a 32-page letter written by hunter biden's legal team threatened to put president joe biden on the stand. the letter reviewed by politco from attorney chrised prosecutors "president biden now unquestionably would be a fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial." a broad plea deal for hunter biden between his legal team and prosecutors was crafted. after criticism of that agreement and questions from a federal judge, it quickly collapsed. leading republicans continue to insist that this is not just about the president's son. >> this is obvious that joe biden abused his powers as vice president for the sole purpose to protect his son, who was receiving millions of dollars from this corrupt ukrainian energy company. this e-mail ties joe biden and hunter biden in to this corruption scheme without a shadow of a doubt. >> there's the revelation that special counsel david weiss once work with president biden's late son, beau. that is adding to the doubts that weiss will produce results. democrats like to point to the fact that hunter biden is under investigation and who first appointed weiss? >> hunter biden's prosecutor, david weiss, is

chris sununu. governor sununu, thank you for being here. what was your reaction when you looked at, i don't know if you've read, all 98 pages.tment coming out of georgia's fulton county? >> well, all disagree on one thing. i don't think it was stunning. i think we all knew it was coming. even the former president said, you, know fourth indictment only help him. so, from a political standpoint, i don't think many folks in the republican side are shocked by this. i don't think it moves his numbers anymore. he has a lot of that built in sympathy vote there. but to his point, it helps him. this is all the media is talking about, as long as you guys, not, you cnn, but understandably so, from atm to 11 pm every, night seeing his name 100 times, and not really giving any air time to any of these other candidates. that's exactly what the former president wants. he doesn't have to want to talk about issues. he doesn't want to have to talk about going forward in healing america, and all these things that the rest of america wants to see. he wants to re-litigate the past, and we're kind of letting him do that. which is unfortunate. i d

chris we go to telegraph. is page to the telegraph. so i'm not sure this is all something to hold our hands up with. and in shock or horror or to say that basically when stuff was marked at school by teachers , it was a marked. teachers, it was a marked. >> yes. well i think the really interesting part in this article is actually the disparity between england and the rest of the home nations that that are still maintaining the teachers. yeah so, no, no, no, no. so what you have here is you have the engush you have here is you have the english people are saying that they're going to really work, be strict and return to pre—pandemic methods of marking and standards while the scotland and standards while the scotland and ireland and wales , they are and ireland and wales, they are still going to have the teachers who are to going do the marking , marking one of the assessment, which means obviously when they go into the workplace or go into a university, for example , the a university, for example, the assessments will have a higher grade

page super pacs last week. do you want a super pac puppet or do you want a patriot who speaks the truth? >> former new jersey governor chris christie also went after vivek ramaswamy after he called climate change a hoax. >> i've had enough -- i've had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like chatgpt stand up here and the last person in one of these debates who stood in the middle of the stage and said what's a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here was barack obama, and i'm afraid we're dealing with the same type of amateur standing on the stage tonight. >> give me a hug just like you did to obama, and you'll help elect me just like obama, too. >> last night also marked the first presidential debate in more than 50 years where roe v. wade was no longer the law of the land. when asked about the possibility of a federal abortion ban, the only woman on stage, former u.n. ambassador nikki haley, had a different more nuanced view than former vice president mike pence. >> when it comes to a federal ban, let's be honest with the american people and say it will take 60 senate votes. it will take a majority of the ho

chris christie is continuing his role as the loudest trump critic in the field. a 15-year-old in new hampshire yesterday asked him about that. >> could you consider taking a page fromally inclined to do so when they go low, you go high? >> no. [ applause ] we tried that with him in 2016. all of us ignored his insults. you have to fight him on the truth. when he lies, we need to fight him because to ignore him is to ascend to his lies. >> so robert gibbs, a 15-year-old quoting michelle obama to chris christie. one recent new hampshire poll had him tied with ron desantis. but christie did come in sixth in 2016. he does have to win new hampshire to keep that campaign going, right? >> he probably does. look, somebody's got to win new hampshire other than donald trump if they're going to stop donald trump. i mean, i think the biggest thing you give credit for for chris christie is he's trying to outline the reason why donald trump shouldn't be the nominee and he should. that's what this debate stage has to be filled with. if you're one of these other republicans, you've got to lay out a credible case for why not to support donald trump and why you're that alternative. t

, like chris christie's way of saying it, this very much looks like someone cooperating with the federal government. do you think that that's what's happened? and now in the context of the 45-pageed? >> so i think he's cooperating. and, in some sense, it was already indicated by other things that we knew before, but the indictment, the fact that it does not list him as a co-conspirator where he has as much legal jeopardy as, say, giuliani. and then everything that paints him in terms of what his role is does not paint him in a picture of somebody who's doing wrong but rather somebody who'd be a cooperating witness. then there's also some nuggets where there's one particular conversation between meadows and trump directly when meadows is down in georgia, and he reports back to trump that the people there conducting the investigation -- >> say it's being exemplary fashion. >> it sounds like it's coming either directly from him, in all likelihood, or that they know that he will could be rroborate information. >> his lawyers had no contact with meadows or his team. and team trump is in the dark on what meadows was doing with their role. that's may, june, july. that's at least three

page and that many in the republican field would stand up to trump. listen to part of our conversation. >> i wish that they would all just kind of step up. i think chrisbably one of the only ones stepping up. i think there's such a backlash from that party. i think republicans, we need to come up with new standards. we really need to kind of say, hey, we have a new republican party that is not part of that trump thing, this is what we stand for and what we need to go forward with. >> reporter: for someone like governor kasich who watched in realtime as he was part of the 2016 field that really watched the republican party shift around him, this voter is right, that there is attacks on anyone who goes directly at the former president. it's why chris christie is one of the lone voices along with former arkansas governor asa hutchinson, and making this a referendum on his leadership, the way he dealt with attempting to overturn the election after he lost it and, of course, january 6th. we're watching other candidates in this field be afraid of almost running afoul of the maga voters that propelled trump to the top of the party, allowing him to remain so

page which you sign. i have not looked at the text since late august when i sent it back out. >> yeah. and you also, crystals did an audio -- chriso did an audio book, so that was a painful, like, 25-hour experience, i believe. and the other thing, some of us who read it and edited it, i'm just going to tell a little inside story. the cover, the elephant with the life preserver, it originally had a red cross on it, but the red cross opposed it -- >> yeah. it was holding a red cross flag, and the red cross wouldn't give us permission to use it on the cover, so we had to go to thed red and white life preserver. >> which i think is great can. but on the final copy, the little elephant on the side had the red flag, and i flagged it. >> she did, mary pat caught it. she said, wait a second, the el e pant on the side has the flag. >> we don'tel want to piss off e red cross. >> that will tell you how little i want to look at this anymore. it was g a good catch, because e probably would have gotten sued by the red cross. good miss on that. so that's the process of the way at least i've written this book, and pretty much the same process t
