negativity and grievances of the past. the better choice for a better america? nikki haley. >> she doesn't even mention desantis. >> why should she? again, andrea, it's a two-person race. no one's thinking about ron. he's not playing in new hampshire. he's going to get crushed in south carolina and this win he promised in iowa is not coming to fruition and he's falling way behind. when you see that ad, you see donald trump holding up a bible. looks like the guy has never held the good book before. when you look at what nikki has brought to the table from conservative values, what she's done for south carolina, her understanding of international issues and most importantly, she gets it done. we can all agree on policy, but nikki has a record of always getting things done. working with congress to secure the border. working on health reform. this is where voters finally

for the long haul. lots of things could happen. trump is the frontrunner. it could be interesting the next couple of weeks. >> i want to let you get out of the cold, kristin. quickly, when you talk to the candidates, is desantis -- is there any chance he would drop out before new hampshire if he does badly in iowa? >> there's always that chance, andrea. i interviewed him multiple times. he is defiant. he is in this for the long haul. i spoke with one of his top advisers overnight who underscored the point that they are not looking to drop out after iowa, no matter what happens. notably in his interview with dasha burns, she asked, what other state can you win? she pressed him on this. he couldn't pin down a state. not the case with nikki haley. she's within striking distance of former president donald trump. again, if you think about chris

palestinian rights, for a palestinian state. this prime minister and some of his ministers have refused. the secretary really ran into a brick wall with netanyahu and those right wing ministers. what is the chance israel will make the hard decision the secretary has been caming for, which could lead to a different future, a more secure future he says for all sides in the middle east? >> andrea, i will say this is the secretary's fourth trip to the middle east since october 7th. there was a difference in this trip from the first three. in the first three trips, the arab partners we went and talked to were not ready to discussion issues around the day after, reconstruction of gaza, security in gaza and governance in gaza. the secretary met with -- traveled to nine countries and met with leaders in each of those and was able to secure

>> reporter: it's interesting, andrea. there isn't really an internal issue and an external issue right now, because we are in the age of social media, the age where everyone can exchange information, some of it false information, some of it deliberately distorted, some of it accurate, obviously. we haven't seen much from hezbollah today. we didn't see a rain of missiles coming down from the north. i've been speaking to several arab leaders, senior arab leaders and analysts across the region. what they are concerned about is that the united states, others, are going to be increasingly accused of hypocrisy, that they will not do much to stand up for the lives of palestinians, they will continue to veto resolutions calling for a cease-fire, but they will act immediately to protect global shipping, that palestinians don't matter as much as cargo

chief, with president biden. the defense secretary is going to stay in office. the president has full faith and confidence in him. >> reporter: so one of the other things that's taken more time to refine here is exactly what they wanted to go after with these strikes. there's two real goals here. one is to be able to deter the houthis' ability to continue to carry out these very dangerous and threatening attacks against ships in the red sea. they did that last night by going after warehouses, places where the houthis are storing or even assembling things like these one-way drones, where they store anti-ship cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. also going after radar sites that they use for targeting, launchers that they launch these things from. the goal to degrade their ability to stop the attacks. in addition to that, the hope is that this will deter. as we heard from richard and we have been hearing ever since last night is the houthis have

jazeera, there's no distinction, because the houthis say what they have been doing and what they say they will continue doing in the red sea is directly related to gaza. they say the reason they're attacking commercial ships is in order to impose a kind of blockade on israel the way that israel is imposing a blockade on gaza. something the biden administration disputes. >> courtney, pick it up there. you have the defense secretary lloyd austin giving his final sign-off to this from his hospital where he is being treated for complications after prostate cancer surgery. how did the joint operation come together? what are they saying at the pentagon? >> reporter: that's right. he was in the hospital. he remains there today. complications from the prostate cancer surgery. the actual targets and strike options have been coming together over a matter of weeks. the white house started looking at options in late 2023.

there will no be a shutdown. whether or not the republicans decide that would be with a crime grave enough to cost him his job, that is a chip roy freedom caucus question. >> and they've got basically a two vote majority now because of resignations so in such an evenly divided house, you're not going to get anything done unless there is a bipartisan compromise. let's turn to the houthis and the attack. this was telegraphed day after day. they issued a statement on january 3rd on wednesday last week, week before last, that any further attack would have consequences, and after saying that, the houthis did attack, and there were consequences. do you think it was enough, and do you think it will escalate throughout the region? >> well, i think we should be clear, andrea, that it was the houthis that were escalating this. when you're willy nilly launching missiles and drones

>> reporter: what a group you've got. i can't wait to hear what they have to say as well. this was a long anticipated move. it was anticipated, i think even by the houthis. i spoke to a houthi leader a few days ago, one of the top three in the command structure there, that they would face some sort of retaliation for attacking commercial ships in the red sea. it's such a provocative action that it was anticipated, widely anticipated that there would be a military action. last night, we saw it. across the arab world today we are seeing something of a muted response. we are seeing some calls for caution some calls for restraint, even from saudi arabia, which does not support the houthis at all, supports the government that the houthis threw out of power. turkey expressed some concerns. we are hearing complaints from
