so thinking about my principal character, bill brock, how did he frame southern? what did that mean to make it something southern? and i think it's interesting just to do some back story thinking about biography, i, i don't know if this helps or hurts us. understand the systemic emphasis on, on this, to think about the personalities. but his family was not from chattanooga, tennessee. they came from outside and they were commerce people. right? they were of coates folks. these were people who were starting manufacturing the brock candy company and, you know, brock's grandfather, other sides, it was cruisy. he had the the chattanooga law, the company. so they're really sort of forward thinking manufacturers and they always wanted that was denied sort of their southern ness. its otherness wasn't, something that they necessarily embraced, are encouraged. and you saw them constantly trying to downplay that. and looking at the minutes of the chamber of commerce. right. that they're always trying to appear more sort of civilized. they want to attract outside investment,

after, all bill brock played a vital role when he shape this of. in the 1960s, he was one of nixon's only real southern strategy successes in the 1970 midterms. that was known as the southern strategy for a reason. i am very interested in thinking about the the intellectual framing, and i'm interested in what they have to say. thinking about conservatism, that it's not monolithic, and that is tempting these days to look back words air and see the fringes, perhaps, of politics. so how can i look at this individual more granular lee, to consider the regional dynamics of this backlash politics? what are some useful ways to define the southern strategy? i'm going to punch on that, for now. i think it might be useful, first, to ask who's strategy? who was using this strategy, and to what end? and who are the different players? who get a benefit, and what was the constituency that it won over? or, it's important to consider, what do you lose in using the southern strategy? that's an important lesson i say. so, there are many southern strategies, as we ta

are at home and no one wants to come to philadelphia but it's a toss-up. >> bill: you remember the kurt warner story, if brock purdue goes to the super bowl he will surpass it. chiefs and bengals played four times in 13 months, jim. three times. this will be the fourth time. the bengals are 3-0. who wins? >> again, this is just a tough game to call. cincinnati is the team that nobody wants to play. it all depends on the health of patrick mahomes. he has practiced this week. he suffered that severe ankle injury last week. didn't look good but persevered and was able to win the game in jacksonville and says he is good to go. spoke to andy reid this week who says he is good to go. the offensive coordinator said whatever he is taking i would like to have that. his recuperating powers are terrific. it will be up in the air whether or not patrick mahomes can do the magic that he usually does with his feet. because of that ankle and that will be probably the difference in this game. i know you are a cincinnati bengals fan and they have been terrific. joe burrow, what a story, jamar chase and all those guys. they are

after a show of support for buffalo bills' damar hamlin, the niners dominated arizona yesterday at levi's. rookie brockdy threw a career high three touchdown passes, two to george kittle. elijah mitchell rushed for two scores as the niners blew out the cardinals for their tenth win in a row. after the game purdy insisted the niners still have untapped firepower. >> i feel we still haven't played to our full potential yet. we look at it as a challenge. man, if we do play to our full potential, what else could we do? i'm excited. >> they host seattle in the first game of the wild card. the next round is saturday. the next is l.a. chargers against jacksonville airing here on nbc bay area. nbc bay area will carry the third game sunday featuring baltimore against cincinnati. >>> this morning we have live team coverage. current conditions, ahead on "today in the bay," meteorologist kari hall tracking your hour by hour forecast. e'll tell us when moresh r >>> this morning we are issuing a microclimate weather alert as a strong storm moves again across the bay area. thanks for waking up with us. i'm laura garc

so brock obama, for instance, did not appear that as us president, nor did george w bush bill clinton early when once that was on the 30th anniversary, back in the year, 2000 to us presence don't always go, but there certainly isn't. american delegation there, for instance, janet yellen, who is the treasury secretary and she's going to be there. she's going be talking to a chinese counterpart and, and also john kerry, the planet alignments, are the climate envoys going to be there? so, so on the u. s. side is perhaps not so surprising. she didn't pick the chinese president as also he sometimes address, as he did virtually last year. but not always, i think what perhaps more interesting is that the number of europeans showing up is lower. so you don't have richey soon as the new you k prime minister, those would be a perfect opportunity. him to kind of takes the world stage a man one my call also a no show. so well, germany's all our shoals will be appearing. he will be speaking at devils is, was quite a thin kind of a set of european leaders there. i think that does potentially point

an updated releases this afternoon bills say hamlin remains in critical condition. bring in nbc news correspondent sam brock and cardiology dr. bernard ashby. what do we hear from the nfl? >> reporter: significant developments in the last hour. first time in 12 hours buffalo bills updated condition of damar hamlin to say he's still in the icu and still in critical condition but at least there's been no back sliding here. perhaps looking to provide a level of assurance to all those worried about his condition. we don't know more than that. also we know this, however. the nfl came out, said it is not going to play this very important game, which now doesn't look all so important between the bengals and bills as they vie for top of the afc. not played this week and it's possible only one week left beyond that week 18 they don't play in week 18 either. it's not clear what's ultimately going to happen. roger goodell spoke with all involved and came to that conclusion. >> what about the players? so many in tears, shell shocked by what happened. what do we understand about the reaction today from nfl players and o
