for targeting american troops. is tehran getting the message? is the message from us strong enough as we say good morning. a big two hours coming your way. i'm bill hemmer in new york. >> dana: can you hear me now, iran? i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." we have a big show for you today. united states bombing a weapons warehouse in eastern syria last night. the second time the u.s. struck iranian proxies in the past two weeks. here is what john kirby said just this morning. >> we are sending a strong signal to the revolutionary guard corps and tehran. we'll do what we have to do to protect our troops and forces. >> bill: the strike was in response to a flurry of attacks on u.s. bases over the past 2 1/2 weeks. the bombings have injured more than 40 americans stationed overseas. sources say it is dumb luck that no one has been killed yet. >> dana: those attacks started after the bombing of a gaza hospital october 17th. israel denied responsibility for that deadly blast. u.s. intelligence agrees saying it was likely a palestinian misfire. >> bill: mike pompeo has reaction. mike tobin in southern israel. let's start at the pentagon with jennifer griffin to kick off your morning today. what do we know? >> after more than 41 attacks on u.s. bases and the downing of a u.s. drone over the red sea yesterday off the coast of yemen the u.s. military finally struck. this time a pair of american f-15 fighter jets bombed a weapons storage facility in eastern syria where iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps stores weapons used to target u.s. troops and bases. according to a military official what we blew up inside were bad things. it could have been rockets, drones, could have been artillery shells. certainly whatever it was is being used against our forces. u.s. officials may not rule out there may have been iranians at the facility and some may have been killed. a slightest calation. iran and its proxies did not stop attacks after the u.s. carried out a pair of air strikes in syria october 26th. defense officials said they ramped up the defense of the bases sending patriot missiles and other capabilities to u.s. bases in iraq and syria after 46 u.s. service members were injured with concussions and two cases of traumatic brain injury after an initial two days of strikes in mid october. a senior u.s. military official indicated there is a recovery effort for the m29 drone shot down over the red sea by houthis in yemen. a $32 million unmanned surveillance aircraft that uses cameras, sensors and radar to collect intelligence. the houthis have used surface to aramis ills relallsed the footage of the downing. pentagon is pressed over and over why it was not responding immediately to attacks on u.s. bases to send a stronger deterrent message. >> we don't necessarily have to be tit-for-tat every single time. we're strategic about when we decide to take kinetic action. >> the u.s. has not responded yet to the houthi downing of one of its prized drones. >> bill: more to come on this. leading our coverage at the pentagon. thanks. >> dana: let's get to mike tobin on the ground in southern israel this morning. hi, mike. >> there have been meetings in doha, qatar and the prime minister. the sub creaked of their discussion is a potential of a pause in fighting for as long as three days in exchange for hostage release. discussions could also involve some food, water, aid and even fuel going into the gaza strip. the israeli leadership has been unified with the message there will not be a cease-fire unless hostages are released. the offensive presses on and from that you get this very large and sad exodus of palestinians walking on foot from the northern end of the gaza strip to the south. you see images of donkey carts and people pushing wheelchairs. some 50,000 people made the march yesterday. 15,000, 5,002,000 sunday. they are left with lousy conditions. nowhere for them to stay and not a lot of availability of food. israel presses the invasion going house to house and street to street claiming to have found a weapons storage facility with drones and missiles right next to a little girl's bedroom and using it as an example of hamas using the civilian population as shields as this war goes on. the conflicts are not limited to gaza. west bank town eight palestinians were killed in a clash involving drone strikes and ground forces. 38 israeli soldiers have been killed since israeli forces went into gaza on the ground. dana. >> dana: mike tobin, thank you. >> bill: mike pompeo fox news contributor, former secretary of state. let's talk about this hit on a warehouse in eastern syria. admiral kirby from the white house yesterday called it a strong signal directed at iran. do you strong signal. a hit at night with no one there? >> my experience is this is anything but a strong response. you lay it against the context of 40 plus strikes that were attacking american soldiers and civilians inside these countries and we go after a munitions dump. put that against the context of trying to restrain the israelis, making every excuse for iran refusing to say it was iran that killed 1400 people. that combination of things is sending a message to tehran the green light is still on and we will not have achieved deterrents. i hope i'm wrong. i hope they cease their actions. you saw what happened with the houthis. the group in yemen that this administration said no, the aren't terrorists. those non-terrorists took down a $30 million american aircraft. how about announcing today turns out the trump administration was right. the houthis are terrorists. part of the iranian effort to undermine the nation of israel and america. >> dana: in trying to look at this from all sides and wondering what the biden administration is thinking, is there prudence in trying to take this a little more slowly so that there is not a full scale escalation that we might not be ready for? >> dana, of course the effort is -- the goal is exactly that. de-escalate and deter. but we've lost the handle on that, dana. i lived this, too. we had artillery being fired at in baghdad and tried to deter the iranians. in the end we had to take a serious response. took out the number two official, general soleimani, we reestablished the deterrence we lost. when you get deterrence it is only for a time. it will require a much more serious concerted effort. not just a kinetic effort but diplomatic, economic. today they'll ship 3 million barrels of crude oil and receive cash today as we sit here. these are the kind of things the iranian regime laughs and said we can continue to go after americans and israelis, the united states is not prepared to do its part in deterring our aggression by imposing costs not on some knucklehead in the desert in iraq but on the regime itself. >> bill: what's happening in gaza. you may be aware the u.s., israel, qatar are talking about a pause in fighting. do you welcome that and also there have been various reports over the past 24 hours a hostage deal for a handful, 50 out of potentially 241 if they're all alive. would you encourage a pause in fighting to get aid in there or do you simply not trust hamas enough to be a fair broker on the hostages and be a fair broker when the aid comes in? >> bill, there is no chance hamas will be fair about anything. they are liars, terrorists and barbarians. i met with some families yesterday morning in washington, d.c. it is heartbreaking to hear their stories. we need to do everything we can to get them back. if it's the case redirecting fires for a few hours or a short pause in the attacks would actually deliver some of these men and women back to their families, sign me up. but a three-day pause with no promise of what you are going to get from these guys who will lie to your face would play into the playbook. the reason they have 240 some odd hostages is precisely so they can get the whole world to stop responding to the barbaric attack. i'm convinced the pressure the israeli defense forces are putting on the hamas warriors today, those terrorists hiding in tunnels and taking all the food and fuel from the very civilians that need it, i'm convinced the pressure on them is the thing that's causing them to even contemplate releasing those hostages. israelis should stay at it. >> dana: i wanted to ask you one quick thing. yesterday the spy agency, israel's spy agency issued a rare public knowledgement they worked in cooperation with the brazilian security services to thwart a terror attack in brazil that was planned by hezbollah. the reason i want to ask you about this is to get your perspective on how this is a worldwide issue. and that iran's influence in latin america and south america in particular is growing. it is something we should be paying attention to? >> dana, i think we spoke about this two weeks ago now. the risks not just in israel or gulf is very real. you are right about south america. i went to a synagogue that had been blown up when i traveled to south america. blown up by the same cast of characters. they have had opations in the united states as well where they sought to blow up government officials here. we should all know that the fact that we have a wide open southern border today where hundreds of thousands of people are coming across the border creates an enormous risk there is something plotted for months or a couple of years and i hope our f.b.i. is on top of this and has a handle on it. the risk of taking down some in brazil doesn't surprise me. good work is going on. i hope that we're ahead of the game and we can prevent this from happening but i'm very concerned we could see something here in the united states of america or someplace in europe as well. >> bill: come back soon. mike pompeo, thank you for your time. >> thank you, have a great weekend. >> dana: colleges across the nation are under pressure to address rising anti-semitism on campus and threats of violence. the feds have to get involved. we have more. >> good morning. one session is just beginning now examining how colleges and government can protect students after these repeated anti-semitic incidents on campuses. senator bill cassidy from the senate health committee has jurisdiction over education cite cicite -- colleges are reporting several incidents to congress. >> since october 7th this has skyrocketed. we hear continually of jewish students being assaulted. jewish property being vandalized and students harassed in any number of ways not just on a few college campuses that one might describe as hot spots. >> this week the department of education reminded schools they are legally obligated to protect students from discrimination. in a letter to schools education secretary said the rise of reports of hate incidents on our college campuses in the wake of israeli/hamas conflict is deeply traumatic for students and should be alarming to all americans. anti-semitism, islamaphobia and other forms of hatred go against everything we stand for as a nation. cardona has threatened to withhold federal funding if schools fail to act. republicans on the health committee organized the round table urging committee chair bernie sanders to hold a full hearing on anti-semitism. sanders requested a classified briefing with the f.b.i. on rising incidents of anti-semitism, islamaphobia and racism at schools across the country. dana. >> dana: rich edson. thank you. yesterday we heard some extremely compelling testimony on capitol hill about the rise in anti-semitism happening on college campuses across the country. one university of iowa student who detailed the vitriol she has experienced firsthand. >> i was doxed in a group chat of over 800 students and falsely labeled as a nazi, a token, a white supremacist and bigot. some individuals said i made them uncomfortable and feared i might commit a hate crime against them. >> that student is jasmine jordan. she joins us live next hour. >> do you want a leader from a different generation who will put this country first or do you want dick cheney in three inch heels? we have two of them on stage tonight. >> i would like to say they're five inch heels and i don't wear them unless you can run in them. >> bill: nikki haley fending off pointed attacks last night. the former governor will join us live and where the race goes from here. stay tuned for that. >> dana: house republicans issuing subpoenas for hunter biden and several other members of the president's family. are they expected to comply? >> bill: israel hunting hamas in the streets of gaza. a narrowing in on central gaza city. a lot of calls for a time-out. is that smart for israel or does it only enhance hamas? so many hotels...

>> you know, it's just this is a serious time in our country and not the time that you need to have these personal hits. my daughter is 25 years old. we've got big issues happening in the world. we have threats facing us around at the united states and our friends and we have to take that seriously. look, it was even though it was a personal shot and it was a shot that wasn't necessary, i think the bigger point is there are big differences between me and ramaswamy. he doesn't think we should be helping israel. he thinks that we should let putin have ukraine. he is fine with using taiwan until we have all the chips we need and then he will give it out. you look at ron desantis. he says that ukraine is a territorial dispute. we have real issues on that debate stage that differentiate us and that's what i wanted to talk about. he threw a petty shot there. it says more about him than it does about me. >> bill: not to continue on the personal but the microphone caught the words. we heard you say you are scum. do you want to continue with that today? do you feel the same way? >> i mean, bill, that was showing a lot of restraint, that's all i'll say. it was showing a lot of restraint. >> bill: okay. down the road last night at around the same time donald trump said this about you. >> you know, i will never run against him. he is a great president. i will never ever run against him said bird brain. i will not run against him. he was one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country and then three months later she goes i have decided to run. this is the craziest business, politics. >> bill: he invoked your name as he say and wanted to give you a chance to respond to that. how is your relationship today with the former president? >> you know, i have said often i think he was a right president at the right time. i agree with a lot of his policies. yes, i said i wouldn't run against him but it was before we had the fall in afghanistan, before we saw inflation go through the roof. it was before we lost the mid-terms. and so look, this is what i will tell you. 3/4 of the country, 75% of the country said they don't want to see a rematch between biden and trump. the country deserves better than a president in their 80s and trump and biden would give us that. it is time for a new generation of leaders. if you look at the polls, i crush joe biden in every single poll. that's what republicans need to focus on is yes we'll talk about a primary but at the end of the day we need to have someone at the top of the ticket that wins governors races and congressional races that allows us to really get our country back on track. that's what i'm trying to do. look, trump can say whatever he wants but at the end of the day he knows that his age is the same as biden's but he also knows he got us into a lot of trouble. look at the $8 trillion that happened on his watch. look at the fact that he is retreating and getting weak in the knees on foreign policy when it comes to helping our friends. look at the fact that when our closest ally, israel, got hit, what did he do? he went and talked about hezbollah being smart and he said had personal vendettas with prime minister netanyahu. these are big issues and we cannot win the issues and fights of the 21st century if we continue to use politicians of the 20th century. the time is now to change. the time is now for people to realize we have a country to save. our kids are counting on us. it is time to leave this baggage and negativity behind us and move forward to be strong and proud. we can do this. it will take everybody saying okay, let's move forward and quit looking at the headlines of the past. >> dana: you mentioned the polls. "the new york times" poll showed biden losing to president trump in five out of six states. pull that up. but also you mentioned that you in that same poll beat biden in those states, too. we'll put those back up there. call for number four in the des moines register poll in iowa. trump at 43, desantis 16, you at 16. we are getting much more close. two months away from the first votes being cast in iowa. what is your strategy to see if you can change this dynamic? president trump's lead is commanding and it seems to be enduring and in some cases even increasing. >> you know, everybody is continuing to talk about his lead. well, i'll tell you when i got into this race everybody was talking about all the other leads. it is slow and steady wins the race. we're now surging, second in iowa, second in new hampshire, second in south carolina and we have one more fellow to go after we'll do it. if you look at the record alone, how are we going to deal with debt when we have a president who was allowing congress to spend like drunken sailors? how to keep our world safe when you have got a president who is going and con great rating the chinese communist party or saying he is friends with north korea. you can't do that when you have someone taking seriously the fact we have real issues going forward. he was good on china with trade. what did he do about fentanyl? nothing. allowing them to buy our u.s. soil, nothing? stealing intellectual property, nothing. he fought against our national security council in wanting to give china more technology that only threatened america. these are serious issues. we'll take it to him. i want my family to be safe and everybody's family to be safe and we can't do it if we keep going back to the same old thing. >> bill: sounds like a good debate. don't know if it will happen or not. we asked you about the personal in the beginning. let's ask you about politics quickly here. iranian proxies have hit our forces more than 40 times in almost three weeks. what would you do to iran as president in return? >> first of all, my husband is deployed right now. he is in a base not far from that area. it is infuriating that our military men and women are having to deal with this. it's so wrong on every level. 100 strikes since biden took office. let me tell you, this is in response to the fall in afghanistan. this is in response to him falling all over himself to get back into the iran deal. the way to deal with that is you completely go and slam the infrastructure where the strikes are taking place. eliminate their ability to do any strikes to our men and women and let them know there will be hell to pay if they hurt an american soldier. we already have so many injuries. a president is supposed to keep his men and women safe. how is joe biden keeping them safe when you've got our military members being hit, you've got our border that's being open? he has totally been absent. we can't allow this to continue. we have too many american lives at stake and they are more dangerous under joe biden. >> dana: nikki haley. thank you for getting up this morning after your debate and joining us. there are a lot of problems to solve. >> bill: thank you. >> thanks. >> bill: calls for a cease-fire in the middle east reaching the steps of the u.s. capitol. these are congressional staffers, more than 100 of them holding a vigil at the heart of our government. we'll tell you what that's all about in a moment. suspected human smuggler leading police on a high-speed chase near the border. the results yet again are deadly. >> under joe biden, we are less safe on our border, abroad, and here at home. it is open season for drug cartels, for human traffickers, and to your point, terrorists. are you a veteran, own a home and need money for your family? newday usa can help. veterans have earned a lot of va benefits with their service, but the va home loan benefit is a big one. by using your benefit at newday you can borrow up to 100% of your home's value and take out an average of $70,000. use that money to pay off high rate debt and get back on your feet financially. the ergo smart base from tempur-pedic automatically responds to snoring. so, no more hiding under your pillow. because this system actually detects snoring then adjusts to help reduce it. for a limited time, save up to $500 on select tempur-pedic adjustable mattress sets.

>> well, certainly that was not the appropriate response. immediately following the bombing of an empty warehouse in the middle of the letter austin apologizeed for doing so. the biden administration is weakness around the world and the world is a more dangerous place because of it. people have to understand if you harm an american citizen anywhere you are a dead man walking. it's that simple. we have to show everybody especially iran, that we will not be trifled with. their policies are making the world more dangerous and we need peace through strength. >> bill: "new york times" had an interview with a senior member of hamas and as you look at the skyline of gaza with the smoke trailing through the distance there it will be sundown very soon. we have been watching this image. he is in qatar. he gave an interview. a number of things in here. behind hamas's bloody gamut. he said a lot. hamas's goal is not to run gaza and bring it water and electricity. this battle was not because we wanted fuel or laborers. it did not seek to improve the situation in gaza. this battle is to completely overthrow the situation. he is talking about making sure that the palestinian cause would not die, but if the objective is not to help your own people. they have been charged with governing for 17 years. >> bill, listen. what it is a call for the genocide of the jewish people from the river to the sea means eradicating the jewish people from the jordan river to the mediterranean sea. that's an active call for genocide. unfortunately the biden administration has chosen to spend $1 hundred million people to those terrorists who slaughtered over 1400 israelis on october 7th and going to the sites of these massacres and at the peace festival was a life changing experience for me. we have to understand everything that is taking place in gaza right now, every man and child being killed and every piece of inextra structure and building destroyed is a direct result of hamas's invasion of israel on october 7th. they bear all of the responsibility for all of the horrible things taking place in gaza, period. when people are trying to equivocate what the israelis are doing in gaza, trying to eradicate the terrorist organization of hamas with what hamas did to the israeli civilians that they targeted intentionally is absolutely not helpful for peace. >> bill: one last question here. we have a picture yesterday on the steps of the capitol. about 100 staffers, congressional staffers, free country, free speech. they are all wearing masks in front of the camera. were you table see this yesterday? and do you have a reaction to it? >> here are my thoughts. the staff should never be the story. the staff's name is not on the door. he was elected by 750,000 people in wisconsin to represent them. those folks of staff have the right of free speech but must understand they don't write and dictate policy. the elected representatives, my democrat colleagues and i, are chartered to write poll syracuse our staff is not. i have a tremendous amount of respect for my democrat and republican colleagues elected to this office to make sure that we can write effective policy to make the world and the country first and foremost a better place. these folks it is inappropriate for staff to be doing that. >> bill: thank you for your time. the republican from wisconsin. we'll speak again. >> we will, thank you. >> i think we're at the point now where we can connect the dots. we understand what the scheme was. we understand who the people were who were wiring the money. >> dana: house oversight chair james comer subpoenas members of the biden family. what happens next?

significant? >> it is significant. in fact, i think this changes the entire profile of this controversy. the house has been going after the bidens in a very methodical and systematic way. they started with the banks, they followed the money, they started to subpoena associates and now that circle has closed tightly around the biden family. the thing to remember, dana, is that the biden family has been accused of influence peddling for decades. this is a family business. james, frank, hunter biden, have few discernible skills to sell but they could sell access. many of us believe that they did. and up until now, they have relied on delay and denial. they are now going to have to choose between cooperation and contempt because merrick garland went aggressively after trump associates who failed to cooperate with congress, who failed to appear. he sort of set that standard. and the expectation will be that he should be equally aggressive in pursuing any of these individuals who refuse to cooperate. >> bill: we'll see who testifies. maybe they go. court resumes in eight minutes in lower manhattan, the trump civil matter here. i was looking at the avenue for appeal because the judge has already made up his mind, right? based on the law, they gave the case to a singular judge. the a.g. james has been in court every day. upon appeal, eventually you are going to go to what i think is the appellate division first judicial department in the state of new york. i look at this list. i think there are 18 justices on this panel. i think 17 of them are democrats. and at every level that you move through the appellate process in the state of new york, you bump into democrats each time. some elected, some appointed by the governor. did letitia james find a way to corner donald trump in this case? >> i don't think it was particularly difficult to corner trump. i think this is a canned hunt. james ran on the promise to ban trump for anything and using a new york law, which is virtually unique. this new york law doesn't require anyone to lose money. it doesn't require any victims. the banks did not complain about these arrangements. they didn't lose any money. but the new york law allows her, nevertheless, to seek huge amounts of damages from trump, even bar him from doing business in new york. i have looked and can't find any case that comes close to anything like this. but the chances that she could succeed are real. the law itself offers very little in terms of protection from this type of action. moreover, new yorkers seem to like this type of performtive prosecution. they elected james. they are thrilled that she is hammering the trump family. look, we can agree it does seem to me the things were overvalued. that's not uncommon in the new york real estate business but that's the subject of a fine, not this nuclear option where you will say we'll basically hit you with hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and bar you from doing business in new york. >> bill: to be continued. >> dana: thank you, jonathan. we appreciate your time. >> bill: thank you, professor.
