kimberly yeah, national security council spoke 1st and john kirby speaking to al jazeera era back in the last hour, telling us that the united states and says that the strikes are merely defensive and deterrence is the main goal of the strikes. it is in no way designed to escalate this conflict for just the opposite. what they want to see is a sort of a di escalation and to permit nothing more than a safe travel of commercial shipping through the red sea. so uh, what they're saying is that they hope that there will be no need for further action, but that the united states reserves the right to take further action if the who's these continued to attack commercial fishing, commercial traffic within the red seas. now, we should point to that as well that the pedagogues spoke 1st, and pat ryder says that the united states, along with this allies happening, conducting assessments of the strikes that have taken place. they were designed to stabilize and degrade the who piece abilities to conduct further attacks. what their initial assessment so far have shown is that the strikes by the uni

kimberly yeah, there a whole range of issues that will be discussed on this 4th trip since october for the secretary of state. the palestinian castle tease in excess of $22000.00 and rising is an issue that will be discussed not only with the israelis, but of grave concern as he visits the movie east nation capitals as well. also the concern of a broader regional conflict in light of not only the escalation has taken place in the red sea, but also with the strikes that has taken out the leader of a or rather a deputy leader of has bola and lab and on. and the concern that the iranian back proxies and their tensions with israel could lead again to a broader regional conflict. and also what israel's war with gaza. what that will look like when it ends in terms of post governance. we know that the discussions and the view of what that might look like are very different in the eyes of the israelis, as well as the united states. the united states, looking for a revitalized policy me authority. and the as rarely saying that that may not be the best solution. so these are just some of the dis

. >> kimberly? >> yeah, i think that is right.ump is such a political tactician that he's thinking about peeling off 10% here and 20% there. i think he's so used to doing what he has been doing for six years and having it work out the first time, not work the second, but he denied it didn't work out the second time. he's so fueled by personal grievance and so far that's been -- that has kept the core of his base intact and made it difficult for his opponents to get a foothold. we have to wait and see what happens in iowa and new hampshire. he thinks he won both elections that he was in, including the one he claims falsely was fraudulent. he's doubling down, tripling down and surrounding himself with people who are in for it and letting the others fall away. so far it keeps him at the top of the polls. we'll see how long that lasts. >> kimberly, you referred to people who may not be trump supporters, but have a view of the court proceedings as a blur or whether it's real or whether it's politics as usual. the counterpoint to that i

kimberly to yeah, well we know it's going to cover a range of countries including stops in the west bank. we also know though they're going to be stops and cuts are saudi arabia, u, a e. but primarily right now the focus is israel's war on gossip, but also the tensions in northern israel, and the fact that it borders lebanon. and the fact that we have had an escalation in recent days, namely the killing of a top from us official in lebanon. and that it has been what has escalated or prompted the planned trip of the secretary of state to be really put to the forefront of dividing agenda. we also know though that he's not the only diplomat that is in the region. we also have another senior envoy by the name of amos hawk sign, who is a diplomatic envoy as well in the region. meeting with the top is really officials including of the defense minister again for this very same reason what they're calling. it is basically a changing security reality and a very short window in which to contain what the many fear here at the white house is a quickly escalating situation into a conflict. the starte

kimberly tell us more. yeah, well this is just come into effect in terms of the announcement, but in terms of how this will play out that could take a few weeks. but how, what this will mean if it does eventually go into effect, and we'll talk about that in a moment. is that the who sees themselves in terms of the members could be bad from entering the united states. their funds held in us financial institutions would immediately be frozen. and any group that supports it, for example of ron, because we know that they are major funder of the who sees well they, in fact uh, could be subject to sanctions. now, the white house says the reason for this is that the, who these happen jeopardizing with their attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the red sea have been jeopardizing global trade and freedom of navigation add. as a result, they say that this is important to make this distinction, that they, they, being the united states are targeting the wrong back group the, who's these and not the people of human them

yeah. i some nets. homeowners to kimberly, i say that because out for you, for the piano, some bombs aren't good as you're joining different injunction. yeah, sure. problem. and really i can't do that. okay. the target is just a few maces away to a professional archer. this distance would be like swimming even flexible katie pool. sure. sure thing. sure. the colors to remove the approval. okay. okay. you're ready. while i didn't based off, thanks to their advice with the bow and arrow in hand, the psychological so right. so why is on the south green archery team has nothing to fear. i think, i mean, i think i had 20 more years and then i might be ready for you into the it was really interesting during those insights of both sides re ranges because i've got a bit of a confession tonight. i'm no athletes. i con, hit a target, i caught mid a boss. good. i can't take a goal, and that's because i buckle under the pressure. and you know what? i know one level line one, go back. it came june tuck springs, academy license plots of audio. so completion, they train their off to compete at major inter

yeah. how much the officials, our white house correspondent. kimberly how get off us national security spokesman john cubby. why if the u. s. wanted to avoid a 2nd front, it was supporting israel's pursuit of how much leaders outside gauze your questions, presuming an awful lot and is presuming that i said things. i didn't say i'm not. i'm not confirming that the that the, these rallies took this air strike. i would refer you to them to speak to the military operations. nevertheless, i'm not confirming that they that they, that they took district, they have a right and responsibility, go after homeless leadership and we expect that they'll do that. and, and of course, with international law. nothing's changed about the fact that we don't want to conflict the wide. i mean, my opening statement was 4 or 5 pages worth of talking about all the kind of capabilities that the president's putting in the region to prevent that very. okay, let me follow up on that. given the read secret trolls we knew in advance those being set up that the a ronnie of defense min

how it can be standing by there, as you can see at the white house that, kimberly, what does this re designation mean now to yeah, it puts in place a couple of things. what it means is it will trigger sanctions for anyone or any state or entity that now tries to provide materials support for the who these uh, we know that there are no ronnie and back groups. so ron, for example, could be now subject to more sanctions. that means that members of the who, the group would be banned from entering the united states and any who the funds that are in us, financial institutions would be frozen. now the white house, and that statement said that the reason that this has been by the who the group has been designated as a foreign terrace organization is because of their ongoing attacks against commercial shipping vessels. in the red sea, there is a jeopardizing of commercial trade and the free flow of navigation. and they are saying that's really what this is, is a target of give the, who these not of the many people. but what is really paramount concern to the united states is making sure that international commerce can be

yeah. who had said that they would be talking about it and then you have the nose, which is a major cause for concern is kimberly was saying that you had, you all have guidelines and you've also heard from benny guns. so we'll cabinet say this several times, including the prime minister, the if diplomatic effort started, what they would consider a military action. the facts of the matter is israel has said so that it is interested in another from it. so right, the focus to lots of its efforts on most of its money as well. the war is costing an absolute fortune, not just in terms of costs, but also to the economy. and then also housing, all of those that have been displaced, not just in the southern towns, but also the northern for the west. 65000 people have been a puts hop mostly in hotels, in cities like here in tel aviv so. so to me, they'll be a lot to be discussed during that visit unfold what thinking does arrive, he'll more than likely arrive at the time when the war cabinet has sat, has discussed and has gone. that you might say the next forward planning meeting finished. he'll get really more guidance.

yeah. i think this is the big test kimberly said for ron desantis.gs into a strong performance here. it's also a test for donald trump as trump has projected heading into this first contest backed up by polling does his ground operation follow up with that turnout? does he get the sort of massive victory that he is expected to as polling suggests and what does that do to the other candidates obviously new hampshire is more of a test for nikki haley with a strong polling performance there thus far. for trump is this the step to put in this sort of inconvincibility argument that he has made that he is by far the best candidate to run away. >> matthew, how do you see iowa? >> well, i think all the candidates have different stakes, the first is trump, he wants to maintain his huge lead. he needs a surprise. he needs a des moines behind trump to keep his campaign nikki haley wants to over-perform in iowa to set herself up for victory in new hampshire. >> and the idea is meeting or exceeding expectations and hope to get a bump, right? let's talk about new

kimberly hall. ok, so what's the us been saying about all of this as yeah, what we've heard from the pedagogies, folks 1st and the national security council spoke 1st and, and now we're waiting to hear from the commander chief, i can hear the helicopter marine one buzzing on the south lawn of the white house, so we're waiting to hear from joe 5 and he's set to leave to go to pennsylvania in just a moment. hopefully he'll speak to reporters 5050. whether or not he does, hopefully we'll have that next hour. but in the interim, what i can tell you is that john kirby, the national council security council, suppose person says that from a united states standpoint, they don't want to see escalation. they want to see safe passage through the red sea for commercial shipping traffic. and that's why the united states in conjunction with its allies, took the strikes against the who sees ad, but they hope there won't be any more, but they reserve the right to do so. should the attacks on commercials shipping vessels continue. now having said that, pat rider, the, the kindergarten spokesperson says that they are m

kimberly for on to the blinking. what easy hoping to achieve this time around? yeah, for this forest of trips since october, there is going to be a range of issues that will be discuss not just in israel in the occupied westbank, but also as you mentioned in those varies capitols. they. 2 are issues that are going to be about what happens when israel's war and gaza and what governance looks like the palestinian casualties in excess of $22000.00, mostly women and children that the united states and the international community is gravely concerned is continuing to climb. and also be concerns about this escalation in the region and could this turn into a broader regional conflict and how to de escalate those tensions? so the bottom and ministration has dispatch not only the senior diplomat, anthony blinking, but also a most hochstein. he is another senior n y who has been in the region holding discussions because not only is there the concern about the escalations in the red sea, the attacks by whose ease on some of the commercial shipping in the region and the retaliat

kimberly. so what else we hearing from us officials? uh yeah, well us officials, uh say that they reserve the right to take further action even as the who is these are valid to take further action. but at the same time, the united states doesn't believe that the, who these have those capabilities, what we know from the pentagon spokesperson pat, right? or is that right now? battle grade a after action if you will, is being done. and what we know from the 60 targets that were hit with the strikes that were conducted by the united states and the u. k. in 16 different locations that much of the command and control as well as other facilities of the who sees in young men that were head. i have been successful according to the united states. and so as a result, it does appear that it will be some time before any other attacks by the who these, in the red sea against commercial shipping vessels will be large. so what the united states to say right now is that they will not hesitate to take further action if the who is these do a hit with drones or mi

and kimberly, what have you been hearing from the us officials about this and the plans for any response? yeah, well the national security council spokesperson john kirby speaking this morning on the american chat, shows saying that the us president joe biden has determined that the united states will respond given this is a consequential attack in his view. he is the commander in chief of the us military, but the response will be careful and it will be deliberate and echoing the statement that the u. s. president issued on sunday it will be at a time and manner of the united states has choosing. now what we understand is that there are a number of factors that are being weighed. he is working with his national security team and also of course the pentagon. but as echoed by the defense secretary, lloyd austin, this is something that is being looked at, given the fact that these are attacks that have been increasingly leased, so towards the american soldier since october 7th. now, as you pointed out, 3 soldiers killed and 34 wounded, then what we understand is that a have been evacuated for hig

kimberly hawkins. and now what's the us been saying about this? yeah, well the national security council spokesperson, john kirby speaking on the american chat show, saying that the us president now mulling his options as commander and she's saying that the united states will respond. this is a consequential attack in the eyes of the united states. the response will be careful, it will also be deliberate. as you point out, the united states says it is not looking for a conflict with a ron. it is not also looking for a conflict within the region. however, the united states saying it will respond at the time and manner of is choosing, given the fact that they see this as a significant attack. now, as you mentioned, 3 soldiers, us soldiers killed, 34 wounded. and the concern is that there have been increasingly least will attack since october 7th, according to the united states in the united states soldiers. and as a result, the united states military is prepared and gearing up to respond just a waiting. those orders from the commander in chief and now ov

and kimberly said a reversal on the he's, he's in the offering. and yeah, we're expecting that an announcement nick at any time and this is according to the bottom and ministration result of these continued attacks. they say by the who sees on commercial shipping vessels in the red sea is they try to pass to the suez canal . and as a result of those stepped up attacks that are in solidarity with the palestinians, who of course are fighting back against israel and his war and gaza and have been doing so since november. uh, this is why the united states says that it is designating the who sees as a foreign terrorist organization that get expected to happen at any moment. now, as you mentioned, this is something that was lifted by the, by the administration, but had been put in place by the trump administration. what it would do is it would trigger sanctions. it would also put in place very strict rules in terms of material support. and that means that those the, such as groups like iran, that would try to support the who sees they would be subject to sanctio

yeah. and, you know, i keep thinking about that last picture you took with her and that day of celebration and of joy, that morning, right? and i'm just wondering, kimberly, is there anything we could do, people that don't know you, but feel so close to you and your family because of what you went through and continue to go through is there anything you think we could do to help support and lift you and your husband and your family and the many families that suffered the most horrendous injury one could have? >> absolutely. don't forget lexi. don't forget the other victims. stay involved. don't just wait for it to reach headlines. we as americans have to come together to end this. we do not have to live like this. >> you have made it a point of your life to make a difference. and to speak out for your daughter and so many others. what is it that you feel needs to happen, kimberly? >> absolutely there is something in this report that isn't listed as a failure, and that is how did a 19-year-old have access to an ar-15. how did he gain access? how is it so easy to purchase these weapons and why do the average citizens need them? they don't. that's one of th

kimberly. tell us about what he's trying to achieve this time. right. a yeah. broad range of topics that the secretary of state is being dispatched to discuss, not only is relatively occupied westbank, but also in the middle east. capitals, as you mentioned there at the us, president, concerned about not only what is happening with israel's war garza but also the escalades and in the broader middle east region. the activity that's happening in the red c name. we the fact that there has been a, the attacks on commercial shipping in, by the who sees and the retaliation by the us military there. and also be recent kelly of that deputy him, us leader in lebanon. and the fact that it has been blamed on israel by both how boss and has bull on. well, israel has neither claimed responsibility nor denied it. still, the fact that it is being attributed to israel has certainly escalated the tensions . the fear that there is a 2nd front opening up in terms of israel's war on gaza. and so the attempt to de escalate those tensions is something that is certainly going to be

kimberly, of these weapons was seized a few days ago. i understand what more do you know what more you hearing about? oh yeah. oh, they resist a few days ago. but we only are learning about this now we had learned a few days ago about 2 of the us service members involved and this night time rate, and that they hadn't gone missing to us navy seals. but we didn't understand the circumstances. and now we are learning more what we know is that this happened during a very high of complex night time raid off the coast of somalia, as you mentioned in international waters in the arabian sea. and what the u. s. is alleging is that a ron has shipped on a boat that's known as a dow uh, as an accumulation of weapons. and as you mentioned, there were ballistic missile components, christmas cell components, and also air defense components. the u. s. and as allies say, has been used in the past to carry out attacks on merchant ships in the red sea and their way to the suez canal. so the united states says that it was with its limits and its boundaries is under international law that it was fully in compliance to conduct thi

where things stand now as well as kimberly was saying there's a bigger and bigger wrist between the united states and the government of been you know, mean not 10. yeah, it's clear that the united states has been pushing for it to states solution for the creation of a palestinian state. once this conflict is over, but it's not something back to nothing. yeah. has ever supported. we've heard him on thursday evening dressing the nation saying that this way should been pain control of the west from the jordan river. this is in conflict with the palestinian sovereignty. also say that the creation of about a few states is a risk for israel as a right to exist, but this is not something new. this is something that nothing. yeah. what's kept throughout his career also of his party, really quoted party. so there's no surprises here, but he's also coming under a lot of pressure from whatever the united states ask him to do. we're seeing far right ministers from within this morning coordination who have been pushing very clearly for nothing. yeah. what to do something else who i've been risking that they could even leave a coalition if he goes in when they're

this is the most indeed kimberly of, of going it on this that the, you know what your score or by those really knew that melissa had been diagnosed. you'd seen them abroad. yeah. died the, with the orphans that went to odessa, they all finished down, their itself was run by american d. as for, if you're looking at the say 7 people that were responsible for the children, 5 or more americans. and these were people that were supporting the combat that probably sector was doing in boston. after a year later, in publications like the african post, they were reporting that the boyfriend, which is in odessa, which were being supported by churches, which is this particular one. and these particular children were being used for child trafficking. okay, so you have children missing there. the human trafficking quotient is where you're going to find the black organ trait. the news that i, as a special genocide on the intent is the roots are in the belief that in fact the enemy is not just the media type of waiting of hamas, but is embedded in the properties of public opinion. life can cause setup occurred to this is where i live carrying out a war gen.

yeah. but i was told by people lose close a one night the part of being a so called post or was to massage kimberly. she said it was my privilege to be able to touch and be near the son of god that.

kimberly the seizure off of, of this in the weapons. what more do we know? yeah, that's right. we're learning more about this caesar that happened. it was apparently a complicated night time raise that happened and when it occurred, we understand, but 2, navy seals were involved but wasn't missing at the time that was reported earlier and they are still whereabouts. i know. but now we're getting more details about how that occurred that led to their, their missing status. what we understand is that the u. s. navy was involved in this complicated rate because they were trying to seize these legal transport of weapons. they allege that was being sent from iran to e. m a. now what the united states says or claims is that these parts that were being shipped has been used in the past against commercial shipping vessels in the red sea. they include things like ballistic missile and cruise missile components. now, what we know is that this is kind of get a very heightened time of not only the confrontation between the who sees and also the shipping vessels, but also the united states

yeah, diapers are a really good example. there's only really two games in town. you have proctor and gamble and kimberly clark. market. what we're seeing is actually the price of the input that goes into the diapers has come down considerably, but diaper prices still remain high. in this case, i would urge the federal trade commission to take a look at whether or not their anti-competitive practices at play. we have seen in the earnings call that both procter & gamble and kimberly clark are keeping their prices high. in cases with we have really concentrated markets like in the diaper market, weshould look at anti-trust. the biden administration has done a lot on this front. just yesterday, we saw that the merger of spirit and jetblue was blocked. airlines have been a big recipient of windfalls from profiteering. i think there's a lot to do in the anti-trust front as well. >> that's a great point. it might have been crowded out by some of the political news but those actions matter. on a lighter note, do you have any friends in the sort of corporate board rooms, hedge funds, finance, do they resent you at dinn

kimberly hawkins. so why did the us decide to carry out a 2nd light of air strikes the yeah, well, according to the commander in chief of the us president joe biden. uh the reason is, is that there is a concern about the commercial fishing vessels, or rather the commercial shipping vessels in the red sea and the need to continue to ensure that the traffic that is traveling through there all the way the suez canal can continue as a result that is why there was a 2nd night of us strikes in conjunction with the british. now just to give you some contacts about why i'm standing here away from the white house right now, we are. 6 standing preparing for the march on washington, this is where natalie washington, but all around the world, there will be shortly global protests of protests, 100 days of the fact that there has been the war on gaza by israel calling for a cease fire. and of course those attacks on the who sees the, who, the say they are supporting the, the masa fighters in that more. so what i can tell you is that the, you, as president says, but if the who's these continue to act of behaviors they do,

kimberly how get in washington dc. i'm on this. what's the word from the white house about this can be yeah, the warehouse not talking too much about it, but we have been able to confirm that this meeting is set to take place. the white house has been a little bit quiet about the details, but what we're learning is that there is an attempt to try and get a break in the fighting in order to try and allow for the remaining captives to be swapped for a number of palestinian still being held in his really jails. now, this is similar to what we saw back in november. it was a week long break in the fighting in order to allow for prisoner swap. this time, what we understand is that it could be a much more substantial, something in the neighborhood of 60 days in order to allow for humanitarian aid that is obviously desperately needed. given the starvation that is occurring in gaza to allow for not only the humanitarian aid to get in, but also for the remaining captives to get out. we understand that it would be a priority for women and children and also for the bodies of those that have died in captivity. but we also understand, but what i

and, and i watched our, uh, uh, correspondence kimberly that trying to pin down the spokesperson in the national security council and i think she was yeah, she was very right and just trying to get some kind of an answer because clearly by then isn't a bind by then is in a bind for sure. in the sense that he's an election year, there's pressure to internally. how do you sent a letter from the african american pastors such was particularly meaningful in the sense that we're not only see young democrats or have been mostly americans for progressives, or no, no, we're seeing mainstream. and that is very important segment of his, of his electra of his backers of his supporters in states that would count a lot, see african american pastors for i think, saying to buy, then we need to cease fire. and now we're seeing more or more american public saying what, what is happening? why are we being shot at, why are we being killed again in the middle east? didn't you promise me that we're going to end up forever worse. so i think this synergy between internal pressure and duration of pressure is certainly going to figure in blinking this visit. not

kimberly, what's the basis that we've been hearing from us officials about this any times for our response. yeah, just moments ago the national security council spoke source and john kirby saying that there will be a response given that this is in his words a consequential attack on us service members. but he was clear to echo the words of the us president in his statement on sunday, saying that the response by the united states military will be at a time and manner of it's choosing. now, what we understand is that the us presence of the commander chief is consulting with an weighing, a number of factors, a national security spokesperson, kirby saying that there is not a desire of the united states for a conflict with iran. there is also not a desire for a wider conflict in the region, but again, the concern here big but since october 7th, there have been increasingly lethal attacks and us troops. now again, what we're talking about here is the fact that there are 3 us service members that have been killed. 34 wounded and what we know is that some of them have now been evacuated for higher level

kimberly dozer. what's your reaction to the results? i assume we're going to be hearing some chest beating from china in the coming days off beijing? what's next? >> yeahady heard some grousing from beijing over this. this was definitely a black eye for beijing, which had been campaigning against the democratic progressive party and for its favored candidates in the kmt, but this also wasn't the clearest win for the democratic progressives. they got 40% of the vote but kmt got 33% of the vote in a relatively new party that is preaching a middle way between anti beijing and pro beijing got 26% of the vote. those are a lot of numbers but what this means is that yes, the democratic party got another term and that's good for the biden administration. but every time they go to the taiwanese legislative body now, they've lost their majority and they're going to have to do deals with the pro beijing party. so yes, a good result for the white house. result for those who support democracy and independent or at least a taiwan that stays the way it is right now. but not so clear cut. >> yeah, i mean, and taiwan and the u.s., they've been bcenterig their ties. the

kimberly hall could. so what do you mean hearing from the us the by the ministration about all of this? yeah, the national security council spoke 1st and john kirby is speaking on behalf of the president on monday. and what he's saying is that the united states will respond to echoing the comments of the u. s. president in his sunday statement. and there will be a response given the view of the united states. this was a consequential attack, but it will be of, according to the united states against us soldiers and they have been aimed at us troops. as we have been reporting there has been 3 killed on the sunday attack. 34 wounded. and in fact they were so we know that 8 has been evacuated and requiring higher levels of care. and we also know that in fact, uh there have been a number that are, is fluctuating in terms of those casualties done. going to let you know they're in the control rooms that i have lost i f, b. i know you did want to talk quickly about the political aspect to all of this and we are in an election year. and so there are going to be political consequences for us to presid

yeah, that's right. they'll be plenty on the agenda. every thing from the what was being mentioned by kimberly there about the will in gaza. you know, every time these come on a visit here, that ends up being a discussion whether talking about trying to reduce the amount of intensity or fighting in gaza. but then as soon as he leaves the next day, you see a very different action from these right of these, how much of it are they listening to these read it to the americans. it's really on k also. the other thing on the agenda will be the captives. since the last these 5 failed, several of them have been killed in fights. it was announced yesterday that one more of the a male was killed earlier in december. this was actually confirmed by the is re these and it doesn't look good obviously because the public as well as the families want them back. and then you also have the noise in both or just as kimberly was mentioning that they said that diplomatic, this was yob gallano, the defense minister just earlier saying that diplomatic pressure is what's needed but time is running out. so you also said that it's important to be abl

i will turn it over now -- yeah, we will turn it over now to our wonderful families who would like to speak and express themselves. i will introduce kimberly rubio. >> we will take questions at the end. >> reading this report this morning, peeps directed officers intending to -- stop. no leader effectively questioned the decision and lack of urgency of the -- pd actually chief, mariano -- toward entering classrooms won 11 and 1:12. leadership can happen regardless of rank or title. i hope that the failures aimed today and the local officials do what was not done that day, do right by the victims and survivors of robb elementary, terminal prosecutions, terminations, our state and federal government annex sensible gun laws because -- an 18 year old was allowed to purchase an ar-15. [crying] >> most importantly, from what we've seen with this report, and i commend the doj on doing this, is that although there is not every name of the officers that were there so they can be held accountable, because we have to do our own taking most of the time, there are names that are named. and it is time, because our community is so divided, because of thi

yeah, diapers are a really good example. look, there's only really two games in town on diapers. you've got procter & gamble, and kimberly really have the lack of a bigger market. and what you're seeing is actually the price of -- the input that goes into the diaper, has come down considerably. the diaper prices still remain high. and in this case, i would actually encourage the federal trade commission to take a look at whether or not they are anti competitive practices in play. we have seen in the earnings call that both proctor and gamble and kimberly-clark are keeping their prices high, and they're able to do so because the other one is under cutting. them and so i think in cases where we have really concentrated markets like in the diaper market, we should take a look at -- . you know the biden administration has done a lot on this front, just yesterday we saw that the merger of spirit and -- was. and airlines have been -- a big recipient of -- profiteering. and so i think there's a lot to do on the antitrust front as well. >> that's a great point, you mentioned this week again, it might have been crowded up by some

kimberly how good was life and washington dc. so what does this designation mean exactly? for those these when it comes yeah, what we're hearing is that is likely that the bottom administration is going to re designate the who seizes a foreign terrorist organization or what. busy is often known as an f t o, and this is because of the renewed or continuing attacks on commercial vessels in the red sea. now, what we know and what this would mean is that this would essentially freeze the assets of the who fees that may be existing in us financial institutions. it would also put a place sections for any group or that would in any way provide material support for the who fees. so this would be, for example, iran. there is a major financial backer of the who's, he's now. it's important to know that the who's these have been on the ford terrace organization list in the past. in fact, they were put in place by the trump administration, and then it was lifted by the, by an administration back early when bought and came into office. but the reason for that is because it was believe that it was crippling their economy.

kimberly blink and once again, what for the 6th time? i think it is heading to israel. what more do we know? yeah, well this has not been confirmed by the state department and that official travel schedule. what we're learning is that the secretary of state, likely to visit the region sometime between february 3rd and 5th. and as you point out, this would be the 6th visit since october 7th, that of course being the attacks by him off. um. but the reason we understand is because of the comments made by the secretary state, that he is gravely concerned about the escalating tensions in the broader middle least not only with israel's war and gaza, but also be a tit for tat that has been going on between the united states and the ron proxies, particularly in the red sea, and of course on sunday, the attack on the us military outpost in jordan, that killed 3 us soldiers and wounded 40 more. so what this is, according to the secretary state, is a particularly volatile time. one that he says has not been seen a since 1973 or in roughly the last 50 years. and so as things are escalating, one can deduct fr

kimberly how codes in washington dc. so jake 1000, the us national security advisors, been meeting kentoria officials. what more do we know than can yeah, we learned this information from the national security council spokesperson john kirby aboard air force. one is the us president was traveling down to south florida . that's where he is right now for a couple of political fundraisers. he was sharing this information and was known as a guy goal. so we did not actually see him on camera as he was speaking to reporters. what we understand is that the national security advisor had a meeting with the cause, hardy prime minister autonomy. and what we know is that this was an effort to try and work out an agreement with the is really government and her boss to release the captives that were taken captive on october 7th, and has been held captive ever since. now what we know from past exchanges with john kirby is, but what the numbers are roughly is about a 100 and but some of them may now have died in captivity so their bodies would be returned. we also know that to ad jake sullivan is due to meet with some of those family members later on

kimberly, you do a good job of inspiring the people to go ahead and say what they called to say, instead of having to start -- stop the whole world. host:ave a question for tim? caller: yeahve a question. freedom of the press needs to be more about saying good morning to each other. we need to talk about the issues. thank you very much. host: thank you, ed. guest: he mentioned jamaal khashoggi, the saudi journalist who was murdered in a savage way. that is a terrible thing. obviously, journalism can be a dangerous thing to practice. that is something we have to keep in mind. journalists risk a lot in dangerous places to tell us what's going on and that's important. the saudi's hated his guts. he was taking a bunch of information. that doesn't justify what happened to him. but, it's important to be -- we are pro-journalism. pro-journalist does not mean you can't criticize a product. >> steve is in florida on our democratic. good morning, c. -- good morning, steve. caller: the reason i am calling is as i listen to news, we can argue all day on if the right or left has more bias media. but there is one constant. i'm listening to news. i would like the person who delivered th

yeah. but i was told by cuba lose clothes eat one night . the part of being a so called pose toral was to massage kimberly. she said it was my privilege to be able to touch and be near the son of god. that night. amanda says keep roy ended up raping her. 2 ukrainian women also testified before a senate panel that they were sexually abused by people. really. you have to like sacrifice or budgets. you have to have sex with him. people really nice allegations and this appeared to be threatening. some of his former followers may not go away on those a few words facebook on the internet who keep ruining my name, be careful, and he did not attend the senate proceeded gun. and so far, he's also been able to avoid facing justice in the united states, where he's been indicted not only for human trafficking of sexual abuse, but also for financial advice. the u. s. has not requested for an extradition. arlene, still a former follower who was based in the us says she wants to be to contribute to solicitation efforts in the us, for instance, by renting a car under her name. the damage of the vehicle was $18000.00 and t

in our white house correspondent now kimberly how could so it can be highly unusual situation this and the white house doing his best to try and contain it. ste. yeah. contain the political fallout that seems to be increasing, as there seem to be still so many unanswered questions about why the secretary of defense was in the intensive care unit for a number of days. we're learning more. following the pentagon briefing, it was understood the following elective surgery that the secretary of defense started to experience severe pain, had to be transported to the hospital and was required to have intensive care for a number of days. he in turn at transferred responsibility to his deputy, but his failure to notify the white house is the problem for money on capital hill and also in the white house. now the us president is not calling for his resignation, nor is the secretary of defense prepared to resign. in fact, the us president is very loyal. when it comes to cabinet secretaries and in the election year, it's very unlikely that he would call for one because it would really open up the front of the president and members of his party to criticism some

kimberly, you're about a block away from the white house. we can see some of those protests is behind you . what's been happening of the yeah, it's getting very crowded here and i can tell you there's also a heavy police presence as these marchers gather here and freedom plaza. as you mentioned about a block from the white house. what we're expecting our speeches in advance of a demonstration march that will process through the streets of washington all the way to the white house. what these demonstrators are demanding is not only an end to the billions that the united states gives the military support for israel and its war on gaza. but also an, and to the occupation and a release of the political prisoners they're calling for an immediate and permanent cease fire. they're also saying that they want to really c, i n to be on go way via lives that they say is real, has been waging not just in the last 100 days. and this is what this protest is marking of. but that has been going on for decades. now, i can tell you that a lot of the people here had been personally touched by the war on gaza, but also the occupation itself. a

white house correspondent that kimberly, how could, could we do have any more information on what thinking is going to be doing in the region during this visit of the yeah, well we'll just be antony blanket who will be traveling to the region. it's also going to be a senior diplomatic invoice by the name of ama hochstein. and the reason that the by the administration is dispatching both of these top diplomats is because they're concerned is that the tensions have ratcheted up just a little bit higher than anyone in the white house was comfortable with right now, the feeling is that following the killing of that senior house leader in lab, and on that the tensions in israel and has bella has become concerning. the fear is, according to the national security council spokesperson, john kirby, that there is this fear of this so called 2nd front, if you will. and so the desire here is to try and prevent that from becoming a full blown escalation. and so well, there have been some back and forth in terms of tensions and escalation. what they want to see is this the contained, if you will. so what we know is that there is going to be some senior discussions th

kimberly. hello. caller: good morning. thank you for having me on. yeahjust wanted to say about the i have a caucuses it is really hard -- the iowa caucuses it is really hard to make a decision when the corporate media and is not really tell the truth about anything for either side. and i just find it disturbing that when it comes to the ballot that they want to keep a person off the ballot. and that makes me think that they can't beat him. are they thinking they can't beat him? so the only other thing to do is get him off the ballot. that just does not seem to be democratic. and i think a lot of people are trump supporters everywhere because they don't like the process of what is going on and how they are trying to get him off. it just makes me think they don't think they can beat him fair and square. so i hope that we get a little more truth out of the media on both sides so we can make an informed decision and not vote like sheep. host: what do you think keeps you from making an informed decision? caller: i just think it is what they see and what they

kimberly how could joining us from washington dc? can we lots of stops on this too, or what so you hoping to achieve with this one is yeah, there is a lot to talk about what he will be talking about in this roughly week long trip. not just in israel, in the occupied westbank, but also in those middle east. the capitals is a range of issues, namely the regional war, the threat of one and the pap fact that it could escalate from israel's war and gaza to something much broader. the reason that the us presidential by that and has dispatched his top diplomat, anthony blinking, is because of concerns that that could happen. the fact that there has been an escalation in the red sea, the who sees the attacks on shipping vessels in that region. and the fact that the u. s. navy has responded to that also in recent days, the bombing or rather the attack in 11 on and the attack on be a senior, how mos leader that and also his aids. and the fact that that has been blamed on is real even is israel has not claimed or denied responsibility. it certainly has been attributed by both moss and has the law. so those tensions have escalated. and so he is
