a racist. >> it's a terrible, terrible nightmare. >> i'm very angry, and i'm very hurt. >> magic johnson, what does he got? he's got aids. >> why would he bring magic johnson into the issue about what's happening now? >> it's the apology interview that may need to have its own separate apology. what this means for the nba owner, the future of the team he still owns, and his wife. plus, it's primary day. voters hit the polls in two different states. we'll look at what the latest races can tell us about the state of the republican party and the ongoing war between the tea party and the gop establishment. let's start the family feud. what made solange lash out at jay z in an elevator, and beyonce stands by and watches. we start with donald sterling, whose public relations team might be having a bit of -- this afternoon. after he proved in a new

interview that his thoughts on black people captured in a roared phone call with his 30-something courtside companion, were just the tip of the iceberg. in the interview aired monday night sterling seemed to need very little prompting to spout out brand new racially inflammatory remarks, while he repeated his claims that he is, in fact, not a racist. at one point he calls his own words uneducated. mr. sterling actually appeared to double and even triple down on every single offensive word. he was particularly vocal when it came to former l.a. laker magic johnson, who you'll recall he disparaged in the original tape saying he didn't topt see the nba legend hanging around his mistress. now, before we play sterling's latest remarks, one of several involving johnson, let me caution you, they're quite insulting. so insulting that the nba commissioner felt the need to apologize to imagine nick a statement released after the interview in which sterling said this. >> what has he done? can you tell me? big magic johnson, what has he

done? >> well, he is a businessperson. he -- >> he has aids. did he do any business? i would like -- did he help anybody in south l.a.? >> i think it's h.i.v. he doesn't have full blown aids. >> what kind of guy has sex with every girl and he catches h.i.v., and is that someone we want to respect and tell our kids about? i think he should be ashamed of himself. i think he should go into the background, but what did he do for the black people? he doesn't do anything. >> well, while the hall of fame point guard was the focus of much of sterling's rant, he also had a few choice words for black people as a group. criticizing african-americans for, of all things, failing to be as generous and as enlightened as donald sterling. >> i'm giving away and helping minorities. does he do that? that's one problem i have. jews, when they get successful,

they will help their people, and some of the african-americans, maybe he'll get in trouble again, they don't want to help anybody. >> oh, but wait. there's more. this morning his estranged wife shelly made a family affair with her own eye-roling comments to "the "today" show." >> are you saying the nba is being sexist by pushing you out? >> would an owner's wife say the same thing and would the owner be asked to leave the nba? or would they just say, well, she is only the wife? >> joining me now public relations expert and founder of the greedo agency, margaret, and the senior writer for "time" sean gregory. okay. well, where to begin? there's so much. margaret, i'm going to start with you. just as a public relations matter, allowing donald sterling, who is known to be, let's just say, injudicial in his remarks on race to go on, do this interview with anderson

cooper, and cooper said right when he gave the interview, no lawyer present, no p.r. present. was that smart? >> it was the most ill-advised crisis media campaign i have ever seen in my over 20 years of doing p.r. and branding. it was a damaging, offensive interview. not only did he come out and offend further offend a community, marginalizing a community, he offended and brought in an individual who has nothing to do with this matter. i'm sure that any confirmation that the nba needed to remove the sterling family from ownership, they received during that interview. >> before i get your remarks on that, i want to listen more of donald sterling sxshs this is the part where he gets to what he actually had support. that is the crux of the issue as far as his future. let's listen to donald sterling saying, in fact, everyone supports him. >> the players don't hate me. the sponsors don't hate me. >> you don't believe the players -- >> the media hates. the media.

it's all the media. pushy. >> honestly, you really believe -- >> i believe it 100%. i believe it 100%. people call me by the thousands and have given me support. >> let's just start with the sponsors. they love him so much. they were fleeing before this interview aired, okay? the players, seriously, discussed possibly boycotting a playoff game, and they did that gesture where they reversed the jerseys. the owners, this is going down 29-0. i mean, he is getting shut out on this. if any owner votes in favor of donald sterling now and that gets out, that owner and that team is subject to a public relations nightmare and a revenue nightmare because sponsor wills start fleeing from that team. >> that's what gets to really the part that is really sort of -- i don't understand it because the whole idea of what donald sterling theoretically is trying to do is to prevent that 29-0 vote by essentially trying to humanize himself, walk back his comments. instead, he seems to have really sort of pushed himself beyond

the edge. this doesn't seem to be something he can disentangle now. >> magic johnson is a business and sports oracle. he is one of the most adored men in the world, you might say. particularly because of his accomplishments and particularly because of his championing and advocacy for h.i.v. for him to stand up and abuse and attack magic johnson just made it a bigger, larger issue. it speaks from the heart, the mouth speaks. we got a clear up front view of how donald sterling really thinks. it's really difficult for him to come forward and say i'm not a racist when everything he said throughout the interview he referenced the players as mine, as if they are property. everything that donald sterling has said has been wrong, and he really needs to reassess this fight and this battle and step away for the good of the entire league and the nba as in general. for him so state -- what's damage about this, joy, is he did say in his interview that

someone other has called him about the images that she put up on instagram. it's clear that there are other like-minded individuals within his orbit. however, those individuals don't run the nba. that's the issue. >> they're not subject to the constitution of the nba, and i think that's the key thing. i'm fwog play to the point thaw just made. mr. sterling basically talking about racism regarding himself and regarding anderson cooper. >>. >> there was a claim that is made that you have a plantation mentality, and now are you saying you feed these guys and -- >> i think you have more of a plantation mentality than i do. you know, i think you're more of a racist than i am because i'm not a racist, and i never have been a racist, and i'll never be a racist. >> i mean, in addition to this, sean, you know, in addition to the many other things he said, he said he intends to fight. essentially he has made it clear he wants to fight. he has nothing left to fight with, right sf. >> i think he almost indicated that it wasn't even worth fighting. he said, listen, if i'm going to spend millions and millions of

dollars to try to win myself back into this country club where he knows people don't like him, he might not put up a fight. now, rochelle -- excuse me -- shelly might do something very different. >> there is still an indication that she wants to hang on to this asset. >> well, at this point the sterling family are a liability to the entire nba. the brand of the nba cannot afford one team -- one cancerous team to taint the entire nba brand globally, so i don't think that they're going to fight this, particularly in light of this interview. at this point the fans are not going to support them. the advertisers are not going to support them. it's going to come down to the economics. the nba, after all, is a business, and they are bad for business zoosh i think the other thing, though, that does this shine a negative light -- not just on the nba. he has never spoken before? this doesn't sound like somebody who would have hid his views in the past if he would do it on television? i want to read you something that -- i have a really good piece that todd wrote for the

greo, and he said whether we individually call sterling a racist or not a racist shubt be of concern to anyone. sterling's record, the lawsuits, the accusations of racial discrimination, wrongful termination in a $3 million settlement to former black and hispanic tenants of apartment buildings he owned matters. the latter sum was the largest ever obtained by the justice department in a housing discrimination case involving apartment rentals, according to an l.a. times report back in 2009. this guy was a known quantity who has been harbored inside the nba. is he not a cancer now on really them as well? >> so the nba could never kick him out before because of the way the bilaws are written. it's not the conduct itself almost. it's the consequences of the conduct. after all, you would never convicted of any of this stuff. the sponsors weren't fleeing. you didn't get these boycotts. hearing and now seeing is believing, so now that we have this all on the record as plain as day, it's easier for the nba to act and not saying this

should not have been -- that they should not have acted previously, but the way the bylaws are written and david stern is a lawyer, and -- everyone knows the legalalities involved. there wasn't a ton they could do to terminate his ownership. >> you have to remember, joy, a part of brand and a pr strategy strategically to hide behind the way you really feel is the donation that is he made to the naacp. he can always point to that as, see, i'm not a racist, which is why the fall-out that happened with that director being fired or stepping down, whatever happened with him moving away, shows an indication that there was a clear alignment to really mask who donald sterling really is by him showing support because you can always point to the donation of a community, the very community that you batter. >> well, he certainly has been unmasked now, and that has happened as a result of donald sterling. thank you so much, sean, and margaret. thank you to you both for being here. all right. we have some quick breaking news to pass along from chicago. the faa has shut all flights

one month after 276 girls were kidnapped in northeastern nigeria, the united states is flying manned surveillance missions to try and find them. at the same time nigeria is

weighing whether or not to negotiate with the boko haram terrorists who took the girls in april. today new video obtained by nbc news shows just how well armed boko haram is and the level of threat they pose to the region. military officials in cameroon say the impressive weapons cache of rpg's, mortars, ak had-47s and anti-aircraft weapons was seized from boko haram three weeks ago, just after the school girls were kidnapped. video released monday by boko haram showing what's believed to be more than 100 of the kidnapped girls has now been viewed by some family members, including one mother who says she spotted her daughter among the girls sitting on the ground and wearing veils. the head of one civic group in the reasonable told the a.p. he believes the government is likely to communicate the next course of action if some family members verify that their children appear in the video. as this crisis continues and the international spotlight remains on nigeria's government, the question is what steps will be taken and what, if anything, can be done to combat boko haram?

joining me now is carl liven, assistant professor at the school of international science at american university in washington d.c. sir, thank you so much for being here. i want to start with the fact that you actually are a person who is not just an expert on the region or on boko haram, but someone in whom the state department has actually confided. you wrote a letter in may of 2002 when hillary clinton was secretary of state potentially saying not to designate boko haram at that time at least as a terror organization, and this is what you wrote. you wrote an designation which means foreign terrorist organization designation, would internationalize boko haram, legitimatize abuses by nigeria's security services, limit the state department's latitude in shaping a long-term strategy, and undermine the u.s. government's ability to receive effective independent analysis from the region." now that boko haram has certainlily internationalized itself by taking these girls and sparking this international outcry, have you changed your mind about really how they should be designated at least by the united states? >> well, thank you for having me on the program, joy.

the important thing is that the state department changed its mind, and it's changed its mind based on evolving intelligence and based on a situation in nigeria that spiralled downward, and, unfortunately, many of the things that we were very concerned about happened independent of the fto designation issue in 2012, such as the internationalization of the group and such as an escalation of the cycle of violence between the state and between the boko haram islamic radical insurgents. you know, we're facing a very dire situation now, and the eyes of the world are all watching those girls and the desperate situation that they are in right now. >> sir, i think when we learned from the cameroon government just how well armed boek row har am essentially is, that set a lot of alarms to a lot of americans, particularly as u.s. military flights begin over that country to try to find the girls. just how dangerous is this

organization? >> they're a lethal and surprisingly random organization. they have staged attacks on the u.n. headquarters in abuga. they staged attacks at the department of state security. the -- one of the most secure government facilities in nigeria, and before that there was a long string of attacks on police stations and other government install aings. aside from the harder targets, there have also been, as everyone knows now, attacks on schools and attacks on civilians. just a few years -- just a few weeks ago there were attacks at a motor park for commuters who go into abuja, and those attacks were followed up not too long ago by additional attacks. i have spent time there, and this is a place where civil servients might gather before they commute into the city. it's -- they would be proving themselves to be a lethal organization, and the region is awash in arms. this makes the small arms issue

and the lethal small arms issue and essentially a part of the solution that regional collaboration will have to confront. >> one thing this group has done and their leaders do this per version of what they're calling islam, and, of course, muslim leaders around the world are saying it's not. they are using that religious sort of pretext to attack civilians in their own country. i want to play you a soundbyte of a young woman who was a very many of boko haram not related to this specific incident, but she told her story, and take a listen to that. let's talk about that. >> they issued him -- if my brother say he would grow up and become a pastor like my dad, so the leader told him to join and to go ahead and shoot him twice in his chest, and then he fall down, and -- >> i was -- i was in shock. i don't know what was happening.

>> without any international notice for a very long time, clearly. what has the nigerian government -- >> it's a very important shift, i think, in the last couple of weeks. the nigerian government has generally responded with a very heavy handed response. this began in 2009 when the leader of boko haram at that time hamid youssef was summarily executed and his execution was broadcast in public view, and so that started a tit for tat game, if you will -- very deadly game between government and between boko haram, and so boeko -- and so the government has spooneded to boko haram by declaring a state of emergency in three northern states. yobi, adamala and borno, and today president goodluck john

than requested a continuation of that state of emergency. this is one of the reasons for the outrage in the bring back our girls movement is that many of the families of the victims and many civil society leaders and human rights activists have saying how can it be possible to move 270 odd girls in the middle of the night in a state that is already under a state of emergency with an expanded military presence? this is directed a great deal more frustration at the nigerian government, and this is what led them, i think, to change their position about the role of the international community. >> yeah. indeed. not to mention the fact that the goodluck jonathan government has not exactly been open to the protest. they've actually been trying to stop those too. i think it's a lot to talk about. hopefully, sir, you will come back. there's a lot more to talk about. i think every parent cares about this story. thank you, sir. >> thank you, joy. >> thank you. >> coming up, the anti-government clooien bundy militia who continued to occupy deposit lands and are now looking for a handout.

. still ahead president obama presents a medal to kyle jay white. we'll bring you the entire ceremony live during the next hour. now it's time for we the tweeple. casey case up, one of the most beloved figures in radio is missing. his name is trending with the news of that. an l.a. judge also ordered a search for him. revelations that casey's wife and children are battling over the 82-year-old who suffers from a condition called louie body dementia. his children allege that he was removed from his home by his wife before he vanished. judging by her social media toast posts will always have a soft spot in our hearts for the host of american top 40 and the voice of "shaggy on scooby doo." we hope he is found soon. something else on your mind is the mocking of the missing

nigerian school girls. when first lady michelle obama tweeted this picture with the bring back our girls hash tag, many of awe mrauded her solidarity with the movement to find them, but many on the right took this opportunity to make fun of the lady and the movement. ann coulter tweeted this "bring back our country." many of you released a tyrade of spoof tweets in response. here's a good one. yes, many people on social media are saying this does seem like a cry for attention and it's totally uncalled for. the bring back our girls movement is not an excuse for right wing snark, something john stewart made very clear last night on "the daily show." here's his response to rush limbaugh's attempts to put down the twitter activists supporting the missing girls. >> you know what, rush, you're right. sometimes the world has to choose sides. let's see our choices are. uh-huh. that's mulalla expressing solidarity with the victims of this outrage. what's our other choice? oh, right. that [ bleep ] guy.

jo he also invited viewers to tweet who -- he really stuck it to limbaugh, and many of you on-line agreed. the plight of the nigerian school girls is not fodder for part zan politics. now to another scene of political shen an begans. the bundy ranch. the militia surrounding the cliven bundy compound had been in the news recently for reportedly terrorizing nearby residents with their firearms and illegal checkpoints. many of you are wondering how have they been able to afford to control his ranch for weeks? it turns out the answer is you. some bundy supporters have turned to crowd funding sites like go fund me to raise money as they set and around "protect cliven bundy's cows." the same guy that is owed the government millions in fines for refusing to pay the grazing fees for said cattle has attracted people who want hand-outs. go figure. you can go to the conversation with instagram, and please keep telling us what's important to you. first, now this news.

[whistle] purina pro plan. nutrition that performs. >> speaker boehner and some of the other leaders there do believe that immigration reform is the right thing, but they've got to have a political space that allows them to go ahead and get it through their caucus and get it done. >> that was president obama just a few hours ago at the white house appearing with law enforcement officials trying to press the need for immigration reform. many people in washington besides the president want it to happen, but it's been completely stalled. the reason in internal gop

politics. specifically the kind of tea party versus main stream dynamic that we're seeing at work today in the nebraska senate primary. the nebraska and west virginia primaries are two of the big political events happening today, but it's nebraska where we see a microcosm of what ails the gop. outside spending groups, check. debt ceiling politics, check. sarah palin, ted cruz, and their idealogical brethren, check, check, and check. it was immigration this morning where one candidate drew a particularly harsh line in the sand. during an interview with msnbc, chuck todd asked shane ozborne to explain his support for a cap on legal immigration. this is part of ozborne's response. >> what my concern is the 20 plus million unemployed americans, why aren't we worried about them first? let's get toes people back to work. let's become north american energy, and then we can worry about those other things. hopefully we can grow this economy to the point that we do someday need to increase it, but right now today is not that day.

>> joining me now the greo columnist goldie taylor and hogan gidley. i'm going to go to you first. you will abdicate 2016 if the party doesn't change its mind and decide to do immigration reform? do you agree with that? >> i wouldn't say we need to change our mind. we just need to be more forceful in what we belief in. there are lots of republicans and south carolina a great example who believe we need immigration reform. newt gingrich talked about this. we can't ship all these people out of this country. rick santorum said the same thing. i think there are a lot of republicans beginning to shift their mind on this, the mentality. i remember when i was e.d. of the south carolina party years ago, lindsey gram was talking about pushing immigration reform under george bush, and he good booed out of our silver elephant dinner. now people are saying we need this, we want a seat at the table, and remember, i told republicans this consistently. if you refuse to have a seat at the table, you're going to be on the menu. this is going to get through one way or the other, and if we don't put our ideas forward and

try and be part of this legislation, i think we're going to be in big trouble in 16 for shoor. >> i think at the same time that you hear hogan saying it's a perfect reasonably viewpoint, you have people like shane ozbourne saying he feels like the way to get ahead of his opponent is to push not just against immigration reform, but against legal immigration. >> you know, unfortunately, the political space that the president is looking for on a gop side of the aisle on this issue really doesn't exist. the fracturing is far too deep. it isn't that both parties don't recognize the comprehensive immigration reform is necessary and it's what it really looks like. do we want to get a guest worker program or. there are some real fault lines that i don't think can be bridged. certainly prior to the 2014 election, and it will leave republicans really, you know, on the outside of this issue looking in. it's for getting something signed into law by the president. >> can you take a step back even

further. part of the other sort of bigger problem that's happening within your political party is this fight from the establishment versus the tea party which one could argue is a part of the party holding back things like immigration reform. let's look again in nebraska. you do have a proxy fight within that senate primary of the mcconnell versus anti-mcconnell forces. ben actually working with the senate conservative fund. the -- mitch mcconnell is the primarying republican. let's take a listen to ben hitting mitch mcconnell in an act. take a listen. >> it is time for every republican in washington, starting with minority leader mitch mcconnell, to show some actual leadership on this issue by voluntarily giving up their health care subsidy. >> and meanwhile, freedom works withdrew support for shane ozborne, his opponent, and then actually endorsed ben sasse. he said at this point it's clear that shane ozbourne formed allegiances with mitch mcconnell and the k street lobbying class." when you have a big tea party group like freedom works and you

have groups like the senate conservatives fund, running so hard against their own side, against their senate minority leader, is that a fault line the republican party can recover from in time for 2014 elections? >> they can if the actual nominee is able to rally all the voters behind him and to a common cause post-election, post-primary. look, sasse was obviously endorsed, as you mentioned, by the ted cruzs, by the sarah palins, and he was also a bush appointee. he has some establishment pedigree behind him as well. i think a lot of the media want to put these things into simple boxes, and i'm not criticizing them. it's much easier to report when it's tea party versus establishment. in these particular races, they're all fighting for different spaces within the republican party, and treer trying to say that their vision and their brand of conservativism is the one that can win. sometimes that works from a more tea party slant as it could potentially in nebraska whereas a more establishment slant in a state like florida may be better. it all matters. it just matters to varying

degrees in each state, depending on the election itself. >> very quickly, do you think democrats in the southern states or in these red states are hoping tea party candidates win or that an established candidate that might drive more tea partiers to stay home. >> i think they're looking for people on the far right fringe to be nominated, but the fact of the matter is that isn't happening. what's happening here in georgia, you're signing more main line conservatives like mr. purdue running ahead of the pack and so you are finding some of the more fringe candidates, you know, that we thought will be in the forefront really not being as successful as maybe we thought they were. what we're not finding in any of the races on that side of the aisle is a transformative candidate who can bring together all the fractures on the conservative wing of the party. what you are finding, however, are the transactional candidates, these business and establishment candidates that are cowto youing to what they think the grassroots topt hear

today. >> he will attest to that for you. goldie taylor, my friend, thanks to both of you for being there. >> basically this video made the intbt explode. we'll talk jay bay and one angry sister next.

system. we will discipline and prosecute the people involved in our fullest capacity zoosh what do you know about how that video got out? >> have i an inside source that i can't name. he wants to be off the record. they don't know how the video got out. there will never be audio of the video because it does not exist. tmz acquired this video. it's lived in their system for about seven days. any of them can access to this who is in a senior position at the holtz. the video came out yesterday on tmz. it's everywhere. the hotel, they are shocked. the public just gave us that statement there. shocked. they are going to prosecute the individual involved. whoever got that video out there, hopefully they made a lot of money because they're going to be to be in a lot of the trouble. >> let's get to the content. obviously this took over the intpt. i'm sure it's taken over the greo.com. >> my life. >> as well as our lives. what do we know about anything at all about what caused the conflict? do we have any information about that? >> i mean, there are so many rumors out there right now. people are speculating it could be infidelity issues. you know, solange defending her sister. what makes a sister fight for

her other sibling? it could be something like infidelity or just a feud between jay sfwl and solange. she recently left rock nation to start her own record label saint records. it could have been a dispute about a record label. solange and beyonce and jay z are all cognizant. they are the royal family of hip-hop and pop culture in general, and this event is like the prom for adults. you come there, and you are in your fancy outfits and your costumes. you don't fight when you are dressed like that, and you don't fight when you are a knowles. whatever it is that made her do that, it has to be huge. >> that's what i was thinking. they have to be aware that there are cameras, there are security systems in an elevator. it is strange. you do see jay z and beyonce being very studied in the way they're behaving, maybe cognizant that there are cameras. >> beyonce is dressed. she couldn't fight if she wanted to. she was wearing double-sided tape. she wouldn't fight. still, i think the way that she stood back and watched solange fight, it was almost as if it was okay for her or she's seen

it happen before. we don't know why they were fighting. >> then you have this other piece. beyonce actually -- her instagram post the day after the fight in which she says give me discernment and -- to separate myself from anyone who is not a good influence. >> she put a prayer up there, and it was, like, lord, i release all my relationships to you. that was a couple of days later. since then, solang', as this video was released yesterday, went nationwide. she went through her personal instagram and deleted every trace of beyonce. there were dozens of photos of beyons convey and her. she took them all down except for one. >> i don't even know where to begin. >> there's a feud happening right now. >> unbelievable. we have to go. unfortunately, we don't have any more time. we have a ceremony at the white house. i indispensable in situations supper as these. we are now going to go to the medal of honor ceremony which is beginning right now. we'll take to you the live. the president is speaking. for more than 12 years with our nation at war, the men and

women of our armed forces have known the measure of the danger that comes with military service, but year after year tour after tour they are displayed a selfless willingness to incur it by stepping forward by serving and sacrificing greatly to keep us all safe. today our troops are coming home. by the end of this year our war in afghanistan will be over, and we'll welcome home this generation. the 9/11 generation that has proven itself to be one of america's greatest. today we pay tribute to a soldier who embodies the courage of his generation. a young man who was a freshman in high school when the twin towers fell and who just five years later became an elite paratrooper with legendary 173rd

airborne. today we present our nation's highest military decoration, the medal of honor, to sergeant kyle j. white. kyle is the second sky soldier to be recognized with the medal of honor for service above and beyond the call of duty in afghanistan. today he joins staff sergeant salvatore jumta and previous honor years. members of the medal of honor society, some of whom are with us here today. we have a lot of v.i.p.'s here, but i would like to acknowledge the most important. it's kyle's parents. sheryl and curt and kyle's girlfriend helen. i am told that back home in bonnie lake, washington, when kyle wanted to enlist, at first he had set his sights on the marines, but his dad, curt, is a

veteran of the army special forces, so i'm told there was a difference of opinion. i suspect a good family discussion. as xhashtd in chief, i cannot take sides in this debate. bottom line is kyle joined the army. in doing so, he carried on his family's proud tradition of service which found it's expression on a november day over six years ago. across afghanistan base commanders were glued to their radios listening as american forces fought back and ambushed in the rugged mountains. one battalion commander remembered all of afghanistan was listening as the soldier on the ground described what was happening. they knew him by his call sign, charlie one six romeo. we know it was kyle who at the time was just 20 years old and only 21 months into his military

service. earlier that afternoon kyle and the 13 members of his team along with a squad of afghan soldiers left an afghan village after meeting with elders. the americans made their way back up a steep hill. single-file along a narrow path. a cliff rising to their right and a slope of rocky shale dropping on their left. they knew not to stop, that had he they had to keep moving. they were headed into an area known as ambush alley, and that's when a single shot range out. then another. then an entire canyon erupted with bullets coming from what seemed like every direction. it was as if kyle said the whole valley lit up. the platoon returned fire. kyle quickly emptied a full magazine, but as he went to load a second, an enemy grenade exploded and knocked him unconscious. he came to with his face pressed against a rock, and as he moved to get up, enemy rounds hit a

rock just inches from his head sending shrapnel and rock shards across his face. most of the unit had been forced to slide down the cliff to the valley below, but kyle saw a teammate, specialist kane schilling trying to treat his own shattered army using a tree as cover. he described it as the small e trees on earth. he began applying a turn cat shielding kane with his own body as gunfire shredded that tree. then kyle saw another man down. marine sergeant phillip box in the open 30 feet behind them he was too injured to reach cover. kyle remembers thinking it's just a matter of time before i'm dead. if that's going to happen, i might as well help someone while i can. with bullets impacting all around him, kyle ran to box and began to pull the injured marine to cover. worried that he had exposed box to more gunfire, kyle retreated. the enemy rounds followed him.

he ran out again pulling box a little farther. what's more, he retreated to distract the enemy fire. once more he went out over and over thinking to himself i'm not going to mam make it. kyle could feel the pressure of the rounds going by him, but somehow miraculously they never hit him. not once. one of his teammates said it was as if kyle was moving faster than a speeding bullet. finally, kyle succeeded in pulling his comrade to cover. tragically they were tl on that cliff sergeant box succumb to his wounds, but in his final moments the american marine surely found some solace in kyle white, the american soldier who until the very end was there by his side. now, that other injured soldier kane schilling was still out there, and he had sustained another injury. this time to his knee. kyle ran out once more to kane's side. kyle ripped off his own belt for a turn kit and soon got his hands on a working radio.

the voice of charlie one six romeo came into base. kyle took charge and ordered the afghan soldiers to form a security perimeter. he called in a medivac and made sure kaern and the others were safely on board, and only then did kyle finally allow himself to be lifted out. kyle looked out the window watching the darkness as they pulled away from that single tree on the cliff. when you are deployed, he later said, those people become your family. what you really care about is i want to get this guy to the left and to the right home.

this family was tested that day. we remember them today. sergeant philippe yea box, captain matthew c. ferraraa, and sergeant jeffrey s.merzman, corporal lester g.rocqui, and corporal sean k.a. longsmith. some of their families are here today. i would ask them to please stand so we can recognize their extraordinary sacrifice. [ applause ]

the legacy of these fallen heroes endures, and the courage and strength of their unit. 14 men forever brothers in arms. we're proud to welcome those who fought so valiantly that day. specialist kane schilling, the soldier that kyle saved, and members of the second battalion chosen company of the 173rd airborne brigade, would you please stand? [ applause ]

>> we honor kyle white for his extraordinary action on that november day, but his journey from that day to this speaks to the story of his generation. kyle completed the rests of a 15-month deployment in afghanistan. he came back home and trained other young paratroopers as they prepared to deploy. when he completed his service, kyle decided to pursue a different dream, and with the help of the post-9/11 g.i. bill, he went to college and graduated and today works for a bank in charlotte, north carolina. when kyle walks boo the office every day, people see a man in a suit headed to work, and that's how it should be. a proud veteran walking into his community and contributing his talents and skills to the progress of our nation. but kyle will tell you that the transition to civilian life and dealing with the post-traumatic stress hasn't always been easy.

more than six years later he can still see the images and hear the sounds of that battle. every day he wakes up thinking about his battle buddies, and if you look closely at that man in the suit on his way to work, you'll notice the piece of war that he carries with him tucked under his shirt sleeve. the stainless steel bracelet around his wrist etched with the names of his six fallen comrades who will always be with him. their sacrifice motivates me, he says, to be the best i can be. everything i do in my life is done to make them proud. kyle, members of chosen company, you did your duty, and now it's time for america to do ours. after more than a decade of war, to welcome you home with the support and the benefits and the opportunities you have earned. you make us proud. you make -- you motivate all of us to be the best we can be as americans, as a nation to uphold our sacred obligations to your

generation and all who have faced that measure of danger and the willingness to incur. may god bless you and may your courage inspire and sustain us always and may god continue to bless the united states of america. with that i would like to have the citation read. >> the president of the united states of america authorized by act of congress march 3, 1863, has awarded in the name of congress the medal of honor to specialist kyle j. white, united states army. specialist kyle j. white distinguished himself by act of gallantry and -- at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a

radio telephone operator with company c, second battalion airborne 503rd infantry regiment, 173rd airborne brigade during combat operations against an armed enemy in afghanistan on november 9, 2007. on that day specialist white and his comrades were returning to bela outpost from assura with village elders as the soldiers traversed a narrow path surrounded by mountainous rocky terrain, they were ambushed by enemy forces from elevated positions. pinned against a steep mountain face, specialist white and his fellow soldiers were completely exposed to enemy fire. specialist white returned fire and was briefly knocked unconscious when a rocket propelled grenade impacted near him. when he regained consciousness, another round impacted near him embedding small pieces of shrapnel in his face.

shaking off his wounds, specialist white noticed one of his comrades lying wounded nearby. without hesitation, specialist white exposed himself to enemy fire in order to reach the soldier and provide medical aid. after applying a turn cat, specialist white moved to an injured marine providing aid and comfort until the marine succumbed to his wounds. specialist white then returned to the soldier and discovered that he had been wounded again. applying his own belt as an additional turniquette, he was able to stem the flow of blood and save the soldier's life. noticing that his and the other soldier's radios were inoperative, specialist white exposed himself to enemy fire yet again in order to secure a radio from a deceased comrade. he then provided information and updates to friendly forces allowing precision air strikes to stiffle the enemy's attack and ultimately permitting

medical evacuation aircraft to rescue him, his fellow soldiers, marines, and afghan army soldiers. specialist kyle j. white, extraordinary heroism, and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and request great credit upon himself, company c, second battalion airborne 503rd, 173rd airborne brigade and the united states army.
