Israel does not trust the united states right now to be any peacemaker at all. They disregard with the united states is going to do. They will handle this on their own and i think they will be able to do it. Sandra that was written Tyre GeneralKeith Kellogg with us last hour as we look at live pictures just south of beirut where the idf launched a strike in the last few hours targeting one of the last hezbollah commanders still alive. John Dave Hidden 300Targets Today alone. Military experts say the region may be on the edge of a much wider war. And we are learning that the pentagon is sending more u. S. Troops in response. Sandra good to be with you john. Spoon good to be with you as well. Theyve been warning about a wider war for a long time it hasnt happened. We will see if it does appeared im John Roberts in washington. The idf put out this video to show what israel is facing in lebanon. It is really intelligence suggests that has blood terrorists are Hiding Weapons inside civilian homes. Benjamin netanyahu is warning people that live in those areas to evacuate. I have a message for the people of lebanon. Israels war is not with you. It is with hezbollah. For too long hezbollah has been using you as a human shields. And placed rockets in your living rooms and it missiles in your garage. Those rockets and missiles are aimed directly at our city is, directly at our citizens. To defend our people against speeds ten strikes, we must take out those weapons. John Republican Florida Congress when Mike Waltz is here to react. Jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon feared how likely is it that israel may launch a Ground Incursion into lebanon . Fears have increased that israel is on the brink of initiating a Ground War but so far they have not moved enough soldiers north to do so. Right now they are striking from the air benefiting from the fact that has blood does not have an Air Force. We have learned from Pentagon Secretary that out of an abundance of caution the u. S. Is sending a small number of additional u. S. Personnel to augment those already there. We dont believe in escalating the Military Conflict is in their best interest. It certainly wont be in the best interest of all those people that prime Minister Netanyahu says he wants to send back home. The u. S. Has kept 40,000 troop since last year and at least a dozen warships and for Air Force fighter Jets Quadrant spread across the region. Normally the u. S. Has about 34,000 troops in the Middle East but that spiked to 50,000 a few weeks ago when the u. S. Expected iran to strike israel. Two u. S. Navy destroyers are in the red sea. The u. S. Georgia remains near israel. There are six u. S. Warships in the eastern Mediterranean Sea including the Uss Wasp amphibious Assault Ship W with E 26th marine expeditionary unit on board. Three Navy Destroyers are also in the mid. The Uss Abraham Lincoln and its three destroyers are in the Gulf Of Oman about a Half Dozen of the fa 18 Fighter Jets from the Abraham Lincoln have been moved to a Land Base are told. Defense Secretary Austin ordered a squadron of f22 is to. Meanwhile iran continues to flex its muscles with the Military Parade On Saturday during which it unveiled a new Ballistic Missile named jhud. President biden was asked about the threat of a wider war and the Middle East when he arrived on sunday. Are you worried about rising tensions in the Middle East . Yes, i am. We are trying to keep wider war from breaking out. So far iran has not moved to strike israel as its main Proxy Hezbollah gets pounded in lebanon by israeli warplanes. John and we have no active duty forces in a war zone. Jennifer griffin for us from the pentagon. Thank you. Sandra lets bring in republican Mike Waltz who serves On The House Armed Committee and the foreign affairs committee. Obviously a reference to a discussion that happened on the Debate Stage and beyond which is not correct. Welcome to you and good to have you here. Do you support this move sending in more troops and more ships and more resources . At the end of the day, the administration is focusing its efforts in the wrong place. If you want peace in gaza, you want peace around israel, you dont focus there. You focus on iran. As long as iran is flush with cash, they do not desire peace, neither does hamas. They do not want a twostate solution. The administration, Biden And Harris have sold themselves that once we get to a ceasefire and the hostages are released, which we all want that everything will be fine, no. Iran will continue to stoke unrest because they want to destroy israel and making concession after concession to iran is what is destabilizing the situation and what we are not talking about and should be is the latest concession is going to be pulling all forces out of iraq. That negotiating is on the table from iran just be nice and we will pull out of iraq. Why are those forces needed . They are small but they are important to stay after isis. Obama did that in 2011 and we had the rise of isis and absolute chaos in the Middle East and they are about to do it again. Sandra general keith said something similar this morning. Calling this an absolute strategic failure among other things. Listen. A Handsoff Approach to iran has been a huge strategic failure. You have hamas and what they have done for the last year or so. We have hezbollah and irans proxies have shut down the suez canal. They have been firing Ballistic Missiles at navy ships. U. S. Navy ships and we have not gone after the iranians were doing something like that. That is appalling. Sandra describing what he said with a Handsoff Approach approach is not going to work. Look with the israelis are doing. They are being proactive, they are getting ahead of the hezbollah and irans moves and taking action whether it is through the pagers, the walkietalkies, or the strikes. Biden and harris reacted. Send forces in after chaos has unfolded. And the other piece, i would love to ask both harris and biden what caused has iran suffered for Launching Missiles and drones at israel directly from its oil, from stoking. Sandra what is the answer . Nothing. And trying to assassinate a former president and leading candidate and hacked his campaign and gave it to harris. Sandra earlier today he said hes been briefed on the situation in the very latest with israel and lebanon. Ive been briefed on the latest developments in israel and lebanon. We are in constant contact with our counterparts and we are working to deescalate in a way that allows people to return to their home safety. Sandra Wall Street JournalOpinion Piece says it biden leads to success or a world of disorder. Its a far more dangerous world than mr. Biden inherited and far less congenial for u. S. Interests human freedom, and democracy. All this and more adds up to the worst decline in World Order and the largest decline in u. S. Influence since the 1930s. Yet mr. Biden continues to speak and act as if he has provided over an era of Spit Increase in prosperity. Look where it was under President Trump. Literally President Trump signing peace accords on a White House lawn. Compared to here. The other thing thats more danger since the 1930s as we are seeing the biggest Military Buildup in the World And World history since the 30s and that is with china tripling the nuclear arsenal, the navy is larger than ours, launching more into space then the rest of the world combined. The ships in the Middle East are being shifted from the pacific. Not only is it wearing out our Military Reactive and not deterring iran, but they are pulling from what should be deterring china. Sandra and thats the messaging you are putting out at the u. N. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. John listen to this. Police in birmingham looking for the suspects who killed four people in a Mass Shooting on Saturday Night. They are asking the public for any tips and the reward is now up to 100,000. We have details. Do we know who was targeted and why . Officials are describing this as a Murder For Hire where at least one of the victims had some tie to Gang Activity and had a price on their head. Police say several of the victims had extensive criminal histories and were outside of a club late Saturday Night when multiple gunmen jumped out of a car and started shooting, firing more than 100 shots and hitting not only their target but more than a dozen other people who happened to be standing nearby. Four people were killed, 17 others injured, and as of this morning, five remained in critical condition. So far no suspects are in custody and officials are offering a 100,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest. As a community, we cannot give safe Harbor Or Shelter to people who want to simply kill people. We cant give them cover. They should not feel safe in our community. They should not feel safe anywhere. Here in chicago, one of the latest Mass Shootings happened at a Prayer VigilSaturday Night and the Little Village neighborhood. Police say a group of men were standing in a Front Yard Playing when a gunman pulled up and opened Fire Killing One and injuring seven others. In total at least 33 people were shot and six killed across the windy city over the weekend and starting Today Chicago police are using what supporters say is one of the best tools for responding to Gun Crime after mayor Brandon Johnson canceled the Citys Contract for the Gunshot Detection SystemShot Spotter despite having pushback from members of the City Council who were calling it the most radical reckless and dangerous Policy Decision in chicagos history. John Garrett Forest and in chicago. Thank you so much. That really drives home what your Guest Octavia was saying the last hour. That there is so much crime going on there and the city does not seem to be doing a whole lot about it. Sandra they seem to be not listening to anyone who lives through this finance. Loses family members. Any ideas that they have to try to combat this, shes been putting them out there and she is asked to meet with the mayor. She said he is not listening and will meet with her. That city is a mess and its not getting any better and it is incredibly dangerous and now you have a gang onto fighting. This is bad stuff. Sandra whats extraordinary to me as you will talk to people in chicago who havent just lost a family memb, they have lost multiple family members. As in octavias case. That is crazy. Sandra it is. We will continue covering that. Meanwhile Vice President , harris continues to duck the media and now she is set to skip a traditional dinner for president ial candidates.

Sandra court has now wrapped. The suspect in the second Assassination Attempt on former President Trump is now over after nearly three hours of testimony today. Danamarie mcnicholls on this is live outside the courthouse in West Palm Beach. Were this mornings proceedings expected to go as long as they did . Absolutely not. We were all waiting to hear why it took three hours and what we learned was the Lead Fbi Investigator was put on the stand for testimony for two hours of that. We will get into those details in just a bit but i do want to lead with what we learned. The federal judge has denied bond and has ordered routh to be held in jail until resolution of charges. Thats the big headline there. Again, lead Fbi Agent in this investigation was called as a witness to the stand by the defense for two hours and this was a strategy to persuade the judge to let in specific evidence that we heard it just this morning including for example a photo of the rifle. The prosecution did reveal that routh spoke to a female friend while in jail earlier this week. The prosecution said routh apologized on the phone for what he had done and the woman said you did the worst thing you could have possibly done. Routh apologized one more time. This was the Prosecutions Way of showing an admission of guilt there we think. The prosecution called also the location of Where Routh was hiding for those 12 hours at the Golf Course a snipers nest. Another big deal coming out of this three hour court hearing. The doj lawyers telegraphed that their intention is to add much more serious charges or the Assassination Attempt of a former president. That would be the charge. This could carry a maximum penalty of up to life in prison. Currently he is just facing to gun charges which would lead up to only 20 years in prison. We have been hearing for a while that more serious charges could be brought. They are not brought yet but the doj lawyers telegraphed that is t
