take the m2 bradley, one of our key fighting vehicles. over the last 40 years we've upgraded the bradley to m2, a-1, and improved it to one version after another. we have added improved armor. we made many other improvements. although the bradley is a formidable fighting vehicle, it will be the centerpiece of our mechanized infantry formations. we are reaching the limits of technology and designs in the 1970's. we can only add so much weight, can only make our helicopters fly so fast and so far. conditions have changed. we recognize we will be contested in five domains, land, air, sea, space, and cyber in the future. we realize we will have to penetrate robust anti-access an aerial denial defensive networks. we know that we will face emerging technologies like ai, hypersonics, robotics, and the modern battlefield will look very different from 40 years ago. we submit we are at a similar inflection point to the one our leaders faced coming out of vietnam, and like them, we have to ask ourselves, are we building the army that can compete and

let's start with my colleague matt bradley. he is in tel aviv. he's done such a great job covering the effects of this in the region, bridging to bear his experience in iraq as well many as i mention, matt, the threat here from iran is israel could be in the cross sights here. if there is more retaliation. what's the reaction been where you are? >> reporter: well, yeah, david, israel and dubai. dubai, of course, has tons of expatriots, westerners and has about half a million iranians and people of iranian ancestry. that's a strange but powerful target. but here in israel, you know, this is what israelis were kind of expecting, the other foot was going to drop. the iranians, hezbollah, and other proxies for the iranians throughout the region, they have never met an israeli conspiracy theory that they haven't welcomed. so it was a surprise that up until now the iranians and hezbollah hadn't really been making all that many mentions of israel and hadn't seen a lot of israeli hands behind all of this. that changed this morning. we heard from the supr

bradley makes the argument that enslaved people are people, are human beings of course. he positions this argument around human rights. he too cites queen v. hepburn. he points to the dissent we talked about. the dissent that courts should lean in favor of freedom, lean in favor of liberty. bradley also at trial made the argument -- i quote -- although they are personal property, yet they are also recognized as persons and are so called in the constitution of the united states and are capable of receiving a bequest of freedom. ash's argument through bradley is tied to the constitutional question here about are enslaved people persons under the meaning of the constitution. we talked about that in this class. what does that mean? now, it may surprise you that roger b. tawney upheld ash's freedom in this case in 1843. james ash achieved a stunning victory, didn't he? his case is one of only a handful of freedom suits at the supreme court to be affirmed for freedom. tawney renders this opinion that is meant to, in his view, keep the property rights of slave holders protected

gore was much more in the center bradley. bradley was much more on the progressive side of things. i tend to keep that in mind when you see a large field of candidates like this time. who is getting to the center? who was in the middle? it is not always the most liberal candidate in the race. who wins. in fact, oftentimes the most liberal candidate does not win. host: 2004, bush re-. the other side of the field, candidates. john kerry came in first. john edwards, second. howard dean, third at 17%. richard gephardt, fourth at 11.2%. here is a piece of video from the 2004 iowa caucuses that has become iconic. i think it's fair to say. we will watch and have you talk about the impact of this moment in iowa that year. >> and you know something? know something? not only are we going to new hampshire, tom larkin, we are going to south carolina, oklahoma, arizona, new mexico, we're going to california, texas, new york, oregon, washington, michigan, and then we are going to back gton, d.c., to take the white house. yeah!

matt bradley is outside of buckingham palace to explain what that means. matt, good morning. >> good morning, willie. when harry and meghan announced they're stepping back nearly two weeks ago, it kind of looked like a trial separation. but now it turns out it's so much more than that. harry and meghan said they're stepping back and the queen said they're stepping down. according to statement from buckingham palace the duke and duchess of sussex will no longer be called your royal highness and won't be working members of the royal family. they'll give up their royal duties and military obligations, lose all financial support from taxpayers and will have to repay the $3.1 million they used to renovate their home at the cottage in windsor. the queen said that harry, meghan and archie will be much loved members of my family and i recognize the challenges they

bradley? >> first, that's not what the doj ig found. the ig found there was no classmate information in the memo is that the rector comey, then a private citizen at that point who had been fired, gave to mr. richmond to give to "the new york times." the memoranda he gave to "the new york times" were unclassified and case law is very clear. once he stopped being a u.s. government official, he had a further minute right to provide unclassified information to the media. there was no breach of any criminal provisions. there may have been an ethical breach, but no criminal provisions which is why he was not indicted there. there was no indictment of jim comey tied up with a pfizer ig report the fisa ig report. he's going to keep pushing the doj to get and destroy jim comey because he cannot stand anybody who tells truth to power. >> shannon: jenna, what about the suggestion that this was political in nature? >> this is highly speckled to buy "the new york times" and an opinion piece targeted at bill barr and we have to remember in contact th

tom bradley isa this coming out anyway?nd of theirs, why is it being leaked out? there is no smoke without fire. he has been quite close to prince harry and meghan, interviewed them for the show and everything else, there is no smoke without fire, both sides can look at this and claimed that they are being misrepresented. but don't use the media as your vehicle to discuss this. i think the royalfamily has not for decades, i think yes, there is evolution going on, but the new royals have to be careful about what they are trying to change. so many of you have been in touch about this quy of you have been in touch about this guv by of you have been in touch about this guy by the way, hashtag #bbcthebriefing, you tell us what you think about this. talking about dissension in the ranks, sussexes', talking about the catholic church and pope francis looking and discussing the possibility of in certain parts of catholic church, in certain parts of catholic church, in certain parts of the world... the amazon, to be precise. the poss

i'm curious from bradley to know, uber has faced many, many existentials in the past bradley has been there for some of them. is this at the level of some of the others in the early days when travis kelnik was still involved or is this enough to completely upend the business model? >> when taxis were literally trying to stop us from existing in the first place, that was the most existential threat. uber has been on a losing streak when it comes to regulation, london, california, new york or or a lot of other places and these things build upon itself it's not just that the law is harmful to uber but uber no longer seems capable of dealing with this in the first place. >> often the worst ideas don't actually occur, but i would love to hear from some of the riders in california. feel free to tweet any nasty comment to deerdre bosa. send the nice ones to me and bradley. just kidding thank you very much. >>> bed bath and beyond bad. new ceo calling the quarter disappointing. can he or anyone turn things around at that retailer? >>> he played seven seasons with the denver broncos what he's

bradley just put his daughter to bed and rushed over here to do this. he's a sweetheart.rst opened up about getting sober and his past struggles with alcohol abuse in an interview with "gq" in 2017, a year after his split with angelina jolie with whom he shares six children. he told "gq," i stopped everything except boozing when i started my family. i was boozing too much. it's just become a problem. then in a "new york times" interview last year, pitt opened up about spending a year and a half in alcoholics anonymous. it was the safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore, little judgment of yourself. pitt's revelation comes at a time when new research shows that alcohol-related deaths are on the rise, more than doubling among those 16 and over since 1999. these alarming numbers released just as many americans are rethinking their relationship to alcohol, either trying sobriety challenges like dry january, a month-long break from alcohol, or even becoming what's called sober curious. author ruby warrington wrote a book titled "sober curious", the experience

want to go first to matt bradley, who is in israel. matt, we've seen some attacks on the green zone in baghdad. help us understand how this is reverberating throughout the region and what you're seeing from where you stand. >> obviously, lot of moving parts here, david. we saw on saturday a rocket that was launched into the green zone. there was another one that was launched across the tigress river from the green zone and another three rockets that was launched and they didn't actually penetrate into the base in all three of those targets, no one was struck. no one was injured. it seems as though those attacks while they might be a glimpse of what might be to come from this threat and retaliation from iran, they probably weren't any real level of coordination in terms of having tehran decide how their proxies would attack u.s. interests. this could have been in my estimation more likely just an overzealous fighters in iraq on their own. if we get a retaliation, it would be from tehran and might be coordinated and might come right here

. >> joining us matt bradley, christopher livesay and in london christopher bell. matt, let's begin with eyyou, reddic saying if the united states to attack would include israel. lots of question what the morning is like in israel, now in the cross hairs of iran should america respond p. do you thank you that calculation is weighing on iran this morning? is this iran' deterrent so to speak? >> yeah, it's hard to say, we know here in israel, may have been waiting for any event weight. we heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu a moment ago. he said that any attack against israel would be met with strong force. that's no change. we've known that forever. israel always retaliates whenever it's attacked by any of its very hostile neighbors so this isn't that different. but we do know it was a little different leading up to this. before this, iranians, the leader of hezbollah made mention of targeting u.s. targets, military targets, not civilians. they didn't talk about israel. and the hezbollah iranian regime barely met any in the middle east and didn't blake it o

nbc's cal perry, thank you. >> let's go to matt bradley now in tel aviv. matt, nbc reporting on the role of israel in the soleimani killing. what can you tell us about that? >> it seems as though israel did tip off the americans to when soleimani was going to be actually boarding that plane in damascus and flying out. it was israeli spies who were able to pin point his location. then american spies at baghdad international airport who were able to verify his arrival. and this is all based on nbc's reporting. this seemed to happen fairly quickly. and, you know, it looks like united states officials were watching on video screens from washington, from cia headquarters at langley and elsewhere. so that's how they were able to track this -- this target throughout different countries. and of course, the thing with iraq right now is it's dominated by u.s. air -- u.s. air forces. so there was no counterattack. there was no resistance when u.s. drones flew overhead and were able to target soleimani so effectively and so easily. and, you know, one of the things, as

matt bradley is in tel aviv. chris, let me begin with you, if i may. let's talk a little bit about the threat that we just played there or at least the threat that richard engel is reporting about the threats coming out of iran. that iran would use its proxy in lebanon to attack israel. explain to us the.net unanimo d some of the protests that have happened over the last couple weeks in that country. do they have the capability, not just militarily, but politically to drag hlebanon into a war on behalf of iran? >> reporter: according to estimat estimates, hezbollah controls 60% of the country. they have a military believed to be bigger than that. the official lebanese military. both politically and militarily, yes, they are positioned well. also geographicallgeographicall. it's important to note officially iran said they do not want proxies to operate on their behalf. they want a proportionate response to the killing on soleimani. so far, that's what they say they have done. it was a symmetrical attack using conventional weapons on the two american pos

hans nichols is with the president in florida, courtney kube at the pentagon and matt bradley following developments from london. hans, what's the latest we're hearing from the white house? >> reporter: geoff, a couple new developments this hour. number one, the president is answering this criticism at least through the retweet that he didn't read in congressional leaders and suggested they might have tipped off the iranians. he's not directly saying, but suggested they weren't informed for the same reason congressional democrats were informed. quite an explosive allegation. we also have the president seem to be opening up a new front hinting the the government in bagdad, the government in iraq that the u.s. pays billions of dollars, been there a long time, almost a warning not to take any action. there's been some reporting about having a bill in parliament and iraq to have the u.s. troops leave. finally you have the actual legal justification. secretary of state mike pompeo saying this was clearly the doctrine of pre emery self-defense. have a listen to how he put it. >> the american

you lost. >> yeah, they said bradley won the fight. >> it's a criminal enterprise. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i want to mention a couple things. there's a season finale of "power." it's become this big culture, i'm surprised you're ending the show. >> well, it's only ending to start again. >> jimmy: i see. >> because "power", book two, the second book starts 48 hours after the finale. >> jimmy: did you have to call the people at apple and say we have a show called "power book two." are you allowed to call it that? >> most of the shows are made from books. call it book two, book three. >> jimmy: this other show that is going to be on abc "for life." this is a very interesting story, how did you get involved with this? >> actually, it connects to my relationship with floyd. i was a licensed promoter in the state of nevada. at the time, a friend of mine wanted me to come to a fight club. t and it was like, it wasn't legal. >> jimmy: so there's a real fight club. >> put the gloves on and fight. it turned to 300 people hanging out, coming to se

richard. >> nbc's news's matt bradley for us live in tel aviv, israel. thank you for that with the very lateth. i want to bring in our panel, foreign correspondent for "new york times," nbc news international affairs analyst. general mccaffrey, retired four star general and msnbc news analyst. what are you hearing about the rockets? what are you hearing about the protest? hundreds today. also reports thousands the day before. what that mood and tension is like. >> first of all, regarding the rockets, one of the possible players that could be responsible is kataib hezbollah, the proxy that was related to general soleimani. and although iran has said that they are not going to escalate, what most experts fear is that the one itself may not be the one that pursues the next aggression, instead it's going to be its many proxies in the region. that could be what we are seeing now. regarding the protests, i think these are significant. these are thousands of people that have taken to the street asking for regime change, which is for the a small thing in a place

basically yes, that intelligence the failure of many people including omar bradley. you like to blame any one individual, he was in charge of the orchestration. he protested that this was going to be difficult. omar bradley was the one guy to say, hey, you messed up. >> you mentioned the naval engineers, can you speak little bit more about the role combat engineers once they got obstacles opening up the path? >> combat engineers on utah they had to destroy the onlines to get through them. they had to carry on during the war. we're about to not dodging the question, i think everybody kind of understand combat. they destroyed obstacles. they built bridges and they allowed the u.s. army and u.s. combat engineer to move quickly and a speed towards their objectives. think about this, we're about to celebrate the and commemorate the 75th anniversary of the biggest battle ever fought by the u.s. almost 800,000 americans involved in that battle. the reason why you can argue that we actually prevailed in the first phase of that battle was because of the speed and the bravery

and ben bradley.th you, ben, because you asked a question about northern schools but let me ask you about asbo is another issue that many mp5 in the north are 110w issue that many mp5 in the north are now getting exercised which is about transport links in the north. boris johnson was asked about northern railand hs2, we johnson was asked about northern rail and hs2, we didn't really get any clarity from him but presumably he does have to deliver on improved railway links or he is in big trouble. i think he absolutely does and we need to recognise in five yea rs and we need to recognise in five years time we need some tangible outcome from this rhetoric about investing in them transport the north. it goes across skills and so many other areas. northern rail seems to be in a real mess and there seems to be in a real mess and there seems to be ongoing discussion and a plan to change that, whether it is from removing the franchise for improvements. we've said we would look at that franchising system and

joining me, matt bradley in tel aviv, israel. do we have any sense of who may have launched this rocket attack? >> reporter: it's not entirely clear but this is consistent with previous rocket attacks, especially the make and model of the rocket. remember, this is the type of rocket and this is the type of attack that started all of this a little more than two weeks ago. that's when a rocket attack on an iraqy base that was housing u.s. soldiers ended up killing a u.s. citizen. that's what caused this tit for tat retaliation and ended in the killing of qassem soleimani and brought us to the point where now. it likely is one of those iranian proxies. rockets were landed in the iraqi air base. that was answered by the rockets that the u.s. launched on the iraqi-syrian border. it could be then again or any number of different militia groups backed by the iranians or not in iraq. there are several of them. many of them have representatives within the iraqi government with which the united states is allied. it's all a very awkward bed

first bradley who is from louisiana. bradley, you‘re wearing, you are carrying this weapon.important day. this is ground zero as many of the reports have been saying. it‘s like a virus with gun control. if you don‘t stop it at the source, it‘ll bleed out and it‘sjust an infection. the things they‘re talking about are things like only allowing a person to buy one weapon a month. what is the problem with that? it‘s infringement on second amendment rights. bottom line. and if you don‘t have your second amendment rights if that‘s the first to go, what‘s next? and we also havejustin here. you‘ve come from illinois. you drove hours to get here. what is the message you‘re trying to give? the message i'm trying to get at is the government overreach in the last say roughly 100 years in the united states has been getting worse and worse on the national level and the state level, both. and at some point... how is it infringing your rights when you are able to walk around with rifles like you are? for example, one of the laws they're trying to pass in virginia like they have in my home
