Gaza. Minutes ago another strike hitting the area. Secretary of state Antony Blinken arriving in jerusalem again and arriving at the president ial palace as the war in israel enters its ninth day. Lawrence thats right, brian. More explosions rocking gaza this morning as the Israeli Military prepares for a full invasion after the hamas attack last weekend. Ainsley palestinians gathered near the Rafah Crossing hoping to make it over into egypt before the idf launches a Ground Invasion of the strip. Israel announcing Evacuation Plans for its own residents urging 28 communities to leave the region near the lebanon border. Steve thats right. Because of the shooting back and forth there. Now lets get to trey yingst who is live on the ground in Southern Israel where it is 1 00 in the afternoon. All right, trey, what is the very latest . We heard yesterday that ourselves said that it sounds like that gate would be open but here we are 1 00 in the afternoon that gate to israel still closed. Trey yeah, absolutely. Good morning, guys. There was a lot of buzz this morning about a possible ceasefire in the Southern Port Of Gaza to allow for the exit of foreign nationals and entry of aid. So far that has not taken place. In the distance you can hear the buzz of an israeli drone. There has been more rocket fire today toward central israel. And even once Secretary Of State Antony Blinken hamas fired a medium range rocket toward the city of tel aviv and we understand it landed in the sea. I do want to show you the city behind me here Southern City of sderot. Here is a car that came across arab israeli who was shots when hamas militants entered this area last weekend. Gives you idea how indiscriminate they were. New video of go profootage recovered by the Israeli Military. And it shows how hamas entered and fired on these communities. They used motorcycles and Pickup Trucks and able to take hostages with them back into the gaza strip. Now, we are learning today from the israelis a new number about the hostages that were taken. Israeli Officials Say 199 families have been notified that their loved ones are being held inside gaza. This is a Significant Development in yet another stoobleg for the israelis and The Americans as they try to figure out a path forward in all of this. Now while all of this is taking place gazaens head south. We have seen the images. Got a text from someone in gaza city and they provided a video on their phone showing people walking. Traffic jams heading south. People have gotten out of their cars and started to walk. They understand this Ground Invasion is in the near future and they have to get to a safer location. We want to take your attention to the northern border with lebanon there has been a significant escalation. We should call it, with the Lebanese Militant Group hezbollah. Yesterday, five antitank guided missiles were fired into israeli territory. The israelis spent the night responding striking targets across Southern Lebanon and even faced rocket fire from hezbollah. So its a Significant Development and something that certainly could be of concern. Its part of the reason the israelis this morning have announced they were evacuating 28 communities along the border with lebanon. They are worried that hezbollahs very close to getting fully involved in this fight. Guys, back to you. Lawrence you know, trey, im very curious because there was from the Palestinian Authority, the president condemned some of the things that hamas did. So, im just curious if is there an uprising there to overthrow the leadership in the Hamas Organization now that were pretty much almost at war now . Yeah. And i mean, we should look at the differences in palestinians between the gaza strip, East Jerusalems a the west bank. When you speak with palestinians at all three of those locations they will give you a different answer about what took place last weekend. For many in gaza they have lived under a blockade for years. And they have seen the fence. They have seen the administrations along the border. The constant rounds of rocket fire that have taken place. We have covered them here for the past several years. When you talk to palestinian notice west banks and East Jerusalem. Many of them are not members of the hamas Political Party there. They are members of fattah, the organization that actually controls the west bank with palestinian president mahmoud abbas. So, they start to see what happened here, and they understand this was a massacre against civilians and it really damages the palestinian cause. And the efforts by palestinians in the past. And these conversations taking place when we step back from all of this was saudi arabia to discuss not only aid but even a possible state for the Palestinian People. All of that is sort of off the table right now. There is a focus to understand what comes next in this situation. Also, grasping the fact that the west bank could ignite. Tensions are boiling. We have seen demonstrations and clashes and refugee clashes in the west bank. Israeli forces operating there we know there are hamas and Islamic Jihad militants operate in the west bank. They are armed. They have ammunition. They are willing to fire on israeli communities. Its not just Southern Israel where the focus is. And especially for the Palestinian People they are waiting to see what comes next. Steve trey, it sounds like the president of the United States is weighing going to the region of the Prime Minister of israel invited him on saturday during a phone call. Obviously, they are worried about security. And this all comes down to the timing of when the Ground Invasion is going to start. You would think it wouldnt be tomorrow because the chancellor of germany is going to be in the region tomorrow. And if joe biden came later this week, you would think that it would not be during a Ground Invasion. Trey yeah. Absolutely. Look, with all these stories that we cover, i try to think what dont we know . There is a lot of information we dont know. A lot of conversations are taking place behind the scenes. There is american hostages involved. 30 americans were killed in this massacre of civilians and soldiers here in Southern Israel. And so, there are clearly some conversations taking place as it relates to the hostages but also as it relates to aid. Remember, there are two key negotiators in all of this. Its not the United States and not israel. We are talk about the qatarys and egyptians. Traditionally these two players used Toe Mediate Deals and try O Get Hostages released in the past, right . Gilad there have been situations in the much smaller scale in the past hamas had the bodies or even live soldiers inside the gaza strip. Not guilty on this scale of nearly 200 people. So its a totally new realm to be negotiating in. And The Americans are certainly going to be urging the israelis if there is any possible path forward to try to get some of those hostages out alive before the Ground Invasion to do it. The timing here is critical. Ainsley trey, is it true that inside the gaza strip the northern part, we have been telling them or israel has been telling them to evacuate to head south, that they have been stealing car keys and equipment so that the individuals who live there who want to get out are not able to . Yeah, so you saw our reporting as it related to airstrikes. We were told that gazaens tried to leave their homes after being warned about an israeli airstrike in the near future that hamas was not letting them leave. Well, over the weekend we received some Satellite Images drone images gave us specific detail that the Military Claims Hamas Set Up Road Brocks making it difficult for people to head south. Saw this video of the convoy over the weekend that was Hit Inside Gaza there are mixed reports on what happened here whether it was israeli strike or whether hamas actually blew up the convoy, but what is critical here and what we do know is people are getting out of their cars because it is so difficult to head south and starting to walk. I just received that image and a few videos from that source inside gaza. And he is showing elderly people being carried by their loved ones. They have just one bag each and walking south. They are trying to get to wasi gaza which dorance late to the gaza valley. The middle part of the gaza strip north of the gazas second largest city. They are told they will be safe in this location. With so many people heading this direction, it does bring up issue of humanitarian aid. Thats passionate of the reason thats in the conversation and negotiation. Because you have got now the majority of the gazan population in the southern part of the gaza strip. Theyre going to need aid and food and water. Brian watch on the other side of the screen, trey, we think our u. S. Citizens mixed in there trying to get out of gaza, trying to get into egypt. We will see if that gate actually opens. Thats going to be something negotiated along the way. Lets see if they can get to that gate. Thats going to be the pearlless point. When they talk about taking out hamas. I see a list of six higher ups they have already killed. Do you believe its correct to call hamas an ideology, not an organization that, even if you kill all the higher ups, everybody responsible, even the ones wearing hair gel in qatar right now that it still doesnt matter that the ideology is so prevalent throughout the Palestinian Movement . Trey yeah. Without getting too deep into the Muslim Brotherhood history that ultimately created hamas and the organization that exists today, the big challenge here is the ideology, right . To have an organization that is willing to come into a Small Community and slaughter women and children while they rest in their homes, it is an enemy that israel is facing that is hard to really wrap your mind around what they are capable of doing. What is really critical to talk about here i think is going back to the west bank. The new numbers we have this morning, the israelis have arrested. Since all of this kicked off last weekend with this massacre, the israelis have arrested more than 300 palestinians in the west bank. More than 200 of them are members of hamas. This is really really important. Because, what we have seen here and this ideology that we talk about from the gaza strip is spread also throughout East Jerusalem and the west bank very, very close to israeli communities. Places where we are normally reporting from our bureau you could walk to, you could drive to very easily. So, when we talk about this ideology and the political influence, its critical to talk about the militants in the west bank, too. Because there are settlements throughout the west bank with israeli civilians. I spoke last night with a few u. S. Retired military operatives. And they said they came here to israel and they are helping some of those communities to defend themselves because, remember, many of the men who would normally be defending those communities, who have the military experience, they are now here in the south preparing to enter the gaza strip. So many of those communities are quite vulnerable and we know that there are hamas militants in that area and ideology remains. They could certainly fire in those different locations if they decided to. Steve yeah. Trey, before you go. Screen right, we are looking at that go pro video that you said that fox has obtained. It shows the bad guys and there they are going up to somebodys house. We dont know what they did with the family but there they are using a box cutter to get into the screen. Is hamas showing this kind of stuff to show the precision with which they carried out these raids or whats the purpose in releasing this . So some of the video has been recovered by the Israeli Military. Yesterday we went and saw a lot of the weapons that they recovered as well. And they had body cameras. They were wearing go pros when they committed these attacks and assaults against israeli civilians. But in terms of hamas, they are using a lot of this as propaganda. Learning more information each and every day about the planning that went into this. And it is significant and widespread. Many of the fighters and we saw them along the sides of the roads as we were driving here in Southern Israel in different cars that they had taken over and the israelis fired or the cars and just the bodies of militants along the sides of the roads. They have with them pieces of paper. We have seen this throughout the reporting and israeli media of different phrases in hebrew that are Translit Rated to arabic. So they are able to say these horrific words to israelis when they held them hostage and when they kidnapped them things like saying come with me. We will kill your family. Stay in the room. Things like this on a piece of paper so that they could say this. Additionally, they had maps of all of Southern Israel. And they were numbered. And so they knew there were certain squad drants of militants and terrorists go to one community and slaughter as many as they could and some of the video its horrific. You hear them speaking in arabic and saying to each other dont kill so many people. We need to take hostages. It just it cuts right through all of this. Because it shows this was a coordinated effort to i object s much terror on Southern Israel and kill as many civilians as they could. Brian trey, you probably dont know, this there are some protests when people like Lawrence Go Out to interview they said it didnt happen. Hamas not only says it happened. They are bragging about it, recording it and putting it on social media. Thats how ignorant some of these protests are in america, in spain, in the u. K. And around the world. Trey if i could, just for a moment, for those who say that this didnt happen, we had evidence that it happened. Our cameras went to these communities. We saw the bodies. I can show you on my cell phone the geo located videos and photos of corpses in the neighborhoods that were peaceful. And that is part of why it is so critical that we are here to tell these stories because people are trying to say that it didnt happen. And when you speak with israelis, there is a generational trauma they have experienced from the holocaust of people trying to say the holocaust didnt happen. And now the biggest slaughter of jews since the holocaust, there are already people in the streets of the United States trying to say this didnt take place. If you are listening, it took place. We have the evidence. And it is real. And dont look away. Ainsley trey, thank you so much. On the righthand side of your screen you were looking at that gate that separates gaza from egypt. They are waiting there. I was expecting masses of people. But it looks like in that video, you know, maybe a hundred . Brian yeah. Lawrence or more. Brian thats the only shot we have to see it. Those are the lucky ones that at least got there and we know they are not going to get bombed there we told them to go to the south. And just do build on treys point. Not only are people saying immediately it didnt happen really as bad. So what . Whats the big deal . Thats what those people are seeing here and critics. They are trying to dial it back and tell israel take it easy. Wait a little while. I dont know if its the u. S. That says wait a little while. They originally said give them a couple of days and since denied that then over the weekend we hear oh, the bad weather. Thats why they are not doing the invasion. The weather didnt seem too bad. Looks fine now. Im wondering if politics is already getting in the way of the invasion. Lawrence brian, this is what we talked about last week being cautious, right . That you have the world rallying around israel at one point, but the moment they started shelling and there was going to be some civilian loss, what would be the political ramifications surrounding that. We are expecting a press conference with the with the president of the United States as well as Benjamin Netanyahu hoping to get insight on what the u. S. Is doing. If you want to donate to the cause join Fox Corporation supporting israel in association with the jewish unite the appeal. Donate at uja fed ny. Org. Steve they need the money. Ainsley yeah, they do. So sad to see images and hear stories. Im sure you were talking about it all weekend with family and friends. Devastating. Steve awful. Brian fastmoving so dont miss a minute.

Fbi director Christopher Wray is now warning americans to stay vigilant for possible Terror Threats here at home. Lawrence so, ainsley, wray fears that hamas Copycat Attack could say happen on u. S. Soil. National security concerns rise at our Southern Border. Steve thats because our Border Patrol agents have announced that four iranians here illegally have been apprehended in texas just in the last month. Brian Alexandria Hoff is live at the white house with more. Alex . Hey, im here at the Washington Bureau right now. I want to comment because you guys were talking to trey about the idea of Hamas Being Ideology and you dont have to train with Hamas Terrorists to think like them. Thats the message coming out from the fbi. We should not discount the possibility that hamas or other stairs Organization Also take advantage of the conflict to call on supporters to carry out attack in the United States. The bureaus biggest concern is a solo assailant. We have got to be on the lookout, especially for lone actors take inspiration from recent events to commit violence of their own. This, of course, has sparked increased concern over the philosophy migrants at our Southern Border according to u. S. Customs and Border Protection four iranians have been apprehended since the beginning of this month. That is four. All considered to be Special Interest Aliens, term to describe individuals coming from other countries having conditions that promote or protect terrorisms. Individuals may have suspicious travel patterns. In the last 1 days of this fiscal year over 30 iranians were apprehended at the Southern Border. 60 syrians, 35 pakistanis, 100 russians, 295 afghans and nearly 2,000 chinese migrants. Over the past two years, u. S. Border patrol has encountered almost 73,000 Special Interest Aliens, many of them from middle Eastern Countries and just last week cbp agents apprehended two lebanese nationals in texas also considered to be Special Interest Aliens. Home to hezbollah. Guys . Steve thats all scary. Ainsley there are these two lawmakers, two congressman In Washington that are trying to pass that legislation so that we dont allow anyone from gaza any of the palestinian authorities to enter into our country. Where does that stand . Do you know . Steve the gaza act. Thats interesting. I was reading about that while at the white house yesterday. Getting pushback from people. The idea is you have Special Interest Aliens as we were just talking about, not all of them are people who adhere to the same beliefs as their government. Many are seeking refugee refuge in the United States. Wanting to distance themselves. So its going to get a lot of pushback. Its making waves because people in the United States are scared. Brian alex, thanks so much. Ron desantis is leading the charge among the candidates. One of his point they might not all be hamas but they are antimet particular. Its not the time to take any chances. Its a little bit different with afghanistan. We were there for 20 years and you have all these. Lawrence allies. Brian allies but all these examples of them showing loyalty in the past whether they are interpreters. Whether they actually fought with us. The type of positions they had with the government that was ousted because we left. But thats a lot different from now. Im on the ron desantis camp. Steve we will have more news from the region in a bit. But, right now, carley joins us with other news. Right . Carley i certainly do. We do have quick headlines to get to hang today. House g. O. P.

Ainsley this is a fox news alert. Minutes ago another Rocket Strike hitting gaza as Israeli Forces prepare a Ground Invasion. And across the globe, thousands of propalestinian protesters have been filling the streets from seattle to new york to london and College Campuses across the u. S. Whats behind this antiisrael sentiment . Here to react is muslim scholar dr. Qhanta ahmed, good morning to you dr. Ahmed. Good Morning Ainsley thanks for having me. Ainsley thank you for coming on. Explain what is behind us. Palestinian suffering is resonating deeply in the muslim world. People in democracies have the right to protest. What im concerned about is many of these protests are Lending Legitimacy to hamas because some of them openly claim to support hamas. Some of the protests contain symbols of antisemitism such as swastikas. Some of them have terrible expressions from the river to the sea classic antimet particular phrase meaning palestine will reclaim all of the Land Of Israel and indicating erasure of israel. This is showing us favoring public violence on the side of hamas. I want to hear Muslim Leaders condemn hamas. Hamas is isis. Islamic jihadists. Protests should begin with that hamas have perpetrated unbearable atrocities and genocidal reactions israeli people and exploit palestinians under their control as human shields. That has been their Modus Operandi from the outset. This week we finally heard mahmoud abbas, the head of the Palestinian Authority say hamas does not represent the Palestinian People. Hamas must release the hostages. If you imagine that there was this response to the atrocities perpetrated by isis on christians yazidis, kurds, Muslims The World would be in disbelief. At the moment this is looking like legitimate support for hamas. And thats every muslim should divorce themselves from supporting hamas. Thats extremely important. Ainsley absolutely. What is scary is to hear americans at a lot of these rallies say never happened they never raped the women. They never took hostages. They didnt kill the babies. Yes. This kind of denial i have also heard this from inside some circles. Its extremely shocking. This is part of the war on information. The war on ignorance that favors the jihadists islamists. We absolutely cannot permit that. You saw the british Prime Minister today on the bbc explain supporting hamas in britain comes with a sentence of 14 years in prison. Thats what he just said. Were seeing also in europe the homes of jewish people in berlin have been vandalized with the star of david, the German Police have reported that jewish children are afraid to go to school in a french school. 600 children normally study. Barely 60 came. Even the teachers did not come because of the fear. The british Prime Minister was in a british German School today. These kind of protests absolutely allowed in the United States. Im also aggrieving for the lost of life on the palestinian side and as well as the israel side. There is no Question Humanity is suffering. We must delegitimize hamas. I would ask the worlds Muslim Leaders to say that loudly. Hamas does not represent palestinians. It does not represent islam. We do not stand with jihadist islamism. We recognize the right to jewish life. We recognize the sovereignty of the jewish state. There can be no confusion about that point. And, yet, in the u. S. This is what we are seeing. One last point. We very seen in the last three or four years enormous Corporate Support for certain social issues depending on whatever their pr pr preferences were. You can remember the protest during the pandemic. Where is american corporate world . Where is nike . Where is cocacola, where are the airlines . Where is delta . Where is jetblue . We have been aghast at so Many American universities failing to condemn genocidal actions of hamas against israelis. This is the time for the corporate world to message we condemn radical islam. We condemn islamist jihaddism. We stand with israel. There is a need to do that. And this also benefits the palestinians who are absolutely hostage to hamas in almost permanency. Ainsley looking at live pictures of gaza city where apparently hamas will not the ones who live in the north go down to the southern part of the region because israel at any moment could have a Ground Invasion or could be bombing more. So thank you so much for coming on with us and explaining all of this. Pleasure. Ainsley this morning, we are learning that hamas has taken 199 hostages. More than we previously thought. Trey yingst is on the ground with the latest for us. Plus, here at home, today the g. O. P. Conference meets Behind Closed Doors to try and get a speaker. Could jim jordan take the gavel .

Just in Secretary Of State Antony Blinken meeting oneonone with the Prime Minister of israel. Benjamin netanyahu right now. Blinken arrived back in israel about an hour ago. Steve this all comes as more explosions rocked gaza earlier as israel is planning for a Ground Invasion. Lawrence lets go back to our own trey yingst live in the Southern Israel. Trey, you know. One of the calculations that analyst has been talking about was undoing this Peace Agreement with saudi arabia that they have been working on. Through the statement netanyahu reached it doesnt look like there is any plan to take gaza. Can you tell me the reaction from the folks on the ground now that that plan has been put out . Yeah. Look, the focus for many on the ground is just this war thats developing in the course of our reporting, we have talked to a number of officials and top military leaders and asked them these questions amid other questions about Current Events that are taking place as we speak. And the focus is simply on military. Not on politics. And so we dont know exactly what will take place as it relates to that deal with saudi arabia that was in the works real keep component of that deal was having some level of support for the Palestinian People and after what has taken place. The calculations are changing here. As we speak there are sirens sounding in the Southern City of rocket fire both medium and long range continues from the gaza strip. And this really gives you a sense despite the fact that israelis are hitting hard many of these targets throughout gaza not able to stop the rockets fire. Lull in the fighting and you wont see rocket fire from anywhere from 10 to 12 hours. In the morning it picks up again and have you sirens across southern and central israel. There is very much still active conflict taking place on the border. In the distance earlier we heard gunfire and then a large explosion. Likely infiltration attempts still trying to take place. This is an active scene. For the politics a lot of that has been put aside at the moment. Trey, real quick. Did the israelis turn the water back on in portions of gaza . I just got a note from a senior hamas official in gaza city that said they did not. The israelis say they did. We havent been able to independently confirm who is telling the truth here but i can tell you in the Past Hamas Has said they havent when they have. And so a lot of times these things are used on the ground for leverage and information war that runs parallel to all of this. And its incredibly challenging to report on what is happening inside gaza. While we are getting information from inside. We have other sources telling us something contradictory. So we have got to go with what we know and with what we know right now. The israelis say they turned it back on and hamas tells us they have not. Brian 199 hostages now . All of them notified the families of those hostages. The numbers ticking up. We understand that number might even rise. But the israelis this morning confirming 199 families have been notified that their loved ones have been pulled into the gaza strip. We should note not all of them are alive. We have seen images that we have been able to verify from inside gaza that they took the bodies of israelis they killed here in Southern Israel back into the gaza strip. Many of them still are alive and part of the reason you have all of these negotiations and conversations taking place behind the scenes. If there is any possibility tO Get Hostages out and rescued before the Israeli Ground operation moves forward. They are certainly going to want to do that and with the number of americans and foreigners involved in the mix here thats part of the equation and part of the reason you see Secretary Of State Antony Blinken on the ground once again in israel trying to get some things done behind the scenes. Have those conversations and see if there is way first to get any dual american citizens out of gaza. We know there are many propalestinian in gaza. Aid workers visiting their families and, the hostages. Ainsley thank you so much, trey. There were images on the New York Post was it saturday . Saturday morning of Hamas Holding israeli babies. Brian video. Ainsley and some children. Its just awful. They had their big weapons holding a baby with the face covered. Lawrence hard to believe your eyes those because some folks say that doesnt exist. Steve Blinken Meeting with netanyahu right now. They will probably have a press conference coming up on fox. Ainsley In Washington, today the house g. O. P. Conference is going to meet Behind Closed Doors. We are hoping for a speaker vote. They are saying there could be a floor vote tomorrow, its expected at 12 00 p. M. Brian what we are finding out, obviously you need 217. We are found out over the weekend from two separate people jordan has 200 votes. Going to be harding getting the reps of the way. Evidently he has been very direct. Using people to get the message forward. You better vote for me. Thats not flying with the moderates who are now saying we are going to put our own candidate up and see where that goes. Could be Elise Stefanik and tom emmert. Jodey arrington. But right now everybody is all in for jim jordan, including our guest from two hours from now, kevin mccarthy. Is he like im telling everyone. Dont vote for me. Vote for jim jordan. Lawrence clear that jim jordan is going for more of an aggressive approach to let them know that the caucus needs to get their house in order. Ened many people credit nancy pelosi for having that same type of spine. The moderates, and it is true and brian we were talking about this on air it is true that gaetz initiate thud mess. The problem that the moderates find themselves in now is that they always said that there needed to be party unity and you got 200 folks in the caucus supporting someone. Then the other ones have to get on board. Now those 17 now that are moderates have to do the same thing that they were preacherring in the past election. So, there is a there is a faction of republicans who do not like jim jordan. And so what they told Olivia Beavers Over at politico yesterday, at least two House Republicans said that there will be a challenger but they have not named the person yet. And the person will not only block jordan from becoming speaker but also will give cover to those who dont want to vote against him. It will be somebody likeable and be like, okay. You dont have to vote for jim jordan. Vote for this other person. At least they are you know, they have done a nose count. At least a dozen hard nos. But those who it looks like he needs to win over at least 50 because they had two votes last week. The first one where he was nominated, he won 124 to 81 against a guy nobody had heard of, that austin scott, the congressman from georgia. Far from the 217 needed. And then they had a second vote. It was 152 for jim jordan and 55 against him. So he has got to that is who is he going to talk to today. Is he going to talk to 55 holdouts and can you please get on the same page. Ainsley sounds like if brian is true. Shy of 17 votes. Second New York Stock Exchange he is 152. Now if brians sources are correct he has 200. So he has to talk to these 17. Whoever the holdouts are. You all need to get on board. The democrats are so good about uniting and whoever these are, they are going to be listed. They are going to be named. And they are the reasons that we arent going to get anything done In Washington. We need a speaker. Israel is at war right now there are lots of things that need to be passed. We need to focus on here in america. Like the border. Like crime. There are so many issues. Steve sure. Do you know what, ainsley . A lot of those moderates are in joe biden districts. And its like if i vote for jim jordan, im going to lose my job next year. Ainsley why . You are voting for speaker. We have to have one. Steve they dont like him. Brian they are talking about empowering the temporary speaker Patrick Mchenry another 10 days give him power to offer legislation i might give you that i will vote for that just to get something done. Eight packages that the republicans just very determined not to have a voice it seems. Whatever they do, they want to make sure that they dont have a voice and thats matt gaetz and seven geniuses. This is what he got no. Plan, just wanted to blow the place up. Ainsley they put their vengeance or hate for one person. They use that that has more leverage than the party . I mean, the party needs to unite. You might not like the guy but if the majority does, vote with them. Brian imagine if the squad did that to nancy pelosi. Lawrence the difference is in the democrats is that the speaker of the house has the ability to campaign against him. So you say you are not going to vote for one of Nancy Pelosis bills, she will spend money on a primary opponent. The republicans changed the rules where the speaker cannot get involved in primary races so there is no leverage. Steve so tomorrow, if at noon, as the democrats are saying they are going to call the house to order, if they have floor votes, and the jim jordan goes down in flames, it could last for a week not good. 53 minutes after the top of the how about. We now know hamas has 199 hostages as israel continues to slam the terror group with counter strikes in gaza. Brian this amid a growing fear that weapons left behind in afghanistan have already resurfaced in this war. We are going to ask marine veteran about the implications, next.

Brian would you be surprised if some of the weapons that we decided to leave in afghanistan ended up in with hamas and with these Terror Groups . I wouldnt be surprised. I believe that they already were. Seeing some of the photos and videos it looks like our equipment. Steve looks like our equipment. Right now Israeli Forces preparing to attack hamas by air, land and sea as questions grow amid growing sphere about u. S. Weapons that were left behind in afghanistan. Are they now being used by Hamas Terrorists . Our next guest knows all about Fighting Terror Firsthand Marine Vet chad served in afghanistan. He joins us right now. Chad, good morning to you. Good morning. What do you make of that . They could be used in our weapons to shoot at the israelis. Yeah. Well, jim is right and not only right several reports from the ground from idf saying that hamas has american weapons. Look, if they have u. S. Weapons they came from us leaving them behind. U. S. Weapons dont just get in the hands of hamas. Our military is very strict on procedures even at the lowest level. If you lose a parish of Night Vision Goggles or a single rife like in a position that i was in, you are looking at losing your career truth is it doesnt matter if its true or not. President biden left ten fers of billions of dollars of u. S. Equipment in taliban makes america look complicit or incompetent i dont know which one is worth. The assumption is they are millions of dollars in weapons we did Leave Billions of dollars wort
