people who fled the ftieing is fleeing into the lines of the force we're working with and we are working with the united nations to try to take care of them. about 20,000 people remain left in raqqah. they tell us the number one thing we have to do to help these people, defight isis. they're using civilians as human shields, a hospital in raqqah as primary base of operations. the number one thing we have to do, defeat them and as soon as we can. it's going well. >> given the gains over the last six months while president trump has been in office, how has the strategy changed since president obama? >> well, a couple of -- when president trump came in, he said, look, charged the entire national security team to focus on a laser destroying isis. look what's working, reinforce those efforts and things that haven't and try to improve them. one thing he did early on was delegate authorities down to the lowest level in the field. that means in practice that as our military experts see an rt
8:08 am
the reason we're 60% through raqqah now is because we saw an opportunity about four, five months ago in a town called topka, just there. over a body of water, off an audacious military maneuver to do it. saw an opportunity, delegated authorities to the field helped us take advantage of that. an operation launched in a week and we caught isis by surprise helping to set conditions for getting into raqqah. delegate down authorities, shorten the cycle, it make as difference in the field and making sure our coalition it participating in the effort. i saw with my own eyes north of mosul. important for viewers to understand what these brave americans are doing in the field. in a town called tellskuf, a navy s.e.a.l. gave his life a year ago helping peshmerga. about 80% of the population returned. restoring their community. we are helping with the coalition to

information. one of the newest members, i me interpol. known terrorists joined isis trying to move into iraq and syria and we want every law enforcement agency, border patrol officer can check a database and stop these people, routine stops trying to cross borders. it's a long-term effort, a long-term fight and information sharing, trying to close a net globally making sure they can't travel. just as focused on that as the military side. >> long term, everybody wants to know how long is long? norah said just back from iraq. literally just back. you just got back last night, just got back. >> i did. got back last night. interesting, even iraq, i was in saudi arabia before going to iraq. interesting things are going on in that part of the world. iraq and saudi arabia have not are any diplomatic relations since 1990. i visited the iraq/saudi border crossing just opened in 27

8:20 am
chichi store. what does amazon want? what's the new brand they want for whole foods now? >> reporter: what they want is obviously to extend the brand. to more customers. no question about it. they want to take advantage of whole foods private label business. the 365 brand that has over 3,000 products they can sell immediately online. they want to take advantage of distribution. 460 stores in some of the wealthiest zip codes in america. that has long-term implications for them. well beyond grocery. there are a lot of synergies here. an incredibly smart buy. >> and it's going to be an incredible difference to all parts of jeff basil's plan. taking over the world. thank you, melody. good to see you. amy suchumer is caught in a controversy over equal pay. what she says she should have been paid the same as chris rock and dave chappelle for a

impact on the brain's pathways. author fran smith writes, addiction remolds neural circuits to a supreme value to cocaine, heroin at the expense of other interests such as health, work, family or life itself. fran smith joins us at the table to discuss. hello. good to see you. i think when most think of addicts they don't think they got brain issues. >> the brain play as huge role. addiction causes hundreds of changes in the structure of the brain, and the chemistry of the brain and the pathways that send nerve signals so that cells communicate with each other. and the -- it's very complicated but the basic essence of it is that it remaps the brain and causes the brain to focus on this one thing. one thing only. that object of desire, and blot out other things of interest. so i think of it kind of like a yoom lens on a camera.
8:34 am
thing and everything else is out of view. at the same time, the brain changes your ability to put the lid on desire. >> this kind of thinking, when did it start? back when addiction was affecting the black community and inner city, just cast aside as junkies, addicts, seen as a moral failing. now it's become more pronounced in other communities, now we hear it's a disease. when did that change and how did that change? >> well, the community recognized that it's a disease for a long time, the medical community. law enforcement is coming around. i was in huntington, west virginia, hit hard and talked with the former police chief saying we aren't going to arrest our way out of this problem. what changed it, not only as the opioid epidemic, that's opened up people's eyes to the problem, but the -- the technology. back in the '70s when heroin was a real problem in the inner cities weid

clarify, women deserve equal pay, but not to chris and dave. they are legends and two of the greatest comics of all-time. i didn't ask for the same as my friends. i did ask for more than the initial offer. i think that's an important clarification. >> she's classy, and funny. we love her. >> i don't know about classy. >> i don't even think amy schumer would call her classy. coming up, the peaceful alaskan landscape. i love the jokes. spoiled by the construction of a golden copper mine ahead. what i learned in alaska about the possible impact on the food chain,
