sports, but happy to fill in again, and since i don t get the chance to do this too often, i want to do something different, you see, sometimes we hear on fox news can be a little bit hard on president biden. every second it s he called republicans out threat to democracy that s, or seemed clueless while afghanistan claps that, or middle-class people can afford food, can we stop complaining for just one second? how want to take this opportunity to highlight some of the most impressive things we have seen from joe during his presidency. for one thing, he does not get enough credit for his devotion to the united states having its first female president. yeah! a lot of people in the past may have said the future is female, but joe biden is the only guy who thinks that future is now. now president harrison i took a tour of a vaccination center in arizona. [laughter] happy birthday, great president. all kidding aside, of course president harris is a proud howard alum. last
Tonight on the reidout i think that there will be certainly time for that Policy Discussion to take place. But thats not the place that were in at this moment. I think with respect to any discussion of legislation, its premature. Theres an ongoing investigation. This is not the time to go back to the same tired saw over gun control. This is not the time to be talking about legislation. Were in the middle of that crisis right now. As the search continues for the lewiston, maine, killer, republicans continue to make excuses, including a familiar phrase used over the years after mass murders. Now is not the time to fix the problem. And there are many other shocking but not surprising things that new Speaker Mike Johnson has been saying since he took the gavel. And hes clearly not a big fan of the separation of church and state. Plus, three weeks after the hamas terror attack, israel launches an intense new round of air strikes in gauze oz. Theres tremendous anger, fear, and sadness among
Hello. Im kris jansing and there is Breaking News at this hour. The u. S. Military announcing it launched two air strikes on two locations over Eastern Syria used by iran guard and troops. The defense secretary said the launches were against ongoing iranian backed Militia Groups that began just over a week ago. In those instances militants used drones and rockets to attack multiple u. S. Installations in the region. The pentagon said those attacks left 21 americans with minor injuries, one u. S. Contractor die of a cardiac event. Now, there is a precedent here. The u. S. Has launched similar air strikes in Syria Including Last march when another u. S. Contractor was killed by a Militia Drone in syria. Defense secretary Austin Describeded the overnight launches as, quote, selfdefense and in a statement called them separate and distinct from the hamas conflict. But of course iran is a backer of hamas. All of it putting u. S. Forces in a delicate position, trying to protect personnel whil
Long. Morning joe starts right now. I have opposed efforts to ban Deadly Weapons of war like the Assault Rifle used to carry out this crime. The time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure. Which is why i now call on the United States congress to ban Assault Rifles like the one used by the sick perpetrator of this mass killing in my hometown of lewiston, maine. For the good of my community, i will work with any colleague to get this done in the time that i have left in congress.

Strikes inside his country. Iraq today has almost become another province of iran today. You are right. U. S. Force coofs easily strike in iraq and there are 2500 u. S. Troops based in iraq. Also you have some up north with the kurds in irbeal. This decision to strike is based on the map as you showed geography. Not going to have the civilian cawrkteds. Hardware done early in the morning when nobody was likely there. If you want to start killing forces probably start hitting a barracks not a weapons depot. Brian exactly. We have hit iraq before and they can protest. If they are not going to control the militias and aim at us, we are not really asking for permission. Lucas, thanks so much. Appreciate it. Check in with you next hour. Meanwhile, where does the time go in the second hour of fox friends starts right now. I will go downstairs. Steve it is 7 00 on the east coast and a fox news alert.
