pete hegseth, and we start tonight out with a fox news alert. the us military has just launched retaliatory attacks against iranian backed militias in iraq and syria. the us central command says over 85 targets were struck. these strikes come just days after three american soldiers were killed in a deadly drone attack on the border in jordan. for the latest, let's bring in international correspondent mike tobin. mike, what do we know? well we know that we've got the first images coming out of iraq. you just had them up a second ago. al-qa'im iraq. this is the very western part of iraq on the border with syria, very near some of the other locations, as you mentioned, some 85 targets were hit in seven different locations, both

in iraq and syria. hit by 125 munitions. those seven locations are divided up to four inside of syria. three of them inside of iraq. the us says that the targets were all iranian revolution guard, command and control weapons storage, logistics, support for both the irgc and the proxies they support. the us says the american aircraft are now all out of harm's way in the battle. damage assessment is underway. the nsc spokesman, john kirby, despite the battle assessment not being done yet, called the strike successful to this point. so far, here in israel, we have not seen any retaliation. but hezbollah positions in the north of israel are being watched nervously as well as hamas's ability to fire rockets out of the gaza strip. their capacity has been diminished, of course, by the war. but they still can fire rockets at civilian targets. also, you have the houthis in the south. they did fire earlier in the day before

the us strikes. at least the houthis took credit for one rocket that was taken up by israel's arrow defense system. pete back to you, mike. thank you very much for the update. well you just heard the stats. 125 strikes, 85 sites, seven general locations, six days after the fact, in the middle of the night, everybody saw this coming, especially our enemies. remember, every single iranian backed militia leader in iraq and syria is in their fourth safe house. by now, living to fight another day. a key takeaway this administration idea of deterrence is trying really hard not to kill too many people. now this is all deadly serious for our troops. yeah but very foolish of our leaders . what does 125 strikes on 85 sites even mean? as an army platoon leader? imagine if, after losing three of my guys to the enemy, i went out on

patrol six days later, came back to my commander and said, successful mission, sir. we shot 125. really expensive bullets at 85 different houses. he then ask, but who did you kill and how did you finish the fight? you see, those are real questions. everything else is for show, for pentagon press releases and press conferences, for cable news banners. who did we kill? what did it change? and will it deter anything? or because of our futility and frankly, sheer hubris? will it only further fueling a deeper cycle of instability? you know, our track record in the middle east for the past two decades, and i've been a part of it, would suggest we're only going to make this mess messier. more attacks, more instability, more radicalism. i'm just ask the taliban. you see, these days we

don't finish fights. we don't decimate our enemies. we don't unleash our war fighters. at least this administration doesn't ask the former isis caliphate whether trump did. well, they're not around to answer that question. so our wars become endless and our troops become targets. yes. this is not foreign policy. this is folly. this is a this is playing a high stakes game of chicken with an enemy and an entire region that collectively chants death to america and death to israel. it's the founding premise of their country, of their theocratic country. right now, iran does not have a nuclear bomb. good. imagine once they do, we can bomb empty headquarters in syria today. but once iran has a nuclear bomb, this little military industrial complex charade is over. bombing a country is an act of war. war, or at least it used to be. someday soon, when american

power is no longer unquestioned and that day is coming, bombing countries like this will once again have terrible consequences for far more than three americans. or 13 been at abbey gate after two failed wars, we still have thousands of troops in no man's land in iraq and syria. some of which clearly cannot defend themselves. forget what john kirby tells you. our troops do not have sufficient air defenses against simple enemy drones. thousands of iranian low tech drones can overwhelm our high tech air defenses. in this case, it was just one. imagine a thousand. does every base have it? mine didn't do theirs just ask israel how that turns out. i also hear from guys on the ground there that their rules of engagement do

not truly allow them to secure the areas of operation around their bases. that's why we use phrases like sitting ducks. we're told their mission is to keep a lid on isis. yet iranian proxies are running rampant around. iraq and syria, as we saw from these strikes. so it sounds a lot like the strategic mistake of the iraq war trying to kill a bunch of radical sunni terrorists while emboldening iranian and. shia groups in the process. and voila, who's stronger? iran. you see, in that region, we try one thing and we get another. that's what i see in the middle east. and today we're led by dunces in camouflage who think our diversity is our strength and that climate change is the greatest, greatest threat. we face. got to help us. and with this administration in charge, as old joe says, may god protect our troops from him.

let's bring in jim hansen, who served in the us army special forces. jim, am i off base here? you saw the stats. you saw the card, you've seen the reaction. what do you think this was a pr exercise to generate a smokescreen to hide the fact that the biden administration doesn't think iran is our enemy. they're still under the delusional fantasy. that somehow, if we're just nice enough to them, if we just send them enough planeloads of cash, somehow they'll come around and stop being the largest state sponsor of terrorism and someone who kills americans with impunity. i think this is a disgraceful answer to what was an act of

war by iran, and not their first against us, no doubt. i mean, they jim, they've been in war with us since the since 1979. i mean, they've been at war with us in iraq. how many of our troops, hundreds of our troops, guys we served with were killed by iranian made bombs? i mean, we know iran is at war with us. that's no doubt. so considering this administration, what would you like to see happen? or or or is there anything this administration could do, or are they simply just view iran as not an enemy? you know, i remember not too long ago when there were some iranian militias running rampant and all of a sudden president trump turned qassem soleimani back into his component molecules. and things got quiet for a while. um you strike people directly, they take you seriously and there was this ridiculous report today out where u.s. intelligence believes that iran doesn't actually control these militias . now, the middle east forum has a vast network of sources across the middle east, and we

see examples of direct iranian control every day. so they are running this. they are controlling this. i imagine it might have been a kataib hezbollah guy who pushed the button on that drone, but there was an iranian quds force guy standing behind him making sure he didn't screw it up. no doubt, jim, you know, you're a green beret. you're involved in direct operations. how often did you wait six days. and if you did wait six days, what impact did it have on the target you were hoping to acquire? you know, part of the problem was they literally asked qatar to go to iran and tell them that we don't want a war, but we have to do something. is it okay if we blow some stuff up in the desert? and i'm not joking about that. pete that comes from several reliable sources. they wanted to know if they were allowed. they asked our enemy and gave them a heads up to make sure, like you said, they could move out their leaders. they could move out the equipment they didn't want blown up. and biden would get his night time shots of explosions to show that he was a tough guy. it was a joke, and it's making us less safe. it's the exact opposite of deterrence. you're exactly right. is the exact opposite of the trump administration, where iran came to us and said, hey, we need to shoot some missiles

in the middle of nowhere to make it look like we're responding now. we're the ones doing that in the weaker position. jim, you're exactly right. thanks for your service and your time tonight. we appreciate it. good to be with you, pete. all right. joining me now former army special forces commander robert greenway. robert, you've, uh, you see the strikes tonight? the retaliation. um, what do you make of it? so i think both you and jim got it about right. it's, uh, six days after we lost three americans who were just returned to their families today. and our condolences certainly go out to them. it was also too late. it gave us six days to make this into a communications exercise, not a military operation. it was also rather small, considering the scale of it. 125 munitions. to your point, sounds like a lot. but in 2017 we dropped over 30,000 bombs in iraq and syria, 5000 in 1 month alone. and the targets at abu kamal at al-qa'im, that is a complex that contains nearly a thousand structures that could absorb

125 bombs and have over the years without any impact whatsoever. so i fear we are not going to restore deterrence by this, and i fear that the escalation is going to continue. does this white house actually think that an exercise like this would restore deterrence? you're exactly right. the number one, 25 in 85 is specifically meant to look big to a western audience, to a cable news viewer. but what does what does iran actually read from this? does it lead to any semblance of deterrence? absolutely not. i mean, these are going after the same empty warehouse facilities, the infrastructure we have hit like clockwork, and it is obviously not had the desired. effect. they need to be struck and it's good, but it's insufficient. we gave the real commanders, the iranians, the quds force cadres over a week, essentially to vacate the premises, and there are difficult bunch to target to begin with. it takes a quite it takes a weeks in many cases to develop accurate pattern of life to do it. it took us months to do it for qassem

soleimani, for example. and that preparation takes time. you'd think we'd be there already, but unfortunately we're not. so the iranian interpretation of this is the same that we are too weak to restore deterrence. they are not going to be deterred by it. and this will continue. this will continue. do you think this i mean, we talk about the loss of three. it could be much more. i mean, you've been on remote bases. i have two. there was mine was years ago, ten years ago. in one case, 15 in another. we didn't have air defenses because we didn't believe that. i mean, it was rudimentary mortars or rockets that were fired based on kentucky windage. there was no drone threat from an enemy. so we didn't have air defense systems on our base. do every single one of these remote bases in iraq and syria have sophisticated air defenses? what if iranian tried to send a dozen or two dozen drones at these bases? are our troops in the middle of iraq and syria? are safe? yeah, well, you're exactly right. i mean, look at al assad. it's our largest base in iraq and syria. it was attacked. it launched 12 patriot missiles last week. and

intercepted all but two. and if that one is our most well-defended site, if it's incapable of defending itself, you can bet the remote sites like you and i have been on or not. but then again, those remote sites that you and i served on offense was our defensive weapon. we didn't we didn't wait for defensive systems to engage. we made sure the area around us was safe. correct but they're not allowed to do that anymore. that's the scary part. so if you can't clear it and you don't have air defense, then you really are a sitting duck. and three might be the beginning. and that's the sin. sir, thank you very much for your time. appreciate it. thank you pete, you got it. all right. where are the illegals who stomped out two new york city cops? well, they're not in jail, and they might not even be in new york. when barbara switched to turbotax, i broke four generations of family tradition with five little words. mom, i want to make perfume. getting.

mattresses made affordable. we.

just told you all about the us airstrikes in iraq and syria. so what is the white house's response? let's bring in fox news senior national correspondent rich edson rich. well, the white house says that it's retaliation against iran and the proxies it backs is only just started and that we can expect more of it. president biden is, as his home in delaware, white house released a statement in his name earlier this evening saying, quote, our response began today. it will continue at times in places of our choosing. the united states does not seek conflict in the middle east or anywhere else in the world, but let all those who might seek to do us harm know this if you harm an american, we will respond. the biden administration says the us military struck seven sites in iraq and syria, using 125 precision guided weapons to hit 85 different targets chosen to avoid civilians. officials say they believe these strikes were successful, but say they're still assessing the damage and how many militants they may have killed. this is in response to an iranian proxy drone attack on a us position

in jordan sunday that killed three american soldiers, sergeants william rivers kennedy sanders and brianna moffatt. the president attended their dignified transfer this afternoon at dover air force base in delaware. he spoke with their families beforehand. republicans have been urging the white house to respond to the deadly attack robustly and quickly, and largely say this evening's retaliation is lacking. the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, michael mccaul, says, quote, almost after a week of today's strikes are long overdue. following a delay that allowed our enemies to prepare the biden administration must be decisive with sustained retaliatory strikes and begin to enforce oil and other sanctions to cut off the source of terror funding. iran had previously said that it's not looking for a war in the middle east, but says it would respond if attacked. back to you. thank you rich, appreciate it. so the white house says these attacks tonight are by no means an act of war. what does that mean? well, let's bring in former

green beret michael glover. michael thank you for being here. you heard what the white house has to say. this is every time they speak about striking an enemy. now, in response to the death of our troops, they say, but we don't want to. we don't want we don't want conflict. what kind of message is this white house sending? it's a weak one. i mean, we've been advertising this for almost a week now. it's given the enemy plenty of time to get all the players out and essentially hit empty containers in the middle of the desert. also put our troops at further risk. and that's a problem. i mean, now the enemy has the will and now incentive to get further involved. it's the same thing that just happened with the houthis. we thought those attacks were going to suppress them, and they continue to attack because they do have that will. and now they have an incentive. we're not, he said directly. we do not seek further conflict. this is exactly what he's doing. so in search of deterrence, we're definitely going to get more conflict because our messages

are confusing and our response is insufficient. and oh, by the way, we're already playing footsie with iran and we somehow think they can be our friend. is there anything to salvage out of this? like how how could you play it forward so that we don't get dragged into something deeper here? well i hate to say it because not a lot of people are, but you have to address the cancer that it is instead of the symptoms that we continue to do. it's like putting band-aids on hatchet rules. it's like iran is the problem. when me and you were overseas fighting, we were fighting shia backed militias that were backed by iran and they were killing a lot of our brothers and sisters in arms. we took muqtada al sadr off the off the hit list, and we decided to play a diplomatic game. i'm all about diplomacy here, but the left hand is not talking to the right, and we're shooting missiles into the dark. some of these organizations that have been targeted, i guarantee, like joe kent said on his twitter, have been funded and trained by american forces. it's u.s. taxpayers. paying for

u.s. taxpayers to be annihilated. which is just further increasing issues on the ground. you're exactly right. the only way you can have diplomacy. i agree diplomacy is what we should want is if you're you're holding a gun in the other hand, saying, hey, let's cut this deal because it's a deal. you're going to take, and it's a deal that works for us, especially in a neighborhood of the world that only respects strength. you're exactly. right. i appreciate your time. thank you. sir and for your service. thank you. got it. well while biden launches bombs in the mideast, our southern border is completely open and unsecured. if our enemies want to break in, the door is wide open and americans are being killed as a result, a lot more than three of them. we don't know who's getting through, but we do know terrorists have been caught time and time again, trying to cross and we know these illegals got in one illegal that's accused of attacking the nypd has a rap sheet about a mile long. he was

caught punching out a store clerk and stealing a couple a couple of months ago. he's caught stealing as well, but he was never deported. that's their policy. when the illegals walked out of jail, you saw it. yours ticked as i am about it, they flicked us off. they gave the middle finger to all of us, to every american at that camera. and now the cops seem to think they ran off to hide in california. they're due in court in new york next week on tuesday. i'm not kidding. we think they're in california now. yeah, they're going to show up for that court date in new york city on tuesday. um hum. that's the policy. last night, another illegal was walking around showing his buddies the video of the cops getting jumped these images these stories will kill democrats in 2024. they are literally killing

americans. a lot more than 3. as tragic as those killings were of our brave troops... how many are dying because of a porous southern border. >> there are over 100 crimes that are also can lead to deportation. that is also something i want to have a conversation with. district attorney about his options here. i don't believe this investigation concluded. there are more charges to be had. >> such garbage. deporting these thugs would be a good start. welcome to the party. there is about 10 million more. brandon judd president of the national -- sometimes you need a

moment that is so jarring. this m imagine. i have had more reaction because it was illegals, it was a cop. it was barberism. it was meet release. flicking off americans. now on the lam out to california we think never to show sup for the court dates tuesday. you said it is friday. this is what we do everyday we release people and never come back. as much as a hate this image happy they did that. that is what we see on the border everyday our agents. we see that every time we put on a uniform. we get spit on. they hang us the bird, cuss it out and kill our children. this administration does nothing to help us. they hung us the bird. we taught them that is okay. we reward them. they know they can do that.

they know they can flee to california and that is one what draws people. they can commit further crimes and not held accountable. >> we are not as serious country. not even remotely. you are waving people through and ultimately letting them go and with no deterrent and no punishment. you are literally not a country. you don't have law and order or justice? >> you are absolutely correct. you hear vice president harris the border is not open. proof is in the pudding. if people cross our borders illegally and released, that is the definition as an open border. if cartels can bring in fentanyl, criminal ail yents if

they can do that, that is an open border. everything we are seeing defines open border. administration continues to pander to its open border radical base. >> brandon, they say these are asylum seekers fleeing the gangs. pretty sure it is the gangs. thank you for what you do under impossible circumstances, god bless you. fanny finally confesses her love and doesn't care who knows it.

>> well i think k-12 is because it's a larger group of people and the people are much more impressionable at a younger age. the problem is that for any totalitarian ideology, and that is what cultural marxism is, it never appeals to 51% of the population so they always have to indoctrinate at a very early age and prep people into so-called correct way of thinking. that's the commission. the other side of omission is it requires a compliant or ignorant student. for all that effort we put in dei we are leaving out philosophy, history, language, math, science. we are creating these arrogant zealots who are very ignorant and don't have the tools, the inductive thinking, the empirical method of inquiry to impute this indoctrination. you lose both ways by omission and call mission. that's why people are fleeing

the public schools in droves. >> that radicalization at younger levels if you talk to professors and talk about this in the special poison ivy exacerbates the radicalism on college campuses him. now it's not just the marxist professors it's the woke students who are demanding activism in colleges. >> that is knew. the idea was before that people who were politically disinterested or neutral came to college and they came home the first semester and shocked the parents with all the marxist stuff they went through because they got it from the professors. now the students are coming in to college more radical than the professors. you heard the professor say i am left-wing but i cannot believe what the students are demanding of me. this whole idea of segregated spaces and segregated dorms by race, safe spaces, that's a groundswell from the bottom up. it's pretty disturbing because our national preeminence and competitive depends on a better educated population.

generally speaking our competitors have simply been forfeited. that's a tragedy. >> exactly right. if you want to hear more go deeper into how did we get here, check out poison ivy on fox nation. the entire series right now on the fox news channel sunday night at 10:00 p.m. victor, thanks for participating and always being enlightening us so much on this topic. thank you. >> thank you, pete. i will see you tomorrow morning on "fox & friends". weekend starts at 6:00 a.m. eastern, 2:00 p.m. in syria. thank you all for joining us tonight on "jesse watters primetime". sean hannity is up next. if you would, as i always tell you, i'm not jesse watters and this is not my world. hope you have a great friday night. we start this friday
