during an idf if operation in gaza earlier today. pete: all four for abducted during the assault on the nova music festival on october 7th. will: madeleine rivera joins us now. >> reporter: good morning, guys. that s right. after 246 days, 4 more hostages are back in israel, they are a 26-year-old, 41-year-old and 27-year-old, all of them kidnapped from the nova festival. the israeli defense forces said they are in good condition and are now undergoing more medical evaluations as they are reunited with their families. there are reports of people near the hospital cheering and celebrating their freedom, you can hear them there. and this touching moment shows one of the hostages reuniting with her father after eight long months in the hands of a hamas. a spokesperson for the idf says they conducted this rescue mission in daylight in two separate buildings deep inside gaza. israeli forces say they have been preparing for this rescue mission for if weeks and underwent intensive training. israeli president herzog saying on, and, on behalf of the entire people of israel, i thank the decision -- irk df, the israeli security agency, the israel police and israel s national counterterrorism unit for if an impressive and courageous rescue operation and wish for the immediate return of all of the hostages to their families. there are still 120 israeli hostages held by hamas in gaza, 433 of whom -- 43 of whom have been declared dead. will, pete and rachel. pete: i want to the know so much more about this. apparently, it was a hamas-controlled area, maybe even an ad a hoc area, but if they ve been training for weeks, means they have pretty solid intel. four found alive this far along, one of which is that young lady, one of the faces of -- rachel: yeah. who could forget that image of her on the back of that motorcycle and to see her -- pete: we. that s the girl from the back of the motorcycle. rachel: that s exactly her. this is a remarkable rescue. the images of her with her father, it appears to be, i think must bring a lot of joy to the entire nation. listen, this -- however you feel about this war, there are lots of people who have lots of feel beings about this war, these are innocent civilians. everyone should be rejoicing for them. will not just joy, but open. -- hope. i can imagine there s been a level of despair and resignation if after these many months. the likelihood of survival has gone down to a -- rachel: some of them are american, by the way. americans and and babies, children. pete: if sure. it also makes me think the israelis probably have a lot more intelligence at this point about precisely who is alive. maybe the general locations of with are they are. so when these negotiations are ongoing, we talk about it, they probably have a pretty good sense of what their really negotiating over here. thankfully, in this case that intelligence was so robust, they were -- you ve got to imagine hay maybe even had somebody on the inside. we ll see. we re going to get some guests, i m sure, for tomorrow morning that will unpack a lot more of this, but brave men and women going into harm s way to capture,s as you said, rachel -- rachel: these are innocent civilians. listen, this conflict, there have been innocent civilians on both sides, and that s why temperatures are high. lots of innocent civilians. these paris -- pete: there are lots of innocent civilians, but a hamas is the one that brought it -- rachel: i m not, i m not debating that. pete: -- brought it on themselves. rachel: these are beautiful images that we re getting right now of hostages that we weren t sure were alive, and thousand if we know they are and returned to the their families, and we re very joyful for that. will: well, a bit of a shift in american politic things as we approach election year 2024, and that is that donald trump is on the west coast. he s met a lot of success in not just fund raising, but in endorsements. in newport beach, california, today after silicon valley where, in a a fund raiser hosted by david sacks, raised over $12 million from silicon valley entrepreneur. and then david sacks endorsed donald trump. watch. >> yes. i think there s no comparison between the cognitive abilities of these two mening s. -- men. i think what we saw last night from president trump is he was very sharp, very on the ball. he stayed for something like four hours, he talked to everybody, everyone loved him. and at the same time, you saw biden at that a d-day event, and it looked like he couldn t keep up with whatever he was supposed to be doing there,,, so i just think there s no question about which of these men is cognitively sort of more with it and intact. pete: yeah. you might not -- if you re sitting at home like us saying what, why is david sacks important, or i don t really recognize him, he s got an influential podcast, he raises a lot of money, but he s representative of the center-right republican donor who was very skeptical of donald trump especially two years ago, probably never if would have conceived of being on our air talking about how he s going to host a fund raiser for him. and now he s not only hosting a fund if raiser, but with doubling the amount of money he s raising and raising real concerns about joe biden. for donald trump, that s a great sign that those types of billionaireses are weighing in on his behalf. rachel: yeah. and it s no, it s not a small thing. this was in san francisco, as you said, will. they expected to raise $5 million, they ended up with $12 million. they expected protests, and it turned out the people outside were pro-trumpers. again, not a sign that suddenly san francisco is pro-trump, but a lot of the energy on the left has been deflated because, listen, it s just not a great time in america, and people see that. he was asked, will, you know, what was it about a, you know this election that these people who might have been on the sidelines have jumped in? he said one was the regulatory environment which is can killing innovation, making it harder for entrepreneurs and investors to do their thing, but also the lawfare. this has scared a lot of people. and i know donald trump has sai, well, if it could happen to donald trump, it could happen to anyone. it s already happening. look what s happened to the pro-life protesters, elderly people who are getting the book thrown at them, getting prison time even though they ve sick. i just saw a list from the fbi, traditional catholics are still on the hate list for the fbi, traditional catholic groups. so the targeting of conservatives is still happening. with. will: yeah. you know, i ve been skeptical that after entering our third election cycle with donald trump whether or not there s anyone if left to win over, that 2024 would be more about motivation of existing bases, would joe biden s base turn out more or donald trump s? and lawfare serving to energize donald trump s base. i will tell you anecdotally knowing a few people out there the in that industry, there are a few people that are going to vote for trump for the first time in 2024. now, how much does that add a up to? i don t know. here s another one. russell brand who, by the way, used to be a huge voice on the left, has now all of a sudden not just become a voice of common sense p but now he s also endorsing donald trumpment watch. if -- donald trump. >> if you care about the moxie, if you care about freedom, i don t know how you could do anything other than than vote for donald trump for precisely the reasons that they claim you can t vote for donald trump. i m starting to think that, no, a greater threat to democracy is this kind of technological feudalism that a tells you that it cares about you and that it s protecting vulnerable people, all the while increasing censorship, increasing the funding of wars, increasing the division between ordinary americans. pete: that s -- when you put it that a way, will, it s a stunning turn of events. will: that s a huge swing from where he was at one time to what he s saying today. if. rachel: but with, will, this isn t about a donald trump and in this case with russell brand. i think there s a lot of people that were on that side that are now coming over, and i think a lot of it started with covid. i mean, when people started to see our government will lie to us, our government is willing to harm children in order if to advance its agenda, you know, whether that was, you know, the interests of big pharma, whether it was to get mail-in voting universal, something the democrats have wanted forever and covid provided the perfect if opportunity. i think there s a lot of that. i want to give you a quote from russell brand. i thought this was interesting. he hasn t just made a transformation politically, he s also made a religious transformation. he has been posting a lot of himself praying, praying the rosary. people speculate he s now become a catholic, but this is something that s really interesting. he said people are so cynical about the increasing interest in christianity and the return to god, but to me it s obvious. as meaning deteriorates in the modern world, as our value systems and institutions crumble, all of us become increasingly aware that there is this eerily familiar awakening and beckoning figure that a we ve all known all our lives within us and around us. of course he s talking about jesus christ. fascinating. pete: it is fascinating. in my year-long bible study, i m in e cleese whereas with tease right now which is written by king solomon, and he writes about having all the riches of the world and yet nothing new under the sun. and ultimately, you know, we are all ashes and dust. you know, nothing in this world is ultimately going to satisfy you, and i think a lot of people are in that a moment. they re looking around and saying there s got to be something bigger. and when you re fulfilled through god if or something greater than yourself, that provides that. clearly, that s been a big role in russell brand s life. rachel: that focus as everything gets crazy and we can t trust anything especially in our government, all that a matters is god and family. and i think millions and millions of people across the world are feeling that in this moment. will: we re going to turn now to your headlines. family confirming apollo 8 astronaut william anders is dead after his plane crashed after washington finish off washington s islands yesterday. ing he and his crew were the first three people to have traveled to the moon although they did not land on it, but he s known for taking this famous photo while in space. andrew s -- anders

[laughter] pete: whoever it is, who s -- lloyd austin has gone along with all the woke garbage lock, stock and barrel. and and milli -- milley did it with him, and he doesn t like the book at all. all the other four-stars, many south america if they re focused on women and lgbt leadership issues in south america while china s gobbling up resources, totally distracted. our pentagon can get back to that with the right leadershipping and the fact that that donald trump knows that and is prepared to take that on is important because we ve got a dangerous world with, a really dangerous world. when you dig into china, will, they are building a military to take us on in 5-7 years. if not sooner. rachel: here in our hemisphere. pete: scarily. will: what institution are you going to take on next? pete: let s go. [laughter] rachel: because he already said he was going to get rid of the education department -- will: i told him which one to go for. california governor gab newsom s proposing a new plan to defund the police just as the state faces a surge in crime. rachel: and we talk to a former san francisco officer, next. ♪ ♪ will: california governor gavin newsom is proposing a new plan to defund the police and the state s justice system whale thl reeling from a surge in crime. the democrat s proposal includes slashing $97 million from the court system and another $10 million from law enforcement. and more than $80 million from the prison system. former san francisco police officer joel hayward joins us now to react. joel, thanks for being with us. it s pretty shocking. i think most of the nation has realized that defunding law enforcement, defunding the criminal justice system has been a massive mistake, and yet in california this is the place we re looking to save money. >> yeah. it s no surprise, i mean, to see this play from gavin newsom. i always say there s no bad teams, there s just bad leaders, and he continues to show up. and we see this though typically, there s always a cycle of hiring surges and then hiring freezes. it probably happens almost every decade, but right now if they ve got a massive budget deficit, and this is where they are look to cut the corners. and if you just look at areas like san francisco where i used to work, i mean, they went from an overtime budget of $25.3 million in 2023 that was projected, and it actually ended up being $81 is million. so they spent $55 million more on overtime, and they still can t curb the crime crisis. they had, like, 200 stores from downtown union square leave. productivity in san francisco is down 555, so what do you think s going to happen when they cut allocation to resources? it s just going to get worse. will: the office spokesperson for golf governor newsom is saying it will not impact public safety or release in the -- result in the release of inmates. cutting costs including through the deactivation of beds. you know, joel, what you kind of described there is a death spiral because part of what s happening in california is a lack of revenue because people are -- businesses, as you point out, but high net worth individuals and also a just regular citizens of california are moving out. we know this. idaho, arizona, texas, they re move being off the states, reducing your revenues. thousand you make it less safe to be in california, this spiral will continue. >> yeah. and what s happened so far? i mean, let s do this, let s increase the gas prices. i think they re, what, $8 in california? let s add a gas tax. even better, let s just take away your gas stoves. none of his solutions are working, and i just saw senator kevin kylie posted that they spent $53 million if on illegal immigrants in medicaid, and and that number is projected to be $3.8 billion in the if next year. so they re doing a lot, obviously, to fund other things like -- san francisco, for another example, the homeless are being offered alcohol. i mean, these are just insane policies and protocols, i mean, where we could be spending our money in a different way. and, you know, i think there s -- if california s going to survive, it s not going to be through law enforcement, clearly. and they re going to need to look for other disruptive solutions, and i think there s people out there -- will: like that? >> they re using drones and out creating other efficiencies with local law enforcement and creating local partnerships, private and public, and that s probably the only way you re going to see actual tangible solutions. and i think the community needs to collaborate and get together because that s the only way. law enforcement in california is not going to save you. clearly, the response times in san francisco pd, they just did a study and for an officer to respond to a violent crime, it s taking almost 10 minutes. it s the lowest in 6 years. will: that sounded like the story we just reported out of connecticut where local neighborhood watches are coming together to try to fill the gap to keep their neighborhoods safe where they weren t able to be supported in that case by law enforcement. if that s the case for california because of a lack of options, we wish you the best of luck. joel, thanks for being with us. >> you got it, thanks. will: hold your horses, janice dean is coming up with a preview of the 156th running of the belmont stakes live from saratoga springs. i hear you have a special guest. >> yes, very exciting. 6:411, is post time. we have got a bit of a freeze, i m not going to lie, we could sew some thunderstorms, but i think for race time it s going to be spectacular. the 1516th belmont takes -- 156th belmont stakes in share toeing baa. don t go away. ♪ -- i m coming at you like a dark horse. ♪ muck are you ready for, ready for, the perfect storm, perfect storm?

>> i ve always been involved in sports and loved sports. i grew up on long island, so i group around belmont park and then being in miami if p it just continued, being in if college around gulf stream and hialeah. i ve always loved the horses and sports, so it s kind of a perfect confluence of events. >> your job is to make people money though. so tell me who your favorite pick is. >> i am -- those who follow he on my podcast and on big noon, whatever else, they know i m really not a favorite player. but here i am going to go to the favorite, sierra leone. i thought he was the best 3-year-old prior to the kentucky derby and he had a rough trip in the derby. he s had a tendency to lug out, is so today they fit him with a different bit, he s got a jockey change, chad brown, this is his home track. you ve got a shorter field, it s kind of put up or shut up for sierra a leone today. i think no more excuses. i do think he will prove he is the best 3 year. >> who s your long snot who s going to make the most money? >> i think resilience. bill mott is the train, pretty conservative, doesn t run horses he doesn t think has a chance to run. ever since adding blinker, the horse has been much more mature and focused. might be a little closer to the front of the pace today, but i think 10 to 1 or so resilience might be someone you might want to put underneath because as a handicapper, as a better, i m looking to make money. so i m going to look for resilience or maybe a seize the gray to finish second. >> how do you do it? to win, box em -- >> play an exacta, give me a $55 exacta a, sierra leone with resilience and seize the gray. 99 with 1 -- 9 with 1, 2. >> someone s writing that down for me. how does it feel to be on this track for belmont? >> it s awesome. i ve been coming here for years, and it s really cool. i m a big advocate of them trying to get the breeders cup -- >> yes. >> so if they can pull this off for the 4-day festival, maybe they can say, come on, breeders. to get a taste before the meal opens up next month, this is great. >> >> second year for fox sports, have they been treating you well? >> it s been great. it s been awesome, fantastic. >> i love it. fox sports tonight, 6:41, but there s racing all day long. we re going to bet on some horse, oh, in about a 151 minutes. >> maybe we have already. >> maybe we have, but i haven t had a drink yet, chris. >> neither have i. [laughter] >> okay. we re going to do that right now. pete, will and rachel. pete: yeah, in 26 minutes, you re good to go. >> oh, it s happening. pete: nobody sets the stage better than you, janice. thank you so much. rachel: wagering expert. bill: will: big noon kickoff. rachel: i had an uncle who was a wagering expert. [laughter] pete: we all do. will: kind of hot on this story this week, there is a new stock exchange being formed in texas to take on the new york stock exchange. they plan to the take registration later this year. the wall street journal writing, new york democrats have long taken wall street for granted imposing punishing taxes and regulations. progressives in albany if recently threatened to revive a hong-dormant stock transfer tax. go ahead, make the texas exchange s day. pete: that s the wall street journal. [laughter] if. will: it s a big story, ask and i know it was big talk this week in texas. rachel: is it going to happen? will: oh, yeah. so they ve raised $120 million, and this is of interesting note, $30 million from citadel, $30 million from blackrock. now, the reasoning for this or part of the reasoning is that all these regulations in place in the new york stock exchange include requirements for board membership. is so this is a pushback on dei and esg policies. and i know in the past we ve talked a lot about blackrock s role -- pete: they were advocates. will: -- in advocating for everything sg policies. blackrock, probably like every other capitalist organization s, ultimate goal is to make money. they rode the esg wave while that was an opportunity to make money. they see now it s not, and they re putting together a new exchange to rival new york stock exchange to get around a lot of these things that have pulled companies away from if making money. and i think this is a real -- you know, we talk about alternative markets. this is a real, this is a real opportunity to put publicly-traded companies on the right path. pete: go, texas. rachel: really interesting development. i hadn t heard about it until you brought it up, but you re right, there s such a back lack. when we heard larry fink talk about all these policies and when it was dei or the climate stuff, he sounds so passionate about it, it s hard to believe that he s sincere in this. but, clearly -- will: $30 million -- rachel: $30 million is a lot of -- pete: i get what s going on here. think place that wants to be its own country has to have its own stock exchange.

because that seems like just from a humanitarian the point of view a terrible situation, really putting children in danger and making the chances that they fall into sex trafficking more likely. >> 100. all the energy, all the -- everything is now going to move to those children, the focus will be to use those children -- rachel: yes. >> -- as puppets for the terrorists and for these cartels. that is horrible. and biden s executive order is a joke. he s virtue signaling. it still allows a million people to come into the country illegally every year if it s enforced correctly. the number should be zero. and so it s really just, it s not going to do anything. and the fact that now it s going to be focused on children, this is, it s just setting up future atrocities. rachel: no, of course. it s horrible. again, i m so curious, like, i m not on the ground in the arizona. i m originally from there, so i m just trying to understand how katie hobbs is managing this politically. aligned with joe biden, she s done nothing to protect the board, and and now she see ises the numbers and9 that the peopld that the people of arizona want border security, how is she navigating this just politically?

biden, that s alive. live my son is the smartest person i know, let s hope that s alive. i knew nothing about hunter biden s business dealings. these cases are prosecuted. i m tired of hearing people say that they are not, this case just has overwhelming evidence in it. and hunter biden is the poster child for why these cases are prosecuted. as they said, he was agitated, he was high strung but he was functioning, remember this was in the military reserves handling a gun until he tested positive. he was driving kids around he was driving all these kids around and participating in foreign business dealings and making tons of money. and the fbi also, remember slow walks these cases were slow walks by the justice department and irs cases, tax cases and two agents testified that he should have been prosecuted for that but they let the clock run.
