>> carley: fox news alert, 360,000 israeli troops are waiting for ordered to invade the gaza strip by foot and tank. the nation's president says there is no mercy in terror and will make sure hamas cannot carry out an attack like this again. >> there is a lot of anger in this country pause people do not understand what we're talking about. there is no excuse to murdering innocent civilianings in any way, any context and believe me, israel will operate and always operates according to international rules and will do the same in this battle, too. >> carley: you are watching "fox and friends," i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. on the ground in israel at this hour, blinken will meet with president herzog, who you just heard speak there and prime

minister netanyahu today and head to jordan to meet with the jordanian king and president of palestine. >> senior leader should from hamas, if you want to look up coward in the dictionary, it is their picture. there is no senior leadership in the tunnel or houses, they are willing to sacrifice their people. i have met the troops in the last several days, their will is strong, their ability is strong. >> todd: trey yingst live on the ground a few miles from the israel-gaza border. trey. >> trey: good morning, israeli officials have been clear about who they are trying to target here, that is hamas leadership. this is not like a traditional operation with gaza, three or four day war and it is over, this will not finish until hamas is destroyed according to benjamin netanyahu. there is exchange of fire overhead, i hear an israeli

drone buzzing off in the distance. we just watched as an interceptor came up and the iron dome. two people were critically injured inside that city where we are heading to next during that rocket barrage. eastern and northern area of gaza targeted overnight. a hamas command center was hit and killed a senior leader of hamas. they are planning to hit a number of tunnels inside the gaza strip. it will be incredibly difficult to pick out targets and execute an operation due to the fact there are dozens, if not more than 150 according to reports, hostages inside gaza. potential american citizens there, israeli civilians and israeli soldiers and israelis don't know where they are, they

could be in the tunnels. hamas released a statement saying we are strong people and will continue making reference to possibility of full -- i spoke to senior hamas official who said the palestinian people will stay and not evacuate the gaza strip. >> todd: i don't know if you got a chance to listen to prime minister herzog, he delivered a stunning statement with regard to the question of, when you send bombs into gaza, you potentially could risk the lives of two million that live in gaza and his response to that, those individuals should have risen up against hamas years ago, not calling them complicit in terror, he didn't go that far. he said, we are in a war, those individuals had an opportunity to attack hamas and did not.

you live there, you have been on the ground in this region for years, what do you make of a statement like that? >> it is more complex than that. there are two million people inside gaza and they can't leave. many want to leave. we know people who live in gaza, someone who used to work as a local producer there, his family still lives in gaza. they would like to leave and go somewhere else, but they can't temperature is not simple and difficult to overthrow an armed group. israelis have been clear, they will hit positions across the gaza strip whether or not there are casualties. these are proper discussions to have, you can't slaughter unlimited amount, it is escalation ladder and not our call to make. the israelis apeer okay with the amount of civilian casualtyings that have occurred inside gaza.

>> carley: they don't want 2.3 million people that israel might not take back temperature is a complex issue. thank you for joining us and breaking it down. bring in former idf combat soldier who served in the border police unit. good morning to you. you just heard trey yingst say this is not going to be a three or four-day war, it will drag on until hamas is destroyed. what are soldiers up against to this lead-up to the ground invasion? >> hi, thank you for having me. i wasn't a combat soldier, i am doing reserve and working as a news anchor here in israel. the entire country is being recruited to fight this war against terrorism. to fight this war against hamas. we have not seen a slaughter like this in israel in 75 years

of israel's existence. this is a second holocaust for us and i think the entire world should join in the fight against this islamic radical terrorist. you reported earlier about the isis flag found in a terrorist bag. i think it is important to understand, this is no different than what isis has been doing in europe. i think we have to stand together and fight hamas. if anyone cares about the palestinians and you are reporting about the situation in gaza, if anyone cares about the palestinians, they should free the palestinians from hamas. they have elected hamas and if they want to see a better future, see a better environment in the middle east, they should not support terror organizations controlling the gaza strip and no different than what is happening in the palestinian authority.

they are using the method, they are paying families of terrorist and educating people to go murder jews. tell me how us as jews, as israeli, only democracy should react to this horrors that we've experienced in the past week? >> todd: you are both a former soldier and a journalist. what is the latest you are hearing from the frontlines this morning and when, when do you think the ground assault from idf will begin? >> at the moment, we don't know when it is going to begin or how the idf would operate in this situation. all i know is israel is united to fight and fight hard. we've heard prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying on the press conference that he and us as a country will chase every hamas terrorist, every hamas

member. we will chase them down. after seeing the horrors of what we experienced on the recent saturday of them butchering entire families, lighting up in fire houses, families, beheading people, raping women, i've never seen anything like that and i've been through so many wars in israel, second lebanon war. rockets with lebanon, never seen anything like that. this is just despicable and i think the entire world should unite with israel in the war in what we're seeing from israel. israel is the spearhead in the war of terrorism and any country who would just not look at what is happening now will get that in their backyards. when you see the people after 9/11 cheering palestinians in the street, this is no different than we are seeing now, no

different from calls in sydney of pro-palestines chanting, gas the jews, this is horrible and i think the world need to stop it now, because you will not care about what is happening in israel. >> carley: i want your reaction to this, because you are a journalist yourself. did you happen to hear the press conference with president herzog, he was taking questions from the international journalists and it was hostile. what do you make of that? >> i think the world should wake up and understand what israel is experiencing and time and again and covering how the international media is treating israel whenever there is a terror attack. always talking about the palestinian side when we are the democracy who is getting hurt by terrorists. i think it is a shame that the international media time and

again finding excuses for butchering jews, for murdering jews, this is no different than what isis done in europe and in africa. i think it is pure antisemitism to keep finding excuses to why it is okay to murder jews, despicable. >> todd: it was embarrassing display from the foreign pres. we appreciate your insight, thank you. israeli troops are preparing for ground invasion into gaza, one of the most densely populated areas of our world. >> carley: talking to another idf soldier who is stationed along the israel-gaza border. don't go anywhere. >> this is devastating. we know this terror organization for many years and our country been many times in the gaza strip and had to confront these terrorists. we could never imagine this kind

end to the hamas terror group at a fiery press conference the last hour. >> civilians not involved, it is not true. they could have risen up and fought against that evil regime which took over gaza murdering family members. >> carley: an idf soldier, veteran and former combat soldier stationed on the gaza border in the brigade and joins me now. good morning to you. those words from the president of israel herzog talking about the palestinian people and saying they could have risen up against hamas years ago, do you share that csentiment? >> people are pushing propaganda and advertising everything on social media because they want

to inspire and find youth to join hamas and join what they are doing and what their cause is. they have been doing this for a long time and keeping this moving. and there is a specific reason they are advertising online and showing what they are doing and being paraded as heroes to influence young people toin jo the cause and have soldiers. >> carley: what will it take to root hamas out? >> there has to be unity amongst people in the world. i joined as idf lone soldier, i'm american. >> carley: what is a lone soldier? >> interesting amount of people around the world join the army just to volunteer. they combat like an american, like israeli. it is to bring motivation to the soldiers. when i was drafted, there were 53 other countries of lone

soldiers that came. people jewish, not jewish, people that came to israel to draft just to serve and that is really what the unity of the jewish and nonjewish world is, everybody is unifying. >> carley: you grew up in new jersey and that is what a lone soldier is, you are an american but you have strong faith and decided to join idf, which is admirable. prime minister netanyahu says isis will be destroyed, we will do that with hamas and we are seeing that some hamas soldiers had isis flags on their uniforms, there are images of that. i am sure that doesn't come as a surprise to you or does it? they are both terrorist organizations, but what is significance of this? >> i find different fractions across the u.s. and middle east.

isis fractions are going to pop up if they are going to be vilified and shown they are popular. isis is coming back in this regime. hamas is coming back, we are seeing hezbollah, taliban, different places starting to pop up and it will happen over and over again. the key is the unity of and what i found interesting is the people in all these locations have unification. more unity, we will defeat the villains. >> carley: what about in the united states? are you worried this could come back at home? >> i am worried and i have two young kids. end of the day, living in fear is not the way to overcome evil. stepping up as leaders is only way to overcome this.

statements in support of palestinians. this is what they have been taught to do. the ceos wouldn't send blind checks, they use power of purse to demand schools stop hiring marxist professors and stop establishing fake fields of study like crt, where this is stemming from. >> todd: take a step back and answer, what is happening in families? i think that is a broader issue. why are college students in the united states of america, merely 22 years removed from 9/11, siding with terrorists in this conflict? >> i actually don't think it is a familial issue. i am upset at the student statements for two reasoning. they claim to support

palestinians, nor do they condemn actions of hamas who unleashed hell. this terrorist group should be easy for students to condemn and they haven't. they are using marxist language to equate palestinians with blm or indigenous rights, this is coming from the school. marxist inspired classes and departments, they learn everyone can be split into two groups, oppressed and oppressor. they view as oppressed and excuse violence in the name of writing equity. this is marxist behavior coming from universities, not normal american families and if ceos want to do something about it, use power of the purse to make change in the university system. >> todd: quick follow-up, you mentioned marxism, do you think

this is people who want to bring down america and atact judao christian values in this nation? >> yeah, i think that is the whole purpose of marxism in general. this is godless idiology that want to rip western civilization and christian values from this country. that is the purpose of it. if we're going to stop it, university system spread poison into all aspect of american life, we have to address universities. >> todd: children who have never had consequences for their actions, when presented with consequence, they fold like a lawn chair. evita, thank you, we appreciate it. hundreds of people who attended the music festival on saturday still missing. >> carley: one woman tried to

children. >> lucas: israeli defense forces tweeted this video showing an isis flag. hamas is genocidal terrorist organization, hamas is worse than isis. overnight israeli air force carrying out airstrikes killing a naval operative in the brigade. his home is used to store weapons and used to carry out against israel. hamas said that is where they are keeping dozens of hostages and potentially american hostages, as well. tom cotton says hamas has to be destroyed to make sure the terrorist group can never carry out attacks like this again. >> carley: lucas tomlinson live in washington. thank you. the shocking video of people

much, so she went with a broken leg. she sold her ticket and bought another one and she went. >> carley: why do you think hamas targeted this music festival? >> actually because it was with all those people, they were like 4000 people. >> carley: an easy target and they didn't see it coming. >> yeah, it was an easy target. maybe worst thing to say, maybe there were soldiers, we will understand because we are used to it for like 75 years, but women, babies, children, i can't even -- >> carley: i know what you meet, it is not soldier on soldier, it is soldier on child and infant and innocent women, older women. >> killed women, raping women and they need to be ashamed of

"does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works."

my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you.

shrapnel this single rocket caused. warn our viewers, slightly graphic thing on the ground, important part of the story, you see the pool of blood there. one person was injured, they are still alive. coming back over here, it is fluid situation, todd and carley. it is something that israel is working with day and night trying to defend rocket attacks. they continue to strike targets along northern and eastern part of the gaza strip. >> carley: israel is still taking incoming fire. trey, thank you for that update. we appreciate it. national security council spokesperson john kirby refusing to answer why biden administration is not increasing domestic oil production. >> you have countries profiting off oil that don't like israel or don't like america. >> we don't want to see iran be

able to do much of the same, which is why we're putting pressure on them. why not increase oil production here? >> again, i don't have any announcements about that. >> todd: cheryl casone, it is a logical question to ask. >> cheryl: it, history taught us this is what happens when you have destabilized middle east. markets are bracing for this. crude is over $84 a barrel, u.s. domestic contract. brandt is the global contract. the energy agency put out a report and say basically right now oil market is fraught with uncertainty and we remain on tender hooks. you may not see boost in oil this morning, you will see this as the story plays out. it is not just about gaza and israel, it is lebanon, syria, jordan, the entire region,

egypt. this is a bigger story. edward lawrence was right to ask the question, this will impact sooner rather than later americans at home. we will get cpi this morning, consumer price index, that is the energy story. prices are up, they will keep going up forern ms. gas tanks will be expensive to fill. >> carley: there is social media controversy this morning. >> cheryl: there is. a lot of videos out there online, a lot is disturbing and difficult to watch. an actor from "vampire diary" is an activist and he had been posting tough to watch videos, but our jewish friends have said don't look away. he is not looking away and joined you earlier because he has instagram account shut down

and remember, meta owns instagram run by mark zuckerberg. here is what he told you guys. >> i think people need to understand that hamas and pro-palestinian propagandist are good at manipulating social media. the narrative wants to keep the group like hamas in the victim's chair. what they do is try to share information that present israel as the bad guy and any alternative message that challenges that current status quo, they want to shut down. >> sherri: meta released a statement saying our team is working to keep the platform safe, take action on content that violates local law and coordinate with fact checkers to limit spread of misinformation and we'll continue this work as this conflict unfolds. there are many stories online of videos being doctored that are

old isis videos that are being used as propaganda. word of caution on what you see online. again, i point back to the issue that our jewish friends are saying, don't look away. bari weiss was on with dana perino and bill hemmer and i was moved, she said in the holocaust, nazis wanted to hide this, hamas wants it posted and will live stream everything they can. we expect to start seeing hostage videos. use caution. companies are in a -- it is a conundrum. how does silicon valley handle what is coming out of the middle east. >> todd: at the least, don't appear like you are choosing sides, especially the side humanity is not on. thank you.

we'll get more information every single day. >> florida congressman greg steube joins me now. you are an army vet and understand army logistics, how do we rescue these 17 plus or minus people assuming they are still alive and congressman, should we send in u.s. special forces to do so? >> absolutely, if they are being held hostage by terrorist regime. it would be unamerican not to do that we have not receive information that that is a plan. we should go in and rescue american citizens, the main challenge, do we know where they are or where they are being held? i am not privy to the intel, i hope intelligence folks and dod are doing everything they can to rescue american citizens

captured by hamas. >> carley: i want your reaction over something bernie sanders said, he said targeting of civilians, denial of food and water is serious violation of international law and will harm innocent civilians. >> look how far we have fallen as a nation where democrats are siding with terrorists who just murdered over a thousand israelis and americans beheaded children. israel responds in kind as they should. i 100% support our ally and they need to do everything they can to push back on terrorism and i commend netanyahu, one of the

few world leaders that is acting like a world leader. we don't have that in the white house right now, we still have americans stuck in afghanistan for crying out loud, i am glad we have a leader in israel, i am sad we don't have that type of leadership in the united states. >> that statement from bernie sanders, especially in light of the fact he is jewish, i read that three times thinking i was reading it wrong. >> carley: another question about the hostages. do you think blinken is in israel right now meeting with palestinian president. do you think diplomacy getting back through diplomacy is an option? >> absolutely >> no, absolutely not guilty. thornhill tore is a terrorist organization and they've decapitated babies and are posting this thing online. we should be using the full force of the military to get our people out and we should be using whatever we can to help the israelis to push bag on

terrorism they're experiencing in gaza and it's war. there'll be collateral damage and people like ourselves in the military try to minimize collateral damage and do operations and missions and dealing with this type of threat and this type of terrorism, you have to push back strongly and defend your people. >> all eyes on dc and the house gavels in at noon and house republicans selecting steve scalise as their speaker in a private meeting yesterday. what did this get wrapped up? is steve scalise the speaker once it gets wrapped up and does steve scalise have your vote? >> that's a great question. i think at noon today they'll recess again. if you just read different members posts on social media and what different reporters are reporting and between 12, 15, 20 members not supports scalise on the floor. if you go back, just take one step back, there was 96% of the conference that supported kevin mccarthy. 4% took him out and we're in the

current situation where scalise got 113 out of 221 in conference, barely a majority so we've kind of taken a step backwards and took out a guy with 96% of the conference support to a guy with barely majority of conference support. i think we're in a worse situation now than we were last week and scalise is going to have to run around and try to garner the support. there's a number of people that are saying they're not supporting him on the floor. i wish we would have stayed in conference yesterday and tried to figure this out instead of breaking conference and everybody going their separate way. >> carley: 20 seconds but does scalise have your vote in >> i supported jordan yesterday and support jordan today and this point i'm supporting jim jordan on the floor. >> congressman greg steube, he has a busy day and with that "fox & friends" begins right now.
