threatening to retaliate for something the houthis started? because the houthis much like hezbollah and hamas they are all iranian proxy forces. but what the iranians did, they put a ship into the red sea era. it s an intelligence gathering ship they are providing terminal guidance for houthis attacks. this is one of the ways we can send a message to iran if these attacks continue that ship is sunk we need to say that very clearly to them. the iranians are just picking at it we need to note this administration will not go hard on the iranians they should but they won t. so what you have to do is fall back and say okay if you re not going to do that then what should you do? part is that is take out their proxies, the houthis there s military strength to do it you don t have any other option in that ship which is in fact an intelligence gathering ship there was one before that the
now a fox news military analyst. general kellogg let s start here. if iran and the u.s. do not want a direct full on war but iran can t or won t control the houthis is a wider war eminence? or is there a way to avoid that? fail, first, thanks for having me today. you cannot prevent or exclude a potential war from happening because those mistakes can happen i will tell you when you look with the houthis you sit back and your rocking chair because this thing has got legs it s going to go on a lot longer. i think what happened the other date with a rather large strike was good. i think what they are doing the first indications are we need to have persistent strikes day after day after day after day after day sort of white like what houthis was doing with the shipping going the red sea into the suez canal that is what you re going to have to do with the houthis they are not going to understand anything but
really see whether or not the narrative that nikki haley has started to build really puts a dent in the lead that donald trump has been. and finally vivek ramaswamy has been all over the state saying he has had more at town halls he has been doing 10 meetings a day at least and more. do you think he could pop in surprise some people? even if he comes in third let s say. yes an odd candidate and an odd candidacy trailing far behind in the polls right now again polls can be wrong. but right now it does not look like he is going to amount all right we will see monday nights. cold but man it could be hot inside some of those rooms we will see. john bussey always good to see you thanks. may 5 eric, thank you for the u.s. today striking a radar site and at yemen that is controlled by houthis rebels for this the
force. you do not have diplomatic abilities or talk to them even though we have pulled back on saying their terrorist organization, they are but we do not have an ability economically to hit them we do not have diplomatically hit them. this is where we have to work with a run we can do it with the military might. we have an enormous amount of the military might and capacity and capability. i was president i wo was okay yu don t want to go full up with them you clearly do not want to go full up with iran you have to be very persistent about it it s day after day after day and they ve got the ability to do if they want to but this is not going to end tomorrow or the day after tomorrow it s going to end probably in a few weeks when the houthis get tired of shooting or do not have an ability to shoot. arthel: first of all you did hyour president biden say this week that the houthis are infected terrorists. my question right now, why is iran, by way of proxy
the sea nationstate is iran but we do not want to go hard against them so we are going to have to go a different route and basically try to contain at the best we can. the direct influence they have gotten with the houthis is it we had to ch attack in the near te. primarily this administration would not have done anything until the major fleets of the world sink the mediterranean shipping they started pulling the ships out of the red sea and send them around the cape of good hope around southern africa that is increase the time of commercial shipping by almost two weeks it increases shipping number times of containers to double the price. this is one of the things they had to do. i will say just looking at the dna of this administration they have to take precipitous action against iran we have to do with that in the short term, the near term in these persistent strikes i think are going to continue
