That the United States could be pulled into a new regional war involving iran as Tension Escalate throughout middle east. Uss eisenhower set to operate in water near iran for First Time Since 2021. U. S. Reportedly planning Mass Evacuation from israel and lebanon if the conflict expands and pentagon warns it will hold iran responsible for attacks on u. S. Troops, on the heels of a Ground Invasion of the gaza strip. This is outnumbered, im Kayleigh Mcenany here with my cohost Harris Faulkner and emily compagno. Joining us former state department spokesperson, Morgan Ortagus, and army veteran, former n. F. L. Player and host of Jake Bequette podcast, Jake Bequette. House Foreign Affairs committee set to receive a classified briefing on iran in just hours, as iranbacked Militia Groups are Planning Attack in the middle east Stocking Fears well be dragged into an armed conflict. Scary thought. We have seen Drone Attacks in iraq and syria and fox news has been told there is threat of escalation on u. S. Forces and personnel and secretary of state blinken said further action will be met with decisive action. If iran or its proxies attack u. S. Personnel anywhere, make no mistake, we will defend our people, defend our security swiftly and decisively. To all members of this council, if you, like the United States want to prevent conflict from spreading tell iran, tell its proxies, in public, in private, through every means, do not open another front on this conflict, do not attack israels partners. We urge members to go a step further. Make clear if iran or proxies widen this conflict and put more civilians at risk, you, you will hold them accountable. Act as if security and stability of the entire region and beyond is on the line because it is. Kayleigh those are the most extensive remarks weve heard on iran from them thus far. Bring in keith kellogg, Fox News Contributor and former National Security advisor to former president mike pence. General kellogg, it struck me, those are the most extensive remarks about iran. I asked for the times biden has mentioned iran and i could find four mention from iran from the president. Lets play two of those. President biden well, look, thanks for having me today kayleigh one moment, control, Lite Play Two remarks from President Biden. President biden iran is supporting russia in ukraine and it is supporting hamas and other Terrorist Groups in the region and well continue to hold them accountable. Moved to the Eastern Mediterranean and sending fighter jets and made it clear, made it clear to the iranians, be careful. There is limited fighting on northern Israeli Border and i wonder what is your message to hezbollah and its backer iran. Dont, donts dont. Kayleigh i want said to play the remarks for you, it is astonishing that is all weve heard from the president. President trump might have had different words, what do you think he would have said . Look, messaging is important and you know that, kayleigh. Go back to what the president of the United States, donald trump said in his State Of The Union address, very clear. You can pull it out. If you attack an american, your life is forfeit, clear, simple, to the point. Not kill. If you attack. You have to have consistency and you know that from being in the white house. Have your message, be concise and consistent and say it over and over and over again. When that happens, you follow it up with force if need be, that is how you send the message, you dont have dont, well think about it, dont, maybe. No, has to be clear. Only seven or eight people that people listen to, like a giant funnel, you put words, National School advisor, president of the United States or Vice President or the spokesman, whoever is out there, only a few, listen to what they say. Our message has been inconsistent, you are not sure, do they mean what they say and is it forceful enough message . Clear, concise to the point has not been there, i have not seen it. Kayleigh i believe in cause and effect, that is how life works. General kellogg, i will put up a cause and see what you think about the effect. New york times headline, biden reverses trump Terror Designation for houthis in yemen, we know iran backs houthis, okay. Cause. Effect . Bring up headline, u. S. Destroyer shoots down missile potentially heading toward israel, missiles were fired by iranebacked houthis. Have they been emboldened . Look, absolutely. We make, you see comments like that, what was our response with houthi fired missiles at our ship . Nothing. That is when you respond forcefully, send a message and use kinetics or force and you have to do it. The whole world and you know this, kayleigh, the whole world is watching. Push back a lgs, tone talk about it, dont make hard action, you have to do that and be very consistent in your actions. If you do something, well respond, if you dont, how far can i push you . Ive been in situations and so have you in the oval office or in the Situation Room and know they are testing you and testing the United States today and look what we say, comments about evacuating citizen from israel. No, you stay there. Talk about evacuating embassies, no, you stay there. Dont retreat, you reinforce an embassy. These are symbols and action that everybody is looking for. Does the United States need this . Word and actions combined and they are not doing it. It is showing weakness and need to respond forcefully. What they say and reaction to it. You have to sometimes, i hate to say, put it this way, punch the other guy in the nose to get their attention, that is what mike tyson used to say. Kayleigh i think that is rights, you cant operate from position of fear. This stuck out from axios, never before has axios talked to so many Government Officials who in private are worried about overseas conflicts, officials tell us inside the white house, this was heaviest most chilling week since biden took office. Do you worry about the posture of the white house . That seems like a place of fear. This is, even bob gates, former cia director, this is worst hes seen the world in the last 75 years and they compound thementz themselves. This is like juggling balls, you add another and another, how do you attack that . Attack the first that comes up diplomatically and by force to stop from escalating or more actions occur and you are seeing that occur. With china and taiwan, you have north korea, ukraine and russia, you have what is happening in the middle east and you can only handle so many effectively. Again, kayleigh, you have been in the Situation Room, if they come at you and compound themselves, only so many hours in a day to respond effectively. Old western saying cut them off at the path, attack early and diplomatically and they are not doing this. This could spin out of control easy if they dont watch out. Kayleigh no doubt, General Kellogg, thank you. Harris, axios asked a good question, you know who is watching . China and thinking about taiwan. Harris after the weekend, everybody is on alert in the region, china could be on the move, we dont know what is next, pretty easy to guess. I had on senator sullivan who visited israel and he said something chilling. Ive been asking how more weaponry is on the ground in the hands, jake in particular, you would know this, in yemen with houthis. How is everybody getting weapons like overnight . You know what it was . A week ago tomorrow, that the u. N. Sanctions expired because we didnt fight. Senator sullivan said we could have pressed back and pressed u. N. To release those and ease sanctions, we dont have any credibility. I dont know if they would have listened. We could have replaced with our own sanctions, do we have fire in the belly to do that . I will say no, if we did, we would not be caught off. Like your baby wakes up from a nap, they are groggy, that is biden on all issues, we are not leading. We are not even leading from behind. We have not gotten out of the crib yet. This is dangerous, we have Men And Women deployed around the world, they are targets and now these men will be armed more than in years because of iran sanctions on ballistics is gone, drones, missiles, anything they want their hands on and you can bet there is software to help on presigsz, anybody on the sideline for that . Who knows, their Relationship Building has been iran met with everybody, they even talked to saudi arabia for 45 minutes on the home when hamas invaded citizens like the evil they are. Kayleigh exactly, cause and effect. Morgan, you have been in the Situation Room and quote that vividly stood out was secretary bob gates said, there is a funnel at the top of the Situation Room, you have seen that table. You have issues and conflicts coming through, they are going to the same eight or 10 people. Morgan those eight or 10 people are responsible for disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan and nobody has been held accountable, when you dont hold your National Security team accountable and nobody is fireed and nobody has dignity to resign after we lose 13 brave Men And Women in afghanistan, it has continued effect. The same people that oversaw that disastrous withdrawal, same people that thought putin would not invade ukraine, that did not work. We are still in that war. Same people ignored warning myself, mike pompeo and other former Trump Administration officials have been saying for three years, this is the wrong policy on iran. And so it is funny the administration and axios quote you read, comical they are waking up and scared about the world, we saw this a year into the administration, within three months of Biden Administration after we handed them abraham ac accord, and kabul had fallen to taliban and russia invaded ukraine, that is just year one of biden presidency. I knew the next three years would not be better. Im worried about what will happen after the taiwanese elections in january, if you were xi jinping, would you wait for President Trump to come back . Kayleigh great question, it comes as xi and putin are coordinating middle east strategy, china and russia. Emily they enjoyed a meeting while biden was in israel and they said it is strengthening their relationship. I want to comment on what General Kellogg was saying earlier. I want to remind everyone per secretary austins testimony, the u. S. Has only had four major responses to iranian backed attack on u. S. Forces out of 83. Then you take that against the backdrop of john kirby on cnn now acknowledging or potentially saying for first time there were direct contact with irgc, the revolutionary guard to conduct attack on troops. Is that then creating actual evidence that iran has been in direct contact with those proxies . Would that turn the tide of everything weve been hearing from this administration, including we dont see iran explicitly ordered this. Take that against the axios post saying administration despite public support for israel is deeply alarmed by the prospect of escalation and you put that against as well as jerry baker writes in wall street journal, our enemies are axis of evil, they dont see triumph, they see weakend and declining west and describe with accuracy how we are viewed by our enemies right now. All of that against this backdrop of dont, dont, ineffective, totally weak and the u. S. Our forces and allies. Kayleigh they keep doing it, dont is hardly tough enough for iran when we have troops in iraq and syria. Jake i deployed to iraq and we operated within mortar range. The difference, we knew in 2019, we had a commanderinchief who had our back, he meant business and they kept peace. They knew there would be hell to pay. Now they know with sleepy joe, he is weak and ineffective and they know they have him on the run and American Forces are on the retreat and enemies continue to escalate on many different theaters. Kayleigh and Worth Underscoring not a single american killed on President Trumps last year that watch because of tough words. Jake absolutely. Emily he made a red line and bidens red line is 40 americans killed, heartbreaking and do not forget the 13 in afghanistan. Breaking news to capitol hill. They are down to two candidates for House Speaker. House republicans have been holding closeddoor votes, no cameras allowed. They started the day with more than a dozen. And now to four last hour and now dwindled to two. House republicans are deciding in final round of Secret Ballot and final candidates are minnesota congressman and House Majority whip tom emmer and louisiana congressman mike johnson. There are growing concerns, as well, surrounding a rise in antisemitism and hate crime as israels war on hamas intensifies. Weve witnessed burning of israeli flags and protests all over the globe and beginning to see what they are seeing elsewhere in the cities of america. Iconic jewish deli in New York City has been repeated target of antisemitism graffiti including swastikas on the store front and calling for an uprising against israel as they march while chanting there is only one solution, and you know what that is, death for jews and anyone who supports them. White House Press SecretaryKarine Jeanpierre asked about rise in antisemitism yesterday. Just watch. What is this level of concern right now about potential rise of antisemitism in light of everything going on in israel . So couple of things. Look, we have not seen any credible threats, i know there is always questions about credible threats. So just want to make sure that is out there. Muslim and those perceived to be muslim have endured disproportionate number of hatefilled attack and President Biden understand muslim and arab neighbors are worried about hate being directed at their community. One thing the president has done directed homeland Security Team to prioritize prevention and disruption of emerging threat that could harm jewish, muslim or any other communities. Harris it doesnt get any clearer the more you watch it. We were asking, why did she feel the need to talk down antisemitism in america like it is not on the top of her list of things to focus on. Jake that is mind of the leftist, friend versus enemy. They know in the u. S. Are people who are antiisrael, prohamas, whatever it is, they dont see in terms of right and wrong, they see friend versus enemy, that is what we saw in the presser and why the left refuse to condemn outrageous attack against innocent men, Women And Children in the middle east. Goes to larger point, you saw henry kissinger, he admitted toward end of his life, maybe we shouldnt have let all these people into the United States. There were people 75 years ago telling you there was a mistake, we have millions, at least Tens Of Thousands who have that murderous mentality toward christians. Harris you think the number is that high . Jake absolutely, and they are waiting for a lever in election year, well see that violence in our streets. Harris what on the battle field would inform you how many could be here . Is that sort of transport to the United States, was that travel something you hear talked about among our enemies . Jake absolutely, i was in iraq and my friends encountered middle eastern terrorists at the border, they are here, just a matter of how many. Harris go back to capitol hill, House Republicans just decided their candidate for speaker. Republicans have chosen minnesota congressman and House Majority whip tom emmer as their third speaker designate since Kevin Mccarthy historic vacating the seat and hell now tom emmer, will now have to win Majority Vote on the house floor to secure the gavel. We started seven, eight people today, a name thrown into one of the later votes, austin scott came back and remember last week a lot of people, who is congressman austin scott . Everybody knows him now. He was cut out about an hour ago and dwindled to four and two. Tom emmer 117 votes, johnson, 97, now the category of others, Byron Donalds of florida had gotten 32 votes on last one last hour and one person voting present. Kayleigh, what is interesting about this, how quickly they got down to this and there were reports tom emmer might have had a donald trump problem, he wasnt quite there. How could that have made a
