jennifer griffin is at the at the pentagon. airman, cq brown, and i'm wondering what's coming out of the pentagon right now. what are you told? >> well, thank you, harrison, let me just correct one thing that john said, the pentagon and the joint chiefs were well aware that this was coming and figured we knew. we knew yesterday. obviously, they had alerted the israelis what they were seeing, because we knew at the time, when we left yesterday evening that they were seeing from the air that iranian ballistic missiles were moving the same kind of activity that they saw back in april. and they were expecting this. in fact, they knew almost to the hour in which this was going to happen. we were told it was going to happen in the 12:00 hour eastern time. and it did. so they have been watching this. they have they in fact, defense secretary lloyd austin had moved what we're told is about double the assets into the middle east. that they had back in april. they had sent several thousand additional troops with air squadrons into the mid

we heard from jennifer griffin's interview with defense secretary lloyd austin that he wants to see this attack limited to military targets only. it is notable, sean, that one day after that massive ballistic missile attack against israel, the largest in the history of mankind, this was a 180 ballistic missiles. the world had never seen. that. president biden said a day later. he did not want to see israel striking iran's nuclear sites, nor its oil terminals. so it does appear that this retaliatory strike is limited. and, of course, it comes roughly two weeks after the white house approved that third anti-ballistic missile system to israel, along with about 100 soldiers. of course, that is very similar to the arrow two, israel's advanced anti-ballistic missile system that can shoot down ballistic missiles not only inside the earth's atmosphere but also in space. sean lucas tomlinson, thank you so much. tonight we are less than two weeks away from election day and the global turmoil under biden and harris now reaching a fever pitch. america's adversaries, they do not fear joe biden. they

we heard something similar from defense secretary lloyd austin in his interview with jennifer griffin earlier this week, that the white house does want these attacks limited to military targets only, not the nuclear sites, not the oil terminals. and that appears. what's going on tonight, jesse? all right. lucas, thanks so much. another fox news alert. legal battles over the election are getting nastier. kamala's lawyered up to the teeth. she calls this voter protection. we call it. they're changing the rules. at the last minute. that's exactly what happened in virginia today. recently, governor youngkin cleansed around 1600 noncitizens from the voter rolls. but a federal judge just ruled that these non-citizens must be put back on the rolls. youngkin says he's been cleaning up voter rolls for years. it's in the virginia constitution. it has to be done. but biden-harris took youngkin to court and a federal judge said, no, no, no, no. illegal voters have to stay active in virginia. so why is the federal government fighting this hard to make sure noncitizens can vote? the outrageous deci

associated press and notably fox news confirmed the story, causing trump to demand that fox news fire jennifer griffinll-regarded defense reporter. a statement issued by alyssa farah, a white house spokesperson, soon after publication read, quote, this report is false. president trump holds the military in the highest regard. of course alyssa farah is now a high-profile surrogate for vice president kamala harris. she explains in the article that she was lied to. but two important things there. one, the truth is the truth. and if it wasn't true it wouldn't have been confirmed by fox news and the associated press. and the people who go to work for donald trump are asked to lie. they become liars as alyssa farah was in the first reporting of losers and suckers. >> yeah, look, this gets to one of the more ominous issues that i think is probably going to be illustrated in this now what, 15, 20-minute story that you've been breaking here. one of the ways in which donald trump has been enormously successful at advancing his project has been to call into question the very idea of an objective truth. remember,
