as we have been hearing, john kirby _ about. as we have been hearing, john kirby has — about.aid _ about. as we have been hearing, john kirby has said this _ about. as we have been hearing, john kirby has said this is - john kirby has said this is just the beginning and in terms of what you might expect to follow, and indeed the response in retaliation to these strikes, how concerned are you about how far this is going to go and how much this could escalate? i go and how much this could escalate?— go and how much this could escalate? ~' , , , escalate? i think everybody is concerned _ escalate? i think everybody is concerned and _ escalate? i think everybody is concerned and i _ escalate? i think everybody is concerned and i think- escalate? i think everybody is| concerned and i think ankara's government has expressed this. we're trying to find now to punish and deter without broadening this into a wider conflict. certainly between the united states and iran and lead to more instability in an already challenging situation in the middle east right now. i think what you saw, is

john kirby and karine jean-pierre are making comments.who defies every democratic president whether it's obama, clinton or biden. do you believe they are not listening to you or they can get away with it >> as the president said yesterday, too many of the many thousands of people killed in the gaza conflict have been innocent civilians. too many. we have been clear about our concerns with our israeli counterparts about that. i can't verify the specific numbers you are giving me but not here to refute them. too many is too many. that's why we'll keep working our israeli counterparts to do everything we can to get them to reduce the number of civilian casualties and they have been receptive. i understand there are still casualties but they have been receptive and do everything we can to get those numbers down. >> john, yesterday you said we need to -- some of the hostages being held by hamas may not be alive. does the u.s. believe all the american hostages are still alive? >> we don't have any information to the contrary. >> and one more fo

karine jean-pierre has been sharing the podium with john kirby and according to new report some bidenlike his presence could be perceived as an insult to his colleague because of her race and gender. mr. kirby's larger role to flurry of international news ands he will brief less often when the middle east crisis ebbs. perception is president biden allowed mr. kirby, who is white, to upstage a black woman as face of his white house and turned their double act into a third-rail subject. kayleigh, i have to admit, the insult i see and find, assertion that reduces everything to gender and race and has no place in kirby's experience and prowess and the reason he's there at the podium and i venture to say karine jean-pierre may feel the same way. >> kayleigh: of course "new york times" looks through that lens. i stood at the same podium, this is a brutal piece thats she yielded to a lower ranking official. he is no longer lower ranking he is appointed assistant to the president. he has clarity and comfort that can elude karine jean-pierre. it is unusual to have a co-host at the podium. ther

at the _ to restore deterrence. john kirby at the white - to restore deterrence. john kirby at the whiteo restore deterrence. john kirby at the white house has said this is not about sending a signal or a message, said this is not about sending a signal ora message, is said this is not about sending a signal or a message, is about degrading capabilities. to think that will have been done? again, time will tell. will have to see what the battle damage assessment show, what targets were hit, make no mistake iran is flush with cash. they have been selling billions of dollars of oil over the last couple of years and have been able to funnel enormous profits into their military proxy. the islamic revolutionary guard corps is really pulling a lot of strings throughout the region. they are the connective tissue that connects to a run to their terror proxy such as hezbollah in lebanon are, the houthis in yemen and elsewhere. we have designated the ir gc as a terrorist organisation because of the attacks at it and its proxies are committed against notjust american soldiers but iraqi civilians and

biden even if he does prefer john kirby cannot have a white male upstage a black female. ess secretary. and kirby is -- lauren: he was promoted to assistant to the president. and shares the podium it often gets a lot of questions. stuart: more on this later on the show. now this. taylor swift and kanye west drama continues which we are told popstar got kanye booted from his seat at the super bowl. did that happen? we have details. the 26 soccer world cup coming to america and expected to bring a lot of money and jobs with it. grady trimble has details on that next. ♪ ♪ as the head of hr, i help lead a successful home security firm. our teams work hard to secure our customers' most valuable assets. and while they do that, i work hard to secure ours... ...our people. that's why we chose principal to provide the benefits and retirement plan that show our people just how much we appreciate them. benefits help us keep top talent. —hey mom. benefits help us grow. because we know how important security is to all. ♪ ♪ me and my friends ♪ ♪ life is better with the credit gods are o

i'm not sure john kirby has actually ever said i want to be the press secretary.to be very gracious and deferential to karine jean-pierre when that's a very difficult thing. i remember one point george w bush always had in his white house there should be very clear lanes of responsibility and he would say if you're going to get out of your lane make sure you use your turn signal because it makes it a better way to operate inside. i understand their need to have more communicators on international affairs and foreign policy. john kirby is excellent at it and he's willing to come on all the shows and that's appreciated. she's not willing to come on all the shows, okay? and i also think she would do better to put away the binder, trust herself and communicate. for all the frustrations that the press might have with any press secretary, with this one in particular, i do think a lot of this comes from the top. you do not have the president of the united states carrying any of the water here. you can't just say, oh, i know, we have a terrible situation, we need to commu

john kirby has warned israel against launching a major offensive invest off any major military operation. and roughly, at this time, under these circumstances, with more than a 1000000, probably more like a 1000000 and a half palestinians who are seeking refuge and have been seeking refuge in rough or without due consideration for their safety would be a disaster. and we would not support. okay, let's bring it to really challenge. joining us from occupied is through some what we're going to write into these comments by john kirby that they wouldn't support this major offensive. and so coming to is really is believe that the us will do something about this as well as notes. but isn't it a certain sense of the blinking return from his freed this trip? trying to secure that cease fire agreement that the white house and state department criticism of israel is conducting this will have step top. now, it's a long way, i think before the us pools, it's uh military and diplomatic to support to his route, but definitely it's firing. so boarding shots across the bows. and the big question, of cour

let's hear what john kirby had to say.vdiyivka was under the threat of passing under russian control. this mostly happens because the ukrainian military is running out of artillery ammunition on the... frontline. russia sends troops to attack ukrainian positions wave after wave. because congress has yet to approve additional funding, we have no way to support ukraine with the ammunition they desperately need to thwart russian attacks. the price of congress' inaction is very high, and it falls on the shoulders of ukrainian soldiers. if the republicans do not act, what is happening now in ... may happen in other parts of the front. colonel, do you agree with john kirby that what is happening in the avdiivtsi, if ukraine does not receive help from the united states of america, can it spread to other areas of the front? of course, this is a war of drones, a war of artillery, artillery, no matter what, remains an important factor, especially deterring the enemy. drones,... the main factor in the impression of the enemy is high-

busy stands the us national security council spokesperson, john kirby. the white house podium has not been an easy place for him. not recently . we have seen some uncomfortable exchanges with reporters that have made their way into news broadcasts, viral, quips, online and even gifts. kirby has maintained an aggressive approach in his delivery whether audiences believe him or not is another matter. but listening posts, i mean obviously robbie now on john kirby and the challenge of selling a message that fewer and fewer people are buying here the animals here to give an update on what's happening in the middle east and take any questions you may have in the could be of any senior washington spokesperson, nothing. tons of the intensity, quite like a vote. for the man who has been behind the podium in the white house press briefing through the gaza award. the tide me little john cookie. the global spotlight has been shot. don't go big enough for me to let somebody to my last name on the call would be fun in washington. the national security spikes my badge

ostape, reacted as expected, john kirby, a representative of the us national security council, said that the supreme commander, actually volodymyr zelensky, should decide who he wants to see as the leader or head of his army. and too in times of war, so is he said that there is no concern in the united states that this could somehow destabilize the situation in any way. also, celeste wallender, the assistant to the head of the pentagon, said today that they are convinced that they will work effectively with the new command, and she herself said about general syrsky that he is an effective, experienced and successful commander. also today, john kirby, when -- one of the questions came to him, he said that the united states was in no way, was not involved in the decision-making process, he said that it the decision of the ukrainian authorities, president zelenskyi, and in no way was it coordinated with the united states, here is his full comment today. president zelensky is the commander-in-chief of his armed forces, he decides what the leadership will be. to the army, that is civilian con

and john kirby saying this overnight. >> i want to repeat again what i said in my opening comments, these responses began tonight. they're not going to end tonight. so there will be additional responses, there will be additional action that we will t take. >> the biden administration is looking to send a message to iran and its proxies that attack on american sources won't be accepted. remember, this is a direct response to that attack last sunday that left three americans dead and injured dozens more. ahead of the american strikes that included 125 precision guided missions, and left them on the ground saying this. >> before, whenever they wanted to talk to iran like other countries they said military option is on the table. now you do not hear those words anymore. they even say, we have no intention of any conflict with iran. >> u.s. secretary of defense lloyd austin indicated in a statement last night that president biden has approved other action against iran and its proxies. this could be posturing by the united states, but we do know the americans intend to keep the pressure very hi

international monopolies, john kirby. he told the american public not to listen to this interview with vladimir putin, which i just find insane because the liberal establishment media, his interview, proved in many times before, of course, with this, of the, of this, this facade of sincerity. but in actuality, what they were doing was a deep state political head job against boot in, in the russian federation. $20000000.00 in 2 hours is insane. i mean, that outpace is any main stream media outlet by leaps and bounds. that's really incredible. and i think it also shows the degree in which the american public in the western world, the english speaking world language values, the words of vladimir putin, the west, fails to comprehend. and when i say the west, the global is ruling elite is that this territory, historically, especially the never see a region he's russian territory. and it is not a territory that should be governed or dictated by the united states, which is what we've seen for so many years now leading up to febr

make sure people are making informed questions and approaches to what is going on right now. >> john kirbythe intelligence community is concerned about the declassification of sensitive material like this. do you think that should be declassified? >> mr. kirby in the administration are correct to be concerned. you don't want to expose the exquisite sources and methods that source information. same time, it's important we be able to have dialogue with the white house and the agencies at issue that are tracking and monitoring this as well as the folks who would be tasked with responding. right now we have to handle this carefully. >> what about the american people? they have seen this news. should they be concerned? >> they should be asking their legislators/lawmakers to take a look at this issue and work with committees, jurisdiction and the white house on how to respond. there are various threats that emerge all the time. it's our duty to respond to that. this is one of them. this is a serious issue. it's one i hope many legislators take seriously and look at the info and engage on it. >>

officials including national security council spokesperson john kirby the u.s. did inform the iraqi government beforehand, before they carried out these strikes inside iraq. that had been a particular sore spot for iraqis that the u.s. had not previously consulted with them before carrying out strikes against iran-backed militias inside the country prompting them to actually call for the u.s. to remove forces from the country. so we are learning they did provide that heads up. and in these targeting of these facilities they also encountered secondary explosions that was consist with these facilities of course housing ammunition supplies as well as other weapons supplies. so they are confident that these facilities were linked to iran's islamic revolutionary guard corp, particularly the kudz force, which is one of the most extreme elements of iran's military wing. this is the most significant escalation because it's the first time we've seen the u.s. strike iraq and syria simultaneously and target these kudz force facilities. remains to be seen how iran is going

us national security council spokes person, 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 f. peace and security and pointed the finger of blame at resistance forces in the region and if 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. israel was shaped by the flames of war. bengarian, cognisant of vulnerabilities, devised a strategic doctrine. yet, on october 7th, seismic tremors shook the foundation of this doctrine. facing unparalleled challenges, israel confronted economic appe

john kirby, the spokesman of the american national security council, said that three facilities in iraq and four facilities in syria were the targets of the attack . the spokesman of the yemeni armed forces announced a missile attack on targets in the south of occupied palestine. yahya announced that the missile unit of the yemeni armed forces, in support of the oppressed people of palestine and in response to the continued crimes of the zionist regime , targeted the occupied area of ​​umm rashrash with a number of ballistic missiles. data. the spokesman of the yemeni armed forces emphasized that the yemeni armed forces will hesitate to carry out more military operations against the zionist enemy on land and sea until the end of the aggression and the lifting of the blockade of the palestinian people in the gaza strip. the nations warned about the consequences of the zionist regime's possible military action in rafah. volker said that the military action in rafah endangers the lives of one and a half million palestinians and causes thousands of palestinians who came to rafah on the orde

joining us now john kirby, national security counsel coordinator for strategic communications. welcome back. good to see you, sir. >> good to see you. >> before the strikes started you knew there were critics who talked about the delay. one week ai go the soldiers were lost. militia leaders can't say they were warned and if any of them were still around the target areas they are the world's dumbest terrorists. was it too much of a delay? >> two thoughts there. first it's not like we held back any notification that we were going to respond if our troops were attacked. ''s been clear. we will respond. it's not as if prior to the attack last weekend that the militia groups and irgc and folks in tehran didn't know that we were going to take seriously any attack on our troops or facilities. then with the specific attacks that we struck, targets we struck friday night, you want to do this in a deliberate way. you want to carefully select your targets. you want to make sure all the parameters are in place to have good effects including factors in the weather. these attacks were using

john kirby in the build-u with iranians. john kirby in the build-up to — with iranians.dependently. to what extent is that true? . independently. to what extent is that true? , ., , ., that true? it is true and it is also untrue. when _ that true? it is true and it is also untrue. when general— that true? it is true and it is also | untrue. when general soleimani, that true? it is true and it is also - untrue. when general soleimani, the former commander of the irgc force was in charge, he was directing these militia groups more thanks to his charisma and personal leadership. but his successor has delegated more authority to these groups. which has its own benefits and drawbacks. the drawback is that they can act more independently and without iran's approval. the positive side is that in the absence or in the case that the commander is removed, they can act more independently. my belief is that iran was not interested in killing americans in the region and it did not provide them with the licence to kill american soldiers because iranians are very well aware that this c

i mean, just listen to what john kirby was saying, that the number of civilian victims is zero. um, this completely out of touchness, where the us and the west continue to um justify their complicency and and completely sign off on this genocide with this kind of rhetoric. so what he was saying is that the us has not seen indications that the israel forces are getting up out of the rack every day, putting their boots on the floor and saying that the whole effort is to exterminate the palestinian people. he just imately denied that and said, no, they're only trying to eliminate the... threat that hamas uh foldes, apparently now six-year-olds, four-year-olds and even newborn babies are hamas and not palestinian civilians, it is a bit sad, but thank you for that uh julia, for your presentation for what mainstream media is saying, that's a wrap for the segment, now ladies and gents, we move to the social media expose. social media has been pausating after the international court of justice, icj announced its interm ruling in the case filed. by south africa against the israeli regime

won't be shown the door but john kirby more competent but no less annoying is being given an expandedole. of course the white house insists this is not at all a slight of the profoundly talented karine jorch jean-pierre. >> with like two minutes left in the first half and i got a phone call from somebody here. i assumed it was a butt dial from somebody something watching the game. they were calling to make sure that we know that john kirby getting promoted is not a demotion for the press secretary karine jean-pierre. so basically, john kirby is just going to have an expanded portfolio here. >> laura: it's campaign mode now. what are they going to say that kjp unmitigated disaster? of course, the campaign to save joe also has to include a campaign to resurrect the political reputation of kamala harris. a go-to line of republicans today, of course is don't forget. a vote for joe is also a vote for this woman who when not not laughing like a jack call on meth. >> we have a lot of accomplishments. what americans want most in their leaders we actually get things done. we have done it. we h

i mean, just listen to what john kirby was saying, um, that the number of civilian victims is zero, um, this completely out of touchness, where the us and the west continue to um, justify their complicency and and completely sign off on this genocide with this kind of rhetoric. so what he was saying is that the us has not seen indications that the israeli forces are getting up out of the rack every day, putting their boots on the floor and saying that the whole effort is to exterminate the palestinian people. he just imately denied that and said no, they're only trying to eliminate the threat that hamas uh folds. apparently now six-year-olds, four year olds and even newborn babies are hamas and not palestinian civilians. it is bit sad, but thank you for that uh julia for your presentation for what mainstream media is saying, that's a rap for. segment now, ladies and gents, we move to the social media expose. social media has been pulsating after the international court of justice, icj announced its interm ruling in the case filed by south africa against the israeli regime over the gaza

now we've also heard at john kirby, this is for it is combat. it is bloody, it is ugly and it's going to be messy. and innocent civilians are going to be hurt . so again, these are the moral leaders and essentially you have john kirby, they're suggesting that you know, this is a war. this is a, is rarely self defense. and we are expecting many, many civilians to die. and we're going to allow our proxy, if you like, and the region to carry out as much a killing as, as they like, really with our political protection live, protected them in the u. n. remember as well as the us consistently emphasis the voting against the cease far as recently as, as an, as a number of days ago. and we bought it in his way of uh the as really is a far less squeamish about calling a spade a spade a regarding what they're actually doing in, in cause. i don't know what the lead. i've ordered a complete c jim gaza. there will be no electricity, ze, no food, no more, no fuel, everything will be cut off. we are fighting against human animals, and we are acting accordingly

the day before, our correspondent pecia vidaku svaara asked john kirby if the administration was planningend an additional request for ukraine separately from financing other urgent needs. i want to move now to the issues of ukraine and the border. it seems that the republic. in the house of representatives are changing their position and are now rejecting any compromise on the border or aid to ukraine because they do not want to give this victory to the president in an election year. do you have a way out of this trap? obviously, i can't talk about electoral politics or the motivations behind such decisions. it is very important that we receive this funding for ukraine, israel, the indo-tafrican region and of course for border security. the president conscientiously conducts negotiations with the senate. we believe these discussions are going well and we hope to have a resolution here relatively soon. now speaker johnson will decide what happens in the house of representatives, speaker johnson has not been consistent in what he wants to see on the border issue. so i would point people to

doesn't pay enough joining us now, white house national security council, communications coordinator john kirby, we appreciate your time. i may have met. i know you have your promotion and all that, kirby, i apologize if your title has shifted, i'll call you admiral as who s appreciate your time this morning. i want to start with the president's remarks yesterday they were very sharp. they were very pointed what led him to decide that he needed to make remarks like that in the wake of what we heard from his likely political appointment opponent november, he wanted to mark, of course, important moment in the senate, which get this bill through, which was an important milestone, hopefully to getting it to his desk and i think he wanted to recognize the moment that we're in right now is the house has to now take this up and make and make a decision about where they're going to stand. and i thought that the president felt it was important to make that case to the american people why this bill needs to go forward, why a lot of hard work went into it, and why it's important for the house to vote on i

there is a new report about new tension between the to top two public facing officials john kirby andine jean-pierre. according to the "new york times," quote: mr. kirby had privately acknowledged when asked that he would one day like to be named press secretary and he has expressed frustration ms. jean-pierre pick reporters ask him questions. guests like jake sullivan get to decide themselves who to call on at the microphone. it he's could the people talking in control. something democrats cannot control though are these questions and concerns about joe biden's age and acuity now think are hoping to make that a thing about trump, too. >> when it comes to the president's age, folks are talking about how he is 81. but we have to look at, first of all, donald trump is around the same age. >> 77, yeah. >> he is 77 years old. they could have gone to high school together. i know who i'm going to choose. one of the most successful presidents in modern american history, that passed the inflation reduction act. that got us the america rescue plan. >> peter: there is a big reuters plan all the

moments away from the white house briefing with press secretary karine jean-pierre and john kirby who just got a promotion, by the way, she will incur questions on the ex employees sieve robert hur report, more on that. and 2:30 p.m. eastern time, the pentagon will hold its own press briefing with defense secretary lloyd austin back in the hospital on the cusp of a trip, and a shooting at joel osteen's mega church. >> promoting clean energy and industries in the future, made in america, what i didn't realize, and i've been around i know it don't look like it, i've been around a while, i do remember that. [laughter] [cheering] >> john: president biden joking with his age and memory a short time ago and at any moment now, the white house expected to brief reporters as the president's allies rush to his defense following the devastating special counsel report. and with that, we begin a monday afternoon of what promises to be a very busy week. hello, john roberts in washington. buckle, sandra, here we go again. >> sandra: welcome everyone, sandra smith in new york. "america reports". demo

john kirby would not provide specifics on sanctions.iden administration is blaming congressional republicans for the breakdown in funding for ukraine. congressional correspondent aishah hasnie is on capitol hill tonight. good evening, aishah. >> good evening to you, john. well, right now house republicans are hitting back at the white house after president biden's national security spokesman john kirby basically blamed congress and congressional inaction for ukraine losing territory to the east. republican congressman chris smith tells fox that blame game won't work. instead he says the president should get in a room with speaker mike johnson. >> what do you think he should say at this point. >> well, i think he should say mr. president, why haven't you made the case? and i don't think just glibly saying oh, you guys are to blame carries any weight. because it doesn't. >> yesterday, the speaker spent time with former president trump in florida as the senate's $95 billion foreign aid package sits on ice. there is a slimmer alternative ma

also today is john kirby when...

and the spokesman for the us national security council, john kirby has warned israel against launching a major offensive on rough any major military operation. and roughly, at this time, under these circumstances, with more than a 1000000, probably more like a 1000000 and a half palestinians who are seeking refuge and have been seeking refuge in rough or without due consideration for their safety would be a disaster. and we would not support rotary talents as reaction from occupied the east jerusalem. certain sides of the blank and return from his freed this trip, trying to secure that cease fire agreement that the white house and state department criticism of israel is conducting this war. how step top now it's a long way, i think before the us pools, it's uh military and diplomatic to support too as well, but definitely expiring, some warning shots across the bows. and the big question, of course for the is right easy is your easiest as words words, words or audit deeds, to back it up. and we don't know exactly what the us is going to do next. it obviously depends on what israel is,

so you may even have, you know, john kirby speaking out against a journalist, you know, um or in kind of by proxy. but he was talking about also driving recruiting. don't listen to anything, he says, that's ridiculous because at the very least, america should be listening to what rushes trying to say. otherwise, how do we ever get to peace? how influential could this be? very influential because you have, you mentioned 57000000 but will probably go up to a 100000000 or even more when it, with replays and that surpassing tucker carlson audience on fox or any even combined fox, cnn, and all of that. so what's really, what's really great about this is that the american audience could see here, directly from the russian president, his point of view and really become educated because the bottom are put and said very clearly that they did not want to be the enemy of the west and had tried with peace accord several times and were supported. um, so there you have a, can i get your thoughts on the comparison between the 2 leaders by the way of putting and at the american leader, joe biden, bec

but listening posts mean actually robbie, now on john kirby and the challenge of selling a message that fewer and fewer people are buying. here the angles here to give an update on what's happening in the middle east and take any questions you may have in the could be of any senior washington spokesperson, nothing. tons of the intensity, quite like a vote for the man who has been kind the podium in the white house press briefing through the gods award. the tide me little john cookie, the global spotlight has been shot. don't go big enough for me to fill out to me from my last name on the phone with the sign in washington. the national security spikes my badge on cubby. i think of course as a personal or something, just a card be with just spend there on the for example, the white house and say, middle class concert, productive baseless. forget about the simple if this i don't see it mostly sentimental, call me and i mean it keeps on could be on his job in this role is to keep things from escalating. he does a pretty good job of staying on message, but more so his job is not to further a

however, according to the representative of the us national security council, john kirby, he said thatis unlikely that putin somehow managed to force the americans to change their minds. do you agree or what do you think? you know, well, first of all, it's hard, it's hard to understand and it's hard to understand what kind of impact such an interview can have, but in my opinion, i think those... both government officials and the us population who tend to support ukraine , obviously, this will not convince them, and those who are inclined, as if, already have doubts, or are already convinced that it is not in interests of the united states, to support ukraine, i think that they do not need additional evidence, since both society and american politics are extremely polarized . especially now when it comes to the presidential race, well we 're actually in the middle of the presidential race right now, so i don't think that this interview is going to have any major impact on the decision-making process, including in congress , where this draft law on aid to ukraine, ukraine and israel, i..

offensive involved when most of the population assault russians. national security council spokesman john kirby says, washington will not support plans that sort of risk the lives of about 1700000 seniors. and in fact, assigned the electoral commission has announced results for more than half of the seats and the national assembly after thursdays out leading the race. our independent candidates supported by the party of jails from a prime minister in mon costs value. as far as in joe biden says, his memory is fine after a special council report question. his ability to remember of key events and fox, the report concluded biting would not face charges for mishandling highly classified materials. after leaving the vice president scene 2017. but it also describe biden's memory as hazy hill there. he really said, frankly when i was asked the question i thought to myself was native or damp business every memorial day we hold a service. remember him attended by friends and family and the people who loved and i don't need any. we don't need anyone to remind me when he passed away and best phone number
