never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. . >>> i'm going to bring back john kirbyrdinator for strategic communications at the white house. so let's talk about last week's summit of the americas. here's what you told our john king on wednesday. okay. apparently whiche don't have th sound. basically, you were talking about saudi arabia. oh, we do have it now. >> all right. >> saudi arabia is an important part. the president believes that. the president also believes, john, it's important for him to be willing and able to meet with leaders all across the world, no matter who they are or represent if, in fact, it's going to improve u.s. national security interests. >> but biden didn't invite the leaders of cuba, nicaragua and the america's. he said he would meet with anyone if it would improve u.s. security. is meeting with those leaders not causing unity. >> this was 22 heads of state, 68 delegations. look at the things that were done. the economic agenda including $3.2 million in more investment. a mieggration declaration that will for the first time consider regiona

let's discuss with the national security council coordinator for strategic communications, john kirbys. as you well know, there's growing opposition to this trip from within the president's own democratic party. senator dick durbin, for example, said he would advise the president not to make this trip. senator tim kaine calls it, and i'm quoting him now, a big mistake. how do you respond to that? >> well, i think there's also been quite a bit of support for this decision by the president to make this trip that we've also seen from today, but look, he understands and appreciates that not everybody will have the same view. i think it's important, wolf, to keep this trip in context. it's not just about going to saudi arabia for bilateral meetings, although that's a piece of this. it's also about attending the summit of the gulf cooperation council, which is important. nine heads of states will be there to discuss a range of regional issues, including counterterrorism, the threat from iran, climate change, the war in yemen. and before that he's going to israel and he's going to be speakin

we don't have details yet and john kirby didn't confirm it.he administration is softening its stance toward saudi arabia and kind of doing this dance, as you heard there from john kirby, because of the need to meet with them in the wake of these record high gas prices. as john kirby said, the strategic national security interest, weighing the human rights with that. >> it's a line. it's a tough line to walk for any administration, right, when it comes -- >> it's virtually impossible. like you said, it's one thing to stand on the campaign trail and criticize. and, listen, the then candidate, now president joe biden had every right to do so. but when you are in the white house and you have so many factors there, you have to weigh, this is from his perspective, human rights and the fact that this leader, according to their own report, murdered a journalist with the fact that the reality is that the saudis control a lot of -- they pull a lot of the levers that are causing people in america to go to the gas station and pay a lot of money -- record

when john kirby, a member of the presidents national security team joins us live from the white house let's begin this hour on capitol hill. today's news of a bipartisan deal on gun reform. it's the latest sign that public pressure is working, and this time it's different. the framework reached and enhanced background checks for 18 to 21-year-olds. incentivizes for states to implement red flag laws. new funding for school safety, mental health and tele-health. clarification of who receives f else. and penalties for struck -- here's what's not in the deal. they would not ban semi automatic weapons or high capacity magazines. it would not raise the age to buy assault weapons. it would not apply universal background checks. make no mistake, this would be a historic achievement. a deal is a deal. sometimes politics is the art of the possible. president biden released a statement today saying in part, quote, obviously, it does not do everything that i think is needed, but it reflects important steps in the right direction, and would be the most significant density legislation to pass congr

joining me now to discuss multiple developments, john kirby at the national security council.ve you here. appreciate you taking time this morning. a lot going on here, on your plate. >> it is a busy summit. >> i want to begin with one thing i noticed since being here, you, european leaders, white house officials, describe the threat from russia, not just to ukraine, but other nato members, no longer in theoretical terms. not this idea that it may happen some day, but this is a clear and present danger. is that your view that nato is in effect preparing itself, defending against the possibility that russia might attack one of its own? >> they have to, jim, given what mr. putin has done in ukraine. i would point you back to the defense department, just recently completed a national defense strategy and they called russia in that strategy an acute threat, acute is a great word for it. it is the here and now. and it is very specific. and the alliance is feeling that threat, which is why you saw the president talk about increased force posture in europe and will see other announcem

thanks, john kirby.h the white house, not the pentagon. thank him for joining us today. how the biden administration is trying to salvage their relations with parents after being linked to a letter comparing upset parents at board meetings to domestic terrorists. that's next. find your rewards so you can reconnect, disconnect, hold on tight and let go! stay two nights and get a free night. book now at bestwestern.com. for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis who are positive for acetylcholine receptor antibodies, it may feel like the world is moving without you. but the picture is changing, with vyvgart. in a clinical trial, participants achieved improved daily abilities with vyvgart added to their current treatment. and vyvgart helped clinical trial participants achieve reduced muscle weakness. vyvgart may increase the risk of infection. in a clinical study, the most common infections were urinary tract and respiratory tract infections. tell your doctor if you have a history of infections or if you

so what we're hearing from officials including john kirby, who was at the pentagon and now is at therity council, is that basically, they see this as a matter of balancing moral values and those vows to make saudi arabia a pariah with strategic national security interests. >> the president has put in place accountability measures with respect to the khashoggi killing, but saudi arabia is also a strategic partner, and when foreign policy, it's about balancing the values and standing up for the values and not afraid to speak to our human rights concerns in any country around the world and also pursuing national security interests. >> and jake, what john kirby was referencing there at the beginning is when the white house did release that intelligence report that showed that the saudi crown prince did approve the killing of the journalist, jamal khashoggi, when that came out, there was a lot of criticism from typical allies of this white house because they only penalized lower level saudi officials. they did not directly try to go after the saudi crown prince himself. basically deciding

joining us to talk about this is john kirby, the national security council coordinator for strategice just heard from the saudi embassy saying that biden and crown prince mohammed bin salman will have official talks. the white house statement doesn't mention mbs. are they having talks? >> he's going over there primarily for the corporation with nine heads of state. we would expect that would include the crown prince, but there is a whole host of issues here that the president is looking forward to diving into with these heads of state across the gulf region. >> i mean, they're specific about it. official talks with mbs. it doesn't seem like they're describing the ensemble cast that you are, obviously mbs runs the country. they are describing official talks between biden and mbs. >> both can be true. he's going over there as part of the gccc plus three to talk about counterterrorism, iran's destabilizing behavior, energy production as well as trying to end this war in yemen. he'll talk with nine heads of state, lots of bilateral discussions and that will certainly include king salman

john kirby was already called in earlier this week to bail out pierre. to take over the starting spot? can you even imagine a white male coming to the rescue of the first black lesbian press secretary? awkward for the democrats. look, what other options do they have? america has hard enough time understanding what biden is doing. if it gets any worse, we're going to need an interpreter. stephen miller is the founder of america first legal and former senior adviser. to president trump. i think people thought it was challenging to be donald trump's press secretary but being joe biden's press secretary, i mean, nothing is harder than that. >> first of all, i should inform you i didn't bring my binder tonight so i will do the best can i. we will muddle through this thing. i think whoever is doing the binder for john pierre is punking america. whatever page she is flipping through is not the question she is being asked. she is asked a question biden's on inflation consult my binder flip, flip, flip. well, we take climate change very seriously and we important

. >>> joining success john kirby, a retired rear admiral in the u.s. navy. o have you. thanks for joining us. let's start with the aid package, additional $1 billion in military aid to ukraine. earlier this week, ukraine's deputy defense minister said the country received 10% of the military assistance that they've requested. is ukraine getting what it needs? >> they're getting as much as we can send as fast as we can send it, boris. president biden just spoke to president zelenskyy yesterday, had a good conversation about what's going on, on the battlefield and what the requirements are and capabilities are for ukraine and just yesterday as well in brussels secretary of defense lloyd austin met with 50 other nations, other defense ministers from other nations to provide even more security assistance to ukraine, and so we're working this very, very hard and as a matter of fact, not only is security assistance getting in every day, it's getting in and getting over to the region at record speed. we've never been able to accomplish something like this before fro

actually spoke to john kirby about this yesterday. he had a similar message.to this. >> stay away from ukraine. it is an active war zone, and if you're in ukraine, as an american, please leave immediately. there are other ways, more effective ways, safer ways to support the ukrainian people, through financial contributions to organizations like the red cross, for instance, but this is not the time to be going to ukraine and taking up arms. >> at this point, what is the u.s. government's responsibility to these americans? >> well, you know, boris, there are two sides to that message. number one is as john kirby described and the president emphasized this as well, look, don't go to ukraine. the state department's obligation is to alert, to inform america, those american citizens on what the risks are abroad. this is a combat zone. absolutely spot on, avoid going to ukraine, i understand best intentions, folks want to help, this is not where america needs to have a presence in an informal way. these are not representatives of the united states government. but the

amy: that is the pentagon press spokesperson john kirby. aisha dennis if you can respond to this?o how it would specifically apply to adel al manthari. >> the first point to make is when he says these are mistakes, it speaks to trivialize what we're talking about, which is the killing and maiming of civilians. a miake is when you leave your car keys at home or send an email to the wrong person. we are talking about systemic failure, repeated strikes against civilians and also the repeated failure and refusal to engage with the evidence. so it is great the dod is attempting to learn from past mistakes and we very much welcome that sentiment, but we also know lloyd austin has said they will refuse to investigate the past. what he means by that is they will refuse to investigate prior strikes. the problem is, how can the dod hope to learn from previous strikes when they won't grapple with the evidence and what has really happened? they're not talking to communities. they are not talking to experts. in adel's case we are happy to engage with them directly to put them in contact with h

i'll ask john kirby with the national security council. let's go "outfront." good evening. erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, pressure campaign. the january 6th select committee revealing tonight it will make the case tomorrow that donald trump's pressure on mike pence to overturn the election "d "directly contributed to the deadly snushg insurrection." the hearing will focus on president trump's efforts to convince his vice president to subvert the election. those efforts happening behind closed doors, on twitter, and on the airwaves. >> mike pence, i will tell you right now, i'm not hearing good stories. i hope that our great vice president, our great vice president comes through for us. he's a great guy. of course, if he doesn't come through, i won't like him as much. >> all that, despite the lawyers in the white house counsel's office telling trump clearly that pence could do no such thing. he didn't have the authority. and aides also say that the hearing will include new material about pence's whereabouts on january 6th. so new images obtained by jonathan carl of abc ne

a short while ago, john kirby with the national security council was on our air saying he expects there to be bilateral discussions between the king salman and his team of which the crown prince is a part of. so the white house so far has not said if there would be that one on one bilateral meeting between the president and the crown prince, though the saudis have said that there would be official talks between the two leaders. the white house said there is a host of issues that they wanted to discuss, while in the region, including energy issues and national security issues, but this meeting, possible meeting between biden and the crown prince, will certainly be capturing much of the attention as the president prepares for this trip next month. >> and natasha, i want to pick up on that, on the murder of khashoggi. in your reporting about the planning for this trip, you spoke with a senior u.s. official who said it is time to move past the murder of khashoggi. that the relationship between u.s. and saudi arabia cannot be held hostage to his killing. so how is the white house justifying

national security council spokesman john kirby. >> we want to make sure we send a very clear message to mr. putin, that as president biden has said, we're going to defend every inch of nato territory. >>eporter: russia threat ry wa capabilities and resources." speaking remotely, ukraine's president warned the leaders gathered here, that even with foreign aid he is still vastly outgunned. >> the ukrainian forces are struggling. >> reporter: igor zhovkva is president zelenskyy's deputy chief of staff. he traveled here to madrid because his boss can't. what kind of weaponry is ukraine seeking that you are not getting now? >> well, we are getting almost all the pieces of weapons we want but not in the right numbers. >> reporter: boris johnson called the invasion a prime example of toxic masculinity. >> if putin was a woman, which he obviously isn't, but if he were, i really don't think he would have embarked on a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence in the way that he has. >> reporter: one solution, he said, is to elect more women. but, norah, of the 30 heads of state attending this

national security council spokesman john kirby -- >> we want to send a clear message to putin that we'reoing to defend every inch of nato territory. >> reporter: russia threatened to responds with compensatory measures warning "we have the capabilities and resources." speaking remotely, ukraine's president warned the leaders gathered here that even with foreign aid he is still vastly outgunned. >> the ukrainian armed forces are struggling -- >> reporter: igor zhovkva is volodymer zelenskyy's deputy chief of staff. he traveled to madrid because his boss can't. what kind of weaponry is ukraine seeking that you aren't getting now? >> well, we are getting almost all the pieces of weapon we want, but not in enough quantity. >> reporter: the leaders here say they're bracing for a long-term conflict. boris johnson, the embattled uk prime minister, called the invasion a prime example of toxic masculinity. >> if putin was a woman, which he obviously isn't, but if he were, i really don't think he would have embarked on a crazy macho war of invasion and violence in the way that he has. >> that was

prepared a new package of military assistance to ukraine, according to representatives of the pentagon john kirby kiev will receive multiple launch rocket systems, tactical vehicles, artillery shells, machine guns, grenade launchers during the briefing kerby noted. what the over the past 4 months, washington has allocated to kiev as military assistance and weapons worth six billion dollars, while he stressed that the american forces in ukraine will not fight, even if the hostilities drag on there, the dpr during the shelling from ukraine killed civilians , six more wounded by the apu were released in settlements. republic, more than 250 shells from city artillery, it was met, that damaged houses and infra objects. the main blow took over, donetsk shell exploded, including on the territory of the temple the ukrainian military also attacked the kherson region, as reported by local authorities, russian air defense systems shot down two missiles, the entire unit of donbass , together with the russian military, destroyed more than 30 ukrainian militants brought several firing points or eliminated the

. >>> also this morning, pentagon press secretary john kirby will join us, as the biden administration prepares to announce more military aid to ukraine. >>> as we go to break, bill barr is calling bs on the big lie, but nevertheless, he is willing to support the former president if he runs for office again. >> liz cheney said he is not fit for serve and should not ever be near the oval office again. do you agree with that? >> i certainly made it clear, i don't think he should be our nominee. i'm going to, you know, support somebody else for the nominee. >> if he is the nominee and your choice is donald trump or whoever is running on the democratic side, would you vote for him? >> because i believe the greatest threat to the country is the progressive agenda being pushed by the democratic party, it is inconceivable that i wouldn't vote for the republican nominee. >> so even if he lied about the election and threatened democracy, as you write in your book, it's better than a democrat? >> it is hard to project what the facts are going to turn out to be three years hence. as of now, it is

a new package of military assistance to ukraine , according to representatives of the pentagon john kirbyill receive the rocket systems of the hall. fire almost cars boats, artillery shells, machine guns and grenade launchers during the briefing, kirby noted that over the past 4 months in washington has allocated $6 billion in military aid to kiev for weapons, while reiterating that american forces in ukraine will not fight even if the fighting there drags on. well, the heads of the euro, the heads of the eu states , granted ukraine and moldova the status of candidate members of the eu, the decision is expected, but for full membership in the union for both sides. we will have to fulfill a number of difficult obligations. and as practice shows, this can take not even years, but decades, turkey, for example, arrives in waiting list since 1999. some balkan countries first two thousandth fast execution in the ambulance. the excitement of their family is not particularly believed, and the participants themselves, alina repina studied the reaction to the symbolic gesture of brussels. from the

. >> john kirby -- >> go ahead. >> sorry, i pressed john kirby on that point yesterday to say are you going, is the administration going to pressure ukraine to cede territory to end the war and he said as evan was articulating there that this is -- that's up to ukraine, the definition of peace is up to ukraine and the u.s. position here, its role here is to help ukraine defend itself. sorry, gloria, back to you. >> i was just going to say that democracy in peril has been kind of a theme of the biden presidency, particularly after january 6th. and the notion that authoritarianism cannot win over democracy, and you see what's going on in the states right now. you see we mentioned the discussions at the january 6th hearings, the astonishing testimony that we heard from cassidy hutchinson about donald trump wanting to go to the capitol, knowing that there were people in the crowd who were armed and ready to go into the capitol. this is something that biden talks about all the time, what is at stake here. and i think in terms of meeting with the nato allies, that's the theme, he continues

the columns , everyone will talk, everyone will mention and everywhere will be ukrainian ensigns john kirbyformer spokesman of the us state department, and the statement is that the white house calls on american citizens not to fight in ukraine, it is about saving their lives, and actually supporting is it possible to do it with money? yes, there is financial aid, aid, weapons, but not to go to the battlefield, and well, in this way, to save your life. do you think they will listen to this? to fight in this international region, well, they are either adventurers or patriots, but in any case, these are people who are very convinced of the rightness of their cause, and some blood there will not convince them, so if i want to definitely go and fight with the russians uh, the washington bureaucrat will not be convinced at all, they usually say this. probably because there are relatively many americans, i assume this is the zone, the second reason is that there may be some trouble with the russians. imagine if the russians caught a few americans there at once, it would be some kind of scandal. t

europe, which begins at the end of this week said the official of the national security council, john kirbyinister of justice mary garland arrived today to help ukraine identify, detain and bring to justice those involved in the conduct of military operations during the russian war in ukraine, it will not be possible to hide, he emphasized that we have the opportunity to talk with the head of the voice of america in eastern europe office, myroslava gongadze. of the minister - america is ready to share the expertise that america is ready to share with ukraine. you know that recently i spoke with the new ambassador of the united states to ukraine, and she called this assessment of war crimes in russia against ukraine one of the priorities of her policy, and in this context it is clear that the visit of the minister justice of the united states will instigate this process and organize this process, and this is a very important visit . the main task of the americans today is to help ukraine correctly and qualitatively gather those the evidence is here and now you have a group of lawyers working

forces. 450 million dollars this was announced by the spokesman of the us ministry of defense, john kirby, the package includes weapons and equipment, including new high-mars multiple-launch rocket systems and tens of thousands of additional ammunition for artillery, which was already provided earlier, and military assistance also includes patrol boats to protect the coast and inland waters, according to kirby, this is the 13th time that president biden has announced an aid package for the period of this crisis, and the total cost of aid only after february 24 is approximately 6.1 billion of united states dollars, we are adding to our broadcast jason, jason, martha, an american political technologist and political expert, mr. jason, we welcome you. good, mr. jason. please tell me how these aid packages are formed in your opinion, because very often they appear completely unexpectedly in the information space, they are announced to us and this it may be every week, sometimes there may be slightly longer pauses, but in general, do you see any regularity in this? well, how do you know? the s

president ostap also apologized for the loss of the leaders, and as earlier in an interview with me, john kirbyrepresentative of the us national security council, said that the goal of president biden in europe will be to demonstrate the results of american leadership, and that is why it really happens at such meetings, and today is one of the important meetings with the president of turkey was rejected and she was reprimanded and they talked in particular about how to get the grain that is blocked in ukrainian ports and deliver it to the countries that need it yuliya bohdane thank you very much for your voluminous inclusion, let me remind you it was yuliya yarmolenko and bohdan tsyupin according to the information of the prosecutor general's office of ukraine during its full-scale war, russia fired at 25,000 objects of ukrainian civilian infrastructure, most of them were destroyed, in addition , ukraine is already investigating more than 20,000 cases of war crimes by russians, representatives of the state department and the us department of justice declared their support for these efforts duri

day before with the coordinator of strategic communication of the us national security council, john kirbyerican heimer systems have arrived to ukraine, what impact do you expect they will have on the battlefield, the biggest difference between himars and high mobility missile systems is distance radius they give the ukrainians the advantage of being at a greater distance from the russian troops . while they continue to fight every day in more concentrated areas now, the united states provides ukraine with unprecedented military aid, but still there are voices both in kyiv and in washington that say that the aid is not enough that it is not coming quickly enough, or does the administration feel that it is providing ukraine with enough weapons to really have an impact on the battlefield, even now these systems are already changing the situation on the battlefield even today, and this is what the ukrainians themselves will tell you, not only about large systems. these small arms and ammunition that they use literally every day are killed with the russians and they play a role, and we are obv

is that the war may end and that ukraine will directly consider it a victory, and the day before john kirby an official of the national security council of the united states, said that president biden stands with the people of ukraine and he wants to make sure that the united states , on the other hand, is doing everything in its power to ensure that the ukrainian armed forces are successful on the battlefield, and therefore ukraine has a stronger negotiating position in the negotiations if or when such negotiations will take place. yuliu, the head of the pentagon is in brussels today, where the two-day meeting of the nato defense ministers is ending. what are the results of these meetings? yes, natalya today and the head of the pentagon and until now, the nato ambassador and genstolton discussed that these meetings were extremely fruitful and productive. and of course, as she said already in myroslavl, the meeting of the third contact group with assistance to ukraine ended yesterday, and there the united states announced, in particular, the allocation of an additional billion dollars for d

well, i want to tell you next on the statements of john kirby a man who for many years was the spokesman for the pentagon. we often quote him now. he is the coordinator of strategic communications at the national security council of the united states. he just made a few statements . and i would like to share this information with you first. he says that only ukraine will determine the conditions under which they will suspend or stop hostilities well, this is the statement, i want to explain the context very often journalists in the state department in the white house and in the pentagon ask see well, when according to the americans there should be a full stop when ukraine has stop suspending hostilities and start, for example, a diplomatic process, start negotiating . what should it be when the russians are pushed back to those borders that were on that march that was before the invasion until february 24 or even more or after the return of donbas or after crimea is returned very many questions well, look, kirby today announced the official american position, i will quote. he says that w

. >> reporter: we pressed a key biden national security council official, john kirby. would you say that russia is winning this war right now? >> i would not say russia is winning this war. the ukrainians have an unbelievable ability to defend themselves they are acting bravely and skillfully in the field we're going to help them continue to do that >> reporter: another major development. nato officially invited sweden and finland to joi after turkey dropped its opposition, as the war in ukraine enters its fifth month. lester >>> in 60 seconds the massive fire at a summer camp and air chaos. thousands of flights already canceled this week the new warning from airlines ahead of the holiday. this week. the new warning from airlines ahead of the holiday. like the shot they take. the memories they create. or the spin they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, you can achieve clearer skin. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla can cause serious allergic reactions. it m

this request was made by the representative of the white house john kirby after the british newspaper yes and the graf flew reported that two former american soldiers were captured, citing a colleague who chose not to give his name to the publication claims to be from 39-year-old alexander dryuki and 27-year-old. andy winh could be captured. after as part of a group of ten people opposed the russian forces. near kharkov, both us citizens served in the ukrainian army as volunteers and became the first captured americans official confirmation the british media does not have this information. attacks on ukrainian nationalists and the accumulation of their military equipment are delivered by iskander grozny missile systems, high-precision weapons, which remain unattainable for any air defense systems , ruslan bikbulatov observed the work of ballistic calculations. two ballistic missiles immediately soar into the sky in order to deliver their accurate and crushing blow from a height of tens of kilometers, this is how the most formidable weapon of our army involved in the special operation

remotely, according to the representative of the national security council of the united states, john kirbyto discuss new measures aimed at isolating russia from the world economy and disruption of supply chains for the defense complex of the russian federation , the participants also plan to reach new agreements to reduce energy prices and food in the world will last until june 28, after which the leaders of the countries will go to madrid for the nato summit in ukraine, celebrate the day of the crimean tatar flag. it was first adopted by the crimean tatar kurultaem in 1917, and the flag was renewed only on june 30, 1991. in the left corner, the blue color, the traditional color of the turkic peoples, was not used in the flags of the crimean khanate; the coat of arms depicted on the flag is the family sign of the heroes of the ruling dynasty of the crimean khanate from the beginning of the occupation of russia of ukrainian crimea and increased repression against the indigenous population of the peninsula, festive events on the occasion of crimean tatar flag day are taking place in mainland

statement was made by the strategic communications coordinator of the us national security council, john kirby, during a briefing at the white house. the first is unwavering support of the united states and its allies for a democratic and sovereign ukraine, as well as bringing russia to justice for the start of unprovoked aggression; the second is the impact of the war on the world economy, in addition to how it is possible to minimize the negative consequences. of the fight against authoritarianism, well, speaking of authoritarianism, he obviously meant putin's russia or putin in russia, whatever it was. he spoke, but on it is a great pity that the confrontation between the political blocs will lead to wars and conflicts , the leader of the people's republic of china xi jinping said during a video address at the opening of the brics business forum. ukraine, which pansy also called a crisis, showed again. in his opinion, security cannot be maintained by force and the expansion of blocs. well, this is in his opinion, and then he repeated the already known russian formula that no country in the

john kirby, at a press conference at the white house. what we know is this package will entail missile launchers, howitzers, anti ship systems. but we also know that this will include the military personnel to teach the ukrainian soldiers how to use this equipment because it's no good if you don't know how to use it. and the reason this is so important is because at a time is of the essence, we know that right now that the ukrainian forces are outnumbered in terms of military hardware by the russian soldiers, by the russian military. and so they are in need of this support in order to gain that edge. and so that is what this is all about. but in addition, we know that this package also includes $225000000.00 of humanitarian aid for the ukrainian people. this is water, this medicine and this is other sort of public health needs in order to support the ongoing of combat operations, but also the civilian population. and this is a direct response to the plea by latimer zalinski. the countries leader who is once again urging the western leade

and i, i was listening to a interview that john kirby formerly from the pentagon, but now over at the white house was given. it was very, very vague on that. and you have no assurance. the bottom line is you have no assurance that those rockets are not going to be pulled up to the border and fired into russia and created and create a whole new level of escalation that we did not anticipate as it is the united states. and this nato allies aren't even meeting the, the level of violence that's occurring right now. and being able to sufficiently supply them yet if we allow the ukrainians to go ahead and make make the decisions. and that's what kirby was saying. well, it's up to the crate and how they want to use the equipment. well, wait a minute. they're going to get you into a further war. if that if you don't have limitations or if you can supply this stuff without conditions and that, and when you're using talk about long range rockets, they can place them anywhere. and that's that only the bottom line on something like that is escalation. and it's pure and simple, and there's no way

all, we hope that it will not will happen and what will actually happen as it was announced by john kirbydinator of strategic communication of the joy of national security of the usa, as it is proposed by the minister of defense of the u.s., as it is actually proposed now by these a-a american hawks who are at the head of the processes of allocation of weapons in ukraine and more effective countermeasures against the kremlin of the civilized world of a collective action so that the sovereignty of ukraine is respected so that the territorial integrity of ukraine is fully restored and as the head of the main intelligence directorate said the ministry of defense of ukraine, major general budanov, on the air of the british itvnews, ukraine must return to the borders in 1991, and we are not considering any other scenarios. this is logical because, again, the question is not even about ukrainian security, it is about public order as such, because absolutely it is obvious that the international order is connected with the fact that some countries must respect the sovereignty and territorial inte

two or three times a week, and it is clear that today the press asked er in the white house of john kirbyw person who is responsible for contacts with the media. well, does it really happen 2-3 times a week, and who would have said that contacts between zelensky biden well, not two or three times a week, that was figurative, but constant direct as well defense ministers call directly of the united states and ukraine well, what else i told the company was that it was interesting that direct contacts between officials between the government officials of the two countries are actually daily, they are practically in operational mode, i will explain why this is important, look, there used to be such a long bureaucratic structure, no ukrainian ministry could call directly in the us, the ministry had to call the ministry of foreign affairs, the embassy, ​​they sent a note, that is, an agreement, well, you will laugh at a simple phone call , days passed, now any of our officials a government official can pick up the phone and call his colleague here in washington. well, you see, the issue is reso

national security council coordinator john kirby says there is no reason russian president vladimir putin should see the bolstering of nato forces as provocative as provocation. >> there is no need he needs to view any of these changes as provocation. nato is, will beat, always has been a defensive alliance. the reason we have to do this is because mr. putin has been destabilizing, he decided to invade a sovereign neighboring state. he is the aggressor. dani: let's get straight to the nato summit in madrid, where maria tadeo is. final day of the summit, nato allies are calling this historic . walk us through what has been achieved. maria: it is historic. they say there is a shift in nato strategy, going back to that combat mode. a lot of this because of the instability we are seeing in eastern europe. a reality check to european countries by comes to taking them for granted your security when we have country trying by force to redefine the winds of another sovereign state. yesterday, nato allies agreed to label russia is the most significant threat to nato security. i want to reduce some

national security council core nader john kirby says there is a reason russian president pute -- putinhould view this as a provocation. >> nato will always be a defensive alliance. the reason we have to do this is because mr. putin has been the destabilizing influence on the continent. he decided to invade a neighboring state. he's the one who was the aggressor. mark: mr. kirby said the united states is working hard to get turkiye advanced air defense capabilities. the european union is effectively heralding the end of the era of internal combustion engines. eu members have endorsed the push to eliminate carbon emissions from new cars by 2035. environment ministers struck a deal after italy, the home of ferrari and lamborghini gave a demands for a five-year delay. now to a bloomberg scoop. democrats are working on shrinking the tax increases in president biden's economic package. it is said to be part of a bid to cut a deal with senator joe manchin and get it passed in the coming weeks. the changes into consideration when pair down some of the tax measures passed by the house last year

. >> laura: john kirby was asked about this today. the spokesman at the pentagon. let's watch. >> the chinese have imported a record amount of oil from russia. trade between the two countries is growing. what message do you have to the chinese related to this? >> as we said at the outset, we called on china to be responsible power here and to join the rest of the world in condemning what russia has done in ukraine and enforcing sanctions against russia for it. >> laura: we thought the white house -- i mean, we are asking china to be a responsible player? they have 1 million people in camps, be responsible. eco-responsible genocidal country. the administration delivers a never ending humiliation and republicans if they take power, they need to use the power to shut this lunacy down. >> laura: we have a lot of republican sadly on the wrong side of the issue. mitch mcconnell a number one. great to see you tonight. not tonight we've got another sneak peek of my new fox nation series. this episode took me to philly where one artist found beauty in some unlikely items. c

jacqui heinrich asked national security spokesperson john kirby, listen to what he said, i have to get aren't covered under the geneva protection -- >> yeah, we've seen the comments by mr. paskov with respect to this not ruling out certain protections. i would tell you a couple of things. one, we are still are trying to learn more about these two individuals. okay, number 2, it's appalling that a public official in russia would even suggest the death penalty for two american citizens that were in ukraine. maria: general, this i find outrageous. i mean, here we have president biden worried about upsetting vladimir putin at every turn. he doesn't even want to send certain weaponry because it's going to upset vladimir putin and now we have two americans that were captured by russia? >> yeah, you know, maria, the russians have said they are not covered by the geneva convention and therefore subject to death penalty. the president needs to come out and say something. they are sending us a miami, that's very clear. the russians don't do anything in isolation. they read the battlefield, they

it was john kirby today. >> the president wants to make sure that they are serving our interest and piqueerest of the american people and he wants to make sure that as he reviews the tariff regime that it is meeting those needs and i think he is going to keep his mind open. >> laura: senator, i have a very serious question because i understand that there are some gop senators. they tend to be all of the establishment types. they are said to be considering supporting lifting some of these tariffs and that that would be part of their plan going forward if they take back that senate. rewarding china is part of our economic resurgence if the republicans take charge in november? would you support that? and who is supporting that on capitol hill? >> senator cotton: it sounds like that is exactly what joe biden is about to do in his desperate attempt to solve the inflation he created. he wants to blame everyone but himself. he wants to blame oil companies or he wants to blame putin's price hikes. and we had these tariffs in place years ago well before inflation started. >> laura: but senator, i

you've got people like john kirby that don't want to say that, but they don't want to call the presidentn to this. this week my husband said, you know, when he went to fill up the pickup, it cut him off at $100. and that is how much it is costing people at the pump. they are sick of this. you have to address the energy issue if you're going to get inflation under control. that has to be step number one. all of this saying blame the fed, blame this, that or the other, energy is at the genesis of the solution to getting this under control. maria: but you think this is intentional, they want gasoline prices to go higher so that people change their behavior, buy an electric vehicle. >> yeah. go back to the energy policy of 2007. when pelosi was speaker of the house and what they were doing on climate change. maria: yeah. >> they wanted higher prices for gas. they felt like that it would change behavior, and is what they're seeing is people are furious with them because they have taken alaska offline, offshore is offline, fracking is offline -- maria: yeah. >> -- and now they're going to go c

. >> the national security council spokesman, john kirby, said that vladimir putin has weaponized foodery of ukrainian agriculture around the world. how big is this problem and how bad could this crisis get? india is having climate related farming issues and may stop exporting grains this year so they can feed their own people. >> it's really bad, anderson. there's no way around it. it was bad before putin launched this gratuitous and brutal invasion. now that he is weaponizing food, that he is holding back what's going to amount to about 50 million tons of grains. really, 50 million tons, when there were people who were starving in subsaharan africa and beyond. it's going to get a lot worse. you now are seeing dire effects in countries like somalia, kenya, ethiopia. you have 7 million kids in somalia who are acutely malnourished at this point in time. you have unicef predicting what is going to be an explosion in child deaths at this rate. when you combine climate change, four consecutive seasons of drought. and then putin willfully, intentionally denying the ability of the ukrainians
