  1. Since Hamas has released hostages and are willing to release more hostages Israel should pump their brakes War is never the answer

  2. Very controlled panel with no interaction.

  3. Russia vs israel is a war.
    But 11 million Palestinians against US weapons is not a war.

  4. Bring back Chuck Todd, Kristen is terrible. Everybody talks over her she cannot take control of her own interviews. They use her platform for their own mega garbage spewing trash.

  5. And if your goal is not to save everyone's children, you are part of the problem.

  6. They are Alive.. You guys do not understand those Hamas dudes at alll. They have been living with these people, they are guests, and the Prophet must convince them of Dire Necessity before they touch a Hair. Pus, having been in Cairo finally, these peoples are sneeches, really similar.

  7. Meet the Press continues it's decades long tradition of showcasing Republicans each episode. What a disgrace! Propaganda for the Reichwing!

  8. 8 million illegals in since Joe Biden don't know who they are where they went. border agent live on TV said they have had over 1.5 million, got away's men dressed in camouflage. All running, they can't apprehend. China building bases in Cuba, border agents said young men from China coming in has increased 1000%. Someday you people will have to wake up.

  9. No one like Chuck. Will really miss him.

  10. “Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war. And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained… now everywhere is war … war in the Middle East … war in the West … War in Europe … War in Asia … War in Africa …. Everywhere is war …”

    Haile Selassie I …. Speech to the United Nations, 1963 …

  11. Lets Go !!! Meet the NBC one sided dangerous press. Watch a non partisan news outlet to see how much news NBC has been ordered to ignore. Its truely amazing. Cant trust one sided media , eh NBC?

  12. Who supports Hamas that is the consequence !!

  13. Is Ludacris that Israel started indiscriminately bombing everything without any care at all for any of the hostages. If I were kidnapped I would hate for the police to be fired bombing the house that I was in

  14. I am anguished listening to the focus of your reporting. We are talking about 200 hostages who may have the chance to live. Compare on average 100 children dying because Israel continue to throw bombs into Gaza. It appears Palestinians lives don’t matter.

  15. I’m sure they are worried Biden is coming… and that’s why they released them.. Maybe he will take them “behind the gym” or maybe they are afraid he is coming to touch and smell their children.

  16. Maythegloryofthealmightyallahblesstheworldstopthewarpeacebeuponallofus

  17. These aren't Americans, they are Jews with American passports. Let them pay

  18. Wouldn't expansion of pro-Tem powers need to be carefully drafted to prevent future exploitation by temporary speakers, and thus take time to negotiate?
    Why can't McHenry just be voted in as full speaker with option to replace him if another speaker is agreed on by the party later on?

  19. Hamas, shot it's missles, and ate terrified by The IDF.

  20. So who shot rockets at that hospital????? MSM is trash

  21. Yeah but by blockading Gaza, Israel basically hold the entirety of the 2m Gazans hostage since even before Oct 7!

  22. Let the people go home. Terrorism is not acceptable. Hostage taking is terrorism.
    Give Peace a chance by evolving beyond violence. ☮🕊☮
    And why not?

  23. There are over 2 million Palestinians held as long term hostages in Gaza by the Democratic Republic of Israel. Show real humanity and desire for peace, return stolen lands and allow a free and independent State of Palestine to be created.

  24. NETANYAHU helped create and fund HAMAS for this

  25. as muslim i want to say a bit… palestien muslim is like the best of muslim… do not worry they will treat those hostage like guest ….

  26. How was they released I wouldn't think Hamas would just hand them over 🤔 seems lil weird to me. Think you God cause if this is true then it had to be God. But we never know they could be staging this cause it does say in the Bible rumors of war to.

  27. Not trying to downplay here but for a week now MTP has reported in nothing else but this war. Trump trial? US economy? Republican speaker issues? Not worth 5 minutes at the end of the program once a day?

  28. What’s the over/under on how long it will take Kristen Walker to say, “I really appreciate it.”?

  29. FIRE KRISTEN WELKER FAKER!!!!!

  30. Andrea mitchell for God's sake SHUT UP!
