8:00 am
good morning, it is 11:00 a.m. eastern, 8:00 a.m. pacific joinings you for the first time in our brand new hour. new questions this morning after a fourth flying object was shot down over u.s. air space this weekend. what we know and what we don't know about the ongoing mystery. in turkey and syria the death toll has risen to more
8:01 am
than 35,000 after two earthquakes devastated the region, and yet miracles bring glimmers of hope one week later. back here at home in kansas city, fireworks and celebrations after the chief's star quarterback patrick mahomes led the team to victory over the philadelphia eagles during sunday night's super bowl thriller. and we begin this hour with the mystery surrounding those objects in the sky. this weekend the u.s. shot down three flying objects over north american air space bringing the total to four in just over a week. on sunday, president biden directed a shootdown of an unidentified object flying over lake huron. the day before a u.s. jet was authorized to shoot down an unidentified obvious flying through canadian air space. on friday the u.s. shot down an object over northern alaska. this all comes after u.s.
8:02 am
officials shot down a chinese surveillance balloon off the coast of south carolina last weekend. this morning the white house is denying a new claim from chinese officials that the u.s. has flown balloons over its air space more than ten times. >> not true. not doing it. just absolutely not true. >> the u.s., let me just push you a little further then. the u.s. is not using these balloon technologies at all over china? >> that is right. we are not flying balloons over china, that saab salutely true. >> joining us now, tom costello, alley rafa, james stra vee dis, and co-anchor of pbs news hour and an msnbc contributor. tom, what do we know about these objects and the ongoing recovery efforts? >> there's a lot we don't know. it does not appear that these are all uniform, that they're not all the same shape and size.
8:03 am
that object that was shot down right off the alaskan coast on friday appears to have been bigger, more like the size of a small vehicle in terms of the size. we don't know the weight. it was then, as you know, it was shot down and it landed just off the coast, and the conditions there are horrific. 50 degrees below zero, windchills, snow, you know, deep cold, so recovering that object right now is what is the priority for the military. that's going to take a little while. the object that was shot down over the yukon, the canadian yukon on saturday, they think that that had some sort of a cylindrical type of shape to it, and then the object shot down over lake huron yesterday, that appears to have been octagonal . we don't know what they are and who might be behind them.
8:04 am
have they been up for a long time, have they been involved in meteorological type of evaluations, ozone monitoring, weather, is it intelligence gathering from china or russia, or is there a corporate sponsor behind this? a lot that we don't know. but at this very moment, the canadian and u.s. forces are attempting to recover the remnants of all of those pieces off the alaskan coast, in the canadian yukon, also in lake huron, which appears to also be in canadian waters. and we should underscore, of course, that the united states and canada have this binational agreement, and it has been underscored by a 60-year-old agreement with norad, north american air defense n which u.s. and canadian offices and both ministies of defense work closely to monitor the air space and respond to any potential issues. according to the commanding general of norad, he was at that moment thinking this may have been the first time in this entire relationship in which an object was shot down under norad
8:05 am
command in north american air defense space, but again, the question is what were these objects? who's behind it? at this moment we simply don't know. >> what has been the white house response to this, and then this claim from china that, you know, the united states is flying all kinds of balloons over its air space? >> yeah, jose. we heard that sharp denial from john kirby this morning, and the white house is adding in a statement today, they say in part, quote, this is the latest example of china scrambling to do damage control, and they add that china has, quote, failed to offer any credible explanations for its intrusion into our air space and the air space of others. jose, with these unidentified objects being shot down almost on a near daily basis now, the american people, lawmakers on capitol hill both republicans and democrats are demanding their own answers from u.s. officials from the white house about these identified objects because we really haven't gotten
8:06 am
much information up to this point. remember, we first learned about the chinese spy balloon from our own courtney kube's reporting. we learned about the unidentified object shot out of the sky off the coast of alaska on friday because reporters asked about it during the white house press briefing and then we learned about the unidentified b object shot over the yukon by canadian officials first on saturday. there's questions growing on this white house to answer more questions about this. you heard tom talk about how long the recovery efforts for t. the white house saying they don't want to get ahead of the pentagon and reveal temperature information before they reveal the results and analysis from the information collected from that debris. in the meantime, you're seeing conspiracy theories and rumors spread like wildfire, people wondering what these objects could be, where they're from, their purposes, their capabilities and the pressure is growing on this white house to answer those questions. we do expect there to be a white house briefing today with press
8:07 am
secretary karine jean-pierre. . there are no plans to see or hear from president biden today, jose. >> so admiral, how do you -- what do you think is going on? >> yeah, well, let's put it in three buckets. tactically what's going on is still unknown, but i think almost with certainty we can say china was collecting intelligence with the balloon caper. the other three more to follow, we will get the vast majority of the pieces and parts, the intelligence community will have a field day putting them back together. we're going to learn a lot. i suspect we'll find two out of three of those are probably in some form of intelligence collection, probably china, probably russia. there's probably a commercial outlier. so more to follow. but here's the real point and it's the operational one. tom mentioned at norad there's
8:08 am
quite excellent cooperation between the united states and canada. we're going to continue to up our game there, integrate our radars, improve command and control, and then finally the big casino here, jose is the strategic impact of this. i think both china and the united states, i hope, over the coming weeks are going to try and take the temperature down a little bit here. it's kind of ratcheting up with this dialogue about we're flying balloons over them, which we're not. they are certainly flying balloons over us. i think both sides you need to take a deep breath here, tray and walk this thing back. i suspect that's what you'll see in the coming weeks. >> and democratic congressman jim himes a members of the house intelligence committee on "meet the press". >> i have real concerns why the administration is not being more forthcoming with everything that it knows. part of the problem is both the
8:09 am
second and the third objects were shot down in very remote areas, so my guess is that there's just not a lot of information out there yet to share. >> how much of an issue is this politically for the white house? >> jose, i think the main issue here is that there are many, many more questions than there are answers, and so the question a lot of folks are asking including lawmakers is does the white house, does the administration, the department of defense just not have those answers yet or do they have them and they're not sharing them for some particular reason? i thought it was striking that the congressman noted yesterday, and he as the ranking member on that house committee that that gang of eight, the top intelligence leaders in the house and senate got a very extensive briefing after that first chinese spy balloon was shot down, and they admitted the administration has been less forthcoming after these most recent three objects. he also acknowledged that in the absence of information there is a lot of speculation. it fuels that speculation about
8:10 am
additional chinese action or other adversaies or alien invasions or what have you. people don't have that information yet. i thought it was also telling that senate majority leader chuck schumer yesterday said he was briefed on saturday night by jake sullivan, he got a little bit of information saying those two most recent objects were most likely balloons but not much more. the most recent information we have from the department of defense, sunday night press conference, the u.s. air force commander said he couldn't explain what those most recents objects were. >> to quote bob dylan, something is happening and you just don't know what it is. tom costello, allie raffa, admiral. breaking news out of georgia, a judge had ordered the release this week of three portions of the report from the fulton county special grand jury which was tasked with
8:11 am
investigating efforts by former president trump to intervene with the election results in georgia. the three sections are set to be published this thursday. joining us by phone is nbc news correspondent blayne alexander. what do we know? >> we know that we are going to get a look into this report, but it's only going to be a very limited look. so the judge in his eight-page ruling today said that he's going to order the release of three portions. those portions are the introduction, the conclusion, and a section, section eight, which he described as the section where some of the special grand jurors expressed their concerns that some of the witnesses may have been lying under oath. now, he does mention that those witnesses are not identified, so we don't know who those people are. but essentially he says, you know, he's not going to allow the entire portion to be released, the entire report to be released. one, something that the district attorney argued against, but also noticed that it would debrooif individuals of their
8:12 am
due process. he does confirm that the report does include charging recommendations. that's something that's notable because it's something that we knew was certainly likely inside, but he's now confirmed that is part of the report. he says it includes a roster of who should or should not be indicted and for what in relation to the conduct and aftermath of the 2020 general election in georgia. we're not going to get those names. we're not going to get that list. it gives us at least a look into the special grand jury and their mind-set and kind of the discussions they had around this. mcburney said in his order, this isn't going to be convenient to the d.a. he makes a nod that, the d.a. wants to keep the entire thing under wraps until she does what she needs to do. while this may not be convenient to her timing, the compelling public interest in these proceedings and the unquestionable value and importance of transparency require their release. i want to talk through what's going to happen for the rest of the week. it's going to be published as
8:13 am
part of the docket until thursday. both parties can determine what if any portions of those three sections should be redacted before they're made public. >> thank you so very much. still ahead, it's been five years since a gunman robbed the lives of 14 students and three staff members at stoneman douglas high school. we're live with the father of jamie gutman, one of those victims. a staggering death toll in turkey and syria, a week after earthquakes devastated the region. how rescue efforts there are proving miracles do exist. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports." diaz-balar. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

17 past the hour, a week after the deadly earthquakes in turkey and syria, officials say more than 35,000 people are dead. rescue efforts are pivoting now to recovery as families mourn
8:18 am
lost loved ones. but even seven days later we're still seeing the occasional miracle. this morning in southern turkey, rescuers say they can hear two survivors trapped inside a building ruins. they're doing everything they can to reach them, to rescue them digging with their nails to make sure not to dislodge the debris. we're also learning about a little girl less than 10 years old pulled from the rubble of a building alive, 178 hours after it collapsed. people at the scene cheering god is great. with us now is kelly cobiella live from the ground in turkey. kelly, people are left with
8:19 am
nothing, so many people are left with nothing, but we are still seeing little miracles. >> reporter: yeah, just an incredibly desperate situation in this earthquake zone, not only here in turkey, but also in syria. you can see behind me that these rescue operations are still ongoing, search operations throughout this city and other parts of turkey in this building, a small team is getting ready to go in because they think they detected signs of life earlier in the day. just down the street from me on the same block, there's another search operation ongoing. and it's not just in this neighborhood, not just in this city, but across turkey where they're still desperately trying to save lives at this late hour. tonight the united nations aid chief said we're getting close to the time when this operation turns into a humanitarian operation where the window for rescues closes.
8:20 am
that is already the case in syria just across the border where they called off searches over the weekend. they never received any of the heavy equipment that you've seen in turkey where you see the diggers, the cranes, big machinery able to move concrete. that didn't happen in syria, not in opposition held areas, so they were left with simply walking away from the searches. there entire villages have been reduced to rubble and very little aid has gotten through. only two united nations aid convoys across one border crossing in the past week. jose, the situation is incredibly desperate there, it is also incredibly difficult here where the government says a million people are in temporary shelter of some kind. we've seen it for ourselves, just walking through the streets people are still lighting fires out in the open to stay warm. they're still sleeping in their cars. they're still living in
8:21 am
makeshift tents, and just really desperate to get some sort of shelter, warmth, and food. jose. >> kelly cobiella in turkey, thank you so much. now, meanwhile as kelly was talking about, the u.n. estimates that as many as 5.3 million people are now homeless in the wake of the disaster. think about that, 5.3 million. sky news' alex crawford traveled to one of the hardest hit areas. >> reporter: the white helmets so used to pulling people out of bombed buildings now trying to sift through rubble to find those who survived the war only to die trapped and terrified in the earthquake. they've just found the body of a 4-year-old boy still in his pajamas. his father can hardly contain his despair and disgust at how he was left to die alone with no help from outside.
8:22 am
>> translator: who is helping us? in turkey they're getting everything. >> what a great. who is helping us. joining us now is the ceo and founder of the ka ram foundation, which is delivering aid on the ground in syria. thank you so much, elina for being with us this morning. we just heard from that father who says where is the help? what are you seeing there? >> absolutely. i think for all syrians who have been affected by this earthquake, the double earthquake that actually happened in turkey and syria, this question is on everybody's minds. we're asking where is the help and we've been -- syrians have been asking where is the help for now almost 12 years. as a syrian originally from aleppo, i can say that we've watched syrians face every kind of death over the past 12 years,
8:23 am
so this earthquake has been unimaginable for us to watch people who have suffered so much displacement, so much violence, so much war, and all kinds of unimaginable experiences to have this happen to them now both in syria and in turkey. the situation in turkey is extremely dire as well, as you can sea. the entire city has been leveled and that is the home of hundreds of thousands of syrians who found safety in this place and refuge in this place and built new lives and have also been left with nothing. what we're seeing from families that we support in both syria and in turkey, families are separated, parents without children, children without parents, my friends are looking for their loved ones. everybody has lost somebody. we're witnessing the refugees coming from southern turkey to northern turkey and not having -- coming with nothing, and so the most vulnerable are also hosting the most vulnerable again. the need is extreme, and it's a
8:24 am
huge failure again on the international community on delivering the aid that's needed after an earthquake and the time that is needed to save lives. >> you're so correct. i mean, this is a crisis 12 years plus in the making, and this is just one more layer over the pain, the suffering, the death, the destruction that the syrian people have been going through. i'm just wondering with those difficult circumstances and the reality there of what -- how that government is and just the reality of that country, how is it that people can help and knowing that that help will get to these people? >> absolutely. i think, you know, supporting the organizations on the ground is critical, karam foundation is where we've been since 2013. i consider this my second home after aleppo. i was just in on tok ya three
8:25 am
weeks ago seeing the images of this country, turkey that has brought in so many syrians and found their homes there and seeing it destroyed is extremely heart wrenching. the way people can help right now, people need donations. we're supporting with food, water, heat, it's extremely cold in southern turkey and northern syria right now. what i'm hearing from my people on the ground is they're suffering without having access to basic necessities. this is also a long-term disaster. people need the support. they need it next week. we need it for the next months and this is not something that's short-term. i urge people to not turn away. i want everybody to understand when you're seeing these kinds of images you're seeing now, this is our team on the ground now delivering this support, this team, they are refugees themselves, and they are survivors of the earthquake themselves working on the ground delivering the aid. so it's extremely important to support. we actually have some of our students entering into the distributions and, you know, one
8:26 am
of the things that have happened at our karam house, community centers, in istanbul where we've brought kids in to give them the social support and community support they need after this tragedy. we've heard today saying after being there for two days in a row, they're finally able to sleep again because of this nightmare they've experienced. >> yeah, lina, thank you so much, and you're so right. i mean, these things aren't just transitory. these have a long-term effect and there needs to be long-term help for these people. i thank you very much for being with us this morning. and let's take now a look at some of the other stories making headlines. the philippine coast guard said a chinese ship hit one of its vessels with a military grade laser in the south china sea temporarily blinding some of the crew on the ship. the chinese foreign ministry says the philippines ship
8:27 am
entered chinese water without permission. china claims it controls virtually the entire south china sea. the israeli security cabinet has decided to turn nine illegal outposts in the west bank into new settlements. "axios" reports this is the first legalization of illegal outposts since 2012 and was approved despite objections by the biden administration. the u.s. opposes the move because it could hamper efforts to negotiate a two-state solution to the israeli palestinian conflict. in iran, a group of antigovernment hackers briefly interrupted an internet broadcast of a speech by the country's leader, marking the anniversary of the islamic revolution. the celebration is the first since nationwide protests began in earnest in september after a 22-year-old woman died in the custody of iran's morality police. a human rights group says at least 528 protesters have died, four young men have been executed. nearly 20,000 other protesters have been arrested.

8:33 am
hour, and what this means -- >> thank you. >> -- is it could mean more work for jack smith. former vice president mike pence is a pivotal piece of this investigation as he looks at efforts the former president made to influence the election. on january 6th it was mike pence who was supposed to certify the results of the 2020 election. so any conversations that trump and pence may have had where trump would try to pressure pence not to certify those results could get at the heart of what jack smith is investigating, particularly in this part of his investigation. he's also looking into the handling of classified documents that ended up at mar-a-lago. but the fact that pence had to be subpoenaed shows that perhaps there was already some pressure from trump's legal team to tell pence not to cooperate and now that seems to definitely be coming true. as we look at the fact that trump's legal team might be trying to assert executive privilege to keep pence from cooperating, that could mean more work for jack smith as he tries to figure out what information he can get from pence with trump's legal team
8:34 am
stepping in. but as we've seen in so many investigations in the past, oftentimes trump's legal team will try to exert executive privilege over anything they can, and they'll often hit a wall where they're told that the not protected. >> all of this comes days after the fbi found another clatsz fied document in pence's indiana home. where does the investigation there go? >> we don't know what that information might have contained. there's also an argument you'll hear from a lot of people who worked in national security that perhaps there's an over classification of documents in our system. some documents that aren't that sensitive are classified. we don't know what that document held, and congress wants more information about what information might have been leaked not only in this document, but also in classified documents found in biden's home or in mar-a-lago. but what we do know is that pence in that investigation has been largely cooperative and allowed the fbi access to that home. and so we'll see where it goes from there. in that part it does seem that pence is open to cooperation.

8:45 am
bit about is there any hope in your mind going forward that you can see some light? >> yes, there is. listen -- and i appreciate your comments on jamie, because she was the energy in every room that she went into. but i do have hope. this year we did some really big things on the issue of reducing gun violence, but it was nothing more than a start. this year we've elected more people who want to do something about the issue of gun violence but unfortunately in the house due to gerrymandering we're stuck with a looney bin that we're going to have to address in the next election. but i do have hope. the majority of americans want this done, and we're going to do it, and i hope my book plays a role in that. my book is going to give them the truth. we're going to walk away from all the lies that have brought us to this point.

we're going to talk about facts and we're going to hopefully get people the information they need to talk about this issue in a meaningful way. >> yeah, and when that book is out, i want to talk about it with you at length if you'd be so kind to come back. >> for sure. yeah. >> there is no -- that i've seen parkland memorial, you know, where should we be having that memorial? >> well, listen, there's a lot of great people working on that right now including parkland parents and members of the community. i'm not involved in that process. there is an effort to build a memorial outside of the school and i believe they have land secured in the area, which will be really important when they do finally get that done. i still am not sure what they're going to do on the school property where the building currently still stands, but

listen, really good people are working on all of that, and i respect they'll make the right decisions. >> yeah, fred, you know, you couldn't find any new pictures, man, it just it's tough. >> but you know what i can do, jose? >> what? >> we can keep on doing things that jamie would have wanted us to do, and so my wife and i, you know, jamie was obsessed with her dogs. our dogs were a huge part of our heal, and through our foundation we started a new initiative, paws of love where we're giving companion dogs, the entire first year, everything needed to families affected by gun violence. and just go to our website, ribbonsforjamie to learn more about it. this is how we, this is how jamie continues to live, through things like this. >> and she always will. fred, thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> good to see you. >> thanks. we'll be right back. ee you

demand. joining us is morgan brennan on cnbc. what should buyers know about the state of the housing market? >> well, good morning to you. and i will say some green chutes ahead of the spring home buying season which is so critical and typically seasonally very busy time of the year for housing. we've seen demand in the housing market hit hard by the federal reserve rate hikes that started last year, but now signs of life as mortgage rates are lowest since last september. and that has propelled a rebound in mortgage applications. even as buyers return, it does raise the supply question, is there enough inventory? that was an issue contributing to some of the huge price gains that we saw throughout the pandemic. it is arguably an issue now as some prospective sellers may choose to stay put because they have lower mortgage rates.
8:53 am
so we'll get a check on all of the cross currents and how it is teeing us up for the spring season with readings on weekly mortgage applications, home wilder sentiment, housing starts all coming this week. also worth noting that some home price declines have happened in major metro areas on a month to month to month basis since we did see the fed begin its tightening cycle, but since mortgage rates began rising last year i should say, but those prices are still higher than they were a year ago and that is going to be a factor in the monthly inflation reading that we'll get that will be released tomorrow and specifically how those higher prices have translated into the rental market which is such a big part of cpi. but so far, some early signs that buyers at least are back out in the market and looking to make some bids on some properties. >> morgan brennan, thank you very much. good to see you. a big win for the chiefs, devastating loss for the eagles. and one heck of a halftime show. we'll talk about the super bowl,
