"Different Brought to you by Nitze and the Ad council is I'm rich Dennison President Trump is expected to leave the White House before President elect Joe Biden is sworn in next Wednesday morning, bound for his private resort in Florida. By the time he arrived at Mar a Lago, he could be a former president. As President elect Joe Biden will take the oath of office at noon on the West Front of the U. S. Capitol boxes. Rachel Sutherland at the White House. Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller says the military has reduced the number of American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq to 2500 per country as ordered by President Trump. Last year, four U. S troops were killed in combat in Afghanistan and an equal number in Iraq. There are now 7000 National Guard troops guarding the nation's capital. More forces than currently deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Combined up to 21,000 National Guardsmen are expected to be mobilized in D. C by inauguration day boxes. Lucas Tomlinson at the Pentagon, America is listening to Fox News. Better life with Dr Sanjay Gupta. This is the thing that makes Corona virus spreads so hard to stop. I'm Dr Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent. Hard to believe the first documented case of Corona virus here in the United States was just about a year ago. Scientists are still learning about this novel virus, including the fact that, according to the CDC, most infections are spread by people with no symptoms. That means that at least half of new infections come from people likely unaware that they are infectious to others. Peak infectiousness is about five days after someone becomes infected. That's typically before someone is going to show symptoms. If they even start showing symptoms, it's called being pre symptomatic. Other people again will never develop symptoms and that's asymptomatic. So until a vaccine is more widespread, where a mask watch your distance wash your hands. I'm Dr Sanjay Gupta, helping you live a better life. Lomas Brown here when I was drafted by the Detroit Lions, the first land got all about was being able to take care of my family.

"Madeleine brand US military veterans were among the mob of Trump supporters storming the halls of Congress last week. Actually, Babbitt, the San Diego woman who was shot and killed during the riots served in the Air Force. So did Larry Randall Brock. Who was photographed inside the Senate chambers carrying zip ties and has since been arrested and the shirtless guy with the giant horns Jake and Jelly. He's former Navy to the Pentagon. The fact that ex military members were involved in the capital riots is not surprising. Just last month, Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller ordered a review of current policy around extremist and hate group activity. Within the military. But with more than a million active duty members and 18 million veterans. Where's the Pentagon begin to address this? Bryan Bender is senior national correspondent for Politico. He wrote about this and he joins me now. Hi. Good to be here could have you Well, it seems every day we're finding out that more veterans were involved in this crazy insurrection at the Capitol. Were you surprised to see so many people who are military veterans doing that? You know, I think all of us were surprised by the whole thing. But as you pointed out, as more information came out about some of the people involved in breaching the capital Including what seemed to be some of the ringleaders. Had military ties, I think was it was a little surprising, But if you consider the issue that you know, the military has kind of dealt with this on and off for years. Usually things seem fine. But then there's a couple of incidents where extremists in the ranks either do things or say things and everybody focuses on it again. And what a lot of the experts tell us is that the rise of extremist viewpoints in the military tends to mirror rises in society at large. So if there's more of this going on in the wider Population, It tends to see more heavily in military and a lot of the right wing groups. Anti government militias, for example, tend to recruit people that have military experience. Either people already in the military or Those who come out of the motor and I think it's important. Oh, make that distinction. These were all former military people. And so it's not clear yet whether They had some of these views while they were in service or whether they develop them while they came out one of the things the Pentagon out of people are getting radicalized happen while they're in the milk. Getting radicalized while they're in the military. So they're not radical before joining the military. What in the military radicalizes them? I mean, it's hard to know. I mean, what radicalizes anybody. There's obviously a lot of opportunities whether it's online. Or through other means to be exposed to some of these viewpoints, and you know some of these groups. You tend to target people in the military. You know, it's not that you know, there's an army of extremists that are hiding in the U. S military. I think the concern is that it's still a small percentage. But it's A little bit more viral in its growing in numbers. And like it, society at large. Perhaps there are people in the military who feel like it's a more permissible environment for these kinds of ideas. So the Pentagon like You said a month ago had started to address this issue because I think people were sounding the alarm. And so the Pentagon is actually right now engaged in a series of things to try and get a better handle on how Serious for problem is do they have the right procedures in place? The right training spot these people? What are the signs that there might be people with East extremity? It's in the military branches. What do we need to do about it in other ways to prevent people from becoming radicalized, so they don't leave the military and then Like his father last week, go play prominent roles in some of the illegal activities. Right. And so one group that specifically recruits members of the military or ex members of the military is the oath keepers. A right wing notarized extremist group. What is their stated reason for wanting military members or ex military members in their ranks? Like what do they want to do with that? That knowledge and training and expertise Well, you know some of these groups and you can't really lump them all together. You know, they have some commonalities. They have usually very racist views. Ideological driven. They're also very anti government and You know if you're an anti government militia, or you don't believe that the US government is legitimate and you think needs to be overthrown. And obviously you're gonna want people who have some skills who may be potentially know how to do that. Well, Is there a kind of an irony there? I mean, here they are recruiting people who were trained by the government itself. To overthrow the government. I mean, or two at least. They're fighting against the current idea of the government. So I mean, there is. There is an irony there. Don't you think there's an irony there, But at the same time, you could look at it if you know sort of the ultimate coup. In other words, we're going toe get the Best in the brightest from within that illegitimate government. We're gonna brainwash them. We're going to change their views and bring them to our side. So it's kind of surprising if this has been going on for a long time, and not just for the last four years, But for a while longer than that, that the Pentagon really doesn't have any idea. Too, about the extent to which Its members. Some of its members have been radicalized. Well, I think I'm the one and it's it's difficult. To spot some of these elements within the military. In other words, you know we live in a date age where you're probably not gonna flaunt it. You're not gonna walk through the mess hall. You know, wearing Nazi SS tattoo or display your sympathies overtly. And so that means that commanders at lower levels need to be aware of the signs. They need to be aware of where their soldiers are going online. What you know subscriptions are they Signing up for all the experts will say it's it's the kind of issue that needs constant vigilance. And needs to be understood in all levels of command that this is an issue that we need to be aware of, and Like a lot of institutions, you know? Gets into crisis mode when something pops up soldiers Found. For example, Like you know, Florida National Guardsmen, it turned out a couple of years ago, it founded a neo Nazi group. Obviously, once that came to light, they took action. It's like the problem in society at large. It Rears its ugly head. You do something about it? Then you sort of go about your business. And you know years could go by where you're not necessarily being vigilant, And I think that's what people say. We are right now where this is an issue that's kind of languished. Well, A lot of these groups were activated, radicalized when Barack Obama became president, first black president People didn't like that. And I am wondering if the next secretary of defense retired General Lloyd Austin, who's black. If he's confirmed as next secretary of defense. What could that spark in terms of a reaction within the military? You know, it's good question. I mean, I think it's definitely On people's minds. But, you know, I guess I look at it this way, which is military is a very diverse organization. And I mean, obviously there are a lot of African Americans in the military Latinos. All kinds of people from all kinds of walks of life and so writ large the institution. Knows that these viewpoints are bad. They know that it's eroding the military, and so they're willing to do something about it. So I think if general often comes in, he makes this a priority, and I think most people think you will. People will follow this lead. And you know the military. That's one good thing about the institution, which is you have to follow orders. So if there are new procedures in place, new training in place to try and Get a better handle on this issue. I think people will get in line. Bryan Bender is senior national correspondent for Politico. Brian. Thank you. Thank you. Coming up why black.
