here, joey. >> no, absolutely. talk about the northern border of lebanon and the belief is that hezbollah is more cape and will you point your view back to hamas and a lot of american veterans want to prepare this to fallujah and i've done the same and one thing that struck me is a lot more intelligence and understanding of gaza man we had of fallujah and their anl to go in and strike and it'll be better and it'll be very can i have adult and start on the amount of ground invasion and ieds and land mines and reinforced and fortified and the war is not easy and certainly not ease yay when your enemy is here . >> it shows full support of what's happening >> bill: that
7:11 am
was dan pittard from last hour, joey. there's a de-pate, joey, right. what's the delay? because you want to get everything together or waiting for the threat of if you go into gaza and fight a front war with hezbollah and we talked to a spokesperson with idf last hour and said that does not matter to us. we fought two front wars in the we can do it again and with technology in 100,000 rockets and gps positioning on them from hezbollah and lebanon and israel are facing issues from never before and different element brought into the war and engage it militarily. >> mission of israel is going out and killing ha has fighters
7:12 am
and rescuing hostages and you're better than what you're doing with this. letting them get deeper into the forces and you step into a hornet's nest and rocketing with small arm's fire and the amount of intelligence mesofor the accuracy and it's the only perception of it and mounting a ground invasion and rescue hostages and i would imagine it's my belief and u.s. is putting pressure on israel to do some type of negotiation for hostages before it's an all out war and we should expect our president to be mainly focused with it being focused on israel in the fight with hamas and the long run. the different opinions and all relevant and it's keyed into israel looking at it and
7:13 am
pontificate on the experience in iraq and afghanistan and the going by israel and the nation of people and truth is one thing israel has to take into account and kill every hamas fighter and doing so and briding that generation and hamas fighters in the palestinian people and mitigating that and a lot of angles to this and most americans are comprehend. and thank you. >> bill: donald trump did speak before he went inside that courtroom as his civil trial resumes over lower manhattan two moments ago. >> yes, i will.

7:15 am
7:16 am
they are the frauds. the house is worth it and he had 750 million and millions of dollars and they have moral in a low number and many times a number they put there. i just want to say and head them in and he said we were and more. >> bill: remember, this is the trial where let icia james filed a $250 million lawsuit against a former president and the judge rule the that was a couple weeks ago and now we're hearing it in
7:17 am
court and as it plays out, well, what we call pool spray yet again inside the courtroom where the judge allows still photographers and at least one video photographer to come into the courtroom. we see the former president, his attorneys at his side. sometimes, sandra, we've seen leticia james and sometimes we have not and the judge arthur anger on and sometimes we have not. we want to share this with our viewers and see hutch of a view we get today. >> sandra: there'll be a lot of discussion with the political implications and all this on going as he's running for president again. he's sort of made this a key part of his 2024 presidential campaign. he sees this civil fraud trial. >> bill: there's james, ag. >> sandra: this is extension of the campaign trail for him. it's not hurt him. >> bill: he took a few days off of court last week and trial
7:18 am
first began he was there every day. we watched him go in, we watched him come out and also he had comments during the break and i would bet that that pattern would continue throughout the day today. >> sandra: fourth appearance at the proceeding in less than a month. >> bill: got it. a bit of a long stay here for the cameras and i don't know whether or not remembering the first day we came in and never saw the judge sitting on the bench at the very end, the judge sat up straight and he took his glasses off and some suggested he mugged for the cameras and he did have a bit of a smug smile and did anticipate if the cameras came around and james is back in court and let you know how that continues. >> sandra: sanctions set to expire tomorrow and influence of iran-backed hezbollah with iran in israel and the latest from
7:19 am
the state department from the state department at this hour. hi, jillian. >> hi, a key part of iranian nuclear sanctions will expire tomorrow and the biden administration is focusing on trying to prevent the war in israel from become ago broader conflict and u.s. intelligence raising alarm bells about increasing concerns about iranian-backed terror group hezbollah. >> i fear they're reluctant to do that and they're abandoned their iran policy and attempt to increase iranian influence in the region by pursuing the revival of the iran nuclear deal at all costs. >> expiring sanctions are un and they're part of the nuclear deal and prevent teheran from testing, transferring, or procuring missiles and drones. republicans are accusing the biden administration of failing to enforce existing sanctions on the books and i having you
7:20 am
possibly can right now. >> joe biden is talking about potentially pausing the payment of $6 billion while he's looking the other way on terms of sanctions enforcement. reporter: secretary blinken continues his mideast diplomacy trip and his own diplomacy tour and ramping up support for hezbollah and blinken insist they could have increased access for funds and lies elsewhere. >> in bank accounts in this case in south korea in the sale of the oil and pursuant to arrangement established by the line. trump administrations. reporter: once the iran sanctions expire tomorrow and bind administration writ large
7:21 am
and explaining that and considering or whether they intend to do that, sandra. they're not sharing that information. hamas with 30 americans and israel did have the right and indeed the duty to defend the people have hamas and the terrorists. >> bill: antony blinken traveling throughout the region and traveling tomorrow through israel and the show of support for jewish stay time of war and also visiting jordan and perhaps others unannounced and nikki haley was the former ambassador to the un and candidate seeking republican nomination for president. thank you for your time, madame am bar dos, on this rather -- ambassador on this rather busy day. in 2017, you were in the gaza strip inside the hamas tunnels.
7:22 am
what did you experience there and what do people need to understand from your visit? >> well, i was on the border with lebanon and hezbollah rorockets. this is where hamas goes to hide and put their weapons and rockets. these are all under schools and hospitals and that's what hamas wants and they know israelis value life and they know the hardest way for them to get to what they're doing is to put it underneath schools and hospitals. that's the biggest issue that we're going to see going forward is hamas does not value life. they never have. so they will use and showing
7:23 am
israelis kill many people and that's the way they'll try to get sentiment and if they die in gaza, it's at the hands of hamas. >> bill: what does that tell you or signal to those in the region. >> it's good that president biden is going to israel but not telling them to show restraint. he should not be going to tell them to have a ceasefire. he should be talking about how we need to come down harder on iran. make no mistake, there would be no hamas without iran. there would be no hezbollah without iran. so you can't not see the role that iran has played in all of this. that's really a focal point for the united states and biden administration right now. >> bill: are you speaking about al palestinians and those live in the gaza strip and ron desantis in a time of politics jumpedded on that remark.
7:24 am
>> he's trying to be politically correct and she's trying to please the media and people on the left. i don't care about that. i'm going to speak the truth and let the chips fall where they may. >> i've always said we shouldn't take any gazan refugee ntsb i've always said that. those in the region should take them. that's why jordan and turkey took the bulk of the ref jessica mitchells and -- r refugees ando reason for refugees to come to america and my records is very clear on that. >> bill: you agree with ron desantis? >> i've always said that. that's the last thing we want, one, because we don't know who they are but two, bill, look at
7:25 am
the fact tafanely egypt doesn't want them, why doesn't egypt want them? for the same reason that we should not want them. it's because you can't vet them. you don't know but also i found out ref refugees should say witn their region. jordan is there and iran is there. can tar is there and i -- qatar is there and i've said this at the un. they always would always want more money and u.s. needs to protect the palestinians and my comment is why is it the role of the u.s. to do this? where are all the arab countries? if they care so much about the palestinians, why are they taking them and not funding their flight of humanitarian? that's the role of u.s. to do this? i've always continued to say that. >> bill: he called you politically correct. what would you say to that comment on nbc? >> i don't -- i'm not going to say anything to ron desantis when we know we're running for
7:26 am
president and he's trying to say whatever he can. i think anybody can look at me as governor and look at me at the un and now. i'm blunt, i'm to the point, i say what needs to be said, and i sand by it. >> bill: why do you make the comment about half of the palestinians don't want to be ruled by hamas? and why have we not heard more from that population about specifically that? >> i think from within the conversation, i was telling the other network that what we saw was the iranians in iran, they don't to want be under the iranian regime and at the un, half of the palestinians didn't want to be under hamas. they don't want that rule over them. the focus is governing. it's not about refugee status or anything else. it's about the fact that you do have many members of the stall palestinians and gaza community that don't want hamas to be there and that's the issue
7:27 am
that's always been the case between the palestinians and hamas. hamas rule is governing all of gaza right now. that's the reason we're having that problem and that place is so dangerous. bidenomic do you believe that vladamir putin allows hamas to make a move on the 50th anniversary of i don't mean kansas city chiefs purr >> they're sending billions their way and going from iran and sending them money that way. you have to see this partnership for what it is and i think you'll see today in the united nations if there's any sort of resolutions, they're going to continue to have the back of iran. we're going to hurt iran and they won't ever call out hamas
7:28 am
as a terrorist organization and they're going to go and give hamas cover because it's iran that is happening at the administration and biden is so wrong and they weakened sanctions on iran and allowed money to flow to hamas and hezbollah and we've got american hostages and don't think for a second they're not going to want to have billions of dollars for those hostages as well and now you're going to have sanctions on iran and i was telling them following the violations and that's why the u.s. needs to lead and point out all of these violations and if the un will not go and put these sanctions in place it's not up to the u.s. to put these really strong sancsanctions in place for iran. we have to decimate their economy and make sure they know
7:29 am
we've had a problem since the obama administration, the obama administration were iranian sympathizers from the start and that's why they got into this iran nuclear deal. now the biden administration it's obama 2.0. they continue to be iranian sympathizers and we can't do that. we have to see iran for the dangerous country that they are. >> bill: 30 seconds left, during your time with the un you experienced a lot of back and forth and anti-israeli sentiment and do you expect the un to issue a statement of condemnation against israel sometime soon? >> absolutely. within question, i'd give it till the end of the week if it's a good day at un, might be next week and you'll see them go and condemn and say that they're killing so many palestinians but no one will talk about all the death, the torture, and the bloodshed that happened at the hands of hamas. >> bill: nikki haley, thank you for your time. i'm out of time for now. madame ambassador, thank you. >> thanks so much, bill. >> sandra: from the front lines, an idf special forces
7:30 am
member captures the war in israel and battles hamas terrorists and he'll join us live next. plus, war rages in the middle east, they're concerned about terrorists crossing over the southern boarder and we report live from texas. >> it doesn't take have much to cause a lot of destruction and we know the border's wide open and that's why this policy is ss dangerous.
7:34 am
7:35 am
number of migrants coming from country withs ties to terrorism and let's take a look, a bird's eye view from the drone up in the sky and just this sector alone in this area, sandra, since i've been on the ground since last week, they've encountered and apprehended, six iranians six lebanese and one from china and saudi arabia. because the agents are so becausey processing the migrants that gave themselves up, it's the known got aways with 60 miles of wide open, un-patrolled, unsecure border in the eagle pass area tocosm across and we confirm in the sense of fiscal year beginning since two iranians have hit that
7:36 am
terror screening data base and talk to a local peak spl con data base and seeing them middle easterners that frighten her and talk to the chief sector and what she had to say. listen. >> he said they were very concerned. he believes that it's just a matter of time that people come into the country and we've always been concerns with me because of what i've seen. reporter: inevitable frightening words and take one last look and this is a hydrant apprehended a few days ago in the county. 30 miles north of where i am. you can see confirmed ms13 gang member because of the giant tattoo on his back. a reminder that whiled while not all are special interest aliens, there are central and south american gang members that come to seek and do harm in our country. sandra. back to you. >> sandra: griff jenkins, live
7:37 am
at eagle pass, texas. thank you. >> bill: thank you, griff. back to the middle east, you're about to meet an israeli soldier, a special opportunistics soldier who volunteered for the war effort to protect his country. his name is nimrod and he's filmed the horrors of the front line battling the hamas terrorists and idf special forces member, we're only using his first name. he's an israeli major and joining us now. sir, welcome to our coverage here. i know you're in the area of jerusalem and we'll play this video that you shot and pictures too. some of the picture haves been blurred out to protect identities. can you explain to us, major, what you saw and what you did in southern israel. >> yair, thank you, bill and san dr. that morning i woke up as a civilian and as a father, professional and realizing what's happening in the south i
7:38 am
took my pistol and drove south and realizing people are in desperate need for help. i went there and took part in the fight and i actually found the machine gun of israeli soldier that died in the road and i told myself now i had a chance for fair fight and went in to save the i can boots in the communities. >> sandra: major, thank you so much and we're showing these images on the screen here. i know a big part of your messaging here and the reason you're coming on is you wanted to look at the comparisons that are being made to isis and other terrorists coming to hamas. something they've shared.
7:39 am
>> i was raised looking at picture of >> what happened to us over there, it's the understanding of what we've seen is something unbelievable and secondly regarding the connection of iran, we first saw hamas so well organized. >> bill: major, what atrocities do you claim to have seen with the idf in five or six
7:40 am
hours? >> i've seen dozens of innocent civilians that were slaughtered on the roads. families, full families, women, children, were burned, stabbed, shot, a lot of them are in the back and not even in the front. shot in the back. inside those communities burned, bodies of babies. significant signs of women being raped before -- the most horrific ways and talking about 1400 people. so this is something i've never thought in my life i'd see. definitely not inside israel. this is the most largest terror attack that we suffered here in israel, and probably one of the largest in the world. >> sandra: major, the u.s. president is making his way there later today. he'll be on the ground in israel tomorrow.
7:41 am
what do you hope is the messaging coming from the united states as this war continues? >> listen, for us, it's great to connect with the u.s. and have the u.s. back and stand on one front. a lot of people tell me this is your issues and down in the middle east, wherever there is evil, in this form of way that we've seen, now it's an israel. tomorrow it will be in another place. america also suffered this kind of terror attacks. and for us to stand united with america, it's a how long thing for us. you know, i say listen, hamas and hezbollah are playing ping-pong with us. we need to go for the head of the snake. i listen to madame ambassador nikki haley and she's right, she's spot on right with analysis, we need to look where everything starting. >> sandra: major, appreciate you joining us. thank you so much for your time.
7:42 am
let you get back. >> tha thank you very much. >> bill: what a story he's telling. us eisenhower left for the middle east from virginia the other day. one thing weave noted is the uss strike group in eastern mediterranean strike group and different asset going up with a strike group and pack ago lot of power and punch and what learned overnight with the u.s. marines getting involved and 26 marine expeditionary unit and had been off the coast of kuwait off the southern coast and a southern resorted city in israel and 2,000 men and women on board and they can offer a lot of support if indeed they were called upon and the u.s. military in the
7:43 am
region with force, i would suggest, sand draconian. with the commander in chief due there tomorrow in israel. >> sandra: bill, breaking news and it's reportable that the secretary of state antony blinken meeting with the palestinian leered in jordan and we're anticipating that and we can now report that will be happening and that meeting with the palestinian president and, bill, happening as we apate the departure of the president and any news coming from that meeting of course. meanwhile senator tom cotton demanding dhs secretary mayorkas take control of america's boarders before the open policies allow hamas supporters bring the conflict on u.s. soil saying "i write to urge you to meetly deport any foreign national including any especially alien on a student visa. visa that has expressed support for hamas and murderous attacks on israel.
7:44 am
these fifth columnist haves no place in the united states". this is really interesting, bill, because a lot of people are saying let's not take our eye off the border. we see griff jenkins and others reporting at the border and there are people coming over the border from iran countily. we're getting reports of that. so this is obviously an important part of on going story that's happening there in the middle east. >> bill: some things you're wondering about now is these terrorists learn and adjust and make adjustments with how they infiltrated america and kept quiet. the hamas terrorist it is this in gaza and operating in small groups and not communicating with electronics and face-to-face communication. that border has been open for two years, sandra, and the imagination runs wild as to whether or not those folks are here now and are they planning and plotting and doing it in a way that we can't protect them.
7:45 am
funding polls from universities and israel and hamas protesters and student leadership divided on the war and vice president harris in the middle of college tour and grady trimble live from the next stop in northern arizona university soon. reporter: just a week or so since the horrific hamas attacks and researchers counted more than two dozen protesters from new york to louisville to seattle not condemning the terrorist organization and showing support for palestine and sometimes blaming israel. >> there's not a first amendment right to argue on behalf of terrorist organization in country and one that's not only
7:46 am
committed violence and prenyled to commit nor violence in the future -- for violence in the future. reporter: these could take a big financial hit if they don't push back against their students and ivy league schools alone stand to lose half a billion, that's because major donors like former u.s. ambassador john huntsman jr. and ke ken griffin stopped giving donations or threatened to. to be clear, on the campus where we are, northern arizona university where vice president harris will be later today, we're not aware of any pro palestine front pushing tests but the vp as you noted is on a big college tour right now and there's a disconnect between the biden administration's support of israel and college students. some of whom have said the terror attacks were israel's fault. we've reached out to vice president's office to see if she'll address these protests and some of them anti-semitic at colleges across the country. we have not heard back and it's certainly something we'll be
7:47 am
looking for as she speaks here at northern arizona later today. bill. >> bill: grady, before i et i let you go, it's day 11 after hamas cross that had boarder and has she stopped at a college since then that you know of? >> there's ample opportunity to address them even if she's not been on a college campus since the attack and we have not heard that from the vice president. >> bill: imagine her boss is in israel tomorrow and talking about it in some degree. grady, thank you. we'll see what happens there. grady trimble, northern arizona, sandra.

>> senate 123459 torr bill cassidy got a firsthand look at war unfolding and relations moving forward and joining us now. you tweeted out, gnat torr, 11 american lives and hundreds of hostages taken and women raped and country heart broke and sickening iran, the leading state sponsor of terror needs to be held actable for its involvement. what did you see on the ground there, sir? >> we met with all levels of highest levels of government, what you'll learn is proportions to our population, we'd have lost 30-40,000 people relative to 330 million people >> they're jew and i shall want to kill jews and that's a reality there. you also realize that hamas
7:49 am
doesn't care about the palestinian people. israel is dropping lea leafletsd telling people to evacuate to the south because there's going to be a war in the north and hamas is trying to get the people to stay. israel trying to protect palestinians and hamas is using them as human shields to protect hamas. ziisrael was with us on our warn terror and the u.s. needs to be with israel on their war on terror. >> sandra: what do you want to see happen obanya the part of congress? >> yeah, so israeli officials we spoke to, first they ask for humanitarian aid for palestinians. they're at war with hamas and they want humanitarian aid with palestinians and i was struck by that. they need military support. they're going to need things for example iron dome, they're going to need precision weaponry. they're going to need other forms of support that we can give in a realtime basis that
7:50 am
they would quickly deplete their stocks. they've got enough of the immediate, but they think this is going to be a protracted war. >> sandra: as far as president's visit, what do you hope this accomplishings making way to israel later today? >> the israeli people need to know the united states stands with them and having battle carrier groups there and the president there, having us there sends no greater signals starting with us and obviously the president is the president. sends a signal to the israelis we'll stand with you as you go to war with someone who truly wants to kill all the jews. >> sandra: senator, appreciate your time. freshing off your visit to israel. just back a short time ago, appreciate you joining us. thank you. >> thank you. >> sandra: all right. >> bill: right about ten minutes before the hour, president biden is heading to the middle east. israel is his first stop and then we anticipate a stop in aman, jordan, showing support for israel in a high stakes test of diplomacy. more on that and what we're learning.
7:51 am
as the fighting escalate, trapped americans trying to escape the war zone. can they? do they have a shot? meanwhile, those who can get out of israel are finally heading home. >> the day that hammed, there was rockets getting fired in the north, hezbollah started goes towards the lebanon boarder and getting back to jerusalem, i just left there and they're getting attacked now. some lenders charge hundreds upfront for your appraisal and other fees. not at newday. a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money. this is american infrastructure, a prime target for cyberattacks. but the same ai-powered security that protects all of google also defends these services for everyone who lives here. ♪
