and welcome to our hannity this friday night. we start with this fox news alert. israel's ground operationsright havel's ground operationsright now expanded. we have large explosions, artillery, tank fire and even possible bunker buster bombs that have been heard and see n nonstop all night long, as the idf has now confirmed the expansion of operations. in other words, the ground no other words, the ground officially begun. now, here with a verciallyy own you know how here is acr description of how things wentin earlier tonight, just how this all got started from our very own yang's. >> take a listen. clearly, something is happening tonight and we continue to cite the israeli military and what they've told us, and they've told us they are conducting expanded ground raids into gazia . we don't want to speculate ors call this for what it could be because we need to wait and we need to be patient here. but this is, unlike any other night we have covered, we've been out here for the past 21 days covering this as iten hr de days covering this as iten hr and this is a significant development. also, to give you a sense of the phaseveso to give you ahs

indicative of what we expected to com e. hem the israelis told us they would be ramping up their their strikes against gaza beforee entering on the ground. this is the next phase of the war at this moment. i cannot confirm to you that the ground operatioi n has begun. what we can tell you is that aat new phasell e is underway rightd as we speaerk. >> now, coming up in the coursed of the night, live coverage on the ground all throughout aue israel, trace gallagher, steve harrigan, alex hogan and lieutenant colonel oliver north, also former secretary of state mike pompeo. th >> his analysis probably needed more than ever. both their analysir,s. first, here's what we know so far from israel's ground invasion , which some are now saying could last for months. a very key objective we no know has to be for the idfdfroyh to destroy the vast network of tunnels constructede by hamas. under gaza city, i've been in them. now the concretey tunnels, by the way, which have power thdthe way, which have power

under international aid. they used international aid money. to a lot of that money happened to be your tax dollars money that was intended for the palestinian people. keep that in mind when t ind s pitch you on aid the $100 million in humanitarian aid for the palestinians. but this money instead t of building this network of tunnels, should have been used for infrastructure. instnes and hospitals,e. but instead used by the terror group hamas for shelter travel,n the coordination of attacks to capture or kill, kidnap os te israelis. and they also used for the storage of their weaponrd they and many other day to dayday- operations. now, sadly, there's undergrount network was built below residential areas. whloy, of course, in order to un civilians above as human shields. and take a look at your screen, this how hamask at your screen, actually built their terrorist headquarters directly underneath gaza's largest hospital. i wonder if that's the same hospital larg that was blownto to smithereens by the israelis when it never got hit and it

was from the islamic. this was when the media li isre to you. it just flat out destroyed that that butcher that story. most of these media outlets never took responsibilite mediy and by the way, that hurt israel because they had to reveal their intelligenceay,g capability just to prove they did not do this. they didn't doatbility t. this is one of the reasons the idf has been pleading with residents p now for almosth 21 straight days in gaza. now to move south of the city. now, unfortunately, the freedomf loving terrorists of hamas, you know, the people that have been eople all around university campuses in our country, they are preventin campuseg civ. from actually evacuating. according to a phone call between an idf pho soldier and a resident of gaza. hamas is blocking roads, even shootingmas at people as they r flee. >> listen for yourself. if i'm not on equal pay, what will the fundamental problem for me and i don't know

i in the battle on my are one of the women i'm having this type of armor. let me jump into that position . >> i took a woman to both the army. i'll make and the last name winds up on both hamas and that i will tell you. i know the second, though, i'm sure i mean, i want inform the secretary more generally, which from the i will do. >> i'm not sure i'm happy for the options. oh oh well it was that from

the a little girl i don't ago i'm not from. >> yeah. i can't but she recommended and the name of. >>d the name of. the people of gaza s never goine to be free living under the thumb of the terrorist group hamas. te is a truly barbaric group of indoctrinated terrorist s who will alwaysterrorist be terrorists masquerading as the world's ultimats bee vic . convert or die. remember? death to israel. deat?death toh america. remember? we should maybe start listening. shoulwhat did the 911 commissin report tell us? 9/ with?ell us? we were not at war with them. they've been firing tensen fir of thousandsin of missiles annually into israel. >> they built this networknto ia of tunnels to kill israelis. they're at war with israel. they have declared war leadingo thed up to this october 7th event. hamas is about lose their brutal grip on the people of gaza. theiutal gris left of gaza.

israel has vowed to take them out, rightly s o. and now, faced with the reality, for the first time in years, the leader s of hamas recenader are not taking it well. watch this recent bbc interview spokh this recent bbc interview >> take a look. hamas you sa. y this was a military operation, but the result of it was that hundreds of civilians were killed because that area is very wide and there are maney people and there was clashes and confrontation. it's now confronting. >> and you invaded houses. details we'll talk happening inside. but i can tell you that we>> didn't have any intention oron decision to kill the civilians . >> how d >>o you justify killin howg people as they sleep in families? how do f you just put all of ths in? >> they want to solve this. how do you justify beheading>> good question. sorry. i don't want this interview. you know, it's harder to lie when you don't have a captive

audience. ultimately, no this israel will will eliminate hamas from this earth. they will prevaimas from thel ay existence now depends on it. there are also it. prepared to eliminate hezbollah in the north in a two front war if necessary. probably even likelysary, obably point. iran's proxy wars, they have been very active for years and very active this month. but they're not just attacking israel, the united states. isra. , ise united states. this and understand it is also in their their their sites. a iran's proxies have launched a series of attacks agains td in american stationed in the middle east. so far, at least 24 soldiers have been injured, including some with traumatic brain injuriesjured,. last night, after weeks of doing nothing, biden finally authorizedg what turned outll to be a very small airstrike against two warehouses owned by iranian proxies o r putanian proxies o as senator tom cotton put it, quote, retaliation against expendable, expendable, expendable proxies, especiallyee

unoccupied proxy warehouses, merelycid validates iran's strategy to use proxies to attack americans. they are laughing at us in tehran and in tehran, in iran. and we'll target and we'll continue to target americans unti et ameril presido gets serious about imposing severe costs on iran. son ir iran has suffered no real consequences for any of their actions. quit que opposite. they keep getting rewarded by joe biden. the oil keepg s going out, billions of dollars keeps coming in. the mullahs asleepf dollar and d not a care in the world. weakness. d. joe biden has invited hostility and aggression worldwide and no one has been weaker than this president. he hasan more fury against so called ultra maga republicans than the terrorists nowiers. attacking our soldiers. and we're going to have a lot more on iran's hostility upe on iran's hostility tonight. but first, let's take you to the ground in northern israel. x this is where we're expecting the possible two front war that would be oussible tt of leo that would be with hezbollah. and with the very latest,

our owllahhen steve harrigan isr the lebanon border, where there is also activity. r th >> steve, what cane you tellst, us tonight w? >> sean, there is a sense that what we're seeing tonight, that incursion, gaza mightaz be something more powerful than what we've seen the past simply, because of the intensity of the israeli strikes. they are strikin ig from the air on the ground, from the sea, even fighting undergroun sd. t and i think the fact that the internet has been cut out internet has been cut out >>si and just how that ground wr does go in gaza really dependspd on what happens here as well. you mentioned lebanon. it's right behind me about two miles. hezbollah, a terrorist organization funded by iran, carries out their work. for the past two weeks, they've been lobbing shells into israel, mainly short range anti-tank missiles, numbercasuai of casualties so far on the israeli side, under ten, o about 40 to 50 hezbollah fighters taken down. but that could ramp up considerably. we've seen protests in lebanon.

mppeople want hezbollah to do more. lele. operatio wann by israel, if we e high civilian casualties, there will be a lothere wit of pressue on hezbollah to join in the fight. they certainly have the rocket fight.sal inly have the rocket to do so. and their goal, of course, is to destroy israel. we today from iran's foreig minister. he said hezbollish has itsth finger on the trigger. and when you come here to the nortcomeh, israelis know it. tens of thousands have left their homes. f they know what could be happening here in the near term. when you drive u when youp northu to israel, people say, take what you need, bring your own bi ng food, because really some ofing these villages are turning into ghost towns already. >>into t sean, back to you. >> all right, steve, we'll check in with you throughout the night che i. regular and steady shelling from the hills of lebanon m the hibehind us into israel and return fire from israel into hezbollah positions. sometimes you can see o the shelling or the red glow of a of a forest fire, etc., etc.. >> cetera. anyway, joining us ns

on the ground, it is in jerusalem is trace gallagher trace. >> and john, this is a veryuse s night for israel because as youe note, the 300,000 plus idf soldiers on the border of gaza read the bory to go in.bout some have already gone in. just think about that. weeks but three weeks ago, these people were mostly bankers and accountantbankers, plumbers and now they are fighters prepping to go to war. and it's unclear exactlyr.got. how much training or retraining they've got. thd operation to be sean, was really meant to be at this stage prepping a battlefield, meaning you send in your heavy tanks, you send in you you r big equipment to god kind in there and kind of lay a path for more soldiers to get in. and in doing that, you had idf air force teams going in all week bombarding northern gaza. r so they too could kind of layy that territory flat, make it easier, make i t, get a pathway. we expected this to be exactly that, prepping the battlefield. and yet the times of israel

is nowepping t reporting tonight that there have been significant clasheere haves beta hamas and israeli defense forces. d i we do not know the extent of those clashes or if there the are any casualties, and we don't even know if they are still going on at this hour daily. about an hour or maybe 2 hours away here, sean, we expectch these incursions each night to get bigger as the ground warn kind of moves in bigger and bigger and then moveer and their from northern gaza into southern gazorthern a or into cl gaza. the question becomes what the impact of the ground war like steve harrigan was talking about. do do these the incursions force in the north in lebanon to fire into norther northn isrl and how does it affect the negotiations with the hostages? negotiathewe talked to a lot ofi who were hoping that they would hold offliesg on this ground wd maybe a few more days or a fewa

more weeks to give diplomacy a time to get their loved ones out there. a lot of talk today about qatar that was negotiating hostage deal to get a significant number of hostages a out. but as soon as this expanded ground operation became noteworthy, that all stopped. stop are.y, that all stopped. a lot of people concern, sean, that that this might slow down the hostage negotiation. and yet you have a top aide to prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying. e best they believe the best way to get these hostages out is to go ithe hon and smash hamas ande these people out themselves. >> john.llag all right, trace gallagher, we'll have more on that throughout the evening. stanher.re othd byat.n afte trace also will be on righth after us tonight with coverage z all throughout the night and early morning in gaza. we continue to monitor ontinue n the situation on the ground in israel and gaza. we'll be doing it all nighrael but now let's turn our attention back to the head of the snake, and that is the ead ofc republic known as iran. e biden sleepwalked through a

his presidency, we have a new axis of evil forming between china, russia, iran. we can now also add north korea today, a senior delegation from iran actually met with hamas representative. where in moscow with vladimir putin. joe when will you call out vladimir putin for supportingdit terrorists? you let them shoot down our drones and didn't say a thing. when s a we shut down iran's ability to fund their terrorism by you being so lenient and allowing their oil sales, it tendsent, and tens of billiob of dollars. death to america is more thailla catchy slogan for iran. mr. president, it seems like they really mean it. i know you were on the beach in delaware somewhere, but mayb beachwhere,e you should somewhere with top diplomats and top defense officials planning in situation roomha what our next moves are. now, here is iran's foreign ministert xt, our country on our soil. after you generously granted him a u.s. visa.

>> bad move. take a look. u.s.a.bad a frankly, to the managing the in palestinema that we do notat welcome to expansion of the war in the region. but i warn if the in gaza continues, they will not be spared from this fire.. >> all right. joining us now with reaction, foining us now with reaction, secretary of state fox news contributor mike pompeo. mr. secretary, i saw your comments earlier. you think this is going to be longer than maybe a lot of people think? i think you might be right. the one thing that i am reminded is israel begins thissn ground incursion. it will be ver, ity difficult i it's a two front war to be more difficult. rockets from it makes it more difficult to get rockets from the houthis out of yemen. that makes it more difficult. iran's threat and, saber m

rattling that they will get into this makes it more difficult. ak difficthe 911 commission said ty were at war with us and we were an with them.ith us and we were >> israel has literally beenly e taking in and tens of thousands of rockets annually intots their border cities. they similarly have watched international aid money be spent on this network of tunnels. >> isn't it clear enough, even before october seven,ha that there has been a war being waged against israel and this is now israel's opportunity to end that war forever? you ca el's n longer have hamasl in the south, hezbollah in the north, without massive consequenc thee. his th >> this is justei their opportunity to fight to f. opportunity to fight shot at it is absolutely necessary that israel do precisely what we're saying, begin this evening. that iseeing b this the destruco the infrastructure and the leadership of a terrorist or sitting on theiranrist border. and your your points tonight have been prettyd yours tonigh . they have been at war not only with israel, but they've beeney've be missiles into the m

of saudi arabia. they've been conductinve beeng r attacks around the world. and we should not forget that in spituld noat ie of the t that the biden administration denies that it was iran that killed americans on kamericanoctober. right, there were several dozen americans, blue passport holders that wericans, be passp. and there are american hostages still being heldng by them.i do' >> i don't think the biden administration has completely taken on board that thisadminist about some faraway place and demanding a humanitarian . d demanding a humanitarian is that going to solve the problem of these barbaric actors who want to destroy israel, the rightful homelan d cael, the rightful homelan of, the jewish people, and are coming for the rest of the world as welom l? >> okay. so, you know, i've bee so, you know, i've bee in these tunnels and we'llee show video again tonight. we've been showing it to our audience. e auand i got to tell you, it'st just the tunnel i was in. mr. secretarl i y. know all about them. i went down nearly 100 feetne undergrounarlyd. i went inside the tunnels. i went inside the tunnels. that bit of architecture, if you will. of iit's terror architecture,wh

but it is what it is.at >> and only designed using international aid money, including our tax dollars. but the network is all throughout gaza. you know, even under the the the largest hospital in gaza. i woul d have to think one ofk n the top goals here is to destroy the entire network of tunnels. >> secondly, hamas's abilityir to fire rockets whenever they want, using humane shield in schools and hospitals that that launchinang area must come to an end. how do they achieve that militarilachievy? >> so it won't be easy and ite won't be without cost. two thingswi i think haveve to happen first. i think they've done some good work to prepar teg the battlefield, but it's an urban fighting environment. i think that'll be pretty difficul ifficul t for them. but they have the capability. they've been watching this for yearen s. they have a good piece of this map, i suspect. o i suspebut the second thing s to happen, really the second

to two pieces. first, we cannot have the world demanding that they stop, demand political pressure on them, demanding that they pull back wheg thaty n we have diffi days, there will put enormous stress not only on selyl leadership,n but the military leadership as well. a second and this is a role that is really important for the united states. we have to establishtablis deteo from these other fronts. we have to communicate to the municate islamic republic of iran that if you open another front, the cost isn't going to be imposefront, td on somebody sith in syria or some knucklehead sitting in the desert in iraq. i, itit's going to be imposedtt on the iranian leadership if we don't get that right, if the costs aren't imposed on the iranian leadership to the iranian leadership you'll have the west bank begin to put pressure on israel from that direction. rom th >> the north, you'll see it all across the region. there's nothine nofrtg humanita about giving the iranians the opportunity to continu ae terror campaign. we've got to end this. we have the capacity to push back. we've trm e done it before.t we did it in the suleimani strike. america did it in 1988 with praying mantis. we can reestablish deterrence.ee

>> it simplyri takeso do american leadership to do so. john. well, let me s ask you aboutouta strategy and war and then we're going to have some other news in a second here. and thatre. that is is, if youo back to iraq, we did not have the modern, sophisticated weaponry that has since been developed. the way, for example, you were the wayable track down solomon suleimani and take him out on that tarmacleimani, is is a e of american military. im out you pinpoint accuracy, took them out on the tarmac. you could have taken them outerl of the air. there would have been collateral damage. dama that way. ge. you waited till he was the target. t. w arget. similarly, that's how you beatbt the caliphate. if we know the if israel knows exact the exact location of this terror terror tunnel network, why not network use mo, sophisticated military technology and bomb it out of existence rather than a long, protracted ground war, protg more old fashionedd war,

military methods? am i wrong in thinking that you could nothinkingt out the the tr tunnel network? ean, channa i'll leave to people who know more about the capabilities than i did, but i'm going to guess i t i'm going to guess available. >> we're seeing one piece of that or maybe bombhat or maybe right? we're seeing the air bombardment. we're seeing the artillery that's preparing prd now. eparing we're seeing the armored vehicles and personnel carriers moving into the gaza arm strip. my guess is that they're not only using things we can see t, but tools that are clandestine tools that are going to try to get at that very networ tat make no mistake about it, i aml convinced israel is going to do this in a way that minimizesdoii both the risk to civilians in gaza, the risk to the hostages , which is very much in the front of our minds and theirs and the families of thosefamilies hostages.ir own >> but as well as protecting their own soldiers and sailors, i'm convince d, will conduct a military campaign here that represents modern warfarety . i don't know that we'll get a chance to see it all. but israel has the capacity cap to do this as long as we don'tao stop them and we continue

to help them mak thiwee sure to help them mak thiwee sure without having to open up other fronts as well. fronts as well. >> all right. let me ask you this. tell tl you what? x news >> we've got to get right back to him. mr. secretary, we have a fox news alert. justt breaking. >> fox news has now confirmed in maine mass shooting, robert card, has befo shooting, robert card, has we're going to have a lot more on this later in the show. but before we get back to it, let me give yo, gu a few of the details. they're a little sketchy at this time. all 18 victims have now beene ll 18 victims have now beene identified by authorities. the shelte r place order, as everyone knows, has been lifted. li was a married couple in their seventies, a fatherson, and his 14-year-old son. four adults associated with the maine educational center for the deaf. a gun note, cell phone belonging to the suspect found earlier todaoundy by the policen >> divers, sonar equipment searched the river neat r where the suspect's car was found abandoned wednesday nighfot neaa where apparently he had a boat. and a press conferenced now

will be held, i guess, sometime gu goingay, poliguess, sometime forward. anyway, police, to their credit, working througo thh h the many, many hundreds of tips from people around thes m. the but let me repeat, the suspect in this maine shootingt in t has been confirmed as dead. we'll have dead. more details to follow throughout the night. authorities by thee ght. way, a, let me bring in former secretary of state mike pompeo . now, i want to ask you this, mr. secretary, because i think t. secretary, because i think >> if some of this can be used with modern military technology and weaponry and we have a two front war, i thinktwo- is capab, they plan for a two front warr every timeevery they've handlet historically. 48, 67, 73. they're no stranger to having'6, a lot of hostile countriesrrou surrounding them. so my next questiondinn to you , if it becomes bigger than that if syria keeps launching missiles, the houthis ou

of yemen keep firing missilesg and iran continues to saber rattle and maybe itself gets involved at that point, i woulds argue all bets are off. if i'm right, how would you define all bets are off. n, >> sean? i think i think that's right. i think that fundamentally change the nature of what's taking place there, in spite of the fact they've alreadnatury killed americans. look, it would it would require us to doamerican what thinks prp president biden has prepared for by moving the resources resoo the theater. usources >> but we need to be prepared to use it. you know , i remember, i remember being in the situation room. i remember conversations where we werremembere trying to map ot how it is you restore deterrence wherestorn iran is on the march. now, the fact that hamas is meeting with russian leadership t makes it even complic more complicated. >> but we know how to restor. eo deterrence. we know the tools. we have plenty of resources. we have a veryolav resour setveryolav of intelligence collection capabilities and covert operations. we havn e all of the things that america can bring to bear

that i am confident they can convincedent can ayatollah and president raisi that it's not worth the candlethat that,hd in fact, they they have played their hand too strongly strof. mericao strongly that's the role america can play, that frankly, only america can pla y. ver and to the extent we end up with a very complex situation situs ally,on of ex situation our partner and the nation of israel, we need to bring all of that american powerwerin to bear. >> all right. secretary pompeo, you're going to stay with us. we will get back to yobearean:tu throughout the evening tonight. thank you. joining us now, lieutenant colonel oliver ut the north. same colonel north, let's get your assessment. i want to go back to the same line of questioninge of id with secretary pompeo. i understand the need for intelligence on, the groundrael and even boots on the ground for israel. however, if you know r, iver, if you know the network of tunnels are, why not use military new military technology and take out as many of those tunnels as possible from the air m and risk a groundd incursion? where like our troop s in iraq, our troop we didn't have this technology you know, are going to be stepping ove, e r r ieds every n ten feet or so potentially.

seanfeet or so potentially. israel's attack plan is much more sophisticated than it's coming across and in the media. the campaign in gaza isn't justr one point of entry. theit's all along a 30 mile l g border. there are zones of actioion, ar fires. they're going to have to clear buildings, then clear entire city blockbuildires, and they'rg to shoot back. that's the rules of engagement that they've gotules o fire. they're going to do everything ciey're going to do everything inflicting civilian casualties. they've got devices and they've got munitions that are not widely known that they're goins to use in those tunnels. there's ways in which you want to make sure that you're not ti good lord, forgive. if all those hostages werel ofy banded up in one long tunnel that got attacked by israel, that would we pay foisrael, r that decades. so what we're looking at is a situation where these guys know what they're doing. asow what they're doing. questions you asked the good secretary, and i'm glakee fwood

with you because he's a dear friend and i have enormous respect for him. , enormoubut what took place oh of october that took the lives of at least 30 assets could not have happened. but foe ulr iran, if they turner hezbollah loose from their bases in lebanonom t b and syria to attack israel, it should not come as a surprise that iranian built missiles were fired from iran omir, from lebanon, or from, god forbid, gaza, that they will be soonon be firing at u.s. naval assets mediiring at u.s. naval assets the president should immediately tomorrow morning pres all existing sanctionsg ano against the regime in tehran, will be immediateluny enforced.e and he's going to have i to immediately lift his own self-imposed shutdowns, he has on fracking and drilling and reassure the american people, we're not going to run ou t americant fuel. and by the way, refill our strategic petroleum reserves . serves number two, if hezbollah l will the iranian theocracy responsible and act with devastatinghoesponsib an at further threats to u.s. personnel and assets. number three, the president should also direct the u.s. department of justic.se to indit

the terrorist leaders like yasser anwar and hamasleader hed of state ismail haniya, the so-called hamas foreign ame so-called hamas foreign 30 american citizens. ersincever since the 7th of oct. and now we don't have an extradition agreement with qatar. an interpol posting of those guys faces aofn airports around the world might keep these thugs from traveling freely around to the whorehouses that are known to visit. number five, he needs to order the national guard to secure our southern border immediate. number six, notify the iranians that if hezbollah attacks israel, we will shut down iran's entire export capability. that's one of the things that the secretary was just referrin e g to much more diplomatically than i did. that should make all those who are filling the ayatollahse coffers with billions, as you pointed out, will some pressure to bear on tehran, for example, tog might just pick upknock le, the phone and say, hey, guys, knock it off. we need your oil. it, weeeand finally, we ought tw al-sisi in cairo, u.s. air ee

911 commission report, didn't agree with it, didn't think it was firm enough. didn't aitbut they got one thinr very right. they were at war with us. we were noe at warust at war wi. we have been witnessing literally tens and tens and hundreds of thousands of rocketsthousand fired into israeli cities. >> it has been going on for a yearte after year after year. >> we've known about thi networork of tunnels for quite some time. >> if if the take away from the 911 commission was they were at war with us, we weren'e aw t at war with them. what part of these rockets fired into israeli cities and the network of tunnels and the network of tunnels israelis was not anyisra indicai that they were in a full fledged war againsone t. israel. why diitd it t take october 7th >> we are still the great satan. the little satan is the israeldestro that they want to destroy first. that's numbet. r one.ave number two, we have allowed, or particularly since the obama administration and now

certainly in this an, dsnly in this to get away with all kinds of terrible things. ofble thiny is wise to point out and remind everybody that we took out the architect of what a lot of the islamic revolutionary guard corps and the quds force have done around the worldarou who make enemiesnd of ours able to carry out attacksof on americans. that's that's the kind of leadership that we desperately needership t in wast all right, colonel noor, stay with us. we'll geon. el north, t back to you throughout the evening as well. we appreciate your time, sir. all right. no , sir.w with more on the other i breaking news tonight. the suspect from this week's horrific mass shooting in maine has been found dead. now confirmed by fox news and by authorities. here with the very latest. former special agentlate, for the fbi, nicole parker, and national law enforcement, counterterrorismrker analyst aaron cohen. >> thank you both. nicole, start with you. nicoobviously, a result of real good policing. show i know last night in the lead up to the show that we have, which ended upd being an intervw

with the new speaker of the house, there was hopeht hav they thought they might have identified an area where he was an wasr tenuously. where he was we now know in retrospect that they were looking retro atn his car had been found nearea a boat that apparently had t that apparently owned. and they spent a lot of time and they were able to confirm his deatime,nfirh today. t in the end, i thinhik great policing. could anything have been done, perhaps in retrospect,ethi to prevent something like this? >> or when you're dealinnge gpee with mentally ill people and people that that are thieopls st it's something that we just have to anticipate can happen occasionally. >> and we're stuck living with thicasionals. s >> you know, john, havineag responded to several mass shooting incidents, it's absolutely tragic. and there is a pattern solutely that those that, you know, conduct these awful shootingt s do have many times the history h you'ues. you want to make sure that you're not saying those with mental health issues end t'

up doing things like that. that is not the proper correlation. but there's also anothere's also important part of this. many individuals who are end ups being mass shooters do have suicidal ideatio n beforee deatio they go out and conduct the shooting. and so, so the fact that thisdu individual, from what i understand, has committeald suicide and was found in a nearby forest area, do noty quote me on the facts at this point. they have not been confirmed by mysel bf. that is what i understand. i am not shocked that he committed suicidshockee. kille he had gone out. he had killed 18 individuals de had killed 18 individuals >>te they were working on determining what was his motive. was he was there a domestic dispute? dispute, ssr. going after in particular? but obviously, he accomplished obd obviously, he accomplished d to, which is disgusting and evil. and we now have 18 individualswl who will no longer be able to be with their loved one no es and live out their lives. but i am so grateful for the efforts of law enforcementon that they did not give up and that they have found this individualthey'v and that i was

hoping that he would be found alive because i personally wanted justice be served.e e but you know what? he committed suicide. th committed suicide. to that community. they have been hunkering doweyen for several days now. and now they can know that there is no longe rhat there is no longe a threat to their community. >> we can now confir m the that robert carr, the suspect in the shooting in lewiston, maine, has been found dead.from >> we know from abc news and multiple law enforcementd sources have said that carr died from a cell inflicted gunshot wound to the head. aaron, feel free to comment on this and go back to our other top story, which is the th going on thaton tha is the has begun in israel againstt' hamas bes. well, sean, first, i think it's hats off to colonel bill ross. maine that's the head of the maine state police. you know, i can tell you from u training law enforcement the last 20 years, state troopers don't play around stat they've got a great academy throughout the country. y roughoutthey're very aggressit

comes to policing. and i think the colonel did iteo right here. i think he was partnered up correctly with the other municipalities counties and the fbi to be ableto to really take this hunt as quickly as possible, to be able to get this guypossible off the street. as far as the response to the active shooter, it's tricky. it's always difficult responding to these becaus eesponding to these becaus there's typically patrol and maybe a school resource officer like we sa aw in uvalde. that response didn't turn out very well. the training wasn'alt. ning so it really comes down to the sy it really comes down to the the alert system, which is a federal mandated training systemstra that's a moderatedouh through post, which is the police officer standardscertai and training. these are certain amount of training that police officers neeount od a year. that alert system allows officers to be able to go into structureslowso into. people are going to schools, going to malls, buildings to be able to conduct clear ans,d methodical and safe way to put shots straight on an active shooter. it's trickdica wh's trickdica second you waste when somebody is opening fire, another innocentenning person is kille.

and so i think the colonel, i think bill ross did correcl u i think he partnered up quickly. he's got a very extensive background. he hasensivehe was in the opera portion for a good chunk of his career. and i thinhi, k fbi and everyboo involved did what they could to get to this guy. quickly, wul come learned from previous active shooters, countries getting muche countr a at it. and i knew that it was just a matter of a couple of dayss fy until until this guy turned up and they were doing it right. they were going house to house. they were exercising leads. sean, really quickly, likehey g i like i told you last night, you know, they get up on those structures. you've got tactical units who are dialed in these days. they're doin g what's called slow and deliberate clears. if there's no hostages and, you know, getting through those buildings to exercise those leads safelye leads , to be ablt this guy and bring him in alive. and i think it was don. e right. the fact that he showed uped with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and committed suicid gunso certainly fits the profile of these active shooters. and so the just glad i'm glad the situation is over and i'm glad maine can ove come out andt

glad people can, you know, get back to a normal life. >> and i think hats off to thern law enforcement agencies. i think they moved quickly on thi s one.zing >> they really did. you know, it's amazing. we often talk on this progra me often talk on this progra and point out the left. so very harsh rhetoric against our military, seeing the importance of our military and israel's military tonight. it certainly gives you agi different perspectivves e. h the same with law enforcement that have been called such harsh namela s by the left in this country and attacked and the defund, dismantle, no bail lawsu crowd is out there. but when somethingth happens li what had happened in maine and they're out there fightingd and, looking and searching and protecting, we kind of understanotectingd importance a little bit more. it brings it into a much deeperi focunt s. anyway, thank you both, nicole. thank you, aaron. thank you. coming up, we'll get back to our top story. israel's ground assault in gaza ha bacops begun. we'll have more breaking news. and we are awaiting a press conference outand we of mainepr and much more as we continue this friday. >> newsnight on "hannity" lab

all throughout gaza into israel and even under hospitals forth using the hospital as a shieldta against israel. now, above ground there is thees fractured terrain caused by previous missile strikes. and this all makes for a challenging battlefield. so can israel do to be successful and avoid civilian casualtiessuccessf? we bring in congressman mike. matt, i'm sorry, michael waltzra from florida and also from florida. brian mastso fro. michael, why were there when i was there? and this t during a flare up of tensions? you know, i got to go in theset tunnels and see them for myself. and apparently there are,unknow you know, unknown hundreds of them, a sophisticated network of tunnels, obviously tens, tens of millionson b of dollars spent on building them. it was almosuig t 100 feet deep into the ground. the excavation, they brought me intovation t that. similarly, when i was at the border town of sderot, which

is next to you could see gaza with the naked eye when i went there a number of years ago. s by time, that city had been ht with 10,000 rockets in a period of ten years. the kids played in literally playgrounds that were bunkers underneath the ground because un the enough time nd because with the close proximity to gaza to be able to intoto be able a real bunker. >> the other thing that i saw is i wen reaother tht to the loo department and you could see the rockets that they hauldered recovered and the years that they recovered them. an you could seered them. how much more lethal and dangerous and how bigger they became as the years went on. i'm showing it on the screen mo right now. and, of course, you know, a lot of these these missilesissile being fired have been stopped because of of amazing militaryd that we helped create called cal the iron domlee. that is behind me in that picture right there. right. so my questionurght ther, consig that this has been a threat that has now

for decades and hamas and in the southin and hezbollah in the north continue their nonstat northe fs of these missiles. you know, why did israel. should we have all realizedlier earlie thar that this was a reat war that had already started and they just didn't want to call it a war? well, you know, both the biden administration, both the bideny administration and frankly, the israeli government got lulled into complacence isi y with hamas pretending likeha they wanted to cooperate, that they wanted a better future . atre even the fact that i'm hearingm work the fact that i'm hearingm that the work permits that the israeli government allowed formg workers coming out of gaza went fromf a few thousand to tens of thousands. that we now know the militants ouat we now know the militants

to map out, to conduct reconnaissance, to create caches inside southern israelsui and launch this surprise attack. but i just can't emphasize i . e just can't emphasize >> these tunnels are horrific. hoe there.unnels are horrific. you can't get covering fire from your squadmates. you can't use gps. i expect the israelise use asymmetric, unconventional tactics like floodinasymmetrg t like gassing them, bombing themm with bunker busters whenh they can find them with radar. but they are a rat's nesthey are a rat's that i hope the idf doesn't get bogged down in. and idf gei completely couldn'te more with what secretary pompeoi said and that we would essentially be mowing the grass in gaza and it won't grow back until this administration doesgaza will gr a 180 degree te iran policy. they've gone from 70 billion in foreign currenc70 y reservest down to 4 billion under trump.

it is 10 a.m. here in jerusalem right now. and overnight at the israeli air force, about absolutely pounded the northern part of the gaza strip. we are told by the israeli defense forces that they carried out. 150 separate air strikes against what they said were underground targets in particular. of course, that network of tunnels underneath and around gaza city that hamas has been using to stockpile weapons, to stockpile medical supplies, to stockpile food as they plan for this this coming israeli ground invasion that frankly everyone expects. so israel hit hard at those tunnel networks. they also targeted, as we understand it, leadership of the hamas military wing, in particular. we learned from the idf overnight that they took

out the commander of hamas's aerial division, as they put it, that is the man who was in charge of drone attacks. he was in charge of the paragliders. and you'll remember, of course, in those terrible terrorist attacks of october seventh, some of the hamas terrorists entered israel from gaza using paraglide orders. so israel says that the man who organized those operations has now been killed in an airstrike. so we've also heard that ground forces, israeli ground forces, did go in over the last 12 to 18 hours, a couple of incursions, as we do not know, frankly, whether those are ongoing thing. but all of this, as you rightly say, kevin, appears to be preparing the ground in what may be the final hours or days before that full ground invasion that, frankly, we are all expecting. kevin

1400 killed in israel, 5400 injured, more than 200 currently being held captive in gaza. meanwhile, 7000 or more have already been killed in gaza. jonathan, we're talking about a real humanitarian crisis. more than a million displaced. but as we look at what may be happening in the territory, liz, is there any indication that people are still moving, say, from north to south to try to get out of harm's way? you know, this is the difficulty with the internet and all sorts of communications down in gaza, frankly, kevin, we do not know whether those 1 million people who were ordered by the israeli army to move south below the wadi river, which basically cuts the gaza strip in half, whether they all did get south, we don't know how many people are left in the northern half of the gaza strip, which will be the first major target when those ground forces move in. what we do know very clearly

and has been acknowledged on all sides of this is that there is a humanitarian crisis because the border crossings with israel are obviously all shut down, have been since october 7th. and then the gaza border crossing in the south into egypt also remains shut there has been a trickle of aid that has been allowed in, but it is nothing more than a trickle and those 2.3 million people, most of them now in the south of gaza, but some obviously still in the north really are suffering greatly. very little food, very little water. and you have to believe that the trickle of aid that has got in, remember, kevin, it's still the gaza is still entirely controlled by hamas. hamas has a history of taking the aid for itself. so it is very easy to imagine that that is precisely what has happened with the very small amount of aid that has been allowed into gaza over the last three weeks. kevin the very beginning of

what could be a long day. tremendous reporting. jonathan hunt, as always, please be safe and thank you again for your report. at this hour, we want to remind everybody that fox news will have continuing coverage of the ongoing battle in israel between the israelis and hamas. and of course, an update from cb cotton and others as we continue to follow what had been a manhunt for the mass shooter in maine. that now is over the man, robert cod, dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound late yesterday evening in the meantime, i'm kevin corke here in washington. t the marxists have lis unleashed since the 70s. whether that's in academia, the media, wall street or government institutions or s. eaucracie and then three, this bds movement that has taken over so that so many professors and so many college administration administrators have pushed and allowed. we've actually banned in florida

in on our college campuses. and we need to take that nationwide. but this is this is a lois a lot of people and the left showing their true colors. the left likes to talk about fascism. well, and what country do you have to put extra security on synagogues? do have to shut down jewishn jei schools? i meansh s, what does that sound like. but it's happening right here in the united states here . irro and, you know, the left needstak to look in the mirror when abou fascism and anti-semitism. and it's, you know, institutionsm an of higher learning, brian, all around the country. s you how is it possible h that harvard can have 30 plus separate student groups blaming israel and israel alone for being a victim of terror and, losing 1400 people and having hundreds taken hostage? t how is that possible? and then, of course, the anger?g ,outrage and backlash against

wall street firms that don'tto r want to hire such ignorant, bigoted people and want to know who the people responsible are. i don't blamare i would not wano bigoted people like that that worklutely have no sympathy for victims working for me. so, you know, i'm trying the to understand the logic and why is it so widesprea d? y leag ivy league institutions, colleges from coast to coast. uethen you have hundreds of thousands showing up in in.test great britain in france. ganed a chant out' of australia. gas the jews f the jews ths, bue heard it. it's happening. it's being said it's widespreadn and it shocks the conscience. >> and you can't sayshocks thatt tied to what is taking place inside of the classroom what those professors are out there espousing. we talk frequently about confusioly cn institutes as they relate to china, but a lot of people don't know that there are direct connections to these arab thtions that are funding these

ivy league schools as well. they have entire campuses in qatarleague and other places. and when they make those onnnections, they put in the contract that you can only hire certain professors that these professorsrtaio st only teach co things. and that's one of those places that this kind of propagandane all right. thank you both for staying>> with u thanks. >> mike waltz, thank you. brian meadows thank you. now, thiothes is, another fox ns alert, by the way. >> we are only moments away conft, france,, mass in maine. the suspect in the maine shooting, the mass shooting has now been found dead. we have confirmed it here it'sw has confirmed it. that officially will happen. i assume some questions, answers will take place as well. that's coming up in mere moments. confirme .in the meantime, we bring in fox news contributor. he's been with us all week. ted williams is with us. tragic for the families. relief for the rest of maine, but pain that will never go away for those those. p ai but also, i got to say, you know, there's so much

thiticism of the militare.y and you see the need foryo a strong, tough, mean military. now in israel, don't you?israel you see the need for. america being, the real leader h of the world, the free world. we learn that tonight. and we also learn that, you know, all of o the rhetoric, negative rhetoric against police officers, you knoc agaiw? when something like what happened in maine happens, you pause for a second and boy, they become more important. it really comes into focusomes . >> you know, brad, again, sean, you're so, so right. and let me just say before i talk about a big killer, let me just give a shout out to the citizens of maine. you can now reclaim your livesf and now the citizens of maine. now grieve. 18 dead dogs and injured. you grieve, you can momentum. th, this should have happened.

it is unfortunate that it happened, but did happen.ened. but we also must take our hats off to all of the law enforcement officers, someonee that came from around the countrtheyy and hadas one objective in mind, and that was robert cord. they're all alive and theye weren't there. but so and you could out see thm out there with their guns. these are bravmee men and women that we need to salute here tonight that they have given the citizens of maine. they are lives back.n th and when you look at this o killer, he took the cowardly way out. hikiller hhe up going in and shg innocent people, people who had their lives in front of them or for year old chow at a bowling alley where his father. and that person, that kid was shot. shot

you had a man and a woman in mid seventies in the the twilight of their lives and they couldn't even liv 7e o because of this killer. so my hat is off to law enforcement. i do not give a damn about this. he does care a lot. you can go to as far as i'm concerned. >> all when we look at what took here, we knew that in theey or maine area that they had found his automobile showing and they found a long road him and they found a cell phone. but nobody knew where he was. men, women in law enforcementin had to go and pick him outk hi in the night they found him. we're going to learn a lotin the at this press conference. but again, the weather's the wednesday in this part of citizens of mainethe who can now reclaim their lives, showin g all but all but

the victims, of course, they'll never reclaim their lives, rig as you rightly said. let's talk about the law enforcement efforts here,s here because last night there was a belief, a possibilitst nightyt that they identified a home where he was hiding out and turned not to be the case.he but that was not the only area that they were investigating . awar turns out they were already aware of where his car was parkedwhere . out they were already aware that his boat had been taken out. aware of ty aware of the area he was. i pointed this out on daeyf one when we talk about maine. you're talking about a lot of wooded areaa., a lot of area where people can hide. a manhunt like this can be extraun ordinarily challengig in tough terrain with. so much a wooded area. i would say in the end, approach you know, that multipronged approach, you know, looking in every locatiookinn really did serve them well, didn't it? >> the it served him very well. all these law enforcement officerscers from around the country even volunteered being in the immigration law

enforcement officers that came in to help with this. enfocers thaw what they were dod they did not know, of course, g the location of this person he would have liked to bring to justice as soonstic as possi . but they methodically conducted themselves, as we expect, law enforcement officers to do scerh and i got to tell you this tonight, should give this an country unconditional respecter for the men and women who put on that uniform every day and go to work. those men and women were not going to rest. they were not going to sleep. tothey wanted one. and they had one objective in mind. and that was to find this killer. and as we know, he was found. shawn, from what ind understan too far from his automobile there in a wooded, heavily wooded area by a recycling planng pt where he had once word

and had been terminated from his job. oh, and so law enforcement didht . they had to do during thisthin press conference to make surk we they were going to learn a lot more. but again redundant, redundant, lead the men and the children. they can go about their lives. but the sad commentary, shawn, and the sad commentary is thatve 88-year-old loving people there in maine are dead and they are not coming back.y abou >> and that's the sad commentary about all of this. this.okay. ou ted williams, we'll get back to you after this press conference. it this looks like we're moments'r away. if you've been watching a number of peoplee watchi roave walked into the room. and i've got to imagine we'r e only minutes away. but in the meantime, let us go r top story,othe and that is the ongoing ground incursion into gaza is just one part of what could be a

t forlong, very difficul the world's only jewish state. here now with the very latest in northern israel by the lebanon border. this is where hezbollah has been firing their rockets into israel. we go back to steve harrigan fir with the latest there. >> steve. sean, israeli forces have gone into gaza once again and they've gone in in force. this time they are goingime. in bulldozers with tanks, with armored personnel carrier s and with infantry. they are striking at gaza from the air from the ground, fromsa the sea. and israeli officials say they are evey fn fighting gaza underground. >> the iaf is striking underground targets and terrorisund tat infrastructs in a very significant way following the offensive activitysignif carried out in te last few days. the ground forces are expandingg ground activity this evening. >> something really feels different about tonighdiffert the number of forces increase,

the intensity of the strikes increased. also, the internet, as well as mobile phone lines, haveinias been cut for palestinians in gaza. and israel ii have warned that this urban fighting could take not weekswarned t, but pers months. if that is the case, we couldweu see a second front open up right behind me. that's where hezbollah o has ben lobbing missiles into israel. today, iran's foreign minister said hezbollah has its finger on the trigger. seaniran s, back to you.>> >> if i may ask you, you know, the big fear has been that this becomes a two front war. you would be the second fronta - that would be in the north. >> that would be lebanon, that would be hezbollawabeh. >> are we expecting an increase in missile activity out of thetg north into israel to try and distract and disrupt the operation into gaza against hamas? definitely one of their goals hz right now of hezbollah, kee terrorist organization,

is to keep israeli forces occupied. so even at the level fighting going on now, they're tying up israeli forces here in the north. if we do see a lot of civilianan casualties in gaza, the rockett rate, the amount that they fire and those powerful long range rockets could come into play sean. >> all rightcould come, steve, . all right. a fox news alert. authorities in maine, they beginning.ities in press cn now. we now have learned the suspecow te the shooting is dead. you can see they are jus thet vr the press conference. >> let's listen in. thank you very much for coming to excuse me, coming here on short notice. t i stand here tonight to simply report that this maine state police have located the body of robert card in lisbon. he is dead. >> i've called president biden to inform him about this news. i have informed senator king, senator collins, d ou representative pingree, and representative golden

commissioner sawchuk, and will describe the circumstanc oe of that discovery in some detail in a few moments. dis >>co but this discoverye hu is entirely thanks to the hundreds of locaf lol, state and federal law enforcement members fromover. all over and people from other states as well, people who searched t tirelessly to arrive at this moment. and on behalf of all maine. i want to express express profo my profound gratitudune and fora their unwavering bravery and determinatioven and fortit e and for the leadership of louie lewiston police chief. >> same where you go there. guy >> yeah. that guy, lewiston police chiefe saint pierre. chy people, i'm breathingsigh a sigh of relief tonight knowing that robert card is no longer a threat to. are

this wholeet event to come to au good conclusion. thiour men and women of the lewiston police department, of all of our surrounding agencies, we have with us chief magee here from lisburn where where mr. card was found. this is vitally important to all of us that this conclusion came to light ht tonight. amilie >> we're going to we're going to grieve for the families that lost loved ones here. we're going to continue to work. we're going to persevere. and we've become better people for it is in termsams. of working together as teams. we've learned a lot from some mistakelearned s. mplish we've we've won a lotme. of accomplishments this evening . again, i wasn't really prepared for this on a friday night at 1030, but i'm very happy to be here and very happ hery to say the threat is over. >> thank you. and reaction from your officers when they got to you, sir? >> sure. so our officers are being speak

notified now as we speak. some know, obviously, than others, there are many that are still home, their home i'e certs. oumilie and i'm quite certain at this point in time we all know about this at all. forcemen this is something that all of our law enforcementpersonnerg personnel, ours and any surrounding community has been paying very close attention e news oriting positiv good news. and this is by far the best news we've had quite some time. >> and that was very. was there any belief that this time that the suspect was dead before finding him or did this come as a grand new revelation that never happened before this ? so the reality here is that the search has bee hasn it's ben thorough. it's been nonstop since the minutestarted we started sg with you in long before that. sof th all of these options aren the table, as we knew, we continue to search locations, in some cases multiple times.

and we will have. more information about exactly how this went down. anothgoing to have another brig tomorrow morning at 10:00, and i wouli would d please encor you to think about next steps from your end, information that you would find important. a and i will say that this is notg going to be a long this evening. we wanted to make sure that we got this i a out as fastbeliev as possible and as responsible as possibl e and what i mean by that is that the timefi betweecationn the notification e press release and now it wasn't a lot of detailsetails t. >> there wasn't a lotan of details there because we wanted to talk to the victims familieste tal. we wanted to say this is coming. it's important that they heards. information as close to first as anybody else. and, you kno w, else we called was the family of the suspect. lost and they lost a loved onen this scenario. and therscenare were many of tht family that was very cooperative with us throughout. so they deserve that phone call. so we had those conversations the nigh convers

t before joining you here. we also got a chance to send sometimespend some with the bros and sisters of law enforcement and our public safety partners o incred that we've been so incredibly helpful over the last few dayshe ,to say the least. >> so one second.. so right here, sir, where exactly did you find him? >> on his way back with you. so it's 745 this evening is when card was located. a i won't give you an exact address. it was near the river along androscoggin in lisbon falls you was the actual location. >> ma'am, did you have a question, ma'am? >> did you have a question? when do you think died? >> that all remains to be seen. right? so the reality is that we foundu that body at 745 and it's 1025 now. so bod continues to be a lots to of work that needs to be done isre at the scene with the medil examiner's office. so there's a much, muc much morp to what happened. >> but, sir, did you have a question? any indication indicat you had t

accomplice and have to keep an . i won't be able to answer either one of those questions at this point. accompliceaccomplid thingss andt nature. we've had no indication of that since the very beginningo in o.u but as we've talked about before, these steps are going to be gives us an opportunity to to do things as fasn in tt as we can in the e that we want to provide closure alk atformation, but also slow things down a little bit because we need to look at video evidence. evd look at the various pieces of technology that are in play here and hopes of th that that gives us some additional information around some of the things that you're goings will g to be concerned a. >> yes, ma'am. yes, we understand that. we jus[it found that essentially what we do is walk and search in this particular center and not fountain state. >> and i think that people possibly may have missed the inspire. >> yeah, i'm happy to take a look at that information. hopes that i can get that back to you tomorrow morning at 10:00. that remains to be seen.

again, we have attorney generals that we need to work with and other individuals that are in play here. i'm going to takt10:00 clock.e e questions again, again, with the mindseti wi that it's that it's 10:00 tonight and we do want to come back tomorrow morninck.we wang to have this gn right here at the shelter in place this afternoon. >> and s- o by this afternoon, u were you just looking for k remains or how did you make that decision? >> yr? ge >> yeah, sure. so i think that that was an ongoing conversation since the minute we actually put that in place, we knew that that was an important decision. certainly from our perspective, it made completeao* sense to put that order in place immediately based on the violent and the traumatic nature of these crimes. and asbecause of the things pror the next few days, since wednesda froy, now, we've had ah of conversations with various town and city leadership, with the governor's office, with chief saint pierroffice, e. with business owners, with residents. and we have to have we have tolancin of pluses

and minuses. and we had that initial surge with those communities in those communities made perfectfect sew for an order and as things tended to slow down, we didn't have any immediate threats. we made the decision to back off that. tht wantasked me to mention this because a fellow commissioner had asked me to do thi this.s and i couldk out of here forgetting it. but commissioner camacho said that and passed a law that actually huntingwell restriction has been lifted as well. so. the resident hunting i opportunity for tomorrow is open across the stater of maine to include those four communities with a lot of phone calls that she would receive around that. but righ t, ma'am, reports that these houses got shot? gu yes, i can confirm that is a parent self-inflicted gunshot wound. >> did you have a question, ma'an ve am? u the public search that you're looking for and why was this thher kind of assistance? >> i didn't state that we had searched that area.

>> so. so i'm sorry. that search this area. okay. ve state as we have as we have as we have stated in the pas tryt we y to use information that we can confirm one way or the other. so your reporting ca report n s. something one way or the other, and that's fine. we can talk about that again wet that. orning fine. >> i think we're done taking questions for this evening. thank you very much for than will e and will see you soon. >> thank you. thank you very much. than preciatek you.d >> appreciate your coming here. all right. >> we just heard a press conference. us, were just joining now got full confirmation that robert card i, the shootern in maine, in lewiston, maine, killings, 18 shot, 18 killed a, dozens injured, 18 killed. we heard from the governor, janet mills. we heard from the maine department of public safet ym who. you just saw there. we heard from law enforcement. wew heard a lot of thell o same messages from all of them praising law enforcementf them r

their great work. thoughts, prayers, grief for , o the families of lost loved ones. >> the governor talked about a time for healing. and in the state. and also we did learn one fact the body was, in fact found self-inflicted gunshot wound at 745 this evening. joining us now with reaction w a to this presser, former special agent for the fbi, nicole parker, national law enforcement counterterrorism analyst aaron cohen. ronicole, it seems like in soo y many ways that that enforcement in this case looked at every possible lead that they had and they knew they would get to the right place eventually. a and they did. yes, it's a time for healing for everybody else. i don't know how familieal whes will heal when they lose loved ones like this>>. you know, shawn, having worked with the victims families of the parklans d schoolr heal shooting, you never heal. it's absolutely devastatingy de my lose a loved one, especiallvy

a mass shooting. and my heart goes out to them. and you often here in america, i'm praying for you. oh, let's pray forfo let pray i the community. but, shawn, i would like to enlist all americans right no tw to sincerely pray. because the one thing that's p going to pull you through when you have nowhere else to turn is the power of prayer. and these families are absolutely devastate rn id. and i apologize. >> it's awful.>> no notifications in andlove it's real. d ontheir loved one will never e be on this earth with them ever again. and we need to show honor and respect to the victims. i think in this investigation. understandably so. the effort has been on the manhunt , and that's understandable because the community needs to remain safe. there were deceased individuals. but at the end of the day, their jo at thee dab is to protect those that are still living. >> and so the manhunt was absolutely criticathe mal. hears but now is a time to turn our hearts to the victims

families and those that witnessed these awful atrocities. shawn, were people thatt survived this incident. they have to live with this. these images, the carnage that they saw for the rest of their lives ie . and it is so important that those that had to witness this have noy have shame. n >> go get help.e in go speak to someone. there. no shame in getting mental help. you have been through a loa lott and is very difficult. >> it is very dark. and i also want to give thise . shout out to law enforcement. as someone who has who responded to active shooters. let me explain. you're on an adrenalinlet mee rh for a substantial period of time. the incident occurs. first of all, you're that it even occurred. >> then you're just shyou'ree. think you don't have time to thinkou about yourself. you're going full throttle. you are trying to do everythinto g you can. all hands on deck, conducting the investigations, getting in there and doing tting in what you need to do. >> and then when there's some sort of resolution, whenesf the adrenaline wears off and these officersfi, my heartss and go out to them, because now

the reality is setting in what they've just been through. and they are true heroes. are enforcement, are heroes. and the earlier press conference you heard about iin e believe it was four people in plainclothes that were qualifying at a nearbythes quagn range within a minute and a half of gettine and g that news that they heard over the radio. they were in there. er at that crime scene, although the shooter had already left. what they do. they go towards the gunfire. they put their lives t. on the line, shawn. and americans, this is your chance to say thanis yk you. you see a police officer, you see an agent. you sa ory thank you because its is not an easy task. and they are grilled over the last several years. i am sick and tired of aboute an the defund the police and all of this nonsense. >> you respect the lawd what enforcement and what they go through to protect americans is a lot. so, again, my first heartfelt concer conn for the victims families, first and foremost, always.

let me ask you, as an fbi agente ,you know, you mentioned parkland. you were callehed to the scene. you've witnessed this yourself. i can tell you over the coursets years that i've been in this business. i it was my job that when theree were videos not to turn awaybe from it, but to least be ableha to describe what what exists in this world. and i think i thins hardk it's for good people to wrap their minds around it. and thest imagese are not images that ever leave your mind. it's a it's imprinted. you can't erase those images. as law enforcement having beenn in these situations of mass shootings, you know, what ise st long term impact?u re what do you remembermemb whenrso you first went in there and saw carnage as you have seen? you know, shawn. f foorr me, i joined the fbi because i witnessed the terrorist attacks on september 11th, 2001. and i've said that on your

network time and time agai n. and those images, they don't leave your mind. but i can tellou you that it is important. >> you cannot turn away from it. and americanans, yous, you cannn away from what you are seeing out there because you need to understand ther te is a batte between good and evil going on right now in this country. and you need to pick which sideu're you're on. and i hope and pray that you are standing with good and becae you are seeing it everywhere right now. things are going off the rails in israel, wherever it might be. there is strife. there is a lot. of distress and sorrow. if but i'm telling you, if you stand with with goodness r and you do what is right, you have inner peace even in the midst of turmoil. >> and i can promise you and you reassure you that the power of prayer is real. these victims are going through a lot. their families are going through a lot. these survivors are going through a lot. lo g throan foresman is going throh a lot. we but we will make it through . we will stand united as a country. and again, wd s e to show respee for those that are putting their lives on the line fos r this country. >> aaron, as we look at,

you know, our two top stories tonight, obviously now the shooter or the card is nowpt confirmed dead. >> good news for the people of maine dead. and, you know, obviously maybe closure. i don't know how you ever recovei do howr a family member that lost a loved one. between that and our other top story out of israestory anln ground incursion having begun and a lot of questionse about, how far this is going to spread out, will it be a two front war? will it be bigger than that? what arer th? froghts >> how prepared do you feel israel is on that fron.t? som well, sean, let me just real quick, i want to touch on some nicole statements. she's right. the defund the policdefunde movt has really hurt law enforcement. yoyou know, when you're in lawae enforcement, i've been a reservist fot r 15 years as af unpaid volunteer. e jobsit's one of my favorite js still to this day. training cops in, an active shooter response and high risk trjury respons and it's a reallh

job. and she's right. you know, these officersning tot are training to go into the worst case scenario. nario.and events like this, they're hard to get out of your memory. you know, it's -- it's its own type war. so, you know, again, hats off to chief dave saint pierre. hats off to the to thest. pier colonel in of the maine statecoe police and all the agencies involved here. this thing was put down quietly. . i'm glad he was found dead. but that's enough with this nonsensewith the nonsens againsm enforcement. you know, these are good men and women. they really are. and there's alwaysen a women cod of bad apples in every big organization, sean. but yo iu know, we're seeing heo what these men and women do. they don't get paid a ton of money. tht at end of the day, they're running in the direction of that threat. and sometimes they're one threav their own one or two people. we don't have time to wait for swat teams. we see how quickly these these events unfold. you got to go into that gunfir.e and. it's very stressful. it's a monster chemical. don't it induces tunnel vision,a auditory exclusion, tunnel vision. itu'veve to shoot straight. you've got to shoot into crowds. it's a monster task. and it's time for this nonsense

to stop and it's time to re-embrace law enforcement. so i'm wite foh nicole and my hearts and prayers to the victims and the and the families takin g to israel., i want to see this. t it's about time that the the teeth start to come out, ce iran's proxies. incumy contention at this poinht right now regarding gaza and the incursion or the upcoming khorshingd i keepts hearing about here, this incursion started showing over two weeks ago. >> we're fighting a counterterrorism centric fighe here. that means special operations, israel's. in no rush to put 300,000 troops into gaza. but what is happening right nowt is israeli. the israeli generals who are i gene smart are attacking and destroying systematically the leadership of hamas insideha of gaza. in my opinion,s insi in to disrt the control and communications of the bottom line. terrorists in those tunnels when they can't communicate, they're going to get frazzled.

ed.they're to be disorganized,i and they're going to have to be able to think on their own. and i don'doeyt think they can it as well. there's a lot of organization and planningnizationng the lastl years that went into thisthis octobe octr massacre. israel's got a lot of catching s of the lackerm of intelligence because we pulled out several backterterrorist units oveunter years, dating all the way back to 97, the oslo accords. we tried to have peace, wended disbanded and we lost a couple un reallt y good units. one of my own, one ofs up the sister units of my units loa that dresses as locals in order to kidnap those terrorists and bring it back to israeal, os thwart potential attacks. >> there's a lot of catching up to do, but right now, israelotal is exacting the complete and total destruction of hamas as you're seeing in these images that you're playing. thbe surprised, ha shawn, if there are active operations that are reachingithh as far out in conjunction with the us military in response to the attacks on those u.s. soldiers. i would not be surprised if theye's operations targeting the aleppo airport, those runwayg s which are used

as travel routes to be able to get equipment, arms and missiles to hezbollah. israel's strength is in its pre eminent ability.u ba i'll take you back to 67.ck the reason why israel stayedis on the map is because we preempted or israel preempted.rn and according to my source, therg y sourcee are multiple ops being conducted well without of our borders in conjunction with u.s. assets. you've got the aircraft carriers off the coast right now of the mediterranean patrolling any additional supplies that come in. you've got israeli special neerationsg in neutralizing hezbollah by the dozens, sean. israel is attacking the entire proc system of logistics and supplies. and i want to tell you, we had oliver north on.aid ou he's brilliant. he laid out a six point plan. i hopea biden is listening in.b president biden's got to appease and do what he's go

do in order to avoid saying we've got a larger regional problem here. but the fact, sean, we do. iran has an interest and thatan is to attack the west. israel is just the tip of that littlek th operation. israel will take care of business. the palestinians are trapped. queen rania needs to stoped appeasing the arab world. she needs to allow the palestinians, along with the egyptian the egyptian president, to allow those palestinians that are trapped inside of gaza to move into jordan and move into egypt and like the colonel said, they need to be checked them to be documentedd dour. ug we got to make sure there's no terrorists moving through there. the tunnels. i want to talkths. to that becauset you asked a smart question. why don't we just use advanced technologywhy no to blow them u? so only one reason, sean, there's over 200 hostages being held in those tunnels. you've been in there. they go very deep below the ground. and if we destroy them ,ority our number one priority is the preservation of lifeis. lon israel is no longer listening wt

or playing to any of theh rhetoric. like i've said before, with yoyu ,the gloves are off. israel is in complete preemptd e of attack mode, in my opinion, and the world needs to understan undd. and that the real terrorist threat is iran and has to have k an honest conversation about taking on.e done however, it needs to be donee ti because focus and their revolutionary revolutionary guard and their terror proxiest. are focused on the west. israel's just a small piecea sml of this. israel will handle business hat off to alll e of over north andn stand by. you're seeing israel what itnow. does. israel is surviving right now and they are using e usin aggressione hi as a tactic with the highest degree of selectivity to preserve life for the hostages as well, the hundreds of thousands of palestinians. and by the way, yes, we're cuttin pg off phone lines. terrorists use phones. those are done. electricit y, power done.w ti

it's showtime. israel has, the right to defend itself. and she's doing so now with. >> a selectivity and aggression . >> great analysis, aaron. great analysis. nicole, appreciatenalysi both oy being here. as we stay with our top story, the ground war in gaza witr to s begun. and this brings us to a very, very important questiounn whethr or not israel is forced to open a two front war. what role should the u.s. play? how do we protect our american soldiers in the region and deter an uy from iran withou sparking a world war or entire breakout of war in the entire region? k out joining us once again is r secretary of state. our friend mike pompeoining us . >> mr. secretary, to follow up a little bit on a very analysis by both colonel north and you and aaron, who we just heard. nh so with this ground war beginning, certainlywe the net result that israel is going to need out of this is that

neither gaza nor lebanon can remain launching pads for rockets fired into israel. the second very important goal has to be the tunnels which we spoke of earlier, the network of tunnels. so i want to walk through this, if i can, with you.e fi front by front. sors the first front first battn is going to be gaza. r hathat ground war has begun. now, we would expect that hezbollah going to ratchet up their rocket attacks from the north. now we havrocket ae a two front then you have the threat of syria. about the threat of the houthi rebels from from yemen. and then the iranians themselves. e irand what the strategy has th to cut off the the head of thein snake. but if it's a one front war,k i think they handle it. i think they can handle the two front war. the mostyou see trouble and the greatest danger for israel right now? and how would you go about? >> i how abot?

>> well, sean, i agree. the more fronts, the more complexity. >> we should also remember that there are diplomatic and political as well that are n being confronting just today at the united nationtodas, onlye countries voted against demanding a complete ceasefire c of the victim. and so they've got a very complex information campaign inr that they are fighting as well. and now they're going to be fighting the biden administration b that hasan pau demanded a humanitarian pause. we all know that's sillysewe kn, right? >> $1,000,000 going there is going to be milli $100 millio worth of more fuel and $1,000,000 worth of tunnel reinforcementsn doll , $100 million more munitions. that's what the hamal ress. terrorists will actually use that money for. >> so they've got they've got that informationat's wha warfart as well. the united states can play the central rolentra preventing these other fronts from opening. >> so i think you may have evene neglected another front, judea and samaria, the west bank. >> a america could have a role a in keeping containment in the west bank. >> it can do good work making clear to the regime in iran

that will be real costs imposed on them. colonel north did a fine job of talkingem. about.a >> some of them, for example, today, sean, today , 4 million barrels of crude oil was sold by the iranians just as we sat here today while they're holdin barrelgs sold americans hostage. and their foreign minister was in new york. we the do simple things, things that are non-kinetic, that can impose real costs. the iranian leadership convincing them that they need to restrain these proxn leadery. a second, when they come after americans, you can't just fire back at munitions when they when they attack american soldier bacs and weicay fire at ammunition depots, that basically that validates that that seconds the iranian understanding of the weakness that the iranian leadership saw in afghanistan, that they have seenn th when the chinese spyn l balloon flow over our country. we have to get america back on its front foot in a waythe that actually will that will convince iranians that opening up these other fronts would be a detriment to thefrontsm, not to their pro, not to the folks in iraq or in yemen, but to them. >> if we get that right, sean,re

we can deter more fronts than the israelis can handle. and then we just need to give the israelis all the space, make decisions for themselves to do the necessary, which is to ensure that something like what happened on october soh never is possiblre whae of happening again to them. >> no, i can't say it any better. it is sa i id to, you know,t the fact that all of this money, international aid money, american taxpayer dollars have been spentan to help build infrastructure, schools, hospitals and all of thadt money wasted on a network of tunnels and a terror network for one purpose. and that is the stated goal in hamas's charteramas, which is the elimination of of israel with the help support the scheming militare scy, ificl plotting, planning of iran. specificallyly what should the world's reaction to iran be. le gt go back as secretarymp of state during the trump administration, you guyswould i accomplished something i never thought i'd see in my lifetime .

you created an alliance betweenn the unitedit states and israel and egypt and jordan and saudi arabia and the emirates. and you stood together, had intelligence sharing at levels we'd never had before, mostly a private relationship. but i was very aware of it when i'd interview you, you'd w give me a little smileould, whi kind of let me know that i was on the right path and i wassoure trying to put pieces from sources together. sgether.but your cia roots wered very strong. you never gave m.e a real clue. but i know we had this. can you talk about alliance?t li can we.neag can we achieveai that alliancen? again? and. and it was really to stand against iranian hegemony in the region and them ever getting a nuclear weapon. k >> can we get back to that? >> we certainly can.n le but it takesader american. >> you're right. our theory of the case was thi swe kne we wanted good things for

the palestinians, but we knew in order to get that appeasing iran wasn't the direction for that. ir notin the same way, demanding that israel stand down is not good for the people who are livingbdin gaza either. we understood that iran was a threat, noat only to israel,ti the little satan, and to the united states, the great satasraen, but a threat to peope living in the kingdom of saudi arabia, people living in bahrain, living in the emirates. and we isolated iran. we had we had literally forn the first time had iran on an island stuck trying to figure out how it is they're going to get back from the pressure that had been put on the tmbega economic pressure, diplomatic pressure. and when they began to act act y a military pressure show and remember, too, wr aboue very. clear about our support for israel. >> not only did we move the embassy from moved tel aviv to jerusalem, but we declared the golan heights the rightful property of the jewish people,ie the rightful homeland. those were things that that so much in the establishment foreign policy said. those will create world war three. wello create, we can see you cre risk of that very kind of regional, even potentially

global conflagration when you're weak, when you inviteanso the iranians to do precisely what they did by unleashinog hamas on 1300 civilians in then southern part of israel. we have to understand and both of your stories tonight on make clear, i think to all of us here in america, evil still roam as earth and there is ay to responsibility to ensure that when it happens , when that evil exposes itself, that we do everything we can to prevent it from those who are good human beings trying to do the right thing. we knoeingw the victim is here. we know who the aggressor is here. and america simply needsaggress. to stand on the side of those people who are fighting for basic human decency. ul >> i wish we could bringthat that message to every college and university acros s countrycross that has taken positionsth that are incomprehensible to me. thank you, mr. secretaryot. >> i know we kept you up a lotht late tonight. we appreciate all your. supportu here with reaction, fox news contributor tammy bruc, sean.e r along with nassau county, new york, executive blakemanot

is with us. bruce, i want to start with you. you just tri back from a trip to israel, very aware of their e their security challenges feel that have. what did you observe? how prepared did you feel they were when you metth u officials there? r terr well, i met with the leadersor of the counterterrorism center in herzliya. i met with military leaderwiths officials, president herzog. and i felt that they had a goodd handle on security. but obviously, hamas had been planning this action for quite some time with the help of iran. let's naand let's narrow the fos of the debate. this is a war against evil's not a war against islam. it's not a war about palestiniainian rights. it's a war against baby killersn and . oyed and until hamas is destroyed and eradicate rid, the worldn will be in jeopardy. concerning

our peaceful coexistence. coexhey need to be destroyed and we need to support israel in that endeavorye. ae >> let me let me askt a different question of tammy and of joe concha, and that is the horrific reporting of the very biased and corrupt, abusively biased and, corrupt news media in this country. >> and, you know, tammy, just mmy, loolook the hospital storyp great example where every major network, every major newspaper, you know, every worldwidmajoe agency, you know, went along with hamas propaganda that israel bombed the hospital. all the evidence comes in andahd many of them still won't acknowledge they made a mistake or makwledgee correction and pre to do better in the future. they took hamas propaganda, something israel was not responsible for and somethinpltn that actually never happened. that is a problem because then israel to defendsi had to give p some of their intelligence gathering capabilities gatheri.

>> certainly not good for them to do it. it seemse to strange to everyons but the reality is that they believed it because they wanted to believe it. and they continue to statee thed they won't forgive israel for not having done it. and the reason hamas had to try to lay the blame on israel is because israel hae israels bn careful. they have been specific about what they've been strikingc of w . and as this expands, yes,lians more civilians will diwie. e it hamas's arranged that to be the case, but it tells you that this desperation with worldwide leftisldwidet media, the legacya of the world, it wasn't just american universities, it's universities in the western world, in civilization.s it wasn't not justd th american media. it's media around the world.on and for western civilization that have been effectively where this cancer has metastasized. to so their argument still is thatl they're used to creating

reality based on their reporting. they will not forgivthey will ne israel is following the rules. and so they needhe make it up as though israel was not. it's like the fake hate that we see from people who are desperate to become the victims. and if they're not being victimizedmize and ruins the narrative, they will do it themselves. the meditha is the worldwide media. the worldwid e academic dynamic, and certainly certain governments are still struggling with what they've allowe d to enter into their nations. and also, as a result, what they've dona resulte with i own governmental agencies and the push for diye pu and. ee >> all of this is coming down on everyone right now. joe this is what you you study and deal with all day. very abusive biased and corrupte news media in the country. i don'ent think it's ever been worse. thatsame people that live for three years about a russia hoax that never happened. and they got pulitzer prizes

. no no apologies, no clarifications, no corrections, no change in policy.el they just they continue selling and conspiracy theories. >> that never ends. and sean, in this case, the consequences are life and death consequences. when i look today and still seei the associated press, a newswireat. reporting from palestinian officials or the gazan health ministry, death toll numbers on the side of in terms of what's happening there, they're still quoting these so-called officials,alleda the officials, palestinian officials, gaza health ministryh is hamas. they're conducting a war, obviouslis. y the ground and a propaganda war in the press. and the american media, mostamen of them anyway, not all, n are aiding and abettinotg sort d of reporting by saying that the death toll. is this becausg thise says that except they don't say it's hamas. they say it's palestinias.n officials. this only inflames the middle

east. ity only helps expand this ware beyond israel and beyond gaza, places like lebanon and syria and iran. and unti, syria anl there some responsibility or more importantly, some accountabilitd acbilityy. r we're worried that we're in a really bad place right now. there's an information crisima and we have many in this media, unfortunately, leading that crisis john. sean.>>joe concha, tammy bruce,u brad blakeman, thank you allhe p being with us. type two diabetes. discover the olympic tri zone. o >> oh, sweo big.st some i got the power of i learned my a1, c, c d risk and lost, the t. in studies. the majority of people reached an agency under seven andov maintained it. i'm under seven ozempic lowers the risk of major cardiovascasct filler events such as stroke, heart attack or death in adults, also with known in adults, also with known hear t. in adults, also with known hear >> i'm lowering my risk. adults lost up to £14.c® i i lost some weight. ozempic isn't for people with typesnwith typ diabetes. don't share needles or pens orda reuse needles. don't take ozempicmily ed if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer or have multiple endocrine neoplasi endocri2,
