so many of peter take his houses are standing empty. come, my dear, i haven't been able to contact the tenant of this place for 3 months in this apartment. the tenant has been out of work for 3 months so far. i can't get anything from him yet. allow this rent or moved out after not paying for 6 months because of the corona pandemic. lego place has been empty since then. enter enter. peter che got might be complaining, but he's doing very well compared to his tenants who faced extreme hardship. he's a man of 2 faces. he might leave the tenants alone for a few months, but then he'll send a gang around to settle, matters by force. meanwhile, the residence of maternity remain at the mercy of him and his fellow slum lords. escaping poverty can seem almost impossible. one way is through a good education and that doesn't necessarily mean a business or medical degree. deafness and imagination, for example, can be very useful. and then very much in demand in one rather magical place on the outskirts of cape town. ah, and to mo, love counselor, c

george you some right that excellent peter. i think that's exactly what the russians saying, which is that we have been saying the same thing to you over and over again starting from 1991. when a go or assurances from the west of the west will not expand into space left. i believe the withdrawal so ok and you know, with complaint again and again the west is treated complaints with content and just say, you know, you lost the cold war, you know, then the brakes. and now that the geopolitical situation has changed very much in an adverse fashion. where was this so playing this game of coming up with these silly, legalistic arguments like, well, every country has the summer and right to decide its own security arrangement. and in any case we, we never promised you anything. and even if we didn't promise you anything, we didn't put it in writing. and in any case, there was a defensive alliance. how much it made span all the way to central asia. the chinese all is still a defensive alliance. and so coming up with this kind of nonsen

peter is an old journalism mind. i worked for the "boston globe" for 16 years and think i spent 14 of them under peter and in the recent years he's talked with such enthusiasm about this book he's been working on the great defender, so this is a pleasure for me to interview him tonight about his book. i can talk to peter anytime i want, so i think tonight is also a chance for you all to get your questions in. i'm going to kick off the conversation tonight with some questions for peter and then turn it over to you so please put questions in the chat and i will try to be monitoring both. so we want to hear from you. okay, peter. you see the world through this legal lens. tell us how you came across this story and how did you get started on it? >> first, thank you so much. it's an honor to be interviewed by you and so many of your interviews in the past. i never quite envisioned being on the other side. it's also a great honor to be back to one of my most favorite places it put a smile on my face after the book was anno

peter: we did. we sat there. and -- yamiche: we have an experience. peter: we did. and i think -- one of the things that's really interesting is even though mark meadows has said i'm not going to cooperate he's already given them some documents and already pretty revealing. for instance, text messages that they have in which meadows trades message with a member of congress on november -- i believe 6 before they even had declared the election for biden, talking about substituting electors in states that they wanted to challenge. and he says i love it. according to the committee. that shows how early they were already talking about finding ways to upend the system and change the result away from what the certified results really were. and i think we're learning so much more every day and every week about the quonseted effort to -- concerted effort to topple a domestic system and your visitors asking about a free and fair election are raising a scary but important point. the truth is it was a free and fair election. but now the president -- former president has convinc

peter oliver can tell us more. the courtier and berlin ruled there to well sentenced vadim kasey cove to life, imprisonment for his role in the murder of zaman hunger fairly back in august of 2019 hunger really was shot dead in a central berlin park in provide and hunting down that sentence. the court said that the killing had been carried out at the behest of the russian government. this is something that moscow has denied since the arrest was made of cassy cove. now it prompted analynn burbock, the new german, 4 minister to summon the russian ambassador to the foreign ministry here and which she told him, but swelled to russian. diplomats would be being declared persona non grata. he's a match in startling miss murder on behalf of the state as determined that quite a day represents a serious violation of german law and of germany sovereignty. the russian ambassador was informed that to members of the diplomatic step of the russian embassy were being declared undesirable. while murray's account of a spokesperson f

perspective on the home button, topics that shaped this policy with the hungarian foreign minister peters, the arctic for our central europeans. it's extremely important that east and west that the united states and the russian federation have a direct and continuous dialogue. we are very happy with the fact that the 2 presidents spoke again for nato and there are sharp talk to each other and then there's a much bigger and better hope for any kind of common understanding and agreement about this part of the world. look, we really do consider the, the security situation of central europe as a crucial issue for us and anything that helps to resolve challenges here and ease tensions around the region service our interest. so that's why we are really interested in successful negotiations between nato and the russia at the beginning of next year. it is very easy for polish hands to finger point on one specific country on one specific person on one specific decision. in order to push responsibility away, the russian federation on the gas from have always been very reliable partners from hungary

peter did a great job there. of course he hit hard this idea there has been word of an exodus at the vice president's office, particularly among her communications team and the white house press secretary was talking about how particularly the most high profile exit is symone sanders and she was first on the campaign and will always be part of the biden/harris family. but she cited it was years that she had been. the term for everybody right now is months as staff for kamala harris. if there was previous service on the campaign psaki is counting that. a lot to get to. it ties into where we're going next, where the president is on all of the questions about this variant. you heard jen psaki confirming the second case of the omicron variant. she gave some specific details that have been reported on. confirmation from the white house, too. she said that this was a person in minnesota according to the minnesota public health who was vaccinated and found to be positive of covid over the holiday. the thanksgiving holid

so we know this is all the tricks and you're absolutely right peter. they refused to recognise nicaragua, they continue to sanction their the entire country. people are living in dire need right now i just got back from there. i also got back from under as, and we were really covering that as well in elections as well. the united states is refusing to recognize any of these countries and the job by the job, by them is in charge. really. that's the point i want to make. this is the continuation of the u. s. department, and of course their foreign policy. this is really nothing to do with the mocker. see, it's more of an, it's more of the tricks. and by the way, the united states government, the united states military, is very rich in talking about democracy when they're jailing journalists like julian assigned. and i mean, it's just, it's just to larry us to, for them to talk about a summit on democracy. when in reality the united states is the number one, you know, per persecutor of journalists and any sort of descent. and they're basically trying to f

>> martha: peter, thank you very much. peter doocy at the white house. let's bring in art laffer, former adviser to presidents reagan and trump. great to see you, art. we see the down is down about 522 points right now. there's a couple of things that might be impacting that. one is this omicron surge and as you heard jen psaki said, she believes the markets are selling off was of the failure of the passage of the build back better bill. what is your take? >> of course she would say that. i want you to know i'm vaccinated and i have my booster. i don't want them after me. just teasing. no, you have a market that is selling off because of the fed policies of winding down the buy backs of government bonds. there's still this issue that is not dead of build back better. it's not. maybe break it up in to pieces. the change is long due and i'm not worried about the decline today. >> martha: so what about the insistence that companies larger than 100 employees have to make sure that everyone is mandated? ocean will be very involved in this. they have to figure

doctor peter chin-hong says there is some good news. so the lying about all of this is that so far at least when we look at cases outside of south africa, unlike in europe and the united states. most of the cases actually very mild. in fact, all the cases in the very mild people are home. nobody's in the hospital. doctor peter chin-hong says this new information reinforces the need to get vaccinated and boosted. >> as omicron. it won't be the last area we discover or hear about the omicron variant has now been reported in 3 california counties, one in san francisco. 5 in alameda and another in los angeles county live in the newsroom. i'm telling second reporting kron 4 news taylor, thank you. >> tonight the centers for disease control and prevention says that the vaccination rate of american children ages 5 to 11 is slower than it was for older american children. the cdc says just one month after becoming eligible only 16% of kids ages 5 to 11 have received their first dose of a covid-19 vaccine. that's a lower rate for older kids. that

so quite frankly, peter, a pledge from nature even in writing is absolutely yes. no charge to find another way to find really frustrating. you know, we've been talking for 6 minutes and 3 seconds already in this program. and all of us have mentioned dates, agreements, or conversations that are documented, i mean, and then i look at western coverage and all of this and none of it. but, i mean, we're sourcing this all the time on a microscopic level. and again, you know then, so the well, we never said, nathan, when expand what is that supposed to mean? and why should i care? i mean, is natal into international law as it's the prism in which the globe sees it security? absurd, but they don't. they want us to believe this. george, i'm frustrated. i think you have absolutely right. now that has been a create. and of course, what, why does the getting away with it for 30 years? is that they were convinced in 998, that russia is now a hopeless weak basket case. it's not half of the size of the soviet union. it doesn't have any kind of economic clout. and you could just

guest: peter defazio is such a remarkable legislator and friend. he will be greatly missed. he served more than 35 years here in the u.s. house of representatives. he is beloved at home by his constituents. he will be sorely missed. i do thank him for his decades of service for being a friend and mentor and a fierce advocate for the people of southwest oregon. i wish him the very best in his retirement. he will definitely be missed, this specially with issues like chance rotation and infrastructure, which he had the honor of leading the effort for that very important committee. also i worked with him on natural resilience issues. he has been a wonderful colleague. i wish him well. host: 19th democrat to do so. what is your confidence after the midterms the democrats will remain in power in the house of representatives? guest: we will do everything we can to remain in the majority. we will see what happens. when you look at the policies and the values we stand for, a better future, really looking out for the rights of people, the rights of people to make reproductive health c

peter, a research fellow at the american institute for economic research. thanks for coming and explaining it to us. thank you. i finally this say, an american act to jesse small letters being found guilty of lying to police, but a hate crime against him which turned out to be stage, but not everyone, even at this stage still is willing to accept the decision b, l m brands jessie small at trial as a white supremacist charade. pledging support for the actor ahead of the burden. we can never believe police. it's not about a trial or a verdict decided in a white supremacist charade. it's about how we treat our community. when her up systems are working to devalue their lives, racial identity, a we're liable indicator of trust for dea lemme. but what if everyone in the trial is actually black? just the small, let found guilty of staging, a hate crime against himself. awesome day road brothers. the attack, as he paid to beat him and yelled racial slurs, chicago police department superintendence. could have been a tough one for b, l m. thank god, there's always a

peter, are you seeinr political point. peter, are you seeing other— political point. peter, are you seeing other countries - seeing other countries following suit with their own diplomatic boycotts. it is diplomatic boycotts. it is . uite diplomatic boycotts. it is quite possible _ diplomatic boycotts. it is quite possible neither i diplomatic boycotts. it 3 quite possible neither the united states is taken this stance, that others will follow suit. we are not looking at, a lot of people looking at this and making this point and a lot of people in the sporting road do not like the fact that the olympics are used in some senses as a political tool, but the point is being made that whatever action is taken politically or diplomatically by the united states are potentially other countries, it is not going to affect the nature of the games themselves in the sporting activities. although china clearly as you refer to are protesting distancing that the games should not be used to essentially make political points like this, i think manipulation was the expression that they

peter asked the last question there, it sounded like, peter, that the president said at this point, acting unilaterally is not something that the administration is prepared to do should russia invade ukraine, right? >> yes, he made it clear that his message was clear that if russia invades ukraine, there will be severe consequences like never seen before. very tough in the language there. he said that vladimir putin understood that, but wait to see what putin's calculation is here, will he chance his behavior, and president also making it clear that the u.s. would or would not send american troops to ukraine. obviously ukraine is not a nato member country. the president did say that the u.s. was very prepared to provide additional defensive capabilities to ukraine and to other american allies that surround russia in that region. baltic states, poland among them. they want confidence from the u.s. and allies that america will have their back on this. just to punctuate all of this, when i asked him the last question about whether or not he was confident that vladimir putin got the message, h

thanks, peter. steve: can i ask peter a question? peter, are you still there. >> i'm here. steve: looking at the white house lawn behind you. you sent out to the company last night along our email chain that apparently there are new pets coming to the white house lawn? >> yeah, there is. they had to send the troubled major biden who had been biting some white house staffers off to live with family friends. they got a new puppy named commander. going to get a cat in january. normally that's very pedestrian news. there is possibly reason to read more into it because jen psaki said a couple months ago that they were going to save the cat announcement for a bad news day. and so. steve: today's the day. brian: peter, i have an additional question. would you say at the end you said that, you know, they said at the time that they thought you didn't wear a mask when you are vaccinated at the time. and that's what kamala harris in an interview said we did not -- we were not -- we did not see delta coming. and anthony fauci came out sunday and was asked about that who is right? you c
