>> well, brook, they hope to.f optimism about it, but there is still plenty of skepticism as well that this may all work out. still, it is a hint that there could be a breakthrough in the end trying to end america's longest wear, the 18-year war in afghanistan. we know that the negotiations with the taliban seem to be headed in the right direction, and earlier today afghan president ghani tweeted saying, commenting on twitter he said that secretary of state mike pompeo had brought him a, quote, significant and enduring reduction in violence taliban proposal, a reduction in violence now being proposed by the taliban. it could be announced formally this week by the united states, and if this reduction in violence works over the coming days, this could then lead to a peace agreement. so why not huge optimism about this? look, the taliban leadership they're negotiating with, may not be able to control the thousands of taliban fighters and loyalists across afghanistan. this is a group that is very diverse, that has loo

service members. >> thank, you miss brooks. thank you for your testimony. it is jarring, to say the very least and is a very important wake up call for all of us. you offered a number of recommendations. i would like to discuss lieutenant hassan to the extent that we can -- there is public information. what -- was their social media -- may benefit asked this in the next panel, let me ask you this. we've got the dark web, so individuals can gravitate to the dark web to engage in their social media if they are so inclined. how would you recommend that the military do the kind of monitoring that is necessary? doctor? >> honestly,, often times to find social media accounts you don't have to go into supersecret areas to find them, it is material that tends to be on everything from facebook accounts, twitter account, or in places like 4chan which are surgical, which is not to say there are not areas of the web that are hidden and hard to get to you to find this information, but people are shockingly open about their extremist views and it is the kind of material

i am brooke baldwin. president trump has been able to keep his job after the impeachment and he has made sure others in the administration have not. chuck schumer is asking all of the nation's inspector generals to investigate. the president fired two witnesses that provided arguably the most pivotal testimony in the impeachment inquiry, lieutenant colonel vindman and gordon sondland, and also fired was lieutenant colonel vindman's brother, and the letter from schumer says this. retired general peter was in russia. you have spoken to the lieutenant colonel since he was ousted. can you share some of that conversation with me? >> very simply, i was his boss in moscow for a difficult time for two years, and i know alex and have known him for a long time and we do not routinely speak because of way life is, and these were -- i spoke to him probably three times in the last three months by phone, and usually after, if you will, an assault on his character. these are what i would call a morale support and not an

brooks said. you know, we work with a lot of boards and commissions around the region, to do a lot of work at the bay area quality management district. and, you know, we hear a lot about 2030 goals and we've been talking about 2030 goals for a long time now. now we have officially entered the period where 2030 is one 10-year capital plan away. we're talking by 2030, combustion engines need to x, y and z. and by 2030 we need to stop our use of fossil fuels or emissions from fossil fuels. we have how many e.v.s will be on the road and so many different plans for 2030. and we've been kicking the can down the road for so long and we're now at the point where we're literally one 10-year capital plan away from this huge milestone. these things are going to take time, putting together a buildout plan that is comprehensive and systematic and then implementing that, probably going to take over 10 years. so where are we going to be by 2030? so i think that the democratic policy of this city and county expec

brooke: it was not great all the way around. the fourth-quarter came in weaker than expected, and they called out unexpected softness in the weeks leading up to christmas, which is not what you want to hear from a major retailer. that is in line with what we've heard from a number of different companies that are not named amazon, which raises a lot of interesting questions about what the competitive landscape actually looks like. also weighing on investors' is the 2021 fiscal outlook, which was also weaker than expected on sales and profits. alix: the stock rating is heavy here in premarket. the bad news baked in. is that is why -- is that why you have a buy rating here? chuck: we've had a buy rating for a while, not just here on the fourth-quarter. the comp was no worse than 2020,, and the eps guide if you back out the miss in the quarter, implies low to mid-single digit roast, basically in line with -- mid single-digit growth, basically in line with what investors expected. their e-commerce business grew 35% year-over-year, be

and david brooks., let's pick up where lisa left off. the people she's talking to are saying this is a state that joe biden has to win. mark: i see it the way lisa does. the title fight is down to tom steyer and bernie sanders and joe biden. joe biden appears to be in good shape. he was helped by the endorsement of jim clyburn, the dean of the south carolina docrats. no democrat has carried south carolina in the last 11 presidential elections. no democrat has been elected to the senatein from south car in this century. but clyburn endorsing biden, digits, we have established that winning isomg first. if joe biden wins by eight points, is that a disappntment? right now itkoes l good for him and he needs it desperately because he has skeleton campaignst and the r the super tuesday states. david: i was thinking0. in the polls it is around 13 or so. if he has aint win, he can stay afloat. there is a logic to think he can be the one. if he doesn't do that well, i don't really see the logic for a biting can

brook, we'll send it back to you. >> we'll take it. thank you. as officials in california try to find who that patient may have come in contact with, this whistle-blower over at the department of health and human services is sounding the alarm about another incident of possible exposure. this federal employee is claiming more than a dozen workers who assisted in evacuating those first americans who they brought out of wuhan, china, they were sent into quarantined areas, quote, without personal protective equipment, training, or experience in managing public health emergencies, safe tri protocols, and the potential danger to both themselves and members of the public they come into contact with. dr. irwin redlenner is the director of the national center for disaster preparedness at columbia university. thank you so much for being here. i've got a lot of questions for you. let's just begin with this whistle-blower account. >> yeah. >> how concerning is that? >> it's very concerning, and if it's true it's completely inexcusable, and it's a matter of

reasons i went undercover in brook house in the first place for panorama in 2017.cular those who appeared to be just as british as you and me. we are talking about people who had beenin are talking about people who had been in this country for as long as they could remember, as you say, people who grew up here, were educated here, have families here, who had committed crimes here but had served their time here as well. there was this notion of the double punishment that i think really troubled staff and they found particularly difficult. there is just another thing i would say. that is... this chartered flight to jamaica has had a lot of media attention and that is because there has been a protest and condemnation from mps and so on. but these charter flights are going to nigeria, they are going to india, they are going to pakistan. this isn't the first chartered flight and it won't be the last. thank you very much. such insight. thank you. so the flight landed last night. what happens to the men now? drjaslin salmon runs the jamaican national organisation of depor

but i'm still gonna point out that brooke is the one who attacked my marriage. she ordered you to kick me to the curb. i had no choice. i had to defend myself for what we have with each other. i had to strike back. [ sighs ]

and i'm gonna make sure that eric sees it. >> quinn: brooke, i don't wanna go to war with you. >> brooke: well, you should've thought of that before you installed your cheap trick of a bestie, shauna, into eric's guesthouse and then aimed her at my husband. >> quinn: you can't take any responsibility for yourself. i'm not the reason that ridge was attracted to shauna. you are. us

arthur brooks, the title was "love thy enemy."gave a compelling speech how christ calls us not to civility and tolerance but to genuinely open our hearts to and open those that are our opponents that persecute us, our enemies in a real sense. it was a funny speech, a challenging speech and uplifting speech. obviously both speaker pelosi and president trump were in the room and at the dais with him as were dozens of house and congress. one of the things i was proud of about his remarks and how the republican and democratic member of the house who co-chair the house prayer breakfast about their remarks is that they showed to our guests at the prayer breakfast today who represent more than 100 countries from around the world the best of how we are at times able to rise above our differences here in congress and in the united states. >> martha: let's listen to the president today. hot off of his acquittal, which obviously he's very relieved and happy about. here's what he had to say at the breakfast this morning. >> i don't like peopl
