But breaking news.

Breaking news.

Very disturbing story.

This morning about Palm Sunday, Israeli police prevented Cardinal Pizzabella from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre early today as he went to, say, Palm Sunday Mass.

They put out a press release from the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem in the custody of the Holy Land.

This morning, the Israeli police prevented Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pizzabella, head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, together with

the custodian of the holy land from entering the church of the holy sepulcher in jerusalem as they made their way to celebrate palm sunday mass georgia maloney and the italian government i think is i have already called for the israeli ambassador to come have a visit so we're gonna get break all that down find exactly what happened uh eric prince you join us eric thank you and thank you for the obviously the guidance you gave from the stage at cpac um

Right there, we've got two messages.

We have a message from the National Security Advisor to the president, Marco Rubio, and also, I think, backed up by the vice president that says we don't need combat troops.

We're going down, as Jim Fennell has been showing us every day, a methodical process of defanging troops.

and declawing the traditional combat arms of the Iranian government and the Revolutionary Guard.

That continues on.

I think they say they have 3,500 targets left, and it's just a massive pounding every night, unrelenting, although I would say that the, I believe, ever since the Israelis attacked the gas fields,

of the Qatar that the initiative, the center of gravity of this battle has shifted to the Persian Gulf, the toll gate that now somehow, you know, the Houthis have in the Red Sea and the Revolutionary Guard feels they have in the Strait of Hormuz.

There's, I think, about 8,000 combat troops between 82nd Airborne

and two Marine Expeditionary Units that now are essentially on station, if the President so chooses.

But Marco Rubio tells us, and he told us many times, we're not going to need that.
