United states stands the people of israel. Constant flow of ambulance. The military bringing troops here. So really Wounded Soldiers are being evacuated in the front here. Civilians dragging them out to the streets executing them and grabbing women and children and caring them into gaza through the tunnels. It horrific. I am brian kilmeade, welcome to one nation. Israel declaring war, brutal unprecedented sneak attack by hamas terrorism there are a lot of them. Thousands of rockets and infiltrating israelis border by land, by air and sea. It started slaughtering and kidnapping people many of which are still missing. His left at least 300 israel he said, 1500 wounded making it to the deadliest attack in israel in decades. President Biden Condemning the terrace of pulse saying the United States stands firmly with the jewish state israels Prime Minister netanyahu says enough is enough and down to reach every place to find hamas and find out where they are hiding and reduce them to rubble. We are beginning to see his actions. For more, trey yingst has been on the front lines reporting all day and will he with us throughout the show. Tonight in israel, trey, update us. Good evening. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered roots to the border gaza. We seen videos of tanks and other military vehicles headed toward gaza for an Security Cabinet approved what appears to be in operation that will be launched into gaza territory. The envelope around, family and still along the border as israelis try to secure the area and rocket fire from the gaza strip continue. As you noted, more than 300 killed israel 1500 wounded. Thousands of rockets streaming through the skull the real reason for the possibility of you what it was like earlier rockets were fired into southern and control israel. Right now a massive barrage of rockets of the gaza strip. This is an effort by hamas and she hung to overwhelm israels missile defense, the iron dome, the constant barrage one after another. You can hear explosions there. The iron dome picking up some of the fire but not all of it. Hamas entered our commu communities. It was the Worst Nightmare ever. Hearing about People Killed from your own community and people kidnapped inside their house and talking to my parents who live closest to the border with gaza and hearing from my mother first thing in the morning she hears they broke the window, they start wrecking things inside the house. Its true my dad has a gun but what can he do in front of ten people coming into their homes . Truly a Nightmare Scenario in Southern Israel. We know dozens of israeli civilians and boulders were taken by hamas militants into the gaza strip. Tonight the group releasing a statement saying they are keeping Prisoners Of War in the tunnel gaza in the same place they tore rockets and ammu ammunition. Is your understanding hamas stop with the offensive and holding what they stole and is israel on the offense of right now . Is the push Terror Attack somewhat subsided. Rock environment doesnt continue tonight. Much of the territory held by hamas in Southern Israel has been read by israeli forces. One piece of good news a few hours ago on this is horrific story, 11 people rescued from a Hostage Situation one of the communities along the gaza border. Its unclear how much territory these militant are holding but we saw videos today of Resupplying Fighters and it gives you a sense of how significant the crossborder attack was. They came across the border this morning and brought with them machine guns and rbg and anything they had to wreak terror on civilian populations. They went to a concert and mowed down some of the attendees throwing Hand Grenades into the crowd. They went to communities along the border taking people hostage in their homes killing women and children and simply showing no mercy. This was a massacre on a scale hard to comprehend. I see a number of 163 people being held against their real, is that the number you are claiming . The group in control of gaza hamas put out a statement indicating the number is in the 160s, 163 or 164 we should know in the past they have made numbers larger to make their efforts appear more accessible but we do know there are dozens of hostages inside the strip. That includes civilians, soldiers and workers that were captured along the border. It is such a significant part of the story because traditionally israelis would go in with fighter jets and target hamas positions and Rocket Launcher units within the gaza strip. We been inside gaza when that happened today will have to operate different due to the fact there are dozens of their own civilians and soldiers inside being held by these militants. Makes so much, we will check in shortly again, youre in the eye of the storm. Debbie attack against israel shocked u. S. And the world, how must Terrorist Act by everyone storming into Southern Israel. Republicans have been blasting President Biden over the invasion and for releasing 6 billion in rows and i run funds ahead of the horrifying Surprise Attack not over but keep in mind the 6 billion not yet arrived but theres other catalyst, they could help iran in the Biden Administration granting sanctions relief to iran as they try to revive the 2015 deal and iran pumping out oil, lots of it instead of 400 Million Barrels, try about 3 million a day, thats a lot of money pouring in to that country finances hamas. Right now someone who is no stranger who live there for a while, National Security advisor, jennifer griffin. What must it be like on the ground in the streets you know so well . You a member in 2002 who broke the story of a very large shipment of 100 million worth of iranian weapons in route to the Gaza Strip Israeli navy intercepted them in the red sea. Who broke the story. I interviewed in prison the palestinian captain of that weapons ship. That goes back to 202420 years iranians have been basically arming hamas sending money to hamas but i need to clarify 6 billion keeps getting tossed around for political reasons and the 6 billion not money sent to iran. It was money a radiant money, not u. S. Taxpayer money and a south korean thank and four of the five hostages of guitar thank, and the only thing giving to a man is money is taken out, it is to buy food and medicine and has to go through a third party, not given directly to iranians. I read your report. They say not a penny of the money has been gone it is horrific. You saw the images, i was there when one israeli soldier was taken held for five years and israelis stop at nothing to go into gaza and try to rescue that soldier. We now have up to 100 hostages, civilians, women and children, grandmothers and soldiers being held alive by hamas in the gaza strip. Thats going to change the way in which israelis will have to operate street to street within the gaza strip but we are seeing airstrike has taken out the home of the head of hamas but we learned israelis have lost the head of their brigade, Colonel Jonathan was well thought of was killed by terrorists earlier tonight. How long would most last if iran stop financing them . Hamas wouldnt exist if iran didnt promise them so you have funding that keeps, the oxygen that keeps hamas alive because there is no economy in the gaza strip. The other faction of the palestinians, are they part of this, are they being targeted . I think what is interesting, thats the west bank in ramallah. The palestinian authority, no friend of hamas but the two have been come bedfellows of the years because of the lack of a piece process, lack of two State Solution but what is notable and whats important is the reaction from the region, the qatar and others have spoken out against israel and have taken the side of hamas. That is significant and should be washed. The real concern tonight at the pentagon and among those officials is they dont want this conflict to spread beyond israels border. They want israel to have whatever weapons they need to crush hamas in the gaza strip and recognize this is Terror Attack on the size and scale of 9 11 for the United States but they do not want has a lot to get involved, they do not want iran to take advantage of the situation and carry out more attacks elsewhere against u. S. Troops in the region or against israel itself and thats why heard the president make the speech he did from the white house today, warning is the law and others without naming them saying do not take advantage of this moment. How many attacks on u. S. Troops by iran over the last two years . Is it 80 plus . I dont have a figure in front of me but if you go back to general who was killed while visiting iraq a few years back, he was the principal mastermind of the support for like hamas, hezbollah and syria, proxy forces there so the killing of that general was significant in terms of destabilizing everyones efforts in the region but there are many more parts of the Iranian Revolutionary guard and they are sending money and weapons all the time to these proxy groups across the region. Thanks so much, great perspective, appreciate it. I must Terrorist Firing Thousands of rockets sending dozens of fighters into israel tells you the gaza strip and catching them almost one 100 surprised. Israel conducting counterattack hamas going on right now. Its going to me going street to street and gaza, something they did not want to do in years past. Its going to change now . Lets bring in general jack keane. If this is you and you are in charge of the response, where you hit first . First of all, they had to secure their order and retake the territory they lost and about that business as we speak and it was spending the fact that they lost control of the border and a mosque was able to attack the community. I dont know if youve seen anything on the internet, its pretty horrific how they slaughter families in their homes, pretty outrageous attack and i think psychologically israeli people probably feel vulnerable in a way they have not in the past. Its not that they get numb by Rocket Attacks that they have confidence in iron domes ability to deal with that but now attacks in their homes and taking scores of them hostage, entire families, its something they have not seen in some time here. The second thing got to do is suppress the Missile Attacks and theyve been about that all day and into the night and they will continue. Then they have to make up their mind how they will deal with the hostages. Certainly this is a concerted effort on hamas part. We know full well if they take a single soldier hostage, israelis will give up Hundreds Prisoners to get the single soldier fact and the country emotionally behind that having cores of hostages and families, civilians, not soldiers but soldiers. This is a huge psychological emotional event for the israeli people that is going to complicate Military Operations going dealing with gaza itself. I think likely israelis will go to a third party with a model. Obviously they have made an effort to do this to have these hostages and the implications they will exchange and they want something in return so there is opportunity to have negotiation but the other Weight Bearing down on netanyahu is because of the scale of this attack, rockets and missiles, the numbers of them and the speed and attack on the civilian population. The political weight to do something really tough about the situation once and for all and hes going to feel that it brings in play military operation. Mainly what they like to do is air and missile attack to destroy as much as possible and sent back Hamas Movement for months or a couple of years. In this case they may find themselves going in formation. Those options are certainly on the table in the back of the mind they know will sitting up there hezbollah, one 30,000 plus rockets and missiles, long longrange, more precision and can reach most of israel and it brings in david, a Different Air Defense System and last time they got into it with hezbollah was in 2006 and they didnt do so well after a month they pulled out of there and all Service Chiefs were fired by the Prime Minister for what he believed was incompetence so thats in the back of their mind as well dealing with this. They do not want hezbollah into this operation. Iran is behind they scored a teacher three. What is the victory . Normalization of elections between saudi arabia and israel is on hold that is for sure. I dont think it will go away but its going to be delayed significantly as a result. All right, thanks so much. To show how on the money you are, one of the first things has collected was released a statement saying we are in conflict with the leadership of hamas and describe events as divisive response and continued operation and a message to those Seeking Normalization Israel so they dont like the Abraham Accords and what happened on the back of it. Lets see if the rest of the nations have the courage to continue forward. General, thanks so much. Mark Breaking News as israel goes to war against hamas after a deadly Surprise Attack leaving hundreds dead, many missing and some taken hostage. We have the details and analysis and whats happening around the globe in response to this in a moment, youre watching a Special Edition of one nation. Will will israel is under attack and omission we have not seen basically 1973 and u. S. Officials are said to be raising concerns over israels Intelligence Upper Hamas attack this morning catching about everybody by surprise. The burning question, how is this invasion . Is rittenhouse are to the nations and now a member of israel for he sits on the Intelligence Committee and former Deputy Defense minister during the thank you for your time right now, how would you characterize the response to the attacks this morning . As you mentioned, we are in a war is over the Pushback Terrorists invaded we fear the area in the south. We havent responded yet and i can assure you tonight we will respond. It will be painful to the leadership of hamas so brutality three kidnapped kids and families, elderly persons into gaza the way which are the entire family simply see horrific footage and realize we are dealing with some kind of a new form of isis at our southern border and we are determined to fight back and determined to win. We know its not going to be easy but it will happen. We will hunt them down and win this war. You guys are known for your intelligence operations, teaching the world how to do it. How did they pull off this Massive Attack and almost catching your entire nation by surprise . I know we only have a year to back but your reaction to what happened today, is everyone surprised . With their indications Something Like this was in the works . We were caught by surprise. We cannot say and i think we have to look into it. One of the major mistakes was we allowed them to get in the fence and they used the borders to plan and multiply activities right next to our fence. I think in the future we should not allow anyone to get close to our offense and they took advantage of that but now its not the time to look at the mistakes. We got to fight and show our strengths and we have to make sure to bring back dozens of civilians who were kidnapped into gaza. Ambassador, i know the concern of the rest of the whole world especially you guys, hezbollah will mobilize even though hamas and hezbollah do not necessarily get along, they are united on not liking israel. Have you seen any indication has bilotta is mobilizing to attack you on the other side . We know they are fighting to collaborate with hamas and bring everybody together and try to test her abilities, we are watching the border with lebanon and i hope they will not join the cycle of violence. If they do, they will fill them as well. We have no patience after what we have seen in the last 24 hours. Paid a very heavy price. All of us saw what happened and we see the names of the victims we are talking hundreds of israelis were killed or massacred and i would advise hezbollah not to join what we are seeing today. Lastly, which of the American People know about what its like to be in tel aviv right now . Now it is quiet, its very Early Morning but we are entering a new day of fighting terrorists, the barbaric, evil and you faced it with 9 11. You cannot ask for any reason for the attack, its unprovoked but israeli people are strong. We need to fight, we are united and support the Prime Minister in the fight for our life. Are you a country divided . And seen so much about protests in the west bank. Israel protesting israelis in this government, are those protests giving signal to outside enemies that you were a country divided x . When we are under attack, who put differences aside, we dont have any arguments, no left or right position. We are one people fighting together and we mobilize the reserve. My son and the familys, the people have to fight and we stand together. I think in the past 50 years a ago, we fought the war and it was harder than today and we showed our ability to come together and thats whats happening now. Israelis are coming together to fight against these evil forces of hamas. America is in your corner. Thanks so much, ambassador. You got a lot on your plate but wanted to talk to the american audience and tell us whats really going on. Thank you, ambassador. Appreciate it. Meanwhile, unprecedented invasion of israel sending shockwaves around the world and now growing question on whether President Bidens appeasement of enemies may be iran, hamas and bashan, Chris Christie is talking about and also funny for president. He joined us next. President Biden Under Fire for republicans and others who says appeasement of israels enemies like iran but at this war against israel. Former new jersey governor governor Chris Christie join us right now. If you believe this is an isolated, a reflection on our policies not only afghanistan and what sense . They are all connected. When you show weakness, show appeasement anywhere, it invites terrorists to act anywhere so when we pull out of afghanistan and lets the fellowman get back into power, what happens . The taliban today is now asking iraq, iran and jordan to go across their land so they can fight israel and jerusalem. The taliban city is the in place but joe biden permitted that to happen. Then you go next to what you see and ukraine because we are wrestling over regular aid or not crimea was taken and whats happening now . Joe biden not giving them everything they need to win the war, they see weakness and joe biden negotiating with iranians, negotiating and ultimately wanting to negotiate a deal on the Nuclear Issue that that authorizing the 6 billion release showing signs of weakness as well so they authorized hamas to test this in israel. They are all connected. Appeasement and isolation does not work for keeping the world safe and makes the world chaotic and dangerous. We used to know about. Maximum pressure on iran is what made israel feel safe and Abraham Accords. As soon as we condemned saudi arabia less than a perfect nation, i get it but ran primarily our enemy, who begin to open up a hornets nest in the middle east allowing them to buy oil and produce oil and sell it at 3 Million Barrels a day instead of 400,000 or less barrels of oil at 85 a barrel, that fuels this terror so. Of course it does. Of course theres no country up there thats perfect, not one is perfect but governing and leading is about choosing and the fact is the worst in the world right now are iranians, north koreans, russians and chinese and they are all brought together into smaller that actors like afghanistan and the taliban and hamas and hezbollah to get into the fight and gives them courage, muscles because we are not doing what need to do and it doesnt help when we are divided as a country ourselves. We need to america leading the world and in terms it means sacrifice but the sacrifice we are seeing is tragic and unacceptable, the sacrifice and ukraine tragic and unacceptable and america better make sure because his continued weakness by both parties will lead to it. You gave a strong statement in support the nation, what would you like to see tomorrow or the next day or later tonight . What i would like to see is something we cant do because we dont have a speaker of the house. The president should ask congress to come back into session monday and vote for whatever aid israel needs to make sure they win this war and when it completely and quickly but because we have eight republicans teams with all the democrats to kick out the speaker of the house, we dont have a member of House Leadership could be appropriately briefed on the intel. We do have a house that can come back to work because they are playing politics deciding whos going to be there next leader in the middle of a crisis so thats what i like to see but democrats decided to team with eight republicans to kick Kevin Mccarthy out of office and because they decided to lay political games to get more online contributions for guys like matt gaetz and Matt Rosendale today we cannot effectively respond completely respond. The president should be tougher and should have said to the democrats stop playing politics, lets get to work. Thanks so much, appreciate have a great night. Very trying time for america and allies. Straight ahead, as Chris Christie mentioned, the house does not have a speaker. Well talk to senator Lindsey Graham on the senate side about how house chaos is affecting this country. Dont move.

Hamas will pay a price, declaration by israels Benjamin Netanyahu and youre looking at them right now. A devastating Surprise Attack the Prime Minister acting, acting as the final arbiter declaring to its citizens we are at work and theres no doubt. The involving conflict is both sides are exchanging volley after volley of Missile Strikes from his israel on the offense of. Medicine ring and senator Lindsey Graham. Your response to what youve seen all day and what america should be doing knowing has blocked could make this a two front war. From think we should be united got home like israel is united that. Democrats and republicans stand behind israel. Israel will have to go on the ground in gaza, theres no way to do this from the so they have to control room, pop your mike, get out of my ear, put senator Lindsey Graham in, go ahead, sorry. Thats the russians spring with us. Anyway, i expect israel will have to go and to god, this will be an air campaign, it will be on the ground to rescue hostages dismantle hamas. I worry about hezbollah which is a shiite territory closer to iran talking israel in a minute with 100,000 markets from the south so that on the phone all day and i have told allies and people with connections with two around. What i would do is tell around if hezbollah attack israel, we are going to come after you, iranians and have coordinated effort in israel to put iran out of the old business by destroying refineries. For major refineries and iran and hezbollah would make a run. You would say if this happens this would be the response but is that your recommendation to austin for two biden . They can do it quietly. Ive done it quietly and now publicly. What im worried is a chlorinated effort has blocked and hamas to try to destroy israel. This 100,000 mock rockets in lebanon owned by has the law zero minus by a man that could overwhelm iron dome. You hold the source of the problem accountable and i would let him know unequivocally if this war escalates coming to around iran. You know so much about intelligence, your sources with israel and Mutual Respect between you and the leaders of the country is well known, have you thought to yourself how this could have happened . A sophisticated or knitted attack devastating and brutal could take place in israel against israel . Its major intelligence and we got to look at our own intelligence. 9 11 happened, the world went wild, there are a lot of things we dont get before it happens but israel has been in a constant state of conflict and im surprised they were able to be this successful coming across the border but instead of assigning blame, lets get it right. I expect israel to go underground in gaza and it will be a fight. There is no time limit on this operation, no pulling israel back to my israeli friends and do whatever you have to as long as you have to do it to iran. If this escalates with hezb hezbollah, will come after you. Nbs is not said anything, saudi arabia has not said anything positive and blame israel for this. Qatar blames israel for this. Has been on the phone with our friends, saudi arabia statement was unacceptable. Israel is not responsible for this. Hamas is a terrorist organization, iranians are religious nazis who want to destroy the jewish and frankly get rid of islam as well. Im disappointed in saudi arabia and the statement was awful. There is nothing justified here, israel is the victim of a Terrorist Attack and they have the right to respond accor accordingly. Thank you. We move ahead, most sending dozens of fighters, its going to be block by Block Urban Fighting in the gaza strip, israelis did not want to and decided not to in the past. A man who knows all too much. And kennedy, retired sniper. Tim, great to see you again. What is it going to be like as israel mobilized their entire nation goes right to help steve and gaza. You said it right, it help. The most horrific fighting and fighting we will have to do is against an enemy that respects life in no way shape or form, they will use humans, civilians as handbags and fighting out of civilian positions. Doortodoor fighting is truly the worst type you can do doing it with neighbors you live peacefully with for a long time but now used as leverage. Every time a civilian dies is propaganda for hamas, a winwin for them to fight this kind of fight. Israel is trying so hard to not be in this fight for this reason and its the fight hamas wants. What you think in years past they decided not to go walk by block and why do you think this time will be different . This attack was an entire different level of complexity. Clearly it was strategic, rehearsed and executed it at a high level. This was funded. I believe by even though nonstate actors, there were state actors funding and supported an operation like this we will see thousands of rockets in coordination. They are specifically capturing and making hostages of political opponents. Now israel has no choice, they didnt want a fight like this. Hamas push it to a limit where there is no other response but to go door by door having thought insurgencies for 20 years, americans know firsthand and iraq, falluja afghanistan throughout the entire country Finding Insurgencies is the last couple fight you want but we have to do it doortodoor if israel will send chance here. These wars, unbelievable the way something would happen with these ieds and iraq and Vice A Versa It Looks like Military Operations using drones or used by hamas against israeli takes, does that surprise you . Not surprising they are using the worst tactics we have seen from enemies to include isis and the taliban. The taliban asked if they have permission to cross through sovereign nations so they could join the fight so we see hezbollah taliban and hamas, i do not believe this is the beginning or the end of the attack, its the beginning. Similarly i dont think israel anything sides stopping the bleeding. They have to respond decisively and then yahoo said it, its not a little fight, this is war. An act of war against them they have to treat it accordingly into the worst kind of fighting which is doortodoor fighting against people using civilians against them. Am i wrong to think about our border and the millions that have come through and how little we know about them and the ones who got away and the ones on the Terror Watch List we know about, should we be concerned what could happen about the people who have come here the last three years . Hit the nail in the head there. We are in a dangerous situation. Internationally. Every order that has had open borders right now is it portable. Every single one of these cells, they feel empowered and invigorated. We let thousands, maybe Tens Of Thousands of active Terrorist Cells through our southern and northern borders, its not just the southern border. I can tell you firsthand a bit of the border for months and months, its people going through the people you see are not mexicans trying to find a better life, we are all immigrants. What we see is military ages making their way into our country and doing so for the past three years. I think their position now start doing an attack if we try to support israel for example, this war will drift those extremist groups. About 40 seconds, do you think this administration understands that . I dont. Ukraine, the withdraw of afghanistan now insurgency kicked off a war inside of israel, we have been too passive internationally and our own borders allowing and showing weakness and violent extremist organizations do not support or sponsor anything besides strength. We have not shown strength and now have to deal with the consequences of that. Bison act afghanistan, helping us here tonight, thank you. This is a Special Edition of one nation, thank you for watching. Another hour on one nation after another hour on one nation after this will
