Mara Rudman, University of Virginia Miller Center Professor and former Deputy Envoy for Middle East Peace at the US State Department, speaks on the ongoing discussions between Israel and Hamas and the new pressure for a deal as both sides mark two years since the October 7th attack. Senator James Lankford (R-OK) shares his thoughts on President Trump suggesting to fire or eliminate some federal positions during the shutdown and states he believes federal employees should get backpay once the government reopens.
