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 General Keith 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 300 Targets 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 Journal Opinion 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 Vigil Saturday 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 System Shot 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. It is the campaigns at strategy to keep her away from the press . John after nearly three hours of testimony and court for the suspected would be Trump Assassin has wrapped up. What we know about the fate of brian routh. Kerri urbahn is here to break it all down coming up next. You have the last two people we have seen and this attempted Assassination And God forbid there are more out there. They are trying to show there is a bigger scenario than just being in possession of these two guns and thats why they want to keep him in detention. Introducing allison allisons plaque psoriasis.

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 their intention. As far as what routh was like in the courtroom, he was smiling and laughing with his attorney. Today, he again was shackled. He did seem engaged and he spoke to his lawyer a couple of times. We saw him smiling but not as similar as the first time. We saw him taking his own notes. Being shackled, we were learning about his next scheduled appearance. We still know that should be on the books for next monday. That is a probable cause hearing. Again, he will remain detained pending resolution of further charges which could be a very long time. A lot of details that came out this morning again the Lead Fbi Investigator was on the stand for two hours hoping to get some of that evidence brought into the case but we will be following this very closely as next monday is his probable cause hearing. Sandra Danamarie Mcnicholl West Palm Beach for us. Thank you. John lets bring in Fox News legal editor Kerri Urbahn and we were talking with her during the break. It really is interesting t. I have to commend them for how theyve handled it so far. They have come out swinging and including the picture of that letter that he dropped off to his friend where he talked about wanting to assassinate donald trump was very helpful. Both for their case in court but also in the Court Of Public Opinion to tamp down any conspiracy questions or Conspiracy Theories or any questions about what this guy was about. He made it very clear in the letter his intent was to murder donald trump. John we dont want to put up the text of the letter because it is quite inflammatory and could be insightful but suffice to say that you dont want a guy like that roaming around on the streets. Especially when it seems he had a plan to flee to mexico if he was successful. They fbi found Google Search of how to found how to get to mexico and six Cell Phones which immediately raises a number of red flags. He had self published a book where he was decrying President Trump, talking about iran which, by the way, this guy has a love for iran which i think is interesting given how much we are seeing iran attempting to interfere in the selection and help Kamala Harris win. He encouraged iran to try to assassinate donald trump and wee in fact trying to launch a plot to assassinate the former president. Not to say that the two things are connected but thats a lot floating out there in the ether. Not only that, he said iran you can assassinate me if im not successful. Obviously he has mental issues but the other thing that sticks out to me and what we learned this morning was the other thing that sticks out to me from this morning was 150,000 he says if im not successful, this was in this letter in this box that he dropped off to a friend and the friend came forward after he saw what happened on the Golf Course and said look, this friend of mine dropped off this box and it has all of these weapons and a letter where he says he wanted to assassinate trump and in that letter he said basically if you find that i have not been successful but i will pay you 150,000 if you are. This person does not have any money. He said that in court and thats why a Federal Public Defender was assigned to him which you can only get if you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer. He is either completely crazy which is entirely possible but where would this money be coming from and how could he pay someone if he was dead or in prison and these are just questions that i have. A little strange. John one of the issues that is really important is the charges he is facing now which is possession of a firearm as a convicted Felon And Possession of a firearm with a partially obliterated Serial Number appeared those are both felonies that can result in substantial jail time. That they are bondable offenses as far as i know. So the doj as we pointed out its going to lengths to keep the sky behind bars but the doj prosecutors told the judge that they are going before a Grand Jury to try to get the bigger charges of attempted assassination of the president of united states. If there are two parts of the federal code they could bring against this gentleman. Number one is the attempted assassination of a major presence will candidate and thats obscure and you need to search to find it but it is in the books and second, the Attempted Murder of a former president which is another obscure part of the code but exists. I Cant Help but wonder if they will bring both of those cha charges. John this guy came from greensboro, North Carolina, to West Palm Beach in august and the fbi says in his Cell Phone pinged near the Golf Course or maralago several times between August 18th and september 15th. How many times was this guy trying to stake out trump unsuccessfully and this was the one time they found them selves in proximity . It sound like he was there multiple times and in that area on the Golf Course right outside i guess it is a known place that people try to peek through to get a look at the former President Playing Golf but it looks like he was there a lot because he was waiting for his time to do this thing. Very serious. John thank you for walking us through. Appreciate it. Sandra Vice President Harris Crisscrossing The Country from arizona to philadelphia. Sorry, pennsylvania. Will it pay off .

Sandra former President Trump set to hold a rally in pennsylvania later today. Inflation, particularly the rise in Food Prices is expected to be his top focus of that speech. Pennsylvania saw the highest Inflation Rate and groceries in 2023. Congressional Correspondent Aishah Hasnie is in indiana for us. Indiana pennsylvania for us. Where trump will be holding that rally. This is what everyone is talking about. It is prices, prices, prices. Of just about everything. Is that why he is putting such a focus there on inflation . I think he has to sander. Good afternoon to you. This is what everyone is talking about. Inflation is not just a red issue, a republican issue. It affects everyone and it doesnt just affect people here in Indiana County, a very solid Red County but it is affecting other counties. Joe biden blue counties peered for example, Montgomery County just north of philadelphia i have to tell you ive been talking on the phone with folks that were there on the ground and i am told there is a 60 jump in that county and people going to food pantries. People who dont have enough food and they dont have enough food at the pantries for everyone that shows up, sandra. He could possibly come here and to bring those fed up moderates and independents in the state as well. The former president appears very focused on reaching voters in person out on the trail rather than on the Debate Stage ease and as Vice President Kamala Harris just agreed to the October 23rd debate. Trump is telling fox that is simply a bad idea. He was in North Carolina over the weekend. That also happened without his endorsed candidate for Governor Mark Robinson by his side. Of course he is facing allegations about riding some pretty alarming stuff on a Porn Website a couple decades ago and he lost some staff including a Campaign Manager and North Carolina is huge for the Trump Campaign as is pennsylvania. Pennsylvania and North Carolina and georgia. Those three states the Trump Campaign says is there path to victory. Remarks are coming up at 7 00. Sandra i just dialed into the Aaa Website to check in Indiana County Gas Prices are averaging 3. 46. That is 0. 26. Who can afford this. Sandra its above the national average by a lot. They are dealing with some extraordinary inflation. Thank you. John Vice President Kamala Harris back on the Campaign Trail this week. Shes heading to pennsylvania, arizona came in and nevada. Those stops come at the heels of last weeks visits to michigan, wisconsin, and georgia. Beginning to get a theme here . Which states are must wins to secure a clear path to victory . Lets bring in Matt Gorman, former Tim Scott campaign advisor. So, surprise, surprise they are going to battleground states between now and november. But what is surprising is new Polling Data in arizona the Real Clear Politics Average has trump up 48. 7 to harris is 46. 5 . Interesting to note that at this time four years ago biden was up by 3. 8 . Pennsylvania and nevada apparently still a tossup. Harris is up 43 . Biden was ahead five points four years ago. And in nevada, that could it be any closer. Biden was up nearly six points at this time four years ago. What does that tell you . Voters are still getting to know Kamala Harris and she is introducing herself to them and the more she does, the more they like her and the more her Poll Numbers come up. I would be worried if i was donald trump, Somebody Arizona voters have known for their entire lives given his Celebrity Status and he still Cant Crack 47 or 48. Candidates like Kari Lake and Mark Robinson are really going to be a Drag On Donald Trump when you go to the voting booth. I dont see a lot of trump voters and that will hurt him on election day. John what you said at the very beginning, people getting to know Kamala Harris. Are they really getting to know her . Everyone knows Shed Grip up in a middleclass home. Theres not much to get to know because we dont see too much of her on the Campaign Trail but that pennsylvania number, it is tight as a Tech And Pennsylvania and that is what will be the divisive state. Whoever wins pennsylvania, trunk is strongly positioned to do that. He came so close in 2020. It will open up a lot of pathways. Georgia, North Carolina, others. If you lose pennsylvania, All Of A Sudden that pathway gets a lot smaller and i would expect it would be spending a lot of time in that state between now and election day. John Kamala Harris campaign thinks she has a couple of paths to victory but listen to what politico said about the whole thing. There are only three states that will decide the president ial election. Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and georgia. If Vice President Kamala Harris cannot carry pennsylvania, her only hope is out of the Southern Strategy. She must win either georgia or North Carolina. She has no other path to the White House. We saw pennsylvania. It is a dead race. It is a tossup. Look with The New York Times at Siena Poll found. North carolina, trump is ahead by two points. Georgia, trump is ahead by four points. That does not bode well for a Southern Strategy for harris. No but she is climbing and he is staggering. Its hard for him to campaign in those cases appeared to be when those numbers and georgia and North Carolina are better for him now than they were. But she also has room to grow and she is. Biden was well behind him in those states. John when you are in the basement there is nowhere to go but up. Some of those states we werent thinking of going. There will be a bunch of people from d. C. Headed to North Carolina to door and knock for her but three months ago no one was going to North Carolina. We were all headed to pennsylvania. But now she has a clear path in those states and i think thats why you are seeing her go there consistently. And you will see her there a lot more. John so many polls are being taken now. Its difficult to know which one is the accurate. You need to take it with a grain of salt. Lets speak plainly. I find it really hard to believe a candidate, either candidate, wins in georgia and North Carolina but loses pennsylvania. A lot of these go in tandem. Michigan and wisconsin tend to go together. They can be outliers but its hard to see somebody winning pennsylvania and having strengths they are but somehow state that trends right. Brian kemp one the georges r race. We have seen this across the ballot. Trump can overcome that by about ten points or so if it is a candidate. Im not too worried about folks running for Governor Or Senate who are not as strong. Trump tends to do well in spite of that. John let me come back to the subject of getting to know Kamala Harris per 2019 she was all about a path to citizenship for the dreamers who were in this country. Now the campaign is like we wont talk too much about that. Listen to what axios rode. Harris is backing away from her past promise to use president ial power to unilaterally give a pass to citizenship to 2 Million dreamers undocumented immigrants brought to the u. S. As children. As part of a pattern with chairs and her team have changed your positions or declined to say whether she still supports some of the progressive policies that she ran on during her president Ial Campaign in 2019. She said in that now famous interview my values have not changed. Is this an indication she still supports Citizenship Path for dreamers and she is just keeping it really quiet now because it is probably not very popular with a lot of people . No. What it is saying as she campaigned on an issue, she got into office, she served with president biden, she saw what can actually get done and we have to address immigration and a comprehensive way. We cant take the Donald Trump Approach and scream im going to build a Wall And Mexico will pay for it. Thats not policy and does not work. What she has said is she will push to pass the James Lankford plan, the second most conservative republican in the senate, she wants to pass that plan and she wants to expand it and work on it in a comprehensive way and that is what shes talking about here and she wont get into every minor detail and apologies to axios but im sorry her campaign is not responding exactly to them when they want but she is saying we need to do this in a real way. John but the lack of the definitive position on something she was definitive on five years ago would seem to feed into what we found in a Fox News poll that 55 of people said it she is saying what she needs to say to get elected and not what she believes. People are stupid. Politicians change their positions. But this is a tried and true formula where it is position after position. Fracking, illegal immigration, countless issues. We could be here until five if we go through them all. And she hoped she wont get an excellent nation, will go into the details, and hopes that the media and others will not follow up on it and that is the key here. Shes rewriting her entire History And Biography and that is the key. On so many issues she is changing position its not just a one off thing. John good to have you in. Have fun at the bama game.

Harris has not held a formal News Conference peered she has done a handful of interviews and now she has sent to skip the Al Smith Dinner in new york. Jacqui heinrich live at the White House with more details. Its been a long time since a candidate skip that dinner. A very long time john. In fact, the first time since 1984 that a president ial candidate has made this decision. The dinner benefits catholic charities and is hosted by the archbishop of new york. The Archdiocese Spokesperson told the new York Post that trump does plan to attend but harris declined saying she will instead be campaigning in an unspecified battleground state. It prompted this reaction from the new York Post editorial board. The candidates are supposed to deliver light jabs at each other during their dueling addresses which can plainly be written in advance but the program has too many risks of being called upon for spontaneous reactions for harris to agree. Harris has still not held a formal News Conference and she has focused on nontraditional outlets for the few interviews she has done. Her top surrogate says transparency is not a problem because she is the only one in the race who wants another debate. I have incredible confidence in the Vice President and governor walz. They have shown that they are happy warriors and they are able to answer tough questions and they are eager to get back into the debate. Harris answer about the economy in the last debate whether americans are in fact better off than they were four years ago generated weeks of critical News Coverage peered she faced the same simple question and subsequent interviews but continues to give meandering answers and her campaign is trying to reframe the question to fit her answers. When people are running for president , they want to see what are you going to do for me. Its not a retrospective question, it is a forwardlooking question. And Nbc Poll this weekend that was broadly positive for harris shows her Trailing Trump on the economy by nine points. Also Trailing Trump on by eight points on dealing with the cost of living. The Harris Campaign does appear to be getting the message here they are planning another economic Policy Address for later this week. John at least we know why she wants to put joy and her campaign. That was one of the hardhitting questions asked. Jacqui heinrich for us at the White House. Thank you. Sandra now on our top story. The idea of launching a strike near beirut hours ago. Reportedly targeting one of the last hezbollah commanders still alive. The Terror Group tells reuters he is still alive so we expect to hear from the idf leader today. The pentagon reporting it will send more u. S. Troops to the region. Concerns growing over a wider war now. Lets bring in a retired colonel for the israeli defense forces. Thank you very much for joining us. What can you tell us about what this means for a broader or more wider war in the Middle East . Israel today, the idf went on the offensive. That is saying a lot after 11 and a half months of endless battles meeting today it was an initiative which was based on the combination of longterm intelligence, targeting this mass that we have of Hezbollah Terror targets throughout lebanon peered not just in beirut. Israel, especially the israeli Air Force targeted over 800 different targets. That is an immense number. Both in Southern Lebanon, in the beirut area, in the valley. These are all of the strongholds of hezbollah. What israel is doing is putting hezbollah for the first time in a clearcut way on the defensive. Hezbollah as we know is an islamic regime of Irans Proxy and in that sense, the question is what will the response be . Will it be a response based on hezbollah capabilities in lebanon or is this something that is going to be coordinated and broadened with additional proxies in syria, and iraq, and in yemen. Those are all things we have seen in the past. That threat is they are but this is israel and on. Sandra what is your reaction to the united states announcing it is sending more u. S. Troops, resources, and ships to the region . As an israeli right now, i feel for the first time after 11 and a half months that the initiative that the idf has started, that the israeli Air Force is doing is something that should be backed by the entire world that wants to make sure that hezbollah, a Genocide Terror Organization that has been attacking israel every single day since october 8th, positions itself as annihilating the jewish entity, the country that i live in, the fact that the united states sends troops as they are is incredibly important not just for the united states israel relationship but being against these forces that are harshly against anything positive in the world. The islamic regime of iran and the other proxies, let alone hamas and the gaza strip. The fact that u. S. Troops will be closer and will be near if it is about Air Force carriers, that is part of looking at the possibility that this wont just be against hezbollah and it could also be with additional iranian proxies. Im a little wary to say right now the possibility that the islamic regime of iran itself would join in against israel right now. Sandra as far as the statement we have got, weve been reporting from the pentagon through Major General pat writer talking to reporters and a gaggle falling much of this this morning referencing the increased tensions in the Middle East out of an abundance of caution he said we are sending a small number of additional u. S. Military personnel to augment our forces that are already in the region but for operational Security Reasons i am not going to comment on or provide specifics. I imagine we will learn a whole lot more about what this looks like in the coming days. What do you see happening next . Right now we are talking about an israeli operation. We are talking about something that is a longterm plan that is being implemented. I expect to see right now more specific targeted attacks and the way it has been done all day. It is different from what it was in the past. It is telling lebanese shiites, the different ones where the cache of weapons are kept inside their houses, inside their homes, inside the schools. If you live near a weapon depot, if you live near where the weapons of hezbollah, the Terror Army are deployed, you have to move and we are seeing Mass Movement now and lebanon both from Southern Lebanon away from those Weapon Depots that are exploding as we are targeting them peered we will continue to target them both a midrange, the longrange peered i want to be clear. We dont have the capability to destroy them all. Hezbollah has a sizable capability. Sandra we appreciate when you can join us. Thank you for your time. John. John a Shake Up and marilyns u. S.
