brooke? >> i am so sorry for them and all those families and those who still don't know where their loved ones are in mexico. sara sidner, thank you so much for what you're doing there, coming up next, president-elect donald trump has criticized and questioned boeing's government contract to build the new air force one. guess what? moments ago, just who arrived at mar-a-lago to meet with the president-elect? the ceo of boeing. what's that about? we'll take you live to palm beach coming up next. and as trump speaks publicly for the first time since the terror attack in berlin and the american family of a couple being held captive by the taliban responds to seeing a new video of their loved ones begging for help. video with their children we'll share that with you in just a couple minutes. > . >> reporter: the attack in berlin being an attack against christians? >> who said that? when was that said? >> reporter: i believe you said in the a press release. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: so i'm wonderi

brooks: terrific. it sounds like you're going to be pretty busy. do you think you can, in doing that, in fighting against factionalization, you can grow the size of the rsc and bring in a lot of people, factionalization ordinarily occurs when the other side is in the white house and you might be able to bring people together on more of a common theme. do you think growing rsc is the way to do it? mr. walker: i think it is a byproduct of it. it is not my first, instinctive goal. i think that if we do our job, whether it is business, politics, ministry, you do your job and it fluctuates by itself as opposed to artificially trying to get people in. mr. flores: sorry to jump in on this. the rsc is not effective because of its size. it's effective because of the members that it has. and the ideas that they put forth, and how they are willing to advocate for those ideas. not only at home among their constituents but here among their colleagues. here among the outside groups on the media and so forth. so the

>> oh, yeah, brooke. you said it, highly trained highly armed authorities at these areas around the city. it's part of the nypd's counterterrorism units. 500mens of the nypd are part of the units and they hop around the city on a daily basis but when something like this happens they get mobilized to areas that could be of threat. this holiday market behind me one of them. there are about a half dozen around new york city, the german consulate is another example of where you would see those officers standing post but i want to show you. this you can see this nypd vehicle. it's not parked here by happenstance. this is acting as a natural barrier so these open markets aren't as open to any potential threats so these are the things we're seeing as we also see those counterterrorism officers going through these markets talking to vendors, asking them questions, what they should be on the lookout for, talking to people just doing shopping here. and you mentioned that unmarked van. an unmarked van pulled itself

>> top of the hour, i'm brooke baldwin. thank you for being with me. we begin with the hunt for a suspected terrorist as we get breaking news this hour that it wasn't just german authorities who new about amri anis, the u.s. did as well. authorities now dogged by questions over how he was able to arm himself with a truck and carry out one of germany's worst terror attacks while on the radar. his rap sheet is a laundry list of red flags, ties to a terror recruiting network, suspicion of plotting an attack, arson, assault, fraud. and according to investigate i have files obtained by cnn, german authorities not only knew he had contact with pro-isis operatives but that he had "spoken several times" about launching attacks in germany. so now as we said. the hunt is on not just for him but for anyone with who may have helped him slip away. for the latest on this bruise, evan perez is the go to guy, our justice correspondent in washington. when we say this guy was known to u.s. intelligence before the attack, what does that mean? >> brook, it means they put

i was telling bill this is my first visit to brookings.eel i have been here because as a political scientist time forever tuning into c-span and watching brookings panels. it is such an honor to see moderating a panel at brookings. as you can see from the program we have an amazing group of scholars and practitioners who served in four presidencies which in the case of josh olson, bush xli and bush xliii, chris lou, deputy secretary of labor and in the obama administration and elaine came her of the clinton administration. we represent four presidencies and we want to dive right into the subject of today, particularly the title of this panel is first principles. all of you have the amazing experience of being part of a presidency in the first year. some of you long after that as well. we want to start off today with that very intriguing question of how a president-elect goes from being a campaigner to a short window of opportunity of being president-elect and start the first year of his presidency? we will start with you. >> i can say gene

>> yeah, that's what's happening, brooke. it seems as though what the assad government is trying to do not just in aleppo but other places as well is it's trying to besiege the rebels in those major cities, surround them, starve them then offer them the choice, either they can be bombed or leave to this place, idlib province, which they've done with other cities as well so essentially what's going on is that all those rebel fighters and many civilians are being bunched up in that one province while the assad government continues to take back the major cities of syria. it has several reasons why they're doing that. one of them is, of course, they need a lot of forces concentrated in places like aleppo to continue those sieges, to continue those battles, once those rebels and civilians are out they can use those forces in other places. but you're right, you're basically only shifting these people from one war zone to the next. now what they can do in idlib province, the civilians, at least, is they can get to other places, they

brooke? >> you hit on two important points. we'll come back to the influence president-elect trump will have on the fed but thooeheatha, to if the job market is as strong as it is for the fed to feel confident enough to raise their rate, this dreskt ldirectly aff people with credit cards, want to buy homes, cars, how much did this affect them? >> the interest rate didn't go up that much, .25%. it's an increase. however when you're going to see the impact on credit cards is when you start seeing that interest rate go up many times during the year. so now it won't have a huge impact on credit cards however if you are carrying large balances, let's say you're shopping for the holiday season you have those large balances on however many credit cards you will probably then want to make sure those balance s as are pai down because that will increase the interest that you carry over on those cards. >> i say "as we should be" because i haven't started. any hoo, with regard to president trump, i was reading a piece on cnnmoney.com, two

brooks: it is an interesting point. it did not come up as a matter of republican politics during this presidential campaign. is it fair to say to say this is an area where rsc will show was little independence, notwithstanding any other part of where the republican party goes? mr. flores: yes. mark will definitely have is to answer on this as well. we're going to show independence, particularly i think from the president. this is where there is daylight between the president- elect and us. because he wants to spend trillions on infrastructure. he has not talked about -- he says we are not going to touch entitlements. and not touching entitlements damages his ability ultimately to be a successful president. because we're not going to be able to afford national defense, building the virtual wall, the physical wall, whatever it is he wants to do. so we're going to have to have a heart-to-heart with him. i am not being critical, i am just saying we have to sit down and have a rational conversation about this. and the thing

that's the result, brooke, right there.king at a very devastating scene for the people of this town, not just those who lost love ones, they are in mourning. then you have to rest of the town that relied on this as really the place to make a living. pyrotechnics is the main economy here. what you're seeing right now, you see those men walking around in the whiteout fits? that's the forensic team. they've been digging through that area for quite some time. what are they looking for? any evidence as to how this started and also the possibility that there may be more charred remains inside of all of this rubble. this used to be about a football-field-sized area of 300 little stalls, you see the stall there is, th s there, they are made of concrete. they were filled with fireworks, not sparklers, professional-grade fireworks that are explosives, essentially. and they somehow caught fire and it started a chain reaction. this is not the first time this happened here in this market but it's the first time people have died here and

brookings as a publisher. actually brookings was a , publisher before the internet.all publishers, and to quote susan glasser, this is going to be a a golden age for anyone who cares about journalism and access to new ideas on information. this is she wrote before the election started. it's true. it is a golden age. but it is a paradox, because at the same time, everybody has his or her voice. those voices are not necessarily factual. i'm going to sound like an old fuddy-duddy, but i was trained to respect facts. i knew what the rules were. when i was in college, and we went to the same place, if you were a competitor for a place on the harvard crimson, and you made one mistake, you were out. one factual error, that was it. it was very, very serious. now, everybody is a journalist. nobody is really a trained journalist. so, i think that a lot of those problems occur. but it is really sort of the collision of these two things, technology, and the way that we are wired. and by the way, i also want to the good things about the internet is it does correct things, and the

he also said something very interesting, brooke. he said his client might be delusional and that there's something wrong with his perceptions but of reality. you remember yesterday the defense attorney tried to call two mental health experts to the stand but that motion was denied. dylann roof, of course, found competent enough to stand trial. for the prosecution's part, it was an impassioned plea by the federal prosecutor saying that dylann roof needs to be held accountable for every single one of those shots. every single one of the 77 shots fired in that mother emanuel church. he at one point pointed to dylann roof and said "there is hatred in this courtroom" as the image of the bloody bodies inside the church, the worshippers shot and killed allegedly by dylann roof, one juror started to tear up, another noticeably grimaced, there was audible sobs in the courtroom from the victims' family members. i sat directly behind dylann roof's grandmother who was flanked by a priest, she brought a priest into the courtroom and i was watchi

david relates that story. >> i'm going to shame david brooks. he's a well-rewarded author, columnist. he recently gave me a beautiful handsome copy of the hard cover edition of one of bill's books called on the firing line which was he memoir of firing line on the show and autographed by bill buckley to david brooks. i don't know how that happened but david has explaining to do. one last point i would make about bill buckley's mentorship as magazine editor, i'm very grateful to have with us rich lowery, editor in chief of national review and i'm sure he too -- [applause] >> my last question to christopher. unfortunately we are going to -- >> i have to ask two brief questions from the audience. it is often the case at the convention of writing of obituaries that they will be prewritten. that's a factor of the business. is that something that bill buckley will do from time to time? >> yes. >> ah. >> the obituary of eisenhower was written as eisenhower was dying. there were a few plays i really should mention. national review opened up digital arch

even in terms of how the incident occurred, brooke. you go in and murder parishioners who welcome you to pray. there is a major emotional component. but purely on the facts of the case, the deeds he engaged in, the premeditation in terms of bringing the weapon in there, discharging the weapon and killing all of them. >> knowing when the bible study was. allowing him in there for an hour. >> the significance the church held to the african-american community. the defense is trying to spare his life. there is no way he is walking out of there. >> i have you for one more minute. who will we be hearing from? >> i think you'll continue to hear from, as you did yesterday and today, people who arrived at the scene to talk about the carnage that was there. counting bodies. we have one, no. we have two, three and more. i think you will hear from some of the victims in terms of what they witnessed at the scene. i think some family members will say, you know what, my mother didn't come home that day. it will be emotional, compelling and difficult

brookes: ding ding. the doors are opening. mr. brookes: [laughter] mr. cunningham: i have a serious opportunity here to try to make mine halfway up the... mr. cunningham: [laughter] mr. cunningham: i'll continue the real estate metaphor here. we've made a tremendous amount -- tremendous investment and a lot of money in this particular fixer-upper, as scott put it. the fixer-upper is being fixed and it's going to take some time to do it, but you have the opportunity to protect the investment that's been made and to advance it. mr. cunningham: and we have generated to a significant return on that investment. it hasn't been the return that we had hoped, hasn't been 20 percent, but it's 10 percent. that's not bad, and it can get better if we get smarter at it. and by the way, the last thing you should want to have is to have this particular edifice crumble during the first couple of years of your presidency because then your life gets much more difficult. mr. brookes: thank you very much for those thoughts. mr. brookes: please join me in giving the panelists

it's wonderful to have you back here at brookings.hank you for this cooperation. >> it's wonderful to be here. great to see so many familiar faces in the crowds and in the hallways too. this is a home away from home. the first year is real. it is a real calendar driven period of time baked into our constitutional system because of an observation lyndon johnson made which is, you get one year because after the first year congress stops thinking about you as president and starts thinking about their own reelection which comes one year later. and that drives two things in our political transition. first, it drives a domestic agenda. if you want to pass things legislatively, you have to work with the congress, whether that's the president of a different party of the congress or other outsider presidents from one party who have controlled both houses of congress. sometimes succeeded, sometimes struggled. johnson succeeded, jimmy cartercarter struggled in his first year. on the national security side it's a moment to do significant change i

>>> top of the hour, you're watching cnn, i'm brooke baldwin. we begin with breaking news. at any moment now we will be seeing donald trump live up to a major campaign promise as well as his precipitation as a deal maker in chief. note, it is 50 days before he officially places his hand on that bible in washington and becomes the next president of the united states. i'm talking about trump winning back a thousand jobs in indiana that had been on their way to mexico. any minute now trump and his vice president-elect, mike pence, who you will remember as the governor of the great state of indiana, they're scheduled to tour the carrier air conditioning plant in indiana but as trump and pence take a victory lap, taxpayers could lose out and critics including conservatives say trump may be setting a dangerous precedent. a source familiar with the negotiations tells cnn carrier will get $7 million in state incentives and tax breaks over the course of ten years in exchange for keeping those thousand jobs where they are. meantime this carrier tour kicks off a day of celebration for

albert brooks, tweeted, debbie reynolds, a legend and my movie mom.'t believe this happened one day after carrie. and the academy tweeted, anactress, a trail blazer and a hero. >>> moving on, another night of fridge end temperatures, parts of the bay area will be below freezing tonight. here's sandhya patel and live doppler 7. >> i hope you're used to the chill as you take a look from our emryville camera at a festive emryville marina. skies are clear, and that's part of the reason why it's getting chilly in some parts. 44 for san jose. half moon bay, 50s right now. looking here at san francisco, some of the coldest spots, inland valleys. compared to 24 hours ago, as hard as it may seem to believe here, we're running higher. just about everyone running warmer than 24 hours ago. about seven degrees warmer in san francisco and half moon bay. live doppler 7 is showing you the storm track for the time being is going well to the north of us. but that's going to change. we have some cold storms coming our way. if you think it's cold right now, wait until yo

brooks said being president is about what you do in office. gather brooks did not publicly endorse donald trump nor hillary clinton during the election. you may remember a few weeks ago, elton john denied rumor that is he would be performing on inauguration day, by the way, which is january 20th. it will be interesting, that's we've seen lately through the campaign. hillary clinton is pulled in a there have been some of that kind of stayed away donald trump hasn't been the same way. and i think gather brooks did say something that a lot of people maybe should pay attention to. you may not have looked how this ended up election-wise but it you know what? what count is what is done in office. we have yet to see what that will be. it is a holiday season and that means having holiday cocktails >> the grilled oyster com cocktails. >> what are you making? hold on, don't stop yet. right now. >> yummy. we'll have more of that when we >>> winding down the week beginning of the month of to december work week with a holiday themed cocktail >> apparently

>> that's right, brooke. and also to the settlement policy. president obama has long held that the settlements were an impediment to peace. you remember secretary of state john kerry trying to get a peace deal between israelis and palestinians, spent many months doing that and the settlements were issues that held up. for sam power, ambassador power, to say the u.s. wasn't supporting the resolution by abstaining i think -- look, by allowing the resolution to go through it's very significant and a rare -- not unprecedented but rare abandonment of israel at the united states at the united nations. the israelis clearly we've been hearing from the israelis and or ren will talk about that but they see this as an abandonment of a core us tenet to protect israel at the united nations from a body that the administration itself has considered very anti-israel but the reverberations for this and how significant it is are going to go on for a long time, now the international community, the united nations has declared israeli settlements a flagrant violat

brookings is a publisher. actually brookings was a publisher before the internet. we are all publishers, and to quote susan glasser, this is going to be a golden age for anyone who cares about journalism and access to new ideas and information. this is something she wrote before the election started. at its true. it is a golden age but it's a paradox because at the same time it's a golden age of everybody has his or her voice. those voices are not necessarily factual. i've got to say, i'm going to sound like an old fuddy-duddy but i was trained, i was trained to respect facts. i knew what the rules were, and when i was in college and we went to the same place, if you come if you were a competitor for a place on "the harvard crimson" and you made one mistake, you are out here one factual error, that was it. it was very, very serious. now everybody is a journalist. nobody is really a trained journalist. and so i think that a lot of those problems occur. it's sort of the collision to these two things. the technology and the way that we are wired. and by the way, i als

we know why eagles guard brandon brooks has missed two of the last three games.will tell you why next in >>> don's joining us now and this is a mystery, solved. >> yes, mystery solved. >> yes. >> serious issue too. >> yes. eagles guard brandon brooks has missed two of the last three games, reason why has been a mystery until right now. brooks has been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder that causes him to be violently ill for about 24 hours. he is now seeing a psychologist and he is taking medications, but it takes time for medicine to kick in. he believes that the illness has caused him to miss two games while a member of the houston texans. >> i cannot emphasize it enough, it is not nervousness or fear, i love the organization. the organization has been great, they are supporting me with this, the head coach, my position coach, howie, i will make it through, i will be owe kay. nothing i'm ashamed of. >> brooks hopes to play sunday at baltimore and speaking of the ravens joe flacco/carson wentz comparison will be made all week long. first guy from division one do

brookings has the same tools we have at politico are at the "new york times" or buzzfeed. we are all grateful to brookings to putting some of its muscle into thinking about how to publish big thought-provoking ideas in a new world on a new set of platforms. that being said, this is my moment when i finally after 25 years as a digital transformation optimist has sat back down at the table, looked at the class and wondered if i i had been misreading it a little bit. i appreciate strobe are doing the hard work of explaining why the entire conclusion of my essay, which is i'm going to leave trump to washington moved to the middle east is not operative. so yes, i am retracting the conclusion of my essay. i like to say that after three weeks in the middle east with god it all cracked. i fixed it all and we are returning here to washington where the politics is really dysfunctional, you know? jerusalem, you know, very same place in comparison to this place. in all seriousness, it is dizzying and extraordinary what the response and then try to come determine what the role of the m
