US sends MORE TROOPS to Middle East

>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? OUR SNEAF INCREDIBLE. OUR MILITARY IS INCREDIBLE. THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE. NOW I HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION. THEY WILL EITHER SIGN A VERY. FAIR DEAL OR THEY WON'T EXIST. ANY LONGER. >> Brian: PRESIDENT TRUMP. WARNING IRAN WILL CEASE TO EXIST. IF ITS LEADERS DO NOT SIGN A. DEAL WITH THE U.S. THE COMMENTS COME AFTER TRUMP. SAID IT'S POSSIBLE HE COULD. RESUME BOMBING IRAN FOLLOWING.

NOVEMBER'S MIDTERM ELECTIONS. AS TENSION CONTINUES TO. ESCALATE. U.S. OFFICIALS TELLING FOX NEWS. THE U.S. IS SENDING A THIRD. AIRCRAFT CARRIER AND AN. ADDITIONAL MARINE EXPEDITIONARY. UNIT OVER TO THE MIDDLE EAST, ADDING 10,000 SAILORS AND. MARINES TO THE REGION. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? LET'S BRING IN RETIRED FOUR STAR. GENERAL, FOX NEWS STRATEGIC. ANALYST GENERAL JACK KEANE, GENERAL, GACE GREAT TO SEE YOU, CHOWR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE. AIRCRAFT CARRIER TEDDY ROOSEVELT. GOING OVER?

>>. >> WELL, A COUPLE THINGS. ONE WE ALWAYS ANTICIPATE THE. ISRAELIS AND THE UNITED STATES. THAT IRAN WOULD LIKELY ESCALATE. PRIOR TO THE ELECTIONS ISRAEL IN. OCTOBER THE ELECTIONS IN UNITED. STATES IN NOVEMBER. SO THAT IS LIKELY PART OF WHAT. IS TAKING PLACE HERERE. BUT IT'S ALSO BEING, THE. PRESIDENT HAS ON THE TABLE AND. HE HAS NEVER TAKEN IT OFF, RETURNING TO MAJOR COMBAT. OPERATION FOR OUR AUDIENCE AS A. REMINDER, THAT'S COMBINED. OPERATIONS, U.S. AND ISRAEL. LIKELY A MUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF.

TIME. LIKELY A MUCH MORE MASSIVE. ATATTACK THAN ANYTHING WE HAVE. EVER SEEN BEFORE. OUR INTELLIGENCE IS PRISTINE. I MEAN, WE HAVE BEEN TRACKING. EVERYTHING THE IRANIANS ARE. DOING. THINK ABOUT IT. SINCE THE CEASEFIRE ON APRIL THE. 7TH. SO WE KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS. AND WE KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO. TO DEAL WITH IT OBVIOUSLY WE. HAVE PRIORITIES CERTAIN THINGS. ARE VERY IMPORTANT. WE PROVIDE COMPLETES DEVASTATION. TO THIS REGIME AND ITS ABILITY. TO GO FORWARD. NO DOUBT WE CAN PUT IT ON A PATH.

COLLAPSE, MAKING THE ASSUMPTION. THAT THE CIA AND MOSSAD ARE. WORKING FULL-TIME TO UNDERMINE. THE REGIME FRACTURE AND ALSO. WORK WITH GROUPS THAT WANT TO. PROVIDE SOME SIGNIFICANT. RESISTANCE TO THE REGIME. MAKE AN ASSUMPTION THAT'S ALSO. TAKING PLACE MEANWHILE ONE OF. THE EDITORIALS IN TODAY'S WALL. STREET JOURNAL. THE BATTLE OF HORMUZ IS TURNING. IT GOES ON TO SAY THE STRAIT. THAT WAS IN CONTROL OF THE. IRANIANS HAS ALMOST SLIPPED. AWAY. BEFORE THE WAR, THEY WERE.

GETTING 17.13 MILLION BARRELS. THROUGH THAT STRAIT. IT'S UP TO 15. AND EVERY DAY A LITTLE BIT MORE. SO, FOR R PEOPLE WHO SAID THE. BLOCKADE WAS TOO AGGRESSIVE AND. THAT THE STRAIT WAS IN CONTROL. OF THE IRANIANS. THEY HAVE TO EAT CROW TODAY. >> WELL, THERE IS NO DOUBT. THE OUT THERE SIGNIFICANT. I RECEIVED MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS. MYSELF IN ONE DAY FROM PEOPLE. WHO ARE PART OF THE.

ADMINISTRATION SAYING ALL IT'S. GOING TO TAKE A DRONE SHOT TO. STOP OPENING UP THE STRAITS. THE FACTS PEOPLE DON'T. UNDERSTAND, YEAH, IRAN IS STILL. SHOOTING DRONE SHOTS AND STILL. OCCASIONALLY FIRING A MISSILE. THAT WAS NEVER THE POINT THE. POINT WAS THAT OUR MILITARY. COULD EFFECTIVELY PROTECT. PASSAGE OF SHIPS THROUGH THE. STRAITS WE HAVE BEEN.

DEMONSTRATING THAT NOT TO THE. WORLD AT LARGE TO CAFNTS THAT. DRIVE THE SHIPS THEY HAVE. CONFIDENCE THAT THE UNITED. STATES MILITARY IS GOING TO GET. THEM THROUGH THAT PASSAGE POINT. UNHAHARMED. IF THEY DID NOT HAVE THIS. CONFIDENCE, THIS WOULD NOT BE. HAPPENING. THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE MISSED FROM. THE OUTSET OH, YOU ARE NEVER. GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? A THIRD RATE MILITARY POWER LIKE. IRAN IS ACTUALLY GOING TO STOP. THE UNITED STATES FROM TAKING.

CONTROL OF A WHATEVER IT WANTS. TO CONTROL? PIECE OF GROUND, A PIECE OF. WATER, IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED. AND WE HAVE PROVEN THAT. >> GENERAL, LOOK AT WHAT IS. HAPPENING IN THE REGION, THERE. IS A THOUGHT THAT BEFORE THE. MIDTERM ELECTIONS THAT THE. IRANIANS MIGHT BOTH ELECTIONS, THE ISRAELI AND THE U.S. ELECTIONS, LOOKING HURT BOTH. REGIMES. 25-PAGE LETTER TO THE AMERICAN. PEOPLE, THEY BASICALLY TOLD TO. US VOTE DEMOCRAT AND THEY WANT. NETANYAHU OUT. IF YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S THEIR.

AGENDA, HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR. IT? >> WELL, WE ARE PREPARED FOR IT, THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THE FACT. THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO LIKELY. ESCALATE AND CERTAINLY THE. TERROR OPERATION IN THE U.K. MAY. BE A PART OF THAT RADICALIZED. ISLAMIC INDIVIDUAL RELATED TO. IRAN TAKE SOMETHING TO SEE.

THEY'RE PULLING OUT ALL THE. STOPS TO INFLUENCE OPERATIONS. INSIDE THE UNITED STATES. ASSISTED BY OTHER COUNTRIES IS. PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW, TO WHAT THEY WANT IS. AN OUTCOME HERE THAT IS VERY. DIFFERENT THAT THE OPPOSITION. PARTY IS TAKING CONTROL OF THE. CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. AND SHUT THE WAR DOWN. THAT, THEY BELIEVE, IS THE BEST. PATHWAY FORWARD FOR THEM AS. OPPOSED TO HAVING TO FIGHT US. SO WHY WOULDN'T THEY WANT TO. PURSUE THAT OBJECTIVE? AND THEY ARE DOING THAT AS MUCH. AS THEY CAN. THAT WOULD BE BEHIND THEM.

CONDUCTING SOME ESCALATION AND. THE REASON FOR THAT WOULD BE TO. CONVINCE THE UNITED STATES LOOK. IT, WE JUST HIT A U.S. BASE. WE JUST KILLED SOME U.S. SOLDIERS. WE JUST DID SOME DAMAGE TO ANN. OIL FIELD IN THE GULF STATES. AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, THE WAR. IS BEING POORLY MANAGED. THE WAR IS NOT BEING POORLY. MANAGED. BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT, PLANT. THAT SEED IN THE AMERICAN. VOTERS' HEAD. SO, YEAH, IRAN HAS ALWAYS. UNDERSTOOD U.S. POLITICS AND THE.

AMERICAN PEOPLE, THE AMERICAN. PEOPLE IN TERMS OF ITS POLITICAL. RESOLVE AND COMMITMENT IS AT. ISSUE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO. EXPLOIT IT AND UNDERMINE IT. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SUCCEED IN. MY VIEW HERE WITH DOING THAT. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WHETHER. THEY WANTED THE WAR TO START OR. NOT, THE ONE THING THE AMERICAN. PEOPLE REAEALLY WANT, FINISH IT. AND WIN IT. THAT'S WHERE THE AMERICAN THAT I. HAVE BEEN TALKING TO ACROSS THIS. COUNTRY FOR MANY, MANY WEEKS NOW. AND I'M IN CONTACT WITH. I'M ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED OF IT. SOME OF THEM DIDN'T WANTED TO DO.

THIS IN THE BEGINNING, BUT MOST. OF THEM DID. BUT THAT'S WHERE THEY ARE. FINISH IT TO OUR FAVOR AND WIN.
