peter! >> good question, john. president biden might think it is a joe president trump deserves any credit, but his top diplomat said it is a little more nuanced. >> the important thing is not who gets the credit but the important thing is getting the results. that is exactly what we have gotten. as i said, the deal that was a grade is based on the proposal that biden put out months ago and may. >> but sound on team biden said all hell breaking loose in the middle east. like the security council. >> thick comments by president-elect trump particularly support for this deal and making it public he supported this deal did send a strong signal and everybody in the region including hamas. >> and also at this stage apartment where specifics of the deal were first revealed. >> when it comes to the involvement of president-elect trump's team, absolutely critical to get it over the line. >> but the state department spokesman's statement was basically ignored by the officials racing to cement the current presi president's l

what question did you say from stephen twist, which is the welcome back to across the board, and john peter, a little bell here. we discussed real news just before we went to the break. george was bursting with an idea. continue, george. well, it is what i was in to say is it, yes is, is the landscape will take in the deal because this is not a bad deal for the last day. the are especially a phrase, they are the conflict in place. ukraine is getting a pounding, so it makes sense to freeze the conflict in place. and in the meantime, he's already getting all this talk from natal and well, issuing these guarantees. all we're going to give you is and then we're going to give you a security. it is bilateral security deals in the he's got these deals from storm a, is it going from, from, from so, and everything else. and those over talk, coming from the europeans in a microphone, in particular, folks listening to use european peacekeepers. so they all these stories that 5050800200000 piece capers. so for valencia said, okay, well i'll take that deal and that's really the problem with the so when

the welcome back across the board and john peter, a little bell here we discussed we on this. and just before we went to the break, george was bursting with an idea. continue, george. this i was going to say is it? yes is, is the landscape will take in the deal because this is not a bad deal, falls and landscape. and you know, especially for easily and the conflict in place. ukraine is getting a pounding, so it makes sense to freeze the conflict in place. and in the meantime, he's already getting all this talk from may to end. well, issuing these guarantees all we're going to give you is and then we're going to give you a security, these bilateral security deals. you know, he's got these deals from storm a is getting from from, from ser and everything else. and those over talk, coming from the europeans in a microphone in particular. ok, let's introduce european peacekeepers. so they all these stories that 5050800200000 piece capers sofa, valencia said okay, well i'll, i'll take that deal. and that's really the problem with the so when trump says, well i, you know, but what i'

i have a question for john or peter, honestly.intense political debate around, you know, acts of terrorism, responses, culpability for them. obviously, this movie isn't necessarily about that. it's about a news coverage of a terrorist incident. but to a degree, was that in the back of your mind as you sought to portray these news men covering this horrific event? if so, how did it affect your acting? >> well, i mean, october 7th hadn't happened when we started shooting this. in fact -- >> we were done editing. >> done editing when that event tragically occurred. but i don't think it would have changed anything in the way i approached it. this is a story about the media and the media's response to tragic events and how we as consumers of these events from our homes, now on our phones, through all these devices, are -- how it is given to us. i think we wanted to show this time when the media forever changed. that was our goal. it was never to be political or apolitical. this is a crisis that has been going on for decades. you could

john f. kennedy junior. peter: from book,rolyn was the dominant. john was submissive. she got off on denigrating him, calling him a fag in front of her friends, taunting him with the male models she kept on the back burner, her explosive temper keeping him unsure and on edge." maureen: absolutely. and she also, counter to the sort of myth that she helped perpetuate as well, she very much was the pursuer of john f. kennedy junior, not the other way around. i mean, he did eventually pursue her, but after they dated initially in the early 1990's, he dropped her. he later on a date flung a letter across the dinner table that was written by a friend of his accusing her of being a vapid, fruition social climber -- vapid, shrewish social climber, and walked out. i include the parts of carolyn that are complicated and that are not necessarily admirable to ensure that there's a three-dimensional person on that page, the same person who lived a very complicated, fascinating life, who got what she was told, that all american girls were told, was the brass ring, and when she got i

peter baker is here, chief white house correspondent for the new york times. andrew desiderio, senior congressional reporter for punchbowl news. and mark mckinnon, former adviser to both george w bush and john mccain. peter, let's start with you. scott bessent is hearing today what caught your attention. >> well, look, obviously, the tax cuts, i think is an important topic. and it reminds you, of course, of what happened with the bush term. right. bush also passed large tax cuts, and then it was set to expire. and then obama had to deal with it during his presidency. what part of it to renew and what part not? and obama's case, he refused to renew the tax cuts for the richest part of the population and allowed the rest to continue. that's presumably what you would hear from democrats going into this debate. but the difference, of course, is that trump has control of both houses of congress. and so what you have is likely some sort of a large deficit adding tax cut. a lot of people will be happy about the tax cut, but it comes at the same time that this president and elon musk have promised they're going to somehow find a way to shrink the deficit, which is at very high levels right now. how

this is a president who demands loyalty above all else, well as to why please see that it was peter to add john judy or the president's oldest son, the really push j d that over the line. so he is obviously not always been a fan of the president, but you sitting up on the dias now and uh does says nothing but great things about the president. now, how big of a role is get you probably want to look back in a little bit of history. mike pens was the vice pres of the 1st time around, not very visible. don't know if judy bands usually and again, not always the most usual presidency. usually the vice president's gets certain areas that we don't know if that's going to be the case here. but yes, so that is j. d van. so he's got 3 adorable little children. yeah, that, oh i see it through with it was, it's an amazing pictures of for his son. i'm not sure how all the was that he was. he was struggling to stay away as a, as more and more matching bands with, with making their way past the podium. you mentioned donald trump's family. obviously they, many of them play the large role in his 1st to him as pr

look, and these guys remember this peter and john and you. alberto gonzales in 2007 was run out of being attorney general for political firings or like nine, i think u.s. attorneys, they fired, they kind of came up with some reason, the rationale for doing so, but it was political. they got rid of the attorney general. this is what these guys are doing in the whole government. they're trying to fire people across every agency for political reasons. career officials, public servants, experts, people who are there based on merit, and they're pushing them out. and past administrations, it's called, caused the resignation of cabinet members. this exact behavior that they're going to that they're going to try to do across every agency. i just think that kind of bringing that context is important in this story. >> and, john, they haven't given us reasoning yet. what will be their justification, do you think, because we already heard from one fbi official who said it's going to be hugely disruptive to the organization, and the administration has not

thanks for the question, john, anything else? okay, great. peterorter: did president trump tell us air traffic control towers are staffed with unqualified controllers, eei hire should not have been brought on and it's not safe to fly commercially, is a question or expatriate the president was asked and answered this yesterday and he believes it is still, indeed, safe and americans should feel safe traveling at the skies. with that said, two things can be true at the same time. we certainly have seen the deterioration of federal hiring standards at the federal aviation administration. the president wants to increase those standards. he wants pilots in the country to have the great responsibility of flying american citizens by the tens of millions every single day to be chosen for that position based on their merits and their skills. so the administration will continue to prioritize this. >> reporter: was the air traffic controller in the dca tower hired or not. at some point because of his or her race? >> press secretary leavitt: that investigation
