cia william byrne will say not in the know, we are also rapidly increasing our budget for cia activities, we are significantly increasing the number of posts abroad focused on china, just as we did it by soviet specialists during the cold war, the main springboard. of course, the american congressmen landed there recently under the leadership of the head of the senate committee on foreign relations, bob minendez . expressed senator lindsey uah. we'll make china pay a big price for what they're doing supporting putin has to come at a price. graham is a republican. much closer to trump than to biden, however, both in taiwan and in ukraine in the united states, a two-party consensus has long been reached and washington is afraid of joint actions between moscow and beijing. like fire all these two, like siamese twins, chinese technology, combined with russian resources. this has always been the greatest threat to the united states and the entire free world. they work shoulder to shoulder with those who remained in america and those who flew in to taiwan from beijing they responded to a sudde

the former presidents fringe allies, people like phil waldron, sydney powell, michael flynn, patrick byrne. people who are actively visiting president trump in the oval office, who were trying to get on his desk proposals to put the president to invoke extraordinary measures using his presidential powers, to really strong-arm his way to overturn the results of the election. that included trying to leverage government agencies to conduct investigations into, quote unquote, foreign interference. all of this bolstered by fraudulent claims. it wasn't just marjorie taylor greene. as she indicated that text, some members, fellow republicans, agreed with this plan that was being proposed and sent to mark meadows, after the insurrection that had already killed six people and injured hundreds. some of which, those police officers are still actively recovering from their injuries today, and i think my last point is what's most shocking about all this, those members are still doubling down on those plans. even though they were again, bolstered by unsubstantiated claims. scott perry told us today that

could be a response to that, striking lviv so close to poland, then you have cia director william byrne is saying that the u.s. cannot take lately the possibility that putin will use nuclear weapons. discussions on putin's use of nukes, possible use of nukes, comes in waves, we focus on it and then it tends to go away. what is it like in ukraine right now? how concerned are people about that possibility? >> first of all, i want to show you this train is passing by, show your active this really is, as far as the possibility of nuclear weapons, lenski, the president, the possible use nuclear weapons, we all know that is the greatest height of any type of weaponry, whether or not that is going to happen, i could not tell you, bg repeated, absolutely on people's minds, carley. >> todd: matt, it started to put on the spot, tough to shoot see from that chart, is there anybody on the strains? >> people on these trains, passenger train, there are people on there. you have to imagine that this facility here, probably on edge or fully aware that they were close to a railway, a large target, i sti

i very much agree with director byrne's testimony.e its old position on china to this new approach. the way the silent partnership is unfolding has to do with the chinese mandarin phrase, i love to teach you. it means a kind of deception maneuver that splits the difference so you have the term silent partner director burns is using. but what that means is, china wants to help russia but in kind of a subliminal way if you will. that they can deny to the rest of the world that they are in collusion for the aggression for the invasion of ukraine. they want to do it quietly. it really test our intelligence collection capabilities. because whether or not china's underlying these sanctions is a huge issue. that would be done in a clandestine way for the not going to openly say we are helping russia invade ukraine. they abstain and vote at the un for the put out these comments like at that munich security form, chinese foreign minister was saying we respect to chart territorial integrity of countries, ukraine is a special problem he said so

call from four days after the insurrection and it backs up reporting from "the new york times" alex byrnes a source says mccarthy tried to do some damage control last night. he spoke with trump after the release of the bombshell reporting. we're told the president is not upset with the house republican leader who has stayed very hard to stay in trump gaze graces over the last year. let's dig in with our team. is this going to hurt mccarthy or not? >> i think it might. there is still a possible. there are a lot of republicans in his conference who don't like him very much. and don't think that he is particularly effective and don't think that he is particularly loyal to former president trump. and there's one thing this tape shows, it is that mccarthy's support for trump right now is opportunistic. and that is obvious. but now there's proof. and i think this only gives them more ammunition to, when the time comes, which is frankly, not right now. when the time comes, make a case against him. there are some other. more trumpy people who want to be, you know, first in line for the speakership

fox weather katie byrne shows us it looked more like winter than spring, a strong nor'easter, leavingundreds of thousands without power here in broome county, new york, officials say it could take days to restore the electricity. the dangerous conditions knocked over trees and forced the county to issue a temporary travel ban. crews are now out surveying the damage. everything just butted so an extra weight on the trees, you know, and with the weight of the snow to snap branches and tops upstate new york and northeastern pennsylvania, saw the most snow with up to a foot falling in some areas. well along the coast. periods of heavy rain caused streets to flood would have to move our cars all the time, so they will be doing that now they'll be moving them out to like the main streets and washed away dunes at new jersey shore points places for people to go so less places are set the winter like conditions stretching across the country about 40 million people from the central plains to the mid atlantic were under frost and freeze alerts tuesday morning in detroit, minnesota, people are sh
