[laughter] will: we begin with thousands of anti-israel protesters descending on the white house upset with the biden administration if over its response to the i don't think going israel-hamas if war. rachel: the destructive demonstrations coming while president biden continues his trip overseas. pete: chanley painter joins us with the details. >> reporter: good morning, team. the an estimated 30,000 anti-israel protesters converged upon the white house for hours blasting the biden administration's sport of the 8- months-long war in the gaza strip. take a listen. >> from the river to the sea -- >> from the river to the sea -- >> palestine will live forever! >> down, down, with occupation! >> reporter: along with the chants, many held signs accusing president biden of being on the wrong side of history as a, quote, genocide joe. some protesters burned american flags and ignited smoke bombs. the mass demonstration was organize9 by -- organized by answer coalition which unveiled a 32-mile- 2-mile-long banner which they revealed as the symbolic red line. security measures at 16000 pennsylvania avenue were tightened in anticipation of this planned demonstration, but it didn't stop the agitators from defacing nearby statue ises like this one of andrew jackson with phrases free gaza and boycott israel products and, of course, as you said, all of this happening while the president remains in france where he was honored at a state dinner last might with the french president. guys? will: thank you, chanley. i just find this increasingly -- this is on the day of a hostage rescue in israel. and now people are pointing out how many were killed in that rescue effort. i don't know if the number is 50 or 100, the numbers appropriate to rescue those 4 hostage aings. but in the video that stuck out to me, one lone park ranger was walking around, i believe it was the statue of andrew jackson. it had already been graffitied, there he is. he stands there in defiance, in protection. i just think that video speaks a lot about the current state of america. rachel: yeah. like, we need more park rangers around our statues? [laughter] pete: like we should defend, like this is why we don't have nice things? will: one solid man. pete: totally right. those people should all be a arrested, by the way, you can't just throw stuff at an official. will, you raised a great point. we're going to bring more details to individuals. it was late morning, middle of the day, civilian area and one of the the captors was gotten without any, without a fight, but the other one, the other building was about 100 feet away. the israelis encountered hamas and got in a big fire fight. it took that to get to the the other three to get them to the safety. we've got some great guests to break down the details of this. israel was saying it's one of the biggest raids they've ever done, and they did lose a3 2-year-old commander in the process. -- will: donald trump rallies in las vegas today. he leads that swing state, a day after he was in california, newport beach, where he raised $3333.5 -- 33.5 million. he was greeted on the street by overwhelming crowds in now newport beach, california. orange county can be considered although not exactly alabama, it is a red part of california. and so today he turns his attention to nevada. ed this is the current state of the race in nevada. it's 5 points in favor of donald trump over joe biden. rachel: yeah. that's actually remarkable if you think about it. you know, a lot of those are working class service workers, and, you know, you are tourism is down. places are shutting up, shutting down because of the economy. and so these workers are feeling the pain of inflation, many of them losing their jobs. i think nevada has one of the highest bankruptcy rates as well as, you know, houses, people losing their houses. so there's a lot of, a lot of economic pain, and if i think donald trump is benefiting from that a because people, again, it wasn't very long ago when donald trump was in so people can remember what it was like under the trump economy. pete: yeah. nevada is a tricky political state. unions have -- rachel: yeah. pete: the tourism and hotel industry has huge pull are ther- rachel: a lot of hispanics. pete: indeed. we have some recent polling from fox news in informed nevada specifically about which candidate voters trust more on the issues, climate change and abortion it's biden, but when you get to the meat and potatoes of the border9 and the economy, foreign policy, trump is walloping -- it's interesting. trump took to truth social to talk about the price of insulin yesterday which some are suggesting is an attempt to take on that health care number which he hasn't been as strong the at, but he thinks he should be. rachel: yeah, it's interesting. you hook at those things, climate change and abortion. if those to are your issues, you're with the democrats. all the things that actually affect your life, the economy, immigration which, of course, is affecting resources and crime, all those issues donald trump is trouncing on. and so i think what it comes down to is you may be loyal to a party if you're a hispanic service worker, union worker, but in the end you're more loyal to your family, and that's what matters. will: it's trump +16 on the economy, +22 on immigration, biden +111 on the abortion -- 11 on the abortion. which of those issues motivate voters more? pete: correct. nevada has historically been so difficult for republicans to crack, so you're going to need a strong the get out the vote and ballot protection if act there to make it happen. will: coming up later today, we're going to have governor doug burgum of north dakota, senator tim scott, both of whom are former presidential candidates ask both of whom are -- pete: they're on the short, short list -- will: -- when it comes to being with vice president. pete: very interesting. now to a few additional headlines. a landslide in wyoming taking out a massive chunk of road at deon the pass in -- deton cutting off a critical link between idaho and wyoming. officials don't know how long it'll take to prepare the roadway and say the closest possible route goes more than 60 miles out of the way. you either take that road or you don't have another way to get there. that's no good for the folks around there. and a new report revealing chicago mayor brandon johnson spent $30,000 on personal grooming. the chicago sun times reported johnson was using campaign funds to pay for makeup and hair appointments. this was over the course of a year. johnson's campaign adviser saying in part, quote, he's using his own campaign funds to pay black and women-owned businesses a fair wage for their work in preparing the mayor and individuals associated with the campaign for public appearances. will: so he spent 30 grand on makeup, he gets an a get out of jail free card by saying black and women-owned businesses. i'm going to plant this here and it's a get out of jail free car. rachel: there is a history of mayors of chicago -- remember when the last mayor when everyone else was locked in, she went to the hair salon, do you remember that? pete: yeah. rachel: they really care about their appearance. pete: and to the bell monostakes being ran in saratoga in new york at the can -- as the track undergoes renovations, the third swriewl of the triple crown. >> a little erratic but he's right there -- [inaudible] to win the belmont if stakes at saratoga! pete: this is the sixth year in a row where a different horse has won each of the triple crown races. parity in horse racing, as you might say. good for dornoch, and those are your headlines. will: i've got another talking point for you we'd love to get your preponderance on. a missouri missouri restaurant has -- a minimum age requirement for customers. pete: it's not 18? will: it's not p. it's 30 for women and 35 for men. rachel: wow. [laughter] will: the manager said it's just something for the older people to come do and have a happy hour, come get some good food and not have to worry about some of the young folks that bring some of that drama. rachel: what a what's that drama, is that drama drinking? like, they're bigger drinkers? pete: they're more raucous, one would assume. i would imagine the bliss caribbean restaurant has had some issues, maybe some intoxications, and it's not the 40-year-olds that are the rob. [laughter] the age differential track thes, you know, men take maybe a little bit longer -- will: calm down? pete: -- to get to maturity, yeah. i don't recall what 32-year-old will was, but maybe if not that the well contained, you know? [laughter] don't let him9 into the caribbean restaurant. but i would let 229 -- 30-year-old rachel -- rachel: i was married and had a kid at that point. but, you know, a lot of times you see restaurants saying we done want kids. i actually saw a sign in new york city that said no children, dogs allowed which was very nyc. but this is an interesting new thing -- pete: wait -- will: i'm okay with it. pete: if i am too too. will: if they want to make these rules, probably based on some past experience as you point out, it's their place. let 'em do it. pete: but is it ageism the other way? will: i don't care. i don't thinker but i don't care. pete: i'm just throwing it out. there. if you're if -- 311-year-old rachel -- 31-year-old rachel -- rachel: that's an interesting question, but it if you're a cougar, this might not be the place for you. [laugher] will: anything can be -- you can be a 50-year-old cougar looking around at a 35-year-old guy -- pete: there's a lot of age possibilities. will: let's do another 10 minutes of breaking down cougars. rachel: do you know who the ultimate i cougar is? will: here we go. rachel: do you want to know? it's the first lady of france. for sure. am a i not wrong about that? pete: if i think you're wrong. rachel: okay. you think i'm wrong? if. will: there's a big age difference. rachel: there's a massive age difference. will: let us know what you think, e-mail us at [email protected]. all right. four israeli hostages finally reunited with their families. the intel that led to the daring rescue next. if everybody wants super straight, super white teeth. they want that hollywood white smile. new sensodyne clinical white provides 2 shades whiter teeth and 24/7 sensitivity protection. i think it's a great product. it's going to help a lot of patients. while i am a paid actor, and this is not a real company, there is no way to fake how upwork can help your business. upwork is half the cost of our old recruiter and they have top-tier talent and everything from pr to project management because this is how we work now. i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq is different and may help. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling in ra and psa. relieve fatigue for some... and stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin; heart attack, stroke, and gi tears occurred. people 50 and older with a heart disease risk factor have an increased risk of death. serious allergic reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant. done settling? ask your rheumatologist for rinvoq. and take back what's yours. abbvie could help you save. craig here pays too much for verizon wireless. so he sublet half his real estate office...

>> well, it went down after weeks of planning, clerking intelligence from various sources including doing preparations and operations in order to gatherer intelligence on the ground which they finally allowed israeli commandos, the elite of the elite israeli special forces to understand where they were being held and then to launch an operation that basically hit two locations, and the key thing was to do it simultaneously. the underlying assumption was that if israel hits one place where n if oa or the ore place where the three men were being held, if we don't do it simultaneously, the risks for the lives of the other location of the hostages being held in the other location were very high, so it had to be simultaneously. israeli troop troops were able to infiltrate -- pete: so this means they were wearing civilian -- they didn't come in military formation if. >> no p. they didn't advertise their advance ahead of time k if they surprised the hamas guards and the civilian zen tries that hamas -- seven tries that hamas has deployed. they got to the locations, burst in. unfortunately, an israeli special forces soldier was severely wounded. he later died of his wounds, which is a terrible loss for israel. he ises a real bona fide hero. the operation is now named after him. he was the leader of thedown terrorism unit. -- counterterrorism unit. and what the israeli troops did was go in simultaneously, get the hostages out. and the more difficult art part became actually the vehicle exfiltration. and this is a very density populated -- densely populated area, very small alleys, very -- lots and lots of people around at it. what basically happened was one of the vehicles got stuck. and when they got stuck, they came under tremendous fire. i'm talking massive machine gun fire, rpg, rockets. it was a really intelligence situation. intense situation. that is also, i think, where most of the palestinian casualties that we see the palestinians touting on international immediate what -- media. most of them were in that that area where's reilly troops -- israeli troops came under a lot of fire with the hostages in the vehicle. and finally, thanks to an envelope of fire and the israeli soldiers fighting their way out, made their way towards the coast where two helicopters awaited. the first helicopter or took noa to safety, and the second with the three hostages out. pete: it's incredible. you mentioned weeks of planning, i even read they built a mock-up, that's how sophisticated this was -- >> yes. ask if that is the level of detail that they had to have in order to have think chance of success. pete: and that must be a reflection of serious realtime intelligence that they're -- does that mean they have, the israelis have somewhat of a sense where most of the hostages might be heldsome. >> sadly, i don't think it does. pete: really in. >> you know, this was made possible because hamas decided to jail these hostages and to have them aboveground in a civilian-populated area. and we've seen this in the past. this isn't the first time that a hamas if jails israeli civilians in a civilian palestinian environment and where, by the way, the people who were guarding and forcing the israeli civilians to stay there were palestinian civilians. it's all a civilian with situationer here. many other israeli hostages are presumed to be held underground in specially-defended a hamas compounds with instructions for the hamas guards there that as soon as you hear think kind of idf activity, you execute israeli hostages. and that is, of course, the main if scenario that israel wants to prevent. there have been successful israeli raids in the past in rafah, about three months ago a israeli forces were able to go in unnoticed and save two israeli men, or civilians who were taken from the kibbutz. pete: what does this tell you about the strength of a hamas? because this is an area that's been cleared, but it's not pulley cleared, obviously -- >> right. pete: civilians willing to give a heads up to hamas if something looks suspicious. are they reconstituting in a place where you can't have israeli troops all the time? >> what we know they've been doing, with hostageses, they've been moving them around. these hostages were in different locations, and they tell israeli soldiers and intel officers after they were saved that we were moved around, and that is what hamas does, has been doing with the oh hostages as well, to make it as a difficult as possible for israel to actually get in. they've been shifting them around. pete: if move if around in civilian populations -- >> in civilian populations, in civilian houses, sometimes underground, sometimes aboveground with the full knowledge, complicity and in many cases active participation of gazan, palestinian civilians. that's a very important point because what hamas does by its strategy is constantly to muddle the line between what's military ask what's civilian. and they're dressed in civilian clothes -- pete: sure. and then they tout them as civilian casualties -- >> they get reported as such -- pete: to the international press. i want to get your comment because there were anti-israel protesters surrounding the white house. they defaced some monuments, they were calling out genocide joe chanting you're a sellout, pack your bags and get the hell out. smearing red paint on andrew jackson is. these protesters are really angry at joe biden's approach to what's going on. what's your take? >> so i've been at protests like these around the world not only in the u.s. i've seen them in scandinavia, this other parts of europe with, i've seen them in the u.k. and here in the u.s. the common denominator that i see is a lot of hatred toward the west, a lot of anti-american sentiment. true, the jews and israels are front and center of most of the vicious rhetoric here and most of the hatred, but what i see is a bunch of people who do not respect american values, who do not respect western values and are very blood thirsty towards israel. what i'm concerned is that more more of public domain is slowly but sur
