Peter asks questions that the people want answers to. He doesn’t pander to Kirby or Karine. Thanks for being a real reporter.

[daveyhansen]

Qatar is sheltering their leaders. How is this different from Afghanistan sheltering Al Queda?

[turretplug]

“Let’s take a step back here…..” in other words, let me think of a lie.

[sammigiancana]

Kirby: clown of (1) of many in the beijing biden admin.

[oneanddonetzone]

How many billions of dollars did we give the terrorists this time?

[johnfreed]

Last time I checked there were still many Ameticans in Gaza. So tell me how Qatar is helping?

[RedBeardDevelopment]

The way he said “everyone at your network…” said it all.

[pearl]

Great question and statement Peter. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[BookZealots]

Karine is stupid, but Kirby is slimey. We need more journalists like Peter to actually do journalism.

[Starrjet]

We need a Wyatt Earp; instead, we have a Pee-Wee Herman.

[starletsatori]

Uh huh. When the govt defends a nation like Qatar there's an ominous reason.

[Rohammers]

No... we don't need a pause, the advantage right now is fully with IDF, why would they stop and let Humus reset? Use COMMON SENSE.

[deanbacon]

The very government our founders warned us about

[uncleterry]

How many billions of dollars under the table did that cost the taxpayers?

[ottergirl]

Kirby is so off base. " Your Network"???? Did he ever consider what the American people think... I say no

[TheFazha]

Kirby is one of the biggest clowns ever in Washington

[ace]

Kirby is a joke and also sounds like a quirky 8th grade science teacher

[syamalghosh]

This is the only time this WH Kirby guy directly tried to answer a question. Usually responds to every question by categorizing all situations as a hypothetical. I assume him and his boss is feeling the heat for their complicity.

[Neckbeard-ltmi]

It is not ok for Afghanistan to harbor terrorists but it is ok for Qatar, got it.

[DrDaveSalisburyPhDMBA]

What did we give up to Qatar for hostage release?
