brian: brian gruber, your book. party," what is it about? mr. gruber: it is about whether we achieve the mission when we go to war. all my life we have been in one military intervention or another. in business, when you look at a project, you look to see whether you have achieved your objectives, and at what cost. i wanted to see through this last half-century of military interventions, partisan politics aside, morality aside what , happens after the party is over? what are the after affects of war and what are the human and financial costs on both sides? brian: when did this idea start? mr. gruber: my birthday is august 4. two years ago on august 4, 2014, was the 40th anniversary of the gulf of tonkin incident. at that time isis was marauding across northern iraq. it seemed to me as look ends that was odd that the cost of the vietnam war and the outcome of the vietnam war 50 years after the gulf of tonkin incident, which as you know, president johnson went on national television that day in 1964 to ask congress to approve his ability to acceler

i'm tia ewing. >> brian: i'm brian duffy. let's get to the wake-up forecast with our meteorologist sam roberts. hey, sam. >> samantha: good morning. it's 6:30 and we're off to a cloudy and cold start across northeast ohio. you can see there are some lake-effect snowshowers and a little rain off to our east in northwestern pennsylvania. here at home really not much to write home about at all. it's been very quiet today. i do think we get through the morning commute problem-free a again, budged bundle up because it's chilly. 37 at 8:00 and upper 30s by 9:00 and you factor in the breeze and it feels like it's in the upper 20s and lower 30s. even this afternoon as we hit about 40, it won't feel like it. it's going to feel more like it's in the 30s just all day. so, you know, we're kind of settling into december. i gave you the yellow light for your drive home. there could be brief wintery mix around, especially out in the snowbelt east of cleveland. what about the weekend? we're going to talk about that coming up at 6:45. i love

brian: it yes. brian: the war started in 1861. ronald: yes. your: did i read it in book that does the first time that grant had ever met lincoln? ronald: this was the first time he had ever met him. grant was out in the west. so he had never met grant before. brian: that particular date would have been where in t civil war history? ronald: the troops were in their winter quarters but he brought to grant for the spring campaign. that was started in may. the overland campaign where greg would march into virginia remembering that four times before, then why ms. had marched into virginia and four times before, they had retreated humiliating retreats. brian: how did you put that particular story together? >> i think it says so much about who grant is, the lack of pomposity, the self of basis that he was -- it was part of who he was. the only designation would be the stars. by contrast, i think today's leaders, it says so much about who this man is and why america did not simply admire him. they really loved him. brian: winded ud side after your thr

brian: ok.o you are saying it is wrapped up with the person matteo renzi. federica: yes. that's it. brian: ok. ewald konig, what is your take? is it all about the person renzi, or the issues? the complex issues facing italy? ewald: i think it was a very big mistake to combine the result of the referendum with a personal political future of this politician. many politicians in the past has -- have madede this mistake, and he should have learned his lessons, but i could imagine that one day he will have his comeback. brian: ok. so you think it also has to do with renzi, and a political mistake, not so much as personality. let's hear from the people in italy, and what they said about a referendum that saw a large majority, about 70%, say no to calls for change to the constitution. >> the fact that the no campaign won says an important signal. people have had enough of budget cuts, and enough of the neoliberal policies of renzi's government and those who came before him. >> we won, and that's great.

brian: who supports it? mr. strauss: i believe it is a private foundation but it is lancaster history. it is all tied there. thaddeus stevens also came from lancaster and there are other historic monuments around there. brian: i want to have you tell a story of somebody. this is a non sequitur but the story was so unusual. enough pickles -- daniel fic kles. mr. strauss: that is a great story. what is great about history, of course you interviewed many historians, is we forget it. even people were relatively interested in high school or college know that washington founded the country, jefferson the declaration of independence, lincoln freed the slaves. we forget there is years and years past and things happen, daniel fickles was a congressman from new york but when buchanan was ambassador to england, he was his right-hand man. just before they left, he was in his early 30's, married a 15-year-old woman in washington and got her pregnant and then left to england. going to england, he took a prostitute with them,

brian: many? mr.auss: i don't know how many or what you call many, but he had slaves his whole life. he was francis scott key is father-in-law, so that everybody is sort of connected. you have this discussion before buchanan takes office and say you can just have a decision that southern northerners -- the court was split five southerners and four northerners. so buchanan takes it upon himself to find a northern justice that will go along with this. he finds a guy named roberts, who coincidentally enough went to dickinson college. they have this bond once again. robert says, i will go along with whatever tony does. another northerner from new york says he will write a concurring opinion so it is essentially 7-2. now you can have a decision that might mean something, northerners going along with southerners. the decision comes out two days after inauguration. it is said that on the inaugural platform before the oath that they discussed something. buchanan had distributed a souvenir transcript of his in

brian yes. ronald: aride at the crowded baltimore and ohio railroad station in washington on a cold, crisp morning. brian: the war started in 1861. ronald: yes. brian: did i read it in your book that does the first time that grant had ever met lincoln? ronald: this was the first time he had ever met him. grant was out in the west. so he had never met grant before. they met that evening. brian: and that particular date would have been where in the civil war history? ronald: well, that date the troops were in their winter quarters but he brought grant east for what was expecting the great spring campaign. that was started in may. the overland campaign where grant would marchremembering that four times into virginia before federal armies had marched into virginia and four times before, they had retreated humiliating retreats. brian: how did you put that particular story together? ronald: this is a story that is remembered by son fred and i just think it says so much bout who grant is, the lack of p

we go back over to brian. brian: thank you for that, daniel. we have sports news. international olympic committee has opened disciplinary proceedings against 28 russian athletes after they provided manipulated urine samples. the idea that the state was involved has been rejected by the vladimir putin. >> vladimir putin has not changed his tone on the doping scandal. he made that clear at his end of the year conference. he refuses to accept it was an institutional conspiracy. >> a state-sponsored doping system has ever been created in russia. it is simply not possiblble, and we will l do everythining to mae sure such a system of doping support never exists. reporter: 20 athletes could face a band from the intellectual -- the international olympic committee after giving bad urine samples in 2014. over 1000 russian athletes were involved in concealing positive drdrug tests, they say. putin has promised to work with the anti-doping agency. this can restore faith in the games. brian: the top suspect in the berlin truck attack apparently pledged allegiance to the islamic

this is a fantastic effort by the black knights. >> brian: who won the turnover ttle? the team that won the ballgame. army, three turnovers to four by navy and navy, i thought they could really cause army problems through the air but they couldn't. air force passed for 195 yards versus army. there in army's house. navy could not get that going with zach abey. >> adam: oerm army, they don't for the first time since 2001. >> rick: they took a page from navy, we talked about it in the pregame navy likes to be the boconstrictor, take the ball and play keepaway, over 40 minutes of possession time for army -- they outnavied navy. >> brian: we thought it was possible navy was worn out, first time, you said it during pregame, 1941, they didn't have a bye week going into the ballgame and played in the ago, lost to temple but in the second half they started to show they were the navy of old in the way they got down the field and zach abey a beautiful run by heim. looked like he was going to go down, tacklers were there, but hield not be denied. >> adam: were you surprised based

give us a thumbnail sketch of who brian regan is and how he found himself in this predicament brian regan was a an employee of the air force, joined the air force in 1980. he had grown up with severe dyslexia and as a result, he didn't do very well at school. he was also mocked by his peers, by his friends in the neighborhood not just because of his dyslexia but because of certain corks in his personality which you can read all about in the book. he did pretty well for himself, even though he actually hadto cheat on the test, the military test to get into the air force . he did well enough to be absorbed into air force intelligence as a signals analyst . he did pretty well for 10 to 12 years. he served admirably during the post-gulf war in 1991, he was at the pentagon doing signals analysis to help the armed forces and then in 1995 he came to the national reconnaissance office which is this agency that manages all of the military spy satellites that the us government has but these are multibillion-dollar satellites. they've taken years and years to develop, there's been decades of r and d

brian: absolutely. business roundtable, which i am part of, we are generally in favor of free trade. it gets lost in the job relocation question. charlie: is that wrong? the job relocation question? are the people opposed to tpp right in saying that trade deals hampered jobs and the creation of job loss? brian: to think about trade -- to think about the globalization that has occurred, you can't hold that back. at the end of the day, we have to be competitive as america. there are very defined places where we can win, and we have to get people into those jobs. that's a long time. i can read expert material that says it did not have job loss in manufacturing and expert material that says it did. i'm not sure which to believe. no matter what happens, you have to train people in jobs to be valuable at the price we want people to earn in the united states, which is higher than any place in the world. i think that's were a lot of training and thought process has to go. how do we find competitive jobs in the

honest...no. >> brian: pickles. you like pickles? >> tia: no. >> brian: you either love them or hate them. >> tia: i'm on the hate side. but this baby can't remember. he puts the pickle right in his mouth and screws up his face. looking at his laughing parents, he turns it over and tries again and again. he tried it at least seven times. i think he might like it love it, love it like -- i don't know. >> samantha: he kept going back for more. >> brian: i'm not quite sure. he kept doing it. i don't know. >> tia: adore able. >> samantha: that was cute. let's start off with the radar before. >> brian: adorbs. >> samantha: adorbs. this is very, very light stuff. it will be the trend into the afternoon. wintry mix out east. tomorrow, sunday, we all get in on a mix of rain and snow late in the day. cold all weekend, too. but guys, look at the end of the seven-day. we didn't get to talk about this earlier. 33 on thursday with maybe some >> tia: no, no, no. >> brian: you of course and everyone else will be keeping your eye on that. >> samanth

back to brian for sports. brian: we have some berlin football overshadowed by the events of monday.ere emotional, subdued scenes at the stadium wednesday. just two days after 12 people died in the christmas market attack. a moment of silence accompanied by a light display. it should be repeated in stadiums across germany. in other action on wednesday, the hosts were unbeaten and are a top five team. the other team has the league's worst defense. reporter: they let their guard down. he cut a hapless figure as his defenders froze. his ninth goal of the season. shortly after, he was able to block to keep the score of 1-0. they remained dominant in the second half, easily cutting through the lines but failing to capitalize on their chances. they had looked toothless throughout, but that changed in the 88th minute. he won a crucial point. it was two dropped points, but they still head into the break as the only unbeaten side. brian: a reminder of our cap story. 37 confirmed the fingerprints of tunisian anis amri haven't found on the truck used in the berlin terror attack. investigators a

brian: very good ideas.e you with the details, but let's think about what the stress tests really says. it confirms to society that you take all these banks and you run them in the mountain without any warning at 100 miles an hour and what do they look like with very little building to adjust your business model. that, and the losses for our company come down every year. a good governor on the business model because it is saying you have to assume you almost did things wrong and hold a capital so if you did do them wrong, you took too much credit risk but you have the capital to survive. that is a very good rule because it does give comfort. -- it isg will is integral to figuring out the question of if you take these large enterprises, you have to understand them. if they do hit the shoals, you can take them apart. as a person who spent a lot of time fighting fdic, liquidating institutions and things going back to my first of it being around tanking -- around banking, it is important to know where everything

i'm brian in for melissa. welcome. your traders tonight, brian kelly, karen finerman, david seaburg and guy adami. the strategists who said to buy stocks now says the party might be over. why tony dwyer says stocks are losing their mojo. and could be trouble for the rally and your money. a top technician is here to explain. and later, check out shares of biogen falling after a new ceo. don't worry, that ceo will join us later in the show for an exclusive interview. >>> before we goat to that, though, dow 20,000. sure looked like a sure thing a couple days ago. the past few sessions, stocks have fallen. david seaburg should we dump the donald trump bump? >> we talked about this several times over the past -- >> every day. >> the financials in general, big move up, i get it. will they pull back, a little bit? expect it. in general, the trajectory is higher. we're in a situation right now where you have to make sure that earnings are keeping up with expectations. and we're not going to find that out for some time. i'm tel

we told you about brian yesterday. he was the only dog, the only one not adopted during a huge adoption event weekend. more than 300 other dogs found homes. but not brian. well, tonight he has found a home. courtney griffin has the story. >> he is a good dog. you can just tell he is -- a little bit nervous. trying to learn the ways of the world without eyesight. >> five-year-old brian is mostly blind and his eye sight will only get worse over time. >> he has a progressive retinal right now and sees shadows and shapes a little more so than anything else. >> the arizona humane society held a for day adoption special over the thanksgiving weekend. but brian didn't get so lucky. >> he was the one dog remaining when it was all said and done after 313 pets went home. of course it just broke our hearts. >> today they are pushing for him to get a forever home and they may not have to try so hard. >> i live by myself and no other pets so i'm looking to have a companion, somebody i can tak >> we found benjamin baker waiting outs

"the 11th hour" begins hour in. >>> and good evening once again from our headquarters in new york. tomorrow puts us 29 days from the inauguration of the next president. perhaps because the president-elect has communicated mostly through social media of late, perhaps because he last held a news conference 147 days ago, when he spoke today for all of 74 seconds, responding to reporters' shouted questions outside his home in florida, it made news. so we thought we would begin tonight with all 74 seconds of the president-elect. >> everythin

this was highly unusual this was the worst judgment call that brian could've made. and that's what fascinated me. and i wanted to dig deeper into his life to understand that they would lead him to think in this way that he would out smart and outmaneuver the government after being caught. he tries to out smart and outmaneuver with the government. the chase itself. the letter comes in. how do they build the case against reagan. for a first phase of the investigation was just identifying who this person was and so they looked at the nsa they looked at the cia and by the way the counterintelligence people you read this and you think wow. this is what fascinated me about reagan. and then he would do one thing that would be the end of the thought. back to the chase. started to do audits to see who had access to certain things. as a sample of the intelligence he was given cell he had printed out several documents from intel a link which is the classified internet of the intelligence community and he and excluded 23 or 24 pages about 19 documents in his package that he had

so hardliner in a number of areas, brian, but not all of them.in terms of his confirmation hearings, it's interesting, because he needs more than senate confirmation. you need to be out of uniform for seven years in order to go from serving in the military to secretary of defense. he has been out of uniform for three years. and already senator kirsten gillenbrand saying she's not going to grant a waiver. that could be a little bit of a battle, but she's been widely supportive, so it would be surprising if he didn't get confirmed. certainly a big made for tv moment here tonight, brian. >> kristin, where do we stand? what light can you shed on the secretary of state process. we all saw the romney-trump dinner. we heard romney's comments afterwards. there are reports from what you covered today that people audible to the press were saying no romney out loud, chanting it, during the trump event. and at least one other prominent oil company ceo's name was added into the mix today by this news organization. >> indeed. rex tillerson, a ceo of exxon appa
