Joey i am joey jones, along with griff jenkins, Lauren Simonetti and lisa boothe. Welcome to the big hour of the Big Weekend Show, this is a Big Story Israel declaring war on hamas after the unprecedented attack that left the 700 civilians and soldiers and thousands wounded, 700 dead. Israeli Emergency Services are reporting 260 had been found dead at an outdoor Music Festival after hamas opened fire on attendees. New york congressman lee zeldin condemned the attack moment to go with us. Hamas attacked and killed hundreds of women at a piece festival to launch this. You have to be clear and understated the gravity of this moment whether you are jewish or not. Joey a National SecurityCouncil Spokesperson confirmed to fox news the death of several u. S. Citizens. Authorization of war opening up the floodgates for significant military activities. Fox news correspondent trey yingst is bravely on the ground in southern israel and hes with us with the latest. Good evening in the distance we can hear sides, these are israeli airstrikes in the northern part of the gaza strip. Israel continues to target hamas positions along the border as they were to reclaim some of their territory from the palestinian militant. We know the strikes will continue to take place. Tonight getting new information from the Israeli Military indicated over 100,000 people have showed up for reserve duty. Israeli say they have the capability to enlist hundreds of thousands of more people with needed they are bracing for the possibility of a multifront conflict now that we have learned today iran was involved in the pleading of the massacre. This changes the equation of whether or not we could be looking at a broader regional conflict. When we really boil this down it gets to how this attack was carried out and he was targeted. This is not a Shooting Attack by militants against soldiers. This is a needed effort to slaughter people in their homes, Women And Children in the militants showed no mercy, the goal was to inflict terror on the civilian population. The videos from telegram and other messaging apps showed isis executions and we should not mix words, the brutality that israel has never seen this is the darkest day in israels history and 48 hour later israel is continuing their response in preparing for a ground invasion. Joey i believe this is your third war zone in many years. Stay safe, thank you for your diligent work. The Surprise Attack Raising questions as to what u. S. Intelligence agencies did not see it coming sumer. The Wall Street Journal reported that iran has plotted the attack over the course of several weeks. Last week bidens National Security advisor may disclaim. The middle east region is quieter today than it has been in two decades. The amount of time that i have to spend a crisis and conflict in The Middle East today compared to any of my predecessors going back to 9 11 is significantly reduced. Joey joining is now former National Security advisor Robert Obrien. Thank you for joining us. I think what most american sitting at home asking or thinking how did we not see this coming good how is this not a failure of our intelligence in the israeli intelligence. Im sure Jake Sullivan is a smart guy want to do over on the statement. One of the things that we know a lack of information or chatter doesnt indicate that nothing is happening. It could be the precursor to an invasion or a big operation which we are seeing here. Our adversaries know we become very accustomed to rely on electronic intelligence, signal intelligence, reconnaissance all satellites so theyve gone old school they use messenger, notes, inperson meetings and we dont have a Human Intelligence in iran or lebanon or the gaza strip and apparently these israelis did not either to pick this up. It was a failure of intelligence and also shows the Operational Security and that our adversaries are using tooth toward our technical means of collection. Lisa lisa boothe here. We know iran helped orchestrate this attack. There is also a report that hamas leader visited moscow last month. We see the shifting Power Dynamics happening in the world of iran, china and russia as well. How concerned are you about that especially at a time with the United States is spread thin and reading low on ammunition and money. That is a very good question and something im very concerned about. Number one we need to know that iran will be held personally responsible the Iranian Revolutionary guard ship in iranian government leadership needs to know those american hostages this is not just a israeli those american hostages are harmed we will hold them responsible. That needs to go to them and clearly. As far as the Great Power Composition we have iran, russia and china. Russia invaded ukraine, iran basically invaded israel by His Proxy Hamas and they do so with hezbollah and the third domino to drop is whether xi jinping decides if its an opportune time to invade taiwan. I hope he doesnt. But this is a very dangerous time for the United States of america right now. Lauren is seems like were complacent. It is lauren, thank you for joining us. It seems like the white house is complacent with whats going on in The Middle East. You can say israel was to then they were focusing on internal issues rather than looking at what could happen in front of their eyes. This is what ive been talking about for some years. We have political discord and disagreement partisanship in america, that is part of our democracy. It can be messy. But the real threat to United States of america is our liberty its coming from beijing, tehran and moscow. With a focus on it quickly and stop with the political nonsense. Griff i want to drill more into the Wall Street Journal report about iran being behind this attack and the reporting is quite extensive t talk about has meeting with the Revolutionary Guard corps and representatives were Meeting Biweekly since august with leaders in lebanon. My question to you someone sitting in the position that you had would they be looking now at ways to make sure that these groups can no longer communicate with each other. What trey yingst is reporting tonight with 15 breach points in the fence you at a Season Hold Strategy with hamas militants engaging at this hour in various areas of israel. It is a good point. I made the comment several days ago when the Terror Attack started. This is a brutal slaughter, Congressman Zeldin was absolutely right at the peace concert. This is a violation of every law of war, this is barbarism. Even for the iranians were prepared people, they tended to leave Women And Children alone and not target them but this is isis style brutality that we have not seen him since baghdadi running isis. It is a terrible operation. It would not of been done by hamas without the approval of the coots force in ir gc. This war when tom condon talked about having israel back for the long run like we do for ukraine, this can be a long time because it will be hezbollah, hamas and eventually could be iran. If these american hostages are killed or wounded by hamas, Again America Co should hold irn responsible. Griff in what way . The equation has changed on two fronts. One is iran strongly behind this. Which is a problem for our american interest. The other we have confirmed americans killed and taken hostage, what now should be our role. There is a number of things that we should do. First refreeze the 6 billion that they were paid. Anthony bliken is a lawyer and these guys were defending the deal today, they are smart guys. If youre paid 6 billion for five hostages you can call it ransom, unfreezing of assets, even quality gift, whatever he was but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. The American People are not stupid they know what happened. The iranians have 6 billion that they can use for food and they can take the body theyre currently using for food in spite of her terrorism like theyve done in sderot and other towns in Israel Slaughtering people. Without a refreeze that money and send a stern message to the iranians if this nonsense isnt knocked off right away that the u. S. Will be knocking on their door with a lot more than a handful of cash. Joey we have a quick second i want your prediction. My concern we find out several americans held hostage and we look at what happened with carter going into the regular administration. We have an election coming up do we have any fear that our government doesnt become a Military Conflict but International Crisis where there isnt a good direction to turn . I been saying in speeches recently i never thought we would look at the carter years as the good old days but at least jimmy carter when the russians invaded afghanistan understood naive and change course and started the Military Buildup that reagan continued. We need this government that the Biden Administration that are smart and need humility and peace through strength posture to prevent china from invading taiwan into stop whats happening in The Middle Eastern ukraine. We cannot keep appeasing our enemies and hoping things will work out well. Peace through strength thats what works we have to go back to it and i hope the Biden Administration does this is a nonpartisan issue we need to keep america safe for the next year end a half and thats how we do it. Joey Robert Obrien former National Security council advisor. Thank you very much. Joey as were wages in israel the brutality show disturbing similar test isis tactics.

Lauren hamas merely following the tactics of isis as they unleash horror on the israeli people, terrifying video shown by hamas showed bodies of civilians dumped on the side of the road. Elderly forced away on motorbikes, women, children brutally kidnapped from their homes. At least 260 bodies had been removed from a Music Festival in southern israel who reportedly shot dead by hamas who descended on the festival in bands. We bring in florida congressman brian mast. Thank you for joining us. P read evil the scenes for the past two days. There is not another way to describe that. There brutality, reflections of isis. You have seen videos of the body count, decapitations by garden hoe of kidnappings. I think it will be unmatched by israel but it will not be in the barbaric methods itll be in their commitment to root out every single terrorist acting theyre about to have their war on terror. We recovered together early watched you learn and walk with prosthetic legs with enhanced swollen to your stomach. We know what the price of war is and i dont think either one of us a good night 11 and said i wouldve rather not gone. I think we probably served. When we look at what is happened israel, david different Point Of View when it comes to military service. Everyone is connected in their household no matter what. When they see the bases overrun and they see people in uniform desecrated not just innocent civilians but their military is there a bloodthirsty. I want to point out you served in that country as an american for several months in the military. Is there a blood thirst that the government will not have a choice but to go into gaza. I would say rightfully so i bracketing. Compared to america, there was a reckoning that had to take place after 9 11. There was a response to root out terrorism prevented from happening again. Rightfully so in the situation there has to be a reckoning and the commitment and response. I think this is where its so important to recognize what american commitment needs to be. In a couple of days were a couple of weeks even palestinians put up pictures of what they will say is civilians even though they targeted civilians, they will put up pictures of civilians and say this needs to come to an end. We need to support israel until the body count is 5000, 10000, 15000. Whatever it is until they kill every last terrorist. They are arab nasis. Lisa lisa boothe, having wa wad the idf you from, how capable is israels military. Israels military should be looked at this way. A lot of people ask how is america going to get involved in this. Israels military makes it a point to be totally capable to stand on their own. Do they have joint Training Exercises with america and others, yes, do we Share Technology with each other and intelligence, yes we are allies in that respect but they do not want american boots on the ground in israel they make it a point to stand on their own to make sure the jewish homeland can be defended by the jewish people in the israeli people, that is their commitment to their country. I would add to that there is a threat of american hostages and others after by all accounts being moved through the intricate network to get into the gaza strip and it should be expected that americans be there to Rescue Americans 100 wherever terrorist may look to take hostages. Griff griff jenkins. As you point out in a matter of days or weeks we will soon see pictures out of gaza and they will count the palestinian bodies and israel will begin to be lectured as Idf Spokesman has said will come in the world may turn on israel. As i pointed out in the last hour with over 700 dead israelis, 1500 wounded it is the largest loss of jewish life because they were jewish is why they were killed. Civilians, grandmothers, Women And Children since the holocaust, the deadliest day for the jewish people since the holocaust. I ask you what is the appropriate response regardless of criticism that is coming. It is the same response of the world would have for nazis. Ill use that term again, there arab nazis. Palestinians do not wish to live alongside jews they will tolerate living alongside jews until such time that they can kill their babies, kill their elderly, take as many hostages possible. That is the difference, the commitment has to be just as much commitment that you would have two kill the nazi regime that should be the commitment to kill the terrorist. Griff the u. S. Has sent navy ships and aircraft to the Eastern Mediterranean as a show of support read is there more to that . Absolutely, there is a threat of american hostages. There is a support that the United States of america give to once another and will continue to give to one another through this. Think about the intricate network to bring weapons into the gaza strip or the west bank. Funding and weapons coming from iran going to iraq or syria or possibly through libya or other places even jordan at different times to get rockets, the like of suburbans hundred pound warheads to the tune of thousands of them into the gaza strip that is intricate and sophisticated in all likelihood and being used in the reverse direction to move those hostages throughout the gaza strip and possibly throughout other in The Middle East. That requires the support of america. Joey any of our troops into gaza to rescue hostages, are we at war with several countries at that point . I dont know if we are at war with several countries but its something america should never be bashful about sending americans to get americans. Lisa thank you for the time in the perspective.
