♪ >>> BECAUSE OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE THREAT OF TERRORISM IN THE UNITED
STATES INCREASED? >> YES. >> TONIGHT, PRESIDENT BIDEN ON TH ESCALATING WAR IN THE MIDDLE
EAST, RUSSIA'S WAR IN UKRAINE AND THE POLITICAL PARALYSIS ON CAPITOL HILL. >> ARE THE WARS IN ISRAEL AND
UKRAINE MORE THAN THE UNITED STATES CAN TAKE ON AT THE SAME TIME? >> WE'RE THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, FOR GOD'S SAKE. >>> THE MASSACRE OF CIVILIANS IN SOUTHERN ISRAEL HAS RESIDENTS SHAKEN AND ANGRY.
WHERE WAS THE MILITARY WHEN HAMAS ATTACKED? WHERE WAS THE GOVERNENT? THIS GRANDFATHER AND FORMER
GENERAL REFUSE TO WAIT TO SAVE HIS SON'S FAMILY. >> IT'S THAT MOMENT WE KNEW THAT WE WERE GOING THERE.
I TOOK MY PISTOL AND WE WENT. WE BASICALLY KILLED THE TERRORISTS THERE. I KILLED AT LEAST ONE.
>>> YOU MAY RECALL THE STORY OF THE 50 MIGRANTS WHO WERE UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED OFF ON THE ISLAND OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD,
SEVEN MILES OFF THE COAST OF MASSACHUSETTS. THE MIGRANTS ALL HAD PERMISSION TO BE IN THE UNITED STATES
PENDING ASYLUM HEARINGS AND WERE IN TEXAS, BUT IT WAS FLORIDA OFFICIALS WHO ARRANGED THE FLIGHTS NORTH.
>> I MEAN, I WAS SHOCKED. LIKE, WHY BEAR COUNTY? YOU'RE THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR. WHY ARE YOU MESSING WITH PEOPLE
IN BEAR COUNTY THAT ARE HERE LEGALLY AT THAT POINT, BY THE WAY? >>> I'M LESLIE STAHL.
>> I'M BILL WHITAKER. >> I'M ANDERSON COOPER. >> I'M SHARYN ALFONSI. >> I'M JON WORTHEIM.
>> I'M CECILIA VEGA. >> I'M SCOTT PELLEY. THOSE STORIES AND MORE TONIGHT ON "60 M
>>> RARELY DOES A PRESIDENT CONFRONT SO MUCH PERIL. THE CATASTROPHE IN ISRAEL, THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND NO HELP FROM
A PAIRALIZED CONGRESS. IT HAD BEEN A ROUGH WEEK AND WE COULD SEE IT ON HIM AND MR. BIDEN WILL BE 81 NEXT MONTH AND
HE HAS SAID THAT WHEN HE'S TIRED HIS LIFELONG STUTTER CAN CREEP BACK IN, BUT HE WEDGED US INTO HIS SCHEDULE TO EXPRESS HIS
COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL AFTER THE MASS ARCER OF MASSACRE OF MORE THAN A THOUSAND CIVILIANS EIGHT DAYS AGO.
29 15 ARE MISSING AND A SMALL NUMBER OF THEM ARE KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN HOSTAGE.
IN A CALL ON FRIDAY MR. BIDEN HAD THIS MESSAGE FOR AMERICANS IN ISRAEL WHOSE LOVED ONES HAVE VANISHED.
>> WE'RE SAYING WE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO FIND THOSE WHO ARE STILL ALIVE AND SET THEM FREE.
EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER, AND I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE DETAIL OF THAT, BUT WE'RE WORKING LIKE HELL ON IT.
>> WHY DO YOU FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT SPEAKING TO THESE FAMILIES PERSONALLY ON ZOOM? >> BECAUSE I THINK THEY HAVE TO
KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CARES DEEPLY ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED. DEEPLY.
WE HAVE TO COMMUNICATE TO THE WORLD WORLD. THIS IS CRITICAL.
THIS IS NOT EVEN HUMAN BEHAVIOR. IT'S PURE BAR BARISM AND WE'LL O EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET THEM HOME AND FIND THEM.
>> FRIDAY NIGHT'S CALL WITH 14 FAMILIES INCLUDING A FATHER WHO TOLD US THE PRESIDENT ANSWERED DESPERATE PLEAS WITH EMPATHY AND
PATIENCE. >> IS GETTING THE AMERICAN HOSTAGES BACK SAFELY AMONG YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITIES NOW?
>> OF COURSE, IT IS. IT'S HARD TO MAKE DISTINCTIONS. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS ENDING THIS BRUTALITY AND TO
HOLD THOSE THAT COMMITTED IT ACCOUNTABLE. >> TO CONFRONT THE BRUTALITY, MR. BIDEN ORDERED TWO AIRCRAFT
CARRIERS PLUS CRUISERS AND DESTROYERS TO THE REGION. THERE ARE ABOUT 900 U.S. TROOPS IN SYRIA ON A COUNTERTERRORISM
MISSION SINCE 2015. >> CAN YOU FORESEE U.S. TROOPS IN COMBAT IN THIS NEW MIDDLE EAST WAR?
>> I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARY. ISRAEL HAS ONE OF THE FINEST FIGHTING FORCES IN THE COUNTRY.
I GUARANTEE WE WILL PROVIDE THEM EVERYTHING THEY NEED. >> BECAUSE OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE MIDDLE EAST, IS THE
THREAT OF TERRORISM IN THE UNITED STATES INCREASED? >> YES. I HAD A MEETING THIS MORNING
WITH THE HOMELAND SECURITY PEOPLE, WITH THE FBI IN THE SITUATION ROOM FOR A BETTER PART OF AN HOUR TO DISCUSS HOW WE
MAKE SURE THAT WE PREVENT A LONE WOLF AND/OR ANY COORDINATED EFFORT TO TRY TO DO WHAT WAS DONE IN SYNAGOGUES BEFORE AND DO
WHAT WAS DONE TO JEWS IN THE STREET, AND SO WE'RE MAKING A MAJOR EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
>> SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7th, HAS BEEN CALLED ISRAEL'S 9/11. MORE THAN 1,000 HAMAS TERRORISTS FROM GAZA SMASHED THROUGH A
BORDER WALL TO COMMIT MASS MURDER. FAMILIES IN THEIR HOMES, CROWDS AT A CONCERT, PEOPLE IN THE
STREET. [ EXPLOSION ] >> ISRAEL IS STRIKING BACK WITH THE LARGEST BOMBARDMENT OF GAZA
EVER. MORE THAN 2,000 HAVE BEEN KILLED BY GAZA'S COUNT. >> CERTAINLY, ABOUT 1200 ISRAELI
CIVILIANS WERE KILLED IN THE INITIAL ATTACK, BUT NOW HAMAS FIGHTERS AND PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS ARE BEING KILLED IN
THE COUNTERATTACK. IS IT TIME FOR A CEASE-FIRE? >> LOOK, THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE.
ISRAEL IS GOING AFTER A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ENGAGED IN BARBARISM THAT IS AS CONSEQUENTIAL AS THE HOLOCAUST, AND SO I THINK ISRAEL
HAS TO RESPOND. THEY HAVE TO GO AFTER HAMAS. HAMAS ARE A BUNCH OF COWARDS. THEY'RE HIDING BEHIND THE
CIVILIANS AND THEY PUT THEIR HEADQUARTERS WHERE CIVILIANS ARE IN BUILDINGS AND THE LIKE, BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY CN
SEPARATE OUT AND AVOID -- I'M CONFIDENT THE ISRAELIS WILL DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO AVOID THE KILLING OF INNOCENT
CIVILIANS. >> HAMAS IS AN ISLAMIST TERRORIST GROUP AND THE GOVERNMENT OF GAZA.
GAZA IS 25 MILES LONG AND AVERAGES FIVE MILES WIDE. ISRAEL SEVERELY LIMITS ITS ECONOMY SO MOST GAZANS ARE
DESTITUTE. NOW ISRAEL HAS CUT OFF FOOD, FUEL, ELECTRICITY AND MOST WATER AND HAS ORDERED 1 MILLION GAZANS
TO EVACUATE TO THE SOUTHERN HALF OF GAZA. THE U.N. WARNS OF A HUMANITARIAN DISASTER.
>> THERE ARE ABOUT 2 MILLION PEOPLE IN GAZA, AS YOU KNOW, MR. PRESIDENT, 2 MILLION PEOPLE TRAPPED AND ABOUT HALF OF THEM
ARE CHILDREN. ARE YOU ASKING ISRAEL TO ESTABLISH A HUMANITARIAN CORRIDOR IN THAT AREA OR GET
HUMANITARIAN SUPPLIES? >> YES, OUR TEAM IS TALKING TO THEM ABOUT THAT, AND WHETHER THERE COULD BE A SAFE ZONE.
WE ARE ALSO TALKING WITH EGYPTIANS WHETHER THERE'S AN OUTLET TO GET THESE CHILDREN AND WOMEN OUT INTO -- OUT OF THAT
AREA AT THIS MOMENT, BUT IT'S HARD. >> YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A HUMANITARIAN CORRIDOR THAT
ALLOWS SOME OF THE 2 MILLION GAZANS OUT OF THE AREA? >> YES. >> YOU WOULD LIKE IT SEE
HUMANITARIAN SUPPLIES BROUGHT IN TO GAZA? >> YES. >> SO YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE
ISRAELI TOTAL SIEGE OF THE GAZA STRIP? >> I'M CONFIDENT THAT ISRAEL IS GOING TO ACT UNDER THE MAJOR --
THE RULES OF WAR. THERE'S A STANDARD THAT DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS AND COUNTRIES WILL GO BY, AND SO I'M
CONFIDENT THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ABILITY FOR THE INNOCENTS IN GAZA TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO MEDICINE AND FOOD AND
WATER. >> WOULD YOU SUPPORT ISRAELI OCCUPATION OF GAZA AT THIS POINT?
>> I THINK IT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE. LOOK, WHAT HAPPENED IN GAZA, IN MY VIEW IS HAMAS AND THE EXTREME
ELEMENTS OF HAMAS DON'T REPRESENT ALL OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE, AND I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE FOR ISRAEL TO
OCCUPY GAZA AGAIN, BUT TO GO IN AND TAKING OUT THE EXTREMISTS, THE HEZBOLLAH IS UP NORTH, BUT HAMAS DOWN SOUTH IS A NECESSARY
REQUIREMENT. >> DO YOU BELIEVE THAT HAMAS MUST BE ELIMINATED ENTIRELY? >> YES, I DO, BUT THERE NEEDS TO
BE A PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A PATH TO A PALESTINIAN STATE. >> THAT PATH CALLED THE
TWO-STATE SOLUTION HAS BEEN U.S. POLICY FOR DECADES. IT WOULD CREATE AN INDEPENDENT NATION NEXT TO ISRAEL FOR 5
MILLION PALESTINIANS WHO LIVE IN GAZA AND ON THE WEST BANK OF THE JORDAN RIVER. >> AND YOU BELIEVE ISRAEL WOULD
PURSUE THAT AFTER WHAT'S OCCURRED? >> NOT NOW. NOT NOW, BUT I THINK ISRAEL
UNDERSTANDS THAT SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE DO NOT SHARE THE VIEWS OF HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH.
>> HEZBOLLAH IS A POWERFUL ISLAMIST MILITIA TO ISRAEL'S NORTH WHICH IS ARMED AND TRAINED BY IRAN.
IRAN ALSO SUPPORTS HAMAS. >> THERE'S LIMITED FIGHTING ALREADY ON THE NORTHERN ISRAELI BORDER, AND I WONDER WHAT IS
YOUR MESSAGE TO HEZBOLLAH AND ITS BACKER IRAN. >> DON'T. DON'T.
DON'T. >> DON'T COME ACROSS THE BORDER? DON'T ESCALATE THIS WAR?
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> IS IRAN BEHIND THE GAZA WAR? >> I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, BUT TO
BE VERY BLUNT WITH YOU, THERE'S NO CLEAR EVIDENCE OF THAT. >> AT THIS POINT NO EVIDENCE THAT IRAN IS BEHIND ANY OF THIS.
>> CORRECT. IRAN CONSTANTLY SUPPORTS HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH, I DON'T MEAN THAT, BUT IN TERMS OF DID THEY
HAVE FOREIGN KNOWLEDGE? DID THEY HELP PLAN THE ATTACK? THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF THAT AT THIS POINT.
>> THE PRESIDENT IS ASKING FOR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR ISRAEL AND UKRAINE, BUT CONGRESS IS PARALYZED, HARD-RIGHT
REPUBLICANS ARE OBSTRUCTING THE ELECTION OF THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. >> DOES THE DYSFUNCTION THAT
WE'VE SEEN IN CONGRESS INCREASE THE DANGER IN THE WORLD? >> YES. LOOK, THIS IS NOT YOUR FATHER'S
REPUBLICAN PARTY. 30% OF IS MADE UP OF MAGA REPUBLICANS WHO ARE MAYBE DEMOCRACY IS SOMETHING THEY
DON'T LOOK AT IT THE SAME WAY YOU AND I LOOK AT DEMOCRACY. >> ARE THE WARS IN ISRAEL AND UKRAINE MORE THAN THE UNITED
STATES CAN TAKE ON AT THE SAME TIME? >> WE'RE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR GOD'S SAKE.
THE MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE HISTORY, NOT IN THE WORLD, OF THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
WE CAN TAKE CARE OF BOTH OF THESE AND STILL MAINTAIN OUR OVERALL INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE. >> RUSSIA'S UNPROVOKED INVASION
OCCUPIES NEARLY 20% OF UKRAINE. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN KILLED OR WOUNDED. IN AN INTERVIEW LAST MONTH,
PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY TOLD US HE COULD LOSE WITHOUT U.S. AID. >> HOW DO THESE WARS IN ISRAEL
AND UKRAINE RELATE TO THE SAFETY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? OVERWHELMINGLY. FOR EXAMPLE, IN UKRAINE, ONE OF
MY OBJECTIVES WAS TO PREVENT PUTIN WHO HAS COMMITTED WAR CRIMES HIMSELF, WHO FROM BEING ABLE TO OCCUPY AN INDEPENDENT
COUNTRY THAT BORDERS NATO ALLIES AND IS ON THE RUSSIAN BORDER. IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENS NOW IF HE WERE ABLE TO SUCCEED.
HAVE YOU EVER KNOWN A MAJOR WAR IN EUROPE WE DIDN'T GET SUCKED INTO? WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE DEMOCRACIES ARE SUSTAINED AND UKRAINE IS CRITICAL IN MAKING SURE THAT HAPPENS.
>> MR. BIDEN TOLD IMAGES OF OCTOBER 7th REMINDED HIM OF THE HOLOCAUST WHICH HE HAS STUDIED TAKING HIS FAMILY TO THE DEATH
CAMP IN GERMANY. THIS IS 2015. THE MAN IN THE WHEELCHAIR IS A DAKOW SURVIVOR AND BEHIND MR.
BIDEN IS THE PRESIDENT'S GRANDDAUGHTER. >> I WANTED MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN TO FULLY
UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY YOU COULDN'T DENY THE CARNAGE GOING ON IF YOU WERE LIVING IN GERMANY AND IN EUROPE.
>> WHY DO YOU FEEL SO STRONGLY? WHAT DOES ISRAEL MEAN TO YOU? >> THE JEWS HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO ABUSE, PREJUDICE AND ATTEMPT TO
WIPE THEM OUT FOR OVER A THOUSAND YEARS. FOR ME, IT'S ABOUT DECENCY, RESPECT, HONOR.
IT'S JUST SIMPLY WRONG. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, IT VIOLATES EVERY RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLE I HAVE IN EVERY WAY AND EVERY SINGLE
PRINCIPLE MY FATHER TAUGHT ME. >> AS WE SPOKE TO THE PRESIDENT, HIS SECRETARY OF STATE WAS IN ISRAEL, HIS DEFENSE SECRETARY
WAS AT ANOTHER MEETING ON UKRAINE. AMERICA'S OLDEST PRESIDENT SEEMED TIRED FROM DIRECTING ALL
OF THIS, BUT HE WAS VERY CLEAR ON WHAT HE STOOD FOR, AND HOW HIS POLICIES AND HIS VIEW WOULD SEE AMERICA THROUGH.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, GIVEN THESE TWO WARS AND THE DYSFUNCTION IN CONGRESS, ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU WANT TO RUN AGAIN?
>> YES BECAUSE I'M SURE -- LOOK, WHEN I RAN I SAID THE WORLD IS AT AN INFLEXION POINT. THE WORLD IS CHANGING, BUT WE
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT -- IMAGINE IF WE WERE ABLE TO SUCCEED IN GETTING THE MIDDLE EAST PUT IN PLACE WHERE WE HAVE
NORMALIZATION OF RELATIONS? I THINK WE CAN DO THAT. IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENS IF WE UNITE THE VIEWER AND PUTIN INIS PUT
DOWN WHERE HE CAN'T CAUSE THE AMOUNT TROUBLE HE'S BEEN CAUSING. WE █HAVE ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITIES
ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE IT A BETTER WORLD. [ TICKING ] >>> MORE FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN.
>> IS THE EFFORT TO NORMALIZE RELATIONS BETWEEN ISRAEL AND SAUDI ARABIA NOW DEAD? >> NO.
>> AT >>> NOW LESLIE STAHL REPORTING FROM A DARING RESCUE AT THE KIBBUTZ WHERE AN ISRAELI FAMILY
WAS UNDER DEADLY HAMAS ATTACK. >> WE'RE IN SOUTHERN ISRAEL VERY CLOSE TO GAZA. WE CAN HEAR THE MORTARS GOING
OFF. IT'S JUST A LITTLE OVER A MILE AWAY DOWN THIS ROAD. THIS AREA WAS THE HARDEST HIT BY
HAMAS. AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY OVERRUN BY THE SURPRISE INVASION.
ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES TO BE INFILTRATED WAS NAHAL OZ, IT'S A KIBBUTZ, A SMALL, TIGHT-KNIT AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY THAT'S
VERY CLOSE BY THIS WAY. THE POPULATION WAS SMALL, JUST ABOUT 500. PEOPLE LIVING THERE USED TO SAY
IT'S A LITTLE SLICE OF HEAVEN ON THE BORDER OF HELL. PEOPLE LIKE AMIR TIBON, A SENIOR CORRESPONDENT AT THE
LEFT-LEANING NEWSPAPER AND HIS WIFE MIRI, A SOCIAL WORKER WHO LIVE IN NAHAL OZ WITH THEIR TWO SMALL CHILDREN.
>> LET'S GO BACK TO SATURDAY MORNING. IT'S EARLY. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
6:00 A.M., YOU HEAR SOMETHING. >> I HEARD THE WHISTLE OF A ROCKET, AND I JUST WAS, LIKE, AMIR, GET UP AND WE RAN LIKE
CRAZE TOTE CRAZY TO THE SAFE ROOM WHICH IS THE GIRLS' BEDROOM. >> WAIT, THE GIRLS BEDROOM IS
THE SAFE ROOM. >> IN EVERY COMMUNITY ALONG THE BORDER THERE IS A ROOM BUILT OUT OF ESPECIALLY STRONG CONCRETE
AND WE CALL IT THE SAFE ROOM BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO WITHSTAND DIRECT ATTACK FROM ROCKETS AND MORTARS AND MOST
FAMILIES THAT'S WHERE THEY PUT THE KIDS TO SLEEP AT NIGHT BECAUSE IF THERE'S A SIREN AT 6:00 A.M. THE PARENTS RUN TO THE
CHILDREN AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND AND SO WE'RE ACCUSTOMED TO THIS. >> WHEN DID YOU FIRST BEGIN TO
REALIZE IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE A TYPICAL ROCKET ATTACK? >> IT'S A MOMENT I WILL NEVER FORGET WHEN WE STARTED TO HEAR
THAT AMOUNT OF GUN FIRE AND WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND WE BOTH HAD THE SAME LOOK OF -- >> THEY'RE HERE.
WE HEARD THE ARABIC, AMIR, THEY'RE HERE. >> THEY WERE THAT CLOSE?
>> AT FIRST IT WAS FROM THE FIELDS OF THE KIBBUTZ AND THEN YOU HEARD IT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN YOU HEARD IT OUTSIDE
OUR WINDOW. >> ARE THEY SCREAMING FOR YOU TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE? WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
>> THEY WERE NOT COUNTING ON US TO GET OUT ON OUR OWN AND THEY WERE SCREAMING TO EACH OTHER HOW TO GET IN.
>> VIDEOS SHOT AND POSTED BY HAMAS SHOW THEM SHOOTING UP THE KIBBUTZ INCLUDING THIS PICTURE OF THEM ACTUALLY LEANING ON AMIR
AND MIRI'S HOUSE. >> THEY SHOT AMMUNITIONS THROUGH THE LIVING ROOM WINDOW AND WE JUST HEARD THAT AND IT SOUNDED
LIKE THEY WERE INSIDE THE HOUSE. >> WHAT ABOUT THESE TWO LITTLE GIRLS? WEREN'T THEY SCREAMING AND
CRYING? >> OUR GIRLS ARE SO, SO BRAVE AND WE TOLD THEM, GIRLS, WE'RE VERY, VERY SORRY, BUT WE HAVE TO
KEEP QUIET. >> AND THEY WERE AT 1 AND 3? THEY WERE QUIET? >> FOR THE MOST OF THE TIME THEY
WERE. >> AMIR STARTED TEXTING HIS COLLEAGUES AND SOON REALIZED THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ATTACK.
>> I REALIZED NOBODY'S GOING TO COME, AND I CALLED MY FATHER, AND I SAID, THIS IS THE SITUATION.
YOU KNOW, THE TERRORISTS, MAYBE THEY'RE INSIDE THE HOUSE, MAYBE THEY'RE OUTSIDE, WE'RE NOT SURE. ALL OVER THE KIBBUTZ RIGHT NOW
PEOPLE ARE CRYING FOR HELP AND NOBODY'S COMING, AND THIS MAY BE IT. >> IT'S THAT MOMENT WE KNEW THAT
WE ARE GOING THERE. I TOOK MY PISTOL AND WE WENT. >> NOAM TIBON, HIS DAD, HIS GRANDPA AND IS A BIG DEAL
RETIRED MAJOR GENERAL WHO WAS THE SENIOR COMMANDER OF THE ISRAELI PARATROOPERS AND HE LED FORCES IN THE WEST BANK AND AT
THE BORDER WITH LEBANON. HE AND GRANDMA GALI JUMPED IN THEIR JEEP IN TEL AVIV AND STARTED HEADING SOUTH TO RESCUE
THEIR FAMILY. >> WE WERE IN A SITUATION THAT THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT, THERE IS NO MILITARY, ONLY CITIZENS, AND
SO WHO ELSE? >> WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING, THE GENERAL WAS TEXTING WITH HIS SON.
SO HE WRITES TO ME WHAT'S GOING ON, AND I REPLY, THERE ARE TERRORISTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I THINK ALSO INSIDE THE HOUSE.
>> I WROTE HIM, BE QUIET. DON'T MOVE. LOCK EVERYTHING. >> AND HE ASKS ME IF THE DOG IS
IN THE HOUSE. I SAID I DON'T THINK HE'S ALIVE. I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD BECAUSE THEY HAD FIRED SO MUCH INTO THE
HOUSE. >> GALI DROVE AT TOP SPEED UNTIL THEY WERE STOPPED AT CHECKPOINTS AND TOLD THEY COULD GO NO
FURTHER. >> THEN WE STARTED TO TALK TO THE POLICEMAN AND SAY WE HAVE TO GO.
YOU MUST LET US GO AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO DO THAT. >> SO WE BYPASSED THEM. >> THROUGH THE FIELDS.
>> WE HAD THE JEEP. >> WE HAD THE JEEP AND THEN ON THE NEXT ONE WE JUST -- >> YEAH.
THEY STOPPED US AND SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE ARE GOING, IT'S OUR SON, IT'S OUR GRANDDAUGHTERS.
YOU WANT, YOU CAN SHOOT ME. WE ARE GOING. >> AS THE GRANDPARENTS DREW CLOSER TO THE KIBBUTZ THEY
COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY WERE SEEING. >> WE SAW THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T SEE NOBODY.
BURNING CARS, BODIES ON THE ROAD AND THEN THERE WERE A MAN AND A WOMAN RUSHING TO US, RUNNING AND WE STOPPED AND THEY SAID, SAVE
US. >> SAVE US? >> YEAH. >> BAR AND LIOR MATSNER WERE
ESCAPING THE MUSIC FESTIVAL MASSACRE. THOUSANDS WERE FLEEING, SOME ON FOOT, OTHERS LIKE THEM JUMPED IN
THEIR CARS. >> HE TELL ME TO GET DOWN, SO I DID LIKE THIS AND HE ALSO DRIVE LIKE THIS AND -- WE DON'T
UNDERSTAND ANYTHING, WE JUST UNDERSTAND THAT SOMEONE IS SHOOTING OUR CAR AND A LOT OF SHOOTS.
>> AS THIS DASH CAM VIDEO FROM ANOTHER CAR SHOWS LOTS OF VEHICLES WERE SHOT AT. BAR AND LIOR'S WAS DISABLED BY
BULLETS, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO ESCAPE. >> IT WAS A LOT OF FORESTS -- >> A LOT OF TREES AND BIG, DRY
LEAVES AND I TELL HIM LET'S GET ALL THESE DRY LEAVES AND JUST PUT ON OUR FACE AND OUR EVERYTHING AND THEY WILL NOT SEE
US. >> THEY TRIED TO GET HELP. >> I CALLED THE POLICE, THERE IS NO ANSWER.
I CALLED THE AMBULANCE, THERE IS NO ANSWER, AND AFTER TWO HOURS AND THREE HOURS WE DON'T KNOW -- >> TWO HOURS?
WHERE ARE YOU FOR -- >> IN THE SAME POSITION. >> YOU ARE BURRIED UNDER A PILE OF LEAVES.
>> YES. >> EVENTUALLY THEY WERE ABLE TO MACK A RUN FOR THE ROAD AND SPOTTED THE GRANDPARENTS RACING
SOUTH IN THE JEEP. >> YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, NO AM AND HIS WIFE WERE ON THEIR WAY TO SAVE THEIR SONS, BUT THEY
STOP AND TAKE US -- THEY DON'T KNOW US. THEY TAKE US TO SAFE ZONE. >> WOW.
>> THEY SAVE OUR LIVES. >> MEANWHILE, AMIR IN THEIR SAFE ROOM SAYS HE COULD HEAR NEIGHBORS BEING DRAGGED OFF.
THESE ARE PICTURES OF THE AFTERMATH IN A NEARBY HOUSE IN WHICH, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS LIVESTREAMED HAMAS PROPAGANDA
VIDEO, GUNMEN WERE HOLDING THAT FAMILY CAPTIVE. THE FATHER'S LEG IS BLEEDING. THEY ARE NOW ASSUMED TO BE
HOSTAGES IN GAZA. >> THE HAMAS TERRORISTS, I MEAN, THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF THEM AROUND AND INSIDE THE KIBBUTZ.
THE NUMBERS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPREHEND. >> THERE ARE TWO KIBBUTZES NEAR YOURS, BE'ERI AND KFAR AZA.
WHAT HAPPENED THERE? >> IN THOSE TWO COMMUNITIES, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE SLAUGHTERED.
BE'ERI AND KFAR AZA AND THE MUSIC FESTIVAL THAT HAPPENED NEAR ONE OF THEM, THOSE ARE THE THREE SCENES OF THE LARGEST
MASSACRE OF JEWISH PEOPLE SINCE THE HOLOCAUST ENDED. >> AS THE GENERAL AND GALI GOT BACK ON THE ROAD TO THE KIBBUTZ
THEY TOLD US THEY CAME UPON A GROUP OF SOLDIERS, ONE OF WHOM AGREED TO JOIN THEM TO HELP, BUT BECAUSE OF THE DANGER THEY
DECIDED TO DROP GALI OFF AT A ROADSIDE SHELTER AND PRESSED ON WITHOUT HER. >> ON THE ROAD AHEAD OF THEM
THEY SEE A MILITARY JEEP AMBUSHED BY HAMAS AND SEVERAL SOLDIERS THERE ARE KILLED AND INJURED.
MY FATHER AND THIS BRAVE SOLDIER WHO JOINED HIM GET OFF THE CAR AND START FIGHTING. >> WHAT?
>> THEY JOINED THE FIRE FIGHT. >> WE BASICALLY KILLED THE TERRORISTS THERE. I KILLED AT LEAST ONE.
>> BUT HE FACED A DILEMMA. DURING THE FIRE FIGHT TWO ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE WOUNDED AND NEEDED TO BE EVACUATED TO A
HOSPITAL AND THAT MEANT HIS FAMILY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT AGAIN. >> OTHERWISE THEY WOULD BLEED TO DEATH.
SO I SAID, OKAY, I'M TAKING THEM, YOU KNOW BECAUSE NO WAY THEY ARE GOING TO DIE THERE. >> OKAY.
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT MORNING THAT MY PARENTS ARE GETTING CLOSER TO US AND THEY TURN AROUND TO HELP SOMEONE
ELSE. THEY TAKE THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS TO WHERE MY MOTHER IS. >> AND SHE TOOK THE WOUNDED TO A
HOSPITAL WHILE THE GENERAL HAPPENED UPON AN OLD ARMY BUDDY, ANOTHER GRANDFATHER AND THEY HEADED BACK TO RESCUE HIS SON'S
FAMILY. >> SO WHERE WERE THE POLICE? WHERE WAS THE MILITARY? WHY DID A GRANDFATHER HAVE TO GO
TO RESCUE YOU? >> THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION, LESLIE. I HOPE ALL OF ISRAEL IS ASKING
THIS QUESTION. >> IT'S THE BIGGEST FAILURE IN THE HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
CIVILIANS BY THE HUNDREDS WERE BEING MASSACRED BY TERRORISTS AND NOBODY CAME. >> THIS IS A SECURITY
ANNOUNCEMENT. PLEASE PROCEED DIRECTLY TO THE CLOSEST -- >> AN ALERT, ROCKET FIRE OVER
TEL AVIV. >> WE ARE ON THE BOTTOM -- WE ARE IN A SAFE PLACE HERE. WE ARE UNDER GROUND.
WE'RE OKAY. >> WE WERE STRUCK BY HOW CALM THEY WERE. >> WE'RE COOL, GIVEN WHAT THEY
WENT THROUGH JUST DAYS AGO AS THEY WAITED HOURS FOR DAD, BUT ONCE DAD FINALLY GOT TO THE KIBBUTZ, BEFORE HE WENT TO
AMIR'S HE JOINED A GROUP OF ISRAELI SPECIAL FORCES AND WENT HOUSE TO HOUSE WITH THEM METHODICALLY CLEARING OUT THE
TERRORISTS. >> AT THAT POINT HAMAS WAS IN CONTROL, OBVIOUSLY, OF THIS KIBBUTZ.
THEY'D OCCUPIED IT. >> BASICALLY THE HAMAS WAS IN CONTROL AND THEN WE START TO GET IN AND WE SAW BODIES.
SOME OF THEM TERRORISTS, SOME ISRAELIS. ON THIS SITUATION YOU HAVE TO WORK VERY, VERY FOCUSED.
OKAY. YOU HAVE TO CLEAN ONE HOUSE AND THEN GO TO THE NEXT HOUSE AND THEN GO TO THE NEXT HOUSE
BECAUSE IF YOU RUN TOO FAST THEY WILL SHOOT YOU FROM BEHIND, AND IT TAKES TIME. >> WE ARE AT THAT POINT STILL
STRANDED IN THE SAFE ROOM. WE HAVE NO CELL PHONE BY THAT POINT. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE MY FATHER
IS, BUT WE BEGIN TO HEAR VERY CLOSE EXCHANGES OF GUN FIRE. >> HOW MANY HOURS, BY THAT POINT, HAD YOU BEEN IN THE SAFE
ROOM? >> BY NOW IT'S I THINK EIGHT, NINE HOURS THAT WE'RE INSIDE. NO ELECTRICITY, NO FOOD, TWO
GIRLS THAT ARE THE BIGGEST HEROES IN THE WORLD KEEPING QUIET. >> THEN AT 4:00, AFTER AN HOUR
OF DOOR TO DOOR COMBAT, THE RETIRED GENERAL FINALLY REACHED THEIR HOUSE. >> I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE WINDOW
OF THIS ARMORED ROOM WHERE THEY WERE HIDING. I KNOCK ON THE WINDOW AND I SAID AMIR, IT'S DAD.
>> WE HEAR MY FATHER'S VOICE. HE SAYS SOMETHING LIKE, OPEN, OPEN. AND GALIA OUR OLDER DAUGHTER,
SHE SAYS -- GRANDFATHER IS HERE. AND THAT'S -- THAT'S THE FIRST TIME WE STARTED CRYING. >> FOR NOW AMIR, MIRI AND THE
GIRLS ARE LIVING WITH THE GRANDPARENTS IN TEL AVIV AS IS THE DOG. MANY OTHER SURVIVORS OF NAHAL OZ
WERE EVACUATED TO ANOTHER KIBBUTZ IN THE NORTH HAVING BURIED AT LEAST TEN OF THEIR DEAD.
THEY ARE STILL LOOKING FOR MORE THAN TEN WHO ARE MISSING, PRESUMED TO BE HOSTAGES. [ TICKING ]
>>> A SURGE OF MIGRANTS AT THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER HAS CHOKED THE COUNTRY'S IMMIGRATION
SYSTEM. OVER THE LAST YEAR ABOUT 2 MILLION MIGRANTS HAVE BEEN APPREHENDED TRYING TO CROSS INTO
THE U.S., ANOTHER 1500 SEEKING ASYLUM, ARE ALLOWED IN EVERY DAY. SHELTERS ARE OVERFLOWING,
RESOURCES ARE STRETCHED THIN AND LAWMAKERS SEEM INCAPABLE OF FIXING IT. THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF
DYSFUNCTION OR DRAMA. ONE EPISODE ON THE BORDER LAST YEAR CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.
YOU MAY RECALL THE STORY OF THE 50 MIGRANTS WHO WERE UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED OFF ON THE ISLAND OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD,
SEVEN MILES OFF THE COAST OF MASSACHUSETTS. THE MIGRANTS ALL HAD PERMISSION TO BE IN THE UNITED STATES
PENDING ASYLUM HEARINGS AND WERE IN TEXAS, BUT IT WAS FLORIDA OFFICIALS WHO ARRANGED THE FLIGHTS NORTH.
TONIGHT, YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION INTO THOSE FLIGHTS AND WHY ONE SHERIFF SAYS IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A CRUEL POLITICAL
STUNT. HE SAYS IT WAS A CRIME. >> IN THE EARLY HOURS OF SEPTEMBER 14, 2022, 50 MIGRANTS
LINED UP ON THE TARMAC OF A MILITARY AIRFIELD IN SAN ANTONIO ANTONIO, TEXAS, AND BOARDED TWO PRIVATE JETS.
ONE PLANE CARRIED 25 MIGRANTS AND SIX OTHERS WERE ALSO ONBOARD. HOURS LATER, THE MIGRANTS LANDED
HERE, MORE THAN 2,000 MILES AWAY ON THE MASSACHUSETTS ISLAND OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD. >> THESE PEOPLE WERE EXHAUSTED
AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY JUST WERE TERRIFIED. >> THEY REALLY DIDN'T KNOW THEY
WERE ON AN ISLAND OR ANYTHING? >> THEY HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE COMING TO A SMALL ISLAND. >> JACKIE STALLINGS AND HER
HUSBAND LARKIN OWNED THE RITZ AND JACKIE SPEAKS SPANISH. I IMMEDIATELY SAID, YOU KNOW, WELCOME AND HOW ARE YOU?
ARE YOU OKAY? WHAT DO YOU NEED? THEY START TELLING ME THEIR RESUMES.
I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS. THEY ALL WANTED TO WORK. >> JACKIE SAID MIGRANTS SEEMED SHELL SHOCKED, SOME WERE SICK.
HELP SOON POURED IN FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE ISLAND ALONG WITH A FLOOD OF REPORTERS AFTER FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS
TOOK CREDIT FOR THE FLIGHTS AS PART OF THE NEWLY MINTED $12 MILLION MIGRANT RELOCATION PROGRAM.
>> THEY WERE HUNGRY, HOMELESS AND NO OPPORTUNITY AT ALL. STATE OF FLORIDA -- IT WAS VOLUNTEER, OFFERED TRANSPORT TO
SANCTUARY YOURS DICTIONS. >> THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR'S OFFICE DIDN'T TELL ANYONE ON THE VINEYARD ABOUT THE PLAN.
ISLANDERS DID NOT THINK IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT. >> I THINK THERE WAS THIS IDEA THAT BY DROPPING THESE MIGRANTS
OFF? MARTHA'S VINEYARD THEY WERE GOING TO STICK IT TO RICH, WHITE PEOPLE, LIBERAL ELITIST.
>> NO, THAT'S HILARIOUS BECAUSE HE MISSED IT BY TWO WEEKS. THEY WERE ALL GONE. >> WHO WAS LEFT?
>> SO WHAT'S LEFT IS WORKING CLASS FOLKS THAT ARE THE TEACHERS AND THE DOCTORS AND THE TAVERN OWNERS.
WHAT HE DID IS HE GOT A BUNCH OF HARDWORKING FOLKS TO COME TOGETHER AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM. >> THE STORY CAUGHT THE
ATTENTION OF SHERIFF JAVIER SALAZAR IN SAN ANTONIO. HE'S THE HIGHEST RANKING UNIFORMED OFFICER IN BEAR
COUNTY, TEXAS, ABOUT 140 MILES NORTH OF THE BORDER WITH MEXICO. >> WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION THAT THEY WERE TAKEN FROM YOUR
COUNTY? >> I WAS SHOCKED. WHY WHY?
WHY BEAR COUNTY? YOU'RE THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR? IO ARE YOU MESSING WITH PEOPLE IN BEAR COUNTY THAT ARE HERE
LEGALLY AT THAT POINT, BY THE WAY. THEY'RE NOT UNDOCUMENTED ANYMORE.
THEY'VE BEEN DOCUMENTED. THEY'RE HERE LEGALLY? SALAZAR, A DEMOCRAT, SPENT 23 YEARS WITH THE SAN ANTONIO
POLICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED SHERIFF IN 2016. HE ASKED HIS ORGANIZED CRIMES UNIT TO INVESTIGATE.
AFTER EIGHT MONTHS THEY UNCOVERED WHAT SHERIFF SALAZAR CALLS A COVERT CRIMINAL OPERATION CARRIED OUT BY
INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE CONTRACTED BY THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. >> WHEN YOU MOVE PEOPLE FROM
POINT A TO POINT B UNDER CONDITIONS OF DECEPTION THEN THAT QUALIFIES AS UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT.
>> I THINK WHEN YOU HEAR UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT YOU THINK GUN TO THE HEAD. THEY DIDN'T HAVE A GUN TO THEIR
HEAD. >> NO, THEY DIDN'T. THEY DID NOT HAVE A GUN TO THEIR HEAD.
IT WAS NOT DONE BY INDUCEMENT. IT WAS DONE BY DECEPTION. >> IT BEGAN HERE OUTSIDE THE MIGRANT RESOURCE CENTER IN SAN
ANTONIO. >> EXPLAIN HOW THIS ALL WENT DOWN. >> FROM WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO TELL
APARTMENT THIS POINT, BASICALLY THEY DROVE AROUND THE AREA LOOKING FOR PEOPLE THAT MAY LOOK LIKE THE TARGET AUDIENCE THAT
THEY'RE AFTER AND MADE THE APPROACH. >> THE TARGETS HE'S TALKING ABOUT ARE MIGRANTS LIKE DANIEL
CARO, THE 30-YEAR-OLD FROM VENEZUELA MADE THE MONTHS' LONG JOURNEY THROUGH CENTRAL AMERICA WITH HIS SISTER DEICI AND TWO
COUSINS AND THEY SUR RENNERED IN THE U.S. BORDER, REQUESTED ASYLUM AND WERE LAWFULLY PERMITTED TO ENTER THE U.S.
DAYS LATER THEY WERE OUTSIDE THE RESOURCE CENTER, TIRED AND HUNGRY, WHEN DANIEL SAYS TWO WOMEN IN A WHITE SUV OFFERED
HELP. ONE SPOKE SPANISH. >> Translator: SHE WAS SAYING WE WANT TO SEND YOU TO A STATE
WHERE THERE ARE NOT SO MANY MIGRANTS AND YOU WILL HAVE A LOT OF HELP BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE HOUSING AND ALL OF THAT.
>> IS MASSACHUSETTS EVER EVERYONE INNONED AS A POSSIBILITY? >> NO.
>> Translator: SHE NEVER SAID MASSACHUSETTS. >> DID THE WOMAN IN THE SUV GIVE HER HER NAME?
>> Translator:. YES. SHE SAID HER NAME WAS PERLA. PERLA HUERTA WHO THE MIGRANTS
IDENTIFIED AS THE WOMAN IN THIS PHOTO. ACCORDING TO THE PENTAGON, HUERTA IS A FORMER U.S. ARMY
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE AGENT. DOZENS OF TEXTS OBTAINED FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF ACCOUNTABILITY, WAS LOOKING FOR
MIGRANTS TO FILL THE PLANES. HER PROGRESS WAS REPORTED BACK TO KEY MEMBERS OF THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.
IN MID-AUGUST OF 2022, HUERTA TEXTED THEN FLORIDA PUBLIC SAFETY CZAR LARRY KEEFE AS SHE SEARCHED FOR MIGRANTS IN TEXAS.
JUST GOT BACK. CHURCHES WERE EMPLOY TEE. KEEFE SENDS THIS PROGRESS NOTE TO CHIEF UTH MEIER FOR GOVERNOR
DESANTIS. I'M BACK OUT HERE. CONDITIONS ARE DWIGHT FAVORABLE. VERY GOOD.
YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT. SHE INFORMS UTHMEIER THE GOVERNOR'S CHIEF OF STAFF THAT THE TWO PLANES COULD BE FILLED
TO CAPACITY. WE ARE AT 50, A DELIGHTED PEARLAER WITH THE PUT IT THIS WAY.
YAHTZEE, WE'RE FULL. THEY WERE FED AT THIS $59 A NIGHT HOTEL NEAR THE SAN ANTONIO AIRFIELD.
PERLA GAVE HIM A $10 McDONALD'S GIFT CARD. HE STILL CARRIES HIS. >> Translator: SHE SAID HERE'S A
CARD, BUT I NEED YOU TO SIGN THIS SHEET, AND WE SAID OKAY. WE WERE HUNGRY, SO WE SIGNED IT. >> Translator: SHE SAID YOU HAVE
TO SIGN TO BE ABLE TO GET THE CARD. >> THIS IS WHAT THEY SIGNED. A CONSENT TO TRANSPORT FORM.
THE MIGRANTS SAY THE ABBREVIATIONS FOR TEXAS AND MASSACHUSETTS WERE FILLED IN BY SOMEONE ELSE.
NOWHERE ON THE FORM DOES IT SAY MARTHA'S VINEYARD. THE NEXT MORNING THE 50 MIGRANTS BOARDED THE PRIVATE JETS.
DANIEL AND DEICI WERE EXCITED. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME EITHER OF THEM HAD BEEN ON A PLANE. FLIGHT DATA SHOWS THE JETS TOOK
OFF AT 8:00 A.M. AND STOPPED IN CRESTVIEW, FLORIDA, AND AGAIN IN THE CAROLINAS TO REFUEL. THEY LANDED ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD
AROUND 3:00 P.M. THE MIGRANTS WERE ESCORTED ON TO WAITING BUSSES AND THEN DROPPED OFF BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
ACCORDING TO PUBLIC RECORDS, THE OPERATION COST FLORIDA MORE THAN $600,000, ABOUT $12,000 A MIGRANT.
>> LOOK, IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE SOMEBODY AND FLY THEM HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY, DO IT UNDER FULL DISCLOSURE.
HEY, YOU'RE GOING GET ON THIS PLANE AND WE'LL TAKE YOU FROM POINT A TO POINT B, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
THERE'S NOTHING THERE SET UP FOR YOU WHEN YOU GET THERE SO YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN. ARE YOU IN OR NOT?
I WOULD THINK SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE MAY STILL SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? I'LL ROLL THE DICE.
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THAT'S NOT WHAT OCCURRED HERE. THEY PREYED UPON PEOPLE TO GET THEM ON TO THOSE -- THAT PLANE.
THEY EXPLOITED THEM, TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION THAT THEY WERE IN, A VERY DESPERATE SITUATION AND THEN TOOK THEM
THERE UNDER FALSE RETENSES. >> WHEN YOU SAY FALSE PRETENSES. YOU'RE SAYING THEY LIED TO THEM? >> ABSOLUTELY THEY LIED TO THEM.
THEY TOLD THEM THEY WERE GOING TO GET JOBS THERE AND HOUSING THERE AND THE ANSWER TO YOUR PRAYERS IS ON THIS PLANE AND
WE'LL TAKE YOU TO THE PROMISE LAND. YOU KNOW, THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH GOLD.
>> NOBODY. ABSOLUTELY NOBODY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO THE ISLAND OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD.
>> RACHEL SELF IS A CRIMINAL DEFENSE AND IMMIGRATION LAWYER WHO HAPPENS TO LIVE ON THE ISLAND OF CHAPPAQUIDDICK JUF OFF
THE EASTERN END OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD. SELF WHO SPEAKS SPANISH, WHO FOLLOWED THE LAWS TO ENTER THE
COUNTRY WERE MOST WORRIED ABOUT MISSING THEIR MANDATORY IMMIGRATION CHECK-S IN WHICH WERE SCHEDULED ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY. >> WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU MISS THAT CHECK-IN? >> IF YOU MISS THAT CHECK-IN
THERE'S A POTENTIAL THAT YOU COULD BE DEPORTED IN ABSENTIA. >> THEY ARRANGED CHECK-IN DATES FOR THE OTHER 49.
WE'VE BEEN TOLD THIS, TOLD THIS, TOLD THIS. WE WILL GIVE YOU JOBS. ARE YOU MY LAWYER THAT I'M GOING
TO GET? YOU KNOW, WHERE'S THE HOUSE THAT I'M GOING TO BE LIVING IN. >> AS PROOF OF THE PROMISES MOST
WERE CLUTCHING PAPERWORK THEY SAY WAS HANDED TO THEM 15 MINUTES BEFORE THEY LANDED ON THE VINEYARD.
>> MASSACHUSETTS REFUGEE BENEFITS. MASSACHUSETTS WELCOMES YOU, AND THIS IS NOT EVEN A FLAG FOR THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. >> THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE SAYS THE PACKET INCLUDED A MAP OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD SO IT WAS
OBVIOUS WHERE THEY WERE GOING. IT WAS NOT OBVIOUS WHERE THEY WERE GOING. THEY DIDN'T GET THAT MAP UNTIL
15 MINUTES BEFORE THE PLANE LANDED. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'M NOT AWARE OF BEING ABLE TO
CHANGE MY MIND MID-FLIGHT. >> THE PAMPHLET ALSO ADVERTISED BENEFITS AND SERVICES, CASH AND HOUSING ASSISTANCE, EMPLOYMENT
PROGRAMS, JOB PLACEMENT AND ENGLISH CLASSES. >> SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO ANY OF THAT.
>> NONE OF THAT. >> THEY'RE REFUGEES AND THEY'RE NOT TECHNICALLY REFUGEES. >> NO, THEY'RE PAROLEES SEEKING
ASYLUM AND WHOEVER PERPETRATED THIS SCHEME DIDN'T REALIZE THAT. >> RACHEL SELF SAYS IF IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS DETERMINE
THE 49 MIGRANTS WERE VICTIMIZED, THEY COULD RECEIVE JUSTICE IN THE FORM OF SOMETHING CALLED A U-VISA.
>> IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR A U-VISA YOU NEED TWO THINGS. YOU NEED TO HAVE A CERTIFICATION FROM A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL
THAT YOU WERE A VICTIM OF A CRIME, AND YOU THEN NEED TO SHOW THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF THE
CRIME. >> IN MY POSSESSION I HAVE MY 49ER IS THES. >> SHE FLEW TO TEXAS WITH A
U-VISA CERTIFICATIONS FOR SELL CZAR TO SIGN, AFTER CAREFUL REVIEW, HE DID. >> IF THE INTENTION OF THIS
STUNT WAS TO LOOK TOUGH ON MIGRANTS, WHAT DID IT ACTUALLY DO? >> IRONICALLY, IT PROVIDED THEM
A COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT AVAILABLE PASS TO LEGALIZE THEIR STATUS HERE. ONLY DANIEL, DEICI AND THEIR
COUSINS REMAINED ON THE VINEYARD WORKING ODD JOBS TO PAY THE BILLS. THE OTHER 45 SETTLED ON THE
MAINLAND. THEY'VE ALL BEGUN THE YEARS' LONG WAIT FOR THEIR ASYLUM CASES AND U-VISAS TO BE PROCESSED.
>> IT'S CONGRESS' FAILURE TO ACT THAT HAS CAUSED THIS TO BECOME SUCH A MAJOR BROKEN ISSUE IN THIS NATION.
WE USED TO PAROLE PEOPLE INTO THE COUNTRY AND GRANT THEM WORK AUTHORIZATION IN THE SAME STAMP, BUT NOW IT TAKES YEARS TO GET
WORK AUTHORIZATION SO IT CREATES THIS VACUUM FOR LABOR ABUSES TO THRIVE, HOUSING ABUSES TO THRIVE, HUMAN TRAFFICKING TO
THRIVE. >> THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE SAYS THESE MIGRANTS WERE ABANDONED AND THEY WERE HOMELESS AND THEY
WERE HUNGRY AND THEY GAVE THEM A CHANCE TO GO TO, QUOTE, GREENER PASTEURS. >> OH, MY GOSH, GIVE ME YOUR
TIRED AND HUNGRY. HE'S MAKING HIMSELF SOUND LIKE A BOY SCOUT, BUT AGAIN, YOU'RE A SCHOOL YARD BULLY WHO TOOK
ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO HAD NO CONSEQUENCE AND YOU'RE GETTING CALLED OUT ON YOUR CRAP. >> NO ONE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH
ANY CRIMES RELATED TO THE FLIGHT. THEY DECLINED TO SPEAK TO "60 MINUTES" ABOUT THE OPERATION.
IN JUNE SHERIFF SALAZAR RECOMMENDED FELONY AND MISDEMEANOR CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST TWO SUSPECTS HE WOULD
NOT NAME, BUT DESCRIBED AS THE FEMALE RECRUITERS DESCRIBED IN THE OPERATION. THOR SHOULDIVE'S RECOMMENDATION
IS UNDER REVIEW BY THE BEAR COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY. >> SO YOU CAN'T SEE IT FROM HERE, BUT ABOUT EIGHT BLOCKS
OVER MY LEFT SHOULDER IS THE ALAMO. WORD IS THAT THERE WAS A LINE DRAWN IN THE SAND WITH A SWORD
AND SOMEBODY SAID NOT ONE MORE DAMN INCH. ME, PRESENTING THIS CASE TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WAS
ME SAYING JUST THAT. NOT ONE MORE DAMN INCH. [ TICKING ] HEALTHCARE.
THERE FOR WHAT MATTERS. >>> NOW AN UPDATE ON LESLIE STAHL'S STORY LAST MONTH ABOUT HOW A GROUP OF CURRENT AND
FORMER MILITARY RESERVISTS HAD POURED INTO THE STREETS OF ISRAEL ALONG WITH MANY THOUSANDS OF OTHERS TO PROTEST PRIME
MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU'S MOVE TO WEAKEN THE COUNTRY'S SUPREME COURT. CO-FOUNDED BY EYAL NAVEH,
BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS MEMBERS WARNED ISRAEL WAS TAKING A STP TOWARD AUTOCRACY. THEY THREAT NOT TO REPORT FOR
DUTY CALLED UP. AFTER TERRORISTS ATTACKED EIGHT DAYS AGO THEY RUSHED IN SERVE IN THE MILITARY, OR LIKE EYAL NAVEH
SET UP AN OPERATION DISTRIBUTING FOOD, CLOTHES AND SUPPLIES, IDENTIFYING THE MISSING AND REUNIFYING FAMILIES.
