straight to nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel in ashkelon, israel. richard? >> reporter: so, jose, as you can see right now all of these plumes of smoke in the air, this is hamas rocket fire. and it began on schedule. it is now just two minutes after 5:00 in the evening. and hamas, about an hour ago, warned that there would be strikes like this at 5:00 exactly. and just before the top of the hour, the rocket fire began. i think in the last couple of minutes we have seen dozens, maybe more than dozens of rockets fired at this city as hamas said would happen. now the reason hamas said that it is firing here is in retaliation for israeli air strikes into gaza. if you go up into the sky, you can still see a lot of the smoke trails. and you'll see these little circles. those little circles are where the iron dome interception system has exploded. so the way the iron dome works is as the rockets come in, and i very much suspect there will be more of them soon, the iron dome system deploys, and in midair destroys the rockets. now, this is also part of a psychologica

richard, thank you indeed for joining us. richard: thank you.iona: israel has denied claims it was responsible for the hospital strike in gaza. earlier on tuesday our partners from cbs news reported sources saying israel requested $10 billion in emergency military aid. we are joined now by tom bateman. what is the latest from the scene? an already overwhelmed hospital and still no sign of aid coming. tom: absolutely. the images we have seen of what happened in the aftermath of that explosion are extremely disturbing. a scene of total devastation. the street outside this particular court hard -- courtyard where i was told around 1000 displaced people were sheltering. that came from one of the anglican church official that runs this institution, the hospital. about 1000 people there. we have seen maimed casualties being pulled out on stretchers. the streets outside, total construction, cars burned out, a blackened and charred scene with dead and wounded there. and what people are saying there, some of the medics and other residents there trying to

richard matters, journalist and commentator in vienna. also shabia rizby, political commenter is in chicago. okay, welcome to the show, gentlemen, uh, beginning uh with richard. richard, one basic question, who should pay the price of thousands of innocent lives in gaza? thank you for having me on the program, sure that uh, the thing is that we we can't just uh hold the israelis accountable, this is really being done with the uh the united states supplying the infrastructure, the weapons uh for israel to carry out this genocide, and of course the politicians in westminster and in brussels who are not only giving israel uh support through logistics, intelligence and military. means, but also the political and media cover that it requires. uh, we've seen in the united kingdom now, and and really the entire west, this ground work being laid for years and years where it's become impossible to criticize uh the israelis because they start lobbing this accusation of antisemitism of people, which is which is preposterous. um, the the israelis can

uh, beginning uh with richard. richard, one basic question. who should pay the price of thousands of innocent lifes in god? thank you for having me on the program, sure uh, the thing is that we we can't just uh hold the israelis accountable, this is really being done with the uh the united states supplying the infrastructure, the weapons uh for israel to carry out this genocide, and of course the politicians in westminster and in brussels who are not only giving israel uh support through logistics and and military means, but also the political and media cover that it requires, we've seen in the united kingdom now, and and really the entire west, this ground work being laid for years and years where it's become impossible to criticize the israelis because they start lobbing this accusation of antisemitism of people, which is which is preposterous. the israelis can only function with the support of the west, famously said that... israel is as weak as a spider's web, so the second, the the weapons stop coming in from the west, the second the poli

richard nixon was smart. had this soundest strategic sense of any american president of theodore roosevelt. understanding how the pieces of the international puzzle fit together and if you move this over there, this will slide. to do this in a way that will improve american. why did he going to politics? that is what i cannot figure out. politics is usually the arena where people who like other people go. people who are happy to stand on the corner when the shift is getting off of the factory and say hi, i like your vote. richard nixon was painful in the small talk. i hesitate to tell the story because the punchline has to be explained in advance. i happen the grove in milwaukee. she became her own prime minister. she had a foreign minister. you are a crossword puzzle aficionado, you know that. he was educated in oxford. he spoke with an impeccable accent. he was foreign minister of israel. in america's foreign minister, which is the same as the secretary of state. if you have paid any attention to career, yo

let's speak to richard. are you there? served with the idf, have advised the israeli government in the past. you are well-placed to tell us how this camebout, how this was such an intelligence failure on the part of the israelis. richard:: before that, we need to understand the situation israel was in with hamas just up to a week ago. the motors up around the for the last three years has been a misconception that hamas were actually interested in governance, interested in improving the economy and the lives of gazans. therefore israel was in intimate dialogue, mostly facilitated by egypt. on the agenda until a week ago was the idea of expanding work permits for gazans, improving imports, exports, expanding the fishing zones. even though hamas has an agenda, they have some pragmatism to it. that has blown up literally in israel's faces. they thought there was a dialogue with that completely failed. in terms of the intelligence failure, this will go into an inquiry after the event. there was also an operational failure. as y

richard, thanks for staying up to join us.do you make of this statement from hamas, why are they doing, it what do you think it means? they doing, it what do you think it m eans >> i think it's a very significant thing, rachel. and i think it means that there is movement on this issue after hearing nothing from hamas. hamas said that it is holding 200 hostages. it said that other groups, however, in the gaza strip are holding more hostages. so, they are talking about with, the military wing of hamas, 200 -- and then 50 or more according to the spokesperson of hamas inside the gaza strip total. and among those, 200 let hamas says it's holding, it says there's an unspecified number of foreign nationals. and that it is willing to hand them over, that it wants to hand them over, that it doesn't believe that they are a party to this conflict, and that it has no issue with them. and it will hand them over when the conditions are right. as you said, what does it mean when the commissions, conditions are right? also, if you hours ago,

okay, thank you richard, let me go back to daniel and beirout. uh, daniel, uh, what would you imagine would be the ultimate goal uh of the zionist entity in this war that it has weised on the people of gaza, because hamas, palestinian fighters and people in gaza, they insist and they've announced this loud and clear that they are not going anywhere. yeah, it's a good question, and i think the maximum goal if you think about is uh for israele regime is to get the maximum amount of land that they can under their control with the smallest amount of palestinians possible, and it's stretches through the history of of zianism, the expansion of of colonies, the expansion of... settlements and to get as much of the land as possible and as you know we've seen from the side of the israeli regime all of historical palestine is considered uh israel according to them, if we look at maps, it is already considered one land which they refer to as israel, so palestinians are already dehumanized and removing the indigenous people uh from their land as part and par

richard: it could.pimco we tried to distinguish between a neutral bond yield on the 10 year and the neutral fed funds rate. we will be in a world of steeper yield curves but there's no doubt we really do not have a consistent fiscal policy in the u.s.. we will probably in a world of steeper curves for sure. guy: the neutral rate always interesting to see it with hindsight. what we can observe right now is a very fast move. do you think the fed will be comfortable of the speed of the move we see in the market? richard: so far, fed officials have had a chance and not really taken the opportunity to push back against this. my own sense is to the extent this move does reflect higher bond yields because of so much treasury issuance, it is not something the fed would want to lean against. it does some of the fed's job for it. if moves get extreme or persistent it could get the fed engaged. alix: alan from deutsche bank saying the reason for 75 pips in the 10 year was the tightening for the fed. what looks unr

richard engel is reporting near the israel-gaza border. richard, i'm happy to lay eyes on you. thanks for staying up to join us. what do you make of the statement by hamas, why they're doing it? what do you think it means? >> reporter: i think it's very significant, rachel. i think it means that there is movement on this issue after hearing nothing from hamas. hamas said that it is holding 200 hostages. it said that other groups, however, in the gaza strip are holding more hostages. they're talking about hamas with 200. the military wing of hamas. and then another 50 or more according to the spokesman of hamas inside the gaza strip total. and among those 200 that hamas says it is holding, it says there are an unspecified number of foreign nationals and that it is willing to hand them over. it wants to hand them over. it doesn't believe they are party to this conflict and that it has no issue with them, and that it will hand them over when the conditions are right. as you said, what does it mean when the conditions are right? but also, a few hours ago, just slightly before hamas

well, richard, i wonder whether you might just a word to are britain's role in this? well, yesterday there was a vote in the un security council about whether you, they come to an agreement, they could agree a resolution to call a sp, just see five, and of course you know our representative at the un in new york just. wanted to to um support us resolution while vetoing everything that the russians had proposed. now there is no difference between the us text and the russian text, the only the only tiny tiny uh spec of difference was that the russian text did not explicitly call for you underscoring israel's right to self-defense, um, which is of course a phrase that is always used to kind of um, you know, to silence the palestinian's right to self-defense and uphold what israel is doing in um in palestine, which is, i mean to call that self-defense, bombing hospitals and churches and mosks, isn't a thing, so you i find this really telling that usually israel of course goes into gaza and they they bomit, they kill thousands of people, and the world looks the other way,

there's richard. your plans are though, richard.ost money. you're going to cost money. you're going need to build more going to need to build more prisons. correct. the cost prisons. yes, correct. the cost of accommodating an adult prisoner this country is prisoner in this country is approximately year. approximately £40,000 a year. right eton is cheaper. so how are you going to pay for it? >> actually very simple. >> it's actually very simple. the of building prison the cost of building a prison place there currently about place there currently is about half million a place that's a half a million a place that's a palace. in most people's eyes, it's completely absurd. i've worked people who can put worked with people who can put up very cheap , cost effective up very cheap, cost effective detention centres , prefab, detention centres, prefab, prefab type places as sort of, you know, i use the wrong word, but a sort of prefab portakabin type places but secure. you can do that for a fraction of the price and yes, you can get people d

istanbul, a large turkish city, as uh, i'm going to put my next question to uh richard, richard, uh, the western media and also western officials uh have been really expressing their full support for the israeli regime, some of them funding it directly like the us, is big military package again, mr. biden is asking uh, americans representatives, actually to. package in addition to what the us is actually funding and providing to israel on annual basis, and the mids of this, it doesn't seem that the western media and their leaders have been successful spreading all those lies regarding hamas fighters and the palestinians especially in gaza, and do you see still we have every day we have more and more rallies, israeli actions and pouring out their sentiments regarding the apply to palestinians in gaza. yes, i think, i think the media has been persuaded by these demonstrations to take a more balanced view, and that more balanced view includes portraying the demonstrations around the world. and the images of suffering and devastation in gaza that are being caused by israeli military atta

>> well, i was listening to richard talking before.f that macro politics and international affairs, like i want to talk about something basic. i want to talk about family. okay. we just completed a press conference that similar families like myself, dual citizens, u.s. citizens as well. we have about ten of us identified here in israel where family members either are in hostage or missing. and like any family, listening to us now, i'm sure the basic thing that you want is to be together with your family. and be there on those special moments. our family, this saturday, is intending to celebrate its bar mitzvah of my youngest son. itay stayed at his base, the previous weekend in order to be home this weekend with us and celebrate. that's what we want. we want to be able to be together, whole, as a family. celebrating, you know, our special moment, and special occasions, like any family that is listening to us now. >> yeah, take me back to last saturday. when is it that you last heard from him? and since? >> so, itay last communicated wi

richards built up a large following on youtube channel. as work has also been published on numerous international news outlets, including the black agenda report, press tv, almaye dean, and welcome to the show. david, israel's bombed hospitals, schools, mosks, a church, residential buildings. i mean, what does it say about israel's strategy here? well see, we can't be that this is not. what israel says is doing, it says trying to defeat hamas and of course what it's trying to do is to bomb gaza into the storage and indeed to try and kill so many people that there's no viable population left there and to force the rest of them out into sina, they want them to leave into sin so that they can reoccupy the gazas and uh never allow the palestinians back in again, so this would be refugees who had been expelled in gaza and now trying to expell them again, so this is the... the objective this is the second nap, the killing or expulsion of palestinians, it's nothing to do with attempting to target hamas, of course they haven't done that yet, becau

so that is what richard viguerie has been up to.i told my conservative friends at the heritage foundation, many that use to come to my home for breakfast every wednesday, don't worry, it has taken me 20 years to learn how to do this, it's going to take them 30 or more years because i'm smarter than they are. not so. within five years, others on the left caught up with the conservatives and far surpassed us in my opinion but i wouldn't dream of flying an airplane with a pilot who had the skills the average conservative marketer, most people learned by their gut feeling, none of us go to a doctor who will learned by the seat of his pants. the liberals basically have about 20,000 single issue organizations, conservatives about 1500. they raise 700% more money from 700% more donors. >> host: you talk about food force organizations which are what? >> guest: i'm a big exponent organizations, not third-party but third force. the liberals have 20,000 single issue organizations out there. think if obama, former president obama called a meeti

i want to go to richard engel. the question now for so many of those other families whose loved ones are still being held, is this release a one-off or is it the very beginning of perhaps the dam breaking and the further release of other people by hamas? >> reporter: so, i'm in touch with a -- one of the negotiators who's directly involved in this, one of the people who confirmed to nbc news early on that this release had, in fact, taken place, and he hopes that this is just the beginning, that this is just the start, and we have been in touch with hamas over the last several days about this issue, and hamas has expressed a willingness to release civilians, to release foreign passport holders, not to release israeli soldiers, but what we saw today, which is changing everything, is that hamas actually did it. it did it under tremendous pressure. it did it under tremendous pressure from the arab world. it did it under tremendous military pressure. the group is being attacked relentlessly, day and night, by the israel
