Your chance to chime in if i got any of that, wrong or put the emphasis in the wrong, place or got any of it the wrong way around. >> no, i think you very much captured it. i would just say for the book by an audience out there, for people who work in politics, this is only the start. we have captured some of the most insane intimate sensitive conversations in the extraordinary period following january 6th, on tape. there is much more to come between now and when the book is out on may 3rd, but ...

And now prosecutors in portugal, looking into what happened in praia da luz, have identified a suspect, a person of interest, acting on the request of the german authorities. hes not been named, but german police have been investigating this man, referred to as christian b, a convicted rapist, in connection with madeleines disappearance. hes currently in jail. officers say he was regularly living in the algarve between 1995 and 2007. he has always denied any involvement. there have been tv appea...

Limitations, which would expire on may 3rd. for that reason, lawyers, including the lawyer of this suspect in particular, hypothesized though there isnt specific new information here to say that hes a suspect, the portuguese authorities have gone ahead with naming him as a suspect, essentially to keep the case alive. what do we know about this individual? we know back in 2020 german authorities said that a man that they already had in custody named christian b., you saw his mug shot earlier ther...

They acknowledge hes wildly unfit for the job and have little regard for him. what we have done in this book, chuc which you can buy online on may 3rd, reveals what they actually do say in private. were not hinting about it, alluding to it, referring obliquely, were talking directly, reporting directly what they are saying about president trump. how they actually feel about the leader of their party, the contempt they had for him, and still have for him to this day. >> listen, both of you, a cas...

That they have asked german prosecutors to relay that information to whoever the suspect is. and as we know, since 2020, the case largely has been advancing in germany, rather than portugal. portugal, of course, is the place where madeleine mccann disappeared from when she was just 3 years old, back in 2007 on may 3rd. that means it is coming up to 15 years since her disappearance, which is a crucially important time. >> yeah. perhaps this can give more closure to her family. nina dos santos, th...
