come in and supply ukraine with so much money, and so many weapons. but this is a significant escalation from vladimir putin. the fact that he s calling up the reservists shows that he has no intention of backing away from this war. in fact, in his comments, he framed the war not against ukraine, he described this as a war against the west. and that the west, he didn t mention the united states, but clearly, that s the main power he s referring to, has been propping up ukraine and intends to bring down russia and bring down the russian federation the same way that the west primarily the united states, toppled the soviet union. so he is framing this very much as an existential fight for russia. and in order to fight this fight, he s calling up the reservists and making nuclear threats to show that he is serious and that he has no intention of backing down. so, richard, is there a sense this could lead to some sort of nuclear standoff? i think that is where this is heading.
good morning, welcome to way too early on this monday, january 16th, martin luther king jr. day. thank you for starting your week with us. one week after we first learned that a small number of classified documents had been found in president biden s personal collection that number of files continues to grow. in the same box where a single other document was found the previous day. the president s personal attorney discovered the documents, they stopped searching because they lacked the security clearance needed to handle classified material. and they return the next day with department of justice officials, he says he discovered the additional five documents in the same box. those files are separate from two other batches we report on last week. one found inside president biden s garage and another found inside an office he used at the penn biden senter in washington, d.c. sources tell nbc news that one of the documents was marked with the highest security classificatio

They keep us as much as they can. There are things they cannot provide us information about. As much as they can, they do. We do expect them to continue and push forward for a resolution, to negotiate a deal. It is clear to bring home 133 hostages from hamas dungeons, hamas terrorist organizations are holding them in terrible conditions, in tunnels, and they are exposing them to violence, abuse, and violence. We expect them it is part of the social contract because we have from state and citizens and it is part of what they need to do in order to ensure israel is getting the victory we need, which is not an empiric victory. If we do not have the hostages back home with their loved ones, with us, the families, i do not think we will be able to recover and be the same society we were before october 7th.
