Former U.S. Navy SEAL Jonathan Gilliam joined'Fox & Friends First' to discuss what he sees as the'common denominator' to the Biden administration's response to attacks in the Middle East and how it will serve as a'litmus test' in 2024. A U.S. official confirmed to Fox News the drone from an Iranian proxy that killed 3 American service members in Jordan and injured others got past the air defenses for Tower 22 because it was mistaken for a U.S. drone expected to return to the base at the same time. The Wall Street Journal initially reported on this development on Monday. A U.S. official confirmed the information to Fox News. President Biden has vowed to take action against Iranian-backed militants in the Middle East after the drone attack at Tower 22, a post in Jordan near Syria's border, over the weekend.

Left-wing activist Michael Moore claimed Sunday that U.S. defense policy and spending should be refocused from military involvement in other countries to instead fight climate change, White supremacy and the coronavirus pandemic. Appearing on MSNBC, Moore suggested U.S. armed forces weren't "the good guys" because of their military involvement in countries like Syria and Somalia, and instead claimed he wanted to be known for doing "the good things," like building wells in poor villages rather than provide funding to Israel's Iron Dome defense system. "As we speak tonight the U.S. still has 2,500 troops in Iraq. Last week the U.S. military admitted that a drone strike in Kabul that killed ten innocent civilians was an American drone strike. Seven of them were kids. We talk about ending the war but we're still going to carry on with drones, we're still going to carry on with these, quote, over-the-horizon operations. You know, we are still at war," host Mehdi Hasan said after playing a clip of President Joe Biden touting the U.S. not being at war for the first time in 20 years.
