6:00 pm
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 night
6:01 pm
with a fox news alert. retaliatory airstrikes have begun in the middle east. according to the pentagon the u.s. military conducted strikes against iranian backed militias in iraq and syria striking more than 85 targets. the u.s. says it hit command and control operations and intelligence centers. this comes after three american soldiers were killed and dozens more injured in a drone strike in a base in jordan this past weekend. launched by iranian proxies. iran is responsible for pretty much all the trouble in the region. here is jennifer griffin live from the pentagon. any word on why the targets were not in iran considering they are the source of all of these proxy attacks and terror attacks? >> sean, officials who i spoke to said they were ruling out striking inside iran in this first set of strikes. and they want to message to iran they are not trying to go to war with iran.
6:02 pm
they are hoping iran gets the message based on these strikes against their proxies and the irgc strikes. the sites that they had tonight. the strengths lasted 30 minutes. u.s. central command submitted the targeting list to the white house. it's a campaign, i am told, to maximize pain for the iranian proxy forces that killed u.s. troops with a suicide drone hitting the barracks while they slept on sunday. in a statement defense secretary lloyd austin said, quote, "this is the start of our response. the president has directed additional actions to hold the irgc and affiliated militias accountable for their attacks on u.s. and coalition forces. these will unfold at times and places of our choosing. we do not seek conflict in the middle east or anywhere else. but the president and i will not tolerate attacks on american forces. we will take all necessary actions to defend the united states, our forces and interests. that is from lloyd austin. u.s. airstrikes began at
6:03 pm
4:00 p.m. eastern at seven locations, three in iraq and pour in syria according to senior u.s. defense officials. 2b1b lancer bombers launched from the united states and flew without stopping from the u.s. to take part in the attacks. they refueled in midair along the way. the supersonic warplanes can carry the air forces largest conventional payload. u.s. central command said in a statement, quote, "u.s. military forces struck more than 85 targets. the airstrikes employed more than 125 precision munitions. the facilities that were struck included command-and-control operations centers, intelligence centers, rockets and missiles and unmanned air vehicle storage is. and logistics ammunition supply chain facilities of militia groups and the irgc sponsors who facilitated these attacks on u.s. and coalition forces. the u.s. navy did not participate in these strikes
6:04 pm
tonight despite having a massive presence in the red sea and in the mediterranean. u.s. officials have ruled out striking inside iran at this time saying they do not want a larger war. defense secretary austen was asked about what he described as a multitiered response that could last days. >> i don't think the adversaries are of a one and done mindset. and so they have a lot of capability. i have a lot more. and so, as i said earlier, we are going to do what's necessary to protect our troops and our interests. >> pentagon officials also say that for now the u.s. does not plan to strike inside yemen. that could change if the who the steps up attacks. the first round of strikes will be contained to iraq in. >> i would go back and remind people that the first attack against the rebels did not stop them.
6:05 pm
it accelerated the attacks against u.s. flagships in the region. one of the questions i would have, jennifer and maybe you can answer as you talk to the pentagon sources is there almost attacks within iraq and syria against u.s. forces. there was very little accountability from the last attack. i think we had two empty warehouses. i'd like to understand why it took that many attacks for them to respond with a lot more power. firepower tonight. >> as i said this is a lot more firepower but it has been telegraphed all week. and so most of those sites would have been empty and not many personnel there. certainly any of the irgc commanders and leaders would have gone back to iran or gone into hiding. there certainly was, it seems, a conscious effort to try not to kill too many people and certainly some of the leaders will have to see what the bomb damage assessment, whether these
6:06 pm
sites, how destroyed where they and what was the damage assessment. i will say, sean, as the secretary said is not one and done. i would expect more of this tomorrow night at more sites. but the real outlier is the houthis. they have not gotten the message and if they start firing that will open up a whole knew front in this conflict. >> one keyword you mentioned is they have been telegraphing it all week. that will be questioned in detail. we will have questions about it tonight. great reporting throughout the day jennifer griffin. thank you. live on the ground in tel aviv tonight is mike tobin. the reaction there tonight? >> one thing i can tell you is the iraqis are not happy about it. we have an iraqi military spokesperson saying the strikes inside iraq have threatened the sovereignty of that nation and he said they threatened to, quote, "drag the region into unforeseen consequences. this despite john kirby saying
6:07 pm
the iraqi government was indeed warned ahead of the strikes. 85 targets were hit at seven locations four inside of syria three inside iraq. command and control structures according to u.s. central command were hit. logistics supports for the irgc and the subsequent proxies as well as logistics and intelligence locations. so far we have not seen any kind of violent response here in israel. although a nervous eye is being kept on hezbollah and hamas even though hamas ability to fire rockets is greatly diminished and the houthis did fire earlier in the day at israel. at least they claimed responsibility for a surface to surface rocket that was fired at israel taken out with the arrow defense system. sean? >> mike tobin, thank you for that report. we appreciate it. joining us with more reaction to tonight's airstrikes retired lieutenant general keith kellogg is with us. general, maybe i am just a
6:08 pm
little suspicious. one, they waited till we had nearly 200 attacks against our troops. two, i really don't understand that why they were telegraphing that this was coming and where it was coming and that warnings were sent out. and frankly, if you really want to send a message to iran that is responsible for all of this, all of these proxy wars, why go for low hanging fruit in iraq and syria? because it safer? why not take on iran directly in this sense. i don't want to war with iran. i will be clear about that in a minute. why do we not target iranian refineries and let them know clearly that there will be consequences if they attack u.s. troops nearly 200 times? >> sean, thanks for having me. great questions. you are absolutely right. these were punitive targets. they were not targets designed to ensure deterrence. here is where they should have
6:09 pm
gone. this is just my belief. i'm not one of those who wants to start world war iii in the persian gulf. i want to reestablish all deterrence. the largest export terminal that the iranians have in the persian gulf. why did they sink the iranian spy ship that is targeting all those vehicles going into the red sea? why didn't they target all the drone factories that are in iran? they could have gone after personnel as well. they didn't do that. they went after the low hanging fruit. they made it easy. you've got to make it hard on the iranians. they need to know you are taking this to a level that makes them uncomfortable and makes you uncomfortable, but you've got to make them stop. it's the same thing we did when we and after sollom on a. we realized in the trump administration that it was a high risk. we knew there were many consequences but we also knew that going that high on the escalation ladder would have
6:10 pm
them pause and rethink. that's exactly what happened. you are not seeing that right now. i don't think these targets while they make you feel good about all the strikes they are not going to change anything there you'll see the houthis continue to attack and attack in the middle east. the next question is, now where do you go? they may end up going where they said they need to go which is significant targeting within iran and significant targets that mean something to the iranians. both economic, military and leadership as well. >> i will make it clear in my monologue. i don't want to war with iran. however if they are going to attack american troops it's got to be more than taking out two empty warehouses. that wasn't effective. the minimal strikes against the houthis may be five people died. that only made them more aggressive. to me if they want to send a message to iran, take out the refineries and take out the money and take out their ability to foreman terry and fight roxy
6:11 pm
wars. that would be far more effective. do it with the element of surprise, that means you don't telegraph what you are about to do, which they did. >> yeah. when you talk about delays when i look back and looked at all these times we hit targets in the trump administration and before that. the longest delay i saw was four days. we were heading into our sixth day on this one. this gives them all the time in the world to reset. they had those target set well before. if you look at the commanders putting those targets together all they do is update them. you can launch those forces almost immediately. you could actually start those targets within 48 hours not five or six days down the line. that gives them time to react and respond in time to gear up and evacuate personnel. that's exactly what happened. i would love to see what the bomb damage assessment would be. i don't think it will be that significant. this is just may be part of the campaign because we have to
6:12 pm
repeat these targets again and again and again until we get really serious and really hard. i know its difficult and i know there is risks. but actually go inside iran and go where the problem really is. that is iran. 3 lieutenant general keith kellogg said as always we appreciate your time tonight. following the strike senator lindsey graham up south carolina was critical of the administration's response telling fox, quote, "the lapse of time has lessen the impact of deterrence and by not hitting oil infrastructure in iran or revolutionary guard personnel, you will have failed to make the point. by the way, i agree with senator graham. the lapse of time, giving a heads up and a warning that this is coming absolutely lessens the impact. let me be very clear. i am not advocating a war with iran. there's got to be some certain rules in life that evil nations need to abide by. if you attack american troops
6:13 pm
nearly 200 times, there must to be and will be severe consequences without any warning. and if you really want to send a strong message to the irani ins you need to carry out the strikes inside of iran, hit them where it hurts. that would be the number one source of their economy and revenue. that would be the oil infrastructure. take out their ability to make money. the money used to fund terrorism. that money would send a clear message. those refineries if they were taken out, guess what? they would be in big trouble tonight. here with more is arkansas senator tom carton. i love your perspective on all this. i don't like the idea of telegraphing what we idea of we are doing and don't like the idea this is low hanging fruit. i'd like to see what the full response is going to be and i'd like to see what the real aftermath is.
6:14 pm
they've already tried to, quote, "two pointless attack that ended up being meaningless. why would they think this is any different? >> good evening, sean. those are all good questions. a lot of the points you make are the points i hear from arkansans. they don't want a war but they understand the quickest way to get a war is the timid responses we have seen from joe biden for three years. these attacks have accelerated since the october 7th atrocity in israel. there were almost 100 attacks on our troops before that atrocity on october seventh. we responded four or five times hitting empty warehouses. the way you prevent a war from happening is strong, confident, forceful retaliation whenever enemy nations target your troops. that is what president trump did when they attacked. that is what ronald ragan did when he sank half the navy in 1988. that prevents a war.
6:15 pm
>> i agree. i go back to my earlier point they telegraphed it and gave them time to prepare. the people responsible had time to escape. i don't really think the irani ins for one second give a hoot, i will be pleasant about it, about what happens in iraq and syria. i don't think they care at all. i don't think they care of any of the proxy fighters are killed. they are figuring rightly so that there was a million more volunteers behind them that will go out and do their bidding if they supply the weaponry and that is what they have been getting away with. >> that is right, sean. iran is willing to fight american israel to the very last arab. that's what we can't allow them to do. they have a proxy strategy. when all we do is hit the proxies it simply validates the proxy strategy. you have to take the fight to the irani ins at themselves.
6:16 pm
to telegraph for five days to all of the leaders could hightail back to iran and then limit ourselves to the infrastructure or the command and control centers or the bunkers they have in iraq and syria. it's a tactical success. but they can get new bunkers and new command and control centers. you have to hit iran where it hurts. you shouldn't be telegraphing it five or six days in advance and you shouldn't be saying all week long how we don't want to x collate. we don't think iran controls these group. the nuclear program is on ice. all of these leaks are designed to send a signal the exact opposite of what joe biden is sending. he wants to send a signal to have peace and quiet. all that really does is embolden the ayatollah to continue these attacks. that's the measure of success here. to the attacks on international troops and shipping stop? >> well said tom cotton. thank you tonight for being with us. sadly bite and's weakness and his policy of endless appeasement is only emboldened
6:17 pm
iran. biden has now turned a blind eye to iran selling oil abroad. they've made hundreds of billions of dollars. remember biden on froese $6 billion for them as a ransom payment in the prisoner swap? and biden waived sanctions and allowed a $10 million payment from iraq to iran for electricity. again allowing them to use more funds to fund more proxy wars. even the white house admitted this was a possibility at the time. take a look. >> since the iranian regime won't touch the $6 million of iranian funds being unfrozen. isn't it true that this frees to spend more on other nefarious goals like supporting terrorism and loosening its nuclear program? >> to the degree that they continue destabilizing activities and i can't predict what they will do going forward,
6:18 pm
but we are already have pressure in place on iran through sanctions and our military presence in the gulf region. we won't hesitate to take additional action as we see further destabilizing activity by iran. there is a lot of checks and balances on this money. they won't get their hands on it. it will go directly to the iranian people for food, water, medicine and supplies. the iranian people will not be punished. they will be aided by this. >> joining us now is florida congressman mike waltz and fox news contributor brett is with us. congressman, let me start with you. this is a very important point. the first policy that the biden administration had was appeasement. that is where they turned a blind eye to them selling oil and making hundreds of billions of dollars. then it was let's bribe iran and do a $6 billion payment for hostages.
6:19 pm
then of course allowing the $10 billion from iraq to be paid. $10 billion! that's an awful lot of money. joe biden's policies have helped the iranians get rich again. now we have nearly 200 attacks against american troops in iraq and syria do nothing. and before this they telegraph and go after proxies and don't go after the head of the snake. if they would've taken out the refineries which i don't want a war with iran, but i don't want american troops abroad to be attacked 200 times either. the only way to stop that is the use of fierce course of the united states. show them what we are capable of. hit them where it hurts. this to me does not hurt them. >> sean, i share your skepticism and senator cotton's. once it became clear that we were once again the definition
6:20 pm
of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again to no effect. we are once again hitting the proxies rather than the irgc, the iranians are right there beside them advising, training, equipping and leading. they are right there beside them. we gave them plenty of time to get out of there. once we hit the proxies i fear, i want this to be successful, but i fear it's not going to be. i just heard tonight from soldiers who are downrange right now and they are telling me this is going to equate to nothing more then a multimillion dollar fireworks show. this is yet another check the box. and by the way, journalists who are in the middle east, the bbc and others are reporting that many of those sites were already evacuated. everybody in the region knew this was coming. once again, i think we are hitting empty sites. and finally you want to shut off
6:21 pm
the cash? house republicans pass the ship act that would put secondary sanctions on chinese brokers, shipping companies, insurance companies, refineries that are pouring billions into iran through buying their oil. that has been sitting on chuck schumer's feet. he can take it up and send it to the president's desk tomorrow if we were serious about cutting off the cash that is not only fueling terrorism, it sending drones and missiles to russia that is then hitting ukraine. this is just an infuriating policy. this appeasement policy on iran is being led by the same crew that led us into jc poa back in 2015. biden, blinken, sullivan and crew. it's the definition of insanity. it's the same old thing all over again. >> it looks to me if i can bring you back in here brett, it looks
6:22 pm
to me like this was a check the box moment. it looks to me like this was not a serious attempt at stopping the iranians. if it was a more serious attempt at stopping the iranians they would have gone after iranian refineries. that would have sent a message and would have done some reel damage and that would have hit them where it hurts. we will have an assessment. one person i can tell you that was not a check the box opponent when solo monie got hit on the tarmac by donald trump. he had no idea what was coming. there was no heads up. no warning. there was no time to escape, nothing. he died right there where he belonged to. to me, that sent a message. they took out the number one terrorist that had been killing troops in iraq and didn't hesitate doing it. that put them back on their heels. that they did not expect. why would the biden administration be giving them a heads up that this is coming and then target the low hanging fruit not within iran but iraq
6:23 pm
and syria? >> exactly. let me get this straight. iran murders american soldiers and then we decide to just bomb syria and iraq instead. how does that make any sense? they keep getting away with it. they don't regret hurting americans for one second and they will continue to do so. how many more soldiers need to die before we do something effective to stop this before it happens again? i hope the strikes are the start of an actual cohesive strategy and campaign to stop the terror that is the proxy groups. i doubt it will become anything more than pr talking points for the administration to overstate the scope and effectiveness in dealing with this problem. even with today's strikes they have been telegraphing our military response to the world. iran's media is already claiming that all the targets the u.s. struck. empty before they took place. this administration has done back channeling directly with iran before hand only
6:24 pm
legitimizes their long-term strategy. we even apparently informed the iraqi government before the strike took place. who do you think iraq will call first after receiving the message? they are completely infiltrated at the highest levels of parliament. do you know how many american veterans right now of the iraq and of agonist and war are missing limbs or paralyzed because of iran and iranian made weapons? enough is enough. i fear more americans will die because of this administration's decisions. >> thank you. we have a lot more coming up tonight. the terrorist abandon bases in iraq and syria before tonight's airstrike. biden broadcasted what he was going to do. we know the answer. the question is why?ice we will explain straight ahead. missing teeth forever. it changes how you eat, how you feel, and how you enjoy life. it changes your smile and how others smile at you. clearchoice network doctors

6:29 pm
leading up to today's strikes against iran backed militants, joe biden and his administration spent the entire week pretty much leading the entire world know that their response was coming. on wednesday an iraqi official told cbs news that some of the islamic resistance that already evacuated the bases in iraq and syria. it's fair to ask, did they abandon their faces because joe telegraphed and broadcasted his entire plan to the entire world? what about the element of surprise? i maybe old-fashioned, but it works. joining us now is former cia station chief dan hoffman, former pentagon official elbridge colby. dan, it makes no sense to me to telegraph it. it doesn't make sense to me to go after targets of proxy when you know that the head of the snake is over here. i don't think iran really cares what happens inside of iraq and
6:30 pm
syria at all. i think they feel like they will have plenty of other proxies to do their bidding for them unless they are impacted by it. i think that to them it's just another day. >> yeah. i think what we saw here was the biden administration seeking just to avoid any escalation. they put a premium on that as opposed to reestablishing exhalation dominance, deterrence over iran. the one point i would make is a little bit of annoyance. i'm not so sure it matters where we launch the strikes. it could be in iran or outside of iran. the trump administration killed soleimani and the deputy head of iran's proxy militants at the baghdad international airport. >> but let me interrupt you. there was one big difference and that was the element of surprise existed. there is no element of surprise here. >> absolutely.
6:31 pm
i am getting to that. i totally agree with you. there is no reason to telegraph what we are doing before hand. also we shouldn't be taking potential strikes off the table. we should never have said we wouldn't strike in iran. while at the iranians believe we won't do that? this could be a center or a tactical success but it's not going to alter iran's strategic calculus about carrying on the proxy war against the united states. >> we've had nearly 200 attacks against u.s. soldiers in iraq and syria. that's an awful lot of attacks. they had one response. they made a big deal about it and it turned out they had two empty warehouses. we heard that great britain rebels. it was hoped that this would be impactful. it turns out the houthi were emboldened because they didn't have an impacts. they got even more aggressive to
6:32 pm
u.s. flagships in the region. it seems to me the strategy is starting with appeasement and bribing iran. that didn't work. now being nice and saying we will hit all the proxies. don't make us hate you. we really don't want to be in conflict with you. that policy seems to have failed dramatically. i don't think this will make a difference tonight. i hope i am wrong. i'd like to see the iranians stopped. but i don't see it. >> you start from the right point of few which is we don't want a major war in the middle east. we have been there for a long time and had a bad experience in a lot of ways. we have bigger problems in china. the way you avoid a war is not by just pleading and losing the element of surprise. i put in the same category being very calculable. the biden administration is bending over backwards to make the moves as predictable and can findable as possible so the iranians would be crazy not to think they can get away with more. they are doing the wrong
6:33 pm
combination. instead what we need is a combination of what you have been talking about and others like tom cotton which is sometimes you need to hit hard. henry kissinger wrote about this famously in 1973. sometimes if you want something to end you need to hit hard and not do this gradual escalation like we've seen in ukraine and vietnam and so forth. at the same time its important to take a step back and look at the situation and say to ourselves what benefit are we as a nation in particular our servicemen and women getting for the exposure to be out there? what are they doing in places like iraq and syria. trump tried to withdraw and that makes sense at least to realign and rationalize. we are not living in a war of 20 years ago. michael waltz had a great tweet saying if we get into a long campaign our stockpiles are depleted and we need them. we were just up for the pay calm commander and he said 2027 the chinese might move before that. we are not as ready as we should be. we've got to look at this
6:34 pm
together. if you look at it in this way you say just kind of boiling the frog and asking the iranians and letting them off the hook saying they are not responsible for proxies. that's not smart. but also saying let's leave our forces all over the place. mark montgomery a former retired admiral said we don't have enough air defense. let's be smart and not leave them deep in indian country. we do have important interest there. but at the same time be firm. >> to me, the issue is they've had almost 200 attacks against american soldiers. here's the question that should have been asked. what is the proportional response? i happen to be may be a little too old-school and too trained in mixed martial arts. i'm just a believer if somebody hits you, you hit them back 10 times harder. can we say this is proportional to the killing of u.s. troops? i don't really see this
6:35 pm
impacting the iranians at all, actually. >> well it was after one u.s. contractor had been killed in baghdad that the trump administration decided to target the head of the irgc soleimani. look at the result of that was. there was no wider war. iran did not respond by targeting us all over the globe and in our own country. we real established escalation dominance by striking them hard. we didn't have to target a number of sites. we just took out the leader of the irgc. going back to the beirut embassy bombing and the marine barracks bombings 40 years ago, that's the irgc. they plan those terrorist attacks against us and have been doing it for 40 years. we've never held iran accountable. only rarely. when we don't, this is the result. >> well said. thank you. when we come back, big news out of georgia.

shocking developments in trump's georgia case tonight. the special prosecutor hired by the dea in fulton county, fani willis admits that he and ms. willis have developed a, quote, "personal relationship and they have even paid for each other's travel with, quote, " personal funds. willis says this is not a
6:41 pm
conflict of interest and claims that it has not prejudged trump's case. she reportedly is refusing to recuse herself. that's not all. today she was hit with a subpoena from the house judiciary committee chair jim jordan. they have launched an investigation into her potential misuse of federal funds. here with the reaction is gregg jarrett, harvard law professor alan dershowitz. good to see you both. greg, we start with you. my understanding is now that they have confirmed of this relationship, not the biggest surprise in the world, she paid a guy that according to everything i have read is not particularly experienced in criminal law like this. a guy that was paid more than people that had more experience. a whopping $654,000. she benefited because she got to take extravagant vacations and trips up to the white house to do god knows what with god knows who on biden's team. i don't know.
6:42 pm
was this case falling apart? >> it is falling apart. willis finally after four weeks had to fess up and tell the truth. she couldn't keep blaming it on racism because the evidence of her unethical behavior was well documented. she should be disqualified from this prosecution. she had a personal financial interest in the case and a severe conflict of interest with her subordinate lover and the appearance of impropriety and real impropriety. this prosecution is now so tainted that the judge should remove it entirely from the da's office. if that happens i suspect fresh eyes would see this for what it is, a legally unsound indictment that perverts the racketeering laws. the fact that the boyfriend travels to washington for 28 hour meetings at the white house. that shows these charges against trump or politically driven.
6:43 pm
now there is a federal investigation for misusing public funds, firing of a whistleblower and two georgia investigations examining how she and wade personally profited and how they used covid money to bring the case. they failed to obtain permission from the county for the cash she was doling out to her lover. wade apparently took actions including indictments before he was ever sworn in. this scheme of theirs smacks of misappropriation of public funds on a services fraud. willis could be removed from office. she could face criminal charges. >> professor, let's get your take on this. with all the plea deals leading up to this in this case, nobody was pleading guilty to any racketeering charge or rico charge. which makes one wonder why that statute was pursued in the first place. not usually used in a case like this. let's get your take. what impact will this have on
6:44 pm
this particular case, these indictments and what about the plea agreements? >> i taught legal ethics for 30 years. this is a classic case of conflict of interest by her own standards. she said when she was running for office that you should not have a personal relationship with your subordinates. she is supposed to supervise the subordinate. is she in a position to supervise him when they have become lovers? moreover why should we believe the affidavit and the statement saying that their relationship started only after he was hired? relationships don't operate that way. this is not a sum enchanted evening moment. this is a developing relationship over time. they started as friends which happened before he was hired than developed into a relationship. we need a timeline. these affidavits cry out for cross-examination. i would love to cross examine both of the people and find out exactly what happens. when did the payments start?
6:45 pm
i'd like to see all the bills and find out everything. the most important thing is that a defendant is entitled to a conflict free prosecution in which the chief prosecutor has supervisory power over subordinates which are supposed to be exercised in a neutral, objective way. that would seem impossible under these circumstances. the appearance of justice playing right into the hands of those who believe that this is another get trump moment and another attempt to try to prevent president trump, former president trump, from becoming future president trump. this is political and she made a dreadful mistake by allowing the appearance of injustice to have such an impact on so many americans who will have no faith in the outcome of this case as long as she and he are continuing to be involved in that. >> well said, professor and gregg jarrett. this case is in deep trouble as of right now. we will see what unfolds. when we come back a shocking
