Overview
- On Fox’s The Big Weekend Show, co-host Joey Jones urged U.S. leaders to “spill their [enemy’s] blood” in Iran and “get the hell out.”
- Addressing President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Gen. Dan Caine, he warned public tolerance is low after Iraq and Afghanistan and told them not to nation-build.
- His comments landed as thousands of U.S. troops were deployed to the region, with reports that up to 10,000 more could be positioned near Iran.
- HuffPost framed the remarks within an Iran war now in its fifth week, citing polls that show most Americans disapprove and reporting at least 13 U.S. troops killed in counterattacks.
- The appeal highlights pressure from conservative media for a strike-then-withdraw plan rather than a prolonged ground campaign.
