john kirby: yes, ma'am. reporter: the court believes there is a plausible risk of genocide and specifically directing israel to prevent genocide. john kirby: [indiscernible] reporter: [indiscernible] john kirby: we have no indication that that is going on. we have no indication that they are deliberately trying to exterminate the people of gaza. reporter: the iscj cited inflammatory statements made by israel's defense minister referring to them as human animals on the president of israel sang the entire population of gaza is responsible. do you not see that as risking incitement? john kirby: statements like that are counterproductive and unhelpful, no question about that, but we have not seen any indications that israeli defense forces are getting up putting the boots on the floor and sink their whole effort is to go exterminate the palestinian people. they are trying to on the threat that hamas poses. i want to be very clear and high have said this a main times and you are probably sick of me following up o

how did john kirby wind up behind the podium anyway?ter: two weeks after karine jean-pierre was elevated to the job after jen psaki left and two weeks later john kirby named to a role undefined because he is not part of the press shop and not part of the communication shop, they made up a title for him under umbrella of national security council. president biden was watching pentagon briefings during early days of ukraine and russia war and he thought this effective communicator in virginia and said we should have that guy over here and we know that in time sense going back to may of 2022, almost two years ago now that in the time since john kirby did not have a close relationship with the president developed one. we have seen him any time there is international news, he is the guy they bring out to break it down and explain how the government is -- >> ainsley: seems to do a good job doing it and seems pretty likeable. something about the way he presents. >> steve: joe biden asks john kirby about -- has kirby brief people on air force o

john kirby's attitude there, cavalier, your credibility is gone.about what they did. when you have a break in our defense system and the president did not know that the secretary of defense was out of action and national security advisor did not know that and own deputy was not told to take over until well within this problem, that problem is concerning for me as service member and others who served and across the world. what if somebody had happened and nobody knew what to do. this is something they can't wash away, credibility factor is gone and i would hate to be john kirby or anybody else trying to convince reporters they are not hiding something. >> carley: the deputy secretary had to assume some of auof austraustoff lloyd austin's roles from her vacation. john kirby says he would not accept resignation if austin handed one down. there is also this wild story out of new york city. students at one high school are being told to attend class remotely today while their school is converted to a migrant shelter during a massive storm. what do the pe

a final brief thought because john kirby - from iraq and syria.a | thought becausejohn kirby in a news conference was irritated by a question he was asked in terms of the options thatjoe biden would choose,is the options thatjoe biden would choose, is it impacted by the fact that we are in an election year, do you think that is in any way part of the equation here?— the equation here? certainly, an election year _ the equation here? certainly, an election year does _ the equation here? certainly, an election year does play - the equation here? certainly, an election year does play and - the equation here? certainly, an election year does play and part| the equation here? certainly, an i election year does play and part in every presidential candidate's calculations here, but i think the wider issue is that the iran policy with the biden administration has been seen as a failure with many and they believe finally they need to step up and this is a prime example why the biden administration needs to do more with iran and that is the message here fro

. >>> john kirby in the white house briefing room. the key issue here, of course the attacks on u.s. soldiers in the middle east, three of them killed. dozens injured. he pointed out that many of them were asleep in their beds. now, what's the united states going to do about it? the key decision that president biden has to make now. he said, we do not seek a wider war. we do not seek to escalate. we are not looking for a war with iran. john kirby pointing out repeatedly, they have taken the lives of three american service members. what do we know? we know the president met with his national security team yesterday. he met with his national security team again today. john kirby not aware of any direct message between the president and iran right now. and as has been pointed out, this decision incredibly complex, in fact, probably an extreme understatement when john kirby said there is no easy answer to responding to this attack. let me bring in nbc's andrea mitchell. i know you had a chance to talk to the foreign minister from qatar. w

we listen to john kirby in direct speech. we expect russia and north korea to draw conclusions from these launches. we also predict that russia will use additional north korean missiles to launch strikes on the civil infrastructure of ukraine. and murders of innocent ukrainian citizens. such ballistic missiles have a range of nearly 900 km, and this is a significant escalation of north korea's support for russia, which is worrisome. well, here is an interesting moment, and why kimchen was so generous and decided to give russia his ballistic missiles. is it only about the money that the kremlin pays? no, not only in money. and that's what admiral john kirby talked about in this briefing as well, and he said that in exchange for these missiles , pyongyang, official pyongyang hopes that russia will also help him. in terms of the military, first of all, the ubynians want to receive from russia, i don't know if they agreed , because mr. kirby did not say this, but they want to receive from russia new russian fighter jets, which ar

we talked about this on the show yesterday with the nsc coordinator, john kirby, who we very much appreciate. he comes on the show often. we're glad he does. but we asked him some pointed questions yesterday. watch this. >> john, do we have a southern border? >> do we have a what? >> do we have a southern border? >> yes, ma'am. of course we do. >> how come people can flow across it every day? hundreds and thousands -- 300,000 people in december. >> we're working very hard to try to fix that, martha. that's why we need congressional action. >> martha: okay. so as this border standoff ramps up, now you have this growing list of republican governors across the country that are supporting standing by the texan governor abbott who has put razor wire on his border to preserve and protect his own state. kristi noem of south dakota is among them. governor noen, thanks very much. good to have you here today. >> thanks for inviting me to talk about this. this is incredibly important. governor abbott has done the exact right thing. i'll drive him more razor wire from south dakota if i have to for him t

here is john kirby yesterday, listen how the timeline changes.irst biden knew friday, then thursday. >> the president has known for five days now that secretary austin was in the hospital and wasn't informed, why? >> he was not informed until last friday that secretary austin was in the hope. >> last week we learned jake sullivan found out about the fact secretary austin was hospitalized on thursday morning, are you saying president found out later than the nsc. they informed the president thursday evening. >> kayleigh: great question, thursday evening, not friday, get your facts straight. >> emily: what i find troubling about john kirby's explanation, figure head of cabinets, there is a group, it is okay, we don't want decisions in hands of one set. the worry is not only that chain of succession was out of the country, sick, in the hospital, whatever, the president and no one else noticed. why is this such a big deal? >> white house had to come out with a statement saying they will make sure cabinet officials make sure they inform the president

john kirby knows he is not just talking to the american people, he is speaking to iran.ng there? read between the line? >> they don't want to go overboard, i have been with the fifth fleet before, we have everything in the region, if we give them permission to do what they need to do to stop iran in its tracks. >> carley: do you think biden administration should attack iran directly? do you support that? >> we don't want a war with iran, we want to stop attacks we've had 160 minor attacks have escalated over and over again. if we don't attack clearly and strongly, we know what to do, we don't want a war, we have everything we need to stop this aggression from iran. >> carley: sanctions is a big element, pull funding from iran so they can't supply money to iranian proxy forces who are attacking our servicemembers and three have died. we lost two navy seals and have americans who are prisoners in gaza. on the gaza front, your colleague, bernie sanders, made a comment talking about un relief organization called unra. 12 employees took part in the october 7 terror attack inc

john kirby will be at her side as well after the death of two navy seals. we will be watching for this closely. those seals going missing in the waters during a mission to seize iranian weapons headed to yemen. all this as the tehran-backed terror group shows no signs of letting up. keenly interested what happens in the briefing room a few moments from now. sandra smith in new york. >> john: john roberts in washington. that weekend went by quickly, didn't it? president biden mourning the loss of two navy seals releasing a statement writing in part "they represented the very best of our country." >> sandra: and it all comes as the biden administration is reportedly preparing for a sustained military campaign targeting the houthis as they continue to attack commercial shipping in the red sea. >> john: and breaking a short time ago, the pentagon revealing 11 iranian proxy attacks on u.s. bases in just the past five days, upping the total number of attacks to a whopping 151 now. >> sandra: right to chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin, an upda

today, john kirby, a representative of the us national security council, confirmed that ... the attack on the us military is behind the militants, there is a group that is supported by iran, but he did not say from the podium what specific group is behind it. the day before, us president joe biden said that the united states will respond at a time and in a manner determined by washington. let's listen to his words. we had a rough day in the middle east last night. last night we lost. three brave soldiers during an attack on one of our bases, and i ask for a moment of silence, we will respond, may god bless you all, that this may... be for the response john kirby today at the white house briefing said no will publicly announce what options are being considered, what the response might be, but certainly the discussion of this is actively ongoing, just yesterday president biden gathered his national security team, here at the white house, today there was another meeting again, which ended just a few hours ago, the united states secretary of defense lloyd austin, also the head of american

this was announced by the coordinator of the national security council of the united states, john kirbyhat no abuses were found in the already provided military aid. in addition, experts are working in ukraine to monitor the situation. the white house hopes that this will help persuade. here is the congress to allocate money to help ukraine for the current year. let's listen to the direct speech. we will do everything it is possible to continue to support ukraine, but in terms of the types of weapons systems that we can provide and the frequency with which we have provided them, every two weeks. these opportunities ended on the 27th.

and later, we will talk with john kirby from the national security council. we're going to get the white house's view of the latest biden netanyahu exchange. you're watching the weekend. you're watching the weekend. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. ask about nurtec odt.

this was announced by the coordinator of the national security council of the united states, john kirbyhat no abuses were found in the already provided military aid. in addition, experts are working in ukraine to monitor the situation. hope in the white house. that this will help convince the congress to allocate money for aid to ukraine for the current year. let's listen to the direct speech. we will do everything it is possible to continue to support ukraine, but in terms of the types of weapons systems that we can provide and the frequency with which we provided them every two weeks, those opportunities ended on december 27th, when we allocated our last package for the year, which we had funding. vasyl, here are kirby's words that no abuses have been detected in the military aid provided, and there are american specialists working in ukraine who monitor this, this is important information, i think, first of all for the congressmen, who should understand what needs to be done to continue to support our state , well absolutely, because this is how russia spread this fake very actively,

karine jean-pierre an affectionately known as a binder despises john kirby. the well-qualified straight white guy stealing her podium time. the white house dei cold war began in october when binder was asked if that was bad to hate the jews? what is the level of concern right now about potential rise of anti-semitism in light of everything that is going on in israel. >> a couple things. look, we have not seen any credible threats. look, muslim and those perceived to be muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate fueled attacks. >> after binder bricked the layup john kirby was called off the bench to save the briefings. kirby has been doing such a better job than binder. joe biden has an identity politics civil war on his hands. axial saran the numbers. over the last three months binder has been allowed to brief the press by herself without kirby overseeing her wants. so team binder is playing the race card. leaking that the situation was insulting because it suggested that the first black press secretary to represent the president needed supervision

just a short time ago john kirby told a reporter no change regarding austin's position, despite growing calls for resignation. hello, this is "outnumbered," i'm kayleigh mcenany, here with emily compagno and harris faulkner. hudson institute senior fellow rebecca heinrichs and fox news contributor and host of guy benson show, guy benson. austin's ordeal began december 22 right-hand, when he underwent a procedure at walter reed and returned to intensive care unit last monday with severe pain. austin's next in command was given some duties next day but not told he was in the hospital. the white house had no clue that the secretary of defense was hospitalized. senior pentagon officials and congress learn the news on friday. austin's condition was closely guarded. one dod official was told the secretary was working from home. austin is recovering in the hospital and we wish him the best. i could have done a better job of keeping the public inform. this was my medical procedure and i take full responsibility for disclosure. there is war in europe and middle east, tacks in the middle east and

when john kirby brings up fact they want more border patrol.iewpoint is to process more immigrants. razor wires working, stop people from coming into the country. in shelby park, texas said border patrol can't come, they will undermine work we have done and try to diminish the effort we put in to stop migrants from coming in. they are not working to secure the border, they want more migrants to come in. most americans sit back and say, what is going on? the president wants open borders. it does not make sense and in the house it does not make sense. you can't negotiate with someone who does not want a secure border. >> harris: donald trump came close. he was dealing with millions of people here illegally already and that number now is six to eight million more than he saw then. it is interesting, he could have gotten that done with help of democrats and they wanted to be bipartisan. perhaps one of the last chances to do that in the fear future, hope not. >> emily: senator john fetterman said, i don't know what is wrong with saying we need secur

we'll speak to the national security council's john kirby about all of that straight ahead. >>> plus, just three days away now, the final stretch for republican candidate in iowa. how they're hoping to get people to the caucuses with even a foot of snow potentially arriving. >>> and it's not just in iowa, that snow is coming down hard across the midwest and the great lakes. we'll have a full forecast of what to expect there and across the country. ♪♪ >>> hello on this friday, it is 10:00 eastern. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. we begin with that breaking news, what could turn into a major escalation of the conflict in the middle east. the united states and the uk launching strikes against houthi targets in yemen hitting airports, military bases and weapons facilities. these strikes in response to weeks of attacks by the militants on commercial ships in the red sea, and now the houthis vowing to retaliate saying those involved will, quote, pay absolutely. let's bring in nbc news pentagon correspondent courtney kube, nbc's josh lederman is in southern israel on the coast of th

karine jean-pierre will also take to the microphone after john kirby. >> john: in the meantime as alllace, a republican congressman from pennsylvania is facing new efforts to remove him from the keystone state's 2024 ballot. a liberal activist has asked a court to disqualify congressman scott perry, accusing him of insurrectionist activity following the 2020 election, essentially mirrors the ballot challenges against donald trump and several states. sarah bedford, so, i guess you know, it's a slippery slope, the dam has burst. you go after donald trump and then after anybody who supported him in 2020. >> absolutely. where does it end. if you look at the texas of the lawsuit brought by this liberal activist and what congressman perry is accused of engaging in -- insurrection, it opens up a black hole. are these 14th amendment lawsuits going to qualify as insurrection if a republican gets into office, it's a dangerous slope and applying any official, court, secretary of state, anyone can decide if anything is insurrection. >> perry has not been charged by anyone, however his cell phone

but now, as john kirby said, the money for ukraine has already run out. we provided ukraine with the last package of security assistance, for which we have funds just before the new year and after christmas. and we have to get the support of congress so we can continue to do that. and the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine , dmytro kuleba, in a comment to cnn, once again called on congress not to struggle with providing aid to ukraine, because, as kuleba says, money for ukraine is an investment, not charity. we have no plan b. we are always confident in plan a, ukraine will always fight with the resources available to it. and, as nato secretary general rightly said, everything that is provided. this is not charity, this is an investment in the defense of nato and an investment in the protection of the prosperity of the american people. because, even theoretically, if russia prevails in ukraine, then other world leaders will be tempted to follow russia's example, and ensuring security in our region and in other regions of the world will then demand a m

john kirby reaches out for sympathy and condolences, describing the day as terrible. yesterday was a terrible day for israel. this means losing a huge number of troops in one day. without hesitation, we offer our condolences to all their families and teammates. he was once asked about the soldiers being killed in the war. this time, the ukrainian war on may 14. the spokesperson of the national security council of america this time, in addition to sympathy, they hate. and as for john kirby's answer to the journalist's question about the victims of thousands of palestinians in the aggression of the zionist regime in the gaza war, the victims who they are mainly children and women, not military personnel of 1402. that's what war is, it's brutal, it's violent, it's ugly , and innocent civilians will be harmed in it. mr. president, in my opinion, the united states should end our complicity in these actions. hosni sadat shabiri , saati news agency , i spoke with mr. hassan haider, professor of political science at the lebanese university, about the casualties of the zionist

host: john kirby at the white house yesterday. iran is blaming israel for that attack. the washington times front page story this morning -- that is from the front page of the washington times this morning. joseph in point pleasant, a republican, good morning to you. what's on your mind this morning, what public policy or political issue? caller: something you said early in the show, if i can make a couple of points. you said when you had the economist on that social security was the driver of the debt. i started paying into that 40 something years ago with the promise that when i got older the government would pay me. that was my money. that money was taken, stolen, it was a ponzi scheme and now i pay for illegal aliens coming into this country. i don't know why my money is part of the debt. it shouldn't be part of the debt, it was paid for. i don't understand why people don't realize that. it was a ponzi scheme, they took my money and spent it on people that don't belong here. host: john in tennessee, republican. caller: yeah. host: good morning. caller: yeah, how are

in this case, john kirby is right. president biden shouldn't be making an election-related decision here. he has to calibrate this in the way he thinks will have the largest chance of both deescalating and sending a message to the iranians. he has lots of options, including signal ing to iran through the europeans, through other means, that he's going to do x and if it they don't respond, then this will be over, but they should get the message. i'm not sure any of this is going to work buzz each of these proxy groups operates with their own set of individual interests. they are not under the direct thumb of tehran. that's the problem with having proxy groups fighting wars. sometimes they do really stupid things. >> what is sense of the concrete impact that the u.s. cough on this in terms of trying to go after the way these weapons are supplied? it seems like what's going on in yemen hasn't been as effective as i think some people would conceive of the u.s. military to be able to be. do you think that we actually are ca

but john kirby's answer to the reporter's question about. the victimization of thousands of palestinians in the aggression of the zionist regime in the gaza war asks the victims who they are mainly children of weight and not the army of abane 1402. that's what war is. it's brutal, it's violent , it's ugly, and innocent civilians will be harmed in it . i wish we could tell you something else. he says he cannot say anything else for the palestinians. similar to what he said for zionist soldiers or ukrainian soldiers. maybe one of the reasons can be found here. in the speech of this american senator in january 1402. the truth is that we supply the bombs that they use . the truth is that we have spent 3.5 billion dollars in military aid every year for a long time we have provided israel. but instead, netanyahu's government continues to pursue its military approach, which is an immoral and incomplete approach to international law. mr. president, in my opinion, america should end our complicity in these actions . greetings and greetings to you, de

us national security council spokesperson john kirby has called the lawsuit meritless, counterproductive and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever. meanwhile, secretary of state anthony blincan said the submission distracts the world. from efforts for quote unquote peace and security and pointed the finger of blame at resistance forces in the region and iran. if is... israel is fighting with american missiles and vehicles, guns and munitions and diplomatic cover and stonewalling, it is fighting essentially an american war, and every palestinian casualty isn't just caused by israel, but also by america. the south african case against israel can thus be safely assumed to be one against the united states as well. as america provides the military supplies and israel does the actual fighting, both the washington and tel aviv regimes can and should be held accountable. "this is my land and my country. it is not only the 1948 or 1967 borders from the sea to the river. i am not ready to let go of a centimeter. israel is here like any for by the support of the europe, by the support of

response, of course, neither sabrina singh or john kirby has been on the air earlier. we will telegraph exactly how the u.s. will respond. that something the ministration is, a, still trying to figure out, and b, we will let you know when the decision has been made. >> and, oren, this particular drone came in and took out the living quarters, it appears. it was coming in at the same time or around the same time as a u.s. drone returning to the base. so now, of course, there are questions about whether the militia was exploiting that and able to kind of get through the defenses in that regard and also what this means more broadly for u.s. defenses and other bases, as well. >> of course. >> reporter: that's one thing the defense department is trying to figure out. we have learned from two u.s. officials that this drone, this attack drone that struck near the living quarters and killed three soldiers and wondered so many others came through at about the same time as a u.s. drone was returning to base and that caused a bit of confusion and a delayed response to the attack

that meeting was described as constructive which is exactly how john kirby described those talks this morning on cnn, you. the word from paris is that significant gaps remain. joining us right now is a former ambassador, ryan crocker. he served as ambassador to, well everywhere that is critical right now. ambassador lebanon, kuwait, pakistan, afghanistan, and he's now a nonresident senior fellow. ambassador, let's jump right in. if we hear tony blinken speak, we'll listen in and hear what he can tell us, but the range of paths forward here with regard to the hostages includes a phased release of more than -- of the more than 100 remaining hostages in gaza exchanged for thousands of palestinians in israeli jails and a suspension of the war for potentially two months. i've heard you say before that there are no good options in the middle east. does this seem like the most likely good/bad option? >> i think it is, kate. the release of the hostages is, i think, critical to any movement forward toward a broader settlement or even a sustained pause in the fighting. so i think the administra

here's an audio file of us national security advisor john kirby briefing reporters on the matter. i would just tell you that nothing has changed about president biden's desire that two-state solution is really in the best interest of not only. the israeli people, but uh, but of course the palestinian people, in fact it's in best interest of the region, and we're not going to stop working towards that goal, and this is, this is not a new comment by prime minister netanyahu, we obviously see it differently, we believe uh, that the palestinians have every right to live an independent state with peace uh and security, um, and the president and his team is going to continue to work on that. john kirby there, um, sab, there seems absolutely no acknowledgement there that washington and tel aviv as the chief architects of the palestinian agony should have no say over its future. this is you know the leadership of the united states of america, forget the zin to the side the psychopathy and the the way they speak and they talk like psychopaths, they don't acknowledge what they done and what

that is why john kirby emphasized that it is extremely important that the inquiry, presented by the uspresident for additional financing of ukraine was approved by congress. the year when the armed forces of ukraine became stronger. in 2023, the ukrainian army received weapons that had a significant impact on the course of the war. first of all. it is about strengthening the protection of the ukrainian sky. the latest air defense systems of western production have reduced the potential of enemy air attacks. in particular, in the spring of 2023 , the american patriot air defense system, which was provided to our country by the united states, went on combat duty in ukraine. on may 4, he first visited history intercepted the russian kinzhal hypersonic missile. the russians claimed that it was impossible to shoot it down. but there are few such systems in ukraine. one from usa, another one from germany and several launchers from the netherlands. berlin promised to provide a third system this winter, whether it has already been deployed is not known. the air force of the armed forces of ukr

these weapons, which are provided to ukraine, be used, and so, at yesterday's briefing, admiral john kirbyid that they would listen to the republicans and be more active. monitor where the us weapons are going, ok monitor, just vote to give us these weapons as soon as possible, we're honestly asking you to, after all, you understand. the united states of america introduced new anti-russian sanctions. this was announced by the us secretary of state anthony blinken. according to him, the new restrictions apply to three legal entities and one physical entity. all of them are involved in the transfer of ballistic missiles to russia. from north korea in washington claim that the missiles transferred to moscow were used by it during a military operation in ukraine, further - a quote from mr. blinken: the transfer of ballistic missiles to russia by north korea supports russia's aggressive war, increases the suffering of the ukrainian people and undermines the global regime of misunderstanding. it's a bit surreal, you must agree. north korea gives a bunch of missiles, well... i don't know if it's

alexander, we would like to ask you about john kirby's statement, right? john kirby, let me remind you, is the coordinator of of strategic communications of the national security council of the united states of america. yeah, he said, well, this bailout was the last one. we understand that, well, the key story is a continuation of what kirby said, that is, when there will be a decision of the congress, accordingly, the auxiliary. the packages will be delivered in time , but, well, we understand that the congress has not yet been in session, we are all waiting, everyone is quite nervous, well, the russian propagandists have already started to spread kirby's phrase, somewhat taken out of context, but in any case, what do you think , as much as we will have in the present the situation is difficult without american help, in particular, it is about the prospects of transition to help from the european union? europe can only che... partially compensate for the lack of aid from the us, regarding the aid package that was talked about, this aid package is meant to

national security advisor john kirby, briefing reporters on the matter. i would just tell you that nothing has changed about president biden's desire that two-state solution is really in the... interest of not only the israeli people, but uh, but of course the palestinian people, in fact it's in best interest of the region, and we're not going to stop working towards that goal, and this is this is not a new comment by prime minister netanyahu, we obviously see it differently, we believe uh, that the palestinians have every right to live an independent state with peace uh and security, and the president and his team is going to continue to work on that. john kirby there, um, sab, there seems absolutely no acknowledgement. there that washington and tel aviv, as the chief architects of the palestinian agony, should have no say over its future, this is you know the leadership of the united states of america, forget the z decide the psychopathic and the the way they speak and they talk like psychopath, they don't acknowledge what they done and what they are do

commentary by john kirby, following. we have seen reports of this.get more information, but it would be unreasonable. to speculate on this topic now, i just don't know which of these reports is true, the ukrainians say one thing, the russians another, and we don't know enough facts to comment on everything. former us president donald trump is one step closer to the republican presidential nomination. the day before, he won the party elections primaries in new hampshire. with 96% of ballots counted, trump has more than 54% of the popular vote, nikki haley more than 43. the former south carolina governor said she will stay in the race and focus on her home state's primary on february 24. however , public opinion polls are not in her favor, and the chances that she will be able to compete with trump remain less and less. how did the primaries go and what do they mean for the future of racing? let's talk about it with iryna solomko, who currently works in new hampshire. irina, congratulations, how did the primaries go in your precinct, where were you and

closely following the decision of the american congress on the supply of arms to ukraine, said john kirby, coordinator of strategic communications of the white house security council, during a briefing. according to him, some western countries are looking at the united states of america and if the us refuses. from supporting ukraine, then they too can follow the example of washington and also, to our great regret, to stop sending aid to kyiv. admiral kirby emphasized that currently one of the priority types of weapons for the armed forces of ukraine is anti-aircraft defense, but ukraine may only have enough ammunition for artillery for a few months, so there is no need to delay the continuation of aid, john kirby summarized. let's move a little closer to ukraine, on the eve of the german bundestag, to our great regret, they failed to vote, which before, which before... regarding the project, which provides sending taurus long-range missiles to ukraine. this draft law was submitted to the ukrainian parliament by the representatives of the opposition bloc cdu, csu, while representatives of

what you heard from john kirby there from the white house briefing. the answer is, it forces the president's hand to react much more strongly than he has when there were just light injuries are no injuries at all. the question is, how does he do that? choices range from unsatisfying, which is to say hit the proxies again, right now there is still a little bit of doubt about which proxy launched this attack and from where. the other option is to go right after the source of their funds and arms. that is iran. that is what you're hearing from republicans, that is a highly risky move. so risky that former president trump when he was in office pulled back twice the option of striking iran. >> that is a good point that you make. when we talk about these proxies and these regional groups, let's talk about the capabilities, let's talk about the goals and how the biden administration has been dealing with it. >> this is interesting. a lot of the focus that we have had has been on the iranian proxy groups in iraq and those in syria. among those in iraq is a gr

what have we learned from john kirby? >> so harris, it builds on what i was told first thing this morning when i asked does president biden have confidence in secretary austin? he and looking forward to him being back at the pentagon. kirby elaborated on that in the air. >> i want to make sure i put a fork in my answer to you. there is no plans for anything other than for secretary austin to stay in the job and continue in the leadership that he has been demonstrating. >> republicans want austin out. stefanik says at a dangerous time when american service members our closest partner and ally israel at war with hamas terrorists and the threat from communist china is on the rise. austin himself said he is okay and that i also understand the media concerns about transparency and i recognize i could have done a better job insuring the public was appropriately informed. i commit to doing better. this is important to say. this was my medical proper sired and i take full responsibility for my decisions about disclosure. secretar
