peter? hello. yes, back to now no problems with the connection this time i hope right. we've heard from you insult and berg is still speaking right now. this atlantic council event. what he did say was that there was unanimous unanimity amongst the alliance when it came to promising still sanctions against rocher. if there was any aggression from moscow against ukraine. some confusion from the secretary general. it would seem no about the potential for any aggression from russia for the last couple of months. we've heard words like this invasion being imminent, like it was coming any minute that there was an invasion about to happen any 2nd. what you insult and book said that there was no certainty right now about what russia would do a very different message coming from the nato secretary general than we've heard over the last couple of months. what we did hear from him though, was talk about despite that not being any certainty about not about a major build up of nato forces in the east of the alliance. he said that a number of countries would be helping the number of

be the sort of talking points i think of these three main candidates. >> i'm going to go back to peter now i understand we have now some guidance? >> the white house has now made it official that justice breyer is retiring and president biden will delivery marks on his retirement at 12:30 eastern time, an hour and 15 minutes now from the roosevelt room at the white house and he'll be joined by justice steven breyer at the time. this is a significant day for a lot of reason, not the least of which is that president biden will become the first president who ever presided over senate judiciary chair the confirmation hearings for a justice who he will now be picking a replacement for. >> thank you, we'll see you later to talk more about this. what happens next in the nomination process and what it means for democrats with the mid-term elections on the horizon? intelligent agencies say they see an increasing possibility of an incursion at the ukraine border. at the ukraine border uh, i-i'm actually just going to get an iced coffee. well, she may have a destination this one time, but usually --

now i want to bring back our panel, obviously here, and i want to start with peter. now peter, we know that you are, are well known a well known crypto currency skeptic. what do you make when you hear these reports? number one of all of this crypto currency related crime and scams and how much that's been involved in that? well, 1st of all, you know, there are no hawks at the fed. their hawks are is extinct as the dodo bird. they're just degrees of doves. but when goldman sachs is talking about big coin going to a 100000, i would take anything they say with a grain of salt. they are notorious for doing the opposite privately of what they say publicly. so if goldman sachs is touting big, quite 200000, they probably have some big coin they're trying to get rid of. and they're trying to pump up the market. but i think bitcoin is probably dead. i can't think of any valid reason why any institutions would be looking at bitcoin. now if they were thinking about, look out it when it was 50060000. now that is barely $40000.00. i think they're going to lose interest. there is no w

thanks, peter. now let's go to dr. bob lahita from the st. joseph's institute. you hear more about cases like peters and others in the surge in cases across the country. when do you think, doctor, it begins to ebb? >> based on what we know about south africa and now the united kingdom, i presume this will ebb late february, early march. so i do think the numbers will come down. we've had 99% roughly in estimates of the population that have the covid virus is omicron. so omicron is out there. it's taken over. >> neil: so as you have been telling us from the beginning, it's very contagious, certainly more than the other variants that we've experienced so far but not very dangerous. how do you see that playing out? will it remain that way? >> yeah, i think it's going to remain that way unless we get another variant. but the omicron basically, if you have comorbidities and you don't have the booster shot, i think you could have some problems. by and large, the beds in the hospitals are filled up with omicron patients but not a lot of people wind up in the ic up on ve

. >> peter: now wait to see if the white house has to bleep that on the transcript. >> bret: what did the other reporters say about that? did you talk with them. >> peter: they told me he had said it. i couldn't hear any t. over the shouting of the wranglers, the crip will now live on, bret. >> bret: in infamy. bring in senior political analyst brit hume. good evening, brit, we have a lot of important things to talk about. i want to start there you and i covered the white house. we just had a few days ago where white house correspondent jacqui heinrich asked a question that actually was a very substantive question that is the topic of a lot of opinion pieces and foreign policy experts over the next few days and the president said what a stupid question. and then tonight in this peter doocy is the pool reporter asking questions for everyone, and the president calls him a dumb sob and you heard it right there. your thoughts about this? >> well, there may be people who are biden partisans and some others, friendly media people who might like hearing the president say that but it doesn't

as peter said in his introduction, there's an army now of people denouncing their fellow citizens, but they saw that minor infraction. so what, what depresses me is not just what you referred to peter just now as my rights and my liberties. yes, that also depresses me. but what i find, the reason why i think we are in sort of n times is that the value itself of freedom is no longer appreciated. it's not that i demand my rights. it's that the freedom itself has a social value. it has a social value. it is good for all of us. if we are free, we all know those of us who experience soviet russia, how bad it is socially. if people are not free, it is bad for the whole of society. freedom is good for the whole of society. it is a positive value, and yet we are now in a situation in which freedom is regarded as not only unnecessary but the bubble as dangerous. and that is why i think we have indeed crossed the watershed and are living in very, very bad times. if a line of the given that they, they the thrust of our conversation here, i would say i'm going to handle another let layer of depres

jonah me now is dr. peter mccullough. dr. mccullough we've gotten to know each other during this odyssey where these lies were used to hurt people's careers, to silence them, to demonize them, to take away perhaps hospital privileges and you and others like you were right all along. i know were not here just pat you on the back, you knew it, all of these other guys knew it. why didn't the others know it? or did they and they just pretended? >> you put together a team of medical experts but i think i've really been true to the day that we've cited the data. we have followed this very carefully over time and on many occasions we've asked what is wrong with those who are filing a false narrative or is it intentional. did they know or should they have known? we still can't answer these questions today, but at the

peter, back to you. >> she really was a one of a kind entertainer. gadi schwartz, thank you. >>> nowthose devastating wild fires in colorado that destroyed communities in seconds, as many as one thousand homes burned, leaving families homeless to start 2022 and tonight that threat is still not over emilie ikeda is on the front lines near denver. >> reporter: tonight the destruction is catastrophic as fast-moving infernos raged across colorado, tripling its size in less than 24 hours tearing through residential neighborhoods like a blowtorch. >> it is pretty shocking the wind was blowing in all over the world. old town superior was on fire. it's just unbelievable >> reporter: chaos and confusion as tens of thousands scrambled for their lives. >> right or left >> reporter: shoppers fleeing a costco with a doomsday scenario closing in. >> it almost seems like a tornado, a hurricane, a fire all in one. >> reporter: president biden promising federal assistance as today colorado's governor surveyed the damage from the air. entire communities now an apocalyptic wasteland. have you seen anyt

. >> peter: now the feds can't snap their fingers and make tests appear but they can update guidance according to "the washington post" to recommend n-95 or kn-95 masks. something that even the most pro-mask politicians struggle with. >> does this look stupid? >> peter: the president made an off camera comment this evening very quickly where he said it seems like yesterday the first time he got arrested now, joe biden has previously told stories about being arrested in south africa at the u.s. capitol and at the university of delaware. he has since walked all those stories back. bret. >> bret: what have we learned, peter, about the confusion over this comment the cdc director made about covid deaths? >> peter: bret, it turns out that the comment that got so much play online and on tv had been edited by abc who did the interview with rochelle walensky in a way that made it sound like she was saying that 75% of covid deaths are people with at least four co-morbidities and she thought that was encouraging in the context of omicron. what was missing, what had been cut out is she was refe

>> yes >> peter joining us live now peter, the president said he will scale back his social spending and climate plan in order to get it passed. now one of the democratic hold-outs is speaking out. >> reporter: yeah, lester that's right tonight joe manchin dashed hopes of a quick revival of president biden's hopes saying that he does not have any meetings scheduled with the white house and the democrats will be starting from scratch. lester >> peter, thank you. >>> a short time ago i spoke to white house chief of staff ron klain. i think it is fair to say the white house has pretty aggressively walked back or clarified, whatever you want to call it, the president's comments about ukraine and russia and whether the president was signaling a minor incursion might be viewed through a different lens whether the president meant to say that at the time or whether he was being inarticulate, can you afford any gaffes given the stakes right now in all of this >> well, i think the president was quite clear and reiterated his point of view this morning very clearly president putin should have no

the question here now peter is who is in charge of the army. now these military camps are key in protecting the catholic capital. we're going to go from arm groups . arm groups have been increasingly active in the north and the center in the east of the country are groups linked to al qaeda and iso heater. so if it's not a military coup, but it's not situation normal, it's some place in between those 2 things to we think it's the president has said to the military, you defend the city, and then we'll take it from there. it seems that there is so much so much of a feeling of being disgruntled towards the president that has been building up for months inside the military and amongst many soldiers. remember in november, there was an attack in the north of the country in its up where 20 soldiers were killed. there was a national outcry when it turned out that those soldiers had gone 2 weeks without food rations and had to hunt for food. and that's when they were attacked by groups linked to al qaeda and then the president just a few weeks for from n

now a part of russia and the west should stop demonizing vladimir putin. as you can imagine, his words have spoke a major diplomatic backlash. as peter oliver now express vice admiral k. r him shown by caused big shocks on saturday evening, as he stood down from his role as chief of the german navy. it follows comments that he made about the russian president vladimir burton and the ongoing tensions between russia, ukraine and nato. following this fall out from what he said and everything revolving around it, he felt his position had become untenable. i have just asked the federal minister of defense to release me from my duties as inspector of the navy with immediate effect. the thoughtless comments i made in the neon security and military policy are increasingly weighing on my office in order to prevent further damage to the german navy. i consider this a necessary step. the federal minister has accepted my request. well, it all relates the comments that shown by made while he was in india speaking to a defense think tank. he was speaking about crimea, which he said would remain part of russia also about the russian president, vlad

our north america correspondent peter bowes joins us now. happened early in the morning and it could indeed have been so much worse, of course it was catastrophic for the bridge, for the structure but extraordinary that not many people were injured. those that were injured, they suffered minor injuries and no—one was killed. that is the good news coming out of this but as far as the bridge is concerned, it collapsed in the space of a few seconds, it took everyone by surprise, you can imagine the emergency services were inundated with calls, very difficult conditions, snowy conditions, and when the emergency services actually got to the scene they were confronted with the sight of a bus reallyjust hanging on to what remains of that structure, some cars in a similar position, and of course this is a bridge that the president has been talking about a lot along with many others around the country in dire need of repair, some 3000 in the state of pennsylvania alone, and the president actually pledging when he visited that he would do all that he

i will call on peter now for his questioning. >> thank you, mr. chairman. ms. bailey, during covid congress gave agencies special schedule a hiring authority. can you share more about how dhs utilized that and it do you think the hiring authority might be a positive model for the future? ms. bailey: yes, thank you for the question. it was an important authority. i will tell you it was mostly used by cisa, where they could go out and get the talent they needed. we only used it for about 52 positions. and headquarters used it for other positions as well. so it was important, sure. every time we are given a new hiring authority, we make full use of it, i will tell you that. one thing i would say that i would love the csdo is we have over 100 special hiring authorities in the books and one thing we want to do is tick that down and have our enhanced hiring act, which has actually made it to the last congress, but one thing we love with that is the ability to have one streamlined hiring authority for our veterans. and make sure we maintain 20% veterans onboard at all

joe biden has reiterated at thousands of nato troops and now on high alert deployment in eastern europe, should russia invade its neighbor ortiz peter oliver. now take a closer look at the apparent dissension among the ranks in the alliance corporation president zora milan. of ich making so many century comments on tuesday . he said that if there is a conflict between ukraine and russia, he would order the croatian troops to pull out of deployments that they're involved in with nato. now this was a statement that's not only unlikely to have gone down particularly well in nato headquarters. it's also unlikely to gone down particularly well in ukraine either because mr. milan of each also went on to say that the 2014 might done revolution in ukraine was a coo. and he said that ukraine had absolutely no business in joining nato. not only will we not send troops, but if there is an escalation, we will withdraw. every last corporation, soldier, everything is happening on moscow's doorsteps. it is necessary for an arrangement to be found that will take into account russia's security interests. i worked in the european council when the dem

now. and i'm gutted. let's get more from our north america correspondent, peter bowes now who's in los angeles.last—minute for this tearful apology? it seems so last-minute for this tearful apology?— tearful apology? it certainly was not expected _ tearful apology? it certainly was not expected by - tearful apology? it certainly was not expected by her- tearful apology? it certainly l was not expected by her fans. many of whom are already in las vegas for the first few shows and there is a lot of disappointment there. on the other hand you could say well, it is not a huge surprise and left right and centre here in los angeles and hollywood we hear about cancellations and postponements all the time. the grammys would due to happen in ten days time and they have been postponed until april. everyone is being affected by supply chain issues and covid itself and we heard her say that half her crew have come down with covid full it is not just putting on the shows it as the weeks and weeks of preparation that goes into them and it seems to be that that is where adele has hit problems are just getting

but now, you know, to, to peter's point here, a lot of this has become a speculative asset. and i think a lot of that comes from the fact that we see so many institutional investors in there now. and what you're seeing is it moves along with the market because institutional is, are trying to cover their money back and forth that is there something to that point? natalie? why do you agree with peter that the fed is bluffing? and they're gonna have to insert liquidity, and we've seen that big coin is largely liquidity driven, just like cookies. and it's been sucking money out of both gold and bonds. now the more money that piles and obviously the price goes up and also with futures trading does wall street have the power to push around the asset on the margin? sure, but if the secular trend is up, which it is, they can't push it around for too long. and when it comes back, it has the power to spring up really hard and really fast because the fundamentals for big coin are they're, the holders aren't selling, including peter sun spans turn. i. the number of addresses are going up

that flooding risk will be. heightened. meantime, sumatra, those heavy rains are starting to peter out. now an update on the ne monsoon but subdued right now, but still we're getting into heavy bouts of rain for central areas of the philippines on thursday. rain is dancing in to western areas of the pearl river valley. same goes for the yang. see that shoving clouds further toward the east and you guessed it, the snow is still falling across western areas of japan, but the winds factor as well. we'll see them gus, to about 80 to 90 kilometers per hour. so that's going to whip around that snell and impact the visibility back to that ne monsoon look at this. it's almost like return that switch off. plenty of sun ray to crush longer and same for the indian state of tab on the do tonight. got a high 30 degrees. meantime in the northwest of india is still foggy and smoggy in new delhi. but some showers will move in and that will help flush the atmosphere and should give us some fresh or error which as a hive. 16 degrees on saturday season for the weather sponsored by katara always o. mount vesuv

a number of different countries urging different responses to the situation on the border of peter oliver now shed some light wild troop deployment. sand high alerts are being su, diplomacy remains the number one goal when it comes to finding a solution to these tensions between russia and nato. on monday, we saw a series of meetings between you for ministers take place in brussels. during that meeting, germany came under an awful lot of pressure. this is over the berlin government's decision not to send weaponry to ukraine as a debug. honestly, gillum at the federal government has not changed its position on the supply of arms to ukraine, including the supply of lethal weapons and in view of the conflict in ukraine, it will not issue a permit for the supply of military weapons ina, where there are 2 very different messages coming out of the nato camp when it comes to the situation on the ground in ukraine. on the one hand, you've got the united kingdom and the united states who have both withdrawn some embassy staff and their families from their diplomatic embassies in ukraine. on the other

peter oliver now in berlin as the very latest developments or the most in center in you so far coming out on tuesday has been the statements from the croatian president san milan. of ich, he is said that should there be any conflict between russia and ukraine, croatia under his watch would pull that troops out from any deployment therein, with nato. he's also gone on in a statement, which is sure not only to upset members of the nato alliance, but also quite a lot of people in kiev to describe the 2014 ukrainian revolution as a coo and say that ukraine should never become part of the nato alliance, not only will we not send troops, but if there is an escalation, we will withdraw every last creation soldier. everything is happening on moscow's doorstep. so it is necessary for an arrangement to be found that will take into account russia, security interests. i worked in the european council when the democratically elected president, yoko, which a scoundrel who sat on 3 chairs, was overthrown and a curb. it was encouraged primarily by the you and the united states. we've also heard from

meantime, nato was considering deploying additional troops ride along russia's borders without his peter oliver now explains an awful lot going on on monday concerning nato troop movements and planned movements as well. what we can expect is that there will be more nato troops arriving in the east of europe. later on monday, us time, they'll be a call between the u. s. president and european leaders. but earlier, we heard pretty much confirmation of this from the nato secretary general against dalton, beg, natal, will not compromise on court principles. we stand for the right of each nation to choose his own alliances. and naples door remains open. we are considering to further enhance our presence in east on part of the lions. this could include the deployment of additional nate or battle groups, while those navy wargames continue in the mediterranean involving the ag yet the american aircraft carrier, the u. s. s. harry truman. we've also heard on monday from france, denmark, the netherlands, and spain who've all either committed or said they're considering committing moving military hardware or

joining me now is dr. peter chin hong. doctor, thank you so much for being on the program today. >> thanks for having me on, terry. >> let's talk about children and schools. the hottest topic right now. how prevalent is the virus in our schools? >> well, it depends on what districts you're looking at. but it mirrors what we see in the community. again, the big theme is most of the cases in school are not from school, they're from the community. but it does lead to a lot of disruption. both in not having enough teachers and staff as well as students being ill and staying home. so that's kind of what we're seeing, not that kids are getting it in school or getting really sick to go to the hospital, but rather a lot of disruption, a lot of people ill. >> where do you come down on this debate? so much evidence that staying at home, virtual learning, is not good for children. and yet you want them to be safe. you don't want them to get into a situation where they're going to get covid. do they go to school, be in-person, do they

what is point of being a legal immigrant now? peter lumaj. ght now, as long as you live in new york for 30 days, you can vote in municipal electionss. anyone can be a visitor, student, an exchange student, an illegal released from custody, pretty much anyone in new york as long as you prove your residency for 30 days, you can vote in municipal elections. >> carley: new york state constitution grants right to vote to citizens 18 and older. now the rnc is suing, it sounds like this is illegal. will this get overturned? >> peter: it could well get overturned, the problem is municipalities have right to regulate voting processes, if you will. in this case, it may wind up in the supreme court. the most significant thing should be united states congress getting involved and defunding any cities that provide sanctuary to illegals, grant rights to illegals, i think congress should step in in this case. >> todd: meantime, 47,000 migrants failed to report to ice after getting legal defense dollars. anyone with half a brain knew this would happen. as an
