Houthis claim strikes on two oil tankers

>> President Trump: WE'RE. LIKEWISE WINNING IN THE ISLAMIC. REPUBLIC OF IRAN AND WE'RE. INSURING THAT THEY WILL NEVER, EVER BE ABLE TO DO TO US WHAT. THEY HAVE DONE TO SO MANY. THIS IS THIS SKIRMISH WE HAVE. WITH THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF. IRAN. I CALL IT THAT. THEY ARE GETTING HIT SO HARD. THEY WANT TO MAKE A DEAL. >> Bill: THAT FROM GEORGIA.

YESTERDAY WHERE THE PRESIDENT. STOPPED HERE. CENTCOM VIDEO RELEASED JUST. YESTERDAY ABOUT MULTIPLE TARGETS. ON THE GROUND IN IRAN. WE NOW KNOW FOR 12 STATE NIGHTS. NOW THE TARGETS HAVE BEEN HIT. THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY PRIMARILY. ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF IRAN. TAKE YOU TO THE MAP. REMEMBER STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS. SOMETHING WE'RE VERY FOCUSED ON. AND AS WE HAVE SHOWN YOU DAY. AFTER DAY NOW, MANY HITS RIGHT. NOW ON MARITIME ASSETS AND. PERHAPS DRONES, MISSILE.

LOCATIONS THAT COULD FIRE ON. THESE VESSELS TRAVELING HERE IN. THE PERSIAN GULF. WHAT I NOTE HERE ARE THREE HITS. AROUND THE AREA OF KUWAIT AND. IRAQ. EARLIER TODAY THE KUWAIT'S SAID. SOME DRONE FROM SOMEWHERE, IRAQI-BACKED SHIA OR IRANIAN. MILITARY FIRED DRONES AT THE. BORDER CROSSING BETWEEN KUWAIT. AND IRAQ. WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT GOES. ALSO OF NOTE THIS LOOKS TO BE. AROUND THE TOWN OF TEBREZ.

NORTHWEST OF TEHRAN. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS A CHOKE. POINT. 20 MILES WIDE AND ITS NEAREST. POINT. YOU HAVE ALSO GOT OVER HERE THE. SUEZ CANAL AND RED SEA. ACTIVITY THERE. GO TO THAT LOCATION NOW. THE AREA IN RED IS WHAT THE. HOUTHIS CONTROL. ABOUT 100 MILES ON THE SEA. ITSELF. A LARGER AREA BUT ON THE SEA. ITSELF ABOUT 100 MILES LONG. WE THINK UPWARDS OF SEVEN. VESSELS CAME IN THIS AREA AND.

TURNED TAIL AND LIKEWISE HERE IN. THE RED SEA AFTER THEY, WELL, THEY WEREN'T QUITE SURE THAT. THEY COULD MAKE A CROSSING AFTER. THE HOUTHIS ARE NOW THREATENING. THESE VESSELS. WE ARE WATCHING THAT. SEVEN IN TOTAL SO FAR HAVE. TURNED AROUND. RICK SCOTT, MEMBER OF THE SENATE. FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE AND. SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE. SENATOR, HELLO TO YOU. WHAT CAN YOU SHARE WITH US AND. OUR VIEWERS THAT MIGHT BE SOME. GOOD NEWS RIGHT NOW ABOUT THIS.

CONFLICT? DO YOU BELIEVE THE AMERICAN. FORCES ARE MAKING PROGRESS? >> ABSOLUTELY. FIRST OFF, LET'S MAKE A. DECISION. I THINK THE RIGHT THING HERE TO. THINK ABOUT THIS AMERICAN. FREEDOM AND LIBERTY IS IMPORTANT. ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. DO WE WANT TO CONTINUE ALLOW. AMERICANS TO BE KILLED BY THE. IRANIAN REGIME OR NOT? THIS PRESIDENT SAID ENOUGH IS. ENOUGH. WE HAVE THE STRONGEST MILITARY. IN THE WORLD. THEY WILL COME TO THE TABLE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY DAYS BUT. THEY WILL COME TO THE TABLE.

NO ONE CAN FIGHT WITH OUR. MILITARY LONG. SO MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE. PEOPLE OF IRAN WHAT THEY ARE. GOING THROUGH. THE IRANIAN REGIME IS DESPICABLE. AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO KILL. AMERICANS. NO ABILITY TO KILL AMERICANS. NO APPEASEMENTS. THE PRESIDENT IS DOING IS RIGHT. THING. >> Bill: MARCO RUBIO THIS. MORNING IN THE PHILIPPINES. LISTEN. >> IRAN IS BEGGING US, OKAY, BOTH DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY. LET'S DO A DEAL, LET'S TALK.

THEY BEG EVERY DAY. THE PROBLEM WITH IRAN THEY MAKE. A DEAL THEY EITHER BREAK IT OR. CHANGE IT. LOOKS LIKE THEY AREN'T READY TO. MAKE A DEAL. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO PAY A. PRICE. >> Bill: THE IRANIAN FOREIGN. MINISTER SAID THIS. OUR DEFENSE DOCTRINE IS CLEAR, EYE FOR AN EYE. ANY AGGRESSION AGAINST IRAN, INCLUDING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. WILL COMPEL A POWERFUL AND. DECISIVE RESPONSE. THOSE WHO C CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH.

AGGRESSION WILL BE CONSIDERED. LEGITIMATE TARGETS. THAT'S NOT A THREAT JUST AGAINST. AMERICAN FORCES BUT AGAINST GULF. NEIGHBORS IN THE REGION WHERE. THE U.S. MILITARY HAS POSITIONS. >> I MEAN, THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. THIS IS -- THEY HAVE BEEN. TARGETING AMERICANS AND BASES. AND TARGETING ALLIES. THEY'VE BEEN -- SUPPORTED HAMAS. AND HOUTHIS AND HEZBOLLAH TO. CONTINUE TO DISABLE. SO THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. THE ONLY WAY IT WILL STOP IS BY.

FORCE. I AGREE WITH MARCO RUBIO, THESE. GUYS MIGHT SAY THEY WANT TO. TALK. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF LIARS. THEY NEED TO DROP THEIR WEAPONS. I BELIEVE THERE WILL HAVE TO BE. A REGIME CHANGE. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT GETS DONE IF. THE SAME PEOPLE ARE IN CHARGE. THEY'VE LIED TO US FOR 47 YEARS. WHY WOULD THEY CHANGE NOW? >> THE SURGE OF FORCES INTO THE. AREA REPORTED THIS WEEK WILL. LEAD TO AN ESCALATION OF THE. CONFLICT.

>> FIRST OFF, THIS PRESIDENT. DOESN'T WANT TO PUT BOOTS ON THE. GROUND AND I DON'T THINK WE'LL. HAVE TO DO THAT. WHAT HE IS SAYING IS ENOUGH IS. ENOUGH. WE PUT UP WITH 47 YEARS OF. APPEASEMENT WHERE THEY'VE BEEN. KILLING AMERICANS AND KILLING. OUR ALLIES AND DESTABILIZING THE. AREA AND IT WILL STOP. THROUGH U.S. MILITARY FORCE. I'M OPTIMISTIC IT WILL WORK OUT. HOW MUCH LONGER IT WILL LAST, I. DON'T KNOW. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE. FAMILIES THAT LOST THEIR LOVED. ONES. I SERVED IN THE MILITARY AND I.

KNEW WHAT THE RISKS WERE. BUT NO ONE PROBABLY THOUGHT THEY. WOULD EVER DIE IN THIS CONFLICT. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THOSE. FAMILIES. >> Bill: NO DOUBT. QUITE A SCENE YESTERDAY. CHUCK SCHUMER ON WAR POWERS, ROLL IT. WATCH HERE. >> THIS WEEK SENATE DEMOCRATS. WILL FORCE ANOTHER VOTE ON THE. WAR POWERS RESOLUTION TO END. THIS WAR AND GET OUR TROOPS OUT. OF HARM'S WAY. EVERY SENATOR WILL HAVE TO MAKE. A CHOICE. YOU CANNOT CLAIM TO SUPPORT THE. TROOPS WHILE LEAVING THEM. TRAPPED IN A WAR WITH NO MISSION.

AND NO END. YOU CANNOT CALL IT A VICTORY. WHILE THE BATTLEFIELD KEEPS. EXPANDING. AND YOU CANNOT HIDE THE WOUNDED. AND CALL IT PEACE. >> Bill: HEAVY WORDS THERE. >> LOOK, HE IS AN APPEASEER. THE SAME PEOPLE DURING THE. SECOND WORLD WAR COMPLAINED WHAT. THE AMERICAN MILITARY WAS DURING. OR CIVIL WAR COMPLAINED WHAT. LINCOLN IS DOING. CHUCK SCHUMER DOESN'T BELIEVE IN. AMERICAN STRENGTH.

I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WHAT THE. DEMOCRATS ARE DOING. THEY ARE WASTING TIME. I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND CONTINUE. TO SUPPORT THIS PRESIDENT WHO. SAYS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. AMERICAN FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY. IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR. >> Bill: SENAT.
