take the hartford insurance group, known by most people as the hartford.er in property and casualty insurance, group benefits, mutual funds, but a whole lot of other stuff. here's a stock that ran from 19 at the covid lows, all the way to near 125 last november. it's pulled back to 113. i like this level. this company has nearly doubled its earnings per share over the past five years, but with interest rates expected to come down this year, can the stock keep climbing? is that really the metric? last week, the hartford reported what i thought was an excellent quarter with a big earnings beat thanks to lower than expected catastrophic losses. however, the company had a larger than expected reserve charge that spooked investors sent the stock down 2% the next day. i always think reserve charge is a great way to judge whether somebody is being prudent, and today the hartford rang the closing bell here at the new york stock exchange, celebrating a fresh brand with a modernized version of the iconic stag logo. and i think this business is very strong. don't tak

they came to hartford, connecticut, bloomfield, connecticut, actually, of all places, with nothing.rk seven days a week, 12 to 15 hours a day. they worked themselves sick. so that i would have every opportunity in this country. and if they didn't know that when i was born in hartford, that i would be an american by right of my birth on american soil, they wouldn't have been able to put everything they had into me and my sisters and sign a lease and open a chinese restaurant and build a business and put everything they had into our education. this is true for so many millions of americans, not just in the past, not last year, not ten years ago. right now. that's what gives me hope, frankly, because this is still happening across this country. immigrant children are given a chance because this place america gives us, gives us the best opportunity. and our parents knew that. this country knows that. you know, who knew that? ronald reagan knew that. and he gave a famous speech about birthright citizenship and how he understood it to be part of our essential character as a nation. >> gen

a judge has denied the move, to move the trial out of hartford county. he wanted it to be moved because he says, you know, he's the subject of nationwide hatred. and vilification. so what's your message here? >> my message is that i actually can't comment because it hasn't gone to trial. rachel: okay. >> and so i'm -- rachel: i understand that. let me ask you -- no problem. donald trump has so far, that we know of, deported around 7,000 hard aened criminals from this country since he took office just a few weeks ago. what are your thoughts on that? >> i am so happy with the progress. one, keeping his word. who two -- two, he's putting american safety first. three, he's doing something9 that the biden-harris administration could have done. they could have prevented it four years ago. but in the meantime, the biden-harris administration could have been refusing these people if they had obeyed the laws that were on the books. so i am so grateful for the men and women that he's appointed, tom homan and kristi noem if. i think they're going to do a phenomenal

nbc's maya eaglin is in west hartford, correct cut, with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, joe. yeah, we are here where about 2 or 3 inches of snow fell overnight, but crews are working to really clear this stuff from the roads. take a look, it's kind of powdery, not ready yet for snowballs but we have a little bit of a wintry mix still coming down from the sky. we spoke to the connecticut state police to give some folks some tips about how to stay safe during this winter weather. they say charge all your devices, only drive if it's an emergency and keep your head lights on at all times if you do hit the roads. also make sure you stay away from the emergency crews who are working to clear the streets for eve everyone. here is where the snow is right now, joe, there is a little wintry weather still happening around the country. it's done in new york city but in portld, burlington they are still getting some snow and expected to be a lake effect later this afternoon. most of the snow should be pushed out later today as low pressure con

there were protests today at hartford, connecticut. protests today in baton rouge, louisiana. protests today in montpelier, vermont. protests today at tallahassee. the state capitol in florida. protests also in tampa. large protests in tampa. protests today in salem, oregon. and protests today in atlanta, georgia. and i could go on. but you know what? i know i missed a bunch, but i think you're getting the flavor here. there were protests absolutely all over the country today. two and a half weeks into this new administration, protests against the destruction, the destruction of the federal government. protests against what appears to be the illegal mass firing of government officials and shutdown of government agencies that they are not, by law, allowed to shut down. red hot anger at these protests today about the president allowing his top campaign donor to access the sensitive personal and financial and apparently now health related information about all american citizens that is held in government computer systems. him handing that information over to his top campaign dono

but, you know, the folks who live with me in the south end of hartford, it's their kids who sign up for military service. they'll be sent overseas to fight the wars that will be caused by the growing instability. the question is, why are they doing this? because, as you said, jim, it used to be that there was no controversy over usaid. it was just smart for us to spend money around the world to try to combat terrorists in china and russia. i think some of this agenda is pretty simple. the biggest beneficiary of usaid disappearing is china, because china now doesn't have anybody contesting their nonmilitary influence around the world. elon musk has huge business interests in china. he sells more cars in china than any country except for the united states. he makes half his cars in china. he's got big issues that are open with the chinese government. and that last point is a point you'll hear from proponents of usaid is who fills that space. right. and of course, they say china. and this does not come from nowhere, because the u.s. and china are in the midst of a hard power competition, b
