political commentator scott benness says that jla terrorist group which conducts terror acts against iran is backed by the us. well it was listed on uh when i was at the state department coordinator for counter terrorism, it was listed as a terrorist group, it's notorious for its uh killing of policeman at border crossings, it's been backed by the us of course, even though us listed it as a terrorist organization, so it's it's simply separatist group that is used as a cat's paw by the west in its ongoing uh attempt to uh take take iran apart, cause ak, a color revolution, which it's been trying to pursue for decades, the same thing they've tried to do with russia, of course, but which has failed. iran's defense minister says that his country defends its borders and people in the face of terrorist threats while respecting other countries sovereignty and rights. we respect all countries sovereignty interest. laws on territorial integrity, especially those of our neighbors, but we will not accept any evil deeds on our borders under any circumstances and will definitely confront with the

scott ben at scott is good to have you join me right now. friends has refused to hold an emergency un secure to cancel a meeting about the russian same price. why will that make this decision? what's your assessment? because francis, obeying it's masters, it wants to continue importing bray cheese and cheap wine into the united states and getting c i a funds to do so. so it will do whatever divided the ministration commands france to do commands germany, to do despite blowing up their nord stream pipeline commands britain to do so. it's very sad. it shows you that the united nations and the united nations security council really doesn't have humanity in their best interest. certainly is not a force of equilibrium and balance and justice. because how else could you not have a emergency meeting to discuss this unless you were advancing of the agenda of psychological war, kinetic, or economic war and diplomatic war against russia? and this is one of the, the leverage points. so russia showed, of course, be doggedly pursuing all of this to be known. russia, of course, should print out the

building tense, keep boston and his position according to the white house or the we spoke with a scott, ben, it's a for me, us on the officer who says that could be most of the story. as well as a former united states army officer who l. a top secret clearance i can tell you. ready without violating any security codes that the secretary of defense and the high ranking officers, independent, gone, are intimately connected every day with the personnel of the state department, the c i a, the f, b i. the national security council, the director of national intelligence in the white house. there is no way that the senior officer in charge of the secretary of defense dependent gone, would have any health issue that would suspend his service of duties. that the people in the white house or the state department wouldn't know what know and know about if he so much is stuck to his toe or broke his finger. it would reverberate throughout the intelligence community. as a warning that alternative plans may need to be developed it's, it's called alternative means of government because there always have to

tim scott, ben carson would be just -- that that's not a thing. so, that is fine.t where the country is, and feel good about the republican party, feel good about a vice president, tim scott would be that person. >> he is like the antidote to, -- it didn't work for desantis the woke politics, and culture wars, but tim scott can be kind of an antidote. he can say i'm a black man, so how can he be racist, that kind of. saying >> the faith narrative and religious background is very appealing. >> and if he recall, when he was running one of the big lines that stands up, we are going to be victorious, we will not be victims. i think he will sort of be able to play off donald trump's, being victims, and focusing more -- on >> could you imagine waking up every morning with donald trump texting you is what he wanted to do that day, could you imagine? the. >> trump ramaswamy, there you have it. >> when affair that's been last seven. days >> it feels like three a.m. right now everyone starting to dream. >>> up next, some of the struggles in a previous races, will it make a d

scott creek 745, ben lowman 686. the three areas that we thought would take the most rain cazadero russian river , mount tamalpais, and the santa cruz mountains. and that's exactly what happened there might have been lesser amounts for some to the east, but the hills definitely took the brunt of this. 733 for mount tamalpais , san anselmo, kentfield konocti , santa rosa, yountville and fremont, all between two and a third and 5.67 other totals. i try and get as many in as i can. atherton and sonoma, both with an inch and 93/100. oakland 1.90 . napa an inch and three quarters. san jose had really good rain this morning, 1.68 brentwood an inch and a half vallejo an inch and a half and san francisco 1.40. looks like it's moved into the santa clara valley, morgan hill, san martin, gilroy, but a little let up there for the santa cruz mountains. but here comes the next batch right there. look at that. so there you go. richmond. oakland san francisco, south san francisco. so we're not done yet. there's still more rain and t

laura scott, bbc news. benis weekend and saracens hooker jamie george will captain england for the first time, replacing owen farrell. speaking from the sides�* camp in giron, he spoke to our rugby correspodent chrisjones about how he's taken note of the england cricket's teams approach under ben stokes and brendan mccullum, and how he'll try to adapt that during his captaincy. i'm not saying were going to go all out on attack, but what i am saying is ben stokes talks about expressing themselves and the fact that their entertainers, that is something in the forefront of our mind. especially at the minute, it's how we can put smiles on peoples faces, how we can bring twickenham back to being that porter is that we wanted to be and that's is definitely part of the conversation we're having at the minute. it is something i feel very comfortable doing. in terms of style, i'm a people person, i care about relationships, i care about people loving their time playing for england. i've been on a roller—coaster ride. fo

scott, jenna and ben, the largest religious structure in the world, according to guinness world recordsditerranean island of cypress. along the bottom you have taken our mug to new depths. maureen, dan, wendy, carlton and aaron are under water in the dutch caribbean island celebrating years of cuba diving friendship. ben is high above the water on the falls, a natural phenomenon made up of 275 individual water falls. what a great shot. and sydney, monica, roxanne and erica along with a kuala friend in australia. you keep raising the bar. is space travel next? send us a photo of you and your mug with the #sundaytoday. you might see yourself next week. thank you for spending part of your morning with us. we'll see you right back here next week on "sunday today." >>> good morning. it is sunday, january 21st, 7:00. a live look outside. wow, looks nice over the

tim scott also, whether or not you're talking to people in trump orbit, you'd probably know this better than i, but people talk about ben carson, and they talk about tim scott for vice president of the united states. those are some of the favorites that are floating. what does tim scott do? it really is a death nail to nikki haley if she does well in new hampshire and then tim takes the wind out of her sails like that. you have to think about their history. she's the person who appointed him to the united states senate. so it's a very close relationship. we go back to 2010 when tim got elected to the state house. we were all in the state house together. so that's a very fascinating diementalic. but he is that evangelical. he does speak to what the future of the republican party hopes to be. he is a conservative. he does have opportunity zones and he can talk about issues that matter. he supports donald trump, i think it's over already, but you can start packing up the bus. >> if we go back to 2016, the jeb bush campaign loathed marco rubio for the shear audacity of run ning. that same dynamic was true with the haley and

probably a good moment for tim scott in his race against ben carson or representative stefanik or sarahkabee sanders who are probably frontrunners for the vice president. but it made my stomach curl a bit. >> and almost got senator scott's reaction to what donald trump said. because he said i love you. i think he said more like i loooove you and almost gave him a hug. but it shows the lengths that he is going to to impress donald trump. and you think about what are the qualifications he is looking at for someone in the vp pick. he said he's made up his mind but the team has to make a team decision. his qualifications are not about your experience or your qualifications or your background. it is about loyalty to donald trump. those are the top credentials for him. and he wants someone that is out there that is out there and impresses him but will not overshadow him. so you have to find that fine line to make sure that you are making an impression on him, that you won't steal his shine. and tim scott i think will help in some ways. you have to look at donald trump, how is he going to appe

scott creek, 2000ft elevation. santa cruz mountains 7.45 ben lowman almost seven inches of rain. how about mount tamalpais? 7.39. they were the leader early, but cazadero came in and it looks like they'll be the winner on the most amounts. but still, san anselmo. almost six inches of rain. penngrove five and three quarters cobb mountain picked up five and a third in lake county. san rosa that's just north of town. three inches yountville. 2.60 and fremont two, and a third there. locations had pretty good rain, close to two here for atherton, sonoma, castro valley 1.92, oakland 1.91. san jose had a really good rain this morning. 1.68 brentwood, an inch and a half. vallejo in there in san francisco so far since friday, 1.44. that was the heavy rain in the santa cruz mountains. it was coming down in buckets there. now it's pushed off into the santa clara valley. we'll see a couple of these rounds coming through today. i think we'll get a break tonight. tomorrow one more system on wednesday. but i'll tell you the there's a lot coming across the pacific here. the next couple of system

ben carson's run. >> i disagree. >> scott brought up a good point, chris christie is the thought was that chris christie gets out of the race and nikki haley's got a magic carpet ride to victory and new hampshire. and one or chris chris cookies thinking, ship i wish i had stayed in. she is not. >> all this discussion know about the other panel and so on, all the discussion about why don't people stand up to trump and so on, i think people should stand up to trump. i think he deserves to be challenged on some of the very serious things that he's done, but chris christie is a symbol in some ways, an emblem to those people. asa hutchinson who fell in the woods like a tree falling in the night, last night in iowa has withdrawn from the race. all of the people who challenge trump have now disappeared. that is his power within the republican party, there is a pretty good argument that we'll, leaders have to lead. and leaders need to stand up and that was arguably that christy made. it is not a winning formula for ambitious -- >> christy wanted to his fight wasn't new hampshire, and i think now he might be thi

far, keeping in mind that we may see a little bit more ben loman in the santa cruz mountains since friday, almost seven inches of rainfall, scottreek in the santa cruz mountains, almost 7.5in. so quite a bit of rain out there. and as we talked about at the top of the hour, we do have a flood advisory, a watch for areas of the north bay from the coast. our valleys are hills and that sliver. there is actually a warning for areas closer to guerneville. this is going to go until 4:00 this afternoon. it includes windsor as well as grayton as well. so we do have some low lying flooding going on out there. you need a reminder. just be careful. el alameda county. this one little stretch just south of sunol. also with an advisory for a little bit longer as we back up just a bit here, here's a look again at the four hour time lapse where all thatrillionain pushed through. but at this time a few sprinkles a possibility. still, as we roll through your monday. but that steady rain is moving east and out of the area as we get into the sierra, though the snow here continues with advisory that go until 10:00 this evening for the west slope and

ben carson out in urbandale, iowa, which is west des moines. evidence was out campaigning for donald trump yesterday. >> ainsley: or tim scott.sn't endorsed anyone yet and they are about to go to south carolina. >> one of his top aides was asked by the "new york times" last night chris la is a vida, who is the vice president? he said all i know is what i just heard. we know his friends have suggest audit woman to help him win back black suburban women who voted for joe biden. also, one of the other thinking is, perhaps, a person of color to build on the gains he made with black hispanic men. >> ainsley: nome as the favorite kristi noem as the governor of south dakota. followed by elise stefanik who you interviewed yesterday who said i would be happy to help the president in anyway. vivek ramaswamy comes in after that. nancy mace being floated. tim scott like we mentioned. i wonder if it's going to be someone who is running against him or if it will be a governor or a lee zeldin type? >> steve: somebody to help him. >> brian: other thing i thought was important he said last night. the sarcastic way he answered -- the funny way

ben loman coming in just shy of a seven inches. and i have seen some areas in over santa cruz, including scotts creek, where we have seven inches andle peak in the north bay more than seven inches, and a half, mount diablo, the inner east bay three inches and almost 4/10, and the showers continue out there. so we are picking up just a little bit more. before all said and done. if we squeeze in a little bit closer, we have, uh, several storm reports just in the last 24 hours, counting at least about 50 from this vantage point here, anywhere from like emeryville reporting eastbound 50 water across all lanes, trees down over the santa cruz mountains. several reports of that, as well as flooding and back here to guerneville where, yeah, localized flooding going on here as well, even some folks deciding to evacuate from their homes because of the flooding that's going on there. the rain will continue into the evening hours. we have it widespread right now over areas of the north bay. saw a lightning strike near santa cruz a little while ago, so perhaps a thunderstorm there. and the advisory for travel in the sierra has been allowed to e
