spencer was one of those guys who does not give up. spencer takes one of his carbines. he's frustrated and goes directly to the white house and gets a meeting with abraham lincoln. in a famous story, he and abraham lincoln go out on the white house grounds and abraham lincoln gets to test fire one of these himself. as soon as he does this, abraham lincoln orders his generals, you are accepting this rifle. it took really a presidential order to take one of these for us to adopt this. so this is the famous spencer carbine. works wonderfully. as soon as lincoln was dead, the army took back all of the spencer carbines, put a device on and turn them into single shot carbines. they were still worried about the money. but still a beautiful idea. going back to the calvary, we see another jump in technology. before the civil war if you had a pistol, this is probably what it looks like, single shot. you notice it also shaped like a club. it works great with one shop and then you can bonk someone. an american inventor by the name of samuel colt, he invents a revolver while sailing

well, now secretary spencer, he was not very vocal in his job as navy secretary.nly a couple of months later and endorsing one of the president's potential democratic opponents, guys. >> yeah, talk to us about this for a second. let me pick up on that point. how significant is this endorsement, given the fact that president trump has demonstrated and shown visibly a disdain for michael bloomberg? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, this is a real black eye for president trump here, specifically a political appointee, but also the fact that he's endorsing michael bloomberg, and we also have to point out that secretary spencer is a lifelong republican, he's not someone who came in as a democrat and served in a republican administration. we have seen just in recent days that michael bloomberg is really getting under president trump's skin, tweeting about him, talking about him, he has made up a nickname for him. the fact that we have someone who's just so recently a political appointee endorsing one of the president's potential opponents, it's a significant step here today, g

alice, looking at former secretary spencer, this life-long republican, now endorsing mike bloomberg. big of a deal is this for bloomberg? >> it's a great get for bloomberg and i think they are certainly getting a lot of attention for it, but secretary spencer has a tremendous history and record in his public service, but he certainly doesn't speak for all of the military and certainly for all americans and republicans specifically for that matter. i speak with a lot of people in the military, they support this president because he supports them with regard to funding for the military and pay increases, but with regard to republicans and spencer being a republican, look, president trump has the support of 94% of his republican pace and that is solid and strong and not going anywhere. not to mention the fact across the country his approval ratings have gone up with all of this impeachment talk that has been going on to 49%, the highest it's ever been, and with the economy up to 63%. so while this might be a good bump and a good news cycle for bloomberg, it's certainly not going to impa

spencer? >> clear and dry.vernight it's going to remain clear as well, except for a patch were to of fog at the coast. overnight lows in the mid to upper 40s. tomorrow look for another mild and sunny warm day with highs in the coast, the mid 60, to near 80 in the warmest spots. and we're talking a lot about the rainfall deficit here in the bay area. there was also a snowfall deficit in the sierra. right now sierra snowpack is at 50% of its average depth for this time of the year. let's take a lock at our accuweather seven-day forecast. it will be sunny and mild to warm for the next four day, all the way through friday with an increase in clouds and breezy conditions on saturday. it looks like our next chance of a shower will be on sunday, and then we begin next week all over again with sunny, mild, and dry weather. dan and ama? >> keeps continuing. spencer, thank you. >>> why drive when you could fly from home? >> yeah, coming up next, we'll introduce you to the team that is working on a personal flying vehicle

. >>> i'm spencer christian. it looks like february's going to end on the same note it started on, a dry one. vomike bloomberg has a recordgue of doing something. as mayor, he protected women's reproductive rights. expanded health coverage to 700,000 new yorkers. and decreased infant-mortality rates to historic lows. as president, he'll build on obamacare, cap medical costs, and will always protect a woman's right to choose. mike bloomberg: a record on health care nobody can argue about. mike: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message. grand now we have to deal withed us this.rs. climate change is an emergency. that's why i wrote the nation's most progressive climate law. and that's why i'm endorsing tom steyer. because when big oil tried to stop our clean air laws, he led us to victory. same with the keystone pipeline. when tom says we can save the world and do it together believe him. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message. >>> the largest transit center in the western united states is right here in the

. >> drivers -- i feel like this is another spencer story. they're the worst! according to researchers out of unlv, they found owners of expensive vehicles feel a sense of superiority over pedestrians, thus less likely to yield to them. in fact, the likelihood that they'll yield decreases by 3% for every thousand dollars their vehicle is words. researchers found they're more likely to run red lights and drive recklessly or too fast. >> spencer, i don't see you doing that. >> would suggest that i drive an expensive vehicle. >> i was going to say, i feel like it is a nice car. >> i drive an american made car. but it is probably considered in the luxury category but it was not pictured in that video. >> his car is very comfortable. >> he's a great driver. smooth ride, stops completely. >> can we get back to -- >> this show is not the spencer show. >> are you sure? >> very true. >> i think people in gentle being from hawaii. they let people go through intersections. whereas in most cities, people are a target. >> at the risk of making some enemies, i'll bet the ped

richard spencer resigned as secretary of the navy on november 24th.rkably today he became the first trump appointee to endorse one of president trump's opponents for the november election. we'll have more on that a little bit later on. but there have been principled, high-level resignations from the trump administration. there have been a few. because we know the president does not like to fire anyone directly, he likes to have other people do that for him, we can surmise based on that past practice that there are probably other people in the chain of command who were called upon today and tonight to start firing the witnesses who testified against president trump in the impeachment inquiry. so far, whoever those people are, they appear to be carrying out those orders and not resigning in protest. we haven't seen any resignations, at least that we know of. that's notable not only because history is sort of focused intently on our behavior as a country right now, i truly believe, but also because at least within the military, when it comes to the speci

what do you think the party is going to lean more towards, spencer?e party is just going to lean towards nominating an effective candidate who can beat president trump. i think people worry too much about the democratic party have the thumb on the scale too much. i think we could see something like that happen. bloomberg has been running a very impressive campaign, a lot of people thought he would be blowing through his seemingly endless supply of money. money cannot buy success in politics as many preview previos self-financed candidates have found. i was at an event in mont montey recently. it reminded me on an obama event. bloomberg's event struck me as in that league. he's spending money very intelligently. cheryl: the last word to you, siri, impeachment ending in washington. is this a negative or a positive, do you thinker think,e democrats, the impeachment debacle. seems to me it maybe hurt them a little bit. >> i absolutely do think it is a negative. first and foremost, you have absolutely solidified president trump's base as if he needed anyth

advert: we're spencer & arlington.ung people and adults with disabilities... spencer & arlington were the company providing carers forjonty bravery. they boast of a highly trained team. they are rated "good" by the care regulator and are used by a number of councils. hammersmith and fulham council had legal responsibility forjonty bravery. spencer & arlington said in a statement... but they say, because of the gravity of the bbc‘s claims, they have reported this to the care regulator and the council so it can be examined by the serious case review. jayne knight is from learning disability england. she deals with complex cases like this and works with people likejonty bravery.... i'm incredulous that 12 months before, having said and been recorded, so obviously the care worker was concerned, he'd obviously heard that before, so recorded it, it obviously wasn't the first time it had been said, that a system that would usually deal with problems where people start to say that they've got that type of problem, hasn't been

you may recall spencer was publicly fired in november after he challenged the president's decision to let a navy s.e.a.l. acquitted of murder keep his s.e.a.l. status. courtney kube is in virginia where spencer is expected to take the stage alongside mayor bloomberg as i said in about an hour. courtney, he was a cabinet member chosen by president trump but fired very publicly. is this about the way trump handled the gallagher case or is there more to the endorsement? >> reporter: as you mentioned, steph, he was a cabinet member for a short time, served as acting secretary of defense. most people in the united states don't know who the service secretaries are, so it is uncommon that he is such a household name, but it was because of the way he was fired, the very public way he was fired last november. he spoke out against president trump getting involved in the uniform code of military justice cases, and the specific case of eddie gallagher, navy s.e.a.l. accused of war crimes during deployment, acquitted of most, president trump intervened to convict of the last charge. secretary spen

spencer. let me start questions with doctor emmett, perhaps to set the stage of where the ncaa is and what this committee and congress might envision for its role, in october 2019, they voted unanimously to prevent athletes to benefit from the use of name, image andnd likeness ia manner consistent with the collegiate model. the details of the ncaa policy about not be established until generate 21. are you able tois describe the general principle of the ncaa and members seek to preserve the tsrules for name, image and likeness compensation from third party student athletes? how do you foresee the internal input seeking and policy timeline colliding with the actions now taking place in state? it's been acknowledged they made known their interest in this matter, is are concerned thes ncaa calibration process would take to form to keep up with the expected rate of state legislation on this issue? >> thank you for the question. i think the first part to be made, recognize the rules of the by the sc
