On the east coast and 7 00 p. M. On the west coast. It is now 5 00 a. M. In gaza. Welcome to hannity, we continue to monitor all the activity in the ground and on the skies ove gaza. It is always question of if, Ground Invasion will take place and that would be the response of israel. By the way tonight if hamas cared about the palestinian people, they would put their down their arms they would free their hostages and they would surrender. Innocent lives can be saved. They are responsible for decapitating and killing babies who now plan to fight for the death to maximize innocent casualties and what is a time o a pr victory. Hamas fighters should be quivering in fear. Right now, their deaths are imminent, there is no other option. Terrorists have been barbaric. With any group of monsters that are willing to behead babies, ra rape and burn women alive, shoot the elderly in their home and upload their atrocities to social media, what In The Name Of freedom . Are you serious . That would be fascist, that would be murder. They could no longer exist and this world and it is over for them. The question is, will they do the right thing and protect isnt sent people in gaza . I dont think that will happen. Israel has been warning the people of gaza they have been doing it for days, to get out. Telling them their response is imminent and if they stay they will dive. They have been trying to warm the civilian population, not many countries would do that especially after what happened just over the weekend. It with the latest on the groun in israel, greg, what is going on . Its a little after 5 00 p. M. Your time. A little after 5 00 a. M. And we are waiting for dawn and waiting to see what day six brings in this pretty horrendou war between israel and hamas. It all started on saturday with the bloodthirsty militants crossing over the border from gaza into southern israel. Now to thousand or 3,000 all coordinating in 22 different towns. And about the same time at abou 6 30 p. M. , we have had eyewitnesses that told police about this terrible terrible onslaught. It is just building. 1200 killed so far in israel. Including 20 to americans and 150 hostages inside gaza which is the real playing card for th militants if they have to go facetoface with the Israeli Military which there are indications that that could be happening. We have been saying in the last couple of days a big buildup of tanks, armored personnel carriers, all told, 360,000 reservists, let alone the military that is in place, wev seen the back and forth, we hav seen the rockets come up from the gaza strip, the hamas militants, sometimes wellplace rockets, but the iron dome of defense of israel, knocking dow most of them. We have seen israeli jet fighters screaming overhead and sending missiles and whole portions of the strip, one of the most densely populated area in the world, that is exactly what would complicate any kind of Ground Invasion that could b launched already 100,000 dead. For civilian total could rise, but that doesnt seem to matter too much to hamas militants for they have some bloodthirsty victory and they will look to try to ride that crest into som kind of big big battle. We heard from Benjamin Netanyah the Prime Minister is for forming a unity government is o today and he said in his words, every hamas is a dead man. He sees this to the fights of the finish, the finish of this group and there are indications even today there were some area on the other side of the gaza border of israel where it is actually there were some militants still locked in still some counter fire that said the fight is most definitely on and it is bound to accelerate. Let me ask you this great i know in the last 70 to hours, 300,000 reservists have been called up by israel for eight over 500,000 troops at the ready. Over 100,000 of those troops have been involved in the staging and positioning of what is now the inevitable Ground Invasion which would tell me that it is imminent. How close are they to the gaza border . Weve been talking book clos to the military trying to figur out what the timing would be believe it or not, they still think there could be days and still there is staging, still there is organizing, still ther is a fear of what could happen once you go into gaza and some questions about whether israel could be looking at something Even Stronger than they have dealt with before, but it is here. Hundreds of thousands in this area there is a huge Military Base here where we are right now , and there are scenes of Reservist Piling and interacts. All of this to say that i think the biggest thing i can tell yo is determination. We knew after 9 11 in the unite states, the same kind of feelin i get. They put away their political differences and there are a lot of them in the last months here in israel, they put away their differences and are determined to try to deal with the horror that has befallen them in the last couple of days. Thank you for reporting tonight from gaza. By the way, today the Biden Administration claimed there is no direct evidence that he ran funded or help facilitate the Terror Attacks, but memory team eight put together several videos of leaders in other bragging directly about the support from iran for a take a look. To keep [nonprimary language] [nonprimary language] [nonprimary language] here with reaction, former director of national, welcome back, sir. Good to have you. Thank you, sean. Sean i have had multiple sources from washington, highranking sources confirm to me that in fact the intelligenc and the evidence is incontrovertible. It is overwhelming that in fact the administration has this evidence, that they know about the iran involvement, but they are lying purposely to the American People. Why would that be . Is it to protect this 6 billio that in that ransom deal that they made cracks they dont wan the American People to know the truth . By the way, israel also has thi information and have chosen not to share it at this point, may be protecting the administratio whose support they need at this moment. I dont know. There is no doubt that their involvement, theyre plotting, theyre planning, their approval , the irani and revolutionary guard were all involved freight why wont they tell us the truth . The white house might has been arguing. The Intelligence Committee produces dozens and dozens of intelligence products every yea analyzing the relationship between iran, hamas, and has blood. And everyone of those there is analysis of the extent to which iran either improved in operation directed in an operation, ordered an operation or funded the operation. Though the Biden White House would have you believe in the largest operation that hamas ha ever engaged in, For The First Time iran took a pass and was not involved. You set that aside, on sunday, both came out and said that in meeting two weeks ago in beirut iran greenlight this information. What motive what they have for falsely accusing, falsely implicating iran and in atrocit thats going to incur the wrath of world powers economically an militarily especially when iran is their primary benefactor. The reason why, why all of this . Look, joe biden could get a signed confession from the iran and Supreme Leader saying we di this and the white house will say there is no direct evidence because to admit they were involved was to admit that the biden policy regarding iran is bigger failure than the policy regarding afghanistan. They would have to admit that they sat across the table with Hostage Takers instead were going to give you 6 billion at the very same time those people were planning to take more u. S. Hostages. They would have to admit that b easing off on the maximum Pressure Campaign of the Trump Administration and by trusting iran and enriching iran, they i fact contributed to what took place these atrocities that too place in israel on saturday so they are never going to admit that iran was directly involved even though as you said, they very clearly were and everyone in the Intelligence Committee knows that. The interesting thing is you go from obama and Biden Administration and their obsession to get billions of dollars to iran. You go through the trump years which you were part of the administration were of course, iran is isolated and that deal was just cut off. Iran was given a very stern warning that if they dared try to get Nuclear Weapons, america would unite with israel and other countries and they would prevent that from happening meaning they would probably tak out the Nuclear Sites and than here we are back. Joe biden as president in back to giving iran billions of dollars freight im having a hard time understanding why the United States of america why we have people and this country that think its a good idea too give the number one will sponso of terror, billions of dollars spread. Why do dumb people do dumb things . Its because theyre dumb. And the case of trying to understand to get everybody in the audience agrees, biden is dumb, except that one guy. The bottom line is this started in the Obama Administration because the obama administratio had no genuine affection for israel and they stood closer to iran than they did to israel. We moved back to the traditiona role that the United States has as no daylight between our most important Strategic Military an moral ally in the middle east and joe biden has read first that again. Once again, according iran, appeasing iran, enriching iran, while largely ignoring are most important ally, israel. What you have seen the last few days is a result of that for th opposite of peace through strength is chaos through weakness and we have weakness i this white house. John radcliffe, always great to see you. Thank you for being with the spirit are next guest worked on senate bill that would immediately refreeze the 6 million that joe biden and his administration has now made available to iran is part of this Ransom Payment by american hostages. 2024 president ial candidate senator from the great state of South Carolina tim scott is wit us. Senator, great to have you. Thank you. Always good to be back in your show great two hours, i love it. I do too. But honestly, i wish it was different circumstances brit i wish this could be a fun raucou crowd. It so serious, were talking about human lives at stake here. It is the serious of the moment that brings us together. That goes to the heart of what was just discussing with John Radcliffe and i will ask you th same question. The fact that you and others have to put forward a bill, why hasnt joe biden already said youre not getting this 6 billion. Why are they so reluctant and resistant to the idea that that was a bad deal up a bad idea giving the number one State Sponsor of terrorism the money. Why do we have to force it upon them, that should be a nobrainer . You cannot make a good deal with a bad actor, period. One of the things ive said since saturday is that joe bide is complicit with these attacks. Why . Because when you are weak, you invite attacks. When you negotiate to give 6 billion to iran who has 90 percent of the funding from hamas comes from your income of those breadcrumbs are simple. It is impossible for the common person to come to any other conclusion but in washington, dc , joe biden and his administration are uncommon and not in a good way. The challenges we see today is that when you give 6 billion t people who fund terrorism, you cannot be surprised when they g and do what they always have done. Got to say this. Was 6 billion paid for hostages , you have actually created a High Value Market for americans to be taken as hostages. We pray they come home, and we should do everything in our power to bring them home, but this administration has blood o their hands because they are complacent. We need to freeze those assets and send a message to the world that we stand shoulder to shoulder with israel. There is no daylight if you tak an american hostage, it should cost you your life. I tried to get Vivek Ramaswamy ramaswamy to answer this question pray to the repor factor in trade we get report after report that iran is on th verge of requiring trade we kno their facility is very large geographically speaking its a very large country. We know the location of these Nuclear Facilities we note many of them are very deep deep underground and for israel to take out the Nuclear Capability they would probably need u. S. Assistance in the form of our Bunker Buster Bombs. That repair the way that would create an opening to destroy those facilities. Should america take on that role . Does the world need to deal wit this reality that radical mullahs in iran could never hav Nuclear Weapons because that will be the real existential threat that joe biden denies, Even Nuclear War isnt its probably one of the dumbest things he is president ever sai and they stuck by it this week. Should we at least provide the Bunker Buster Bombs to israel i they decide that this is in their Survival Interest . To protect them and people of the region . Should we provide those weapons . If you were president , would yo provide them . We should listen to Prime Minister netanyahu and the resources that he needs, we should provide. This story goes back to the Obama Administration, the jc po that nuclear deal was a disaster , and what happened right after the signing of the nuclear deal, we saw you ran literally Testing Midrange listed missiles, that was in violation of the nuclear deal. So the one thing we know is tha it created a pathway to a nuclear bomb. Number two, we know they have continued to advance trying to make sure they have more number three, they have created, not just a disruption, but they tried to annihilate in my opinion through Funding Terrorism to hamas bear theyre trying to annihilate not just the jewish state, but if you understand their philosophy and their doctrine, their doctrine is not the end of just the jewish state, it is the elimination of jewish people on earth. Giving benjamin it yahoo the resources, weaponry, and our backing to finish the task at hand. And watch them thereafter turne their sights to all the supporters of terrorism against their state is exactly where i would stand as president of the United States. We should support their mission until its over. These are very important times. We have got to get these things right. At the very least, the financia support of iran, most of their money is coming from energy oil. Would it be smart for people in the middle east, may be smart for israel to take out the refineries if they dont go as far as taking out the Nuclear Capability . We should certainly see a higher reaction to what has jus happened in the middle east. Having our allies that we celebrate, watch that Coalition Come together is one of the reasons and my opinion when saudi arabia starts negotiating with israel to have a Normalization Of A Relationship Uc Iran and a 20 to go into action to disrupt what is happening in a destructive way for israel. So making sure that we attacked the Energy Sector is an important consideration one of the things i have done back in may before all this happened, i had to build to make sure the sanctions on the Energy Sector did not end in 2026. I will reintroduce that thought that bill week too make sure that we get this started and finished. We should make permanent the sanctions against he ran and th Energy Sector in whatever happens after that from a kinetic perspective, may actually help us achieve the goal of making sure that he ran is never an nuclear power. We appreciate your time. President ial candidate tim scott , we always appreciate you being on the show. When we come back, Americans Ar Being held hostage by hamas terrorist.
