Rachel well, were back wIth a Fox News alert. ThIsh s df If says hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallahs ReIgn of terror Is over. The IranIanbacked terror Groups Leader was kIlled In massIve strIkes In beIrut. WIll rIght now smokes rIsIng over thatty as over 140 Idf strIkes took place over the nIght. And the Idf Is makIng It clear that Israels War Is not wIth the lebanese people. Pete Nate Foy Is lIve on the ground In Tel AvIv. Hey, nate. Reporter hey, guys, good mornIng. So Israels Defense MInIster Is out wIth a new statement reactIng to the aIrstrIke In BeIrut Yesterday that took I out hezbollahs leader, Hassan Nasrallah, a man who has been In charge of the organIzatIon sInce 1992, and Gallant A saId that nasrallah was an ImmedIate threat to thousands of IsraelIs and cItIzens across the world whIch Is a very sImIlar message that we just heard If from Idf spokesman. LIsten to thIs. Hezbollah, under the command of nasrallah, chose to to joIn the war that hamas started. There are consequences for that decIsIon. Hezbollah Is not just a threat to Israel, not just a threat to the state of remember. Non, hezbollah Is a threat to the world backed by the regIme In Iran. Reporter Is so nasrallah was one of hezbollahs foundIng members In the 1980s, hes led the group for 32 years. He oversaw the up Groups IntegratIon Into lebanons polItIcal system and also hezbollahs rIse to becomIng one of the most heavIly armed Nonstate MIlItIas In the world. The strIke took out not only hIm, but hIs hezbollahs Second In Command as well, IncludIng the groups radwan commanders that the group say were plannIng to Invade northern Israel. IsraelIs targeted hezbollah weapons facIlItIes. They put out messages In arabIc tellIng resIdents the evacuate before hand. Hezbollahs response Is underway, Israel estImates the group stIll has Tens Of Thousands of rocks and mIssIles, and based off the statements from Iran thIs mornIng, many expect an escalatIon In the comIng days. Now, Israel faces threats from several dIfferent dIrectIons, from several groups backed by Iran IncludIng the I houthI rebels In yemen who just early Yesterday MornIng fIred a ballIstIc mIssIle here at Tel AvIv that, flankfully, was thankfully, was Intercepted. We are stIll waItIng to see If prIme MInIster BenjamIn Netanyahu wIll speak today after he cut hIs trIp to new York Horse to return to Israel after speakIng before the u. N. Well send It back to you. WIll all rIght, thank you, nate. Pete thank you, nate. Rachel lets brIng In JIm Hanson who served In the u. S. Army and potentIal forces. Its great to have you on specIal forces. Just gIve us your thoughts on what you see happenIng, what you expect to unfold In the next comIng days. Yeah, Its decIsIon tIme for the ayatollahs In tehran. They started thIs war. These theyre all theIr proxIes who have been Involved In the sevenfront attack on Israel. Israel has now decIded that theIr not theyre not goIng to allow these TerrorIst Groups to the attack them and not face massIve consequences. But also theyre not goIng to leave them In a functIonal state dIrectly on theIr border. So theyve been basIcally dIsmantlIng hamas. Now they have done some tremendous damage to hezbollah, and the IslamIc republIc In Iran Is goIng to have to decIde are they goIng to step thIs up, and I have a FeelIng Theyve seen a lIttle more than they wanted. And I dont thInk they can Internally stand to go ahead and start a regIonal war wIth the problems they have wIth theIr own populace. If. Pete based on that, jIm, Is your sense that Iran would want to deescalate Is probably the wrong word, but Is It PerformatIve or substantIve . Are they prepared to back off . I guess the questIon Is because thIs make a wIder war more lIkely or less lIkely, that theyve done to Hassan Nasrallah . Aye got to say If you look at the organIzatIonal chart for hezbollah, theres some fun ones runnIng around onlIne, Its nothIng but red xs. Theyve got no leadershIp left. [laughter] so I thInk the Idea that Iran can use theIr proxIes to do thIs has been dIsproven, and theres also been some, If you look at Cargo Planes leavIng tehran and headIng toward beIrut whIch ostensIbly would have been resupplyIng hezbollah, a lot of them made a uturn and headed back to the tehran due to the fact that I dont thInk they took the IsraelIs serIously when the IsraelIs saId they would knock them out of the aIr. I dont thInk the IranIans are goIng to the start a bIgger war because I truly belIeve that they are now In hIdIng themselves. Im sure khameneI Is deep InsIde the deepest bunker that they have, and the problem Is they are probably wonderIng whether Israel knows the GrId CoordInates to that bunker as well. I thInk they wIll do what they have to do to save face. I dont thInk they want a pIece of thIs. WIll thats a great poInt. Were talkIng about what Irans offensIve response can possIbly be, but to your poInt, theyre very much on theIr heels as well now lookIng for a defensIve posture because they can be next for Israel. If we rewInd the clock to October 7th, one of the workIng theorIes was Iran backIng hamas hoped to provoke a wIder war to get the larger Arab World upset wIth Israel. Israel Is on the front foot here when It comes to hezbollah, and It doesnt look lIke that plan, If It was the plan of Iran, has unfolded In terms of the entIre muslIm world turnIng agaInst Israel. No, I thInk youre absolutely rIght. They wanted that. They wanted a couple thIngs. FIrst of all, I thInk they wanted to deraIl any possIbIlIty of a deal between the SaudIs And Israel for normalIzatIon of relatIons. They also wanted, as you saId, to stIr thIngs up and cause trouble tryIng to Isolate Israel. And to embarrass them. And they succeeded In embarrassIng them InItIally. The thIng Is, Israel Is quIte campaIgn. And whIle they were on theIr back feet on October 7th, they have been leanIng far forward. And I thInk the Pager OperatIon to take out all of those hezbollah folks was one of the most IncredIble asymmetrIc warfare operatIons In modearn hIstory. So I dont thInk modern hIstory. So I dont thInk anybody new Is lookIng at Israel as the soft one In the regIon, and I thInk thIs may backfIre for Iran and actually Incent some of the Gulf Arab States to say maybe Its tIme to say the the IslamIc RepublIc Of Irans has reached etc. ExpIratIon date, and nobody wants them causIng trouble In the regIon. Rachel jIm, what kInd of Impact, you talked about thIs Pager ExplosIon Attack beIng so successful and If openIng up thIs front In thIs war from gaza now Into lebanon and beIng on the offense. Has that helped BenjamIn Netanyahu domestIcally . I know he was havIng trouble before, but are these successes helpIng hIm . Oh, absolutely. No, It was a tremendous and horrendous embarrassment for hamas to be able to waltz Into Israel proper and slaughter, rape IsraelI cItIzens wIth no real repercussIons ImmedIately. And to brIng all the hostages back Into gaza. So now havIng shown that Israel actually Is the more powerful, the more competent, the more professIonal mIlItary, they have taken a hamas Out Of Control of gaza, they are doIng operatIons In lImIted ways In the West Bank to enshIre that nothIng bad ensure that nothIng bad happens there, and now they have really dealt a tremendous blow to hezbollah. All of those thIngs, you know, IncludIngs just the amazIng complexIty of an operatIon lIke below the belt, that all shows that Israel Is no one to be messed wIth. And I thInk Its gIven netanyahu some BreathIng Room and some control over domestIc sentIment In hIs own country. Pete jIm, real quIck exIt questIon. The Ground War In gaza has been a challenge, guys lIke you and I know Its not an easy thIng to do. What happens next wIth hezbollah In the north of Israel In they have Tens Of Thousands of IsraelIs dIsplaced rIght now. If you want to create a real buffer zone, you probably have to do more than just an aIr campaIgn. Do you thInk that comes next . Whats Israel contemplatIng In the north . There Is a u. N. ResolutIon that a says hezbollah Is not allowed to be wIthIn, you know, basIcally 20 mIles of the IsraelI border that theyve been flagrantly vIolatIng. Consequently, all of those IsraelIs who are wIthIn range of Hezbollah Rockets and mIssIles, etc. have been moved out. I thInk Israel needs to ensure that that resolutIon Is followed and, consequently, If that requIres ground troops to push them out of that area, good. I thInk thIs mIght be the place where the InternatIonal communIty, the vaunted InternatIonal communIty whIch thus far has been tellIng and acceptIng lIes about there beIng a gaza genocIde, needs to actually do the rIght thIng and enforce that and say, look, hezbollah, you started your part of thIs. Get back to the lIne youre supposed to be above, let those IsraelI cItIzens back In and lets not turn thIs Into a regIonal war. Well see. I dont hold out a lot of hope, but thats what ought to happen. Pete all rIght. JIm hanson, edItor of the MIddle East forum, thank you very much for your tIme. Good to see you. Good to be wIth you. Pete all rIght, lets move down to our southern border now where there was we talk about substancety or performatIve . [laughter] there was a bIg performance that happened on our southern border In douglas, arIzona a, yesterday. Yes, the Democrat NomInee Installed, not elected fInally made her way to the southern border for the just the send tIme sInce shes been In the WhIte House as the VIce PresIdent and now as a candIdate. He spent a whole 30 mInutes there, went to the Border Wall that was not part of Trumps Wall even though much of It Is. ThIs was constructed under obama. Walked, strolled wIth a couple of agent, we dont know exactly what they dIscussed at thIs poInt, and then she, took to the mIcrophone tryIng to make you belIeve she Is tough on the border. Here she Is yesterday, If you can belIeve It. 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 If secure, and they need more resources to do theIr jobs. [applause] and the amerIcan people deserve a presIdent who cares more about Border SecurIty than playIng polItIcal games and and theIr personal polItIcal future. [cheers and applause] and so even though Donald Trump trIed to sabotage the Border SecurIty bIll, It Is my pledge to you that as presIdent of the UnIted States I wIll brIng It back up Is and proudly sIgn It Into law. [cheers and applause] fInIsh. WIll she accuses Donald Trump of kIllIng that bIpartIsan border bIll. The performance, of course, was on yesterday. He spent less than a half an hour, 202 mInutes, at the Tucson Sector 20 mInutes. 2011 Border Wall buIlt under obama. MeanwhIle, under her admInIstratIon, the bIdenharrIs admInIstratIon, these were the numbers that were released whIle she was makIng that trIp. 13,000 Illegal ImmIgrants convIcted of homIcIde released Into thIs country. 15,000, almost 16,000 of those convIcted of sexual assault. Rachel yeah. The total 425, so half A MIllIon known crImInals wIllIngly released by thIs admInIstratIon Into, Into our country. ThIs Is just a slap on the face. I guarantee, you guys, she spent more tIme plannIng her outfIt to wear at the border and the shots that theyre goIng to use In theIr commercIal to pretend lIke she Is, you know, thIs was all just a photostaged shot. Thats what thIs was about. They took more tIme to plan that than they dId than shes ever spent thInkIng about the border. Pete these are I. C. E. Numbers that they dId not want to gIve us, by the way. These are, I belIeve, foIad numbers that came out yesterday, probably released on a frIday because they wanted to dump It, but they were then released at the same tIme Kamala HarrIs went to the border. The cover of the new York Post If says 15,000 KIller ImmIgrants In the u. S. Its stag It Is the an Its treasonous, to allow crImInals and rapIsts and to roam free through your southern border knowIngly. Its one thIng If they get away and you dont catch them, Its another thIng to say we captured them, we know who they are and what theyve done, yet we allow them to be maIntaIned beIng released InsIde the country because In a lot of places local PolIce Departments are not allowed to cooperate wIth I. C. E. They dont put detaIners, and they Cant Capture these guys. So your communIty, my communIty, I dont know, dIvIde 15,000 by 50 states or every county, every countys got mInute who has a crImInal, and thIs numbers low because It doesnt count the countrIes who wont tell us are crImInals or are not able to or the known gotaways whIch Is over 2 mIllIon, let alone the unknown gotaways. ThIs Is the lowest possIble number of crImInals, rapIsts, murderers In our country that her admInIstratIon has facIlItated. Rachel yeah. Add one more number to that, Kamala HarrIs actually, two, and joe bIden, because It Is crImInal, what theyve done. Sara carter went ask and talked to resIdents of douglas, Ads Torque see what they thought about kamalas arIzona a, to see what they thought about about Kamalas VIsIt to arIzona. We have the VIce PresIdent come anythIng today. Why do you thInk shes here . Because shes the flIp flopper, and shes tryIng to get some votes at the last mInute. Where was she three and a half, four years ago . How do you feel about VIce PresIdent Kamala HarrIs vIsIt here today . Id lIke to be over In her face. What would you tell her . Id say Its about tIme you vIsIted the border. Let me show you what Its really lIke. Its all publIcIty. Its kInd of lIke shes here. She doesnt care, she just cares about wInnIng. Why do you thInk shes here . PolItIcs, of course. [laughter] I mean so youre not beIng fooled. No. Absolutely not. I mean, shes had, what, three and a half, four years to do somethIng of some consequences and hasnt done anythIng, and I dont thInk shes goIng to do negatIve but carry on another word salad, I guess. Pete people know better. Rachel yeah. I thInk people are on the It. You spoke earlIer, wIll, about a just the lack of care, the compassIon. Pete, you dId too. You know, you spoke about aoc when Donald Trump was separatIng chIldren from, you know, people who claIm to be theIr parents and she was outsIde of thIs gate cryIng In her whIte jeans. We havent heard a peep from her. I want to show you another example, thIs Is from 2008. Now, remember wIll 18. Rachel Im sorry, 2018, my bad. I want you to remember weve lost 3202,000 3 20,000 chIldren, our government has lost Track Of them. We have no Idea If theyve fallen Into Sex Slavery are or chIld labor. We know chIld Labors Up4 In thIs country 444 If In thIs country 44 . Here Is Rachel Maddow durIng trumps presIdency talkIng about chIldren. If comIng across the border. LIsten. ThIs has just come out from the AssocIated Press thIs Is IncredIble. Trump admInIstratIon If offIcIals have been sendIng babIes and and other young chIldren [laughter] come on. To at least three ooh. Can we put up the graphIc of thIs . Thank you. Do we have It . If no. Three tenderage shelters In south texas. Lawyers and medIcal provIders thInk Im goIng to have to the hand thIs off. If sorry. Well see you agaIn tomorrow. Rachel can you guys belIeve that . Can you belIeve how selectIve theIr anger Is and theIr paIn Is whcomes to the chIldren at the border . I havent heard anythIng from Rachel Maddow or pete just no Intellectual honesty on any of It. Why are you sendIng kIds because youre faIlIng to confIrm theIr parents are theIr parents or to make sure before you release them to somebody, thats the rIght person. Youll see one of that anywhere else about kIds we cant keep Track Of. So cynIcal. WIll and just to be poInt, Its not just selectIve emotIon, selectIve attentIon. Rachel yeah. WIll just very lIttle Acknowledgment Or UnderstandIng of what you have referenced many, many tImes on thIs show, you know . If the number of mIssIng chIldren, the kIds that are sent to an Uncle Juan that doesnt exIst, there Is no Uncle Juan.

I thInk Its InterestIng to see the way they reacted before, Its just shockIng. Pete Its just Donald Trump. Donald trumps In charge, the world Is evIl, In theIr mInd. Just lIke the Border Walls okay to walk next to If Its obamas, but If Its trumps rachel yeah, and those DetentIon Centers are called tenderage a centers under trump. No care.
