>> reporter: a former fbi agent outlined the recruiting successes of isis around the world. miller brought it back home and says we already know what works. >> we should be empowering messengers, whether they are religious scholars, community leaders, to talk about the counter-narrative about terrorism the same way we do talking about the counter-narratives against the pitch that gangs give. >> reporter: they make promises about the benefits of joining that aren't true. he says the message of disgruntled former fighters needs to be part of the narrative. >> i think the same community policing tactics that have been effective against gangs would be effective against terrorism because you're dealing with the same pitch. >> reporter: miller says he's confident we can overcome the isis threat if we understand messaging is one of their most effective weapons.

steve: joining us, dr. manny alvarez. that's good news. how does this work? >> this is huge. this is research that is being supported by the center for alzheimer's research, a foundation that supports rockefeller university, the doctor who won the nobel prize in medicine. he has a cadre of scientists that have been working in alzheimer's. we know that alzheimer's affects about 5 million people. it's a devastating disease. we don't have any cures. we're beginning to understand better the mechanisms behind the disease. we know for a fact that amyloid plaques build up in your brain, they kill off the nerve cells. that destroys the memory pathways. how the amyloid gets made is the holy grail. there's a protein we know, it's a precursor for the plaque, but how that protein functions and the pathway, everything has a

protein that leads to the manufacturing of the plaque. that has never been identified and now the doctor has discovered those mechanisms of the pathways, which means that they were able to publish two huge papers, one explaining that pathway, but also explaining if you alter the pathway early in the game, you're able to change the production of this plaque and, therefore, you improve memory and they did this with animal studies. this is a huge discovery. all the scientists at rockefeller university that are working on this just -- they are fantastic. the foundation is really the mechanism behind supporting all this research. so, listen, we need to find a cure for alzheimer's. you need to support the right scientific research. if you think that this is

you, please support the fisher foundation. because this is a great thing and is bringing us closer more than ever to the cure for alzheimer's. great research. dari: i feel like i went to medical school. >> i tried to be simple. dari: but you make -- it's like medical school for dummies. you make everything understandable. that's what geniuses do. >> that's the gift of my hair-do. steve: thank you, dr. manny. let's talk weather. a step backwards. nick: in parts of the area. we were talking about this spread in temperatures that would be found in the northeast. you can clearly see that. look at the entire northeast. 80s and mid 80s philadelphia down to washington, d.c. 70s williamsport to pittsburgh. 60 around the city. 40s to albany. and it snowed in central and northern new england today. so while they had the snow, we had some showers and storms roll through.
