eric, if we could turn to you next. you've served in very senior positions in the pentagon and overseas, in the republican administrations. what do you think mitch mcconnell and, i guess, the foreign policy oriented senators are thinking at the moment? are they better than 50-50 chance that they retain control of the senate following the runoffs in georgia on january 5, we need to wait to see, of course, results but if you're looking at it now there is probably a pretty decent chance they remain in control, so they will have control basically of the nomination process, considerable oversight. obviously, legislation to pass, -- they are necessary for any legislation to pass, and it has been a pretty divided election. we've already seen some senators come out and basically back donald trump's theory of the case. what do you think mcconnell and some of the other senators are thinking and this is sort of a -- is there sort of a prospect for cooperation between a biden administration and a republican-controlled senate? >> th

you know, i was fascinated listening to eric and tammy. i think the middle east is going to be the most complicated for the biden administration because i don't think we have an articulation yet of the middle east end state that we'd like to see, right? how much does it matter to the united states that syria is still bleeding, that libya is bleeding, that yemen is a mess, that the gulf can't work together. that israel is aligning with some, but we're not solving as tammy made clear the threats to israel from hezbollah, et cetera. so, i think the question becomes, can you articulate a vision of investment in the middle east, whether it's with regard to syria, iraq, libya, yemen, you know, that is perhaps not the lofty 2011, you know, freedom spring vision, but is nonetheless a consistent investment on the side of stability, on the side of rolling back maligned behavior, whether it's iran, whether it's russia, whether it's saudis, whether it's our ally turkey and bringing major allies to the table around that vision and as eric and tammy hav

eric trump, thank you for joining me now.e are now going to continue the conversation with ohio congressman jim and jordan. all right jim, you have been with the president on the trail and is the energy that we are seeing tonight typical of wherever he goes? >> you see it everywhere. you see it at events even when the president is not there. i think the speaker talked about this and you have these vote parade i've not seen a vote parade and you will have five circles at biden's event and you can only find four people he can't even fill up the circles but when the president has an event or a surrogate for the president you see huge crowds because they know what eric just said, they know this president has done more what he said he would do than any president in our lifetime. he said he would cut taxes and he said he would reduce regulations, he said he would have the best economy in history and we do and the economy is rolling back as we stop at the numbers and he said he would get out and put the embassy in jerusalem and he d

eric: number one, you have to think about your end size. if we were to pick an overweight equity position and build into it over time, if we are going to six or eight basis point over the benchmark, doing so now maybe it worthwhile conversation. we think that there is a likelihood of more covid spread, more risk, and our hearts are with those who passed from that. but our markets looking through that? the other thing to think about in terms of the next leg in trade because that faxing will arrive. that is a forecast that keeps being pushed out further into 2021. i think piecing into it entrenches, thinking about that right now makes some sense, but not feeling you have to be bullied into buying breakouts right now to get to a full position. that is the way we are thinking about it right now. ,onathan: eric, just tremendous allowing us into the conversation this morning. we appreciate it. eric freedman. you've got to compartmentalize different things and work for the sequencing. we've got to get through this risk event. still counting. after

eric, how much worse might this get our exchange? it could get much more worse before it gets better. because if you look at the trajectory, we're at $10000000.00 now, but the $8000000.00 took 20 days. moon took 14 days and it $10000000.00 only took 10 or 11 dates. and at this rate we're averaging 120000 cases a day in the u.s. . we're going to hit $200000.00 cases in the u.s. by the end of this month if this rate continues. which means basically every less, less than a week for another 1000000 and the hospital beds are full and you can add more hospital beds. we can invent more doctors and nurses. so in terms of actual crush, we're hitting their brains where people can't get treated. and just feel sore even through there, and with the winter, not even here yet. i'm really worried because we're going to see a real bad onslaught this winter. so let's talk about this announcement from pfizer . pfizer announced that in this initial phase 3 clinical trial, the results indicate that this vaccine against the corona virus is more than 90 pe

eric stays with us.e will ask you more about bonds, especially the 10 year option yesterday, wished -- auction yesterday, which did not get a ton of demand. >> joe biden uses his first news conference as president-elect to criticize donald trump's refusal to concede election. forward,s he is moving regardless of legal challenges from the republicans and the lack of cooperation from the white house. mr. biden: i just think it is an embarrassment, quite frankly. how can ihing that, say this? -- say this tactfully? i think it will not help the president's legacy. >> the u.k. is planning sweeping new powers to intervene in foreign takeovers it deems a threat to national security. it includes retroactive action on deals that complete after the bill's publication. that is a controversial provision. the u.k. says it is in line with similar rules in france, italy, germany. hong kong has removed 4 opposition lawmakers due to new rules from beijing. china has passed a measure requiring politicians in the city to b

eric tackled it masterfully. despite this topic being so huge he was able to put it in the book that you can actually hold in your hand. and it's a lovely book, as i have said. so i'm really looking forward to having this conversation with eric today. and so i want to start by asking eric, why did you decide to write this book on hurricanes? why did you decide to take on this new topic and undoubtedly torture yourself on some level? level to figure out how to bring it into something, this huge topic into a manageable one. >> well, i had long thought about writing a book about hurricanes, but the problem was i wanted to write about a particular hurricane. the two hurricanes as most interested in with the galveston hurricane of 1900, and the great hurricane of 1938 which it long island and new england were happened to live. but there was a problem. both of those hurricanes had only had quite a few really good books written about them. so i put the idea aside. i went on to write black flags, blue waters and then cam

but one triathlete eric byrnes, who swam, biked and ran his way across the united states, he decidedouldn't stop people from staying fit and active. and so he's helped set up a "virtual" triathlon which will feature hundreds of teams to mirror his epic trip. jane dougall reports. eric byrnes starred for the oakland athletics and arizona diamondbacks in a ten—year major league baseball career, but has never rested on his laurels. his concern at an impending health crisis caused by inactive children and increased screen time led him to achieve the almost unthinkable, his own personal triathlon across the united states in 56 days. my wife and i decided to start this foundation, and we've always wanted to take this trip across the country. what if i swam, biked and ran across the country and then we use that as a way to bring awareness to the let them play foundation and raise funds, and as we go across the country, hand—out grants as we go into these local communities? 2020 was supposed to be a golden year for triathlon. the tokyo olympics and paralympics were set to welcome the world,
