charles: courtney?at i found pretty fascinating with earnings season is, i agree, it's been a really good earnings season thus far. but if you really dig into it, certain things like your small caps have been some of your leaders and the things that are beating expectations as well as some of your cyclicals. and we've been talking a lot about this over the last few months, your small caps and value companies are going to be good plays. we're starting to see that come out during earnings season, but if you break it out, those are really some of the big winners we're seeing. charles: even to that point, when you're talking about record covid cases, courtney, you and greg have expressed this as the number one concern, and yet the covid stocks even in the day when the markets are erupting, they're down, zoom, netflix, peloton, they're getting beat up. the market, to me, doesn't seem to say this is a big issue, per se, although we know how impactful it is to society. rob, let me go back to you about earnings

courtney, good morning to you.at nbc reported about esper's -- reported on esper's prepared resignation letter before this firing officially came down. let's talk about the implications of this. i mean, the president only has a couple months left in office. clearly, he wanted to voice his displeasure with esper, but there are some people who are raising concerns that there might be something more nefarious going on here. what's your take on why this happened and what the impact is? >> yeah, that's right. so, the reality is, secretary esper for months now was believed to be one of the first cabinet secretaries who would be fired after the election, whether president trump was re-elected or not. there were people saying as much as he'll probably be fired or forced to resign the wednesday after the election. what changed was the fact that we didn't have results the wednesday after, so all of last week, there was sort of this tentative waiting -- is he going to get fired? is he going to be forced to resign? but the fac

courtney, white house correspondent for "usa today" and philip wegmann, white house report of a realar politics. philip, you were in the room with the president during that session. what's your biggest takeaway from that? >> well, we haven't heard president trump hold forth like that for about three weeks, but what we saw in the diplomatic room is really a continuation and an escalation of what we heard from him on election night. he still insists that he won the election. he made widespread allegations about voter fraud though he didn't offer any new evidence, and he even called into question whether or not if the electoral college was to certify the election for biden, if they would have made a mistake. he clearly is sticking with his case, and he was energetic, he was more than happy to go back and forth with reporters and i imagine he's going to continue to do so up until inauguration day. >> mike: hugo, your thoughts? >> i think it's very interesting but although he was very, very aggressive, he stuck to his guns. he talked as though he believed everything he said about election

i mean, i think today is a really good reminder, and josh and courtney mentioned this, that there's another play book that people have that they stuck in their drawer on investing, which is once we get through covid and we can see the againing of the end through therapeutic, vaccines, there is a strong cyclical recovery that will take root everyone's been frozing but everyone figured out solutions so there's tons of operating leverage i think this is only maybe a one quarter, even a tenth of a step in what kind of move we can see once the economy gets moving it's a great center for epicenter stocks but i think it's only a baby step in front of what could be a much larger move >> brian, as i laid out, the market was already feeling pretty good about the political climate it had found itself in, however unexpected to some no blue wave there's a runoff in january in the senate but certainly no blue wave the market got behind the idea that a biden presidency, a split congress, will be pretty darn good for investors >> thanks for having us. it harkens back to 1995, 1996 and more recently 2019 i

with me now, pentagon correspondent, courtney kube.t is the mood right now at the pentagon amid these staffing changes? >> so, alicia, there is a lot of concern. i mean, look, the pentagon, probably more than any other building, i would say, in d.c. or any other institution in this government is used to transition. you have military members there, who tend to only serve for two to three years. they're used to changing jobs, and moving around a lot. but what's concerning about this is just the timing. so, we had secretary of defense, mark esper, fired. a surprising -- it wasn't a surprise that he was going to be fired. but the manner in which it's done and the exact timing of it was a surprise to him and senior leaders in the building. that was only about 48 hours after most news networks declared that joe biden was the president-elect. then, within about 48 hours of that, we saw a number of other, higher-level, pentagon civilians resign. some, expected. like, retired admiral joe kernen. but being replaced by trump loyalists, and that's

moini i joining me now is courtney cuby. saying it will only hurt us not help us.hat into context with what you just heard at dod. >> that really wraps up what the two main headlines are today. one is that dod has basically moved the goalpost for withdrawal. for months, for years we've been hearing any withdrawal from afghanistan would always be conditions-based. one of the major conditions was the taliban reducing the violence on the ground in afghanistan. that has not happened. senior defense officials, military leaders have said consistently the taliban have not reduced the taliban to a level that they can further draw down. we're hearing from senior defense officials and acting secretary miller that it's more about making sure the u.s. can still protect americans and protect afghans so we can reduce down to 2,500 versus the 4,500. the other big headline today is exactly what we heard from mitch mcconnell. the reality is, president trump and senior leaders in this administration have made it clear they want a draw down to zero in afghanistan. when faced with the

. >> well, as you know, there's not been a single courtney where courtney where that has granted one of the trump lawsuits to that extent. i believe mark elias who is a progressive lawyer keeping track of it says the trump campaign is one for 25, and the one case they one was a minor technicality that doesn't affect anything. i can't believe any court is going to not certify the elections on the basis of the evidence that's been produced, the evidence that's been produced has been speculative. it has been circumstantial at best and does not reach the question of was an election decided by illicit means. i can't imagine any court is actually going to step in and hold up certification on the basis of the weak and unsupported claims that are being made before them. >> all right. henry olson, someone i have followed for a long time, argued with on twitter and whose honesty on this point i respect and appreciate. thank you for coming on. >> thank you, chris. >>> one thing to always keep in mind with donald trump is that no matter what he is doing there is always a grift involved. right no

joining us now is courtney kube. so what is the mood inside the ring right now, and how concerned are they that this stuff, while it looks like it may be just grudge grievances of the last two months, is a bit more nefarious than that? >> so that's the big question right now. one thing i was really struck by, after yesterday's surprise tweet at the pentagon was how senior defense officials were desperately trying to reinforce the fact that this was a smooth transition. secretary esper was immediately terminated and his successor, acting secretary of defense now chris miller was immediately brought in. that there was no break in the rule there at the pentagon in the leadership of the pentagon. when the acting secretary came in, he immediately started getting spun up on current operations. he got the nuclear codes, probably some sobering briefings to get ready to take over the job. but the undercurrent is a question of y now? it's not a surprise that president trump, he and secretary esper have been clashing for months

let's get more from national security correspondent courtney kube.orted esper was already preparing his resignation letter. what are your sources telling you about why the president made this decision now? >> that's really the big question here, chris. why now? the timing. so back up to before the election. there was widespread belief secretary esper was likely to either be fired or asked to resign right after the election. soon after the elections. people were even talking about wednesday of last week. then we had a situation where we didn't have election results for several days and we're still now in a situation where president trump hasn't actually conceded that he's lost the election. because of that, defense and pentagon officials last week and into this week were saying, well, we think he might actually -- that the president might not actually ask secretary esper to leave until there really say result that the president has accepted. then, of course, we had the surprise tweet monday. we know it surprised secretary esper. he got a call from whi
