversight committee set to interview former biden aides next week as new fox news polls reveal what americans make of his mental fitness while in office. impress. and with convenient same-day delivery we'll help you make sure everything turns out. awesome. lowe's knows how to help you summer.

molly: a win for the trump administration, an appellate court panel ruling that the president can keep control to over the california national guard which is now deployed in los angeles to protect federal buildings from anti-i.c.e. protesters. this as more protests are expected today. madeleine rivera is in washington with the details on this. madeleine. >> reporter: yeah. the legal back and forth on this issue is not over, molly. federal judge charles breyer is asking both sides of the case to submit briefs by monday. essentially, breyer is trying to forget out what parts of the case he can consider after an

appeals court blocked his ruling that the president acted illegally when he took control of the california national guard. the three-judge panel argues the president did likely exercise his authority. they pointed to violence against some federal officers and damage to federal buildings during the protests. the president is celebrating the ruling saying he saved l.a. by having the military go in. things in the city have calmed down since then. l.a. mayor karen bass lifted the curfew for the downtown area on tuesday, but vice president j.d. vance says the administration will wait before deciding how long the military will stay in l.a. >> we've got to do this case by case, see how this go, ensure that you don't have the increase in right -- rioting actsivity -- activity. >> reporter: bass is slamming vance for calling california senator alex padilla jose. she says he's stirring up division in the city. >> this is consistent with the

provocation from washington that began two weeks ago when our city was calm and many millions of angelenos were going about working and contributing to our city. >> reporter: anti-i.c.e. protests are expected at dodger stadium today. the team says i.c.e. agents were denied from entering the stadium on thursday morning. i.c.e. rejected that with the department of homeland security releasing a statement saying that customs and border patrol cars were in the stadiums parking lot, very briefly though. our bill melugin reports the cbp officers were looking for a place to stage and regroup after running an operation in hollywood. molly. molly: madeleine rivera, thank you. we now bring in jonathan fahey, a former federal prosecutor who also once served as the acting director of i.c.e. jonathan, thanks for joining us today. we greatly appreciate it. i want to start with this appeals court victory. trump calling this a big win. he can keep control of the national guard there in california, but gavin newsom, the governor, tried to look at

this with a little bit of a silver like. he says the court rightly rejected trump's claim that he can do whatever he wants with the national guard. your thoughts on the court, how they ruled and what this means for the president. >> this was a huge win for president trump on a couple of fronts, one on the legality because president trump is allowed to deploy the national guard if there are people interfering with his execution of federal laws. in this case, they were the federal immigration laws. so he won on a three-judge panel 3-0 in a traditionally very liberal court. gavin newsom's statement is, frankly, preposterous that he said he can't do whatever he wants. donald trump never said he could do whatever he wants. but this is also a major victory on substance because president trump brought in the national guard because l.a. was getting out of hand, and l.a. was doing nothing. the local officials were doing nothing to quell the violence, so he put an end to the violence with this. he put public safety ahead of all the politics that's goingen

there -- going on there. and the democrats are always putting illegal aliens ahead of american citizens, plus they're putting criminals ahead of law enforcement. one of the statements mayor bass gave that was played earlier on "fox & friends" was astonishing, because she said the situation was under control before the national guard got there. but, in fact, the chief of police from los angeles made the statement that they were overwhelmed. overwhelmed is certainly meaning you need some help. donald trump gave some help, things got better. major win on all fronts for president trump. molly: and, jonathan, i also want to ask ask you how the trump administration is addressing the issue of migrant workers. the president said yesterday he's looking at new policies that would have farmers take responsibility for the people that they hire. this is coming after some back and forth as to whether i.c.e. would limit raids on places like hotels and farms. your thoughts on this. >> well, i really don't think they are going to be focusing on farms and hotels. and the only instances that i'm aware with of that they've been doing so when there's other

criminal activity involved. so i think they're going to be focus focusing on the criminals, you know, probably in the sanctuary cities primarily. but i do think it's important you can't just say there's sort of a blanket amnesty if you're on a farm or anything else which is really what the prior administration did, essentially said once you get in here absent the most extraordinary circumstances, you're getting de facto citizenship. i do think they're going to keep the focus on the criminals, but they are being very clear if you're here illegally, you're not allowed to be here, and you need to leave. molly: i think you nailed something there, that the administration is trying to offer more clarity on. trish shah mclaughlin, the assistant secretary for dhs saying there will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposefully try to undermine i.c.e.'s effort, talking about the potential work force enforcement yet to come. lastly, the trump administration is touting that zero illegal migrants were released in the u.s. in may. i mean, that's around enormous

contrast to the 62,000 released at the same time last year when we look at the biden administration. do you think we'll continue to see this, i would say numbers, but it's really zero. >> yeah. the lack of numbers, and, yes, i do. it really is very interesting in that it shows that president trump, just his actions and messaging has made this enormous difference. so we really didn't need some major legislative overhaul. but i think a few things that contributed to this at the border, they're ended catch and release, plus they've reinstituted remain in mexico, so is it makes it harder to get in. they've also been enforcing internal immigration haw by deporting people that are here, so making -- sending the message that if you get here, you're not going to get to stay. and finally, the messaging's been on point so the defense has been -- deterrence has been strong. it's interesting how the success at the border has coincided with the democrats sort of raising their antics and escapades and

resistance really revealing what their message was all the time which was open borders and amnesty. i haven't seen any democrat commending president trump and border patrol and i.c.e. for these numbers at the border when all of them were saying at least outwardly tata they were in favor of border security. now he's given it to them, and to one says anything complimentary about him. so i think it's very revealing, and you do see the increase, the rioting, the rhetoric against i.c.e. is really because they are against donald trump's success and, therefore, open borders and amnesty. and he's making it much harder for them to achieve their goals. molly: yeah. it'll be very have interesting as we inch closer tou very much. covering a lot of ground, we appreciate it. >> thank you. molly: all right. is that big, beautiful bill about to undergo a massive overhaul of big changes? republican congressman mike lawler tells us why he's coming out against some of the changes they're seeing in the senate. >> but first, the probes into

former biden aides start next week as americans weigh in on the former president's mental fitness while in office. for your kids' independence... and parental notifications... so you can keep an eye on how they're using it. still on budget. control for parents. freedom for kids. that's family banking from chase.

♪ molly: starting next week, the house oversight committee will interview four former biden staffers on the former president's mental fitness while in office. a new fox news poll shows 6 8% -- 68% say that biden's cognitive decline was obvious even before his debate against trump, and that led to biden withdrawing from the race, of course, less than a month later. here with the read on the political fallout that we are still seeing, the white house correspondent for real clear politics, phil wegmann. good morning, thanks for joining us. potentially a fascinating week ahead in washington. both the senate and the house have their investigations. on the senate side, the democrats are barely

participating. we have a pretty active several weeks to come on the house side with these former staffers that knew biden, worked with biden going before this committee to answer questions. what do you expect? >> well, they're going to be in the hot seat because these are the people who were close to the former president of the united states. they're the ones who insisted that he was fine, and that statistic that you mentioned a second ago where nearly 70% of americans thought that they saw a decline before that first debate in atlanta when it was on display, i think that explains the trust deficit that was built up by democrats and that remains today. because while the white house was saying that biden had good days and bad days, you know, behind the scenes he was deteriorating. karine jean-pierre, she told me he was as sharp as ever and then later the dam broke, and you had democrats calling for him to step aside. ultimately, it wasn't until it was too late. i think that, frankly, some democrats who blame him for kamala harris' loss in 2024, i

think they're going to be watching this with a little bit of i told you so attitude. molly: well, there is that question about what the democratic party knew, what they did about things, what was intentional, what wasn't intentional. journalist chuck todd kind of makes this argument that the debate -- which was predictably going to come, was almost a setup or an ambush. take a listen. >> i will go to my grave believing that the debate was intentional. they knew when the nomination was going to be, and they knew they needed to deal with this with an opportunity to make a change if it was necessary. molly: noting that the debate was held a little early. your thoughts on that sentiment. >> all of us were trying to figure out why that debate was so early. traditionally, these happen, you know, closer to the fall. the theory was among biden folks that if he had a bad debate, he'd have time to recover. certainly, no one expected him to fall apart like that.

remember, biden used to say when people asked him about his age or question his ability, watch me. and then, you know, in front of millions of americans they did watch, and they watched a man that was greatly diminished. i think chuck todd has an interesting parlor game theory there, but from, you know, every indication that i've gotten i do think that, you know, democrats thought that biden could maybe rise to the occasion one more time. for instance, i was talking to california governor gavin newsom right before that debate, and he said is, oh, you know, biden's fine. i'm the one who's nervous because, you know, biden, he always steps up to the plate in these big moments. and then, of course, he did the exact opposite. molly: phil wegmann, thank you so much. we greatly appreciated. we loved chatting with you. it'll be an interesting week ahead in washington. it seems to always be the case lately, appreciate it. >> thank you. molly: up next, the fallout after a judge orders the release of anti-israel activist mahmoud

khalil. and later, two major food giants are making big changes to their ingredients. how the make america healthy's again movement mad ke a differee here. and with convenient same-day delivery we'll help you make sure everything turns out. awesome. lowe's knows how to help you summer.

molly: mahmoud khalil, the activist who led anti-israel protests at columbia university, is now free from i.c.e. custody after a judge's order yesterday. c.b. cotton is here in new york with the details on this. c.b. >> reporter: hey, good morning, molly. yeah. today we're expecting mahmoud khalil to be back here in new york after after a district judge ordered him to be released. but the d. of homeland security -- department of homeland security has suggested that judge may not have is the final word. and we know the trump administration has already appealed the judge is' ruling to the third circuit court of appeals. for now, khalil is out on bail. yesterday he walked from federal custody in louisiana pumping his fist. he was held for a little more than three months.

went asked what he would do first when he returned home, khalil said is he'd hug his wife and son, and despite his uncertain future, he is doubling down on his views about the war if gaza and said america has, quote, racist policies against immigrants. >> there's no person who should be detained while actually protesting a genocide, for protesting their university, columbia university, that is investing in the genocide of the palestinian people. >> reporter: when the u.s. district judge ordered khalil's release, he said the graduate was not a flight risk or a danger to the community, and he said continuing khalil's detention was, quote, highly unusual. -- unusual. khalil, who is a lawful permanent resident was arrested in march. an immigration judge found he was removable based on a memo from secretary of state marco rubio that said khalil's campus

activism was at odds with foreign policy interests. after khalil was released, dhs wrote in part on x, quote, the trump administration acted well within its statutory and constitutional authority to detain khalil as it does with any alien who advocates for violence is, glorifies and supports terrorists, harasses jews and damages property. and and today we're monitoring to see whether khalil makes any public remarks now that we're expecting him to be back here in the big apple. molly. molly: c.b. cotton right here in new york city, thank you. now let's bring in kenneth martin, the founder and chairman of the brans dice center, and he served -- brandeis center. he's also testifying in a house hearing on the rise of anti-semitic attacks on tuesday. sir, thank you very much for joining us this morning. we greatly appreciate it. i just want to get your reaction to this. mahmoud khalil has been one of the most high profile arrests of

the student activists. your thoughts on his release today and what you expect to hear from him. >> sure, molly. so we saw that the first thing that he did after being released from incarceration so to wrap a symbol of anti-israel violent resistance around his neck and to say that justice will prevail. unfortunately for him, i believe that he is right. justice will, ultimately, prevail. and the u.s. government -- including in particular the u.s. secretary of state, marco rubio -- will be the one who gets to say what is in the foreign policy interests of the united states. as we see, violence towards jews and others abroad, we as americans have the right to say who will and will not be able to enter and stay in the united states, and those who support terror and engage in harassment of jews or any other americans really have outstayed their welcome and can be asked to

leave. molly: mahmoud khalil was alleged or has been alleged to be among the most powerful student leaders at columbia university. columbia university, they have some of the most high profile protests and highlighted some of the very anti-semitic comments that these protesters were broadly making, jewish students consistently reiterating they felt unsafe on campuses. but there were e a number of campuses where jewish students had those same feelings. going forward, what sort of a message can the government send when it takes such a long time to push back on any of the instigators or that the people that as you mentioned the secretary of state would like to see removed from the country? >> sure, molly. you are right, we have seen ho-ho protests, we have seen apartment, we have seen hurt feelings -- harassment, we have seen hurt feelings, but that's only half of it. we've seen physical attacks and

assaults, we've seen organized attacks on buildings as well as individuals. we've seen employees like janitors being physically assaulted and held against their will during occupation. what we're looking at is not just a series of student protests but, rather, a highly organized and to some degree centralized and foreign-funded attack not just on jewish-americans, but on american institutions and, ultimately, on america itself. we as a country can decide whether we will or will not fight in iran. but when the war on terror comes to america, when we see people gunned down on the streets of the united states, we cannot decide to simply let it happen. for too long campus anti-semitism was allowed to fester by administrators with double standards who refused to take strong action, and now we're seeing the same problems

from the campuses spilling out onto the streets with any number of americans now being at risk of violence. this has to stop. we need to see strong actions from the administration, from the states, from local governments and law enforcement. molly: kenneth marcus, thank you very much. and here we are on the cusp of some big changes to student visas as well. but thank you very much for your insights today. we greatly appreciate it. >> my pleasure, molly. molly: coming up, iran and israel ramp aing up attacks. what it means for u.s. nuclear talks. but first, two major food companies are making pretty big changes to their product9. what you need to know next. muck

here on this saturday morning. great to have you with us. your thoughts on the deal the cereal makers have made, how quickly they're going to do it and what it means for us to no longer are these dyes in our cereals. >> well, molly, i'm very happy to hear and see this because back in april when marty makary, fda commissioner, announced it was going to be voluntary first, i was wondering, are they really going to do this? because in canada and the european union, there are actually warning labels that say this could lead to hyperactivity in your kid, yellow dye 5, 6 and red dye 40 have those warnings. this is more voluntary, and i'm really happy to see big players like kraft heinz and general mills pony up. they already were in the right direction, to be fair. kraft hasn't had any dyes in mac and cheese since 2016. but now they're adding kool-aid -- so 90% of kraft and general mills already have no art official dyes, but now kraft

heinz is adding their kool-aid and their jell-o so this. and you've got to understand, when kids eat something that looks like it's from outer space, they may get addicted to it. and that's what i'm worried about. so this is a big step, and other people in the food industry is are going to follow suit. so i'm very, very happy about this. molly: yeah. great to hear about the mac and cheese. i'm a bit of a connoisseur in that realm. meantime, the trump administration, they're launching a study into the long-term health consequences for residents of east palestine, ohio, after the train derailment. that was 2023, causing a toxic spill. i have to tell you, i'm from that part of the country, i'm from west virginia is, appalachia, and there are so many instances in which people, you know, rural people, backwoods people rig neared and their health concerns are ignored -- ignored. what do you expect will be discovered as part of this study? >> well, i've got to tell you firsthand, i went to east palestine for fox in february of '23, and i interviewed people on the ground right when the news

media was saying, well, i don't know if this is really doing anything. and i found that they had lung problems, they had worsening 'em my seem ma, they were having trouble breathing, some were having skin problem, some were having toxins from that river affecting them, and it really has been ignored up until now. i'm positive that there are long-term health risks here. so hats off to j.d. vance, vice president vance, for being behind this and putting millions into this effort. they're going to find long-term health risks, and that's what the cdc thought at the time too with boots on the ground. these are serious toxins here, molly. vinyl chloride, benzene, these things are in the air, and they've been in the environment there, and they are in the water. so this needs to be studied, and this is the right thing. molly: all right. lastly, doctor, here's one that lot of folks may be able to identify with. a new study found that one in three americans are exhausted from the morning they wake up in the morning. what steps can we take to make sure we wake up feeling a bit

more rested? what am i doing wrong? >> i don't know that you're doing anything wrong, but i, i am, for sure. [laughter] i'm waking up throughout the night, and i think the issue here is do you get your iphone off early enough, are you drinking caffeine beverages at night, are you having alcohol, because it may put you to sleep, and then you wake up in the middle of the night. are you drinking enough water. if you drink more water throughout the day and at night, you're going to decrease your are risk of waking up at night. that's another thing, staying well hydrated. and i also like natural things like bananas, like magnesium. i'm not telling everyone out there to take magnesium, but check with your doctor because things like those natural ingredients could actually help you sleep at night. how about a calm period of time with the lights off before you go to sleep. molly: that sounds amazing, dr. siegel. i just need to be more zen. a lot of us need more zen. thank you so much.
