thise has to look at ludicrous plan, 181 pages come and look at the map and see either jareded kushner is blindr he is a liar. there is no contiguity for the palestinian -- so-called palestinian state. there were five or six times separated by territory which is part of a plan that goes back to him as the beginning of the occupation to top of the west bank so there can be no palestinian state, so there can be no contiguity. if he can't see that or is lying to the people on cnn, that is his problem. we should not be taken in. i suggest everybody have a quick look at that plan because what is clear is this is something -- i mean, you can talk about it in terms of any other kind of humiliating imposition on the rise of the indigenous population by separate colonial regime, which is what we're seeing here. mr. kushner is aiding and abetting this in his ignorance and passion for the extreme israeli rights positions. amy: your book, which talks about the 100 years war on palestine, this is just another moment in history. put this into context of that entry. >> one of the things i point out i

pulling behind pete buttigieg, anything can happen, he's going do send jared kushner i guess today inpaign off to respond to the mike bloomberg ad, not going to give the speech that someone wrote for him and may be a good thing but this is not going to go unnoticed from trump. >> it is not. trump has a glass jaw as we all know and we have to remember, too, i'm not a bloomberg fan but give credit where credit is due. in 2018 he spent $110 million to help take back the house. he used his resources to be helpful in a big way and this is what you are seeing but in a ten times more than that so i'll take it. if he is not going to be the nominee, because it is going to take everything democrats have to win. it is not going to be easy to beat donald trump. it really is not. >> i know democrats listen to you but i hope they take the bloomberg effort in that spirit. when we come back, the incredible shrinking policy portfolio of donald trump's son-in-law jared kushner who was once seemingly in charge of everything. that story next. searching for a way to help stop your cold sore? only abreva c

i did spend a lot of time getting the stuff i felt from jared kushner. he is a very inning medic mysterious guy. host: at first he right jared kushner would not let me record our interviews, forcing me to rely on notes, but his stories were the biggest of all pulled from his georgetown home or pulled from his office squeezed between the oval office and the chief of staff suite in the rarefied west hallway. every story was patiently waiting. my young team was impressed. we are now actually interviewing spider-man. what was most worth waiting for? guest: there are so many. he said to me, i told my father-in-law russian collusion is the perfect scandal for you, because it is so far-fetched and you are so provably innocent. if they had created some scandal over casinos in atlantic city or building in new york city with building permits the public could have been confused and it could have worked, but they chose russian collusion. perfect. he also said russian collusion was a great diversion because he felt they could not have turned around the economy if the

( laughter ) now, the reason these fre

it looks like someone in the administration whether it's trump himself or jared kushner or ambassador david freeman or even secretary of state mike pompeo decided netanyahu as prime minister of israel was best for the trump administration. where does this leave netanyahu's rival head of the blue and white party? well, it leaves him in a very difficult position with few options am before this he was tacking to the right to steal some votes away from lee and netanyahu. any support essentially means throwing some support behind netanyahu and that is what he stood against. he was positioning himself as the replacement for netanyahu and now it seems he has few good options with just more than a month until the election. as for the palestinians, they're almost certain to reject any plan the americans put forward since that plan is likely to tick all of the israelis boxes and then some and very few if any of the palestinians boxes. >> oren, thank you very much for laying all that out for us. >>> next remembering an icon of journalism jim lehrer. i'm alex trebek here to tell you about the col

the details of the proposal kushner arejared unclear.here is speculation it will allow for is really y soverereiy over the jordan valley and the meanwhile reported that they would be undivided under is really control. launch of the plan has been delayed numerous times over the last two years. it's likely to face opposition from palestinian leader mahmoud abbas, and not ininvited to washington. a spokesman warned israel and the u.s. not to cross any red lines. government, the trump administration has avoided endorsing the two state solution, which envisions a palestinian state alongside israel. donald trump said all reports about the plan were purely speculative, but details would emerge before the meeting on january 28. president trump will later today become the first sitting u.s. president to address the annual antiabortion gathering called the march for life. president to oppose abortion such as ronald reagan and george w. bush never personally attended these marches. trump's appearance shows a dramatic change of opinion. 20 years ago

trump and kushner, where you see i mean, people were polled will say they'd like to see billionairesnd they'd like to see big companies pay more in taxes, but they don't follow up with that. in actually not supporting those businesses. they buy iphones. they have amazon delivered to their houses. and it seems like they don't see a contradiction in that. am i wrong about that? andrea: well, i think there's a couple of things that are going on. first of all, it's very hard to opt out of these systems because they're designed to seduce you and entice you and make it easy to use them. so that is very, very hard. but also, people are a product of a very deliberate attempt to create a social consensus that taxes are bad and that tax avoidance is good. tion tax cuts that beganin all with reagan and lasted through the 2017 tax cuts and jobs act. when you look at that, what's happened is that each time the way that these bills get passed is there is an argument. oh, look, we have to close the loopholes and make the system more fair and we're going to lower taxes. but each time you lower taxes

minister imran khan since decades pakistan and india are stuck in a tense stand of about the region and kushner pakistan also neighbors iran is now in a violent conflict with the united states and becoming the epicenter of an increasingly volatile middle east tensions facing threats from inside and outside what mr khan's plans. all of the. sudden you were reluctant for us to lose me. mr prime minister your dog must be one of the most complicated in the world i mean there is your relationships with the united states there's china who really wants to invest here but the more they invest in your relationships with the united states might become even a little bit more complicated then you have iran afghanistan before you joined politics you have had such a fantastic life why do you do that to yourself. so few questions let me start firstly i came into politics because i felt that pakistan. has tremendous potential always had tremendous potential when we were growing up by just one was the fastest growing country nation it pakistan was a role model for development in the sixty's so we lost our way a

. >> wearing it anywhere honestly, even to dinner with the kushners. >> oh!, no. [ bleep ]. >> that is your husband. >> i was going to paris. that was your challenge here. >> of course she's married into the kushner family. >> an epic fail. >> what do you make of that moment? >> what is the big dealing, thou deal, right? you could say worse things. >> but you know what kushner family -- i mean, it wasn't her husband, it was the ivanka connection and trump. so i think that that is what he was doing. such a bad fail. >> i liked it. seems like the challenge was going to paris. >> exactly. so what would you feel if somebody judged you over the actions of your brother-in-law and father-in-law though like that? >> well, i would do the same thing i think that she did with a strange face of oh, you did not do that, on tv, on my show where i've got control and this is the fashion industry and you just brought politics in here. >> when you're part of a family, you have to circle the wagons and protect the shield. >> and we all have those in our families. >> yes, we do.

so i think, i don't want to minimize the hard work that jared kushner has put into this plan, as we comb through the various elements of it, i think it is a very good starting point, i think to dismiss it out of hand, the palestinians, i think have a very weak bargaining position at this particular moment in time. i think it would be a mistake, i also think it is a mistake to have terrorist organizations running a large segment of your government in the gaza strip, there are just huge implacable obstacles to peace. >> which is why we probably have not seen it yet. i want to just do a quick scene setting, katie told us a few people in the room, you see secretary of state mike pompeo, also some of the president's legal team, we saw alan dershowitz there, the president of the united states, donald j. trump has just been introduced. they are introducing, obviously his presence here, we can hear, listen to that, "hail to the chief" is playing. that is benjamin netanyahu who is with him. the head of israel. and now, therefore the laying out of the middle east peace plan, they have been holding

but jared kushner always has a spaced-out look on his face like the edibles just kicked in. the fact that this is happening, that he got this interview at the same time republicans are demanding that hunter biden explain how he got a job he wasn't qualified for is very rich. but the interview, they even shot a little tour of jared's office at the white house. take a look at this. >> when you walk into the west wing, it's a small space. everyone who walks down the hall to meet the president will walk by jared kushner's office. he has become trump's most loyal troubleshooter. the president trusts him and gives him some of his most important policy initiatives to try to drive through. >> jimmy: look at that note. "to jared, great job on mexico, thanks, dad." it's the kind of note you get when you write a book report about mexico and the teacher gives you a b-plus. jared has a bunch of framed notes from trump on the wall of his office. "jared, great job, thanks, donald trump." "to jared, great job, donald trump." this is a map of israel trump signed and wrote, "nice." and then t

let's stay with that and talk about jared kushner.on-in-law and senior advisor to president trump. he was part of the policy discussion. >> president trump has built the capital with israel. he has shown the israeli people he cares about their security and it was only because president trump has been such a good partner and they trust him that he has been able to get israel to make historic compromises. this creates a framework for the palestinian leadership. i do not know if they will seize it or not. if they want to have a stake in all the things they have spoken about for years that they aspire for, it is time to come to the table. if you have issues, sit at the table, negotiate. if you do not like where the line is drawn, move the line. there is a lot of flexibility that can be had if they come to the table. >> a four-year implementation period for this plan? >> the palestinian people have been suffering for a long time, so the leadership calling for days of rage and doing all the things that they do, that's not helping their peop
