"A couple of furlongs in trip will suit him here. He's around about 8 or 9 to one. He looks a handicapped project to me and I thought he was a decent bit of value in a trappy little race. I covered that race on talks for the run in the last day. And I was quite bullish about him winning it. I really liked that debut and has just a little bit disappointed with him, but I've watched that race back several times. Doyen star was really good. Real and full credit to Tony McCormick, he put him up on the day at ten to one. And he still got shot the entries and Evan Williams apparently thinks an awful lot of them. So that race might actually be worth an awful lot more than it looked at the time. And I wouldn't be dismissive at all of Julie smoke. That being said, colonel Harry was who I landed on, took advantage of a big drop in class after finishing fourth in the Talbot hurdle in grade one company when winning at Newcastle at the end of January, under a penalty, the negative firm in my mind is he likes to dominate and there's going to be competition for the lead. Made all the last day and looked pretty damn good there and there was plenty more to come at the line Jamie Snowden's got a 38% strike rate at the track, Gavin Sheehan, again, having a terrific season 28% of Kelso, I thought he could run a big race. So we're all going in different directions there. Carla Harry for myself. For Kerry Lee for Chester and Ho chili smoke for Mark Milligan. We've got the try cast lads. We've got to try guest sorted. The 3 o'clock is a handicap hurdle over two miles and 5 furlongs Santos blue heads the bedding just about for that man Dan skeleton, having won his last two. He's a blue brezel and he's four to one with beta. Dance with the wind. 5 to one shot, Nelson, having his first run after a wind up is 6s and man's glory for The Good Doctor, a 7 to one shot Chester, who do you like? I found this is a really hard to judge. There are a lot of forces that have won worst races as well. Four or 5 horses that won the worst races last time out and actually they're stepping up and now you're putting together like a lot of horses that are a lower level. I didn't particularly think there was an obvious bet, but if I had to go down by colors to one, it would probably be no sun. He won the premiere of his hurdle on the meeting at the meeting last year and it's been touched sporting this season, but he ran he ran well in the last run in a good handicap and cheltenham. No, he has been dropped two pounds. That is now four pounds below his best mark. And I just think he obviously had was the track well. He obviously handles the conditions well. Two more four won't be a problem for him. So he's proven up as good enough for this level. Whereas there aren't many horses in here that are proven speaking enough to this level. So he would be the one for me, but there wasn't an obvious back for me in this race. Yeah, there wasn't an obvious bit for me either. I like jewel course when her dance with the wind, but it was a tentative selection. It wouldn't be bullish. Mark, what about you? Yeah, I was exactly the same as two to be honest. I wasn't overly enamored with anything in the race from a betting point of view and did come down on Santos blue just because he's only a 6 year old, he's lightly raced, he's progressive. He gets on well with his amateur rider as well, but certain who's written him to his last two wins to be honest when I was going through the race earlier, I wasn't expecting him to be a joint favorite because he's up in grade and that kind of just throws me off a little bit, but tentatively, I'm going to stick with Santos blue, even though I don't think there's massive amounts of mileage in his price at the moment. Tricky always that one. We're going to have a grand national contender lining up in the three 35 and each way options will be gone because zanzi is due to run at newbury so unless something really weird happens here he's declared for this, but his preferred engagement is newbury and we all know he absolutely loves that track. So we'll talk about him in a few minutes. Let me Los is the 15 to 8 favorite for the premier listed chase with beta and it's all roads to the grand national of the shunter winner on this card two years ago. Hundreds of 30 for Emmett Mullins and Dunham Milo. Wishing and hoping for melroy, Alex Edwards 13 years young now at 8 to one shot and empire steel for sandy Thompson is an 11 to one shot with bed deck as we record Chester leaders off again. Is this going to be a winning step to the grand national for the Hennessy winner let me Los? I thought it's a really sharply little race to not actually rolling into the bar. To their bark will probably be enough to win. If any horse is able to even do that, it would be lost as being very good since his story that I've done scouted and now he obviously won the gold cup and that was that was really good for you mastered who's once. But I would just fear that the grand national was very much the aim and they would have left plenty to work on so I'm sure all of that the question definitely and I don't think they'll have the ready to peek and at the 72 or 7 and a half for him, which is on the short side is what banger and some of the new brilliant and that was super nice too. I just feared that he'll find it all a bit sharp and I think really the center is the one to go for in this race.

"That's positive for his jumping ability. But he is by guess way, and they do combat to hand quickly to get aways. So there's no real we can't be sure these could have improved with time and actually he may have already shown his ability. Are you like to be a lion? It was a good run of the toll worth. He was only beast in three legs. And he has the beating of the colonel Harry on that run. He was behind him that day. I think Kelso is quite a sharp track. You know, you go around three beds there. As job courses go, it is a child track. And I think that will suit him because obviously his next flat horse is probably got the best hurdles for an offer, and I think he's quite a fair price that's sort of largest too. Very good show, very good indeed for the gelding by golden horn for Kerry Lee. But Mark, what about you? Yeah, I think this is a trappy old race and just made some good points about fur and Ilya. I think anything that Emmett Mullins sends over. You've got to treat with the utmost respect, but it's not the easiest race to be making you hurdle in debut and is it a competitive little affair? I came down on the side of another Dan skelton horse Ho Julie smoke who I think the two runs he's had over hurdles today both the chips though. I think they've just been a means to an end. He certainly wasn't given anything like a hard time last time when he was third when he was dropping back. To two miles. I think he's on a reasonable opening mark of a 120. I think handicaps have been the plan all along for this one. He's only 5 year old. He's a winning pointer and he'll be suited by stepping back up in trippy shapes at Shep stoned as if two miles was a bare minimum for himself. I think stepping

"I do like colonel manderson, mustard, not occlude. With the candlestick in the library. Yeah, well hopefully with that Kelso. It was third in the county hurdle beating three legs. That was a really good run of only two parallel it was a manly competitive race and obviously it was won by state man. So he had very little chance of winning that. It's trace runs this year. I haven't been ideal, but I think they're easy to ignore. So he doesn't look like a natural tracer. He is flatbread, and I think he's just the class activist race. It's hard to knock. And one at a price I thought was I couldn't call rule out tritonic. He ran okay in the back for hurdle. He has got four pounds for that. And his flat runs recently suggest he retains his ability. And I think that sort of 25 to one, you know, he could have run his price, but it's hard to rule any obviously. It's a very competitive race. It is, I like the showed for tritonic and I really like the shirt for colonel mustard. Big fan of Lauren Fowler's and it's very, very interesting that they've decided to go for this race. The more I looked at the more I came down on the side of Cormier and it is more of a price factor than anything else. He won this off one three four last year. He's back down to one 36 now, having been raised. They've kept him very busy. He's basically running everywhere. He's been on the flash. He's over hurdles. They've tried novice chasing the last two times. That did not go well. But he traveled up really well in the county hurdle at cheltenham last year, then got bumped when he found trouble along the rail, coming to the last. He was beaten at the time, but that didn't help his finishing position. And he was respectable 7th to statement there and ran a lot better in the great Woods than his finishing position of being beaten 20 lengths would suggest. He finished 6th at his best run in the race in three attempts. There's no champion hurdle class like statement or I like to move it in here and a 12 to one he would be the each way pick of the race for me. So colonel mustard tritonic and Cormier would be the ones that Chester and myself are putting forward Mark. What about you? Are you going to agree with one of our three or put something completely different into the mix? I'm just going to keep it simple here, Emmett, and speaking of men called Emmett, do you remember two years ago, a horse called the shunt? Oh yes. How could we forget? Wouldn't this race with the shunt to make tea? He's arguably more of a class actor than the shun. So this is a horse who was good enough to run in a vert and futurity as a two year old for Jim bulger and he's a great two winner in France over hurdles and just the second start over hurdles. That third start at our toy, I think there was something wrong with him that day. So I'm prepared to put a line through that. He obviously was a bit out of his depth behind the likes of lossy mouth and last time at leopard stone. This just, it's just got Emmett Mullins plot horse all over for me this time. This is a really classy horse. I also like the fact that he was a classy flat animal. He's time form rated a 105 on the flat. And he made the frame in some really, really good handicaps in Ireland. Elsa is a track that rarely gets particularly testing is not a massive test of stamina. And I think he's flat speed or play well here. And I think he'll just be too quick for this mob to be honest. I'm all over it, so you can hear. He's going to be my nap of the weekend. Yes, it's a comparative race, but I really, really fancy fatigue in here. Well, that a toy run, the second one can't have been right. Because he beat sent donuts the time before on similar ground. According to the French it was heavy. Speak it, speaking of scent than that. He's a ten to one shot for the triumph hurdle. Yeah, worth noting. He's now time form rated a 154. Wow. Beating goes here off a mark of a 142. Potentially could have a stern in hand. Interesting. Very, very interesting. Emmett Mullins, of course, has only ever sent one runner over to Kelso and that horse was the shelter and indeed one. You'll be sending two, though at the weekend because he's got ferno lily, let's go with that. Two 25 in the premiere novices hurdle the grade two. I've done a model on board and is currently a four to one shot with beta 0% commission. If you sign up now for the first 30 days, take advantage of that for cheltenham. Niman for Carrie Lee is a 9 to two shot. Colonel Harry for Jamie Snowden, who's got a cracking record at the track, with Gavin Sheehan aboard who's been having a great season. Around about a 7 to one shot currently with bed duck and accidental rebel is 8 to one for fergal O'Brien and paddy Brennan. Chester leaders off who do you like in the grade two premiere novices hurdle? I think there are a lot of this race was a revolver about farron Italy. His bumper run last time is probably the best, best form and offer near enough and he's not really a bad price, but it's impossible to judge how it's going to take turbine. He won a, he's probably,

"The following race. Look, I'm casting my mind back. A few weeks here. Do you remember a few weeks before Christmas? Were you saying the venetia Williams horses were not in great form? And I put a couple of them up anyway and she turned it around, didn't she? Here's the thing. We were both talking about it. The thing is, you ended up being right because you stuck with your horses anyway, and they won that weekend. I was taking them on and they slapped me in the face with a wet fish. You know, if any broke, don't fix it. So I'm gonna do that again. I think for a bamboo on his first two starts, this season. He ran perfectly well first time out. I asked Scott when he was second, he was then wasn't in quite the same form back at Asuka. Next time. But I think the key thing is he's going to get back on softer ground this weekend. And he was a winner on soft ground at lingfield last season. He ran really well a couple of times off Marx of a 140 and a 141 after that win. He started this season on a 142. Now the handicapper is just relented a touch and dropped him a couple of pounds, presumably for that slightly flat effort as Scott last time when he only finished fourth beaten early 13 wins. I think the key to Ferrero bamboo here is getting back on softer ground and as I say the venetia Williams policy that she's been doing about 10% or so but like you say she's had a winner today on the day where we called in this Ferrero bamboo goes really well on soft ground he should all be well get that on Saturday. I thought he was the value in here. Yeah, it's hard to disagree with that to be completely honest and I was very interested in gray diamond. And I think I remain interested in I would be more inclined to go with you with Fredo bamboo he's obviously got the form to be able to do it. His performance last time that against boot hill when he was beaten 13 links was good, boot hill has gone on to win since then prior to that it ask us he'd run fine against time white. He's capable at this level. And he's a solid performer. So in and around the prices, I would rather take fours about him. Then 11 to four about great diamonds and great damn it seems to be taking an unusual drift. Maybe this is just a focus of anti post betting these days. The prices were all wrong in the first place and the market is trying to adjust, but yeah, I think I would go with you with fray ro bamboo for now. We are going to talk about the other tracks in a second, but we're going to stick with Sam down and on to the grade one. The tall worth. The constitution hill link was there with Nik Henderson. It's kind of still there in that authorized speed won the race at sandin, the constitution hill one last year, so he's following in his hoof prints just for a different yard for the more team. And his two to one with beta as we record. The same price about the wildly impressive horse the Paul Nichols trains. Tamara, who beat sizing potsy, who hasn't done a whole lot for the form since then, but visually that was a very impressive display that tomorrow's put up for the Paul Nichols and Harry cobden duo a combination back at in haydock on Bedford chase day. Arctic Brazil, they talked about the musculoskeletal for him after he won his maiden hurdle at cork, but here he is a three to one shot for Henry Dubrovnik and Rachel blackmore and Evan Williams and Adam wedge team up with last year boy. It's an interesting race. Authorized speed has been held in very high regard for quite some time. He's won two ordinary enough hurdles, but has done so very impressively competed in the champion bumper last year, 11 links of facade. And then there's the nickel source and Arctic brazel who cost 305,000. Not the easiest to split them, so how do you set about doing that, Mark? Yeah, so really interesting race, isn't it? The betting would have us believe it's a three horse race. I'm not entirely sure that it should be just a three horse race because there are the likes of colonel Harry blew your contango and even last year boy. Who all have got potential to improve markedly. Authorized speed was an impressive winner last time, wasn't he more so when you consider it made a horrendous error at the last and almost got rid of Jamie Moore and to win as impressively as he did after that. Max came out as quite useful. I think I'm with you that. I don't think it was much of a race, tamira, as did absolutely nothing wrong, improved markedly with an easy win. Hey, Doc last time. But my default position in these kind of races is something useful or potentially useful looking is coming over from island, then I think we should lean in that direction. And for that reason, I'm siding with active Brazil, who was an impressive winner at cork on debut. I think although a few of the also around haven't done an awful lot for the form of that mid and hurdle yet, I think time will tell, particularly with mercury and second, I think time will tell that that was probably a decent enough race and acting Brazil was impressive to my eye. The time wasn't anything to write home about, but this didn't go very fast. It wasn't a race that would be conducive to recording a decent time figure. It costs a lot of money. I think he's got plenty of room for improvement. And he's got one of those rare beasts, the time form latch, he attached to his rating. So I'm going to go for at Brazil. Hopefully to improve authorized speed and tamura, but there are one or two others in here that you wouldn't be surprised at all if they improved enough to play a hand in the finish. Yeah, we just don't know how good they are. And look, for that reason, if you wanted to go and take a swing at a colonel Harry, for example, I wouldn't put you off that. He's not my selection, but if you want to go and have a swing at him and the way the race is going to be Ron, he's probably going to set a decent pace. So he'll be the angle to toe everything into this race. Maybe if you can get some easy lead and was able to hang on to that fair enough and he's a wild price. But it probably should be about the first three. And given that fact, at the current odds with bed deck right now, given the Arctic Brazil is threes and the other two are twos. I'll take the threes of Arctic bezel. I know he's held in high regard. I know that he's highly thought of from the point to point sphere as well. He would need to settle better because he did pull harder than run Germany last time. I thought

We're just a few days away from Christmas Eve when kids and parents all around the world, not just here in the U.S., but all around the world will pull up the norad Santa tracker online. Millions of kids to watch where Santa is, where is his sleigh? Where's his head at? It's one of the coolest little things. My kids loved it. Oh my God, it was so exciting on Christmas Eve when we would pull up the norad tracker and watch Santa make his journey around the world to deliver toys to all the good boys and girls. And there are a lot of urban legends around how that was created, how the norad thing was created. The one that everybody thinks is true is where on Christmas Eve in 1955, the commander of the continental air defense command center picked up a call on the red phone fully expecting very bad news from Washington, and it was a little girl who wanted to know, are you Santa and how does Santa get to all the kids houses in one night? And there was a big story about how there was a misprint and a newspaper and that's how the red phone number got leaked and blah blah blah. That's kind of true, but it's not the whole story. The whole story does involve 1955 and the head of the continental air command who answered a phone and this is an Air Force Base in Colorado, by the way, but it wasn't the red phone, and it was a little girl calling to ask if commander shoup was Santa Claus, so he responded to her, there may be a guy named Santa Claus at the North Pole, but he's not the one I'm worrying about coming from that direction. But a few weeks later, when he was telling people about this phone call, shub got an idea, so he sent out a press release saying that continental air command was tracking Santa Claus and the press loved it. So the following year shoot did it again. And by the time the Cold War ended, they transformed conad into norad, the North American aerospace defense command, and the tradition continued for another year and another year. And before you knew it, people just expected it. So now these days on Christmas Eve, you can log in to the norad tracker online, you'll see a map of the whole wide world with little dots, little tiny gift boxes that show the locations sand is already visited. There's a little camera icon, kids can click on, and you can see Santa soaring around famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower. That's cool. Liberty. So they learn about a little bit about geography too along the way. And they watch Santa coming and it all started, it all started with a little girl dialing a wrong number and colonel Harry shoot playing along and sending out a press release and if it wasn't for that happening in 1955, we wouldn't have the norad Santa tracker today. Isn't that great? That's fantastic. That's sweet. What a sweet little story. All right, straight ahead. I have something for you right now. A very, very one of the most beloved musicians of all time, and of one of the greatest rock composers of all time. Something that was very personal to him and his wife. Was purchased by a fan and the fan is loaning it. To the British Liverpool museum, this Liverpool museum. And people are going to be able to come and actually see this very personal item. I will tell you what it is and the songs that go along with it, and it's straight ahead. With bob and sherry, bob and sherry ask, do you know a crazy cat person? Are you crazy? We are not crazy. Are you a crazy cat person? Well. Time to out yourself and proclaim to the world your love of your kitty best friend. It's the my life is all about my cat line in the bob and cherry store, with t-shirts available in an assortment of colors, with the perfect style for you. Unisex women's and even tank tops in sizes small to three X or you can have tea or coffee with your kiddie pow with ceramic mugs that also say my life is all about my cat.

It's really amazing what people will pay for an item from celebrities, especially a celebrity. That's an icon, like once in a while you're here, address that was owned by Marilyn Monroe, goes for a $110,000 or something from Elton John, like one of his pianos when he was a kid, his $50,000, whatever it is. Evidently, a guy in 1989 bought John Lennon's toilet. He paid a $1000 for it at an auction. And it's been sitting around his house. He said for a long time. This is a toilet from the house that Lenin lived in Titan Hearst park with Yoko Ono. It's the same house he wrote imagine in. So it was part of a very important period in John's life. And for some reason, the toilet went on the market and this guy paid a thousand pounds, which is about a $1000 today. Way back in the 1980s. So I guess it would be worth a whole lot more anyway. There's a place called the Liverpool Beatles museum. I visited that once. It's very cool. And the head of it, mister best, said, the gentleman contacted us and told us that it was just sitting around his house gathering dust and asked, would we like to put it on display in his museum? And we thought, well, it's a bit quirky. It's not what we normally display, but who's to say what you should and shouldn't display. So we'll give it a go. So they are at The Beatles museum showing now John's toilet from the imagined years. They've also put together an album. Would you like to hear some of the songs that when you go into the room where John's toilet is what you hear? Sure.

"And lily drugs, but they're building it back up. Guys, Meg, we were talking a little bit earlier about this idea of whether you could get the defense production act in place, and that could actually create a lot more volume of the Pfizer drug. As you just said, 10 million doses by the summer, 10 million doses by the summer, maybe too late. When we talk to Scott golly about this, he seems to suggest there was still a 6 month lag in terms of even if you started right now. It would take 6 months to really be able to ramp properly. The question is, is if you start now, it may be that by the time of the summer, you could get to a 100 million if you really went to it. Is there a resistance by Pfizer to do that? Well, certainly companies never like when the defense production act is used to force them to do something. Sometimes it could be beneficial to them because it puts them in the front of the line for materials and supplies. We saw that with the vaccines it was helpful to the companies if they were on that end, but it also has knocked down effects. Other drugs get pushed to the side. So it's something that people in the industry hope is used very precisely. In terms of the supply, though, Pfizer did increase its full year forecast for supply for the world to a 120 million courses yesterday up from 80 million. The U.S. is only order 10 million at this point. Could we see them increase that and when could more get delivered is a big question, but Doctor Fauci did talk yesterday about how complicated this drug is to manufacture and that it does have that time of 6 to 8 months for the active ingredient. And then finally there's an incentive question, which you just raised, which is those that are unvaccinated are almost I don't want to say have a greater incentive, but in some ways they will probably have access to this drug before those who are vaccinated. It's sort of the anti incentive to get vaccinated. I don't know if you read yesterday Chapman online, had made this statement that got a lot of people very upset, which was that he said, basically, that unvaccinated people should not be taken care of. I don't think anybody agrees with that, but how do you change that incentive structure in this case? Yeah, it's a real problem. It's an ethical question, but something we saw with the antibody drugs when they were in short supply too. If you got a prioritize the highest risk folks, that's folks who don't have the vaccine, so we'll have to see how that plays out in these treatment guidelines. Complicated stuff. Meg, thank you. Appreciate it. We have something of a holiday tradition on squawk box, checking in annually with the top secret military mission at norad, the North American aerospace defense command. Which fields thousands of tips and questions from the public about a certain flying object every December 24th. Santa was spotted over Petersen Air Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Let's get back to Becky. The recent boom in space tourism has the skies more crowded than ever, but that isn't deterring our next guest and her team from their mission of tracking Santa's voyage around the world on Christmas Eve. Let's welcome this morning, U.S. Air Force captain, sable Brown, who is a public affairs officer at the North American aerospace defense command, which is otherwise known as norad. She's also a member of the norad track Santa team. This, by the way, is the 66th year that norad is going to be tracking Santa's global journey and captain, thank you for being with us today. I would imagine that this job has gotten a lot more difficult over those 66 years because there's so much more stuff in the air, including all of the stuff that's in space right now. How are you guys doing this? How are you handling it? Well, thank you for having me, Becky, and yes, the job of watching the United States and Canada's skies is a little bit tougher, but we're able to keep up with it by working with our partners and allies around the world and in regards to tracking Santa. It takes a lot of contributors and a lot of volunteers to get that job done and they are happy to do it every year. So how do you guys do this? Let's track through all the technology that you have to actually watch Santa as he goes around the globe because this is something little kids have been so curious about for forever. Right. And when we get children that call in the op center, we give them all the answers about how norad tracks Santa every year. And it starts when he makes his first movements out of the North Pole. The radar in the northern Canadian and northern Alaskan Arctic area track him with those north warning satellites. And then as he moves west across the international date line, are satellites can watch the infrared signature from Rudolph's red nose as he flies around the world. And when he makes it back to Canada and the United States are fighter escort pilots, make sure to give him a wave and safely escorted him through North American airspace and then he heads back home to the North Pole to get ready for next year. I know we can all follow along by watching on the Internet on the website. How many people actually call into the limestone? Back in 2019, we had over a 150,000 calls. The phone never stops ringing. What do kids say when they call in? And how did this whole thing start by the way? Well, it started back in 1955 when there was a misprinted ad for a department store saying that children can call Santa at a certain phone number. But the misprint actually led to the conad back then it was continental air defense command. The call center there, a red phone that colonel Harry shop famously picked up and he went along with the call and so did the rest of his crew all night and that's how the tradition of norad tracks Santa got started. Well, it's a great tradition and we appreciate you all keeping it up this year. We'll be watching and we know you all will too as Santa takes off on Christmas Eve. Captain Brown, thank you so much for joining us. And good luck to you and your staff with handling all these calls this year. Thank you. And happy holidays and hope to see you tracking Santa with us. Merry Christmas, we will be. I haven't seen Christmas vacation, the movie this year. That's an annual app might be my favorite. I think, just because of cousin Eddie because of Randy Quaid, but you remember where they're at the table and Clark griswold says you know sand has been spotted coming across the border there. And he looks at him and just goes, are you serious, Clark? Exactly. But there's about a hundred lines from that movie that I use, I think of some of the other ones I've been using. Oh, yeah. Jelly of the month club. Jelly of the month club, given out, didn't get a bonus, already broke ground. Gift that keeps going giving every year every week, every month. Next, on squawk pod, don't let champagne problems ruin your holiday. Bubbly shortages hitting liquor stores, but food and wine's ray aisle says there are plenty of options if you know where to look. People love rose rosa champagne to have a little more body in a power to them. They can be great as a dinnertime wine, a roast chicken and a rose champagne fantastic. It's been quite a 2021, so let's raise a glass. After this. You gotta take a listen to this. It's squawk pod. That's right, CNBC's flagship business news show is a podcast. Squawk pot. It is not just the show, folks. It might be even better because it's only audio. Join me, Katie Kramer as I take you inside the squawk box control room and beyond the headlines of our TV broadcast with Joe kernan Becky quick and Andrew Ross Sorkin. Every weekday.

Newt's World
"colonel harry" Discussed on Newt's World
"I just this morning. Read rumsfeld's september tenth two thousand one speech on transforming the pentagon the day before nine eleven occurs rumsfeld is outlining very profound fundamental reshaping of the pentagon which i think was largely derailed. Because you couldn't ask the system to simultaneously fight two wars and at the senior levels in fundamentally. Rethinking what it's doing. We're still stuck exactly where we were on. September tenth within very interesting to have an alternative world in which the was no war and rumsfeld was able to actually engage. It would have been a titanic struggle. I mean the system is really big and it's really dense and it really has huge number of lobbyists in the big producing companies. The fight that that would've been would've been spectacular. Congress also has a stake in the status quo and they don't like big disruptions in the way things work 'cause you know. They're concerned with jobs in their districts and other connections so it's not just the pentagon congress to even then sometimes are some leaders in congress who do try and modernize or curate systems and try and change things but it's just a really really difficult bureaucracy to transform and sometimes you almost need a president who can be an office for eight full years. Who doesn't have a war going on to institute. The kind of reforms are changes that might take root short of that. The pentagon bureaucracy union mentioned the taliban having watches and all the time that same could apply to the pentagon bureaucracy to they know they can outlast. Whoever is president they're really gonna be there a number of years and there will be somebody new in. It's the same kind of thing. Senior bush appointee said to me. One day he said. The term in the pentagon who the political appointees is the summer help. That's right and even then it takes many many months to get the summer help in place right. They're not there for four years even there for maybe three maybe to maybe one. I think the average is eighteen months. Yeah i mean that's no way to run a railroad right. It's very effective in terms of not being defeated militarily. One of the most interesting books to come out of vietnam was by colonel. Harry summers in which he took clausewitz and rethought yet in the context of clausewitz his work and he got into it because as the war ended he got in a conversation with a north vietnamese colonel and he said you never defeated us on the battlefield and the colonel said that was beside the point. Our job was to win the war. That's right and then you could imagine any number of taliban commanders thinking in or saying the exact same thing xactly. I actually got very sobered. I think it was in the spring of two thousand three rumsfeld asked me to come specifically to advise on transformation. Then i got involved all this other stuff and khalistan. I went to ireland. And i spent some time looking at the irish rebellion. Both the nineteen sixteen and then in the nineteen twenties and it just hit me that the british empire in the end lack the will and lack the capacity to defeat very small number of irish revolutionaries and. I thought you know the idea that we're going to go into a place like afghanistan or iraq and have an easy time is just profound mistake. Because that's not how the world worlds. And i really left. They're deeply trouble by how hard these problems are to try to solve and how some of them are not very solvable. Well i think that last part you mentioned that's the truth in some instances in one as a country where we've never been able to accept like in afghanistan. We always kind of thought the more troops in money. We threw it the problem. We could fix it. You're with enough time with enough persistence. We can fix anything in. That spirit is laudable. In the military in some sense that can do spirit. That there aren't problems. There's only challenges right. That's something you hear a lot in the army but after a while it's like okay. Do we really want to solve. All of afghanistan's problems are we going to really transform this country but this again gets back to the original purpose of the war if we kept it focused on al qaeda. We were pretty successful of front and over time. We've done a fairly good job of going after the original al qaeda central organization but then we became embroiled in a war in afghanistan. It wasn't a war against al qaeda. We somehow got stuck in a war in afghanistan that was essentially a civil war in some regards and we didn't make the distinction. Why are we fighting. A war in afghanistan if we just kept it to. We're fighting al qaeda. I think that would have gone a long way to keeping us from getting bogged down in afghanistan. Likely did in vietnam and one of the problems is somalia is a good example. Her after black hawk down in the loss of nineteen americans. We pulled out. Well in retrospect that might have been the right thing to at the time. I was very critical of clinton for doing it. But we weren't going to gain much ground in somalia. I mean we didn't understand the tribal fights we didn't understand the gangs and historically prior to say world war one the level of ruthlessness that industrial countries would use changed the game. Because you just killed lots of people. We're not prepared to do that. And if you're not prepared to do that you'd better design a strategy about who you really are in the war. Says you have to know the enemy and no yourself well somalis a great example of this is you mentioned black hawk down under the clinton administration thirty years ago. Now for the plo this. It's largely under the radar but we've been involved militarily in somalia for many years now under obama under trump allender by we send special operations forces. There we have small units that. Stay there for three time. We've been fighting lots of drone operations because we're trying to fight this al shabaab group which is a somali group and there's no question they're pretty brutal jihadists. But we're fighting them because we think they're affiliated with al qaeda and. There's certainly some sympathies. There but why are we engage in this warring somalia. who's the enemy. What are we really trying to accomplish. We've tried everything. We've sent troops there to stay. We've pulled him out. We've tried to err wars. We tried nation-building. Frankly none of it's really working. It may be one of those unsolvable problems. I don't know but this is the kind of insurgency still. We aren't quite sure what to do about. I had lunch one time with mark. Bowden who wrote black hawk down and he said he got money from the paper to go do this book and he wanted to interview somalians. He wanted both sides of the story so he goes into somalia by himself and he hires local guide and he staying at the hotel that's open and he is the only hard currency guest at the hotel and after about a week. The gang which has been guarding him comes to him and says we're very uncomfortable guarding an american. We think you should leave the country and so he worried about that. He goes and says the hotel owner. You know i've going to have to leave telling her seeing his only hard currency guest says why do you have to leave. And he said well you know this gang. That's been protecting me. Said they're not going to protect me anymore. He said they're not the government. You said. Hire a bigger gang so the hotel owner helps him find an even bigger gang who free even more money would shorten says stay agree they will protect it a which point the smaller gang. Let's see him alone because they don't want to take on the bigger gang. But i thought to myself you couldn't sit in the pentagon and.

The military's famous Santa Tracker began with a wrong number
"One December your day in one thousand nine hundred fifty five. Colonel Harry Shop. A highly decorated air force commander was sitting at his desk in Colorado. When the phone rang this was not just any old phone call either? which shop quickly realized how because shop had two luke phones on his desk one black one red? The Red One was ringing at the height of the Cold War. If you are colonel shop a commander in the early iteration of NORAD. America's defensive warning shield against the tax. You don't want want the red phone to rig. It was wired directly to a four star general at the Pentagon in when it rang. Things got got real very real. Except this time Karl Barth into the phone but there was silence on the other end until finally a small voice said is this clause shall by all accounts. I was briefly confused in then fully annoyed. Is this a joke. He said wearing around at the wide eyed staff or any sign of a smile he let the caller having what did you think you're doing cetera. Et CETERA. He began but then the a techno military might of the United States was brought up short. By the sound of sniffles. Whoever was on the phone was crying and shop suddenly realized it really was a child who really was trying to reach cynical? The Colonel Pause considered and then responded. Ho Ho Ho. He said as his crew looked on astonished. Of course this is Santa Claus. He talked talk to the youngster for several minutes. Hearing his wishes for toys and treats assuring him he would be there on Christmas. Then the boy ask Santa to bring him something Nice for his mommy I will I will Santa Shop said in fact close to your mommy now. The boy put his mother on the phone and shop. Went Back to business crisply explaining to the woman. Just what facility. There call had reached but she also had an explanation. The woman asked shop to look at that day's local newspaper specifically at a seers at emblazoned with the big picture of Santa that inviting kids to call me on my private phone and I will talk to you personally anytime day or night. The number provided m. e. two dash six six eight one went went right to one of the most secure phones in the country. It was a Typo one. Digit was wrong. When Xiaopeng up the phone rang again he ordered his staff to answer each Santa Call while he got on the phone? The black one this time with eighteen not to set up a new link to Washington. That might have been the end of it but a few nights later shop as was his tradition took his family to have Christmas Eve. Dinner with his on-duty troops when they walked into the control center. He spotted acute drawing on a board showing a sleigh pulled by eight unregistered reindeer. Coming over the top of the world the exchange range that followed became stuff of both family and air force alleged. What's that the commanding officer asked? Just having a little fun colonel. They answered waiting for the blow up. Shop pondered the offense. The team waited then. He ordered someone to get the community community. Relations officer and soon shop was on the phone to a local radio station. Conrad as the early iteration of NORAD was called hauled seemed to have picked up on an unidentified but distinctly sleigh shaped object. The radio station aided up and an enduring tradition was born. This Christmas Eve will mark the sixty third straight year. THAT NORAD will publicly track. Santa's sleigh on its global grounds. Millions of kids around the world can watch online or even they're smart speaker about Santa's whereabouts else as for shop. He went on to even higher ranks in the Air Force. Retiring as a wing. Commander he died ED in two thousand nine at age ninety one he was buried with flyover. F Sixteen fighters under a gravestone. Connotes his service in World War Two Korea in Vietnam. The last line reads Santa Colonel.
