INSIDE THE HOSTAGE TALKS: "I call Jared Kushner after the election and I said I think we have to find a way to work together here. We could get hostages home by the inauguration and a cease-fire in Gaza. He agreed." @brett_mcgurk Former Deputy Assistant for National Security Affairs Brett McGurk joined us on Special Report to discuss his new book, Brink, which provides a fly-on-the-wall perspective of high-stakes Middle East diplomacy. McGurk details the critical turning point following the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and how the outgoing Biden team made a decisive, unconventional move to coordinate directly with incoming Trump officials, including Jared Kushner, Mike Waltz, and Steve Witkoff, to bring hostages home before the inauguration.
