>> minutes from now, president biden willdd bween israel and hezbollah in lebanon. the agreement, made after israel launched a final round of attacks in beirut. some 20 strikes in two minutes. plus prectru ups the ante now, vowing tariffs on goods from canada and mexico unless the countries help secure the northern and southern borders. canadian and mexican officials are responding, and their message is clear. it is americans who will suffer and revisiting the 27 year old cold case of jonbenet ramsey. >> a new documentary backed by the ramsey family says the case is solvable, with the director claiming he knows who may have murdered the six year old. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central we begin with a major breaking news out of the middle east right now. a short time ago,

the israeli security cabinet approved a cease fire agreement with hezbollah forces in lebanon. we just heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the last hour. >> president biden is expected to address the deal from the white house rose garden here in the next few minutes. we're going to bring those remarks to you live once they get underway. let's go to cnn's jeremy diamond, who is live in northern israel right now. jeremy what did the prime minister say about the deal well the israeli prime minister made very clear that he believes the israeli military has accomplished enough in lebanon against hezbollah over the course of the last several months and that it was now time to translate those military achievements into a political solution. >> by agreeing to this cease fire proposal that has been negotiated primarily by the united states over many, many months now. the israeli prime minister was speaking in the wake of quite a bit of criticism from both the right wing of israeli politics for moving forward with this deal,

but also from several leaders from those northernmost communities in israel, where residents have been evacuated for the better part of the last year, and a couple of months now. and that's because those leaders are concerned that this agreement won't actually bring true security to northern israel, that ultimately hezbollah will regroup will rearm, and will pose a threat once again to those communities. but the israeli prime minister explained that he believes that this agreement will allow israel to enforce this agreement when it's deemed necessary, meaning to act against hezbollah if indeed they violate the terms of the cease fire agreement. and he also laid out three other key reasons why he believes now was the right time. he wants to refocus the israeli military and the government on the iranian threat, though he didn't expand on that further. he also said that israel needs to refresh its forces and its military equipment, and he also believes that this is an opportunity to delink the two fronts that the two primary fronts. i should say that israel is fighting right now, meaning the war with hamas and

the war with hezbollah, because previously, of course, hezbollah had been unwilling to even discuss a cease fire agreement as long as israel was still carrying out its war in gaza. and now after months of drubbing including the loss of its leader hassan nasrallah, in an israeli strike, the loss, according to israeli officials, of at least 50 to 70% of hezbollah weapons hezbollah has now agreed to these ceasefire terms. but make no mistake, there is still considerable skepticism in israel in particular where i am right now in northern israel. and we should also make clear that until this agreement goes into place this still remains a very volatile situation. we have seen the israeli military carrying out very rare strikes in central beirut not just in the lebanese capital, but in highly populated central areas of that city that have not traditionally been struck by the israeli military. several about a dozen people, at least have been killed in beirut or in lebanon, i should say, as a

result of those strikes. and here in nahariya, in northern israel, we have heard air raid siren after air raid, siren after air raid siren sending people scrambling into shelters. and you can expect that this will continue until this deal is actually implemented. as we saw at the end of the 2006 war, those final days were some of the most dangerous ones. before the cease fire went into effect. that's because both sides are trying to show strength in these final hours before a deal goes into place, and to carry out strikes on targets before they have to stop. brianna. boris. >> jeremy diamond live for us in northern israel. thank you so much. today the united states three largest trading partners, along with some american industry leaders, are sounding the alarm following donald trump's newest pledge to slap heavy tariffs on imported goods. >> the president elect last night made this announcement that on day one in office, he's going to put a new 25% tariff on all products coming from mexico and canada and an additional 10% tariff on

chinese made goods until the countries crack down on migrants and illegal drugs coming across the u.s. border cnn's steve contorno is in west palm beach near mar-a-lago. steve what are canada and mexico saying well, brianna and boris this development is clearly not welcomed by america's north american neighbors. >> and they have both put out statements saying that this only will hurt consumers in the united states. look at what the mexico president said. for example. he said quote, some of the largest exporters from mexico to the united states are general motors, stellantis and ford motor company. why impose a tax that puts them at risk? and then the prime minister, deputy prime minister of canada, saying, quote, our relationship today is balanced and mutually beneficial particularly for american workers. canada buys more from the united states than from china. japan france and the uk

combined. and last year, 60% of u.s. crude oil imports originated in canada. so as the arguments that we are already hearing from these countries that are reacting quickly to donald trump's threats, and trump has said and in a truth social post, that these tariffs will remain in effect until such a time as drugs in particular fentanyl and all illegal aliens stop this invasion of our country and it's not clear how trump will measure those. the progress on those key fronts and how he will decide when those goals have been met. but i will point out that he has already had a conversation with justin trudeau, the prime minister of canada, in the aftermath of these threats. and trudeau called it, quote a good call. but he also acknowledged that he has firsthand experience dealing with trump and the challenges of being an ally with the now president elect donald trump. >> steve have any private companies responded to these

threats yeah we're seeing already reaction from, for example, one of the organizations that represents footwear retailers and the president of that organization, matt priest, put out this statement saying quote, tariffs would directly increase costs for retailers and consumers, leading to higher prices on everyday essentials. >> families deserve relief, not policies that make it harder to afford gifts winter essentials and footwear for the new year. now, some industries have plenty of experience dealing with trump's threat of trade wars and the tariffs that he put in place during his first four years. it can be a sort of scattershot approach and many of them have experience trying to lobby president trump. now, president-elect trump, on how to to get these tariffs lifted on certain industries and to create carve outs but you can clearly see already there is

some rattling of nerves about how this is going to affect some of the key industries in our country. brianna. >> all right. steve contorno in west palm beach. thank you and once these tariffs are enacted companies that import foreign products have a few choices. one, they can eat the cost of the tariff and keep the price of their product. the same or two they can share the cost of the tariff and only slightly raise the price of their products. or three they can just pass along the total cost of the tariff. tariff to the american consumer and raise the price of a product from mexico, for instance, which would have a 25% tariff by 25%. >> there is a fourth option, though, and this is the one that president-elect trump hopes will happen in an effort to avoid tariffs, companies could become less reliant on foreign goods, and in turn create more manufacturing jobs. here in the united states. let's weigh those options with white house economics reporter at the washington post jeff stein. jeff, thank you so much for being with us. on that note

about companies being less reliant on foreign goods and bringing manufacturing to the united states, wouldn't having a higher cost of labor and procurement for goods here in the united states ultimately make those goods more expensive? isn't that one of the benefits of the global economy that you benefit from the invisible hand moving things around, making costs more efficient thereby making everything cheaper yeah, i mean, as in many things in economics, it depends on precisely who you ask. >> there are some think tanks, some economists even, who will say that the global trade imbalance that was created over the last 30 years due to globalization nafta, other sort of global trade deals with china and other countries has created a situation in which the u.s. is being outcompeted because of these sort of unequal trade restrictions, where other countries have higher tariffs on the u.s. than we have on them. so there are people who say look, if the u.s. raises tariffs imposes more trade barriers and trade

restrictions on the inflow of goods and services, that that will lead to additional production at home, more more jobs in manufacturing and other other, you know, depending on what the tariffs actually target. at the same time as you're saying, i would say most economists, the mainstream economic view is that these tariffs create so much economic inefficiency by making supply chains have much more friction that make them harder to transact, to buy inputs for your business when you put it together that ultimately economic output will be lower employment will be lower as well. >> so, jeff the trump the first trump administration put some tariffs in place they were i guess you could argue more targeted. the biden-harris administration largely kept them in place when you look at what he's proposing here, though how is it different than than what he did before yeah, it's a great question because as a campaign reporter, you know, someone covering the campaign, i struggled to convey to people just how different

this is than what we were talking about under the trump administration. >> the first trump administration trump imposed tariffs on some $300 billion worth of chinese imports. and he particularly looked at specific industries right so we said we have a competitive interest in having steel made here. and so we impose tariff restrictions on the imports of chinese steel. what trump is talking about now is just a different category of thing he's talking about. or he called for yesterday and said he would impose tariffs of 25% on all chinese on all mexican and canadian imports, and of 10% tariffs on all chinese imports, regardless of what they are. and many economists are saying this makes little sense, right? because maybe it makes sense for us to make sure that we can make our own steel here, but do we really need to make the cheapest electronics that are produced in china here? do we need to make sure that all the avocados that we import from mexico are made here? does that even make sense? do we have avocados that are even grown here to onshore and sort of bring back avocado production to the u.s.. and so some of

the, the things that did not happen under trump's first administration that have been upheld is saying, look, the tariffs didn't destroy our economy. we had a boom in 2018, 2019 are being could be tested if trump actually executes what he's talking about here in a very different way. >> it also gets complicated when you add on the idea that trump wants to institute institute these mass deportations, because so much you were just giving the example of avocados. so much of the u.s. labor force, specifically in agriculture, is made up of undocumented workers. so i wonder, how could this be compounded if that mass deportation process actually is pursued by now, a trade war with these these other nations yeah. >> i mean, the trade war itself according to many projections, would have added between 2 or $3000 in annual cost for the median american household. and that's excluding what you just mentioned, which is a great point on the potential deportations. i've spoken to

some meat packers and some sort of experts in labor who say that the percentage of workers in say, meatpacking plants in the midwest are overwhelmingly undocumented immigrants. we're talking 85, 90, 95% of the staff of these facilities that are necessary for relatively low cost of meat, for instance, to become available to american consumers so the impact of these two together, i mean it's a remarkable thing to think about that when trump ran the number one thing, he had going for him was inflation, right? people were so mad about inflation that they were willing to vote for him despite what they saw as his other flaws and the the sort of the two central economic policies that he's pursuing, tariffs and mass deportations could reignite the inflation that propelled him to the white house, which is a hard thing to get your mind around. >> yes. and yet, if time is a flat circle and we can get our mind around that, this could be a circle too. jeff stein, thank you so much. ahead this hour on

shortages is now threatening to throw a wrench into some of those plans. let's go to cnn's ryan young, who is on the ground for us in atlanta. we also have elisa raffa tracking the storm systems. ryan, what's the situation now where you are and what can travelers expect at one of the busiest airports in the world well, absolutely. >> two things. first, you guys didn't do your normal pack your patience. you always do that every holiday so we've been doing it. ryan, you talk about okay i missed it. and when you talk about all the food, you forgot the collard greens. you got to add that to the mix as well. but let's talk about the travel as we get out there on the road. if you look behind me, look, traffic is finally picking up out here on the connector. this is a very busy area of course, in atlanta. is this any different than normal traffic? well, according to triple a, 71 million americans are expected to hit the road. that's a million more than last year some of that could be because of gas prices. gas prices are actually down this year. 3.74 average last year around 3.25. i don't think people are really making the decisions

based upon that $0.25. we did talk to some folks who said they could not wait to get out on the road, because they didn't want to deal with the tsa. we know millions of more people are expected to go through the airport in fact, just today alone, 2.8 million people are expected to go through tsa check lines. but again, as you always say, pack your patience and listen to triple a talk about all the increased volume of traffic. take a listen no cell phones folks. >> you know, again, it's about having the focus on the road so everyone can get to their destination safely. we don't have to be looking at the screen and trying to drive because that navigation now also speaks to us as well, right? so it's about using all your senses, but making sure your focus is the focus of driving yeah, you love it. >> look in the end day, all of us are going to be looking at some sort of screen while we're in the car, especially if you've got kids. you want to hand the ipad back to them, get it all loaded up with the movies. but so far so good in terms of travel, in terms of weather, we know that could change at some point, but there

are some peak travel times and apparently we're in one right now. they want you to leave before about 2:00 to about seven today. it's 1 to 7. and then of course tomorrow 10 a.m. or 1 to 5. that is what they consider the peak times on the roadways. something to keep in mind if you don't have to work like some of us have to on turkey day. but outside of that, outside of the snow, that should be going other places. we should be pretty smooth sailing so far for us brianna. >> it just warm your heart that he knows our travel tagline gets it, he gets it ryan. well, we'll add the collard greens to the list. i do think that's what people are traveling for ryan young, thank you so much. let's go now to elisa raffa, who is in the cnn weather center. what areas are you watching closely this holiday week so we have two storms that we've been watching and we're getting rid of one of those headaches today. >> but we have another one that's going to be a little bit more potent that's brewing as we go into the holiday week

here. so you can see where we've had some minor delays from d.c., new york, up towards boston today as we get rid of one storm. but we have this storm that's continuing to come together in the rockies, the west coast where we've had problems at the airport as far as weather is concerned for san francisco and los angeles through a lot of the day so here's a look at one storm that's exiting. we had some icy and maybe snowy roads up in new hampshire, vermont, maine. this morning. i-95 corridor is clearing up from boston to new york, philly down towards baltimore. that's drying out after some morning rain. now we have this next storm that continues to come together with rain and snow in the rockies that storm is going to continue to progress east as we go into tomorrow. tomorrow actually fairly clear for the most part maybe some problems in the central plains then this thing blows up by thursday and look at the shield of rain and snow from interior new england upstate new york, all the way down to the southeast, where we'll have some of that rain that could be heavy at times.

then this front exits as we go into friday so again, problem spots on wednesday mainly focus in the rockies, maybe parts of the plain. and then by thursday we're looking at it up and down the east coast from maine down to atlanta, where we'll have some wet maybe even some snowy roads. we'll have to watch out for delays on wednesday from saint louis to nashville, maybe down to new orleans. but then a lot of these delays start to get to some of those bigger cities by thursday. if you're doing last minute travel on thanksgiving morning, we'll have some problems possibly new york, dc atlanta, and then those problems make it up to boston later in the afternoon with possibly some snow. so pretty soggy thanksgiving up and down the east coast some cold and wet turkeys there. that means you'll be wet at the thanksgiving day parade in new york city. guys soggy turkey no elisa raffa. >> thank you so much for the update still ahead at any moment. president biden will speak from the rose garden after israel announces it's approved a ceasefire deal with

hezbollah and lebanon. we're going to bring you the president's remarks live. >> and new details in the jonbenet ramsey murder case as her father sits down with cnn he says there's at least one thing police could do to help solve the case who should be the cnn hero of the year? >> visit cnn heroes.com to vote jack the turkey with gravy and fixings. >> fa la la la la la la la la. >> dad we are at a restaurant. >> tis the season for ham and pork roast. fa la la la la la la la la i didn't know turkeys could sing. >> we wish you a lot of yeast. >> i can feel good putting jeans on again. >> it only took one visit. i was back to work in no time after my procedure. >> i just felt so much better. we have performed over 300,000 personalized patient procedures. >> sono bello. schedule your free consultation. >> like a relentless weed. moderate to severe ulcerative colitis symptoms can keep coming back. start to break away from uc with tremfya. with

be speaking on this at any moment, and we'll bring those comments from the rose garden to you when they begin. >> let's get some perspective now from cnn military analyst, retired u.s. air force colonel cedric leighton. colonel leighton thank you so much for being with us. i was curious about something netanyahu said when he was giving his remarks and announcing the ceasefire vote. he said that he believed that the idf accomplished enough in lebanon, and that it was time to turn to a political solution. despite that, you had protests in israel outside the defense ministry and even members of the governing body. there arguing that the war shouldn't come to an end. do you think israel accomplished all it needed to well boris, that's a great question. >> so from netanyahu's standpoint, he needs to make a move where he goes in a in a different direction so that he can, as he mentioned in his speech refurbish the military and concentrate on iran. plus, he also mentioned that he's awaiting deliveries of u.s.

weapons systems at least i presume they're u.s. weapons systems. he mentioned that that was one of the factors involved here. so there is a military calculation and a logistical calculation in this. i think he did accomplish quite a bit. he and the idf accomplished quite a bit in terms of military objectives. the difficulty with fighting a foe like hezbollah is that that foe is one that can change quite a bit, and it can also blend into the scenery, so to speak, and become something else for a while before it resumes its activities. so we have to expect hezbollah to do just that, to go, in essence, to regroup, retrench and then come back in another form or in a in a modified form as the months and and weeks go on here but having said that for the moment, the idf has accomplished a major series of goals to include the decapitation of the leadership of the hezbollah leadership.

they have gone and in essence, decimated the entire organizational structure. and they've weakened it from a weapons delivery standpoint as well. but as we say, all of that. the other thing to keep in mind is that there have been rocket attacks from lebanon presumably all of those from hezbollah or allied groups. and those are the kinds of things that the israeli courts have to deal with, and they have to have in essence, discover what their tolerance level for. this is obviously the protesters do not believe that they've done enough but the idf is, in essence moving in a different direction, based on the political direction that they'll be receiving from the cabinet. >> and cedric earlier today, israeli soldiers reached the litani river in southern lebanon, and the cease fire deal stipulates a greater role for the lebanese army below the river. tell us what's significant about that so that's the litani river boundary is based on un

resolution 1703. >> and that was done in 2006. and it was never really implemented to the extent that it should have been, in essence, creating a buffer zone for northern israel. and allows the israelis to bring the citizens that live in northern israel back into their into their their residences, into the villages that they inhabit. so this key significance is that they get this zone and the lebanese army, which has had difficulty controlling hezbollah, to say the least, as a role in of augmenting the un forces that are already stationed in southern lebanon. if the lebanese army can do that successfully, that will help the israelis help them secure that northern area. but there's a risk involved here. the lebanese army is not at the same standard as the idf and it is also basically at the behest of hezbollah and other political factions within lebanon and it may not be the most reliable partner to ensure

the kind of security that israel needs. so this is a risky move for netanyahu, but it's one that he feels he needs to make, mainly for logistical and political reasons. >> colonel cedric leighton appreciate the analysis. thanks so much for joining us you bet. boris next. could a new netflix documentary on the murder of jonbenet ramsey lead to an arrest? the director is now revealing who he thinks is responsible and why he believes this decades old cold case can finally be solved watch cnn's coverage of thanksgiving parades around the country with special appearances by chef bobby flay, t.i. >> andy grammer, and more john berman and erica hill host cnn: thanksgiving in america. live coverage starts at eight on cnn. >> that moment you walk in the office and people are wearing the same gear. you feel a sense of connectedness and belonging right away, and our shirts from custom ink help bring us together. we make it easy to

it. >> if that technology is used, that's all we're asking the police to do is use the latest technology. they've got to go outside. they don't have the capacity. if they do that and we come up empty handed, then i'll say, well, thank you. at least we tried. we tried everything that could be done, you know. >> golden state killer. green river killer. there have been a lot of advances, particularly with genealogical dna. to me, it's indisputable that this was the work of an intruder. and completely absurd to think the family did it let's bring in cnn's jean casarez. >> she has covered jonbenet's killing for years now and has interviewed john ramsey, as well as a forensic investigator who tested jonbenet ramsey clothing. jean what more do you know about this specific dna sample? this mysterious sample that they're talking about? >> well, what they're talking about right there, first of all, is genetic genealogy, which is the latest dna testing, right where you go through that public database. >> and so many cases are being solved that way. jonbenet

ramsey, when she was found in the basement of the home just to to set this up for you. she had an 8.5in skull fracture. there was a ligament, a ligature around her neck, and it had been pulled. so tightly that she was strangled. she was sexually assaulted this little six year old girl. there was blood in her underpants. and that blood was determined to be unknown male dna next to the blood. and so i interviewed during our documentary in 2016 for cnn. i interviewed the forensics investigator who headed up further dna testing on her underpants, on her pajama bottoms. and i want you to listen very closely to what that testing of the pajama bottoms found. take a listen whoever committed this offense must have pulled down her long johns. >> but then they'd pull them back up because she was found dressed and so the end of that goes on

to say that they found unknown male dna on the pajama bottoms and around the waistband, because they had to determine where they thought they were pulled down. >> and that unknown male dna actually matched the unnamed unknown male dna in her panties. and that is still unknown to this day. so that is something that is so significant. and i remember angela williamson told me at the time that the issue was that when you test these things, that dna is eaten up and then you don't have it for further testing. but what john ramsey is saying, this is this is the time to do it now. any dna you have, this could provide the answer. and that's why he's really pleading for law enforcement to do this. >> it's really fascinating to hear from john ramsey. jean, in part because in the public conscience, there was so much suspicion around jonbenet's family when all of this

happened. and some of that stemmed from the way that police persisted in seeing them as suspects. and he actually talked about this earlier today. let's listen to john ramsey now there were things demonstrated over time that made us believe the police had no common sense and were very focused on us. >> it was kind of a groupthink effort, and it was an attempted lynching, basically it's been known for a long time, i think jean, that the way that police handled this crime scene led to a lot of complicating factors in the investigation. >> but why were boulder police hesitant or slow to the idea of an intruder having committed this crime? >> well and they came out publicly saying there's an umbrella of suspicion around the parents. i think initially the family was in the home. jonbenet's body wasn't found until the afternoon. it was

found in the basement, and i think they found that strange. however, the ramseys said that the body was not in plain view, that that you had to go through a door. it was somewhere that was very covered and hidden in that basement. number two, there was a ransom note, if you remember patsy found that ransom note on the stairs that morning, and it said, we have your daughter. we've kidnaped your daughter, and we need a ransom amount of $118,000. that was the exact amount of john ramsey's christmas bonus. that year. still a very strange fact. it makes no sense. so i think it was that i think also that they believed that someone in the family could have just snapped in fact, patsy ramsey was interrogated very harshly by police, and the handwriting on that ransom note went through forensic testing. and john ramsey passed it. five was

the was the number to pass. patsy ramsey, in her own voice, said that she had gotten a 4.5 and a lot of law enforcement believed that that was her handwriting. but we do want to say that law enforcement, after this dna testing that i just explained, came out and said that we are not even looking at the family. it was wrong. we apologize that we did that and of course, at that time, patsy ramsey had already passed away from from cancer a really significant update to this story. >> i look forward to watching the documentary jean casarez, thank you so much for the update. thank you. stay with cnn news central. we'll be right back erin burnett out front tonight at seven on cnn with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. >> my skin was no longer mine. >> my active psoriatic arthritis joint symptoms held me back. don't let symptoms define you emerge as you with clearer skin with tremfya. most

people saw 100% clear skin that stayed clear even at five years. tremfya is proven to significantly reduce joint pain stiffness, and swelling. >> serious allergic reactions and increased risk of infections may occur. before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tb. tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu like symptoms, or if you need a vaccine. >> emerge as you with clear skin. ask your doctor about tremfya i've been worn by celebrities, athletes and world leaders. >> but i've always felt most comfortable up here with the folks that made me who i am. i'm right at home out here on the land and i'm in my lane on the shoulder of the interstate because this is where i come from. i've been showing up here for nearly 200 years and i can't wait to see what's next. >> hats off to the future.

tribute sunday, december 8th at eight on cnn 55 days to the new trump administration and donald trump jr. says he and his father have discussed shaking up the white house press briefing room. >> so podcasters and independent journalists have more access than legacy media outlets. >> the president elect's son made the comments on his podcast, triggered telling co-host michael knowles. knowles is justified given how the media has behaved. listen to this just because they've been there longer, it's like the way congress functions. >> like you get a committee not because you know anything about banking, but because you've been there longer. and it's like, right. doesn't seem like a great way to do things. so we've had that conversation. like that's a great idea. don i was like, i think we should do this. and so that may be in the works he says the move will blow up some heads. >> cnn chief media analyst brian stelter is here. brian, take us inside the white house briefing room. who decides who gets the spot and where they sit?

>> the white house correspondents association decides the seating chart for the 49 assigned seats, but there are ways for an administration to get around that. during trump's first term in office, he went through long stretches without having any press briefings at all. and sometimes when his press secretaries did have briefings, people would stand in the back. pro-trump propaganda outlets would stand in the back and shout questions. so this could change in a variety of ways. i think change is inevitable when it comes to these briefings. trump has signaled he wants to do things differently. it could be great. you know a greater variety of voices but it could also go sideways pretty quickly, right. let's take what donald trump jr. said there. imagine if a january 6th advocacy group comes in, someone with a podcast who believes that the january 6th attack was orchestrated by the fbi with some kind of government plot. imagine a voice like that interrupting the briefings and going off in an alternative reality that that would be the danger. that would be the downside risk here. but certainly, you know

there are some podcasters and some new media voices that produce rigorous reporting and should be able to be a part of the press briefing system. i think the biggest picture story here, though, is that the press briefings are oftentimes not the best way to break news and make impact in this new second trump term. some of the most impactful reporting is going to happen at the government agency level. you know what's happening inside these agencies, and you're not going to get answers about that from a podcast that's going to require investigative reporting. >> what's the concern about who might be cut off? how big of a concern is that? >> i think there are some concerns about that, but it's too soon to know for sure what might happen. you know traditionally it is old school news outlets like the ap, reuters, nbc cnn that are covering the president every day, that are making up the core of the white house press pool. i don't expect that to change in a meaningful way. i'd be very surprised if it did. but bringing in additional voices is something trump tried before, and it does make sense. you know, the question, of course, is always about whether

this is about information or affirmation, right? if trump just wants propaganda artists to shout positive comments about him, then that's not informing the public. that's just about affirmation. and at that point, it just becomes a television show for trump's loyalists and not a service to the public. >> brian a perennial target of trump's, is msnbc and now one of his biggest allies, elon musk, was posting memes hinting that he might buy the network. comcast has decided to spin off msnbc as part of its cable holdings, but they haven't actually put it up for sale. right. >> that's right, that's right. msnbc is not currently for sale. the spin off's going to take about a year to complete, and for boring tax reasons, it might not be put up for sale even after the spin off is complete a year from now. but musk and his allies are in their chest thumping phase right, winning a historic election celebrating in all sorts of ways including by trying to troll or, as one source said to me, trying to

terrorize the producers at msnbc, thinking they're going to be sold to a pro-trump loyalist that would be concerning, given that it's a progressive cable news channel offering a different point of view about trump. but again looks unlikely from everything i've been told, everything i've heard it would be hard for msnbc to be cleaved off. doesn't mean a buyer might not try, but musk, even if he's just kidding about this, he's not the only one talking about the possibility. i've been told more than one liberal billionaire has made made outreach just to say hey, i'm interested if the channel is ever available. so that was a relief to some of the hosts at msnbc. they definitely don't want elon musk up in their business interesting stuff. >> brian stelter, thank you so much and happy thanksgiving. if we don't see you before then. any minute, president biden is going to be speaking from the rose garden on israel announcing that it has approved a ceasefire deal with hezbollah in lebanon. we're going to bring those remarks to you live
