it stops but the good news is the first two inches melted. the ground was warm last night so things are better than they could be this morning but this ig snow we had on a work day. all the other snowstorms have been saturday or sunday or whatever. not on a weekday when people are trying to get to work. there s no cabs to be had this morning. you need to take the train if you re trying to get into the city for sure. 40 million people are affected by some type of warning. whether it s a blizzard warning, winlter weather advisory, winter storm warning, whatever. we have the schools closed in major cities. check with your local station because people are cancelling ahead of the storm and they re not taking chances with people today and almost 3,000 flights are already done for the day. that means the backlog. your fight isn t getting to new york city so it s not going to get to l.a. you re in l.a. say wrg is my plane?
and my impression when carter said that was hallelujah somebody in washington finally gets it. as you both know washington is a numbers town. they count stuff. even the pentagon is counting number of troops, number of weapons, trainers this kind of fight isn t about numbers. it s about strengths of will. ashe carter who is becoming very impressive nailed it because people fight for different things. in the united states state we fight for abstract concept. a constitution. we fight for our government. in the middle east governments have always been the enemy. they come and take your taxes, your sons they empower correct people to take their lands, sometimes they take their daughters. the soldiers don t feel much loyalty to the government accept for the shia militias. people fight for different things. arabs will fight for their faith.
issue with the will o of the iraqis to fight isil and defend themselves. an issue. that s putting it nicely. it seems to be a divide. last week you had the president saying we re showing success, everything is fine. nothing to see here. you have this defense secretary caught sort of on the street almost in this unscripted moment answering this question about isis. and the fight of the iraqi army. we asked lieutenant colonel ralph peters about this weird double talk from the administration. here s what he had to say. when he said that, hallelujah somebody in washington finally gets it. washington is a numbers town. they count stuff. even the pentagon is counting number of troops weapons and trainers. this kind of fight isn t about numbers, it s about strength of will. ashe carter who is becoming a very impressive secretary is making a point. we need to get into the minds
