Dana it doesnt. Jim desmond, County Supervisor in san diego. Thank you. Elite Israeli Forces rescued a hostage in Southern Gaza as we bring you that good news this morning. Welcome to a new hour of americas newsroom im dana perino. Bill is off today. Good morning to you, bret. Bret im bret baier in washington. Todays rescue is the first time in months that a hostage has been rescued alive. He was inside a gaza tunnel. More than 100 hostages are believe to remain captive. Some of them likely dead. The Daring Rescue really is something today. Dana it coincides with a new warning that irans aggression has reached an alltime high. Both sides appear to be stepping back from the brink of war for now. Reality is, bret, neither one of them really wants to fight a war against israel. They are aware israel is strong and the u. S. Is backing israel. It looked to us watching here like israel scored a significant victory over when hezbollah recently. It tells you a lot about the motivations of hezbollah and iran. Dana retired marine corps bomb technician joey jones with reaction. Bret First Trey Yengst live in tel aviv with more on todays hostage rescue. Good morning, trey. Good morning. Huge news today out of gaza where Israeli Special forces rescued a hostage during a daring operation. Elite Navy Commandos entered a tunnel in the southern part of the gaza strip and found a 52yearold bedouin man taken from southern israel on october 7th. The mans family was seen running through a hospital to greet him. He has 11 children. The rescue comes as lower level negotiating teams are gathered in cairo, egypt, to work toward a ceasefire agreement between israel and hamas. The conversations are moving forward with minor details being discussed such as the names of Palestinian Prisoners that would be exchanged for israeli hostages. But hamas has rejected the current round of discussions saying the terms changed from what the group agreed upon last month. With the war grinding on new Evacuation Orders were given to palestinians in central gaza yesterday and early this morning. These orders included the evacuation of a hospital that houses wounded and vulnerable gazans, the war in gaza continues amid the back drop of ongoing tension to continues to rise in northern israel. Israelis released new video of the preemptive strikes over the weekend. Fresh israeli air strikes and alerts in northern israel. There are parallel diplomatic efforts ongoing to avert a larger crisis. Bret thank you. Dana joey jones is a retired marine corp bomb technician. This is the first hostage rescued alive in the tunnels and so an incredibly complex layers and layers of complexity in order to get this done. He is a bedouin man, father of 11 children and he has been held for all this time. Thankfully found alive. Want to get your thoughts on that incredible rescue. I think first of all you dont get that opportunity to do that without an incredible amount of intelligence and information and you dont get the intelligence and information if you arent in Southern Gaza talking to people and getting information, getting eyes on. What this does for israel is that further substantiates their operations in gaza. Now there is a conversation to be had if they pulled out and all the hostages were brought back would that be a better path . We dont have any assurance on that. Israel believes that continuing their operation is the only way to get hostages back. It is amazing to go into the enemy territory. When we hear stories about vietnam and tunnel rats, men that would jump with a Flame Thrower and clean them out. Nothing easy about urban warfare and then tunnels underground it is amazeings. Had to be a scary moment for even the operators that rescued him. Bret iran is using proxies throughout this time, specifically the houthis with different strikes even on u. S. Vessels in those waters. Businesses insiders and top Officials Say u. S. Leaders Navy Commander who oversaw the red sea they there are critics who say this is kid gloves and that there is not a pushback, not only in adhering to sanctions, but also specifically action against these strikes. I think the calculation is if israel ends up in a threefront war the United States is absolutely adhered to it. I think there is a calculation that the Biden Administration will support israel more than perhaps the harris or Even Trump Administration would militarily. So perhaps there is a sense of not getting into something and handing it off to the next administration that comes in. Im not sure. What it comes down to is we have the hezbollah, hamas, houthis very different people with different goals and although they are all tied to iran they have their own operational manifest. So there is an opportunity here perhaps for the administration to go after iran and calm all three groups. The idea iran can put their thumb on all three is not the case either. You can go back as far as old as this country is. Marine corp first charge was to protect maritime ships in that region. We have a charge when it comes to our maritime ships to do that but to prevent ships from everywhere else i think that the entire region is on stand by. I dont know that the United States should be the ones stopping this but if we dont, who will . Dana joey, the other thing that happened that is incredible. A greek tanker hit by the houthis on fire In The Red Sea, an ecological disaster. The oil tanker and tons of crude oil poses a profound environmental threat to the region. The valdez caused one of the worst Environ Mentheal Disaster had less crude. Where are the environmentalists and the people gluing their hands to the van gogh paintings over the houthi terrorists causing this kind of ecological disaster In The Red Sea . Listen, in the Climate Change church the idea is to oppress the lives of the oppressor. The oppressors are the west primarily. Urps and americans. Its not the same rules for everyone. Not about what makes the environment safe. The United States produces the cleanest natural gas in the world. Terminals wont get turned online because the Biden Administration wont allow it. This idea theyll have some sort of reasonable approach. They arent reasonable in their ideas to begin with. To think they will be reasonable in condemning this or asking the administration to do more to stop this from happening, that really edges up against their inclination to support those who see the west as terrorists ourselves. Thats the line that Kamala Harris and joe biden have been trying to tow this entire administration. What we see now with harris inching toward a version ever moderate, she leaves joe biden looking like a bigger liberal. Its interesting to see some of these decisions made even militarily on what we do to deter Something Like this, where the support for it comes from. One thing we know on the right and left there is a lack of appetite for any type of war. Thats why i say that Trump Administration may not bring in the navy and take out the houthis. They may be more strategic. I think President Trump believes he can negotiate better and apply more pressure economically. With the ships being threatened it is only going to help russia out. I guess we call it geopolitical or economic factors that may be on the table that the Biden Administration hasnt been willing to play. We will make it harder on ourselves but allow for something that could be terrible for the environment or good for oil and gas to happen overseas when we have an interest in it. Dana thank you for being on. Bret thanks, joey. Russia meantime pounds ukraine for a second day with a series of extensive air attacks at ukraine aimed at targets across half of that country. At least seven People Killed including two in central ukraine. Kiev saying russia fired 200 missiles and drones that wounded more than a dozen people, damaged several energy plants.

Watch here. Hes very engaged. You know as well as i do the president of the United States, wherever they are, have access to all the communications and all the advisors that they need.

She is worse than he is. Former President Trump speaking there. Russia escalated its attacks on ukraine. Fighting between hezbollah is accelerated and negotiations to reach a ceasefire and Hostage Exchange between israel and hamas. The white house maintains biden is engaged on all of this speaking directly this week and last to world leaders. They quote there is no such thing as a president ial vacation. The president is always working wherever he goes. After inheriting an economy in free fall and alliances in tatters from his predecessor President Biden created the strongest economy in the world and put us in a position to out compete china. Biden as allies say the president will remain engaged. President biden is focused on moving forward. Lots to do as you just mentioned in the remaining months that he will be president and he and the first lady have a robust agenda for their service to our nation after january. After his late monday address last week the Democratic National convention, convention originally planned for his Acceptance Speech he spent the remainder of the week in california. He landed in Rehoboth Beach sunday night for time at his beach house. Dana, back to you. Dana a nice place to be this time of year. Thank you.

Red lobster looking to avoid going further underwater. Investors for the National Restaurant chain are bringing in a new ceo. Can he or she undo the damage .

Im looking forward to working with our team members across North America to reinvigorate the brand and the best place to work for employees and improving the experience for our guests. Not an easy task. They filed for bankrupt see in may. A lot of challenges. In the Bankruptcy Filing they cited an illfated discount. The all you can eat Shrimp Experience for under 20. Way more customers in the door than expected. Hurt profits and also customer wait time. Analysts say this really stemmed from bad management. The union group transitioned from being the restaurants top supplier to their largest shareholder and made a few questionable choices and may have forced red lobster to source shrimp exclusively from them driving the costs up higher. Beyond that new ceo red lobster is announcing they are shutting down 23 locations in addition to the 100 they shut down this year alone. So dana, the new ceo will look to improving the custos experience. Retain employees. All you can eat shrimp for 20 may not be on the map.
