Detecting rockets fired from syria. Bret israeli jets hitting hamas targets softening the battlefield paving the way for ground forces. Meanwhile as weve been telling you at least 14 americans dead and they dont know, at least another 20 considered missing. Some of them possibly held hostage in gaza. There is no more electricity in gaza. The only power plant there running out of fuel. They have also cut off electricity and water. The israelis have. And as the u. S. S. Gerald ford Carrier Strike force arrives in the region iranian backed militia in iraq is threatening to attack american bases in retaliation if the u. S. Intervenes in the war between hamas and israel. Dana the latest this hour. Starting with mike tobin live on the ground in the war zone. Good morning, mike. What you see behind me off in the distance is the gaza strip itself. You may be able to hear israeli jets overhead. They are constant. The pounding of the gaza strip is constant. To the North And South of me israeli troops are massing. Israeli armor is at the ready for an imminent ground offensive. Netanyahu met with the Security Cabinet last night. If they gave the go ahead for the Ground Invasion it hasnt begun to execute at this point. We do know with the israeli soldier. They are trying to create as many scenes of carnage as they could and generate sympathy. In the gaza strip itself the air campaign has been relentless. Gaza city has been subject to withering strikes from the air. The hamas fighters have all gone into hiding according to my contact and dug into the tunnels that hamas has spent years and years digging underneath gaza city and gaza strip. He says the air campaign has been ineffective in terms of Killing Hamas fighters as we know there have been a great number of civilian casualties in the gaza strip. That was expected because gaza is so densely populated. Mostly what you see is the destruction of the infrastructure in gaza city. The quote i got from my contact is like the assassination of a city. You talk about power. Power and water have been cut off to the gaza strip. They do have an independent Power Generator but it runs on diesel. The best information we have is out of fuel or running out of fuel. Dana mike tobin on the scene. Thank you so much. Bret a daughterinlaw is missing believed to have been kidnapped by Hamas Terrorists. He joins us now. Thank you very much for being here. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the families separated. Tell us about your daughterinlaw. Well, first i would like to send a blessing to all the families in israel that lost their loved ones and with injuries. About my daughterinlaw, her name is selene. She went october 7th on saturday early in the morning at 4 00 in the morning with her friends to this concert in the south that actually she didnt reach this place. On the way there there was Attack Missiles and they just went from the car to look for shelter. And the last message that we get from her was at 7 20 in the morning that she is there is a lot of missiles and she is afraid to go to this concert and the soldiers were coming and it happened to be not the soldiers, it was the terrorists. And since that we didnt hear from her nothing. My son, he has the last position of the cell phone. He went to the place and he was exactly where she was talking and he saw the car with a lot of bullets, bullets around and he didnt see any blood inside but he see some dropped blood around the car and nothing. After that by the way, the other couple i think the cell phone was still on so the last place that we saw and know where they was close to the way to gaza. We believe they took her. Dana we have been showing pictures of your daughterinlaw. She also is a Breast Feeding mother. She has a 6monthold baby girl and she also needs to take medicine every day. She has a medical issue, thyroid that helps deal with her production of the breast milk. So the baby was not with her. No. Thank god. Dana so i wonder if you feel like you have heard enough from the Israeli Government. Do you feel like there is a plan in place to try to find her . Actually now we are in total silence. We dont know whats going on or have any piece of information. That is the problem. It is very hard to live with something that you dont know nothing about your loved one if she is alive, dead, who took her. There is not any information, any information. I know that yesterday my son was meeting with the president in israel, was meeting with all the families, but nothing. Nothing. We are still in the air. We dont know nothing about her. Bret weve been covering this nonstop. Whats the message here in the u. S. If you were to tell somebody whats happening . I came here just to raise the awareness that what has happened to my daughterinlaw and to remember her name that if someone sees her or have a witness or something, my son went to was also my son also was in the french channel tv talking about that. She is a french citizen so he try maybe the french government will find some information. They tries all the media and all the places that can bring some piece of information that we will be when you know something, if you know that somebody dead or alive or its okay you feel good but if you dont know nothing about that, this is crazy. Dana i think for the hostages, they might feel very alone. But when this comes to a conclusion when theyre saved and rescued they will know you, your fame lie and all families worked very hard. We are very worried. Gaza is a full siege. They dont have food or water and whatever. Of course the kidnapped are the same thing. I dont know whats going on with them. It is a hard thing. Bret it is very difficult and appreciate you coming on and telling you story. Wish you the best. Dana well keep her in our prayers. Joining us now is morgan ortega, founder of Polaris National security. One of the things we want to ask you about, morgan, help us understand the scope and scale of that barbarity. Yesterday it was reported there is a new channel called i24 news. They reported the Israeli Defense forces moved into kfar aza and discovered about 40 dead babies. Some were decapitated and that highlights the brutality of this invading force. Yeah, it is almost indescribable. Something that we want to look away from but i thank you for covering it, dana. Our audience needs to be reminded who were up against. We need to be reminded who we are up against. There is a conversation in the United States about whether these are palestinian Freedom Fighters or hamas militants. These are terrorists that are doing things that we havent seen since isis, right . Since they were in the height of their power and cutting heads off reporters. Hamas terrorists have even taken it to another level. Every day there is new reports of rapes, of murders. You are talking about terrorists going into Apartment Buildings and communities and not sparing women, not sparing children. I have saw an idf commander say it is important to note this is not a battlefield where you expect to see casualties and where you expect to see the atrocities of war. These are civilian Apartment Buildings, civilian towns where there was no mercy. Where people were burned alive in their cars. And i think it takes a special horrible monster to be able to kill children and babies indiscriminately. Bret you have served in the u. S. Military and Trump Administration and State Department. Here is Jake Sullivan about u. S. Forces potentially. Would you put American Forces on the ground to help out . At this point that is not something that is under planning. What we are focused on when we talk about sending experts, it is people who can work on intelligence. Who can work on overall planning and coordination with the Israeli Government. We are not currently sending forces to israel and ill leave it at that for now. Bret its a for now situation, morgan. There are american hostages on the ground and you have to think there is some coordination between the u. S. And israelis on that front. Certainly we have to do everything we can to get our americans home. I know that there is negotiation going on behind the scenes to try to get that done. We have capabilities that i wont Talk About On Air but that can be used to get americans home if we need to. Listen, the danger her, bret, of course, we know it could turn into a regional conflict very quickly. Were already seeing exchange of fire between Lebanese Hezbollah in the north and israel. It was reported that rockets came from syria overnight into the Golan Heights. Thats an area that just a year ago i a year ago in september i was standing on the Golan Heights looking at the area that under President Trump we recognized as israels sovereign territory and you can see how close iran and syria could get there. It is also important to remember iran not only funded, trained and equipped hamas who committed the Terrorist Attacks but similarly fund, train and equip hezbollah starting minor attacks from lebanon. Certainly anything coming from syria is also iranbacked. There are a few things this administration can do that doesnt involve putting troops on the ground. Start enforcing the sanctions that gave iran more in oil revenue. They havent been enforced for three years and it could take at least 80 billion off the table. Freeze that 6 billion in the escrow account. No reason why the iranians need to have access to those funds. Finally, in just about seven days there is another arms embargo against iran that expires at the u. N. One already expired the conventional arms ban a few years ago. In seven days Ballistic Missiles and suicide drones we see iran giving to russia and emotion employing on the battlefield in ukraine, the sanctions actually lift at the u. N. On Ballistic Missiles and suicide drones against iran. That needs to be put back into place today. Dana thank you so much. Coverage will continue here. Bret, earlier in the last hour you had a map that i want to put up here again. You could explain the u. S. S. Gerald ford left on saturday from its original position that we can show you here. By tuesday this thing was moving, right now it is in position. Bret it was south of cyprus and made the trek to just off gaza in the mediterranean sea. The Combat Capability is huge. The missile is a defensive thing in Case Missiles come at it. The projection a Carrier Group can give is overwhelming and sends a message when we move the biggest, baddest of our force, it sends a message were there. Dana were going to continue covering this especially of these movements. You dont send a Carrier Group just to park, i would imagine. Bret right. Meantime House Republicans voting now on who to recommend for speaker. We talked about this with Congressman Mast earlier. A vote on the house floor could happen as soon as this afternoon. Chad pergram is covering all this live from capitol hill. Good morning. Right now theyll vote by Secret Ballot for the republican conference selection for speaker of the house. I just spoke with one senior republican who doesnt think that anyone has the votes to win and they may sit in this meeting all day. Listen. I dont know that there will be a speaker tomorrow morning. Well find out. I think its 50 50 odds now. See where it goes. Very thin majority. The internal vote is expected to be razor close but many members promise to support whoever wins Behind Closed Doors on the floor. Even if that was not their preferred candidate. Centrist republicans who represent Battleground Districts could be the key to this race. Jim jordan faced an uphill climb because of his ties to the conservative caucus. But jordan changed his tune. Because of his passed it was not bad tonight. I thought it was pragmatic. I thought convincing that he would do his best to represent everybody and someone they could work with the democrats in the senate and democrat president. He did a great job. That said, some members are skeptical the house can resolve this quickly. It is about the math and even though someone may have the support of most republicans, that does not mean they have the votes to win on the house floor. Oh, chad, i have a sense that it will not be a clean vote. Whats the signal this is a mess . Something we should look for appeared something that happened. If you dont see white smoke by the afternoon, we have a mess. Here is what has to happen. You have to win an outright majority of the entire house. There are 433 members of the house, the magic number would be 217 for all members voting for a candidate by name. Bret. Bret Chad Pergram Live On capitol hill. In the midst of all of this, this is important because the house cant really operate. Its frozen until you get a speaker. Dana maybe the situation and this urgency will force some sort of action so they can get there and not drag it on too long. We shall see. Pay attention to it this week. Back to israel and one persons family was abducted and they burned down their home and i understand you have 11 members of your family who were kidnapped . Yes. Yes, my husbands family and i live in i wasnt in the area when it happened. I was in the desert so im here right now. Dana i want to be clear, that was not the same Music Festival where the massacre was, correct . A different one. Go on. A different one. So we werent at home but our family wasnt home. My husbands parents, his sister, her husband, two kids, 3yearold girl, an 8yearold boy. His cousin that is 12 years old and his aunt and another aunt and uncle. They were all at home. Both of their houses were completely burned down. And the morning of when everything started on saturday morning we were at a festival. We had a bit of contact with them. We were able to text a few messages. They were at home in the panic room and saying to us they were very scared, that they hear gunshots all over and terrorists speaking and shouting and they dont know if they will survive and get out of this. And then the other information that we have, the only information we have at the moment from the government or the army, is that some you can see the videos of the burned house. Someone was there. The house is completely burned down. There werent any bodies. Another piece of information that we got is from a friend who tried to calm times on saturday. At some point someone answered the phone with bad hebrew and he said they were kidnapped. This is information. We also know from their homes they are in the gaza strip. Besides that we dont have any information. We dont know what is happening. We are all devastated here. This is all were doing our whole life is focused on saving them, trying to create any context that we can. Part of that, the people that are kidnapped are italian, austrian, american, german, so it is not only israeli citizens. Were trying to use any contact to bring them home safely and get information. Dana and if that happens they will know you worked tirelessly to make it so. Im sorry for your heartache. Well stay in touch with you. Thank you. Thanks. Bret the u. S. Showing its support for israel as Israeli Forces wage allout war against hamas defending their homeland, fighting for the right to exist in the face of barbaric atrocities. It is not a battlefield.

Do you feel like were starting to get a better picture as to how this happened or is it a mystery . Bret the biggest mystery is the Intelligence Failure. How they didnt pick it up. But how physically it happened, it was very complex and complicated when you show the graphics earlier about the different waves of attacks to get over what they called the iron wall between gaza and israel. And to then go into these communities indiscriminately and take hostages as well as shooting these families. Dana as one of the earlier guests said when you watch the videos you can see Hamas Terrorists some of this they are doing with glee. They are using social media as part of the weapon, right . Either on their own phones or on the phones of their victims, which is tormenting their families who are waiting to find out what will happen as israel and perhaps other governments Work Together to try to rescue hostages that are being held. Bret news out of the Defense Department as we looked at that trek that the u. S. S. Gerald ford and Carrier Strike group has made to the place where they are now in the mediterranean off the coast of gaza and israel on the bottom. Were confirming the u. S. S. Dwight eisenhower will be heading to the earn mediterranean this week. It takes two weeks. They say it was previously scheduled not because of the war but sends another message with a strike group. F15s and 16s, the u. S. Air force moving into the region from the u. S. Central command. The arrival of the forces to the region is a strong signal of deterrents should any Actor Hostile to israel try to take advantage of this situation. No plans to put boots on the ground according to the State Department and Jake Sullivan. However, there is a lot of u. S. Movement of material, forces, and power. Dana as we were saying before they dont go there to sit in the ocean and hang out. Joey jones is a retired marine corps bomb technician. Youve been covering this closely. The Dwight Eisenhower is now headed there as well. My nephew is on a Carrier Group supposed to leave yesterday and they were waiting for orders. So they are supposedly leaving today. Their destination will be off the coast of israel or taiwan. Thats the situation we find ourselves in as americans now. Were supplying the war on one front and hoping not to have to fight another war on another front. Dana one of the things we woke up to today is on day five is again realizing that the longer this goes, the harder it is to solve especially with hostages and the possibility that you are looking at urban combat in a very difficult situation where you have high rises that could have been boobytrapped on every level. Tunnels underneath that are crisscrossing and im just wondering what you think about the possibility of trying to go in and rescue those hostages and how complex this is going to be. The most sophisticated hostage rescue team, Tactical Team in the world would be scared to go in there. When i say scared i dont mean they dont have the bravery or courage would know the idea they would make it successfully to their target is very low. The best way i can explain this is when you look at the battle scene right now in the areas where the buildings have been toppled that looks like a concrete normandy. The enemy has the high ground in every direction you turn not to mention they have tunnels and the opportunity to have the advantage underneath your feet. I dont know enough about how hamas is armed. They are using missiles and reaching targets they didnt know they could reach until this operation. I think the success of going in there has everything to do with how well they plan. Time doesnt work on their side but time is necessary. If they go in without a good plan or intelligence they walk in a hornets less. If they wait too long hamas can get organized. The Battlefield Commanders that organize the ground insurgeony they do, they will make or break their career on this. They will either put the world in shock to do it successfully or they will deal with losing a lot of men. Bret Seal Team Six has been mobilized or sent to the region. Centcom saying that isnt a fact. Special operators are on the ground in israel as part of their jobs at the embassy for support unit to unit. The specific Seal Team Six reference they wanted to clarify. I do want to talk about what you just mentioned in that that kind of fighting, going into a place like gaza takes a lot of intelligence to be able to do that and after what we saw with the Intelligence Failure at the start of this, that has to be a concern right now about what we know and what we dont know about hamas and whether they may be trying to draw in the u. S. To have some more regional explosion of a major battle with the u. S. And israel. There is two objectives right now. One is solely israels, the other may include the u. S. The first objective israel has stated their goal at the end of what they call a war is to basically eradicate hamas, remove the threat forever. The other goal is we have hostages. We believe there are up to 20 americans held hostage. Over 100 hostages total. How do you rescue those hostages . To be honest with you. I was not a special operator but a Critical Skills operator. I supported all types of operations. In my understanding and training i dont know how you get the intelligence to get close enough to the hostages to rescue them alive and knowing hamas. They will kill 100 hostages before we can open the door. Thats a problem. Then you look back at diplomacy. Israel may not have much appetite for diplomacy now considering a big swath of their country was ravaged. So thats a u. S. Israel Tension that may exist. Our administration, especially the Biden Administration will send u. S. Troops in as a very last case scenario. Israel has a blood thirst not just for revenge but to make sure it never happens again. Very understandable. Those two things could work against each other. If im Benjamin Netanyahu i would say those hostages are pretty much as good as dead no matter what we do. I will go in and eradicate hamas. A tough decision to make. Dont get me wrong. Im not saying thats what he should do. That may be where he have is. President bidens priority should be the 20 americans. As a united front there are a lot of conversations going on now about what both the u. S. And israel want to happen next. Dana one last question. You fought in a war that was ideological. This is ideological struggle between good and evil and when you are in a situation like this, the Hamas Terrorists did not attack soldiers. They attacked innocent civilians. When you are dealing with an enemy like that, how do you get your mind in a place where of course you would want to get the maximum pain possible. When a man is building to die to hurt you. I was defending myself and trying to get out of. Something along the lines of what happened in afghanistan for the last ten years. We didnt have hatred in our heart for the taliban. We didnt want them to attack us anymore. Israel doesnt have that problem anymore and hamas never had that problem. It leads to the bloodyness of this war may be worse than what we can imagine because you have two sides that truly, truly want to exact death and with israel for good reason in my opinion at this point. I dont mean on civilians but on fighters. So when you had a posture in israel of we dont want you to attack us anymore and now its oh, you attacked us and killed our most vulnerable. Thats a different mindset going into gaza. And as far as the ideology, if the people in gaza are sitting there going life is not great right now but heaven will be. If i die Righteously Heaven will be even better, it is hard to fight that. Really hard to fight that. Bret well be covering it. Dana great to have you, thank you. Israeli Defense Forces are on the attack switching tactics for an allout ground war. We have a former spokesperson for president netanyahu. Tell us what is on your mind today and what we should know. First of all, i want to say thank you to the United States of america, the president , to the congress, at a time like this where israel is hurting, where weve taken very severe blows and been at the receiving end of horrors and brutality in the isis style where we have lost so many people and others have been taken hostage, it is nice to know and comforting to know that america is our friend, is our ally and partner and it is very, very appreciated here in israel. Bret describe if you could, ambassador, what it is like on the ground. Weve been talking to a lot of families who are separated and they believe hostages inside gaza. A lot of families who have lost already and now your death toll is up to 1200. Talk to us about what it feels like inside the country. It is very difficult. It is unprecedented. We have never lost so many people on a single day. And we never, ever witnessed firsthand this isis brutality which i dont need to describe again because you have been reporting that on fox very much. But this sort of brutality against children, against the elderly, its just for us this has been a very strong blow. And it is difficult. It is difficult for all israelis. And now my own daughter has been called up for her service. My friends children have been called up and there will be a battle. And we know as the United States knows, no Combat Situation is free of casualties and we all, of course fear for our loved ones but we know this has to be done. We cannot sit by and let the Current Situation continue. The status quo is unsustainable. Hamas proved that on saturday morning and we will now take action to change the realities on the ground. When this is over, we didnt want this war. We didnt start this war. But they have attacked us and it will finish on our terms. Dana when you look ahead, ambassador, how long do you think that will take . I cant give you a figure. I dont think anyone can give you a figure because Military Operations have a dynamic of their own as someone who served himself in the military, i know that. And i think we have to presume from israels perspective it will be long and hard. I dont think there is a quick fix here but we have to do what needs to be done. I said to a friend its very easy to find an aspirin solution, a temporary solution, a quick fix where some people in the u. N. Are calling for immediate ceasefire. They can kill our people and everyone stop shooting. No, well be back to square one. Hamas will attack us next month or the month after that or in half a year. No, thats not acceptable. We need a fundamental change in the reality and thats what we are seeking and what our military is about to do. Bret we appreciate your time and continue to cover all elements of this. Thank you. Dana thank you, sir. Thanks for having me. Dana growing calls to hold iran accountable after they reportedly gave hamas The Green Light for its attacks. Martha maccallum is coming right up.

Bret israelis holding their breath as a threefront war could break out over the holy land. A lot happening really minute by minute. Lets check back in with mike tobin. Mike. Well, bret, a short time ago there was fresh gunfire on the israeli side of the border. This is just a small town in the northern end of the gaza strip and the information were getting from the idf. This is one of the hold overs from the original attack. Three of them. Hamas terrorists who somehow tucked in and hid in the area. They popped up. There was a gun battle and the information we have from the Israeli Defense force is that all three of them were killed in a little beach town to the northern end of the gaza strip. To the north of where i am right now about 3 4 of the way up the gaza strip into the south of where i am you have israeli armor and israeli infantry Massing Waiting for orders to begin an imminent Ground Invasion. One of the things the israeli shoulders understand the complexity of this battle theyre drawn into. Hamas knows it is not going to win the war. It is trying to win a pr war and placing its citizens in places where they are shooting rockets out of in order for israel to defend itself and casualties to go up. Hamas wants to increase casualties to win a pr war and we need to be aware of that. The air campaign into the gaza strip is really unprecedented in terms of just volume and intensity at the Israeli Air Force is bringing. Punishing the city of gaza itself. I have a gaza contact i was able to reach today. He says the hamas fighters have all hidden. They have gone underground presumably in the network of tunnels they have spent years building. He says the air strikes have not been effective in terms of Killing Hamas personnel. What it has been effective in doing is destroying infrastructure. He said its like they are executing and executing the city itself. Also a big Political Development on the israeli side of the border. Benjamin netanyahu and bennie gants are forming the unity government in this emergency. They have been bitter political rivals. Also a part of this bitter political fight. They have left a seat open for la pete to join the cabinet but israelis are moving forward politically that should help them trouble shoot opposition in the Israeli Government as they move this emergency state. Bret mike, thank you. Dana Martha Maccallum joins us now and the story continues and gets bigger and more complex. One of the things is the question about the 6 billion that was provided, supposed to be for humanitarian purposes for the iranians. This is Jake Sullivan, the president S National Security advisor and Jacque Heinrich yesterday. We have not yet had a dollar of that 6 billion spent and i will leave it at that. But will you refreeze it based on this activity that you just laid out all of the ways that they are complicit in this . Let me reiterate what i said. It is unequivocal. Not a dollar of that money has been spent and i will leave you at that. It is such a strange way to approach this whole issue. When they first made the deal. It was five american hostages for five iranian hostages and then we threw on top of that, which looks like an even steven deal this 6 billion that was iranian money frozen in south korean banks. The deal was it was transferred to a qatar bank and drawn down to use for humanitarian. At this moment when it was announced. Of course, this is all contingent upon relationships and events. Seems as if it should be the easiest thing in the world for sullivan and the president to say of course this money is under scrutiny and well refreeze it if we draw this direct link which everybody but the white house appears to be able to draw at this point. So it is very curious why they are so i dont know if timid is the right word but careful certainly is about even speaking the name of the country of iran when it comes to whats going on in israel. Dana thats been an interesting thing. You are getting the administration, through some Anonymous Sources and some not to anonymous saying guys, we dont see a link to iran in this but then you have the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal with on the record sources saying that iran was helping. Very confusing. When you look at what were learning now about this operation, they breached several parts of the iron wall. They had para gliders trained to go over. Everyone knows iran has been funding hamas. It is almost like a question of Money Fungiability and military training. The money has flowed from iran. Iran is 100 supportive of this effort. They want to eradicate israel off the map and it helps this. Very interesting how careful they are being and the president didnt iran in that discussion yesterday and why they havent said immediately of course well refreeze these funds and well talk about it in a few days. Thats the initial move. Bret well see if that happens. Telling people how close this is in israel and i traveled to israel recently. The size of new jersey, your home state. And they are now giving 10,000 rifles to hundreds of communities in addition to 4,000 rifles theyve already passed out. They are it is so tight there right along the gaza strip and these communities right outside it is tough to get our head around what it looks like. Such a good point. Its one of the things that strikes you more than anything else when you are there and you have been there many times, both of you.

It is a disgrace and the president of Harvard UniversityCannot Come Out and say so publicly is similarly appalling. Bret you say the students, some dont feel safe. Absolutely. Im a jewish student at Harvard University. I now know that if tonight while im eating dinner a hamas operative comes in and hack me to death and kidnap my wife there would be classmates of mine. They would stand up and justify this and excuse it and say i deserve it for being on the side of colonizeers. Now i have to ask myself am i safe on the harvard campus . Is any jew safe when they know hundreds of people on their campus would excuse and some cases celebrate their murder . Bret we appreciate your point of view. Thank you.
