4:01 pm
this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. we have breaking news on a number of fronts. an islamic terror attack in brussels kills two swedish nationals with the suspect still on the run. we're going to have an update plus we're going to tell you why this should end any talk of america accepting gazan refugees from this conflict. but, first: [gunfire] [explosion] [shouting] [explosion] >> laura: tonight, hamas revealing they have more hostages than anyone previously knew. reuters is reporting that the terrorist organization says the number is now up to 250, including foreigners. also breaking u.s. troops have gotten ready to go orders from when israel launches a ground incursion into gaza. 2,000 of them will be tasked with advising and providing medical support. officials were clear that these orders are not, not a combat role. but, in just the last hour, fox
4:02 pm
news has confirmed that an additional 2,000 additional marines and sailors are heading closer to israel via the red sea a final destination is unknown at this hour. joining me with all the details from a very busy day john roberts co-host of america reports live from jerusalem. john, what can you tell us tonight? >> laura, good to see you. this latest troop deployment, troop movement more to the point, i think, is the 26 marine expeditionary unit currently in the red sea. as you pointed out, it's unclear where they may be headed. will they go up the red sea to the sue he see canal and into the mediterranean or maybe closer and into the gulf of ache ba city of alat. cover a southern front if you will as part of the deterrence force that already includes the uss gerald ford and uss eisenhower which is also moving into the region. we will have to wait and see exactly where they go. but they are a special operations capable combat ready group. so it could be that if needed,
4:03 pm
the u.s. would be able to put boots on the ground very quickly. not to say though that will be the case. the big question here in israel, laura is when will this ground operation begin? we thought it was going to happen on friday. then, over the weekend, it was announced it was postponed because of weather. and then when it eventually does get underway, which may be later this week. what happens in the north? does hezbollah continue to haciousz the israeli defense forces or does it go all in? if it goes all in, you can bet tel aviv would probably be a maybe point of engagement for hezbollah rockets, which again, is why the u.s. is putting all these forces in the region to try to send a message to hezbollah to keep out. another thing that israelis are talking about in just the last few hours is where exactly does joe biden stand on israel and the right of self-defense? last week joe biden said that the u.s. stands four square behind israel. yesterday on "60 minutes" he said, well, it wouldn't be a good idea for gaza to be reoccupied by israeli forces,
4:04 pm
which raises the question though if you crush hamas, what happens after that? because if there is a power vacuum, laura, as we have learned from history, it's always filled by another strong man to israel may have some tough choices to make if it does crush hamas as to what comes next, laura? >> laura: john, we are just hearing that the idf has launched counter strikes into lebanon. that's just breaking at this hour. we will see where that all goes. this is on a knife edge clearly in israel. john, stay safe there. thank you so much for joining us. all right, the planned ground invasion as john just mentioned of gaza has been delayed since friday but why? the jerusalem post says it's because of the idf hasn't done anything like this in decades and rushing in unprepared could be a very big mistake. so, what intel could they be seeing that is giving them pause? here now to discuss the possibility john ratcliffe, former director of national intel under president trump. john, i know we don't know for sure.
4:05 pm
what do you suspect is going on here? >> i suspect that the israelis are balancing, you know, responding quickly versus responding smartly. laura, everyone knows that there is going to be a ground incursion by the israelis into gaza. and it's sort of like if you are playing chess and you are telling everyone ahead of time where your rook is going on the chess board your adversaries know and will make plans accordingly. >> in this case what israel has to deal with is they have multiple adversaries that are now planning. in the case of hamas the challenges are you have, you know, a group that has already been willing to disregard, you know, international warfare principle of distinction meaning that they are willing to treat civilians and combatants the same and hide among them and use hostages now up to possibly 250 as human shields and they understand that as the number of civilians grow, israel knows that the support that they have in the international community
4:06 pm
and even within the u.s. will fade. so they need to plan for that. and as john roberts just talked about, the challenge is that they have an even more will lethal opponent to the north in hezbollah. unlike hamas, hezbollah has a so he sophisticated fighting force. 100,000 precision guided rockets and drones that have the capability of overwhelming iran's -- i mean israel's primary defense system, the iron dome. and so, you know, i think that the israelis are balancing these many challenges and making sure that when they move that they move in the most strategically smart way possible. >> laura: it's pretty hard though, isn't it? there are two competing factors here. the element of surprise is lost. i mean, you can't have an element of surprise when you are obviously concerned about civilian losses, unlike hamas, which indesvictim matily kills women and children.
4:07 pm
hamsz knows you are coming. meanwhile hezbollah to the north and lord knows what else is going to come into play. >> israel is willing to do what we would do which is try to fight within the the norms of international warfare and your adversaries are willing to disregard those and it puts you at that disadvantage and they know that you are coming. so, you know, it is a tremendous will that. i think that's what the delay is attributable to. >> laura: john, i want to get into the value of our intel going to israel at this point. because there have been some questions about whether information that we had about a potential attack ever made its way to israel. whether we had sufficient intel on this. so there is some new reporting tonight that is claiming that the cia intel on this hamas attack never reached biden saying that they were dismissed as routine.
4:08 pm
and u.s. intel agencies were focused on other international threats, primarily china, russia, iran, and that this strategic shift in priorities may have contributed to a lack of attention given to the intelligence on hamas. so, the cia might be trying to cover it you know what, john, they are saying we said -- we saw this was going to come, and they were distracted with other priorities. it reminds me of what happened before 9/11. i mean, it's similar concerns. >> well, you know, i have talked with folks within the intel community presently that have indicated that unfortunately the biden administration may have redirected or retasked some intelligence assets away from the middle east to ukraine. and i don't know whether that is the case. but, i do know this: you know, laura, we both want the united states to be the ally that israel needs right now. but, what is inescapable is the
4:09 pm
fact that national security adviser jake sullivan was on national tv doing a not so humble brag two weeks ago saying that the middle east has never been quieter and he spent less time on those issues than any of his predecessors in the last 20 years and that is a whiff of epic proportions because, obviously, just two weeks later the israeli people have suffered the worst atrocity since the holocaust. and so, you know, the role that the u.s. should be playing, laura, is that our best intelligence enterprise, our human intelligence, our signals intelligence, our geo spatial intelligence should be working hand in glove with the israelis to support them in what they need but i think there are real questions about our own intelligence and assets and capabilities as directed by this administration. >> laura: i'm going to get into that in the angle the competence of the united states to even be involved here at some level. john, invaluable insight. thank you. iran is warning that preemptive action could be taken in the next few hours by the so-called
4:10 pm
leaders of their resistance and that there will be consequences for anything israel does in gaza. as we just mentioned, the idf announced that they launched attacks in lebanon tonight. joining me now is former u.s. navy seal who has trained idf special forces and also running for congress in virginia. cammeron, what could this response look like given what you are seeing now with u.s. closer to deployment even in an advisory capacity? >> yeah, good evening, laura, thank you for having me again. so, what we're seeing right now is the united states prepare some of its assets to be able to put resources on the ground to aid our israeli brother in arms. israel has a very calculated and measured response that they have to initiate here. with gaza, it's such a highly and densely compacted area that combat warfare in a close combat urban setting is a very difficult endeavor to undertake. so what i have heard is all the information on the ground is that they are doing everything they can with their intelligence
4:11 pm
services and with all their other technological advantages to minimize the catastrophic loss of life. what we have also seen in the north is israel trying to act as a strong deterrent against any further aggression by other nations or partners that would seek to infiltrate themselves into the conflict and/or provide aid and stretch israel's resources thin. so it's kind of a worst-case scenario where israel is trying to push off the possibility of a two front warfare while still addressing the concerns found in gaza. >> laura: cammeron, i don't want to steal my own thunder on this, but, given what happened with the afghan withdrawal, and the lack of basic competence on the part of our military leadership, not our men and women from uniform but the people leading them. ohio cold front are you way we provide support is going to be effective that's my concern
4:12 pm
right now given the people that are in charge can't get much right. >> well, the one thing i will say to counteract that point, laura is we do have a significant degree of cooperation between the united states and the israeli military. there are battle drills there are strategic missions and training scenarios that we have conducted full mission profiles that really integrate our forces with theirs and really beautiful fashion. that was one of the unique things that we noticed from going over to israel and training with the idf that engagement liaison work really just paid multitude. i will say our troops are ready, we do have the best military fighting force in the world. i think as a supporting mechanism to what they are doing we can provide resources such as covering fire, artillery, aviation and maritime support. really the biggest role that the u.s. military will play in the region is to deter large scale other state actors from entering this conflict. >> laura: well, we'll see. cammeron, great to see you, thanks so much. now, w what the biden

handle a few short stairs insists that the u.s. can handle multiple wars. >> are the wars in israel and ukraine more than the united states can take on at the same time. >> no. we're the united states of america, for god's sake. the most powerful nation in the history -- not in the -- in the history of the world. the history of the world. we can take care of both of these and still maintain our overall international defense. >> laura: the momentum is deepening military involvement in the united states and a war against hamas. >> expressed a need for ammunitions, precision guided weapons and we're going to continue to do everything we can to provide them the support that they need. region and battle group provides us with a number of options. >> laura: that's just the beginning. as i mentioned earlier defense secretary lloyd austin is
4:19 pm
readying 2,000 american troops to deploy there in nearly 2,000 more are heading to the area. now, that would represent a major escalation of the u.s.' role which means it is probably a good time for us to stop and think how is this going to effect our national security interest in the united states? but, thinking ahead isn't something that people like lindsey graham ever do much of. when there is a chance to throw gasoline on a fire, he has the can and he has the match. >> iran, if you escalate this war, we're coming for you. >> are you effectively poised to declare war on iran? that is very strong language. >> i'm source of funding for hamas and hezbollah. >> laura: did he say he is poised to use military force? someone should tell lloyd austin he is out of a job. of course, it goes without saying that hamas terrorists should be destroyed and we support israel 100 percent. but let's also face facts. if history is any guide our weak

and woke pentagon leadership could actually make matters worse. a disturbing report in today's "wall street journal" contends that our most powerful global adversaries and enemies are already gaining power and advantage because of this situation. hamas-israel conflict is prove ago boon for main geopolitical rivals china, russia and iran have long sought to undermine the u.s. backed international system and are now taking advantage of america's distraction. then these eerie words from the former finish prime minister alexander stub who speaks of a shifting and moving world order. when the u.s. leaves power vacuums someone is going to fill those vacuums. now, last week i pressed the foreign policy adviser to netanyahu about whether china had stepped in to offer any support for them. have you heard any support or received any support from president xi of china? >> we have received support from
4:21 pm
many, many leaders in the free world. there is a long list of friends, allies of israel who have supported us. >> laura: that's a diplomatic answer about china. they are not offering any support. that's not surprising to me the a all. he avoided answering directly but of course we knew the answer. just as it had done with ukraine, china will try to triangulate this chaos. more from the journal. china has embraced the palestinian cause in a way it hadn't done in decades. it pointedly refrained from using the word terrorism as it described the hamas attack much to israel's dismay even though there were four chinese citizens killed by hamas and three more taken hostage. that's according to israeli authorities. the crux of the matter is that justice has not been done to the palestinian people. china calls on all parties to exercise restraint de-escalate regional tensions as soon as
4:22 pm
possible and prevent further expansion of the conflict. >> laura: wow. as for russian the littian rainy foreign minister says russia has huge interest in prolonging the conflict in israel as long as possible calling it a big win for the russians tactically to have america's attention diverted. now, our pentagon hears this and they say they have the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time. oh, really? ukraine? the middle east? and what about if china decides to waltz in to taiwan walk, chew divum and juggle with this commander-in-chief. >> the denying the existence of transgender people. silencing teachers, banishing the republicans. extreme ul maga republicans tryg to undo every progress we made. >> laura: remember to him the maga republicans are the threat. if biden believes what he is saying about half the country, racist, anti-trans, horrible
4:23 pm
people, why would america have any right to claim the moral high ground overseas? of course these aren't serious people in the biden administration. they lurch from crisis to crisis without a real plan except maybe to make america weaker. the truth is the biden team went to wore against our energy independence. then he drained our strategic petroleum reserve to help democrats in the midterms putting us directly at risk right now because rear in crisis mode. now our reserve at a 40 year low which gives all the cards to russia, the saudis, the iranians and the venezuelans. given all of this, someone is going to have to explain to me that we should suddenly trust them or to handle even more democrat challenges. and that's the angle. joining us is former deputy secretary of defense under president trump. hhe eldrich good to see you don.
4:24 pm
xi thinks is he going to be the big winner here. he faces problems at home no doubt about it. the jowrnl's piece on this was startling and predictable. >> great to be with you. the who benefits? we can argue in the middle east who benefits. but putin definitely benefits but even more than putin, xi jinping in beijing benefits from the united states being tied down not only in one war but potentially in a crisis or god forbade regional in the middle east. the president of the united states on the news last night hey no problem we have got this covered walk and chew gum. it was interesting that he said we can take care of ukraine in the middle east. he did not mention china and which whole walk and chew gum is undermined by the administration's own formal defense strategy they can't fight multiple wars at the same time not because we don't want
4:25 pm
to because we don't have the capacity? is audacious from a president who has not revamped his defense industrial base. there has been a lot of the rhetoric. we haven't seen the kind of fundamental movements we need to see to really bring back the kind of defense industrial base we had the 1980s let alone in world war ii. he hasn't increased defense spending frankly 25eu789, as you indicated lawyer, i thought he was leading a political movement supposed to think america was this terrible country and so much to say sorry for. i'm i don't know we comes off eh we are america. not going to cut it on either a strategic or political consistency point of view. >> it's hard to vilify half the country as horrible racists and then everybody let's go to war. i don't see how that actually works. treasury secretary janet yellen, of course, who has been sucking up to china endlessly saying no, we are never decoupling, she is echoing joe's sentiment. watch. this america can certainly
4:26 pm
afford to stand with israel and to support israel's military needs. and we also can and must support ukraine and its struggle against russia. and, look, the american continent is doing extremely well. >> laura: okay aunt bee says the american economy is doing extremely well. this is what i'm saying. we're trusting these people to like inject us further into the middle east? i mean, we want israel to win and give them all the support they need. i'm talking about a much wider footprint that you can kind of feel coming here. first of all she didn't say china and probably not a coincidence. again, she didn't say it. the president didn't say it. jake sullivan didn't say it and lloyd austin didn't say it so that strikes me as a pattern. i really wonder there is rumors about xi jinping,ing a meeting going to a. peck this year. i wonder what's on the table.
4:27 pm
honestly, people, i would take it a lot more seriously if they said look, we have a real challenge here. we are really up a creek. and we're going to need to make fundamental changes to our economy. yes, the deindustrialization of the last generation is a mistake. yes, the over financialization of our economy. we need to be able to build stuff. we need to be able to build wednesday not only for ourselves, you know, through peace through strength and deterrence. but to be able to support. israel one of the many reasons such a great ally it doesn't ask us to fight wars. we will fight our own wars. >> when we gave them the airlift we were able to do that on the back of incredibly strong defense industrial base. now you have the secretary of treasury saying no problem. we will be find the president is very blase. that is incredibly dangerous attitude as we head toward the iceberg. >> laura: can you wait to get taiwan. if he gets elected it's total

memorialized. everyone can pull them off their computer any time any day. but trump can't respond to that by challenging the process and the nature of the penal who put him in that position. >> laura: and, sol, on the media, you know, corporate media today they were saying well they were salivating on the fact that the judge could put trump in jail down the road if she believes that he is violating this gag order, purposefully violating the gag order and vilifying jack smith and his merry band of prosecutors. >> well, is she going to provide separate sleeping quarters for the secret service, laura? she is not going to do that. you know, she is going to do everything possible to avoid that. but, david made another point about the leading supreme court decision on this case, which is about 30 or 40 years old and is a terrible opinion with three or four different, you know, opinions by the supreme court. but, it limited the right of lawyers, the lawyers in the case to say certain things to the

press. not the criminal defendant, and that's an important distinction. it's much more serious to limit the rights of the criminal defendant as david points out, is he presumed innocent under our system. the one thing he can't do is intimidate potential witnesses. >> laura: i have never seen anything like this. in all my years, law, politics, this is the wildest thing. sol, david, great to see you both. thanks. all right. biden declares a new foreign policy doctrine with some help from an anchor and the white house deploy as new weapon to keep the president moving. raymond arroyo has the details.

poll to pray up too loud and barred -- and bind what i said, that's right. >> what a change, to, "don't.." >> , "don't, is kind of the perfect model for biden. we don't have a thriving eco economy, we don't have a leader that can actually speak, and we certainly don't have a border that is secure of our own. >> yeah, well, and he also migh say, don't walk up steps withou tripping. i mean, this was the other day in pennsylvania. he stumbled along. it is turning very sad, laura. the president spoke at a human rights campaign event over the weekend, it was like he never seen an audience before. he was kind of shellshocked whe he got in front of the crowd. then once he did speak presiden inverted by yelling part with the whisper part. >> you got to stand up and holler. we got to stand up and holler. >> where the united states of
