following the meeting, secretary austin will participate in a press conference. turning to the middle east, today, u.s. central command forces conducted multiple precision strikes against two iranian-backed houthi underground advanced conventional weapons storage facilities within houthi controlled arias of yemen. the houthi use these to conduct navy ships in the southern red sea and gulf of aden. this is part of the effort to degrade these attempts to threaten regional partners and military and commercial vessels in the region. switching gears, on the transition, the department continues to execute a smooth and professional transition with daily interactions with the president-elect's agency review team, or a.r.t. as of 8:00 a.m. "today," a.r.t. members have parties payed in 106 meetings with d.o.d. officials and the task force has responded to 81 requests for information, r.f.i.'s. finally, there were briefings on the wildfires in california. the department will provide additional fire fighting personnel and capabilities. they are working with the national guar

if it's about real nazis and real fashion, who take the streets in australia, then of course the austin police is doing nothing. and um, also, or government is doing nothing because these people seem to be, of course, in the eyes of deals for governments. the good fashion seems to be actually supporting the costs of the west of the united states and of the european union in the wall for ukraine. and i think does this trust the a good example for the double standards of the west and especially of the political high populace view of deals through the government. when it comes to the sol called on fights against the ex, from is now i want to show you this as well. following the raleigh level of the city public decorations where funds analyzed. a 19 year old mine was film cutting the power cables of a large little menorah. it was later detained by local police. we got reaction from holiday journalism. former idea of them are, you actually fall through the the how much we split it in the movie landscape. and it keeps saying all the time, no, not see the new claim. well, no, it's not saving y

yeah. across none of those 3 countries that you mentioned are in austin. i suggest you do a little homework before you prepare for these types of uh, negotiations slips and there's been a ceasefire announced in gaza before we all celebrate the whole got. obviously, we're all going to want to see how all that execute. we don't know yet for sure, but there are opportunities available now in the middle east that did not exist 90 days ago. whether it's what's happened in lebanon, whether it's what's happened in syria, whether it's what hopefully will happen with this cease fire and the release of, of hostages after horrifying detention and unjustifiable actions. 5 by him off. whether it's any of the c, things are all in combination. there are now factors of play in the middle east that i think we can build upon and they open the door to extraordinary and historic opportunities. if i am attorney general, i will not politicize that office. i will not target people simply because of their political affiliation. justice will be administered even handedly throughou

fascinating story about not only tulsi gabbard and sean penn, but also austin tice.7, a member of representative gabbard's traveling party was led by the syrian regime to meet an american prisoner who that colleague of miss gabbard, later identified as austin tice, the missing american journalist who was abducted near damascus in 2012. >> this report became a thread of intelligence that ultimately reached the trump administration's lead hostage negotiator. a couple of years later, it was explored. but it's just remarkable that miss gabbard didn't know about it at the time. according to our reporting, she was told about it a couple of years later. but a spokeswoman for her denied that she'd received this information, that she'd received actionable intelligence. otherwise she would have acted on it. so it's sort of emblematic of the world of intelligence that she would have to sift through if she were confirmed to be the director of national intelligence. >> well, and what is would be so surprising to many. shocking to so many is the fact that that sighting and that in

and austin isn't alone. in fact, 28% of college aged adults are going booze free entirely. >> i just want to keep going and see where this where this takes me. i had no idea there were so many people doing it. it's a movement. it's something. and people are are really into it because of that. >> our thanks there to will ganzer. so many benefits of dry january including improved sleep, more energy, weight loss, lower blood pressure. there's where's the drawback? >> yeah, it's already january 7th. it's okay if you've slipped up a couple times. that's right. you still have a few more weeks of january. and hopefully like they said, the momentum keeps going. >> that's what it's all about. >> okay. coming up the airbnb just for pizza lovers like us. the mix is next. you're watching >> is your shower trying to tell you something is getting in and out of the bathtub becoming a safety concern? are you worried about the cost of a bathroom remodel that could go on for weeks and weeks? well, now you can have a gorgeous

it's a mind-boggling situation. >> reporter: for austin and his friends it now feels like their whole childhoods are gone. >> the village we knew is done. everything we liked got completely wiped out. we were going on instagram and twitter and you see our high school in flames. our football field's in flames. like it's unbelievable. >> reporter: and another worry -- the lack of water. multiple residents told us the firefighters had nothing in the hydrants for hours. >> the fire hydrant outside my house, and it wasn't working. like at all. the firefighters can't magically put the fire out. they need something to put it out. >> reporter: lindsay horvath, supervisor for the palisades, says she, too, is frustrated. what do you say to a homeowner who says the hydrant in front of my house had no water in it as my home burned? >> well, the city resources are -- they'll be looking at how these city fire hydrants continue to be managed, and with the unified command when the county comes in we're able to bring additional resources into the area. >> that was tony dokoupil reporting. >>> coming u

secretaries panetta, hagel, carter, mattas, hes per, and awes -- hes per, and austin. i didn't always agree with them, but they all had the qualifications and temperament for secretary of defense, so i supported their nominations. but mr. hegseth chose not to meet with me nor any other senate democrats except the ranking member, jack reed, and he broke with strong, long-standing tradition to ensuring our work on national security remains free from partisanship, and i think that's the important point. we are stronger as senators, as congress, as a nation, if we are acting together. the committee, unfortunately, was not afforded the opportunity to ask a number of rounds of questions, and so there are a number of questions about his views, particularly regarding foreign policy and military policy, that we did not get an answer to. i've become the ranking member on the foreign relations committee, and so i'm very concerned about the role of the united states in the world. i think the american people expect transparency regarding mr. hegseth's ability to stand by our allies

if you look at the president biden not having meetings with yellen or austin, couldn't even call the president during afghanistan. they are canceling meeting and compare it to trump. executive office, eo signings. in front of the resolute desk while doing press conferences. such a juxtaposition in six days' time. >> dana: president trump sent to sign an order reinstating soldiers who lost their jobs for refusing the covid vaccine and not all he is doing. >> sandra: the senate is plowing ahead on confirming the president's cabinet. some of this week's nominees could face pushback. >> i expect most, if not all of them to be confirmed. why? number one, the president is dug in like a tick and he wants these people. number two, you have to remember these confirmation hearings matter. i retouched all my wedding photos, and it was even affecting my health. i trusted you because you specialize in dental implants. you created a permanent solution and customized my teeth so it still felt like me. my new teeth have improved my life and changed my future. - thank you. - you're so welcome. get th
