david brooks: yes. event was a hippie event but they were in some sense 1950's intellectuals, culturally conservative, politically kind of liberal but centrist realistic cold war democrats. they objected to the vietnam war and worked for ed koch. i overdraw how left-wing they were in that vignette. brian lamb: they cared about money, and in that story, you care about money more than they do. david brooks: that is a good question. my father was a professor and my mother was a professor and then worked with pharmaceutical companies and i do not think anyone would say they were materialistic. we had a ton of books at home. there is a saying, it takes three generations to make a career. my grandfather on my mother's side was a lawyer but a great writer. my parents were professors of reading. that helped nurture me in writing. i think that is true if you are a plumber or a policeman or whatever. i was fortunate to know what i wanted to do at age seven, at age seven i decided i wanted to be a writer, and it i

david brooks: no. brian lamb: did you know it happened? david brooks: no.always moving to the next column, i do not have time to cover. i am amazingly oblivious. brian lamb: let me ask you, as i was doing research i kept running into the story, is david brooks divorced or not? gawker did a piece. david brooks: i am divorced. i do not want to legally talk about it but i am divorced. brian lamb: you had written you were against divorce. david brooks: i have written pro-marriage and i do believe in marriage and mine did not work out and i desperately want to get married again to somebody. i totally believe in marriage. one thing i read in general about marriage is that it is the most important decision in your life. i finished a book yesterday, i hit the send button yesterday. the name of the book is "the road to character." 10 people that have led impressive inner moral lives. people ranging from george c. marshall to dorothy day to samuel johnson. they all had a great sense of their own weakness. when we think of the outside world, success is a struggle agai

i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. thank you so much for being with us me. i want to start this hour with the heartbreaking news that an american hostage held by isis is dead. in one final and disgusting act, 26-year-old kayla mueller's family received a private message from isis with a chilling attachment pictures showing the body of this young aid worker who gave her life to help others. >> i am in solidarity with the syrian people. i reject the brutality and killing of the syrian authorities committed against the syrian people. >> kayla in her own words there. here's what we still don't know. we do not know how she died. the absence of any kind of brutal torture video would suggest that isis is still sticking to its script that kayla mueller was killed last week in a jordanian air strike on this building. it's a claim jordan vehemently denies calling it total propaganda. regardless of her manner of death, the u.s. is clear on one thing. isis is responsible. >> there's no evidence of civilians in

i'm brook baldwin. for months united states has been pushing for nations to leave the fight with isis. egypt's president calling for united air force. its mission, a mass joint military force, crush isis and stop the threat that's festering across the region. president in egypt says he has commitments from jordan to send in troops. the details are skrars and there's a lot of questions how to force would operate. let's go to ian. egypts president didn't say what he meant by the united arab force and whether he means troops on the ground. you listened to the speech. what did you hear? >> reporter: well brook, he was addressing the nation and he first started off with the isis threat to egypt and this is a country that's facing it on two fronts on the east and the cyanide peninsula and the west as well. he did bring up this idea for united arab force. take a listen. >> this is a stance that we see a unified arab force together. we see it is now and necessary an important and necessary because the challenge

he was a man by the name of preston brooks. brooks did not take kindly to this. he did not hear the speech, but he read about it and thought this was a problem. so, he decided to confront sumner. sumner, completely unwittingly avoided brooks for some time. it just happened that they passed each other at times where brooks couldn't go to speak to him and after a couple days of this, brooks got very angry. he waited for sumner at the back of the senate and he went up to them once the galleries were clear and struck him over the head with his cane more than 30 times. sumner fell into the eye away -- isl senate and had to leave the senate for some months to recover. so, this is a story that had long been told i sent him to proved how divisive washington was and certainly it became divisive outside of washington. it became divisive in the north and in the south. but if we look more closely at washington in this period, we can see it as part of a larger culture of violence and vice in the capital that was not so shocking to the people who lived at that time. it was par

>> that's right brooke. williams and the nbc crew was not on any of the three chinooks in the company that was hit. they were actually traveling many the second company in the opposite direction towards kuwait when that attack occurred. typically they would travel about an hour behind the other company when they're doing these supply runs. they happened to pass though in the desert with one going south and one going north. so geographically they were close. it was clear that brian williams' chinook was not following the chinook hit by the rpg in other company. >> travis stand by. what's really key here is how veterans are responding to brian williams' apology. brian, let me turn to you. you have spoken to the pilot of the chinook which brian williams and his camera men were in. how did he recount the event? >>> he tells a different story this. pilot says that the three choppers that they were with this company of helicopters, did come under small arms fire and did -- was struck by one rpg but the helicopter

brooke? >> i want to stay on this. jomana karadsheh, thank you. this particular video of these egyptian christians being murdered, this wasn't staged in the battlefields of iraq or in syria. this was on a mediterranean beach in libya. this is proof that isis is gaining more footholds outside of those two countries that you see on your screen in red. they are emerging in algeria, libya, in yemen and egypt, afghanistan and pakistan. let's talk about this with bob sexton former counterterrorism analyst. welcome to both of you. buck we've talked about now the tent tentacles of isis just across the mediterranean sea in europe. >> what we're seeing here is a strategy that hasn't gotten much consideration from the west but it's what isis is up to just trying to expand its main operations of iraq and syria. they call themselves the islamic state. they want more. they want to set up these affiliates across the middle east and now the strongest ones in egypt. this is part of the other strategy. even if

i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. we begin with breaking news. just an absolute stomach-churning barbaric piece of video that's just been posted online by isis supporters. this jordanian pilot captured by isis when his jet went down and thrust into the center of hostage trade talks appears to have been burned alive while trapped in a cage. it is incredibly difficult to imagine a more brutal murder than a beheading with a dull knife, but this video shows isis may have found a new and even more disgusting way to kill. let me be 100% transparent here. cnn has decided we will absolutely not show any of these appalling pictures out of the respect for the families and to avoid showcasing this brutal isis propaganda. but i will tell you, i have chosen not to watch this video. i have several colleagues who have watched it, who have described to me exactly what they've seen. they say it is extremely, highly produced very sophisticated. you see this pilot first speaking into the camera. he's then walked in

newsroom with brooke baldwin starts nowment >>> here we go. this is cnn. i'm brooke baldwin. thank you very much for being me. we have new information that syrian rebels could start calling the shots in the war against isis. the united states planning to give some moderate rebels the ability to call in u.s. air strikes using gps from down on the ground. this is not exactly expected to sit well with lawmakers who were against arm aing rebel s in the first place in the civil war. concern that not enough is known. just a lack of intel here with regard to the rebel fighters their backgrounds. now with isis extending the reach here we keep showing you the map. the geography is key the in the story. the stakes are higher and the u.s. needs help in syria. the u.s. military is already doing it with the kurdish fighters in iraq. it seems to be working. just today an isis advance in northern iraq came to a screeching halt near the town of irbil. kurdish fighters fought back the militants calling in u.s. air strikes to finish the job. bob mcfadden, senior vice president of the soofan gr

i'm brooke baldwin. right now isis terrorists are a few short miles away from hundreds of u.s. troops. american warplanes have been spotted flying over this iraqi town that is now under control of isis. they have stormed al baghdadi with rocket launchers and mortars waking up sleeping cells within the town of ramadi to help them carry out these series of attacks includingeing rahmani. it's a base home to some 320 americans who are there training iraqi forces well within range of isis rockets. and cnn has now confirmed they believe most if not all of the isis militants were wearing iraqi uniforms. this just coming in today from the pentagon. so let's go straight to cnn's phil black. you're saying security forces have been called in. tell me why? >> reporter: clearly they're under pressure brooke i don't think there's any doubt about that. the attack of al baghdadi puts significant pressure on local security forces. in terms of the air base the pentagon says it was successful. the iraqi forces dealt with i

i'm brooke baldwin. here's where we begin with this claim by isis days after the terrorist released the video showing one of their hostages the jordanian pilot, being burned alive in the cage. the news now that isis is saying 26-year-old kayla mueller, the american aidworker, they were holding hostage has been killed. here's the thing. they're saying it wasn't by their own terrorist hands. they say this was by the hands of jordan. isis is claiming this happened in syria in the jordanian air strike on the isis strong hold on the city of raqqa. all of this is aftermath of the rubble where the woman was buried. let me be crystal clear here. there's zero proof of this and huge dose of skepticism. jordan saying this from the interior minister. >> they tried to cause problems and haven't succeeded. they are now trying to drive a wedge between the coalition with the latest low pr stunt. >> i cannot confirm those reports in any way. obviously people are looking into them but cannot confirm them. >> do you know i

i'm brooke baldwin you're watching cnn. as the threat of isis spreads from iraq and syria to across the middle east and now north africa here in the united states the white house is focused on one very specific issue, what it calls violent extremism. and if there were any doubt about this being a major priority right now, well president obama has just given his second speech on this very subject in 24 hours. speaking to officials for more than 60 countries at this white house summit the one message that he was sure to take crystal clear was this that the united states is not at war with islam. the other, that the world needs to do more to battle the roots of extremism, starting with addressing one huge issue in the country's officer tile for extremism, poverty. >> when people especially young people feel entirely trapped in impoverished communities, where there is no order and no path for advancement, where there are no educational opportunities, where there are no ways to support families and no escape from injustice and t

i'm brooke baldwin. we have to look at what's an incredibly dangerous situation of some 320 troops based in iraq. isis has activated sleeper cells inside of the town baghdadi and just in the last couple of hours this strategic move has helped them take over 90% of this town. 90%. why is this so disturbing other than that number? i want you to take a look at the map here and you can see the sheer proximity here. this town is just about nine miles from this air base there on the left side of your screen. that air base is home to some 320 americans who are there training iraqi military pilots and the u.s. says it has no plans to evacuate them. this huge strategic gain as the pentagon admits isis is now getting a foot hold beyond iraq beyond syria. libya, yemen, pakistan and afghanistan now seeing a rise in isis militants. the reason? deflections by the taliban. they realize flying under the black flag of isis will get them more money and more recruits. let's go straight to phil black who's in northern iraq

i'm brooke baldwin.is our special coverage of this woman, kayla mueller, 26 years of age, held by isis. she was doing aid work in syria. i've seen her on video saying she was standing with the syrian people when taken hostage by this the terror group. isis is claiming kayla was killed in this bombed out building. this is their claim that this happened because of jordanian air strikes. meanwhile, jordan's government is saying this is all a pr stunt by a terror group. this should not be touched. let's talk to chair of contemporary middle east the did i did -- east studies. wonderful having you back on. you say you don't believe a word isis says. >> not even a single word. isis has no credibility. isis has not given us any evidence that it behaves in any kind of humane way. i don't buy their narrative. i don't even traffic with that narrative. first of all the question is not basically who killed this 23-year-old aid worker who went to syria to help the syrian people. they basically kidnapped her in august

brooks of indiana and mr. payne of new jersey for sponsoring the social media working group act of 2015, which addresses an emerging and important topic in emergency management. more and more we are seeing social media, especially youtube and facebook in preparing responses in emergency situations. in the past few years, social media has become a valuable tool that has been used by emergency managers at all levels to warn those in harm's way of impending natural disasters. and i might add that the same could occur in terrorist disasters. moreover, it has been used to inform survivors of how to access disaster assistance and tips for a speedier recovery. equally important, social media has been used to coordinate and manage assistance from nonprofits and volunteers who want to help in recovery efforts, but it is not just emergency managers who use social media regarding emergencies. individuals have used social media to help identify locations where assistance may still be needed and to raise awareness of impen

it's brooke. quick question just tell me about the conversation you just had with the spokesperson for the pd. >> reporter: sure. basically what we heard from the officer is that for certain the person that we have been watching the person that is inside of that house where they are trying to get him to come out with his hands up that person was involved in the homicide of mrs. meyers. now, they're not saying whether or not because i tried to clarify whether or not he was the shooter because, remember there were three people in the car according to police when this soogt went down but he said in very clear terms that he was involved in the homicide it gives you some sense that it could be the shooter. he would not confirm that outright but certainly the emotions are high here. i can tell you one more thing, we did just see the mother of the man who was inside the police are hoping will come out with his hands up and that there won't be any kind of violence beyond just trying to put him in handcuff

brooks. >> public speaker: yes, eric brooks again. first of all speaking strongly in favor of this motion. there is still a budget left crucial. i know the history of this that the relation between the sf puc and the lack of moving this is crucial. this mou needs to continue. now i want to get to the specific work that needs to be covered by one or both agencies. either one or both agencies and that is the enernex report is great. the plan that it lays out or the framework that it lays out is excellent and itd would be great if we passed that. however, i was quoted in the examiner today and other people were spoken to about that examiner about cleanpowersf and we need to make sure that we not only make this program great but spectacular and make it serve local workers and local union workers and local communities of opportunity and community of color that need work. the way we do that is to do the one thing the enernex report was not able to do because the data isn't there yet. we need to set the rates first and get to the process of

i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. isis snapping incredible pictures of the moment u.s. warplanes pound this weapons facile isty in a factory used to make car bombs. these are pictures of syria and the unprecedented wave of isis bombing targets. these pictures show jordan dropping bombs, making good on their king's vow of vengeance for the burning alive of that young captured jordanian fighter pilot. today the king abdullah paid respects to the dead pilot's father. he also did something unorthodox. ordered his warplanes to fly over the pilot's # hometown after the bombing run. jordan says this is the muslim's war now. daesh is used an acronym for isis. here he was. >> this is the muslim war. this is the arab's war. daesh is in the front of jordan and putting threats to saudi arabia and to kuwait and other gulf countries as well as iraq and syria of course. so it is logical for all of us to say and understand and accept this is our war, especially that daesh is committing this war on the name of isl
