peter baker, mccaffrey, and michael allen still with us. general, knowing the capabilities of these two countries, what are your biggest concerns at this moment? >> well, i think the bottom line is, that iran has a major attack capability with elastic missiles, cruise missiles, and unmanned drones, which if we take the foreign minister at his word, presumably will be unleashed on israel israel has a tremendous attack capability of their own, after strike fighters, that can, without question, penetrate iranian airspace and go after strategic targets. the two hammers are out. tw the question is, what will the iranian student! one can only hope the biden admin, sector blinken, and others, they will be on the phone wanting to back off what looks like an impending major escalation of the war, which will devastate iran and possibly draw in other belligerents at the same time. >> hi how if a hurdle is that for secretary blinken to try to do something like that, given the tensions between these two countries? the actions they have taken in the last

joining us now chief white house correspondent for "the new york times" peter baker. so pleased when you can join us. reporting on this extensively and your new story includes a few factors the biden's team hopes to capitalize and a wild card that's also in the mix. break it down for us, please. >> yeah, exactly. we've been of course seeing these talks start and stop and stalemate basically for months, but the white house sees a particularly narrow window that might be available right now to make this deal. part of it of course they want to take advantage against the successful advance of israel from that iranian strike a couple weeks ago. they believe the public opinion in israel is increasingly putting pressure to bring home the hostages and they would like to have a normalization more importantly for them a defense. and they see some indications hamas may be willing to make a deal. remember at this point the americans have said it's hamas not israel that has stopped the deal, that israel has agreed to what the americans have been proposing as you say going further i

we will bring in peter baker. ite house correspondent for the new york times and co- author of the divider, trump and the white house 2017 to 2020. peter, this is the second time this week we've gotten hostas video -- hostage video from hamas. >> i think they're trying to raise the pressure on israel in terms of continuing the negotiations over whether there should be a cease-fire in exchange for a hostage release. we've had the nine estates playing a role of the egyptians and -- on such a deal. as of this week, the by the ministration says israel has actually accepted the u.s. brokered plan for an exchange of 40 hostages for 6 weeks of cease-fire. it is hamas that has a -- refused to agree to that. it's personally been obstructing any kind of deal. but by releasing these videos, they are trying to raise the pressure on benjamin netanyahu, galvanize the public who is very concerned about these hostages. and it is a tactic that has had some success. >> do you think there is also because there's been tremendous quest

new book, the return of great power, russia, china, and the next world order, it is out now, and peter bakers back with us. peter, the biden administration is trying to walk a really difficult, thin line between supporting israel's fight against hamas and strongly encouraging them to protect civilians. how hard is that? >> very hard, beasley has been very successful up until now. pushing the president along that line, he is going further than he had before in saying he is going to leverage american support, maybe arms, specifically american support for israeli response to his concerns over humanitarian issues and civilian casualties in gaza. he saw the beginning of the response. israel says it is going to open up the crossing in the north, gaza has been closed up until now. more humanitarian goods. the admin tells us that they expect more commitments by netanyahu's government in the hours and days to come, the demands made by the president will see how far they are willing to go and whether it is enough to satisfy the president. for now he is ready to take a stronger position that he had bee

joining us now, garrett haake, ashley parker, and peter baker.rth carolina is really critical. they have a governor's race. they had a senate race. if they won that race, if they had done more, a lot of criticism from people i know down there, democrats that the dnc did not do enough for that senate race. they would be more comfortable in the senate right now. >> reporter: would have helped. it looks like it should be a democratic fast. it's diverse. highly educated voter population. it's been one that got away for democrats the last several cycles. joe biden was part of the last ticket to win with president obama in 2008. that was the last time any democrat won north carolina at the presidential level in many years. democrats have had democratic governors. they have had some senate races get close. it's a real opportunity if you can make north carolina competitive or even if you could actually win it. it's 16 electoral votes. it's bigger than michigan, wisconsin. not that you want to, but if you lost a state like that and you win north carolina,

peter baker is back with us.alk a really difficult, thin line between supporting israel's fight against hamas, and strongly encouraging them to protect civilians. how hard is that? >> very hard, and hasn't been successful until now. he's pushing further along that line, you're talking about my going further than he has before in saying he's going to leverage american support, specifically american support for israel he response to his concerns over humanitarian issues and civilian casualties in gaza. you saw the beginning of a response tonight, israel said to open up a crossing in the north, gaza had been closed until now, and opened a port for more humanitarian goods. the administration tells us that they expect more commitments by netanyahu's government in the hours and days to, that would match the demands made by the president. we'll see how far they are willing to go, whether it's enough to satisfy the president. for now, he's willing to take a stronger position that he's been urged to take by other democrat

joining us now, "new york times" chief white house correspondent peter baker, and msnbc political analystednesdays and weekends to go on the, you know, political trail. where does this leave his campaign, though, going forward? >> well, look, a traditional candidate might find that a bit of a hindrance, not being able to shake as many hands, kiss as many babies. this is a nontraditional candidate. the courthouse is a part of his campaign at this point. the campaign is making an argument that he's a victim of a political witch hunt. that's part of his appeal to his base, i'm a victim just like you are. they're coming after me because they're coming after you. grievance and victim hood are central to his argument. while a courthouse is not a traditional campaign stop, he's making it, in fact, integral to his own campaign for another term. >> do you think that, as we go down the line and as we get closer to november and as these cases continue to be a focus of many people's attention, that it could start turning some against the former president, maybe some who haven't made a decision one wa

and msnbc political analyst, peter baker. lisa, i want to begin with you on the legality of this and what this is going to mean potentially in 45 days. >> this means that after 15 weeks, women in arizona will not be able to get abortion and up to 15 weeks, they will be able to get it only in instances where their life is at risk. and as we know from watching other states experience this, certainly though a woman whose lives have been at risk in other states but whose physicians have been afraid of how they will demonstrate that and therefore have not performing the procedures. so i don't think you can walk away from this saying well, up to 15 weeks, women whose lives are in danger will be able to get the procedure. that, too, is in question now because of how you demonstrate a woman's life is at risk. >> the she the won responsible for enforcing this law? >> no and yes. she has said she will tell prosecutors cease and desist from forcing this law. however, that's no guarantee and one or more could take her to court and say yo

pecker responding yes, it was. >> and we have peter baker and joy spent still with us.i wanted to start with you. let's talk about the fact that the day began before david pecker cut back on the witness stand, with the manhattan d.a.s office saying there four alleged violations, brand-new ones, of the expanded gag order, judge merchan setting a hearing for next thursday. we don't have a ruling from the first motion for contempt? so what is the delay, because we now have four new violations. >> we do. we have ongoing violations, and the issue that the judge basis is either this gag order has teeth and he will enforce it, or it does not have teeth and in which case donald trump can do anything he wants to do with regard to this jury, witnesses, or the court families for that matter. so this has to come to a head. the delay likely gives the judge a little bit of extra room to gather additional evidence, but the statute gives them very limited options. he can either impose a penalty of a $1000 for each violation, or he can impose up to 30 days of custody. there is no room t

thank you, aaron gilchrist and also peter baker. speaking of ukraine, everyone, we have a reaction from president zelenskyy in ukraine who has reacted to the news from washington d.c. here's what he writes. i'm grateful to the united states house of representatives, both parties and personally speaker mike johnson for the decision that keeps history on the right track. democracy and freedom will never fail as long as america helps to protect it. the vital u.s. aid bill passed today by the house will keep the war from expanding, safe thousands and thousands of lives and help both of aeronations to become stronger. just peace and security can only be obtained through strength. we hope the bills will be supported in the senate and sent to president biden's desk. he wraps that up with a thank you, america. it is something that many people will be very proud of with this accomplishment today. and then there are the likes of marjorie taylor greene who puts a big thumb down in the face of that which ukraine has been facing and valiantly fi

monica alba is in washington, and also with us, peter baker "new york times" chief white house correspondent and an msnbc political analyst. monica, secretary blinken today said there should be an independent investigation into that aid convoy strike, and in a statement, world central kitchen put it a lot more bluntly. the idf cannot credibly investigate its own failure in gaza. so what do we know about how hard the white the house might push on that, or is israel's word enough? >> it's really interesting, chris, because the white house and national security council spokesman john kirby earlier today some time ago indicated that the white house was going to reserve judgment on those preliminary findings from the investigation. he was trying to make the argument that in effect this isn't israel doing its own investigation, that it was a separate branch that doesn't report directly to the idf that made this assessment, almost trying to imply that maybe that could be perceived as some kind of an independent investigation. of course that isn't good enough for world central kitchen, and you did s

let's bring in peter baker, political analyst and chief white house correspondent for the new york timesr has written several reports this week on the ever evolving relationship between u.s. and israel. it is only getting more interesting, peter, because as you write in one of your articles, you describe the call between president biden and benjamin netanyahu as tents and pointed out it was the first time with the president actually leverage usaid to influence the conduct of the war. how significant is this moment, both on the u.s. front and on the international stage? >> on one level, it is very significant for the reason you just said. up until now, president biden has said, look, i want the israelis to take more care for civilian casualties, to do more to allow humanitarian aid, but he wasn't using the influence he has is the american arms supplier and defender of israel on the world stage to leverage that into action. this time, he was. he was so outraged, upset about the world central kitchen workers who were killed according to aides that he finally basically said, he got prime min

is that your unfounded or is there a reason, as peter baker said earlier, the white house is on edge? should be. if in fact iranians choose to strike israel proper or even lower mx travertine embassy somewhere, i think the israeli government will be under enormous pressure to cross what i think would be a red line and a trigger for the prospects of a regional war. that is a direct strike on iranian assets in iran. if that should happen, i think it will be extremely difficult depending on how the eskimo tory matter plays out -- eskimo tory matter plays out in the united states. you could end up with something we've never seen before. a major regional war with ballistic missiles. and the reason for a regional confrontation. i hope you're not going there. >> you paint a concerning picture. aaron david miller, thank you and we present your expertise. the north east is not out of the woods. how long the threat from aftershocks will last after the earthquake. >>> plus, what you do not know about monday's solar eclipse. o and you need scotts turf builder rapid grass. it's revolutionary mix o

correspondent for bbc news katty kay and chief white house correspondent for "the new york times" peter bakere this morning in the "new york times" by chef jose andres. there's almost a feeling that this is a turning point which i would say is sad because you would think gazans, as many gazans getting killed would have been a turning point. >> right. >> but these aid workers really bring home how indiscriminate a lot of the killing has been. a lot of aid workers being killed. even hostages doing everything -- you know, escaped hostages being gunned down, doing everything they're supposed to do. and these high-profile incidents we always say, oh, there's going to be an investigation here, there's going to be an investigation there. meanwhile, support for israel, a country i will always support, dropping not only in the united states, dropping in europe, dropping across the world. benjamin netanyahu in joe biden's opinion is hurting the israeli cause across the region and across the world. how much longer before we move from words to actions in the white house? >> yeah, i think that's the real

. >> doris, hi, it's peter baker. congratulations on the new book.era and president biden today and the young people we're seeing in columbia and all these other colleges. is there a parallel there or lessons for the current president? >> well, i think the most important thing is that with the vietnam protest, there was a clear sense of mission to stop the bombing and to begin negotiating a peace, and what you saw happening among the overwhelming majority of students who joined the mccarthy campaign in new hampshire was that they had been -- he was going to be running against lyndon johnson for the presidential nomination, and the kids had, i think, been taught by the civil rights movement of the importance for discipline, the importance of staying on message, the kids cut their long beards and their hair. girls wore long skirts instead of mini skirts. they knew that their goal was to fire the conscience of the american people, and it worked for them. i mean, mccarthy got 42% in that new hampshire primary. that led to lyndon johnson deciding to make

. >> peter nailed one thing correctly, there were 25 >>s by central bakers all contradicting each other that they can move 1/4 point and affect inflation. the economy is $25 trillion, 150 million of us go to work trying to do better for our sons and our families. that drives the bus and i think they think too much and one thing that has not been mentioned and i think this is huge and that is the size of government in the sevens in 5 years and all of it is debt. that is inflationary and if that isn't worrisome, worrisome for interest rates going forward to accommodate options coming down the spike to cover all that money. i don't know what is so keeping fingers crossed the lot of debt won't hurt us but you get $50 trillion, that they will take that. neil: appreciate you taking time for 460 points. on growing fears that rate cuts might be coming. unlocking the power of thinkorswim, the award-winning trading platforms. bring your trades into focus on thinkorswim desktop with robust charting and analysis tools, including over 400 technical studies. tailor the platforms to your unique needs
