[national anthem] [national anthem] pete we go straight to a fox news alert. The idf has killed a senior hamass commander in an overnight strike. The israelis are ramping up attacks with troops and heavy armor on standby for a planned Ground Invasion. Rachel Israeli Forces also carrying out strikes and raids in the west bank capturing another 27 hamas terror es. Joey this comes as the pentagon notifies more u. S. Troops be ready to deploy, defense secretary austin saying, quote i directed a series of additional tens to strengthen the Department Of Defense posture in the region, increase Force Protection for u. S. Forces in the region and assist in the defense of israel. Pete and the idf hitting several terror hubs overnight near the lebanon border. More than a dozen communities across the knot of israel north of israel are under Evacuation Orders. Rachel hezbollah says it is right in the heart of the battle. Hamas has warned if israel starts a Ground Offense in gaza, hezbollah will join the fighting. Joey lets get right to trey yingst on the ground in israel with the latest. There he is. Trey, what you got for us . Reporter yeah, hey, or guys, good morning. Just moments ago we saw rocket fire toward the city of jerusalem. Those rockets targeted an area that sits to the southwest of jerusalem, yet another reminder that 16 days into this Conflict Hamass and Islamic Jihad still have the ability to fire on central israel, Serving Hundreds Of Thousandses of people to bomb shelters. Right after Hose Rocket Sirens were sounding in central israel, we heard two loud explosions near the border, the israelis likely trying to hit some of those rocketlaunching units. We are getting more information from inside gaza about the destruction. About 45 of the strip has damage as a result of thousands of israeli strikes trying to lay the groundwork for that expected operation into gaza in the coming hours or days. We do know more than a 4500 gazans have died as a result of those strikes, and additionally, there are efforts underway to get more aid boo gaza to help Palestinian Civilians in the southern part of the strip that did heed Evacuation Orders by the israelis. You mentioned 12 different communities being evacuated in the north amid growing threats from hezbollah. As rocket fire and antitank guided missiles continue to be shot into northern israel, the us a reillys are concerned aboud about civilians along the border and have started to are retaliate even heavier, not only hitting the source of that rocket fire, but now targeting hezbollah command certains. One other update overnight, the israelis targeting the the west bank city of janine, they say at a moss ifing fighters were planning mosque were planning attacks, they killed an unknown amount of militants. Guys, back to you. Pete you got it. Thank you very much, trey. Appreciate it. Were going to break down a little bit more what Urban Warfare would look like. Yes, they may get involved in the north eventually, but right now were looking at gaza. Joey, break down kind of the nuts and bolts. When this invasion happens, whats it going to look like . Joey so you see heres a sniper up on top of a building. If youre coming many in on the ground, first youve got a chokepoint. The enemy knows youve got to go through this intersection. Theres a place for an ied, a land mine or an ambush. Theyve got a sniper ready. Obviously, drones are a big part of this war. All the red here, i guess, indicates where where the enemy might be, and just shows you all the different places the enemy can hide. Pete and theyre not going to have tanks, we will they will, excuse me, the idf will in an urban fight, maybe opening up chokepoints joey thats exactly right. If you dont want to go down this road, take these Buildings Out pete making a hole for your troops. Joey this is an actual picture of gaza. Pete, lets assume heir coming pete say theyre coming way. Joey youve got a chi scraper or a Tall Building here, thats a sniper, thats a place to shoot with a rocket. When it comes into the city block if this is where it wants to go, again, you see a chokepoint there. Pete intersection right here. Joey the enemy can lay in this wait. When youre deliberately clearing, it may take them half a day to come down that road. Pete absolutely right. Joey theres land mines, bombs, looking for sniper pete joeys exactly right. Its not as if you walk down the road. Thats the last thing you can do. Youve got to go into this house, into this house, Overwatch The Next One and, oh, by the way, theres a back alley here, are people squeezing out the back side of that objective. So as you clear, youve got units adjacent to you that you have to coordinate with you so one units not getting too far ahead, then youre overexposed. Its very complex going house to house. Joey and clear that real quick. Say you come down through here and you have this tall build, or and you see enemy activity. Youre going to halt, have have flyover, take that building down to the ground. Thats where getting the civilians out of the city is so important. Pete absolutely. To the next slide here joey right here. Pete there we go. Joey this is the type of odder nance that the ordnance that has been recovered already. If youll give me a pen here pete you got it. Joey these are called rpgs. You see this here, the explosive is only housed back here. These use a small amount of explosive, but they use science, basically, to create havoc. These are shot at tanks, armored vehicles, even buildings. Anything with a hard surface that was could this heat, high explosive antitank round to go off. One person can shoot one of these, take out a whole Troop Carrier if theyre accurate with it. Over here you have some land mines, theyre italianmade but not italiansupplied. Over here, hay think these are egyptian made but dont quote me on that because with were not sure. Directional fragmentation devices, claymore mines. These hurt people. The direction towards where the idf may come from, and they if frag people, injure them. The more people we have injured, the more people out of the fight. And thats the things we have here, representation from a couple of places, basically hot bombs. You can use one of these to take a house out. Again, a little amount of exploratives with explosives with a high yield. These are all employ filed individuals. Each one of these can take out multiple idf or a vehicle or a house theyre held up in, one or two people can employ them. These are ground to Ground Combat, youve got things made by yugoslavia, iran, potentially egypt, these italianmade land mines. Theyre getting supplied from conflicts of past all over the renal. Pete and in case you dont know it, youre just waking up, hes an eod tech, he was in the marine corps, explosive ordnance disposal. He knows what these things are and how the enemy uses it. Lets move on to the next one. Joey got it right here. Were going to figure this out, a marine and a soldier. [laughter] this is the paris thing weve done. We brought many two Carrier Strike groups, the ford and the eisenhower. The ford specifically, the latest and greatest and most capable. Pete what people need to understand here, its a giant airfield, effectively. The ability to project with power. We move forward to the next slide, thats a close mockup, but what does this group represent for the United States of america in the mediterranean . Joey this is almost outdated, because as of this morning we mow the eisenhower strike the group is coming in with it, and wal know theyre coming up through the suez canal, i believe the ship that took out the overhead missiles is evidence that the 26th Marine Expeditionary unit is coming through up through the canal. Well go into what that means later on in the show, stay tuned. Once you get all of this here, these are the capabilities that are amazing. You have an airfield, you basically have an a air base. You can send our sophisticated jets to take out southern lebanon, take out hezbollah, you also is have indirect fire, heavy artillery from the ships to land, big, bad guns to take out anything that the ships can see, line of sight. You have all types of Signal Technology here. You can jam with these ships, you can provide encryptedded signal with these ships. You have the most formidable Military Conglomerate in the world at that moment. Pete its like Creating A Giant Land Base right mt. Middle of the Mediterranean Sea that can project people. Well done, joey. Really appreciate that breakdown. Last night on one nation, an Idf Spokesperson talked about how theyre preparing for this fight. Watch. In essence, hamas are cowards. Their whole strategy is built upon hiding behind civilians or under civilians, and weve seen it in the past that when the going gets tough, they have a tendency to put down weapons and try to flee. As a last resort. However, our Working Assumption is that hamas has prepared the battlefield, that there are various dimensions of warfare ready for us, specifically tunnels, and that hamas at least in the first and the intermediate stages will fight and will try to inflict heavy casualties on the idf. That is our Working Assumption. That is how we are preparing for corporations operations, and that is how were going to address the situation. In terms of the assets that we will be bringing to the fore once the next stage of operation commences. Rachel so no word yet on exactly when that Ground Invasion is will be, but israel saying were going to come in when were good and ready, when we believe the conditions are ready. Really interesting stuff that you showed there on the screen, joey. These weapons of war, sometimes its so hard to think about. I mean, these are real human beings on both sides joey yes. Rachel who are having to experience all of this war and destruction, the violence that we saw on the israeli side, millions displaced on the pal indian side, up palestinian side, up to 3,000 civilians potentially killed on the palestinian side. Its a lot. We dont the know where this is going to go. Joey the hope is all of that we just explain plained, you saw what a hamas has, maybe a little more sophisticated stuff the, but they have ground the to Ground Combat elements. What we just explain if just off the coast is an amazing military might. The hope is thats a deterrent. Hey, we can bring the ham orer, dont make us have to use it. And thats whatll save innocent palestinians. Pete that is the hope, that expeditionary unit, all of that combat power is enough to make bad guys back up. Rachel i read an interesting oh, go ahead, jee joey joey. Joey theres not Tens Of Thousands of Ground Combat troops. Thats not the purpose of whats sitting out in the water even with the9 26th. Thats a couple of thousand, dozens at a time surge create inserting surgically inserting and coming out. Money of that suggests were putting 10,000 strong army unit into gaza. Thats not what that suggests at all, and that also, its something to point out and makes me happy because i dont want us involved in a war in that way. A. Rachel yeah, i couldnt agree more. I read a fascinating article about the role of china in all of this. The article said china probably giving technology the, probably helped to take down some of the i dont, im going to probably use the wrong word pete surveillance . Rachel the surveillance that the israelis had, hang, pete, Helping Hamass in that hamas leaders. Helping them in that way. But, of course, chinas sitting from above loving all this chaos thats going on as they look gee go politically at strengthening their position. Joey and we have, were making movements for that as well. My nephew is aboard or a carrier and wont give too much information, but their plans changed, and theyre forwarding our back door in the pacific. Guarding our back door in the pacific. Pete speaking of our back with door, lets go to our Southern Border rachel do we care about that . Pete we should. [laughter] we do. And. Unfortunately, weve broken another bad record. In september of fiscal year 23, it was the highest month on record of border encounters. Nearly 270,000 people encountered and, again, remember, that number in context is not gotaways, Known Gotaways, unKnown Gotaways. These are just people who turn themselves in, most of which are released into the interior of the United States bringing the total for fiscal year 23 to 2. 5 Million People at our Southern Border. Rachel another record were breaking is the number of known terrorists who have come across. Every single year with joe biden has been in office weve broken that record, and now look at us. 2023, when the world is on fire and and terrorism has nebraska been a bigger threat, i think, since 9 11, here we are. 169, these are people who are on the terrorist watch list, so imagine how many have come in that we didnt catch and how many arent on the terror thest watch list but are just getting into our country and have really bad intentions. This, to me, i mean, at this point you couldnt this is dereliction of duty. This is such an obvious threat to our country and that the border remains open. And, by the way, the number of the package deal which is really a ukraine deal, i mean, 60 billion of the 100 is going to ukraine, but theres this, you know, tiny amount, it seems tiny but it isnt, its, like, what, 14 billion going to the Southern Border supposedly for security . Trust me, it is just to increase the processing and speed up time of moving these e people into into our country. This is an a absolute, this is a scandal. Pete its a scandal, its its an invasion, is what it is. It truly is over the course of that administration. When you look at those numbers that we put on there, the fact that it was zero, it was zero in 2019, now its 170, and when you know were at the pace of 1,000 Known Gotaways a day right now, 1,000 people that cross the border, we dont know who they are, certainly not screening them against the terror the watch list, those are the ones that are foolish enough to get caught or turn themselves in. Most people who would have nefarious intentions would find a way around. Rachel for people who dont understand, how is it we though theres 1,000 gotawaysesome. Pete they either see them through video but they cant get to them joey they have ground sensors pete and they can detect them or theres footprintses and and they know. Its obviously an a estimate at some level, but they have a good sense of how many people crossed that they werent able to rachel and weve had plenty of people on the show who are very informed on these issues say there is absolutely a relationship between the cartels and terror, International Terror organizations. They coordinate, they help get them over the border, they share tactics. Pete chinas working with hama rachel you can be sure. Pete the antiamerican axis is alive is and well, and theyre going to use each other to the detriment of the United States. Joey one more thing on the border that i think is really a part of this speaker race, one of the things republicans wanted was funding for the border. The Administration Says they want it too, but its how that fundings used. Honestly, its not about putting money at the border, its about changing policy at border, and that doesnt cost a dime sometimes. Rae e ray no. You dont need one dollar more than you already have right now to close the border. And as you said, pete, we were at zero not long ago, and we have add that record numbers of dollars going towards our border enforcement. Its not enforcement. Remember, when they talk about securing the border, just replace the word processing with enforcement, because thats all were doing. Okay. So heres, heres a reaction from some of the people who are running for office for president on the republican side talking about our border. Listen. Israel has some of the best Border Security in the world. They know its life or death, and yet this still happened, and therell be probably explanations about how it could have happened. But do you not think that our enemies are just going to not exploit a weakness in our country if you have a porous border . This is not a technical challenge, its a failure of political will. And the fact of the matter is the Current Administration has lost all of its commitment to enforcing the rule of law at the Southern Border, is undermining the rule of law law across the United States. Pete i saw that desantis clip and i asked, is he still running . No, his numbers arent going up. Anyway, the problems not going away. Rachel hes doing better than pence. [laughter] Vice President had an event where 13 people showed up. Thats not good. [laughter] joey theyre really important people, rachel. Rachel they were vips. Youre always looking at the positive. I love that that, joey. [laughter] all right, coming up, a manhunt underway for the man suspected of killing a maryland judge. Where polic
