This is a man who has been called one with of the most dangerous terrorists in the entire world. The idf says this morning he has the blood of thousands on his hands. He was a Founding Member of hezbollah and that he oversaw the Groups Integration into lebanons politics and hezbollahs rise to becoming one of the most heavily armed, nonstate militias in the entire world. Take a look at the strike, it happened in the beirut neighborhood, the idf says nasrallah was in an underground bunker at the time of the strike. Shortly after it, israel warned residents to the evacuate nearby areas before taking out other hezbollah command centers and weapons facilities. Take a look at these next explosions. [background sounds] [inaudible conversations] reporter will change the way that hezbollah operate, but the idf says that it is ready for an education calculation. An escalation. Overnight hezbollah launched rocks into the city of haifa in northerns israel. The world now waits for the next step in Hezbollahs Response as leaders in the biden Administration Scramble to promote a diplomatic solution. According to the New York times, irans Supreme Leader, ayatollah khamenei, called an Emergency Meeting at his Home CompoundLast Night after news of the strike on nasal a la. This is a massive blow not only to hezbollah, but the iranianbacked militias that are aligned across the entire region. Also amid news of the strike, israeli prime Minister Benjamin Net if an Ya Hue cut his trip short in New York after speak at the u. N. And did something quite rare, he flew back during the shabbat. So a situation here that is still developing, at least the reper if cushions of it, a massive repercussions of it, a massive situation right now in the Middle East. Back to you. Rachel thank you, nate. Stay safe. Reporter you got it. Pete lets bring in retired Major General dana petard, thanks for being here this morning. The leader of hezbollah, the leader since 19932, designated a Terrorist Organization shortly thereafter, been involved in attacks on americans but mostly on the state of israel for decades, with his death what does that mean . Well, good morning, pete, racheling and will. If i mean, this is huge. Hes been in charge of hezbollah since 1992, so for 322 years. 322 years. Not only as the leader who has helped put hezbollah on the map, per se, moving it to both military capability and, of course, what theyve done politically in lebanon, but also almost as a spiritual leader also. So this is a big deal. Yes, hes been a terrorist for decades, and hezbollahs been designated as a Terrorist Organization by most of the world over the past couple of decades. His most senior adviser who was just killed last week, ibrahim akill, was responsible for or took a part in the Beirut Bombing that killed 241 of our Usama Chiens and marines and soldiers back in 193. 1993. Will what do you make of the series of events that has unfolded over the past week, week and a half with what appears to be starting with the pager explosions, then the followup strikes across lebanon and now this . Israel has embarked on a major offensive against hezbollah. Why now and what is where is it leading next for israel . Well, again, it was a brilliant Operation Farce the opening stages of as far as the the opening stages of this campaign starting with the exploding pagers, the second round followed with the exploding walkietalkies. Israel, obviously, since October 7th has been really focused On Gaza. As gaza has taped down somewhat, its not over with, but its taped down what, it allowed israel to divert some resources to the north because hezbollah, with impunity, has been sending rockets and missiles against northern israel. 70,000 israeli citizens is had to flee. So what israel wants to stabilize its northern border and allow its citizens to go back peacefully to their homes. Thats what they want. And hezbollah was refusing to do that by continuing to send missiles and rockets into israel. So thats what israel wants out of this. Rachel Major General, i dont have to tell you that the Middle East right now is a tinderbox and that right here At Home theres a lot of uncertainty because we dont really know exactly whos in charge whether its Joe Biden or whether hes handed off those duties to Kamala Harris and whether shes focused on this as shes so busy campaigning. So i guess the question i think a lot of our viewers have as they look at whats happening there is what does this mean for america . If could this lead to the a wider war . Would it draw us in . What do you see happening in regards to that . Well, it always something like this can certainly lead to the a wider conflict in the Middle East. What israels doing is taking unique advantage right now of the fact we have a president whos a lame duck, and so between now and not just the election, but between now and the inauguration of the next president in january, is taking the opportunity to, you know, attack its enemies. Thats not a bad thing because what israels doing is really defending itself. But if you look at the overall Middle East, in iran and certainly behind so much of it, nasrallah studied in iran, hes very, very close to the iranian leadership. But i what, by being so aggressive what israels doing is getting into their enemies Timeline Window as far as decision making. What hezbollah and others like to do is Plan And Plan and then at their choosing strike israel. By israel striking them like this, it is, its causing iran and others to the stand back, if theyre not sure what to do because theyre not ready to do anything right now. Now, they will have a response eventually, but they are not ready right now. So this is a tough time especially for iran, because Irans Circle of fire which included the houthis down south, of course, gaza, she that shia militias, syrians as well as hezbollah was surrounding israel in many ways. That is unraveling to an extent right now. Will what do you make, general, of the news that the ayatollah has called at meeting, bringing in his top commanders now immediately, or his top advisers . What do you expect the response to be from iran . Iran will need to respond in some way, but theyre not sure what to do because, you know, hezbollah was one of their arms, and hezbollahs not hezbollah still has capability, but its leadership is in disarray at this point. So theyre going to look at ways how do they rebuild Hezbollahs Leadership and structure and then how do they respond to what israel has done. Pete Major General petard, thank you for your time. Rachel thank you, major yen. Thank you. Pete their entire leadership is decimated. Youre right, rachel, in that question, theres always a possibility things could widen. I also think Israels Calculation is by hitting overwhelmingly right now, youre preventing something wider. Youre putting iran so far back on its heels, the entire Leadership Structure of hezbollah is dead, that their fighters are largely scattered. They dont know how to respond other than probably symbolically because israels probably making a bet that iran doesnt want a full scale war. Lets hope thats the case. If. Rachel im just worried, does America Want War with iran. Youre seeing a lot of the Drug Beats pete i dont think this administration does, to your question. Rachel well, i hope they dont. Whether its the assassination if attempts on Donald Trump, were hearing a lot more about Irans Involvement although the last guy who tried to kill Donald Trump seems, from what i can read, to probably be more of an asset of our government than iran. So im a little worried whenever i hear the Word Iran lately. Im just hoping it isnt meant to draw us into war. So will meanwhile, Security BackAt Home, Kamala Harris made a trip to the united states southern border. He was there for approximately she was outside of her vehicle at the border, the legitimate border, at the Border Wall, for approximately 30 minutes. Pete 30 minutes. Will she visited a 2011 section of the Border WallPete Couldnt go to trumps wall. Will couldnt go the trumps wall, of course. It was a high Liquor Yo graphed situation. Highly choreographed. This is what she had to say. There are consequential issues at stake in this election. And one is the security of our border. The united states is a sovereign nation, and i believe we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them. And i take that responsibility very seriously. These Men And Women who work there and at other places along our southern Border Help keep our nation secure. And they need more Resources Today their jobs. [applause] and the american people deserve a president who cares more about Border Security than playing political games and their personal if political future. [cheers and applause] and so even though Bob Trump tried to saab Donald Trump tried to the sabotage the Border Security bill, it is my pledge to you that as president of the united states, i will bring it back up and proudly sign it into law. [cheers and applause] pete its a pretty cynical move, clearly leaning into attempting to recreate an image that she has not been a part of the harrisbiden administration for the last three and a half years and truly cares about Border Security. I guess, guys, the question is whether that last line actually works, whether this Border Security bill, socalled bipartisan that would have handcuffed the next administration, is enough to make people think he really is proborder. Rachel it wouldnt just handcuff the next administration, pete, it actually was funding ngos to process. Whenever you hear Border Security coming out of a democrat, it just means more processing, more of a welcome wagon to make sure we dont have a holdup at the border and we dont have bad images that they dont like. And thats what thats about. By the way, image is the right issue. I think more thought was put into what she was going to wear there so that she could look, you know, like shes down to business. And when you pulled the shot out, i wish we had that video, you could actually see her team was surrounding and trying to get the right shot and directing press. I mean, they were they wanted the shot. They wanted her by that Barbed Wire so it could look like she was doing something. But if you were one of the parents of the women who were recently killed by illegal immigrants who have come 20 the minutes and nothing, nothing more. Will well, to me, the defining image of the Bidenharris Administration when it comes to the border wail can be stats which well share in one moment, but it is the Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. Each individually defaming Border Patrol agents as emblems of White Supremacy and whipping haitian migrants as racistsen on horses. Complete defamation. And its the defining image for me of how they treat those who would secure our southern border. But here are the statistics. If imagery isnt what paints the picture, perhaps numbers do. Under Donald Trump in 2017, migrant encounters under the bidenharris under the Trump Administration showed in 17 it was 135,000, thats february through september, down in 18 to 5 22,000, and 202 20, 57,000. Compare that to bidenharris where the numbers are 250,000, 373,000 and almost half a million. President they exploded. And this is the same administration that, as you pointed out, rachel, the Border Wall that the Trump Administration had that could have been put up, they made sure it was not put up. Instead, standing in front of a wall built under the obama administration. Thats their view. Obama built a wall, wall good. Trump builds wall, wall bad. Kamala shows up and says i want wall now too because i want votes. And i dont think people are going to buy that as much. I mean, im sure they screened exactly who these two agents will be, to the find two Border Patrol agents that would say nice things about Kamala Harris. Rachel yeah. Exactly. By the way, the numbers that came out by i. C. E. , i thought the timing was interesting. What do you guys think was behind that . Pete were going to talk more about those additional numbers, Hundreds Of Thousands of known criminals including murderers and rapists in our country, they came out the day Kamala Harris showed up . I dont know, i mean, they could have been planned that way. I guess it was based on a request that had been waiting for months, so maybe they held on to it knowing she was going to the border. If so, smart politically really really really rachel really smart. Pete in fact, were moving to that topic right now, i. C. E. Is releasing shocking new data. Will It Rell Veals Tens Of Thousands of illegal immigrants with sexual Assault And Murder convictions are roaming free in the united states. Rachel madeleinely very are rah joins us with the details. Reporter hi, guys. I. C. E. Says theyve expelled the majority of migrants theyve encountered at the southwest border, requiretizing those who pose prioritizing those who pose if safety risks. I. C. E. s Acting Director says as of july the 21, 2024, there were more than 660,000 noncitizens with criminal histories on i. C. E. s national docket. That number includes migrants detained by i. C. E. And those not in federal custody. More than 400,000 have been convicted of a crime and roughly 2227 the ,000 have pending 227,000 have pending criminal charges. Among those not detained, more than 13,000 are convicted of homicide and nearly 16,000 have Sexual Assault charges. Almost 2,000 have pending homicide charges, and more than 4,000 have pending Sexual Assault charges. East identifies i. C. E. Identified Sanctuary Cities in its letter saying their policies can shield dangerous criminals. Democrats pushed back, still there is bipartisan concern over the resources dedicated to immigration enforcement. Men and women at i. C. E. Are working their guts out, and theyre professionals and they want to do the job but they lack resources, they lack manpower. And you look at the problem set, you look at the sheer number of people just and this was as of july, this isnt as of today. The numbers only compounding. We really need to dedicate resources, give them the resources they need but also the policy. As soon as you start deporting some of these people, it lowers. Reporter the White House has not yet responded to the report. Will, pete and rachel. Will thank you rachel thank you, madeleine are. Reporter you got it. Rachel the people coming across the border are not being dna
