John all of this instigated by the brutal October 7 attack on israel from hamas. Jacqui Nate Foy is live in Tel Aviv. Has israel said anything about these explosions . So far they havent, jacqui. Hezbollah has put out two different statements. They say they hold israel fully accountable for injuring fighters and civilians. According to lebanons health minister, eight people have been killed and 2,700 injured after you mention it, pagers carried by hezbollah fighters spontaneously exploded when they received a message. This happened in beirut as well as southern lebanon. Take a look. You can see this from a Grocery Store in a beirut suburb. The pagers that exploded were reportedly a new model brought in by hezbollah in recent months. Hezbollah official speculates to reuters that malware may have caused the pagers to heat up and explode. So far israel has not said anything about these explosions. They happened in several different locations. So the medical response is vast. The Lebanese Red Cross has deployed 130 additional ambulances and over 500 medical workers. This happened after israelly officials said theyre turning their attention to the northern border. The explosions happened as far as beirut, which is 260 miles north of where we are in Tel Aviv right now. So we do know, jacqui, that the chief of hezbollah is not injured as part of these explosions. The son of a Hezbollah Member of the Lebanese Parliament has been killed. According to iranian media, the iranian ambassador to lebanon is injured. His condition is reportedly good and hes expected to survive while hezbollah is already vowing revenge saying israel will receive what they call retribution for these explosions. Back to you. Jacqui wow. Incredible. Thanks, nate. Appreciate it. He is the most threatened man in the world right now. President trump absolutely needs more protection. I think all americans would agree with that. Again, its up to the democrats, the onus is on them to turn down the rhetoric in this country. Theyre repeating that Talking Point because they have nothing else to run on in this election and its shameful. John were awaiting two major live events at this hour. J. D.

Agents in North Carolina and hawaii where he lives are talking to his friends, family and colleagues where they are trying to piece things together. Right now, it doesnt appear Anyone Else was involved in his plans. Plans that included camping out for almost 12 hours in the middle of the night sunday from 1 59 a. M. To 1 30 p. M. Along the fence of the golf course. Location data from the Cell Phone gave them that time frame. Merrick garland in an unrelated event at the Justice Department spoke about what happened briefly.

He is expressing gratefulness the former president is safe. Ronald Rowe Yesterday afternoon, the Secret Service head, said he commend his team who Saw The Gun sticking through the bushes.

The two Gun Charges were quick and guaranteed to keep him in custody than the Meteor Charges are expected to come down from the federal government. John . John thanks, david. Thank you. Jacqui continuing coverage now. The White House is responding to the second apparent Assassination Attempt of former President Trump. Lets go to Peter Doocy live at the White House. Jacqui, a few minutes ago in the oval offers, i had a chance to ask President Biden if democrats need a new Talking Point. Youll see in this clip im about to show, im 99 sure that he fully heard and understood the question. This is how he responded. Thank you, press. Should people stop calling trump a threat with all of these attempts . Nothing but its been a lot of this for the last couple years in the bidenharris instruction administration. Kamala harris said that Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms. With your vote well stop him this november. Trump allies say thats the talk that unstable people are taking the wrong way. You eventually have to conclude the overwhelming majority people say we have to vote against this guy. Theres enough Nut Jobs out there that will take the next step and say this guy is truly evil and dangerous if our Democracy And System of government will be wiped out if this guy wins. I need to take this guy out. Later on this afternoon, Vice President harris will be interviewed by a panel of journalistics in philadelphia. So if she plans to chart a new course with her trump Talking Points, trump rhetoric, we will know very soon. Jacqui . Jacqui thanks, peter. Peter doocy. John lets bring in Florida Republican Congress Woman laura lee. Shes a member of the bipartisan Task Force investigating the first attempt of assassination at Donald Trump. I expect youll include the most recent Assassination Attempt in your investigation as well. The Wall Street Journal said this in an editorial about the security surrounding the former president. Donald trump needs president level security. A second apparent Assassination Attempt called for biden level security. Joe biden said to the Secret Service to give him the full package. Jared moskowitz said if this is the highest, we need more. Its inadequate. Theres not a single american that has faith in the Secret Service. What do you think about this . I think thats right. President trump needs a more elevated level of protection. I dont think hes all the way to the level that Joe Biden has right now. Its clear its warranted in light of the seriousness of these threats against him. One thing that is a common theme is the perimeter of the protection. In both cases clearly that perimeter needed to be larger to keep the president safe. I want to ask you about the rhetoric coming out of the democratic party and peters question to the president. Does the party need a new line of attack in this campaign . Compared to the last attempted assassination, neither candidate with this one pause the campaigning. It resumed the day after. Yet you do have the Florida Attorney General speaking out today about what kind of Cause And Effect this kind of Campaigning Language has had. Lets play that for you real quick. At worst, this is an administration that has said some terrible things in terms of this president and its safety and were seeing the results of that. Yet, Hillary Clinton just last night continues it. Listen to this. We cant go back and give this very dangerous man another chance to do harm to our country and the world. Jacqui your take on that. That kind of rhetoric is just appalling. Its what weve seen levied against President Trump not just in recent weeks and months but for years. Its really time for democrats to take responsibility. Its one thing to disagree about policies or disagree about their direction for america. But the way that they talk about President Trump and the fact that they would do so even in the hours and the days immediately following an attempt like this is just shocking. They absolutely need to take responsibility for this kind of rhetoric and what it could do in the minds of somebody that maybe isnt mentally well or healthy. Clearly we need to take this seriously, take the threat seriously and tone down that rhetoric as we go forward. John so lets go to the bipartisan investigation in to the first Assassination Attempt. Senator Josh Hawley released a whistleblowers report. The Lead Agent responsible for the Butler Visit failed a key examination during training to become a secret Service Agent and known to be a low caliber agent. The hospital that trump was taken was poorly secured. That whole day is an utter and complete breakdown of even the most basic security tenants. Theres no question that that day was a breakdown of their entire operation. The planning, the coordination, the communication on the day of the event. That much is absolutely clear. So what we have been doing as a bipartisan Task Force is getting that minute by minute of the days leading up to understand how those failures happened and also how we can prevent them from happening again. Of course, theres been discussion that theres not an adequate number of agents available in this heightened environment. Were hearing about that. One question that we have as a Task Force is, what about the rest of the department of Homeland Security . That is a massive agency. While we may need more secret Service Agents, it doesnt follow that we need to put more money on the problem. We may just need to have a Bet Area Natural Cyst of how to use those resources and how to use the agents and Law Enforcement personnel that we already have in the federal government. Jacqui as i understand its, Senator Hawley has submitted to your committee before other information that he got from whistleblowers. What does it say to you that youre getting information from whistleblowers and not necessarily from the agencies . Are they being as forthcoming as they should be and to that point, is that why Governor Desantis is launching a State Probe . To this point, the Secret Service haas been responsive to our request for documents from them, our request for briefings from them. We have a long way to go. On the state investigation, its entirely appropriate that the state would have a parallel investigation of State Crimes and Attorney General moody would be doing that. That is also happening in pennsylvania. The State Police in pennsylvania are investigating crimes there. Our job here in congress is very separate and apart from that. We have a responsibility of oversight of secret Service Investigation of the event in butler, pennsylvania. At The End of the day, we have a responsibility to consider Funding And Resource questions that may flow from this. John have you surprised that we have not heard from mayorkas on this event . Absolutely. Its a stunning failure. John i pushed a button. At The End of it, its his responsibility. Hes been silent, hes not come out and vocally called for an increase in resources that they will do everything conceivable to make sure that we keep President Trump safe. Thats exactly what needs to happen from secretary mayorkas. John thanks for joining us. Good for you to come in today. Great to see you. John hope to see you soon. We have a stacked lineup of guests with analysis out of florida. Ashley moody will be joining us with Paul Mauro and Rand Paul. Stay tuned for that.

Theyre urging the public to exercise care in handling mail, especially from unrecognized senders. The indictment alleges between 2008 and the present, combs abused victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his con digit. Jacqui Sean Diddy comes is accused of running a sex racketeering empire. Today the case was laid out against combs who is set to make his first appearance in court next hour. Alexis mcadams has more. Really something in that indictment. Yeah, it took months of investigating to get to this day. The attorneys said there was a lot that went into it. He will be in that courtroom behind me in a short time from now. Investigators say that he abused women, not just physically but emotionally and sexually for more than ten years and got away with it because the people around him hid things. The prosecutors here in new York City say more charges could be coming. This investigation is ongoing. I encourage anyone with information about this case to come forwardnd to do it quickly. Do it quickly as this continues to develop here on the ground. This stems back to 2016. A video was recorded in a Hotel Room. This was in 2016 inside of a Los Angeles Hotel where diddy walked out wearing a towel when he found out his girlfriend was trying to leave. What did he do . He kicked her, threw her to the ground and grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back in the Hotel Room where we dont know what went down. The Music Mogul though, its not the first time investigators say he did something like this. Its a pattern that the feds have continued to find. Watch here. This is a direct quote here from the documents this morning. Combs among other things hit, kicked, threw objects at and dragged victims at times by their hair. These assaults resulted in injuries that took
