dana, along with >> dana: president biden pushing for a pause, hamas rockets from gaza are raining down on the jewish state. trey yingst was live on the air, a rocket landing near him. >> a rocket just slammed into the building next to where we are at. >> in terms of a ceasefire, it's challenging to have a ceasefire while rockets are still raining down on israel and that's what's being called for here, and part of the reason that the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says he won't have any sort of ceasefire because the fire still continues into israel, plus you have the issue of the hostages. 241 israelis held and some are foreign nationals, but the majority of them are israelis, held inside the gaza strip. >> dana: the leader of hezbollah is signalling a second front could break out in the north. escalating missile strikes on israel and the chief is now threatening america. >> america is a fully responsible for the war prevailing in gaza against its people. israel is merely the executive arm. america is preventing a ceasefire in gaza. it is the great satan. it is guilty party number one. it is the united states directing the war in gaza. it must pay the price. >> dana: tensions ramp up, the biden administration is sending secretary of state antony blinken back to israel to meet with that country's cabinet this morning. blinken echoing biden's call for humanitarian pause. >> we remain relentlessly focused on securing the release of hostages including american citizens. we believe each of these efforts would be facilitated by humanitarian pauses, arrangements on the ground to increase security for civilians and permit the more effective and sustained delivery of humanitarian assistance. >> dana: harold ford, jr., what do you think of the idea of a pause if hamas is not going to pause. >> you can't pause if there is not going to be an agreement for a pause. that's the whole purpose as i listen to secretary blinken and i feel for him, my sense is they don't want to pause either but understand the global -- some of the geopolitical pressures they are facing and we understand israel is going to militarily dismantle and decapitate hamas. question for the administration and others is after that happens, what is our role, what is the israelis' role in gaza and in outside of israel. these are questions that have to be answered. i know they are trying their hardest to answer them. i'm not an unapologetic and unconditional fan of netanyahu but i think he's right. i think a pause without being agreement on both sides doesn't allow us to achieve any constructive end. again, those who want to pause on the other side, and i wish we did not show the hamas leader but i guess we have to. >> dana: made big news today. >> i think the fact that that voice is out there just, and we see it, it only inflames and perhaps generates a kind of support that we don't want. i'm not blaming anybody for doing it, but just saying it is a tough thing. but no one, no one, you hear more and more people, no one is calling for the release of the hostages on that side. no arab leaders are calling for release of the hostages. if the hostages were released, my voice might change, and i think others may at least reconsider whether a pause or even a cessation for a period of time would be the right thing to do. imagine if someone took 6500 americans hostage, equivalent, when you look at 235, we are 35 times bigger than we are, and killed 50,000 of us. no american president, no united states congress, perhaps with the exception of a small minority would be saying don't go in with great force. >> dana: the other thing is, the speech that nasrallah gave, kayleigh, the speech was like preparing for the super bowl with the pre-game show, they show soleimani and brought up the marine base barracks in the 1980s and taunted america and blamed it on the united states but then said we didn't have anything to do with it. >> kayleigh: it's ridiculous. leader of hezbollah saying the attacks will continue. we need resolve, clarity, strategic clarity and we are not getting any from the biden administration. i spoke with a former colleague of mine, general keith kellogg, back in 2019, 1 american troop who died because of an iranian proxy attack. he said that was met with force within two days. then at the u.s. embassy, they were worried it was coming under attack, they were burning documents, he got president trump on the phone at 3:00 a.m., president trump said get soleimani. within two days, he was dead, trump got out, said 52 iranian targets will be hit and back channelled through the secretary of state, mike pompeo, through the swiss, next up was kohlmeini. and within ten days, the entire situation deescalated. we need strength, we need action. >> dana: humanitarian pause, a ceasefire, will in hamas brokered in 2003, 2007, 2008, 201 several times, they broke it, so it's difficult for the israelis to harold's point, in terms of the atrocities, the grief and the resolve they are feeling to have the united states be saying well, you really need to be careful about civilians. as if the israelis didn't know that. they know that. >> backdrop of the reality that war is hell, and i think, i'm certainly not suggesting i would be alone at this table or anyone watching as well, don't feel for the citizens of gaza, but again, the reality is war is hell, so what would a pause, what would a ceasefire accomplish? hamas has not put forth terms or conditions, have not set forth demands. what do you hope to do? allow more from gaza escape the area, that's also not happening outside of a trickle today, like 800 people were let into egypt today. so if you took a pause, you took a cessation, you know how many demands are on the table to meet, you don't have refugees to escape gaza, what would be different at the end of the ceasefire. only thing different is a victory for hamas. greg gutfeld. >> greg: kill the peace of [bleep], the first question i asked you when this all began, how should the viewer digest this overwhelming and relentless barrage of news about one horrible despicable act. you have to keep it simple. this is -- this is to help the viewer. do not let the media confuse or complicate what is a very, very simple story. despicable act took place that requires decisive action. that's the end of the story. and we need to be reminded of that every single day. this attack on october 7th crossed the line that exists apart from anything before it. so context is no excuse for terror. history is no excuse for terror. the media has become contaminated. there is no proportion -- think of the catch phrases you are hearing, there is no proportionality when it comes to mutilating children and raping women in masses, what the other side keeps saying. collective punishment, talking about the history of unrest or calling gaza open air prison, the goal to use the phrases is to preserve the free punch against israel. your goal is to -- your goal as a viewer is to keep it simple, don't think about this other than what happened on october 7th. you wanted epiphany, tom was on the show last night, both in high school around the same time in the 80s or 90s, you never heard about the israeli-palestine conflict in high school, and then you got to college and that was all you heard. that was where this package was delivered. it suddenly became everybody's problem. you were made to believe that if you weren't the recipient of this information from the shouting activists, there was something wrong with you. you had to be, you had to take a stand. you had to be part of this conflict. you have to realize the media comes from the same place that amplifies the conflict. they are being groomed for the historical justification of terror, which is why you have to ignore them. they are not reliable. bring up another point, related to this. look at all the major problems today, all have one thing in common. the journalists don't understand it. you talk about the debt, the middle east, the border, you talk about crime, seems like all the issues are way too hard for them to understand. so instead what they do, they overcomplicate it, that's their job. that's -- so, and they rely on other people's opinions. again, one simple thing. for you at home, keep it simple. all that matters is what happened october 7th, and what israel is going to do as a decisive action, all this other stuff, if a protestor is yelling at you on the street you can say i don't care, that's not my issue. have a lousy day. >> dana: decent people know who the good guys are. >> greg: people at home are seeing this every day and adding it like a game of jenga, am i supposed to care about this, about that, oh, here, what about iran, what about hezbollah. no, no, no, no, no, no, october 7th, decisive action, get on with your day. >> dana: do democrats have secret plans to replace president biden in 2024? ♪ i

(music ends) >> looks like some neek -- sneaky democrats are working behind the scenes to send joe biden to a retirement home of his choice. members of his party are quietly jockeying to succeed biden in 2024, if he does bow out. some are beefing up political organizations going to early presidential primary states and embarking on resume building foreign trips. probably explains why gavin newsom was in china and plowing into children. this was a charge, not a block, and it was embarrassing. you would think kamala is the shoe-in to replace biden, check out this headline from the messenger, she tries another reboot to win over a skeptical public. like what, the millionth reboot, and it ends once she gets in front of a microphone. >> one of the greatest threats to democracy is mis and disinformation. the fact of mis and disinformation is not new but what has happened with the evolution of technology is mis and disinformation can spread quickly and with a.i. in particular can take on a form that makes it very difficult for the receiver of that information to distinguish between fact or fiction. >> i don't know what we just heard. i think it was about a.i. harold, newsom, ro khanna, cory booker, dean phillips, what are they going for 2024? >> harold: anyone to do a quiet campaign for his or her political party will win. best campaigns are bold, loud, engaging, strategic, substantive. these kinds of things happen on both sides. it gets a lot more attention rightly so over the last 1 or 2 cycles because we have third parties and you are able to raise money differently. but i don't suspect that any one will quietly beat joe biden. you have to loudly beat the incumbent in a -- we have not had an incumbent president defeated in a primary, they have been challenged and those challengers have i think weakened them in the general. but i think they are probably -- i'm not naive about this, they are probably believing if something -- if president biden decides not to run for some reason they want to be prepared and looks as if that's what they are doing. >> and dana, the option is, it's not just the primary, there is the outside option as well replacing him at the convention. >> dana: messy, then you have to figure out how to get them on the ballot, also very difficult. dean phillips is the minnesota congressman challenging biden, his first town hall. that did not do well, his first town hall. i encourage you to read up on that, seemed like a doozy. i would like to imagine the democratic governor group chat on text and hey, you go to new hampshire, i'm going to go to south carolina, you go to -- like we have to figure out a way to do this but they are also plotting against each other so like the sub text under the text messages, a fun thing to see. and i think the white house uses the kamala reboots as a distraction for conservative media so you don't focus on the other things. like the economy, or the border, or crime. even though voters are paying attention to all those things. conservative media, you watch kamala's speech, and oh, i got to comment on that, because what was she talking about in terms of a.i. so end on this. biden team says the fundamentals of the race show we are still in a strong position. in my experience, if you are saying the fundamentals of the race are strong, you are really worried about what's happening. romney used to say that, mccain used to say that, they both lost. >> and that's the entirety of the issue, greg. i mean, joe biden will be pressured to leave the race whether it's the convention or beat in a primary, if it's seen that he will lose at a general election. and right now, i mean, to your point, dana, that language being used. >> greg: feels like the plot of succession with the kids jockeying because the dad has a heart problem, they are waiting for the right time. they have to do it all at once. i think you'll use an analogy using air travel to describe joe's presidency. if you are on a short puddle jumper of a flight you never really settle in, right, you keep your jacket on, don't grab a thick book, it's over soon so don't get too interested in the experience, that's joe, right. you need a young president who is going to be on the plane for a while because then he makes sure the experience is livable. my problem with joe for the last three years. your problems he doesn't see as part of your life. he sees them as part of his life and he's nearing the end of it. he doesn't sweat the small stuff, right. i've had a good life. he takes everything in stride, whether it's the border, whether it's crime, whether it's inflation, because all of those consequences, it's, you know, i'm not going to be around for this. we need a president who actually is going to feel the consequences of their policies. we need somebody young in there. >> kayleigh, not just the list of names i read off, kennedy is out there, and a lot of things in the way of joe biden winning the election and republican nominee. >> kayleigh: my goodness, to your point, rfk, jr., if he gets on enough ballots in the right states that, is a deal breaker potentially. look, 6% was the amount of voters who went third party in 2016, when hillary clinton ran. it was 2% in 2020. and 2-1, those voters broke for joe biden. hillary clinton undoing, and enthusiasm, 38% of people say we are voting on joe biden because we like joe biden. 58% say we are voting on joe biden because we hate trump and it flips for trump. nearly 60% say we are voting on trump because we like trump. he is an enthusiasm problem, potentially a third party problem. for all with trump, look at joe biden. a lot of trouble in 2024. >> and nancy pelosi said a threat to our democracy, a threat to our power is threat to

policies. high schoolers from virginia's loudoun county walking out of class to protest the district's policy on transgender bathrooms. it allows non-binary, genderfluid and transgender students to use the school bathrooms and locker rooms, corresponding to their chosen gender. one student calls it a massive safety risk, you think? another says it's an invasion of privacy. keep in mind, this is the same school district that kicked off the fight for parental rights, we all remember, the father of a girl assaulted in a unisex bathroom by a boy wearing a skirt, it was twice he engaged in that behavior. and he was facing jail time for his protest at a board meeting until virginia governor youngkin pardoned him. earlier, youngkin offered support to the students. >> all students must be ensured dignity, safety, privacy, respect, and we have a large group of students standing up saying you are not respecting our privacy and safety. and again, this is a school system that has demonstrated they are willing to hide things when bad things happen. and that is just unacceptable. >> kayleigh: dana, one of the protestors said half the girls feel the same way and they hold the need to go to the bathroom throughout the school day out of fear what will happen. >> dana: i did it in 7th grade the first day and i didn't know where they were and i ran home, i had to go so bad, we lived in rural america, gosh, i'll never forget it. girls, don't do that. trans bathroom policies are wildly unpopular, like 80/20 issue, 80% against having bathrooms that the students are protesting today, and what governor youngkin said when he came in, students will use the bathroom of their school registration. so if you are registered as a boy, registered as a girl, you use those bathrooms. in addition, he said, there are single use bathrooms throughout the schools that other people can use. to me it sounds like a very reasonable compromise. just listen to him. he's a very reasonable person and the left called him today bigotted and hateful, which i think is only going to continue the same. it's like an 80/20 issue, it's not going to change. >> you didn't even have an accident. >>
