dad rested and is joined by john kirby. -- david westin is joined by john kirby.avid: we welcome john kirby, coordinator for strategic communications. let's start with ukraine. what do we know about what is going on right now in the battlefield? amr. kirby: the ukrainians announced they have now taken back a key drought hub and a printer industrial city. -- a major industrial city. the russians were wanting to use it to supply their own efforts. that is a significant development. it falls on the heels of so many other territorial gains by ukrainian armed forces in the northeast area of the country. it follows suit for the counteroffensive, which is moved an impressive speed. in the south, near paris on -- near herson, ukrainians make progress. not as dramatic in the northeast, but it is working. david: tell us about the weather. it is important for ukrainians to make as much progress as possible before the weather gets worse? amr. kirby: i think you can see from zelenskyy's plan that they timed these counteroffensive's for good weather. as we get into the holiday

john kirby standing the podium representing the white house, the president of the united states , the administration, the largest organization in human history, the executive branch of government had no answer. but don't worry, he said, we will be exporting plenty of

and what is our plan for what does john kirby represent the white there was no answer at home of theresident of the god-banned administration, but don’t worry, he said we will supply europe with enough fuel so that they can interfere with putin’s ukrainian campaign well , this, well, in new terms is somehow defined, now the goals of the war that is, it is no longer a defense of democracy. there it is already such a jihad crusade , because we are an orthodox traditionalist civilization that should simply be destroyed. to do this, they will pay any price, including bringing down their own economics vyacheslav alekseevich it seems to me that in

and what a plan we have for which john kirby , the representative of the white house of the president of the biden entire administration, did not have an answer, but do not worry, he said. we will supply enough fuel in europe so that they can interfere with the ukrainian campaign of putin well, not everything is so chocolate in the country of the victorious crusade or jihads, as tucker carlson said i said chocolate, exclusively spoken by the europeans, as

once again said that iranian russia continues to lie about its cooperation and john kirby announced that the united states allies will do everything to bring them to justice and also do everything to limit such cooperation. to deliver additional means of anti-aircraft missile defense to ukraine, another topic i want to touch on is the menu from the usa accused five russian citizens of evading sanctions and money laundering but it is interesting that some of them turned out to be illegal supplied russia with technologies that were then used for military purposes. tell us what we know about this. at merry garland, he had a meeting with his german colleague and said that it was germany that helped arrest one of them, yuri orekhov, who was actually a participant in such an arrangement where he that certain high-tech spare parts were purchased in the united states and transferred to be equipped with russia itself. let's listen to what exactly the american said today. found and bought sensitive military technologies and dual-purpose technologies from american manufacturers and sent them t

that's what john kirby says. that's disinformation.hat's the kind of thing that only truly bad people say. okay. if the white house says, so obviously we have no choice but to believe it. but you still have to wonder, no one does believe that. why? where might some americans have gotten the notion that the biden administration might have been involved, directly or through a proxy, in the destruction of the north stream pipeline? why would they think that? they certainly didn't watch it on russia today. they didn't hear it from putin or any of hista ministers. of course, any book sympathetic to putin has been banned on amazon. he have piece that reflection the russian modern point of view have been censored in the united states. so actually if you think about it, if americans are deluded about what happened to the north stream pipeline, the delusion didn't come from moscow 'cause there's no way foremost could you to give us disinformation to the united states because the u.s. government have blocked it, long with the tech company. so wh

you heard joe biden and john kirby. how do you assess putin's russian nuclear threat now? seriously, he has a large selection of tactical special charges, including low-yield, especially after hitting the bridge, which is logistically critical but also symbolic. we need to take it seriously and think it over. as respond, considering it necessary to sit down at the negotiating table. i am concerned about president biden's high-pitched rhetoric, which is already off the charts, we need to turn back and make every effort to sit down at the negotiating table and resolve the cause of peace. and this i ask you to notice tbc new with which, in russia's sympathies, uh, trump

you heard what john kirby just said. how do you assess the nuclear threat from russia right now? >> well, i have to take putin seriously. he's got lots of options with tactical nuclear weapons from very low yield nuclear weapons. he's a cornered, i believe, animal, and i think he's more and more dangerous with just what's happened in the last 24 hours, that bridge was struck, which was logistically critical, as well as very symbolic. so i think we have to take him seriously and think through what requirements would be for us to respond to that. it also speaks to the need, i think, to get to the table. i'm a little concerned about the language, which we're about at the top, if you will. >> president biden's language. >> president biden's language, we're about at the top of the language scale, if you will, so i think we need to back off that a little bit and do everything we possibly can to try to get to the table to resolve this thing.

we spoke to john kirby who is denying the us is negotiating directly with venezuela.there is work to do. president biden asked about the venezuela talks and he said everything is on the table. why are we trying to make deals with dictators? >> a long time habit. president biden whether it is saudi's or venezuelans, there's a few elements to venezuelan issues, under trump chevron was asking to be allowed to have its access in venezuela so maduro couldn't sell them for 5 or $6 billion. there is a negotiation of us prisoners happening right now but also yet another poor policy failure by biden, increasing glee, i don't think it is incidental that saudi arabia announced they will cut production and raise prices. why are they doing that? biden keeps negotiating with the uranian ayatollahs, left a power vacuum in afghanistan which makes the saudis mad so they are sending him a message. they are not our friends, they are transactional allies. so now biden, instead of telling the us oil industry we are going to permit, lease, they are going to go to venezuela and this frustra

let's get more from john kirby, the national security coordinator for strategic communications. ill get to iran in a moment. such an important story. first, presidents biden and zelenskyy spoke today as the u.s. announced yet another military aid package to ukraine. how will these new weapons sustain ukraine's major advances in the east and south? >> well, if you look at the systems that are in this package, more of the high-mobility advanced rocket systems, utility rocket systems, more howitzers, more vehicles, all of these things are consistent with the things in the last three or four going back several weeks now because we know from talking to the ukrainians these are exactly the kind of systems that they want and they need in this fight, particularly in the donbas, which is like farmland. kind of like kansas, very wide open, lends itself to what we call long-range fires which is what these systems are all about. >> all right. i wanted to shift our focus back to iran. as you saw, iranians are risking their lives to protest amid this brutal crackdown. beyond sanctions, what sp

you just heard what john kirby said. do you see any strategy differences? do you see anything that's going to work? >> well, you just don't know. i mean, north korea has been a real problem for decades, as you pointed out. i don't see kim jong-un changing his path at this point. i believe for some time that the path to any resolution of this has got to go through beijing brought on, pressure brought on by xi jinping with respect to dealing with kim jong-un. i'm fine with us negotiating directly if that's what kim jong-un wants to do. >> is denuclearlization really realistic at this point? >> i think we have to keep it out there. i think sometimes we lose perspective on how devastating these weapons are, and i think we need to do everything we possibly can to the extreme to make sure that that still is a possibility, and i'm just not willing to admit that it isn't yet. i know it's difficult. kim jong-un is following his father, his grandfather, this cycle of provocation, et cetera. it's well known. whether we're able to break it or not, i don't know. i do th

perspective from national security spokesperson john kirby. ppreciate you joining us. how concerned is the united states and nato about these dirty bomb allegations that russia is making against ukraine? >> wit's deeply concerning and think you can pick up the tone and tenor from the readout the pentagon gave after secretary austin's call with his russian counterpart. certainly we know that these are faults allegations. there is no such dirty bomb planned by the ukrainians. that's just false. but that the russians would raise it at their request, they initiated that phone call, certainly gives us pause for concern. i will tell you, anderson, we watch this as closely as we can, including today, and we've just not seen any kind of preparations moving in that regard right now. >> what sort of preparations -- i don't know if you can say, but what sort of preparations would one see or could one see of a preparation for a dirty bomb attack? >> yeah. look, you would examine all kinds of different sources of intelligence, both from the ukrainians on th

today our colleagues also asked john kirby red e-e from the representative of the us national security council again about what the escalation on the part of russia indicates and whether it can intimidate ukraine or intimidate the west let's let's listen to what putin said. it is clearly not the actions of a confident leader, a leader who feels confident in how this war is being waged, it is brutal, it is bloody, it is ugly, and as the president said, it is in particular about war crimes and atrocities by putin deliberately pursues civilian targets and tries to kill ukrainian civilians not to mention their soldiers and he tries to instill fear in them but it has the opposite effect he helped unite nato he strengthened the resolve of the international community he absolutely did not instill fear in the hearts of the ukrainian people you could see how they sang on the subway after the terrorist attacks over the weekend, they took to the streets, they are brave, they are capable, they are determined, and the united states, with our allies and partners around the world, will continue provi

and you have colleagues and our viewers write john kirby for an hour because, according to the american government, there are no signs that russia is preparing to use a dirty bomb either, however , on the one hand, they really say that they deny the accusations that came from moscow, on the other hand, they believe that this is a real possibility, a real threat. is really monitoring , and of course the threat is not what ukraine can use, but what russia can somehow use in this game that is happening right now, journalists from washington were just now with we, uh, our filter continues time news, i understand, but we are not saying goodbye, we will meet immediately after the release of the news olena morozova yes, colleagues thank you, we are working for our viewers, so everything can be further ahead, innocent, so do not miss the only news together, we are strong, the armed forces need drones, make it yours contribution our weapon is the truth in the studio of the channel council we continue the united moment we will continue to work on the information front first of all briefly about t

john kirby is a representative of the national security council, commenting on the negotiations, he said that now none of the parties are not ready to sit down at the negotiating table russia is not ready because it simply does not want, it is obvious that putin wants to continue his aggression ukraine is not in a position to negotiate because it is currently focused on counteroffensive operations and it is important to focus on the armed forces this is what john kirby commented on in addition, when these negotiations can take place, he and in what way he says that it will be decided only by the ukrainian people and the ukrainian government of the green united states to support ukraine militarily until that moment when she thinks that it will be possible, here is his comment on the coat of arms: our role is to make sure that we continue to support ukraine on the battlefield so that when the matter comes to negotiations, president zelenskyi can also succeed what he's willing or not willing to negotiate with the russians , but that moment hasn't come yet, so we're focused on making sure he

. >> i want to bring in now the white house national security council spokesman john kirby. and, admiral, i appreciate your time. look, we're hearing putin's top commander talk about what he says are difficult decisions when it comes to kherson. it has been under russian control since the beginning of the war. ukraine has made some significant gains there. what does your intelligence indicate? is ukraine on the verge of another major win there? >> they certainly are putting a lot of pressure on the russian troops that are around sort of the northwestern edge of their presence in the kherson oblast. they're across from the dnipro river, but they're sort of isolated. the ukrainians are putting a lot of pressure on them, erin. and they're sort of advancing on multiple fronts in part of the kherson oblast. from what we've been seeing, there haven't been a lot of geographic advances made, but they are applying more pressure which may explain why russian officials are thinking about moving the troops back from the river so that they don't get cut off. >> the head of ukraine's defe

now, national security council coordinator for strategic communications john kirby says it is time to the u.s./saudi relationship. want to bring in cnn chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins. you asked kirby to clarify this statement he first made this morning. what did he tell you? >> reporter: yeah, it is a big question, john, of what does that look like and will it live up to what the democratic lawmakers should be the result of opec plus making this decision to slash oil production. and right now we're told that there is no special team inside the administration conducting a formal review of the u.s./saudi relationship. no deadline so far. they haven't really said exactly what they believe the options for this review could look like. but john kirby did say this review is being conducted, president biden wants it take another look at what the u.s./saudi relationship is going to be and whether or not it is serving the united states national security interests. now, those are, of course, still big questions about whether or not that's going to result in any formal change to

john kirby with the national security council spoke on the subject to bloomberg about what to expectthis package. >> we have yet more additional security packages and i think you will see yet another announcement. as you know a week or so ago, we announced another round of security assistance and it did include additional ammunition as well as howitzers. guy: the impact of that is now clear to see. the gains made in the east, the gains in the south, they are starting to stack up and these are regions that had been annexed. a huge blow to putin and his government in moscow. we are seeing big gains made on the ground in ukraine by ukrainian forces supported by nato weapons. what are you hearing in washington about the risks and how they could potentially be growing as ukrainian forces make these gains? are people worried about a more aggressive response from russia? >> there are two things people are focused on. one is putin who said he would not go and call it reserve units but actually is, and we are focusing on how many reservists they are able to get. john kirby spoke about this ye

if it was above been widened he just answer the question why did john kirby let out mislead? was like godly good for billy madison, it was word vomit. when joe biden took office, the price of gas was 2.38 and now it's $3.91, 64% increase in that will happen when the first day in office you do things like cancel keystone xl pipeline and saying we won't issue anymore releases for drilling exploration on federal lands and waters. that's why we are in this situation. elizabeth: the white house slams shortsighted decision but refused to agree biden draining the strategic reserves is also shortsighted decision. it hurts u.s. national security and leaves this nation more exposed to the whims of opec and russia. working middle-class americans face higher winter energy costs is coming winter, 60% in the country but they downplayed it clean energy, natural gas is clean or efficient and lowers america's admissions last generation, household natural gas, we've talked about this. they produce lower greenhouse gas emissions and even electricity but you've got environmentalists talking abou
