[background sounds] pete: israel continues its strikeses against hamas against forces in gaza advancing its ground activity in the region. the idf says its iron dome intercepted a drone coming from the lebanon earlier today after taking down rockets from gaza overnight. wisconsin e will this comes as iran said the u.s. would be, quote, hit hard if washington did not implement a ceasefire in gaza, but israel's maintaining a ceasefire is not an option. >> look, we're not going to have a ceasefire with hamas. it's like you having a ceasefire after the bombing of pearl harbor or with isis, it's absurd. and i was glad to see the administration say heir not even asking for a ceasefire. pete: meanwhile, thousands of pro-palestinian protesters raging through the streets of our nation's capital yesterday. rachel: vanned arals hitting -- vandals smearing red paint on the northwest gate. some even tried to climb over the gate. will: jonathan hunt is on the ground in jerusalem with the latest. >> reporter: good morning you once again. secretary of state antony blinken continuing his diplomatic shuttling around the region. earlier today the he met with the palestinian authority president, mahmoud abbas. abbas old the secretary of state there must be a, quote, immediate ceasefire if. antony blinken rebuffed those requests to put pressure on israel for a full ceasefire and reaffirmed9 what the u.s. has said continually, that it supports only what it causes pauses -- calls pauses to get humanitarian aid into gaza a and to allow more civilians to get away from the fighting. but in an effort to win some more palestinian support for u.s. efforts, the secretary of state once genre affirmed the u.s. support for an eventual two-state solution. quote: the secretary also expressed the -- expressed the commitment of the united states to working toward the realization of the palestinians ' legitimate aspirations for the establishment of a palestinian state. that from matthew miller, the state department spokesperson. meantime, the action overnight continued in gaza with heavy strikes on an area or south of gaza city. that is called magazi. now, from hamas we heard that dozens of civilians were killed in his strikes. we have not, obviously, been able to confirm those claims. israel has said repeatedly, of course, that it is only targeting hamas positions anywhere in gaza is. and we are just coming to the end now of what israel said was a 4-hour window for more civilians to flee the northern end of the gaza strip and to move south past a city in the southern half of gaza and, ultimately, towards the rafah crossing, the southern border there the with egypt. so while we have that pause in terms of airstrikes, the ground activity around gaza city continued very much overnight and continues right now with israeli ground forces fighting pitched battles with hamas terrorists in and around gaza city and, of course, underneath gaza city in those tunnels that we have heard so much about. so we're just getting to the end, we've just passed now three minutes ago of what was that pour-hour window, so now -- four-hour windows so now we wait to the see if those israeli airstrikes in the northern part of the gaza strip reassume immediately or whether that so-called pause for civilians to get out continues a little longer. will, rachel, or pete? will: jonathan, you told us about the growing popularity of hamas in the west bank. of course, we've also seen lebanon, threats from iran, some activity in syria in response to israel's offensive now on gaza. i'm just curious, there in the west bank what is the stability of the west bank? is that a potential front that could open up -- >> reporter: oh, absolutely. absolutely. that is a very good point. we spent some time there over the weekend, and it is, it is fair the say it is a tinder box over there right now. hamas' popularity is rising, support for hamas rising amongst ordinary palestinians there. they are angered by what is happening in gaza. they are angered by the expansion that has happen over the last few years under prime minister netanyahu of the settlements there. they are angered by what they see as a growing violence by what they call extremist settlers towards palestinians, and her angered by the growing -- they are angered by the growing palestinian death toll. around 140 palestinians have been killed in clashes with the idf in the west bank since october 7th, so absolutely. you hit the nail on the head. it is a tinderbox over there, and until absolutely open another front. now, it's important to say that hamas in the west bank does the not is have rockets, but what we also heard when we were over there, guys, is that islamic jihad is becoming more powerful particularly in the northern part of the west bank, around cities like janine. and islamic jihad absolutely will be trying to get more and more weapons into the west bank. so it's a very dangerous, very explosive situation there, guys. will: all right, jonathan, thank you so much. rachel: thank you, jonathan. pete: you see that pause again for civilians which is something, you know, the international community keeps talking about, but with it's also good for israel. the more noncombatants that can get off the battlefield as you're trying to encircle gaza city, it's easier in that kinetic bat. you don't what -- battle. they already hood amongst civilians and dress in civilian clothes, it's already difficult enough. rachel: i would love to the find out how many noncombatant civilians have left and what is the situation there finish. pete: i've heard a number. i don't want to -- but hundreds of thousands. rachel: a lot of people have left, but how many are left maybe is a better question. pete: it's a good question. well, we know that joe biden is, i believe he's in delaware, beach house. speaking on his behalf, or you might say, barack obama was on pod save america pod california. the whole episode comes out on tuesday, but there's a portion that's been pre-released. and he was asked about the israel-hamas war, and it's the a bit difficult to listen to because he pauses a lot, but bear with us. rachel: he's a deep thinker. [laughter] >> if there's any chance of us being able to act constructively to do so, it will require an admission of complexity and maintaining what on the surface may seem contradictory ideas, that what that hamas did was horrific and there's no justification for it, and what is also true is that the occupation ask and what's happening to palestinians is, is unbearable. and what is also true concern. [applause] is that there is a history of the jewish people that may be dismissed unless your grandparents or your great grandparents or your uncle or your aunt tell you stories about the madness of anti-semitism. and what is true is that there are people right now who are dying who have nothing to do with what hamas did. and the problem with the social media and trying -- tiktok activism and trying to debate this on that is you can't speak the truth. you can pretend to speak truth. you can speak one side of the truth. and so if you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth. and you then have to -- [applause] admit nobody's hands are clean, all of us are complicit to some degree. pete: professor obama. the republican jewish coalition came out right away with a at the same time in response to what the former president said, and they said this: at a time when morality, international law and the welfare of our chief ally in the middle east all demand that we stand with israel, full stop, barack obama says it's complicated. it's not. hamas is to blame for the current war. the u.s. should be fully behind israel as it seeks to the end hamas' capability to harm israelis and gazans alike, but instead when israel faces a barbaric attack from hamas, obama blames israel. rachel: you know, that statement by barack obama was classic barack obama where he does this and the other side and the other side. i do the think -- because there's a lot i can agree with him on. it is complex. the history is complex. anti-semitism is real. the conditions of palestinians, they will tell you, is unwearable. but at the same time, he does, the worst part of it is the last part where he does this faux introspection and he says we all are blood on our hands, we're all complicit. well, actually, your deal with iran makes you the most complicit. and, by the way, because barack obama isn't in office, with we know that his people holdovers from the obama administration immediately, one of the first things they did as soon as joe biden got into office was to revive the iran deal which we know disrupted the abraham accords which were bringing about some sort of peace there. and so actually, barack obama has a lot to do with this. and for him to pretend in the statement that he, you know -- it's all of us. no, it's your iran deal that has probably the most to do with this. will: two quick observations. one, i do find it pretty fascinating when that audience chose to the applaud. they were silent when he gave recognition to the existence of anti-semitism and when he acknowledged the hour or risk a acts of hamas, but when he says something is unbearable for the palestinians, the the audience erupts into applause. i think that showed a pretty partisan bent on the side of that audience. second, you know, pete and i have had a lot of conversations off air, and i'm very fascinated by the -- because i want the understand. i think in a a moment of this magnitude, i reach for understanding as a way, as a cope. i want to arrive at the truth. rachel: yeah. will: i want to the understand the history, the complexity. but i will tell you at the end of all of that, you do arrive at an answer of simplicity. you do arrive at a point where you go, well, understanding the history doesn't really do anything to plaintiff you on the simplicity of the fact that that you have an existential fight in the wake of a horrific terrorist attack and that israel has a pretty crystal clear objective which is to eradicate hamas. pete: yeah. and also in 2006 gaza, they pulled settlements out of gaza, meaning all the jews and israelis out of gaza, and the gazan people elected hamas. and hamas rather than build greenhouses and invest in schools and hospitals, they invested in terror tunnels, and they built stockpiles of tens of thousands of missiles to point out jess. -- jews. and then they penetrated the border and massacred jews. that's pretty straight forward. we can talk about the complexity, but what's happening right now is an existential defense of a nation. will: and obama suggests understanding the complexity is what's required to arrive at the solution are. well, the immediate solution is the eradication of hamas. and that's fairly simple. rachel: jonathan hunt's report was really interesting when he told us that support for hamas has only grown. that shows you that when hamas made the decision to go and murder over 1,000 israelis and knowing that the retribution -- i mean, everybody knew that the israelis were going to, you know, avenge that. and so they actually put the gazans, the palestinians, in great carriage. but according to jonathan hunt and his read on the ground in the west bank, palestinians are blaming israel, and they're not mad at hamas. in fact, they're rejecting the more moderate political party -- pete: the radicals have a lot of power in that side of the world. i've seen it, we've seen it, it's true. so do you, what do you do in that phase, you take out hamas in gaza, you make an example of them, and then you hopefully it doesn't open up in the west bank. that'll be their decision if they vote many -- rachel: and you hope that israel does as much as it can to avoid, you know, unnecessary -- pete: they're doing that. rachel: i'm just -- it's worth saying. pete: it's not even worth saying because they're doing that. rachel: they're doing everything they can. i'm not on the ground, so i don't know what they're doing and not. i'm saying it's okay to say let's hope that noncombatantses will are protected -- pete: well, of course. >> that children are as protected concern. pete: somebody tell that to hamas. rachel: we're not arguing -- this is not about that. pete: i mean, it's why the wars never end, because we tap dance, and we criticize finish. rachel: i'm not tap dancing, i refuse to lose my humanity in this debate. i think there are both sides to the debate, and israel has a right to defend itself and to ask and require a country that's getting our money for its weapons to be as careful as possible, i don't think, is an unreasonable thing to do. pete: there you go. will: meanwhile, back here at home in the united states, much less weighty but still of note, we have an incident in massachusetts where it's important to note this isn't an issue of a trans athlete. it's, rather, a male athlete who wants to play field hockey. in his district, there are no male field hockey teams, so massachusetts law requires that he be allowed to play on the female -- pete: there's a ponytail involved. rachel: we don't know all the details. you say he's not trans. will: i'm just telling you the facts of the case as they've been relayed -- i don't know how this dude identifies. he may not know from hour to hour. [laughter] can you tell me who's trans and who's not? rachel: no, you're right. will: may be in a rock band with that ponytail. all i know is he's a dude playing on the girls' team, and he shot a ball -- i don't know, i'm not real big on -- i don't know field hockey. it's a ball, i think. and it knocked out a girl's teeth. pete: you don't know about field hockey because field hockey is a woman's sport. will: yeah. p.because there is no male field hockey team in massachusetts, men are allowed to play in women's sports, and it's simply -- the velocity and power coming off of that stick with that ball, it's just like in any other sport, it's going to be the that much more with a male -- will: massachusetts has law that urn equal, i don't know, protection, that you've got to give the guy an opportunity to be on the girls' team if you don't have a boy' team. ray the superintendent is not happy with this. listen. >> i think that if the haw is going to -- the law is going to the allow for this, then there have to be protections in place because, you know, there is the a difference. i, this is not a comment on the strength of female athletes. i have, i have two daughters. i don't understand why, you know, the miaa, which is our state association is, can't try to find some middle ground where restrictions are going to allow for all of our athletes to be safer. i want them to the hear there our players here in d.r.. the trauma that i saw on their a faces that night when i met their bus after that game was heartbreaking. rachel: you know, it's interesting, he's waiting for the laws to change. i look at this and i blame all parents of female athletes across the country. honestly, if there was a giant boycott to say we're not going to put our girls in any single sport with men when, you know, it's just -- we're not protecting our girls, and we're waiting for the law to catch up to the craziness. it's just, this should have never happened. pete: well, and i blame the parents of that boy -- [laughter] rachel: ray yeah, that too. pete: how are you are, you know, find another sport, sorry concern. rachel: tell me how this conversation goes. let's go. pete: you're not playing field hockey because it's a girls' sport. and if there is a boys' team, hen you can get on a bus and go an hour and a half to the boys' team that plays field hockey. that's great. but that's your choice. rachel: are you sure the conversation -- pete: otherwise -- rachel: no, you're playing football? pete: otherwise join the lacrosse team or the football team. will: no one has to pay the price for their choices. you made the choice. not everyone around you has to pay the price for your choice. you have to pay the price for your choice. and in this case what happened is the entirety of the girls' athletes paid the price for the choice one guy made and that everyone was was forced to accommodate. rachel: and that's liberalism and leftism encapsulated. the minority forces the majority to change. pete: here's the massachusetts interscholastic athletic association. they said we respect and understand the complexity -- always complex -- and concerns that exist regarding student safety. however, student safety has not been a successful defense to excluding students from one gender from participating on teams of the opposite gender. the arguments generally fail due to the lack of correlation between injuries and mixed-gender teams. rachel: i lost track of what they were saying, like, halfway -- pete: basically said this is not a problem. they said safety is not an issuer here. rachel: there's nothing complex about boys and girls. pete: there is if you've made yourself dumber over time. rachel: true. pete: which we have. will: coming up, lee betweenwood joins us -- greenwood joins us. rachel: but first, tens of thousands march on washington in the biggest pro-palestinian protest in u.s. history, and griff jenkins talked to some of them. >> from the river to the sea -- >> palestine will be free! >> reporter: do to you support israel to exist, or are you saying get rid of israel altogether9?

well, massachusetts, new york, rhode island, connecticut and coming in last, oregon. here with more is heritage foundation president kevin roberts. kevin, thanks for being here. there has been a big renaissance of school choice which i know factors bigtime into this freedom index. talk to discuss about how does a state make it to the op of the list? >> well, a state makes it to the top of the list by remembering the single most important thing we can do in education is that every dollar spent at the federal, state and local level, every dollar, pete, follow that child to the school of his or her parents a' choice. keep in mind as you documented in your recent book, just a few years ago no states had universal school choice. just this year we had nine, and we're knocking on the or door of double digits. so we put a high premium on that factor; that is, state legislators and their governors realize that the most important change you can bring to the classroom is to introduce freedom and competition and choice because we also know, as my colleagues at heritage point out, that where you have universal school choice, it lifts all boats. all students, even those who remain in schools that are government funded, are going to benefit. pete: because now they're competing for students, and they have to to create a better product inside that system. you know, most folks don't know, kevin, you're an educator, you founded schools, this is something you're personally very passionate about. does your measurement, the report card can, look at curriculum too, what's being taught in these schools? >> it does. so in addition to education free come, school choice, we also look at curriculum, we look at teacher freedom. we want teachers to be empowered to teach well and be innovative. curriculum's a vital part of that and really just to mention it a second time, you know, genuinely because i'm such a fan of your book that conservatives, myself included as i got into public policy, often just became focused on implementing school choice, and we forgot that the radical left for two or three generations has been focused on implementing curriculum that is anti-american. you think about these protests going on that are not just anti-israel, let's face it, they're anti-semitism -- anti-semitic. and that's one example of some of the cultural and curricular rot we've seen in schools. so there is a strong correlation between implementing school choice and improving school curriculum, therefore, in our report card we put a high premium on better curriculum. pete: i've got to believe home schooling is part of it too. i'm guessing there are statements with that's easier done than others. >> it is the. i'm an adopted texan, and we've recently moved to california which otherwise is a great -- to virginia which is otherwise a great state, but texas is the par excellence when it comes to education for home schoolers which my wife and i have done for 11 years. home schooling has also reached a tipping point. everyone in this country now knows someone who's home schooling. it benefits all students because it drives competition in the system. so in other words, even for a family who says i'm never going to home school, i don't know how i would ever go about that, totally fine. guess what in your child's going to benefit from it as well because home schooling, education freedom writ large brings competition into the system. that's what's been lacking over the haas 50 years. pete: kevin, conservatives have been behind the curve on education for a long time, and i wanted to commend you and the heritage foundation for taking the lead and highlighting this. more organizations on the right should follow suit. god bless you. keep it up. >> thanks. thanks so much for having us. pete: all right. coming up, honoring our heros, lee greenwood hosts a special veterans' day concert with performances from your favorite country music stars. he joins us on the one night only event you don't want to miss.
