karine: no, it's ok. reporter: just on the meeting with king abdullah, can you speak more specifically about how the president responded to the king's concern that the israeli government is not respecting the status quo at al-aqsa mosque? and whether the president shared the concern of jordanians and the new israeli right-wing government is escalating tensions with palestinians? karine: so, look, we've been very clear about this. i know we've gotten many questions about the israeli government. you know, we've gotten assurances from the prime minister that when it comes to specific policies, when it comes to, you know, how -- what is decided, the policy of the government, that he has repeatedly emphasized that he will set the policy for his government. right? this is -- this is something that he's been very clear on. and i do want to also add, as you know, secretary blinken was just in the region. he met with the israeli and palestinian leaders. this is clearly something we take very seriously of what's oc

karine: no. you probably saw his twitter account this weekend laying out how the president was going to camp david to focus on his speech for tomorrow night. don't have an update on his return, i'm sure it will be sometime this afternoon. reporter: on a different topic, the administration said it's going to -- can you give us a list of which trump officials is eligible?

karine announced the purpose of the trip, and that's to go to poland and in karine's opening statementwered your main question, he wants to talk about the importance of the international community resolve and unity in supporting ukraine for now going on a year. wouldn't it be great if the president did not have to make a trip around a one year anniversary of a war that shouldn't have started, and sadly that's where we are. and the international community resolve and to make it clear to the ukrainian people the united states will stand by them going forward. next weeks and months will be difficult and critical especially for the armed forces and the united states will stand by them. on your president of president duda and peace overtures -- >> oh, lula. i'm sorry. >> he wants to create a group of countries to negotiate peace in ukraine and those group, would include china, india, maybe some other countries. >> certainly refer to president lula to speak to his ideas. i think in the aggregate, we all would like to see this war end today. we would like to see it end right now, in other wor

ok, karine jean-pierre at the white house has just begun taking questions.ad to the white house. >> when it comes to the issues and he's been a champion status quo in many ways, we need him to be a champion of a new vision for america. >> so look, the president is very much looking forward to meeting with congressional, the members of the congressional black caucus, and to have a conversation, a real conversation about how to move forward on police reform and other shared policies as i mentioned moments ago. look, these are members the president has had a long standing relationship with, as you all know, and it's -- it is a collaboration that we see this conversation becoming, a collaboration again on dealing with an issue that is truly affecting the black community and also the brown community as well, and you know, to your -- to the statement that you just laid out from a congressional black caucus member, i would say this, you know, and i said this at the top, when the senate republicans blocked and would not move forward with the george floyd policing ac

thank you, karine. there's been warnings from the ukrainians as well as intelligence agencies in europe and here that as the one-year mark of the war approaches that that might be a moment where putin tries to really escalate the conflict, maybe launch a major new offensive. are you seeing any signs of that being in the works? >> what we see, jonathan, is that russians continue to conduct offensive operations in the donbas area, the fighting around bakhmut remains vicious, even as you and i are talking. clearly he's willing to barrage the country with cruise missiles, knocking out civilian infrastructure and making life for difficult for the ukrainian people, and we believe he'll try to take advantage of these winter months to restock, resupply, rearm, contribute to his manpower in what could be renewed offensive operations come spring. have we seen all of that take shape now? i don't believe we're at a point where we have seen all of that really form. but we're anticipating that, and frankly, so are th

karine jean-pierre is set to take questions from reporters. to what extent to bring it to this moment, what extent do you believe the white house will bring any transparency, any answers on this revelation? >> well, i mean, 0. we have seen the complete lack of transparency from this white house from the get-go, despite the promises of joe biden, and particularly when it comes to his classified documents. karine jean-pierre will always defer to, you know, the lawyers or the doj or anybody else but herself. she has her very basic talking points. we'll get nothing out of the white house but it must be a headache behind the scenes for the people in biden's team to have hunter biden out there freelancing with oodles of cash he seems to have to pay expensive lawyers and file frivolous lawsuits, or lawsuits, but frivolous letters. >> sandra: if you could stay with us, karine jean-pierre is taking the first question. we'll dip in and get back to you. >> heard it from the speaker himself, a continuing conversation and there are real discussions to cont

a question for karine jean-pierre. >> harris: or did he know and that is part of the timeline that itbe in the speech and likely a lot of people knew about it but we just didn't know about it. >> bill: i think these pictures are amazing. the u.s. navy put them out. they were taken before sundown off the coast of myrtle beach. they got a good chunk of it at least what is that a plastic covering of the helium? what is that? >> harris: bryan llenas on the "the faulkner focus" so they could be out there for weeks. >> bill: looking for it, whatever that metal device is in the bottom. >> harris: third surveillance material? >> bill: their surveillance come i guess -- that's right. rochon is a democrat and comes on the show a lot. he's a good guy and works hard, no crack on him. but here he was with dana and i earlier and we chose the certain time to take the balloon out after covered 49 states. >> harris: he is right! >> bill: a welcome okay, yes but why did you make that time of choosing and the aleutian islands and alaska? probably because they did not think we would find out about it is

what do you say to karine jean-pierre who answers edward lawrence with it's the republicans' fault?every day maria i watch her do briefings i have admiration that she's willing to stand out and talk to people who know a lot more than what she's talking than she does and still go to work. all of that said, economics 101, that's what we are talking. basic economics and to call that inflation reduction act knowing full well that what it did is fuel inflation but her talking points -- good on ed to ask the question. maria: i spoke with your colleague joe manchin on sunday and he continues to say that the inflation reduction act is reducing inflation and that it's a security and oil security bill and it's not a green agenda bill. what do you say? >> well, it's exactly a green agenda bill. there's nothing in for oil. nothing in there that would help oil. the reason oil right now is so high priced, of course, is because the administration and this president specifically has -- has made it more difficult to drill. we should be at 15 million barrels per day in the united states of america. w

we expect to see karine in a minute. talking about the very high profile diplomatic drama between the skpus china after the chinese spy balloon was found over u.s. airspace, and shot down just off the coast. listen. >> we know it's the most consequential, we know it's the most complex relationship we have in all of our bilateral relationships. we suspect it's also the most consequential and complex bilateral relationship on the face of the earth. >> right now, you've got navy divers looking for debris from that balloon off the coast of south carolina. beijing describing the u.s. decision to shoot down the balloon is an obviously overreaction, they say. they insist, still, that it was a weather balloon, just a civilian balloon. the pentagon says this was an attempt to spy on strategic locations in the u.s., and they say it's not the first time. they say at least four other chinese balloons have been spotted in our airspace over the last few years. nbc news white house correspondent, mike memoli, along with george solis on

i feel for karine jean-pierre in those moments because while she's taking those slings and arrows on camera the white house counsel is not giving her all the information, they want to stay silent beside their time and hope this blows over. maybe ironically the next issue they're not addressing the balloon bumps this out of the news cycle. >> trace: amazing because you have this cycle now where karine jean-pierre says you have to go to white house counsel, go to the doj who sends you back to the white house. a revolving door, phil wegmann great to have you on thank you sir. >> thank you. >> trace: dramatic new video out of texas shows the moment two boys ages 15 and 12 were involved in a crash as the 15 year old driver tried to avoid police while smuggling an illegal immigrant. authorities said the immigrant suffered incapacitating injuries but all survived the crash. the vehicle was stolen outside san antonio. the 15 year old has been charged >> two gang members suspectedd in the execution-style killing of six people in central california last month, including a teen mother and her 1

and bill karins is here in the studio tracking it. it's going to be quite a night for a lot of folks. >> lester, this is some of the most extreme weather in our country's history in northern new england right now, especially at the higher elevation. it's obviously dangerous for anyone going outside, frostbite or hypothermia in minutes in some cases. 24 million people, and it's reall from connecticut northwds it's northern new england that's getting the bite of this this isn't a misprint. the top of mount washington has a negative 106 windchill right now, a record for them the wind is gusting to a category 2 strength with a negative 45 temperature. it's extremely cold in northern vermont look at maine. northern maine is already at negative 45 so when you wake up tomorrow we're in the negative 45s it slowly gets better during the day tomorrow, but the really good news, lester, by the time we get to sunday, it warms up into the 40s. >> no chance we can skip saturday and go right to sunday? >> no. >> all right bill karins, thank you. >>>

guys. >> let's turn to bill karins now. who is going to get the worse of this particular blast of cold air and how long is it going to last? >> it is already here. now a question of how long will it continue. it looks like tomorrow afternoon, things will relax dramatically, in the areas that are getting hit the hardest. 25 million, the areas here in northern new york, all through areas of the capital district, vermont, new hampshire, maine, most of massachusetts, most of connecticut, rhode island, those are the warning areas and the areas we're worried about people going outside and getting too much exposure and frostbite and at worst hyperthermia, too. the wind chills now in the negative 11, three, dc, not too bad, dc, cold and not that dangerous and once the sun sets, those areas will see the temperatures dipping, and then we'll see the extreme dips in areas to the north. we're already in the negatives, upper 30s, to negative 42 right now, in northern maine, and northern vermont, is negative 32, and so you get the idea, w

messaging from this white house, just take the documents scandal, for instance, and how many times karine jean-pierre had to walk back things she told the american public that ended up to not be the case. so, what exactly is going on here with the messaging from the white house? >> she has a really, really hard job. i was listening in. if your job is to convince the american people that joe biden is serious about the deficit, you have a really, really hard job. i mean, you could have clarence darrow and f. lee bailey and they could not convince the jury of that. the media does not press as if it were a "republican" scandal. i have trump, pence and biden, people don't see a clear lane of victory because it may be my guy that's next in the news. they just searched mike pence's house. so, look, i don't care about the politics. i care about the law. you cannot mishandle classified, doesn't mean you are going to go to prison. i was on the house intel committee, we could not leave the room with that stuff, could not leave the room. how does it get into the garage or mar-a-lago, how does that ha

karine jean-pierre said this disaster is a top priority for this administration. top priority?the money, they need help. they don't have disposable income, they can't afford to rent a hotel, they can't afford to lose a paycheck. these people are struggling but a train disaster, help them out, they are americans. this administration wants to help everybody who isn't an american. when americans are in need they are nowhere to be found. pete buttigieg sent a tweet, show up, 90% of every job is just show up, go see people, look at this crash site with your own eyes. they make decisions from there but show people you care, show that you care by showing up, give a speech, don't tweet about it, speech about it, talk about it but they don't give a damn. stuart: performance is lacking in several respects. president biden snapped at reporters after they asked about his family's business ties to china. >> are you compromise by your family's business? >> president biden: give me a break. >> is there an overreaction? >> president biden: we have more people. stuart: he complains about the po

get ready, karin, you 're moving out of vacation, you'll live while i need it.investigation major melnik hello, tell me, do you remember the robbery of this exchanger last winter. and this is when they tried to rob collectors. yes, i remember i worked, but by the way, i shouldn't have. now, if zhuravleva had not quit. imagine how unlucky i am. and you don’t happen to remember those girls who worked at that time, probably yes. and who do you needed? why katya, according to her passport, ekaterina asked to call herself karina do you happen to know where she lives? address? call the bank, make sure the hr department has her address. good idea thank you i went to the store on the stairs. and he just helped her to pull out the suitcases of the bag. well , well, man, like a man. well, so tall , thin, strong, so strong. and in general, he sat them. and why did you take and sit them , sit them a mile away, i see. or maybe you can tell something else about him, she called him yury. yura says, where are we? rush at her so glared. if you want what happened, yes, it’s a lon

in karine's opening statement, she talked about the humidity in -- the international community's resolve in supporting ukraine for going on a year. wouldn't it be great if the president did not have to make a trip around a one-year anniversary of a war that never should have started? sadly, that is where we are and wants to make sure he is sending a strong message of international resolve and the united states resolve. to make her to the ukrainian people, that the u.s. will stand by them. you know the next weeks and multiple be difficult and critical for their armed forces in the u.s. will continue to stand by them. on your question about president duda and his peace temperatures -- overtures or ideas -- oh, president lula. >> he said he wants to create a group of countries to go to negotiate peace in ukraine and the group according to him would include china, india and other countries. sec. kirby: i would certainly refer to president lula to speak to his ideas. i think in the aggregate, we all would like to see this war and today. would like to see it and right now, in other words witho

reporter: thanks, karine, and congratulations on the next step you're going to take. last week, the federal reserve chairman said covid is, quote, "no longer playing an important role in the economy." is the president going to make that pivot for policies and what not going forward? mr. deese: i think you've heard -- you've heard from the president from this administration that because of the progress we have made on covid, it no longer is holding back our economy and the lives of the american people in the ways that it was, you know, in fundamentally debilitating ways two years ago, three days into administration, when i came to this podium. the reason why we're in this place is in no small part because this president and members of congress worked together to prioritize putting a historic strategy in place to get the country vaccinated and make workplaces safe for people to return. and so i think the fact that we are where we are right now is a testament to the hard work of actually prioritizing getting a plan to get the pandemic under control and certainly, i think

or otherwise we're in dire straights, the american people need to be told, for karine jean-pierre and the rest mocking and saying don't worry about are no ufo's, what do they expects? they are going to be in a vacuum they are creating of information, there will be nonsense filling in no one thinks these are aliens flying around, they know it is the chinese. kennedy: i think it could be could be able yens. -- a alien. i don't think that careen karine jean-pierre is a great messenger, she does tend to blame members of the press we don't have remnants of three other objects they shot out of the sky, we don't know when they are, we should know what they are. information is powerful and the fact that we're able to debate it in this country is really wonderful thing, your thoughts, dear. >> i agree it is important to debate these issues, there are more questions than answers, it seems that last three objects are different from the communist chinese balloon that was shot out of sky last week. or within the last 10 days, i think that it was intentional in terms of shooting it down over open w

thank you, karine, thank you, general. i have a few questions. my understanding is a top officials at the pentagon when asked if they were ruling out any kind of extraterrestrial presence, they said they were not ruling anything out. yet today's briefing -- at today's briefing, karine jean-pierre ruled out any. on the russian ukraine were as we approach the anniversary, at the commencement of the conflict, we heard from the cia director and congressional testimony that president putin had been observed by u.s. officials to have constricted his decision-making circle during the pandemic, that he was making erratic decisions. and these were seen to have played out in what happened on the battlefield. as we approach this year anniversary, what do we observe about president putin's position making now? the caliber of his position making? and also his grip on power in his own country? has any of that changed over the course of the? >> i can't speak to who is advising him and what they are saying. i can't get inside the kremlin incision making process.

i am waiting for your picture , karin, the biggest peak of ardabil province.as sent to the war zones as a guard on duty. when the plane attacked us, i was a veteran's servant until i arrived . i couldn't sleep on my back for ten years . they even told me to sleep on my back. the same situation before you die, i am willing to go to the middle of the region with this condition. during this time, god bless, i slept comfortably for an hour and i heard these wounds in my elbows all over my body. this is how we gave these wounds so that the flag of the islamic republic of iran could be raised. the girl was one year old and her hand he helped me, your finger, help me, why don't you come, i couldn't even move ten centimeters to the cake room, my dad ate a bit of the calendar because of me, he finally came, i said, i'm angry with you, why is the girl with the same child whose finger was left in you helping to march right now? they go and i am proud why

. >> press secretary karine jean-pierre has no answer when asked about the public and with the publicar from the president on this. watch. >> the president is taking this very seriously but we want to make sure american people understand there is no need to panic. >> i have an announcement or anything to preview on a potential remark by the president. what were trying to do is provide as much information as we can. maria: meeting no information senators received a classified briefing yesterday saying they left with more questions than answers. a new report finds a chinese spy flight was tracked by the u.s. census liftoff and watched it for nearly a week joining us with the hot topics all morning long as the wall street journal editorial page editor fox news contributor james freeman poster partners is here leak carter and smb seat economist america first policy senior fellow and former chief economist for the white house national economic council jola warn you. great to see you, thank you for being here. this is extraordinary i don't know how you see it but no comment about three unid

. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you, and so let's get a forecast now from bill karins.good, you're going to have your air conditioner on tomorrow in d.c. it's wild. let's get to the bad stuff. now we're at the peak of this massive winter storm, it's massive in size and intensity. the freezing rain, no one wants to be in freezing rain. you don't want to lose power when it's cold and wet outside. you don't want to drive in it either, slip and falls on the sidewalks and driveways, sending people to the hospital. that's likely from areas north of chicago towards milwaukee up to madison is and all through the southern half of michigan. we've also got a nasty mess of snow, then sleet changing the rain through central pennsylvania. that's treacherous driving too. and that will be heading through new england in the northeast as we go throughout this evening. here's the ice forecast. when you get above a quarter of an inch of ice on trees, that's when they start to snap and break. this area from ke detroit just north of chicago, those are the greatest areas of concern. as far as

the white house briefing, karine jean-pierre is expected to take some pretty tough questions.xpected as the fbi searched the president's rehobeth beach home in delaware. we'll be watching that to begin. >> john: president biden killed the keystone pipeline but a new drilling project in alaska may be on the way. it has plenty of bipartisan support. will climate change activists derail the whole thing? alaskan senator dan sullivan is here to tell us why the project is critical. >> we have an administration so tied to this radical environmental left that they're willing to drive your cost literally through the roof. no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why? type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in ad

i mean, karine jean-pierre with all respect went on another network this weekend and her answers were new information to impart. partially because she was just struggling to form sentences. but i think it's worthwhile for the american people to hear directly from the commander-in-chief about what precisely is happening. the concern is, he doesn't know precisely what is happening yet. we collectively don't know what is happening yet. when they get information we should hear from him. before that, it would just be an exercise in box-checking and we would all be saying what was the point of that? >> bret: we are looking at images, susan, of the recovery of the first spy craft. the balloon and the analysis by that julie woodruff and telemundo. the president seemed to blow it off as far as its significance. you talk to intel officials and they say this is significant that china is this bold. >> it's pretty brazen. i mean, it's not exactly a surprise that china spies on us and we also spy on china but for them to float a balloon over the sensitive military bases is pretty extraordinary. and

many people think that karin got this place only because of her homosexuality and sympathy for the pmdidn't say things like that with the president. i'm sorry , but what is it then? your work you see represents president kamala harris calling for the legalization of marijuana use. we already put in jail, too much colored men. could this be related to her bouts of uncontrollable laughter. x vice-president, by the way, the second person in the state. what can be said about the first? i am a reasonably sane and energetic american politician, at least at the time of my first visit to moscow. we came to tell the supreme council and chairman kosygin about the role of the us senate in concluding the savd-2 treaty. the truth happened. it was back in 1979. since then, joe biden has noticeably passed. i happened to personally meet like this in new york, when he was vice president is a man who has gone through many steps of the hierarchical ladder of american politics. it raises more and more questions even among those who, in general, sympathized with the arrival of the democrats. the appearanc

as we await the white house press briefing we know john kirby will speak as well as karine jean pierre, and china responding to a department of energy report accusing the u.s. of a smear campaign. how should the white house respond a few moments from now. >> that's completely ridiculous. lab leak, as it were, it's a chinese lab, the lab is in china, it's clear now that the chinese regime should be held accountable for the leak itself, the biosecurity and the cover-up which continues to this day. group think, that's the point, is the cover-up that's happened here in america and still going on as you saw from jake sullivan because the question is, not just whether it leaked from the lab, but what it was that leaked and that points back here to america and specifically to dr. anthony fauci, and the reason that no one wants to really tell the truth about this, we laid it all out over two years ago on fox and on my show, is that anthony fauci, a lot of people say how could he possibly be behind this, he's the hero of the pandemic, how could he be the cause of the pandemic. the reason is, th

answers as more information comes out it seems every other day we are more questions than answers, karinenuary 11 talked about the transparency of the white house but i think it's anything but transparent that's where the concerns come from the american voters. we see the hypocrisy, we saw a very different channel of events when it came to classified documents that were found at mar-a-lago. we have our questions and answers. every single day we get new information about the biden documents. maria: this is what's going on with merrick garland he was already to indict donald trump right in the middle of his run for the presidency in 2024. now he has to do backtracking. when you in on what trump did what biden did it seems biden's malfeasance with the documents is much worse. >> donald trump had the documents at a location where the secret service was guarding the location. joe biden's case a corvette was guarding. there's mar-a-lago and kara lago and i'll take mar-a-lago which was more secure. >> hunter biden had access to exposing that and he was at the president these are documents from t

press secretary karine jean-pierre is blaming the gop, though, for the crash.out how now they're interested, all of a sudden they are interested in the safety of east palestine. when they have for years have been in lock step with the retail lobby. maria: more politicking on people's upset. joe pinion, your thoughts? >> the retail lobby, that's interesting. but look, i said don't take our word for it, take a the mayor of palestine's word for it who in a moment of honesty and frustration cited his concern for the fact that the president of the united states saw it more pertinent than flying 90 minutes from d.c. to check on the american citizens left behind with poll lieutenant -- polluted grounds and all manner of chaos and confusion. listen to the people. that's what pete doesn't understand, that's what the president doesn't understand. maria: it's ridiculous to blame the republicans for the train derailment. i want to know specifically how this happened, cheryl. the ntsb chairwoman is saying this disaster the was 100% avoidable. the ntsb released their prelimi

karine jean-pierre said she expects him to address this.idn't, that would be a huge headline, right, karl? >> yeah, absolutely. there's not a lot of good that he can do except to reiterate that he ordered it to be shot down. ordinary people say why didn't we shoot it down over alaska, canada. there's fewer people in alaska than in the city of austin, texas and the state of alaska is bigger than the state of texas. we couldn't we have shot it down there or over international waters or over the thinly populated northern canada. the administration is never going to have a satisfactory answer to people asking that question. >> martha: there's questions that go along that chain. what was the communication between the white house and the governor of alaska, for example? what was the communication between the white house and justin trudeau while it was over canada? the dynamic that changes everything is when this photographer, who used to work for a billings newspaper takes a picture of it out of the sky and notifies the department of defense. so
