Write down our toll-free telephone number this Friday.
It is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of this program, we got a lot of ground to cover today.
There's a lot of news unfolding as we speak.
Trey Yankster, we're going to play some of his reports later in the program today.
I mean, wow, he was under fire, taking heavy gunfire yesterday.
His tensions were in Israel.
It's not the easiest job in the world being a war correspondent.
And I don't really care at this point what network you're at.
Anyone that's over there, I give a lot of credit to.
We have been in war zones before ourselves.
And I'm never afraid.
It's just in the back of your head, you're like, wow.
I remember when I left Iraq and, you know, I just kept thinking, wow, I've been here a couple of days.
These guys are here for a minimum of a year where it's their fourth deployment or third deployment, whatever it happened to be.
I'm like, you know, what is your mind thinking then?
You know, for people that don't believe that PTSD is real, you're just ignorant of what people live through.
It is very real.
Anyway, our prayers are with Israel because at this hour, Israeli troops have entered Gaza and they have begun the process of now defending and clearing out Hamas from all of Gaza.
We saw this, the beginnings of this last night, especially in the second hour.
I'm doing two-hour coverage while this conflict is going on.
And anyway, at the end of last, well, the 5 a.m. hour, it's like the 4 a.m. hour is 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Pacific, and it's 4 a.m. in Gaza.
Okay, just to give you some of the time differences, that 4 a.m. hour and that 5 a.m. hour, 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern, it seems to have the most activity.
But, you know, by the time I woke up this morning and I was reading local reports, there had been over 750 targets hit while we were doing TV last night.
So in just a two-hour period.
And anyway, now, and there's been much speculation.
The 24-hour period, I believe, is coming to an end very shortly.
Israel gave the UN and the people of Gaza one final warning, and they made sure everybody got the warning, and that is to get out.
Now, one of the things Trey Yangst, along with taking gunfire yesterday, reported is that Hamas has been preventing civilians from leaving their homes amid these Israeli airstrikes.
And that is very true.
And those that have tried to get into Egypt are being turned away.
Now, I've interviewed General Al-Sisi, the head of Egypt, and you have to wonder, you know, why wouldn't they receive some of the refugees, or at least the children or whatever?
Remember, we showed you cartoons this week.
A lot of these children in Gaza are radicalized from birth.
It is unbelievable.
These cartoons, they are taught to hate the Jews, to kill the Jews.
And it's just indoctrinated hatred from the earliest ages.
But anyway, so this, what has to happen here as this war now, this ground portion of this war has begun.
Last night was about hitting strategic Hamas targets all throughout the region, all throughout Gaza.
The initial outcome has to be that Gaza can no longer be used as a launching ground for Hamas to fire missiles due to its close proximity to Israel and the border.
And having been to the border towns, you look out on the horizon and with the naked eye, you can see Gaza.
And, you know, it's sort of like in the middle of a desert.
I don't know if any of you have ever flown to Vegas.
It's kind of a weird experience.
You're flying, you're flying, you look out the window, it's dark, it's dark, it's dark, and then boom, in the middle of nowhere, a city emerges.
And that's Vegas.
And then you get to the strip and it's like, wow, you know, you can't see enough lights.
But that has to be the initial outcome.
Now, what they do from there, once they finish, there will be a war breaking.
There's a war here.
There will be conflict.
There will be shooting.
There will be bombings.
There will be exchanges.
People are going to die on both sides.
Our prayers are with everybody.
Let this be done expeditiously.
The best thing would be for Hamas to lay down their arms and not put at risk innocent people that they are using as human shields.
But why would you ever expect people that have pure evil and hatred in their heart to all of a sudden, you know, have a road to Damascus experience and say, oh, we're going to stop this?
Understand it is their charter in Hamas that calls for the very destruction of Israel.
But this ground invasion on one level has now started.
And Trey Yanks reporting from southern Israel earlier this morning that Israeli forces have now gone into Gaza.
And he said, quote, we're learning right now, breaking.
The IDF has told Fox News that Israeli forces have entered the Gaza Strip today, both infantry forces and tanks to conduct localized raids.
This is not yet the full-scale invasion, but obviously that's what it's ratcheting up to.
And everybody has been anticipating.
Now, that's the first part of this.
The goal has got to be this, this Gaza will no longer, maybe parts of it will be uninhabitable.
I mean, the amount of airstrikes that Gaza has been withstanding in just a week's period is fierce.
And when you look at the precision targets that Israel has taken out, I mean, there's entire areas that have been taken out.
They have to.
How many more rockets can be fired from Gaza into Israel and arrive in 13, 15 seconds, even with the Iron Dome?
It doesn't get everything.
It's very effective.
I've seen it up close and personal.
It works.
I mean, it is masterful.
But, however, it can't stop every rocket, as we learned last weekend.
It can't stop every attack.
But Israel now must end this as a staging area and a launch area for Hamas.
They have used hospitals as shields.
They have used schools as shields.
They have used young people as shields.
And they're using now hostages as shields.
They're using the Palestinian people that want to leave and get the hell out of there as shields just to advance their radicalism.
And then, of course, the gullible media in America will come out.
See, we've been telling you, look at Israel.
See, look at the atrocities that they've committed.
The funny thing is, and I've been saying it every day, but I think some people are getting it, others are not.
If Hamas laid down their arms today, well, nobody would die.
Nobody.
Israel would go in, take control, and prevent any further attack from ever happening again.
If Israel lays down their arms, they will cease to exist.
It'll be over.
The country, you know, from land to the sea, as they were chanting at Washington University out there in Seattle, whatever it is.
Iran is now making their threats known.
A top Iranian official now warning: quote, the hostile parties may join the war against Israel if Israelis' military doesn't halt the attacks against Hamas in Gaza.
You know, if Israel really wants safety, security, and a chance of peace in the region, two things need to happen with Iran.
Now, I'm not talking about America getting into a war.
So, all of you, you know, that think that's what I'm referring to here, you need to calm down.
Not at all.
I think Israel is capable of doing it.
They might need some weaponry support.
And by the way, the only thing they're asking from the U.S., they're not asking for boots on the ground, nor would we give them.
They want moral support and they want munition support that they're even willing to pay for.
So that should be forthcoming as much as they need to defend themselves against terror.
And may I remind everybody that after 9-11-01, when we lost 2,977 Americans in a single day, Israel stood in solidarity immediately with us, including the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, with the moral clarity that was needed, his voice needed at the time.
But now the question goes to Iran.
During a visit to Beirut, Iranian foreign minister accusing Israel of war crimes.
Meanwhile, to the number one state sponsor, a terror, saying war crimes against Palestinian civilians, and they demanded an immediate end to Israel's retaliatory strikes.
Okay, the key word being retaliatory.
These strikes wouldn't have occurred had they not killed in a single day over 1,300 Israeli innocent citizens, including children that they beheaded, including women that they beheaded and burned and raped and babies that they burned.
America is now calling on all parties for self-restraint.
It's allowing the criminals of the fake Zionist entity to kill women.
It's all just propaganda.
These are the lies that they have been telling and that the people in Gaza have been hearing since they're children.
It's so sad.
Israel's military even released a photo of the black and white flag of ISIS during their live updates of the Israeli-Hamas war on Thursday.
That flag was found near the Gaza border in a local neighborhood, what they call a kibbutz, and one of the agricultural communities attacked by Hamas on Saturday.
The IDF shared a separate photo on X, formerly known as Twitter, asserting that Hamas brought ISIS flags to massacre Israeli children, women, and men.
Hamas is a genocidal terrorist organization, wrote the IDF.
Hamas is worse than ISIS.
Hamas, by the way, claims 13 hostages were killed by Israeli airstrikes.
Again, I would take all of this with a grain of salt.
They are terrorists.
They have no problem killing innocent men, women, and children and beheading children.
Anything they say is worthless.
But they will be gullible members of the media mob that go along with the lies and the attacks, etc., etc.
Iran's foreign minister is meeting with Hezbollah to plot the possible attack on Israel, and they would be fighting a two-tier war.
Well, let me tell them what the outcome of that is going to be.
Israel is going to, and I'll tell you what the outcome of the war in Gaza is going to be.
Israel is going to win.
And if they have to fight a war on two fronts, let me tell you what the outcome of that is going to be.
Israel is going to win.
Israelis now have warned civilians.
They've warned the UN.
You have 24 hours.
That 24-hour period is nearly up.
And Israeli troops now have begun their ground incursion targeting specific areas on the ground.
A diplomatic source telling Trey Yanks Hamas is preventing Palestinians from leaving.
That's the other big point.
You know, but don't forget, all in this country and around the world, Hamas has called for a day of jihad.
Now, I'm not really sure how this happened because those are the exact words that Hamas used: the day of jihad.
Now, every reporter in every news organization is saying Hamas called for a day of rage.
Linda, did they initially call for a day of rage?
Did I get it wrong?
Because if I did, I will humbly apologize and correct the record.
Was I right?
Am I wrong?
You got it right.
You did not get it wrong.
And if I got it wrong, I would imagine you would have, you know, said, hey, boss, I think you're wrong.
It's not the day of jihad.
It's the day of rage, right?
Most likely.
Most likely.
Okay.
Because that's what my team is carte blanched.
I always, if I get something wrong, I want to be told.
I want to correct the record.
Not hard to do.
Now, the question is, I'm sure this is not designed to do this.
I'm sure this is not done on purpose.
This poor innocent girl, I think maybe she's in Seattle pleading with local officials at Washington University in Seattle.
You know, they want us dead.
They want to kill us.
She's right.
And the moral support across the university system in this country, beginning with Havid on down, is repulsive and disgusting.
Listen to this girl.
They want her people dead.
She said that at a pro-Hamas rally because she never thought she would hear this and see this in her lifetime.
She's shocked.
Anyone with a heart, a soul, or a conscience should be shocked.

All right, 800-941-Shawn is on number.
You want to be a part of the program?
So I want to stay on this issue of this day of rage, rage, that was called the day of jihad.
I'm looking right now at the Fox News channel, and what we have are what is a massive crowd, pro-Hamas crowd, pro-Palestinian crowd, anti-Israel crowd, because there's no, there are not two ways to look at this.
There are certain undeniable truths, and one is, is that Israel was attacked viciously in an unprovoked attack by killers.
They are the victim here.
And the people all over our college campuses and the people all over the media and elsewhere.
For whatever reason in their minds, it's almost like the Stockholm syndrome.
You know, where people taken captive, probably the most well-known case, Patty Hearst, then they begin to sympathize with their captors and become one of them.
Trying to understand the mindset.
part of innocent men, women, and children being slaughtered like this does this crowd that is massive in New York not understand.
And how did we get from a call from Hamas for a day of jihad?
How did the media transform that into the day of rage?
Because that's not what Hamas called for.
They called for a day of jihad.
Jihad means holy war.
They didn't say they want a day of rage.
They said a day of jihad.
Holy war in support of Hamas.
And the crowd right now, Times Square, New York City, is massive.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Thank you for being with us.

By the way, according to a recent report, Planned Parenthood, they're raking in billions and billions of dollars despite dwindling clients.
The biggest takeaway here is Planned Parenthood, they generate vast profits, including millions of taxpayer dollars.
Now, there is another group out there, and they offer every expecting mother a free 4D ultrasound called Pre-Born.
And what they're doing, what they're noticing is, and this is a pro-life organization, they believe in the sanctity of life, and they're using the science of 4D ultrasound and some expecting moms on the fence thinking they may want an abortion.
Well, when they hear a heartbeat, when they see facial features of the miracle of birth, the baby growing inside them, and they can count fingers and toes, the odds go up exponentially that they're going to follow through and give birth to this child.
And they also provide other great services of pre-born, like counseling, and they provide diapers and formula after babies are born.
You know, whatever these moms need, they try to do whatever they can do to help.
And the only way they can help us, because they don't get a penny like Planned Parenthood from the federal government, is with your dollars.
They don't survive without you.
And every single dollar goes directly towards saving babies' lives.
It's tax deductible.
That's why I got them two 4D ultrasound machines because their facilities desperately need help.
28 bucks it costs for every single 4D ultrasound that they give to any expecting mom.
It's free for them.
And anything that you can offer in terms of a tax-deductible gift will be used for the costs.
Pound 250, keyword baby, to donate.

Let me tell you something else that happened, and we're going to go into all this lunacy that's going on on our college campuses in a second.
But, you know, they have now called for this day of jihad.
The rest of the media, for some reason, is calling it a day of rage.
How words matter and how they evolve are often very interesting.
But putting that aside for the moment, one Stanford instructor was removed for targeting Jewish students as colonizers.
But as we speak at this hour, troops now have entered, according to Fox News, Gaza, and they are beginning the ground offensive to protect Israel.
After this horrific terrorist attack, these terrorist attacks took place against them.
And I imagine, based on the comments of Prime Minister Netanyahu, that the immediate goal will be to prevent forever moving forward Hamas or any terror group to use Gaza as a staging area to attack Israel, especially because of its close proximity to its borders.
Now, to the credit of the Israeli government, they have warned everybody in Gaza to evacuate.
They did this 20 hours ago.
It's the 24-hour period, what they're calling a humanitarian step in order to minimize civilian casualties ahead of their military's ground offensive and response to Hamas terror attacks.
Anyway, the IDF shared the message, said that they were sent to citizens all over Gaza on every single platform they possibly could.
Like on, for example, X, the IDF calls for the evacuation of all civilians from Gaza City from their homes southwards for their own safety and protection and to move to the area south of, I think you pronounced it, Badi Gaza, and the river Gaza as shown on the map.
They explained that telling people to move south of the river makes the directions very clear and very understandable for anybody and everybody, regardless of whether they have a map or not.
And this evacuation order is for the safety purposes, adding that civilians will not be able to return to Gaza until another announcement clearing the area has been made.
And he said, do not approach the area of the security fence with Israel either.
The United Nations told the Associated Press, again, this 24-hour period is almost up, that the UN was told by Israel to get out within 24 hours.
They had a 24-hour evacuation warning.
What does that mean?
It means that what has just now begun, Israeli troops are entering Gaza and they're beginning with localized raids.
Starting last night, while I was on the air, I didn't know how many targets had been hit, but I found out this morning, 750 military targets that they hit last night alone in response to, again, the terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel.
He had dozens of fighter jets.
I mean, it was loud.
I mean, by the last half hour I was on last night, it started getting loud and frequent.
It seems that the 4 a.m. hour, the 9 to 10 o'clock hour, and the 10 p.m. hour Eastern, those hours is when a lot of this goes on.
These targets include underground Hamas terror tunnels, military compounds, posts, residences of senior terrorists, operatives used as military command centers.
Now, Hamas, you know, and then Hamas is trying to keep the people from actually leaving.
Not that they have a place to go.
Just so sad later, we're going to hear from a gentleman by the name of Ohad Harel is his name, and his sister-in-law was at that concert where 260 peace-loving citizens were gathering.
They were just slaughtered.
Iranian foreign minister warning that, well, this will spread to Israel even further if they continue to defend themselves.
Well, that's not going to take them very far.
And if they want to start a war on another front from Lebanon with Hezbollah, well, if they do, they will be defeated, just like they were in 1948, 67, 73, and every flare-up there since.
Iranian president now, you know, and the Saudi crown prince, MBS, having their first phone call ever to stand up against Israel.
Well, so much for those reports that Israel was going to align with the Saudis.
I guess that's either not true and what the Saudi prince told Brett Baer doesn't seem like it's coming to fruition.
So, you know, that's where we stand at this hour.
Officials on high alert all over this country with this official.
It's not, it wasn't called the day of rage.
It was called the day of jihad, is taking place.
But anyways, you know, we, you know, we now see a lot of things happening.
A teacher.
I can't hear you say that on air.
I'm just sorry, but I have to tell you this because it's happening right now.
Biden just tripped up the steps in Philadelphia and then turned to the crowds that they could platform as he desperately tried to get up about five steps.
Okay, we will show that tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern on Hannity.
What did I say?
He's one fall away, one big fall away from not being their candidate.
You know, remember, they just implemented Operation Keep Joe Biden standing.
Don't let Joe Biden fall again.
You know, when you have to have that plan in place, that's not necessarily a good thing.
But back to some of the other news of the day.
You know, what's interesting is a group called Accuracy in Media, years ago, put together by a guy by the name of Reid Irvine.
I had interviewed him many times.
I think he's since passed away.
But anyway, they have been flushing out some of the rabbit anti-Semites at Harvard.
Remember the 31 groups in Harvard.
Well, those 31 groups blamed Israel and Israel alone, the victim of terrorism, for the attacks against them, which is insane.
Anyway, so they have been, they have rented a truck showing the names and faces of students who are members of campus organizations, the 31 organizations that signed a letter holding the Israeli government entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.
The sign says, Harvard's leading anti-Semites.
Yikes.
I don't know if I'd necessarily do that.
I think you run a risk.
I don't want to put anybody in harm's way, and that's what they're going to be accused of.
But however, it is interesting that Wall Street firms, they want the names.
Why do they want the names?
Because they don't want to hire virulent anti-Semites and bigots for their firms.
And you know what?
Can you really blame them?
Do you want to hire bigoted people?
Do you want to hire virulent anti-Semites to work for your company?
And if you knew about it ahead of time, because there's so many organizations in Harvard, now Harvard's president is named Claudine Gay, and she released a video titled Our Choices late last night because of the backlash and because big donors are saying they're not giving them another penny following this pro-Pali Palace, pro-Hamas statement signed by dozens of student organizations, 31 to be exact.
Anyone, people have asked me where we stand.
Let me be clear.
Our university rejects terrorism.
That includes the barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas.
Why did it take a week to release this?
Why?
I'd like to know.
Our university rejects hate.
Hate of Jews, hate of Muslims, hate of any breaking news on 710 WOR.
All right, this is Jeff McKinney in the WR newsroom.
You've been hearing much about this very, very large pro-Palestinian protest/slash rally that's going on in Times Square.
Our Natalie Migliore, WOR's Natalie Migliore, is there at this protest.
And Natalie, give us a view of what's going on there.
How big is this thing?
How loud is it?
Is there any violence going on?
What's the scene?
It is very loud, Jeff.
There is not a lot of violence going on at all.
Well, there's no violence.
I mean, there's a lot of cops on the street.
And this thing runs from 42nd Street to 40th Street.
And it is pretty packed.
They have barricades around the crowd.
And it is really filling in.
I mean, I would say at least 100 are here at this point in time.
And it's only growing.
Only more people are showing up.
All right.
This thing was supposed to start at 3 o'clock.
It started more or less on time.
So it's just getting underway.
This is the first hour of whatever's going to happen there.
Yeah, and so everybody is really, we'll see.
But for now, there's a lot of cheering, a lot of chants, and everybody has stayed peaceful.
So we are going to see what happens.
All right, and we have to go out.
And we have a pro-Israeli presence here also.
I don't see anybody on the street with Israeli flags.
I will say that there are people who are passing who are angered by it, telling people to stop.
And really, they're not saying the nicest things.
That's how I'll put it.
Not saying the nicest things, but no overt violence at this point.
Yeah, no overt violence.
No overt violence.
Okay, that's good to hear.
And that is Natalie Migliore.
WOR is Natalie.
She is in Times Square, and we'll be hearing from her at the top of the hour, I'm sure.
Natalie, thanks so much.
Now it's back to Sean Annie.
Now, are you going to ensure that you express this commitment of freedom of expression?
Does that mean people will not be allowed to shut us down or shut us up or try to silence us with their protests?
Will you give us the commitment that our expression will, in fact, be free and fair?
It's going to be very interesting.
Anyway, you might remember the Boston Herald had put out a piece that Harvard University is like one of the worst colleges for free speech.
They have an abysmal rating, according to a report.
Up to 72% of students opposed allowing a conservative speaker on campus.
Oh, well, I guess I'm screwed, Linda.
I guess they're not going to let me in.
Anyway, while 43% of students opposed a liberal speaker on campus, how about you let all of you?
I think you'd be great.
I think it'd be awesome.
I think it would be a lot of fun.
I mean, you love confrontation.
I think it would be a really great time for somebody to argue with you.
I'm offering to do this for free, and I'll even put it on TV.
Probably.
Put it on radio.
They can't have a conversation like that because then they have to support their argument.
And they just make stupid blanket statements with absolutely no proof.
By the way, over at Yale, another Ivy League institution, a petition calling for Yale to fire a professor for calling Israel a genocidal settler state.
They now have over 25,000 signatures.
I asked the president of Yale, are you going to remove such a person?
What if somebody said something similar about Muslims?
What if they said something similar about LGBTQ plus anything?
What would happen to that student if they made derogatory organizations?
What if somebody made a racist comment on campus?
Would you fire that professor?
In other words, are we applying the same standards or is there this exemption?
We have an exemption that if you're supporting a terror group that hates Israel, we'll make an exception.
You can say anything you want.
You can spew any hatred, any lie that you want.
Just like you can do it to conservative African Americans, which happens all the time.
Pretty unbelievable how hypocritical these people are.
