that's your, your talk in your article, john pierre, about a very beautiful different vision that might have taken place might have, i should underscore if james wolfensohn had had his way. it was a $3000000000.00 development plan in the, in the 19 ninety's thought about it uh, for gaza. james wolfensohn was president of the world bank. and this was undermined by ariel sharon, the prime minister of israel, who was undermined by other forces. but you talk about the importance of getting back to that kind of thinking of returning gaza to a prosperous, major economic hub. is there any prospect of that happening as you see it? and because you talk about it being the way forward, but who is going to do that? well, again, you know, i'm, i'm just to start using my office in the, in paris. but i can see that the if be still more sense than you know, from the head of the world back. a phone reasonable in 2000 shies for world is $3000000000.00 plan to do look, go to the not, i'm need to do that. but to invest my understanding of the media industry is owed money for several regions of these trends

and it's not because you're, you're talking your article john pierre, about a very beautiful different vision that might have taken place might have, i should underscore if james wolfensohn had had his way. it was a $3000000000.00 development plan in the, in the 19 ninety's thought about it uh, for gaza. james wolfensohn was president of the world bank. and this was undermined by ariel sharon, the prime minister of israel, who was undermined by other forces. but you talk about the importance of getting back to that kind of thinking of returning gaza to a prosperous, major economic hub. is there any prospect of that happening as you see it? and because you talk about it being the way forward, but who is going to do that as well? so again, you know, i'm, i'm just restoring, using my office in the, in power is. but i can see that the, if you still want, since you know, from the head of the world back phone reasonable in 2000 shies for world is 3000000000 dollar plan to develop, go to the not on need to do that. but to invest my understanding of the media industries on monday for several m

of obstruction by joe biden but with respect to this defiance of a lawful subpoena, we know that john pierrebox that the president was aware of what his son was going to say and that he was going to do that so we want to know more about that, did he advise his son, did his speech writers write hunter biden's speech. the fact that the president of the yate united states who is on record that anyone who defied a congressional subpoena should be held accountable. he was talking about the trump administration people, he's add vidsing his son to do what he said on television is wrong and people should be held accountable at the full strength of the law. so again, more evidence of obstruction and hypocrisy and more examples of lies by joe biden. maria: and what we get in response from the white house is that, you know, maga is extreme and, you know, the republicans are trying to obstruct democracy. here's white house press secretary karine jean-pierre on the same day hunter biden defied the subpoena as you just mentioned. watch. >> the president was certainly familiar with what his son was going t

how did john kirby wind up behind the podium anyway? >> peter: two weeks after karine jean-pierrelevated 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 one. we were showing pictures of kjp. john kir

we'll also be looking for reaction from the white house when john kirby takes to the microphone a few minutes from now. you can see karine jean-pierre stepped up there, she does a bit of housekeeping and then they'll get into the question and answers and we'll listen for that, john. now this. >> look at fani willis, she was involved in the white house. her and her lover that she paid almost a million dollars in fees to, legal fees, they were in the white house dealing with the doj. and then they indict, and now finds out that they are scammers, ok. that one now is i guess down the tubes. >> john: former president donald trump blasting fulton county district attorney fani willis for hiring her alleged lover, nathan wade, to be the special prosecutor in the rico case against him. a judge granted willis a temporary stay to not testify in wade's divorce proceeding. fox team coverage now, leo terrell standing by on whether the courtroom drama could eventually lead to willis' ousting. first steve in marietta, georgia, what was the big take away from today's hearing? >> two things. willis does not have to talk about her relationship with t

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
