[background sounds] rachel: air raid sirens ringing out over tel aviv earlier as the war in israel enters its eighth day. this as tens of thousands of israeli soldiers are getting ready for a full scale invasion of gaza. pete: the idf issuing a statement saying forces are currently preparing to implement a wide range of operational offensive plans. which include combined and coordinated strikes from the air, sea and land. will: hamas is responsible for killing at least 1300 now israelis, 29 of which, u.s. citizens. israeli prime minister benjamin net an a ya a hue assuring his troops that more fighting is on the way. >> you ready for the next stage? the next stage is coming. [inaudible conversations] rachel: "the new york times" reports that israeli forces have is delayed their initial plans as weather conditions in the area could worsen. pete: meanwhile, a second u.s. aircraft carrier is on the way to the mediterranean sea in what defense secretary lloyd austin calls a show of force as the u.s. continues to affirm its support for israel. will: despite that, iran now warning israel to stop fighting immediately, saying any further action they take will cause a, quote, huge earthquake for israel if their operations in gaza continue. pete: and now let's get to trey yingst live on the ground in southern israel. trey. >> reporter: yeah, guys, breaking news for you. we understand that rocket sirens are sounding in israel's second largest city of tel aviv. yet another indication that hamas and islamic jihad are still able to fire on some of these major population centers despite the ongoing airstrikes targeting the gaza strip. we're talking about thousands of strikes since this began, and and yet still they're able to fire rockets from different parts of gaza. now, this is taking place as we do know the tension in the north is boiling along the border with lebanon. there have been three anti-tank guided missile attacks into israeli territory today, there are reports of casualties and just yet another indication that hezbollah could get involved in this fight. as we move throughout southern israel, you still see the tens of thousands of troops preparing and simply waiting for those orders to enter gaza. there is a real sense that this is imminent, this could be hours away. even last night the buzz of drones overhead, the tanks, the apcs and the infantry troopses already on the ground preparing. and then we did have some weather issues here, and that could have complicated what the plans are for the israelis. remember, all of this taking place in parallel to efforts by the international community to try and get some sort of aid into gaza or at least allow some of the foreigners who are inside gaza to exit. there are aid workers, there are palestinian-americans, people who were there visiting family members when this massacre took place last weekend, and the american government along with its allies in europe, they're trying to work with the egyptian government of el sisi and also with the israelis trying to security only -- secure some sort of passage out of gaza. guys? pete: treying as of yesterday e it was 6,000 bombs dropped inside gaza, i'm sure it's far more than that at point. yet as you point out, hamas still able to launch rockets. what -- that gives our viewers, it gives us a sense of the depth of fortification inside gaza, the network that they have to be able to maintain these munitions and still fire them with israeli drones and helicopters and missiles raining down on the gaza strip. has the volume of fire coming out of gaza lessened into the civilian population? are they degrading their capabilities in your sense? >> reporter: they're definitely degrading their capabilities but certainly not stopping them altogether. hamas and islamic sky had understood that they don't have the rocket fire or the rocket stockpile, rather, to fire constantly on cities like tel aviv, so they have to sporadically launch those attacks and also reduce their total amount of fire. their strategy appears to be that overnight after the first few days of this conflict they stop thed firing rockets. you'll have 10-12 hours in a lull of rocket fire from the gaza strip, and then suddenly in the morning sirens are sounding at mustn't communities near the border and also in larger e population center ises like tel aviv. by the numbers we're talking about initially 1-2,000 rockets fired in the early hours of the conflict, and now it's about 200-400 a day. still significant, and they still have long range rockets they can fire, but certainly reduced since what we saw early in the war, about 1,000 a day. will: trey, quick question. we hear about electricity and water being cut off to gaza. earlier in the ukrainian conflict, and you were there in ukraine or we heard a lot about communications limitations and whether or not russia was capable of cutting off cell service or internet coverage in ukraine. i know starlink plaid a big early role -- played a big early role. is there any conversation about communication abilities within gaza? i know without electricity some of that would be compromised. what is communication like inside of gaza? >> reporter: so we know along the border the israelis have used jamming devices to limit the ability to get cell service in that area. when it comes to inside gaza, the communications minister in israel said that by saturday, yesterday, it would cut all internet access to gaza, but they still have some level of internet. we've seen videos coming out of gaza, we've communicated with sources inside that are sometimes usin respond back to our message and comment requests. so it's an indication that they still do have a way to access the internet. it's certainly not as widespread. and this morning i saw a satellite image of gaza actually when it comes to electricity, and you could see that just a week and a half ago the gaza strip had power all throughout and there were lights on at night. now they're not picking up that type of light at night because much of the electricity to the strip has been cut and if that was controlled by the israelis. they control about two-thirds of the electricity that actually goes into gaza. so there are efforts to cut those communications, but it's not totally a blackout inside gaza, because we are still getting information inside the strip. rachel: trey, i was going to the ask you about the host aages and what you know about them, and also i'm just kind of confused how bombing back and forth, how that might interfere with the prioritization of rescuing or even negotiating for the release of these hostages. >> reporter: yeah, look, it's a critical question here. we have dozens and dozens of people inside gaza. we're not just talking about israelis, but also foreigners that were kidnapped by hamas and islamic jihad when they launched this cross-border assault, and their fate is up in the air. hamas as has a claimed, and there's no way to independently verify this, but they claim more than a dozen hostages have been killed in israeli airstrikes. so it begs the question, are these strikes actually killing the hostages that they're planning to go in and rescue, and the simple answer is we don't know because we don't know where they're held. hamas claimed they'd be held in the tunnels beneath the gaza strip, but the israelis have no way to verify that. they could be holding them in a high-rise e building, they coulg thoughts and in ways, they could be moving them into buildings they know are going to be hit. we just simply don't know. given the past, it is, a, impossible to verify what they say because they lie all the time, and when they release statements, they claim they don't kill civilians despite the fact we have proof they killed civilians. and also they release statements urging the international community to call on israel to cease fire, yet they still fire the from gaza. so that's the complex situation that you have here. but we should speak about humanitarian aid. there are efforts to put pressure on the egyptian government and the israelis to allow aid into the southern part of gaza where israel has told the gauze sans to go because we are seeing legitimate reports of people running out of food and water. and remember, there are women, children, the elderly that have been told to move south. once they get south, they can't be starved to death, dehydrated. there is some level of international law that requires aid to come in to gaza as this operation pushes forward to destroy hamas in the northern part of the strip. will: trey, thank you so much. pete: thank you, trey. will: let me tell you where i as was going when we talk about the services cut to gaza. it strikes me that they have to locate those hostages right now, and in order to do so there's got to be israeli intelligence on the ground in gaza or at least assets in gaza that can communicate back. look, i understand in modern warfare, in modern swie craft there's a lot of -- spy craft there's a lot of ways you can establish communication, but i was curious what the ability is to communicate inside and outside of gaza as you try to locate hostages. this is a major intelligence operation to insure that your missiles are not landing on hostages or do your best to insure. and really quickly, trey's in his car because it's raining really hard. now, you're our military guy. i mean, i'm a student of history, and i say this humbly, i don't know what's changed, but weather's a big deal, you know? whether you're talking about snow or mud or rain, we're talking about a ground offensive. historically, i mean certainly in times like world war ii or, that's a major swing in a battle, like, what weather can play. i don't knowings pete, i'm asking you in modern warfare, maybe everything is so advanced now that it can't be impacted at weather, but it doesn't look rainy but trey was soak ising when he was reporting earlier. now he's moved inside his car. pete: president we're going to go a off the wall in later bit with about hostage rescues where weather played a huge role in that. and modern technology can sometimes be affected even more by weather because of how sensitive it can be. it wouldn't surprise me because close air support and aircraft and huge advantages israel has that weather plays a part in delaying this, for sure. and, rachel, i thought that was a great question on the hostage side because that remains a big mystery for me right now. rachel: yeah. pete: requesterring the americans -- considering the americans which, again, 15 americans held by hamas right now, and we have, i'm sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes and under the surface. rachel: that's what i'm hoping. pete: that's what i'm hoping too. but in the isis situation or oh hostage situations, there are videos, there are demands, there are public pronunciations that we haven't seen yet -- rachel: we did see the video of the babies -- florida. pete: but that was -- rachel: and that looked i outdoors. pete: that also looks like it was still in israel, a part of the operation after they had killed them in the kibbutz, i could be with wrong. i haven't seen any videos of hostages inside gaza which could be good or could be bad. i don't know, but you know that's top of mind -- will: early on there was videos of some of the women, you know, the famous, the infamous taking of noah, that was her name do you remember from the music festival? and there was videos that followed. i don't know if that was inside of gaza or southern israel in a hostage scenario. and we've also seen some of the children that hamas -- rachel: he's saying he thinks that happened -- i thought it was in gaza too. i assumed that. pete: all a of it felt like as part of the churn of the moment, right in of the horrible atrocities. i'm talking about the in-captivity, staged videos that you've seen in the past. and again, i don't know if that's good or bad. but, you know, hopefully the reports are wrong that hostages have been killed from airstrikes, but if they're moving them around, you're hitting hamas headquarters and that's where they're being held, that's a possibility. rachel: i saw a report from somebody whose grandmother was taken, and she said i hope my item is with the children because i know she'll be taking care of them and helping to soothe them. yesterday we had a woman on whose, you know, whole family,ing you know, or was taken including a 12-year-old nephew. and she just said we don't want bombs, we don't want tears, we're ready for peace, we just want our family home. so there are, you know, a lot to think about here, and i really hope that we're not relying just on rescue missions, that we have, you know, heads of state saying don't touch a hair on these people's heads because all hell will break loose. and i think that's where we're at right now. we're on the brink potentially of world war iii. we're seeing our battleships coming in to the area. it's getting really tense. will: whale, part of that -- well, or part of that, you would hope, that conversation always comes back to iran. and so when you discuss the role of iran who is now warning through the u.n., sent a message through the u.n., that if israel invades gaza, quote, iran's foreign minister stressed that iran has that its red lines. he said that if the israeli military operation continues and especially if israel follows through on its promise of a ground offensive in gaza, iran will have to respond according to sources. and then that is why the suspicion is -- that's the suggestion of why we've position aircraft carriers in the mediterranean. rachel: interestingly, the biden administration is saying, don't worry, iran is not participating in this war. i have no idea how they are so certain of that given everything that we know so far, but here's this video. >> in this moment we don't have anything that shows us that iran was directly involve in this attack, in planning it or car willinglying it out. >> it's not like the iranians were going to be able to get all 6 billion at a time. so the idea that even if they had started to draw on that fund that it would be able to fund hamas is just not true. >> we don't have specific information that ties iran to this attack. >> we have not seen any e evidence, specific evidence, that iran was directly involved with these specific sets of attacks. rachel: this is astounding to me, these apologists, because it's the $6 billion. -- it's not the $6 billion. it is the sabses that they have lifted -- sanctions that they have lifted and has enriched iran to the tune soft of some say $40-50 billion. they're selling oil to the chinese. every indication is that they're involved, but the biden administration is so committed to this deal with iran that was started under the obama administration that that they revived when biden got into office. and this is really what's playing behind it. we're going to have a clip right now -- i'd like to skip to john ratcliffe, if we could, because he believes, we talked earlier on the couch about intelligence failures. he believes that that relationship with iran, some of the infiltration of iran into our own intelligence may have had something to do with that. listen. >> well, clearly there was an intelligence failure. you know, both by israel and by the united states. both governments have admitted, you know, an element of surprise to all of that. you know, i think that, you know, one of the things that may contribute to that is the fact that,s as you've talked about, larry, the united states and israel for the first time there's been daytime between our countries -- daylight between our countries because of the approach that this administration has taken in courting iran, in begging iran, pleading with iran, enriching iran. and, you know, that the has filtered down into the relationship between our intelligence communities and, you know, i hope that that hasn't contributed to, you know, a lack of sharing important intelligence, but it's very clearly something that is in play. pete: you know, it's also hamas is not hiding from the connection to iran and neither is iran. they held a meeting yesterday in qatar, the head of hamas along with a top official from iran. publicly. embracing each other. so at this point iran is owning that aspect of it. they're threatening an escalation because they've seen appeasement from the united states of america. for whatever reason, the soft pro-iranian approach has been the default of this administration. contrast that with bombs being drop on the head of qasseming soleimani which everyone said was a are reckless move by donald trump, but it sent a strong signal to iran of where we stood. and now we've got aircraft carrier groups in the mediterranean which we would threaten to use but we really don't want to which makes it the worst of all scenarios because iran has a lot of leverage. will: this cannot be separated from what is a major story receiving very little coverage, and that is the fact that three iranian diplomats, i believe it was, who were working for a biden administration, what was he, the ambassador? rachel: they were -- will: iranian, he's an american envoy to iran. his name's rob malley. rachel: yes. will: he has been expelled from the biden administration. this happened not long ago -- rachel: only after it was uncovered, correct? will: he was expelled from the biden administration, had his security clearances revoked, and these three iranians have been essentially basically now accused of espionage. so inside the biden administration there is an espionage scandal connect to iran, and it's getting no coverage. rachel: right. will: no coverage. ted cruz was on "life, liberty and levin". he laid out some of the details. >> rob mall hi's been fired, his security clearance has been revoked. we don't know why, but he did something so egregious that even this white house with revoked his security clearance. what we do know is that rob malley brought in three senior advisers all of whom were iranian operatives. they were spies. they were recruited by the iranian government. those three iranian operatives were helping lead the biden administration's policy on iran, and one of them remains a chief of staff in a senior position in the department of defense, presumably with her security clearances still in place. it is shocking. and you know what? senate foreign relations committee hasn't held a single hearing on iranian spies directing our iranian policy while we're flooding billions of dollars that is funding hamas while they're murdering over 1,200 israelis. it is disgracesful, and any democrat who wants to stop it needs to stand the up and say cut off the money and get rid of the iranian spies. pete: amazing. can you imagine iran hiring americans to direct their policy toward america? you know what i mean? it's crazy that we would allow -- rachel: but you can see why the biden administration is saying we don't know if iran's involved, because the biden administration has a lot of culpabilitying in what is happening a right now. very, very, very bad stuff. all right. well, you're looking live at gaza city right now as idf forces continue to strike ahead of an imminent mass invasion. pete: our next guest shuttled9 6 stranded americans out of israel including the son of a congressman. representative cory mills joins us

>> well, you know, this is not the first time that i've been directly involved with botched withdrawals or failed strategy and planning by the biden administration. you know, as you recall in 20 2021. my team conducted the first successful overland rescue of a mother and lee children who were natives of texas. that took 11 days because the biden administration trying to prevent us. this was in different. i knew they had no plan, no strategy, they were going to leave americans behind, but i had to put the pressure on them and that's why it was such a big deal to go over there. it's forced the hand of the white house to start stepping up. and as i've said if biden was unable and unwilling to do his job, i'm going to step up and do it for him. will: i've had the pleasure of being behind the scenes on some of these operations including understanding what's going on right now in israel, there's a lot of people behind the scenes, a are the of private donors, resources that are marshaled to make these things happen. a lot of americans who step up. >> you're exactly right. the whole point is because we have no trust, no belief that the biden administration's going to do anything which is right. if i wouldn't have come on to fox and continued to blow up the airwaves, i truly believe we wouldn't have had that first charter that went out yesterday. it would have been, welsh we're planning, welsh we're doing this. they mad military cargo our craft that was dropping off supplies, why weren't they going back with full loads instead of coming back dry?

i mean, you're seeing the -- we've been covering the warnings from iran. iran saying if you go into gaza, we will, we will open this up even more. do you see that happening at this moment, general? >> well, it certainly is a possibility. we just don't know for sure. i mean, what we're watching up in the north right now is the hezbollah using measured attacks against the israelis, limited attacks. they're not conducting offensive operations to seize and hold any basing they haven't launched any of their sophisticated missiles. they have over 130,000 of them. so what we are thing -- they are doing is because they want the israelis to put forces up there to deal with this and distract if the forces they're going to use for their main effort goings into -- going into gaza. whether that evolves into an all-out attack remains to be seen. and, certainly, this administration is doing everything it can to prevent that from happening. obviously, the commitment of two carrier battle groups, a couple of squadrons we brought into the area, we've got the secretary of state moving around the region talking to our arab partners and certainly so they can talk to the iranians about don't take the next step, it's just going to destabilize the region itself. we'll see. i mean, the reality is i just hope for sure that the one thing that's happening is that we are talking privately to the iranians. we have avoided talking to them publicly, that's for sure -- pete: yeah. >> we've hardly mentioned their name. but we're talking to them privately and telling them we will come full throttle if they expand this war, that all of their proxies will be at liable as a result of their expansion of the war. and i hope that is taking place. pete: do you think strategically, general, that iran wants a wider war? is this something they, a moment they've chosen to employ their pieces to draw us into one? >> what i think the iranians want for sure is what we had seen taking place, and that's the normalization of relations between saudi arabia and us yel- peter: sure. >> they saw that as really a disaster for them. you saw what already happened happen. uae and bahrain have normalized relations. both of those countries with embassies in israel have come down and condemned the hamas attack. that likely never would have taken place -- pete: yeah. >> -- without the normalization of relations. if saudi arabia normalizes, and i think this thing is being derailed but not set off a, i think there's huge potential for it still happening, what follows that, pete, is all the arab and muslim nations in the region will follow suit. because they're the de facto leader of the arab muslim world in the middle east. that's what the iranians are looking at, and they know for sure that they will be isolated very much as a result of it. pete: no doubt. >> so that, i believe, is the impetus for doing this. pete: general, we've only got about 30 seconds, but we've seen a delay on the ground invasion in gaza, presumably because of weather. because any of that surprise you? -- does any of that surprise you? >> no. they don't want to go without air power. they'll come on multiple axes, for sure. air power to support them, they need that. when the weather clears and the time is right whether they're coming at night or early in the morning, they've probably got a new time set on the weather. they want that air power supporting their ground invasion. pete: for sure. general jack keane, thank you for joining us, sir. have a great sunday. >> yep. great talking to you. pete: by the way, if you want more information on key actors in this fight that is unfolding and is about to unfold, fox nation has two great specials prepared for you, who is ben with min netanyahu, the -- benjamin netanyahu, who he is, he's also a decorated war hero. you learn about him, maybe some insight into the decisions he's about to make. and also an understanding of who israel's enemy is, who is hamas. the background of that terror organization. i had a chance to host both of those specials, who is benjamin netanyahu, who is hamas. both are available on fox nation right now, precisely the kind of resources we're trying to bring to you in realtime so you have an understanding of the news unfolding all on fox nation. all right. coming up the idf preparing to strike gaza by air, land and sea in a massive coordinated operation. but at least 15 americans remain unaccounted for and feared to be hamas hostages. coming up, will and i go off the wall to break down u.s. rescue missions in the past, what went right, what went wrong and how it unfolded. ♪ ♪ ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis who are anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody positive. it is lasting control over your gmg symptoms. and, ultomiris is the only long-acting gmg treatment with 8 weeks of freedom between infusions. ultomiris can lower your immune system's ability to fight infections, increasing your chance of serious, life-threatening meningococcal and other types of infections. if not vaccinated, you must receive meningococcal vaccines at least 2 weeks before starting ultomiris and if ultomiris is urgent, you should also receive 2 weeks of antibiotics with your vaccines. before starting ultomiris, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions and medications. ultomiris can cause reactions such as back pain, tiredness, dizziness, limb discomfort, or bad taste. ultomiris is here. ask your doctor about managing your generalized myasthenia gravis with ultomiris.

the method meths. perhaps the most famous hostage situation at least in modern american history, that was the iranian hostage crisis from the 1970s, early 1980. it was called operation eagle claw. after 3,000 arabian students took over the american embassy during the iranian revolution, it was left with 66 american hostages there in tehran. pete: immensely complex. and as we look at these three particular examples, it's sobering and humbling how difficult these operations are not just in the intelligence and identifying them. in this case, we knew where they were, it was getting to them. so president carter approved that operation. it involved all branches of the u.s. government, but it involved a massive movement deep into iran, a place where we didn't have a lot of connections, and and it got really complicated really fast. will: eight helicopters took off from the u uss nimitz attempting to get to tehran. pete: so you had a cia team inside the country that was meant to help coordinate this. these helicopters coming off the anymore miss didn't have enough distance in order to reach where the hostages were, so there was a refueling site set up in the middle of the desert. they encountered a tanker, they had to shoot it with an rpg, it got really -- and then eventually fuel was running low in multiple, one was not mission capable. and in the middle of a sandstorm, they had to try to reposition the helicopters s that's when tragedy struck. will: the helicopter blades hit one of the refueling stations and it crashed and killed several americans, and it was an absolute national embarrassment because the iranians used it as a huge piece of propaganda. pete: yeah. they had to leave the helicopters behind, many of which had classified information inside them. eight u.s. service members killed, no hostages rests cued, obviously. the -- rescued. the hostages were later released after negotiation but also on the inauguration of ronald reagan who had a very different approach. will: the day of the inauguration of ronald reagan. pete: again, it was the best of the best trying to get to those americans, weren't able to make it happen. will: speaking of the best of the best and a mission that did not succeed n2014 in yemen, a freelance photographer, luke summers, was taken and and held hostage after the uprising in yemen, one that still continues to this day, by the way, in the form of a civil war in yemen. he was held hostage from september 2013 until the rescue attempt in he's of 2014. pete: we were able to track him to a walled compound in the village of southern yemen. there was the one attempt that failed, so his captors knew that they were tracking his location. and and that the u.s. would try again. seal team six commandos joined by a small number of local forces went in, and as they approached the village, their positions were effectively given away. it was imif possible to approach that building without being heard -- will: it was within 100 yards. the commandos were within 100 yards of the compound. they were discovered, a fire fight ensued. enough time had been given theists' warning that they got to go inside where summers and i believe two other hostages, not americanss, were being held and execute -- i think it was actually more, it was like 11. pete: there were 11. but, ultimately, the american is what we were focused on. and in this case, you're right, they knew the command does were coming, so they specifically went to the building where the captives were, shot them and then fled. which again shows you, this was more of a rural area, shes you how comply catted just the approach is, let alone on target. if you get seal team the six on target the, it's not a fair fight. you've got to get there in the process. will: let's move to iraq are, 2015. 70 hostages, pete. these were, the hostages in this situation, i believe, were mostly kurdish allies of american forces. pete: no doubt. stranded, surrounded, imminently to be executed, so we worked alongside rack key peshmerga to try to rescue 70 of those who remember these days of isis. i mean, when they would get civilian populations, they would herd them together, if they warrant with them, they were against them, and -- again, this wasn't to rescue americans, but it was an american-led operation. will: yeah. and they ultimately rescued 70 kurdish hostages. i think they pulled a group of 40 out of prison cells, found another 30 in the building. but in the fire fight, master sergeant joshua wheeler was shot and killed during the rescue attempt. pete: and like everything else, no plan survives first contact with the enemy. they weren't able to get -- their dynamic entry didn't work, they had to blast a hole in the side of the compound which alerted the mill tans, they had a fire fight, they had to get bolt cutters, and we did lose one great american. will but the objective was a success. i think the point of going babb into history and looking at these hostage attempts is just again, as you started out, to highlight the difficulty. and in this situation is inside of gaza, 150 hostages, 15 americans, this one -- i can't speak but seems on a difficulty level at a 10. pete: beyond a 10. will: on a scale -- the 10 was in my mind. pete: i get what you're saying. no, it is. and in these cases, these are just three, we could have picked a lot of other ones. the enemy didn't necessarily know who was coming or when, but in the gaza strip, you know hamas is prepared for the eventuality of this while sound surrounded by a population at least complicit with their actives, maybe not of their own volition, and hostages underground, including aboveground, our prayers for those who who would attempt such an operation. and we don't know if american manies would be involved either. could be an idf-only. all right, right now, israeli forces prepare to attack gaza by air, land and sea. will: here at home, university of

out across college campuses as now u-penn donors demand leadership resign for hosting a palestinian writers' festival last month. speakers at the event had called for death to israel pleasure. our next guest graduated from u-penn, and she's speaking out against her school. elizabeth is a jewish model and activist, and she joins us now. elizabeth, it's so wonderful to have you here with us today. so usually when atrocities are committed and war breaks out, college campuses become the center of the peace movement. in this case, we're seeing protests be brought, but they're not calling out the atrocities, and is they're not calling for piece. what do you make of this -- for peace. what do you make of this, and how have you wrapped your head around on what's happening on college campuses seeing as though you were there not too long ago yourself. >> yeah. thank thanks for having me. you said they're not advocating for peace. it's actually worse than that. these students are not just standing against israel, but they're e actually standing with, in solidarity with, as they say, hamas, a terrorist group which we know would probably do the exact same thing to these students' families that they did on october 7th to israeli families. i think donors to these institutions, parents who send their kids to these institutions, i think professors need to take a very, very hard look in the mere mirror, think about what they've done wrong and reverse course immediately before it's genuinely too late. rachel: yeah. you know, we had earlier in the week some wall street people who were saying, listen, i want to know the names of these protesters, i don't want the hire them. but the irony, as you point out, is many of these people are the same people who donate to these universities, and they have not demanded in exchange for those donations any kind of, you know, reform in terms of the indoctrination that's happening on campus. because as you know, elizabeth, so much of the language that we're hearing from these young protesters, many of them who knowing nothing about that conflict at all a, to be fair. but the language is wrapped in so much of the marxist language that we hear about oppressors versus oppressed. >> right. the language is really, really hostile. i think people don't realize how jewish students are feeling on campuses across america. i am furious as an american, furious as a jewa -- jew, as a former student at u-penn, and i'm tour -- furious as the tower of immigrants who fled anti-semitism that looks very similar to this. you mentioned this festival at the university. i think it's important to note that many organizations induing the -- including the a a dl tried to stop it. they mentioned the dangers of the festival, and they did not mention that anyone stood up ask wanted to change their mind after we saw it. we're seeing almost worse language at these protests regarding israel than we saw back at that festival a few weeks ago. rachel: yeah. elizabeth, thanks for sharing your story. more "fox & friends" next. she runs and plays like a puppy again. his #2s are perfect! he's a brand new dog, all in
