guest: one of the names is jake sullivan. jake sullivan was the top foreign advisor for the clinton campaign. he is the top national security advisor for the biden administration. he has been in the crosshairs of conservatives for a while, especially after afghanistan and the withdrawal there. what has come out in this trial and before the sussman trial, he had put out a statement saying to the effect that it is only a matter of time before the fbi starts looking into the trump alpha bank allegations. he put out a statement, i believe it was on halloween before the election in 2016, promoting the alpha bank allegations. there is a lot of of people in conservative media who want room to take a look at jake sullivan's role in promoting this allegation, the fact it was debunked. we will see. if durham does decide to go down that road, it is going to be interesting. that is going to be the closest durham gets to the biden white house and is going to ramp up pressure from the white house on attorney general merrick garland shut th

we just learned from jake sullivan the president will not visit the d.m.z. when he visits korea.ow is headed to the biggest loss in years going back to 2020. lauren joining us to make sense of the selloff. >> it's hard to make sense, good to see you, gillian. this is inflation completely unmanageable. both for the company, big ones, like walmart and target, the news we got yesterday and today, but also for the consumer. j.p. morgan says it's entirely conceiveable that gas prices, we are complaining about now could hit $6 as the national average by august. so, it seems like things are getting worse. costs are going up, rates are going up, and profits for companies going down, targets, profits in the first three months of the year, and stock prices going down in a big way, guys. >> gillian: thanks for jumping in and giving us the low down. >> john: clearly the dow was listening to lauren, it lost known 50% on the air. r.n.c. chair woman what she sees as an opening for republicans. many democrats are sweating, dow, supply chain, and now the democrats are getting ready to roll out a

national security advisor, jake sullivan, said that they could be poised to test a long- range missile, nuclear device, or both. it could come around joe biden's upcoming visit to south korea and japan. the five day trip will start on friday before going to tokyo. sullivan said the u.s. is preparing for all contingencies, including the possibility of a provocation while joe biden is in south korea or japan. the news agency said that south korean and u.s. authorities have learned that north korea is injecting fuel into an intercontinental ballistic missile. >>> japan's air defense force carried out a drill on thursday to deploy interceptor missiles. six large vehicles carry radar and mobile systems to intercept a ballistic missile if the destroyers failed to shoot them down. officials say they are conducting deployment drills across the country. >> south korea's new president has barely been in office for a week. he is facing his first big foreign policy test. he is due to be meeting with the president for pressing issues. the did ask an expert what we can expect at the summit. >>> firs

we heard from national security adviser jake sullivan saying that they are preparing for all contingencies should there be a launch or even anunder ground nuclear test. clearly north korea was going to be high up on the agenda anyway when it came to the meeting between the u.s. president and the new south korean president. north korea has a way of making sure that it is top of the agenda. they have had a remarkable year, 15 missile launches so far. kim. >> thanks so much, paula. apologize the audio was a bit off there. so kevin, let's go to you now. it has taken president biden a while as we said to make his first asian trip of his presidency. so take us through what you are expecting to see and hear. >> reporter: yeah, i think president biden would have liked to travel to asia a little sooner in his presidency just like his most predecessors did. but he was hampered by the restrictions around the coronavirus pandemic. and he was hampered by the crisis in ukraine which is consuming so much of his time and attention. but now the president really wants to come here to reaffirm the importance

from a strategic point of view, it will not stop the military assistance that we provide, said jake sullivannted to ask mr. volodymyr, how do you actually ask one of the heads of the ministry of internal affairs a question or are you still in touch, is there one denysenko is gone, did you scare him with his question about jake sally, she well, in fact, it is not possible to comment on the supply of weapons , so ask about the video recording system on ukrainian roads, which began working on may 16 and records the movement of all cars in the online mode including the weapons of fuel tankers and other strategic goods coming from the western border and the russians in the case of there. well, if they hack this system, they can easily monitor online to see which weapons are going where trucks, what kind of gas trucks, where exactly are they moving in your life? they even hack the election system of the leading democracies of the world and interfere in the elections, why should they hack our system, video recording from the recording of the ministry of affairs of ukraine and see what weapons, wher

. >> this comes as national security adviser jake sullivan says there is a possibility that north korea could carry out either a missile test or a nuclear test while the president is in the region. with us now to talk about this, nbc news chief white house correspondent, peter alexander, with the president in south korea. we have nbc news washington correspondent and moderator of "walk week" on pbs and director of the asia program at the wilson center and a former director for korea, japan and oceanic affairs. the president visited this samsung plant. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: well, the president is here as part of a five-day tour. he'll be in south korea for a few days before he heads off to japan and really i think in many ways this is an effort for the president to demonstrate that while much of his attention has been focused on what's taking place in eastern europe with the war in ukraine, that the u.s.'s relations with its allies here remain strong. south korea, japan and others, and a chance to buttress the rise of china right now. so as you noted, the presiden

. >> laura: they put out another statement after the phone call with jake sullivan.r about taiwan. our concern about taiwan's independence is driving the relationship into the toilet. it's like a dog, with a bone. >> putin is saying you are forcing me to invade ukraine. the biden administration feats needs to understand china is making these preparations. it's fine for jake sullivan to say this would be a wonderful world if we all get together. >> laura: what was the reaction to let's all hug it out? he sees the biden team walk into that room for the first time? >> he saw the debacle in afghanistan and this ukraine. look, the united states is a strong country, but it's not led by someone who wants to defend itself. china is looking at they can do what they want. >> laura: and the lockdowns that have gotten covered in the u.s. media. that's not as bad as any number of christians at a megachurch during covid. they were a big threat to the united states. the lockdown is still going on. it's still happening. >> they talked about a pathway to ending the restrictions. they

it is fine for jake sullivan to say there should beit a wonderfl world if we all get together.ond that point. >> laura: we are the world come by hugio it out kind of thing. he sees the biden team walk into that room for the first time. >> what he sees as the debacle inac afghanistan and the debacle in ukraine and the failure of deterrence. he is thinking, look, the united states is a strong country but not led by someone who wants to defend itself. so, therefore, what they are looking at in china is they can do what they want. >> laura: and the shanghai lockdown, gordon, which has gotten covered more than -- i'm actually surprised to much it has gotten covered in the u.s. media. look, that is not as bad as any number of christians that some mega-church during covid, they were the big threat to the united states. that lockdown in shanghai, 25 million people still going on. it comes slowly, receding and it is still happening.nd >> they talk about a pathway to ending the restrictions but they have been talking three weeks of venting restrictions.io i think they are serious this ti

so earlier today, the white house national security adviser, jake sullivan, talked about how they are missile test to an underground nuclear test. they are ready, they say, for whatever may come while the president is either traveling or in the region. here's a bit more of what jake sullivan had to say. >> we are preparing for all contingencies, including the possibility that such a provocation would occur while we're in korea or in japan. we're coordinating closely with our allies in both korea and japan on this. we have spoken with counterparts in china. i spoke with my chinese counterpart this morning, and we are prepared to make shorter and longer term adjustments to our military posture as necessary to insure that we are providing both defense and deterrent to our allies in the region and we're responding to any north korean provocation. >> adjustment of u.s. military posture in the region, well, look, since earlier this year, when north korea conducted previous tests, including an attempted icbm launch, the pentagon increased intelligence collection and readiness of u.s. ballist

let's start with the national security adviser, jake sullivan, on what a potential icbm test would mean. >> well, most certainly it would be an enormous rallying cry to the entire world that clearly this is a threat to the united states, south korea, obviously, japan, and its allies. in fact, i don't want to be misunderstood, but it might work to the advantage in the sense that it does sort of gather all of the global concerns that have recently been, frankly, focused on ukraine and russia about north korea's nuclear programs. >> do you think kim is potentially just flexing a muscle as a threat, or as some analysts have suggested, that maybe this is to get the u.s.'s attention because maybe he wants to pick up these stalled talks that dropped off several years ago? >> well, most certainly this is always -- any of these tests are attempts for kim jong-un to flex his muscles. but remember that the north koreans have to keep testing in order to advance their programs, and the test itself would be an indication that the regime is absolutely intent on growing and expanding its existing capab

earlier this week, national security adviser jake sullivan said the u.s. is prepared to take further steps should they carry out this west or even more provocative, an underground test. not imminent but just as urgent. >> good to see you. thank you for that. joining me for more on this very important trip, is former commander of u.s. command and former ambassador to south korea. good to see you, admiral. thank you for being here. >> good morning. >> jeremy diamond noted this. president biden said today that the alliance between the u.s. and south korea and the way he put it is the linchpin of peace, prosperity and security for the region and the world. how important do you view this trip in this moment? >> i think it's a very important trip. and i think at the moment is the time at hand. this is the president's first trip to asia. and he's making the point that he is going to visit two key allies in east asia. south korea and japan. i think he's going to be there to reinforce our alliances with these two countries. he wants to bolster south korea's willing

and we have a shot of that tweet that hillary clinton put out on jake sullivan's memo trying to connectpha bank and russia dealings. devin, jump in here. i remember week after week having you on this program throughout 2017, 2018 and 2019, and you would say, look, we're asking for these documents, they're sitting on it, they're slow-walking it. >> right. maria: and we covered it every week. >> and we still, we find out today that kash just pointed out, these are documents that they clearly hid from congress. so right there, you know, what we know today from during the ham if i was still there, we would have more criminal referrals to durham base with the on lying and misleading congress. why does this matter to the american people, right? we're four, five years after the fact that this all started. well, this is a dark chapter of american history, for sure. but here, it's a slippery slope, right? in '15, '16 you have the clinton campaign, dnc, hay concoct this working with doj, fbi, the obama administration, but the media gives them a pass because they said, well, it's just donald trump

they say, according to jake sullivan, that there is a plan in place, that they would carry out some kind of response to show their resolve on the south korean and the u.s. side. we don't know what that would be at this point. but i must stress, it would be truly remarkable if north korea did decide to carry out a nuclear test or some kind of missile test, certainly an icbm, if a u.s. president was actually in the country or in japan, where he's heading to next. as far as can i remember, that simply has not happened up until this point. quite often, north korea has carried out some kind of test juf before or just after any kind of presidential trip, but for it to happen while joe biden is here would be quite surprising. but we have seen what has already been quite surprising, the performance from north korea this year, january is in the record books for the sheer number of missile launches. we have had 15 missile launches so far this year. we have had an icbm already, that was the first time in about five years. so, north korea is clearly pushing ahead with its weapons and missile testing

we've heard from the national security adviser jake sullivan, he said that they are preparing for all contingencies, that they do have a genuine possibility that there could be some kind of missile test while president biden is here or after he is here. now, it would be remarkable because the fact is that there hasn't been a north korean missile or weapons test or underground nuclear test while a u.s. president has been in country. that would be a first. and certainly we're hearing from the white house as well through jake sullivan that they do have contingency plans in place, they have spoken to their allies and have a plan if this were to happen. position we've been hearing that they believe that there could be an underground nuclear test, seventh but potentially not imminent while president biden is here. >> that would be notable. thank you for that. >>> back home to the story top of mind for so many american families, the biden administration says that it has secured its first batch of baby formula from overseas. how the administration plans to distribute it once it receives it, s

then clinton aid, now current white house national security adviser, jake sullivan said in a statementhat same day, secret hotline may be the key to unlocking the mystery of trump's ties to russia. now, bret, before mook testified, former fbi general counsel james baker finished his third day on the stand. the key prosecution witness different things to different people on the record about if sussmann was representing a client when he came forward and that may be an uphill battle for special counsel john durham's team and, bret, wrapping it up late this afternoon, it was revealed sussmann met with the cia in february 2017, that's after the election to continue pushing that russia bank story the trial will continue on monday and we will be there, bret? >> bret: okay, david, thank you. let's bring in george washington university law school professor jonathan turley. jonathan, thanks for being here tonight. >> thank you. >> bret: i want to get your thoughts on this case. you know, there may not be a lot of people other places that are following it we are following it closely from the begi

national security advisor jake sullivan says look, there is a vaccine for this.supply of vaccine. the u.s. can deemploy-- deploy if necessary it is a very small outbreak, at this point if is unlikely to become a pub leg health concern but the white house wants to show they are on top of it. >> duncan: kristen aye ruffini concerned about that weather behind you. >> a little windy, thank you. >> duncan: even with his eye on domestic concern this weekend president biden has been focused on america's interest in asia. tonight the president is in tokyo and that is where we find our cbs news senior foreign correspondent elizabeth palmer. >> air force one landed smoothly at yokota, the big air base near tokia that america shares with japan. president biden emerged to a warm welcome by japan's foreign minister who represents the government keen to strengthen ties with the u.s. both commercial and military. roughly 55,000 u.s. forces are currently stationed in japan. we joined the third battalion second marines on the island of okinawa in the rain for a training exercise.

again, i think he got out in front of jake sullivan, his national security team and certainly the nationalyou know, i think sometimes speaking frank and straightforward is a good foreign diplomacy, foreign policy. china needs to understand what's at stake and that there will be consequences, right? he needs to hear this. >> so it's interesting, given where you are right now, you are in davos for the world economic forum where president zelenskyy just addressed the forum there. and you served as our photographer, our man on the scene there. after president zelenskyy spoke he received a standing ovation from everyone but according to this picture you took the chinese delegation. explain to us what you saw. >> they were sitting right behind me, you know, zelenskyy gave as always a very powerful speech talking about brute force and time is of the essence and pulling the international community together to rally behind him. standing ovation after his speech with the exception of the chinese delegation who sat down through the entire standing o and then they proceeded to walk out after that pict

stephen: absolutely and that call between jake sullivan and the national to the white house and -- hetop diplomat in china. essentially a state media read out from that phone call between those two gentlemen ahead of bidens visit to the asia-pacific. essentially said that the u.s. side insist on playing the taiwan card and goes further and further down the wrong road, it will certainly lead to a dangerous situation. of course biden is not going to china on this trip, but china will be the backdrop of almost every discussion. haidi: our chief north asian correspondent stephen engle there with a preview of that. coming up next, we see the so-called growing influence of independence in australia's elections. well-funded women taking on male liberal candidates. in the country's wealthiest suburbs. we will be speaking with the former deputy lord mayor next. this is bloomberg. >> we are seeing policy reform in this election. >> playing the long came with the country, focusing on the development of skills. also trying to track the right skills to complement our to mastic skills. >> back in t

jake sullivan said there is a vaccine for this. there's a supply of vaccine the u.s. can deploy if necessary. it's a very small outbreak. it's unlikely to become a public health concern. the white house wants to show they're on top of it. >> christina. concerned about the weather. >> reporter: little windy. we'll get there. >> thank you. >>> even with his eye on domestic concerns this weekend, president biden has been focused on america's interests in asia. tonight the president is in tokyo and that's where we find our cbs news senior foreign correspondent elizabeth palmer. >> reporter: air force one landed smoothly near tokyo at the airbase. president biden emerged to a warm welcome by japan's foreign minister who represents a government keen to strengthen ties with the u.s. both commercial and military. roughly 55,000 forces are concernedly stationed in japan. we joined the third battalion second marines on the island of okinawa for a training exercise. the enemy sneaking up on these defenders are fellow marines but this is a serious rehearsal for what they consider

the national security advisor jake sullivan said the administration is confident the process will go ahead. >> we are confident that at the end of the day finland and sweden will have a succession process. finland and sweeting are working directly with them, but we are also talking to the turks to facilitate. i spoke with secretary blinken who is meeting with his counterpart as we speak, in new york. and we feel very good about where this will track two. >> here is more from washington. >> joe biden believes that nato will be stronger. he thinks it will send a very clear message to russia and to others, thinking that russia's plan and attacking ukraine was to try the week in nato, believing some nato members simply wouldn't follow the u.s. lead. in joe biden is essentially pointing to the fact that nato could become stronger with an expanded membership because of what has happened in ukraine. he put out a statement in the last few hours saying that he is looking forward to welcoming the leaders of finland and sweden to the white house. adding that the united states is firmly committe

national security adviser jake sullivan, he downplayed comments from beijing that warned the u.s. against using the taiwan card in further talks. sullivan says they've offered what the white house is calling a formula to defuse tensions over taiwan but added that it was really on china to dial down its actions and activities in the region. we'll see if this trip can pave the way to any new progress. britt clennett, abc news, seoul. >> britt, thank you. >>> a disaster has been declared in central texas where a wildfire has burned more than 15 square miles. nearly 30 homes have been destroyed including one belonging to a woman who evacuated with only her dogs and a bible that belonged to her mother. >> she was very much a woman of faith, and she prayed for us every morning, every night, and, you know, i thought mother has a hand in all of this, and she's keeping us safe. >>> meanwhile, a so-called smokenado formed when two other texas fires merged, and in neighboring new mexico officials say a fire that's burned hundreds of homes started as a prescribed burn. meanwhile, severe storm

so they then have you have jake sullivan and hillary clinton tweeting oututto, wow, look at what slade just reported. and ates the same time you have associates pushing these these claims in the fbi. it's the same pattern for both the steele dossier and the alpha bank scandalph. an yeah. and you know what it's like comes out with it and they all report it and they regurgitate it but suddenly you have a campaign attorney in a federal courthouse chargeded with a crime and he's talking about hillary clinton and the t media are absolutely nowherehein in reporting if we're going to talk about that next. jonathan turley, thank you so much for joiningg us tonight on "hannity". butwhile the media has all ignoring this dustmen trial, ov they are suddenly interested in covering hunter biden and they call it russian disinformation. joe concha and rachel they campi duffy will joins us next with reaction. stay with us. keep life zesty. zantac 360 degrees heartburn can't stop this party because in fact 360 triple vaccine prevents release and less working in as little as 15 minutes. devolites death w

announcer: jake sullivan is the white house national security advisor. he now the leaders of sweden and finland will meet with president biden to discuss plans to join nato. he also previewed the president's upcoming trip to northeast asia. >> and i have 20 minutes of remarks, so i hope you will bear with me. [laughter] i hope you guys will bear with me. i actually do have a number of things to get through because we have quite a stretch ahead here with respect to the president's foreign policy and national security priorities. very good to be back with you guys today. today, finland and sweden submitted their applications for nato membership. president biden has welcomed those applications, and he looks forward to working with nato allies and with congress on a swift accession process. it's all happening again. we got the audio. small interruption of the accession process right there. but everything will be on track just fine. tomorrow morning, the president will welcome the president of finland and the prime minister of sweden to the white house to coo

the position of the biden administration seems to be best described by national security adviser jake sullivan , who was on an asian tour with the president. he said that it was russia's war of aggression against ukraine that led to 10 million tons of food being stuck in ukrainian ports, which actually cannot get to the world market. markets and feed people both in africa and in asia and in general around the world and they say that the biden administration is working together with ukraine zones with various partners and allies in order to contribute to the entry of this food into the world markets, which is extremely necessary, and today, in particular, this was the topic of a telephone conversation between the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kulemo and the secretary of state of the united states anthony blinken, according to the state department , it is said that they discussed ways to export ukrainian grain to world markets, which the exact ways are not detailed here, it is also important to say that president biden, while on a tour of asian countries, actually violated this q

his security adviser jake sullivan informed us, we will ask the american correspondent of tsn olga koshelenkoetails, she is with us live now. congratulations olya, the reports about new types of weapons sound very encouraging, because earlier, as far as i remember, us officials talked about the impossibility of supplying ukraine, for example the patriot anti-aircraft system, yes, solya is really talking about the fact that among the new arms deliveries to ukraine may be american patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as long-range artillery, writes the washington post and with reference to own sources, and this is really important and very good news. if this information is confirmed, because the patriot is a modern air defense system that can help to effectively close ukrainian skies; indeed, before that, american officials repeatedly emphasized that they could not supply ukraine with such weapons they say because it requires the presence of the american military on the territory of ukraine to manage these systems, but now we know that american specialists successfully train ukrainian

this was reported by his national security adviser, jake sullivan, he specifically said that first youent that was approved by the country's senate yesterday. well, and then immediately will be sent to asia for signature by the president as soon as he does this, the document will become law and washington will be able to immediately start sending new weapons to ukraine. for the weapons that we will receive, we really hope that they will be the weapons that we really need. ukraine received 600 million macro euros of macro-financial assistance from the european union, but there will be more about it on its page in the twitter microblogging network written by the president of the european commission , ursula von der leyant, according to her, the european union is also working on the creation of a special platform, brussels wants to help ukraine rebuild as a free and democratic country, written by mrs. von der lähin well, now to the russian federation, well, there are still countries, and there seem to be huge problems with the recruitment of volunteers for a contract in the army, this can

with finland and sweden, while a membership is being considered, is national security advisor jake sullivan says the administration is confident the process will go ahead. we're confident that at the end of the day, feminine sweden will have been effective and efficient a session process. the turkeys concerns can be addressed filling in sweden or working directly with turkey to do this, but we're also talking to the turks to try to help facilitate i spoke with my counterpart today. secretary blinking is meeting with his counterpart perhaps as we speak in new york, and we feel very good about where this will track to fish has more from washington . joe biden believes that natal will be stronger, he thinks it will send a very clear message to russia and to others. thinking that russia's plan in attack in ukraine was to try and weaken nate or believing that some little members simply wouldn't step up, simply wouldn't follow the u. s. lead. and joe biden is essentially pointing to the fact that natal could become stronger with an expanded membership because of what has happened in ukraine. in f

yeah, as you heard there from the national security advisor, jake sullivan, he said that he was extremely confident that the white house would ultimately be able to encourage turkey. they said that there is, in fact a meeting of the secretary state that is taking place on the sidelines of the security council and york as we speak. and that he also spoke with his counterpart of turkey. i in the last couple of hours. but he didn't say why he felt that there would be this ability to convince turkey only there was confidence so much so that the u. s. president issued a strong response today, a statement saying that i he is looking forward to welcoming on thursday. the leaders of both sweden as well as finland, saying that he is looking forward to bringing these their members into or rather these countries into the nato alliance. and that is the word of the strongest defensive alliances in history. and that his commitment to nato and article 5 is iron clad. so in other words, i the u. s. president. moving forward with confidence in the process, despite turkeys reservations. kimberly, how can t

national security advisor jake sullivan says north korea may be preparing to conduct another missile test around president joe biden's visit to the region this weekend. sullivan says officials are preparing for all contingencies including a test while the president is in south korea or japan. biden will discuss security threats, supply chains, and efforts to reduce reliance on china. global is front of our is a day on air and on bloomberg quick take part by more than 120 journalists and analysts -- 27 hundred journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. >> ahead from the bloomberg new economy gateway latin america we speak to former new york yankee pitcher mariano rivera, a big advocate for investment in panama and the sustainable energy space. first, the views on the big stock selloff from barrett chief global strategist christopher smart. that's ahead. this is bloomberg. >> we are playing it more conservatively that aggressively both on the fixed income as well as on the equity. to your point, dining down areas that are high deal or areas like that. >> it is a different phase of

the national security advisor jake sullivan says he would not be surprised if president biden and xiping speak in the coming weeks. it comes as the u.s. leader makes his way to south korea for the first leg of the asian tour. joining us is our east asia government editor, john, why is biden starting the trip with a visit to the samsung semiconductor complex? it's the personification of global angst, isn't it? >> yet, and he is choosing this because it fits into the agenda of his administration in terms of supply chain initiatives. and getting more chips to industries to ease the crunch. biden has been pushing the china competition bill, it is a $52 billion bill which includes the semiconductor industry. samsung is responsible for about a third of global memory chip production. the new president in south korea , this puts the new president on the same track with joe biden, and they are working with one of the most crucial producers of these chips. dani: this is on the background of the war in ukraine, how much will that be hanging over his first visit to south korea and japan as presi

jake sullivan, hillary clinton, they retweet the story as though it's the first time they are hearingut it. >> the clinton campaign said on the stand today they didn't know it was false, they got the information and gave it to a reporter. the reporter should have vetted the information but they didn't. kennedy: they knew it was false, they manufactured the entire thing. brad, take us home. >> i'm just over here like the sky is blue, water is wet, hillary clinton is correct. this is bad literally said this and acted like what a surprise when it came out. to me, it is bad but i do kind of agree it's a typical politician thing to do. my take away is the media. what kind of journalist on critically out about their opponents? unfortunately, the average journalist does and this is a sad display that reminds us that journalism has started morphing into the democratic national committee's press arm. we need to see a reckoning in this profession with these stories, it can never be allowed to happen again and we can't count on politicians to just not be corrupt. kennedy: you can't take your hat

guest: one of the names is jake sullivan.ake sullivan was the top foreign advisor for the clinton campaign. he is the top national security advisor for the biden administration. he has been in the crosshairs of conservatives for a while, especially after afghanistan and the withdrawal there. what has come out in this trial and before the sussman trial, he had put out a statement saying to the effect that it is only a matter of time before the fbi starts looking into the trump alpha bank allegations. he put out a statement, i believe it was on halloween before the election in 2016, promoting the alpha bank allegations. there is a lot of of people in conservative media who want room to take a look at jake sullivan's role in promoting this allegation, the fact it was debunked. we will see. if durham does decide to go down that road, it is going to be interesting. that is going to be the closest durham gets to the biden white house and is going to ramp up pressure from the white house on attorney general merrick garland shut this

vonnie: jake sullivan saying north korea may be bearing -- for another missile test.s would be president biden's visit to the region. officials are preparing for all contingencies, including the test and south korea or japan. biden is expected to have security threat, supply chain and ever threatening reliance on china. >> our intelligence does reflect the genuine possibility that there will be either a further missile tests, including long-range missile tests, or a nuclear test, or frankly, both in the days leading into, on or after the president's trip to the region. vonnie: japan is said to waive quarantine for travelers. people traveling from nations with low covid infections rates include united states and united kingdom allowed into japan without having to enter quarantine. travelers from 90 other countries including egypt will be exempt from testing requirements if they have three vaccine shots. the u.s. is conducting the biggest investigation into messaging apps. bloomberg sources say they are forcing wall street banks to have more than 100 phones carried by t

jake sullivan talked about that while they were looking at contingencies. has a habit of doing missile launches while there are americans in the region, and of course, they have not done a nuclear test in a few years, so that is a very strong possibility. i think the u.s. government will reinforce with south korea they will enhance the missile defense system in south korea. the u.s. government has not responded positively to the south korean request that there'd be nuclear weapon stationed on the southern part of the korean peninsula, because it would be so provocative not towards only north korea but also china. the united states feels it has the ability to continue to act with partners and allies, unfortunately less of an ability to work with china on that. guy: great to catch up. amy, thank you very much indeed. coming up, deere hit by cost pressures, because pressures of its customers, i.e. farmers. shares of the world's largest agricultural maker down sharply today. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> the s&p down by 2/10 of 1%. a big part of that is deere, the st

when the campaign created this scandal and it was totally unfounded. >> john: let me read what jake sullivanand pasted it in the tweet. sullivan said this could be the most direct link yet between donald trump and moscow, the secret hotline may be the key to unlocking the mystery of trump's ties to russia. it certainly seems the trump organization felt it had something to hide given it apparently took steps to conceal the link when it was discovered by journalists. but there was no link, it was made up. >> completely made up. and the researchers told the clinton people, people will mock us, that this is full of holes, and none of this actually he is establishes what we are saying and they were told we need something to create a narrative. this is all in the filings by john durham. but now we know that after that, hillary clinton personally gave approval for this to be released, and she gave effectively a green light gas light the american electorate and what's really astonishing, hillary clinton has been around the world recently call for censorship because of the dangers of disinformation,

be foreign-policy experts, involved in negotiations in the past with bodies like talibanncding jake sullivanin so why should we trust pencil pushers who are good at keeping us out of harm's way? >> we should not and it's kind of a joke but if i want a cocktail and georgetown and discuss foreign-policy issues, i'm getting a biden team on board but if i want to apply american military force into phonetic force and diplomatic information military information aspects of the government to make sure foreign-policy works for the united states of america, that's not the team. i want to apply whole of government approach, you have to have a government fully functioning and the biden administration has proven repeatedly they are dysfunctional. kennedy: they are dysfunctional because grandpa ice cream, he lost his way some time ago but he's our guy. thank you so much, good luck with your race. >> take care. kennedy: topical storm is next. ♪♪ what's it like having xfinity internet? it's beyond gig-speed fast. so gaming with your niece, has never felt more intense. hey what does this button do? no, don't

national security adviser jake sullivan. he used very similar language. of course, mr.aying that the u.s. would get militarily involved if taiwan elements this further. you mentioned this is not the first time mr. biden stepped away from the long standing ambiguity on this issue. the worry now is with the chinese military and economic powers, maneuvering around taiwan and also at a time, of course, when the u.s. is shoring up its military missions, including many freedom of navigation missions, mighty chances for misjudgment, miscal calculation and accidentally triggering lasting both, that's the last thing both side want to see. >> thank you very much, steven. >>> now, five elections in five u.s. states over a day away, a high stakes contest in georgia has captured the spotlight. state governor brian kemp captures david purdue in the republican primary. he's the hand-picked candidate from donald trump. a recent polling shows him with a massive lead. cnn national politics reporter has more for you. >> reporter: former president donald trump hasn't given up on david purd

>> i think that we can safely say jake sullivan got on his cell phone as fast as possible to talk to his chinese counterpart the moment those words came out of the president's mouth. why? for our viewers up learning about this, the u.s. does not have official diplomatic relations with taiwan. we recognize the government in beijing. we do, however, help supply weapons and have said taiwan should have a right to defend itself. so the suggestion that the u.s. would militarily intervene should china take an aggressive move towards taiwan is something the administration has not done. the cleanup on aisle nine and especially as you point out in the context president biden saying that the burden to protect taiwan is "even stronger" in the presence words now in the wake of russia's invasion in ukraine. so, this certainly has upped the stakes. we are getting word on the wires, the chinese official starting to respond to it. they are not happy and this is going to be a big walk back, if you will particularly when the president was hoping to make news on this endo specific trade agreement, whic

timeline, november 1, 2016, jake sullivan, hillary clinton's national security advisor on the campaign release add lengthy statement saying that journalists have found this new information when it was the clinton campaign that gave the journalists this information hoping they would disseminate it, hoping an fbi investigation would get launched to attack the trump campaign. he is now president joe biden's national security advisor, in charge of the national security and giving the president information. so he was pushing the false narrative knowing it's coming from the clinton campaign that the fbi would possibly open an investigation, how can he be trusted with matters of national security for the country. >> john: and hillary clinton was championing as well, and connect the dots. hillary clinton at a meeting said yeah, ok, dish this to slate, right, which was first to publish it and then tweeted the slate article saying computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the trump organization to a russian-based bank. so she oks given the information to slate and the

and jake sullivan said this secret hotline said it may be the key to unlocking the mystery of trump'ss to russia. and michael sussmann on trial behind me said he had evidence of a secret communication back channel between the trump communication and a russian bank with ties to the kremlin. sussmann said he was delivering it on his own as a concerned citizen, not on behalf of clients, including the campaign. but durham says sussmann billed the campaign for the private fbi meeting. and mock said he did not know sussmann and said of the fbi, we did not trust them. still, mock and his team were ok with sharing this information to the media who then disseminated it to the public. before mock fbi james baker finished his third day on the stand, him walking in with the glasses, he met with sussmann at the fbi and says sussmann came to the meeting armed with copy documents and two thumb drives. james baker is the central witness in the case, it's about the sussmann-baker meeting and baker has said different things about if sussmann said he was coming on behalf of a client and that's really wh

reporter: jake sullivan was pressed on why joe biden is not visiting the dmz during this visit.ident has been there before in 2013 as vice president and said he would rather see u.s. and south korean forces side-by-side instead of repeating another trip to the dmz. joe biden will head to japan where regional security will be front and center, attending a summit with leaders from japan, india, and australia, announcing a new initiative to counter china's influence in the indo pacific. as for a four ukraine, the white house says president biden will sign the 40 billion dollar aid package that was overwhelmingly approved by the senate. dion: just ahead, it is a big question, is an elephant a person? that is next in when big tobacco's products were found out to be killers, they promised smokers safety. they called it a filter. but this filter wasn't safe or useful, just small and made of microplastics that have endangered us all. for far too long, they have polluted the earth. they're literally everywhere. there's no need to search. big tobacco, you'll have to answer for your despic

listen to what national security advisor jake sullivan told reporters this week. >> the message we're trying to send on this trip is a message of an affirmative vision of what the world can look like if the democracies and open societies of the world stand together to shape the rules of the road. we think take message will be heard everywhere and in beijing. it is not a negative message and not targeted at any one country. >> harris: peter doocy is live for us in seoul. a beautiful city. >> it is beautiful. harris. in the region right now tens of millions of chinese citizens are quarantined because of covid. slice are not coming in and out of china. president biden is trying to figure out with other asian leaders how to prevent that from happening again. >> president biden: if we can keep our supply chains resilient, reliable and secure. over the last few years, we've seen just how critical it is. covid-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of just in time supply chains. >> on air force one ride over here the national security advisor was frank about a north korea missile test or nuclear

spreading this information really, that was in 2017 that's that our current national security advisor jake sullivans talking about this same fake news false information that hillary clinton had ordered the code red to disseminate to the media in sussman prior to that gone to the fbi and said i don' represent any clients, but he did, he represented the campaig when he delivered this information to the fbi. i don't think i can go without being highlighted. the man we just hotline on national television is the one that's giving us updates on the war in ukraine. that is the man in charge and a large part of our national security now. matt, where you think this goes from here? there's essence among many watching that this is just the beginning of the john durham investigation and now that michael sussman is on trial we will see where that verdict comes in, but where does it go from here after sussman? >> i think it's going to go to broader group that was involved in creating this this information because if you remember in the filings before the trial started, he suggested there was joint venture or a c

so they then have jake sullivan and hillary clinton tweeting out , look at what slate just reported.er the same time you have associates pushing these claims and the fbi. it is the same pattern for both the steel dossier in the alpha alpha bank scandal. >> and you know what, slate comes up with it and they all reported and regurgitate it, suddenly you have a campaign attorney in a federal courthous charged with a crime, and he's talking about hillary clinton and the media are absolutely nowhere in reporting we will talk about that next. jonathan, thank you for joining us tonight on hannity. while the media is all but ignoring this trial, they are suddenly interested in covering hunter biden. didn't they call it russian disinformation? that is next. stay with us. out here, you're a landowner, a gardener, a landscaper and a hunter. that's why you need versatile, durable kubota equipment. this isn't just freight. these aren't just shipments. they're promises. promises of all shapes and sizes. each, with a time and a place they've been promised to be. a promise is everything to old domin
