Chapter 1: What are the key outcomes of Trump's call with Putin?
President Trump's hours-long call with Vladimir Putin results in a key step toward peace with Ukraine.
Ceasefire without going a little bit further would have been tough. Russia has the advantage, as you know.
What did the two leaders agree to? And is a full ceasefire on the horizon?

Chapter 2: What did the JFK files reveal upon release?
He also confirmed that his country would agree to the terms and would halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. So definite steps in the right direction.
Right. Now, this all comes as a separate war between Israel and Hamas escalated over the last 48 hours. What's the latest there?
Yeah, this conflict going in the opposite direction. On Tuesday, Israel launched a series of airstrikes in Gaza, killing hundreds of Palestinians. Hamas says the victims were mostly civilians, including children. Israel says they targeted terrorists. After the strike, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that it was, quote,
and his country would continue pushing forward until Hamas has been destroyed and all of the hostages brought home. Netanyahu says that not only has Hamas failed to abide by the terms of the ceasefire, but that Israeli intelligence had proof they were regrouping and preparing new attacks on his nation. For more on the situation, we spoke with Michael Oren, the former Israeli ambassador to the U.S.
Hamas was actively recruiting, actively rearming and planning its next attacks across the border. So Israel concluded that the whole situation was untenable. And while the last thing it wanted to do was to endanger the lives of these hostages further, there was no choice but to ratchet up a military pressure on Hamas in the hope that it will actually come to the table and strike a deal.
For their part, the White House stood by Israel Tuesday, saying the two countries were, quote, in lockstep. And the Netanyahu had consulted with the White House before launching those strikes. A continued solidarity between the White House and Israel.

Chapter 3: Should Americans be concerned about the current economic situation?
Even back then, a majority of Americans believed that Lee Harvey Oswald didn't act alone. Americans still do believe there is more to the story by a more than two to one margin.
Hmm. So what additional information did we get from these documents?
Well, it will take at least a few days for laypeople to scour the files. But experts don't expect much new information. Part of that is because some of the most interesting documents aren't public. Those include hours of taped interviews Jacqueline Kennedy and then Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy did with author William Manchester in the months after the assassination.
Jackie Kennedy also wrote a series of letters to President Lyndon Johnson, including three within a week of the assassination that will also not be released. And then there's what FBI Director Kash Patel said in an interview with Glenn Beck last year after Patel revealed he has read the JFK files.
The problem is the things that we can't release have nothing to do with the questions you guys are asking. That's about as far as I can go on it. But like the answers you guys want, you pretty much have them. There is very minimal stuff that can't be seen for things that you wouldn't even think are related to that.
So at least according to Battelle, everyone who thinks it was a conspiracy of multiple people who assassinated JFK are likely to be disappointed with what these documents hold.
Well, decades later, Americans still intensely interested in this. Tim, thanks for reporting.
Thanks for having me.
