navigated the urgent challenges of recent years, from ending our combat mission in afghanistan to leading the international coalition to destroy isil conducting humanitarian operations from typhoon relief in the philippines to fighting ebola in west africa and strengthen our security alliances from europe to asia. at every step you have been critical to our processes and i have valued not only your counsel but your friendships. at the same time marty and sandy have helped guide our forces through difficult fiscal times, especially sequestration. they have stayed focus on readiness, training and modernization. today, also more opportunities for women in our armed forces we are tackling the outrage of sexual assault, which has no place in our ranks. we have made progress in large part because leaders like marty and sandy have made sure we are recruiting and training and equick and training the best fighting force on the planet. i look forward to honoring marty

and sandy and thanking them more fully for their extraordinary contributions to their nation -- to our nation there are other things we are going to miss. we are going to miss marty's incomparable singing voice. he will not be singing today. but i'm going to put my request in early for a final number at your farewell. but on behalf of myself our entire national security team and our armed forces thank you. and to beanie and mary we are grateful for your family service. [ applause ] my choice for the next chairman of the joint chiefs general joe dunford is one of the most admired officers in our military. a native of boston joe is the very definition of boston strong. the son of a retired boston

police officer and marine veteran of korea, joe followed in his father's footsteps and has distinguished himself through nearly 40 years of military service. he has commanded marines in the field from the platoon level to a marine expeditionary force during the invasion of iraq he led marines in the charge to baghdad. given his combat ex-peer enwhy, i was proud to nominate joe as the command -- as the commander of american and coalition forces in afghanistan. i have had a chance to work with him. i have been extraordinarily impressed by joe, from the situation room where he helped to shape our enduring commitment to afghanistan, to my visit last year to baghram, where i saw his leadership firsthand. i know joe. i trust him. he has already proven his ability to give me his unvarnished military advice based on his experience on the ground. under his steady hand we

achieved key milestones including the transition to afghan responsibility for security, hist tore afghan elections and the drawdown of u.s. forces, setting the stage for our combat mission there. so, joe is a proven leader of our joint force, including our troops in afghanistan, who he served christmas dinner to. he is one of our military's most highly regarded strategic thinkers. he is known and respected by our allies, by members of congress, on both sides of the aisle and by colleagues across our government. he is also tireless. his staff has been known to carry around a voice recorder to keep up with his commands and new ideas. he just began his service as commandant of his beloved marine corps, so, joe, i appreciate your willingness to take on this new assignment. i think the only downside in my book is as a white sox fan, there is great another red sox fan who i'm going to have to be dealing with. and i want to thank you and your wife ellen, for your continued

service. in general paul si almost va, we have a vice chairman with 35 years of military service, as both a pilot and commander. as leader of air mobility command, he earned a reputation as a force for change and innovation. i understand when it was time to deliver the final c-17 to the air force, paul went to the cockpit and helped fly it himself. as head of transportation command, he has been committed to the partnerships that are a core principle of our national security strategy whether it is supplying our joint force around the world, in operations large and small, to supporting and keeping safe our diplomats and embassy personnel overseas. paul also served as secretary of state clinton's military adviser for the first years of my presidency, so he grasps the strategic environment in which our forces operate. he understands that our military, as powerful as it is is one tool that must be used in concert with all the elements of our national power. i should note that as a graduate

of the air force academy, paul is especially grateful to the academy because it's there that he met his wife ricky, who also served in the air force. paul and ricky, thank you both for taking on this next chapter of your service together. joe, paul, we continue to call on our armed forces to continue to meet a range of challenges. with to have keep training afghan forces and remain relentless against al qaeda. we have to push back against isil and strengthen forces in syria and build moderate opposition in syria. we have to stand united with our allies in europe and keep rebalancing our posture as a pacific power. we have to keep investing in new capabilities to meet growing threats, include be cyber attacks. so as commander in chief, i will be looking to you for your honest military advice as we meet these challenges, as we do we are also going to keep working with congress on a more responsible approach to defense

spending including reforms in the department so we can preserve the readiness of our all-volunteer force, keep faith with our troops and our military families and care for our wounded warriors. this work we have to do together as a nation. again, to joe, to paul to your families, on behalf of the american people, thank you for your continued service to our nation. i urge our friends in the senate and i know i won't have a problem with jack reed who is sitting right here to confirm these remarkable leaders without delay so we can stay focused on the work that unites us all as americans, keeping our military strong, our nation secure our citizens safe. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> president obama naming his nominees to the new chairman of the joint chiefs and vice chairman. i'm in nevada where hillary clinton is going to be campaigning later today, but first, this breaking news out of washington. i'm joined now by my colleague,

white house correspondent, kristen welker and our chief pentagon correspondent, jim miklaszewski. kristen, this is such an important post and joe dunford has every credential. in normal times, this would be an easy confirmation barring anything unforeseen. >> it should be andrea by the president's own words, the outgoing chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, marty dempsey, who is going to be refiring october, leaves some pretty big shoes to fill. and by all accounts general dunford is just the man to do that. he is combat tested who led marines in both iraq and afghanistan, was the chief commander of all international coalition forces there in afghanistan at a very tough time during the presidential elections there and as the drawdown of forces began, and he was removed from that job early to take over as the marine corps commandant. and i can tell you that his supporters say dunford is a

brilliant strategist and tactician, as well as leader. that he is just as comfortable in a boardroom as he is on the battlefield. and everybody is predicting a very quick and easy confirmation, andrea. >> and kristen welker the relationship between barack obama and martin dempsey, mick alluded to it, really really close, closer than it might have even been otherwise because secretary of defense chuck hagel, was an outlier in the cabinet and dempsey was the point person he turned to during very critical times. >> you're absolutely right, andrea, and that really underscores the point that mick was making. he is leaving big shoes to fill but a senior administration official tells me that dunford is perceived as being one of president obama's closest military confidants, that president obama seeing him as a marine's marine and that he is specifically impressed by his leadership skills. he has, as mick alluded to led

u.s. forces in afghanistan, in iraq and it is widely expected that he will be confirmed. he has the respect of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. in act if a, andrea, i will read you this from senator lindsey graham who says "general dunford is a proven leader commanding forces in afghanistan, with a deep understanding of the national security challenges we face. certainly, there are many including and especially the fight against isis." andrea, back to you. >> that, of course a key enforcement from such an important member of the armed services committee on the republican side. thanks, both of you. and here in las vegas, happy cinco demy yoerks at a predominantly hispanic high school that hillary clinton is going to be visiting today to talk about immigration reform and a path to citizenship. but her campaign is also launching a new defense today online against all of those questions about clinton foundation fund-raising. it is an i shall a you of trust that is also showing up in our new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll. joining me now for our daily fix is john rolston, political analyst, veteran here host of

rolston live spent decades covering nevada politics and ann guerin, covering the clinton campaign for the washington because. first to you john. this whole question of trust, it is showing erosion in our nbc news/"wall street journal" poll. now only 25% of those polled say that she is honest and trustworthy and this is after she has been hammered by the book that is officially coming out today, "clinton cash." what are people here saying about this? >> i think the same thing as they are everywhere, they are concerned about it. democrats try to slough it off, right, but you have to be concerned. and her husband did not do her any favors with that interview in africa where he said i got to pay our bills, blame the media, says there's no facts to support this of course this is probably not going to be helped you well know, she goes and testifies before that committee in a few weeks about benghazi. something clearly happening may

in 2015, as opposed to september of 2016 but they have to do something about this and that's why that campaign you alluded to has started. >> and anne gearan the interview, nbc's exclusive interview that cynthia mcfadden conducted and bill clinton, defensive, lashing out at critics and what is holding up for hillary clinton though i should say in the new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll, head-to-head, she still leads most republicans in single digits. scott walker by double digits by ten points. so, that lead is holding up. she is still certainly the most dominant democratic candidate. >> right. and we shouldn't forget that but the erosion was marked. and you can see the kind of reaction that the campaign is having and hillary clinton's defenders beyond the campaign, they really ramp it had up in the last few days must be seeing the same kind of things that your poll picked up which

is you know there are two things people say, we think she will be a good president but fewer people that the last time it was measured said that they trust her on any number of fronts. so, that is worrisome to the campaign. >> and that's why the campaign clearly is today launching a new online campaign a new website, a new social media campaign. they are confronting this to try to rebut "clinton cash," the book by peter schweitzer and to try to get ahead of these continuing criticisms. this is what mike huckabee had to say certainly alluding to the clinton foundation in hope, arkansas, the birthplace of both mike huckabee and bill clinton, the man from the original man from hope. huckabee becoming the next republican to launch his campaign today. here's what he had to say. >> i don't have a global foundation or a taxpayer-funded paycheck to live off of. i don't come from a family dynasty, but a working family. i grew up blue collar not blue

blood. >> and so this is the kind of thing the republicans are going to keep hammering away at. and legitimate news media stories, all the major organizations, including our own, cynthia mcfadden's interview, raising questions, peter schweitzer acknowledges now that there's no smoking gun, but he has become sort of like an opposition research playbook for any news organization taking off from "clinton cash," the book. >> i think, andrea very few people who don't already have an opinion of hillary clinton, so a lot of what this does is reinforce things and mike huckabee, of course one of the blos blib guys out there and going to be able to make these jokes, but hillary clinton was never going to win the presidential election if it was just a referendum on hillary clinton. she is going to make the election a choice. that's what you do when you have the kinds of negatives that she has amassed over the years. i don't think any of these polls, while i agree with ann, all the polls i have seen are

legitimate show her leading, i don't think that means that much. it is all going to be about the execution of the campaign. we have 18 months to go we are crazy people. wither following this now. most americans are not. >> and of course you alluded to cynthia's interview. this is part of what bill clinton told her when she was asking about these very questions. >> not a single, solitary fact has been introduced that she has done anything wrong. people should live to be as honest as she is. >> and just the subject here john, about the hispanic vote. written about it today, this school is 70% hispanic. going to meet with some young dreamers, in fact one who had been at the white house and melt with president obama. and she is true iing to say unlike jeb bush and marco rubio who have real roots in the hispanic community, unlike previous republican presidential

nominees, she actually is going to do something on a path to citizenship. >> and of course the hispanic vote is huge here. you mentioned the dim mow graphics of this school optimistic democrats in this state, andrea say maybe 20% of the nevada electorate in november 2016 is going to be hispanic. now, hillary of course saying that she wants a bath to citizenship, she has to stake out that territory in this campaign. republicans are already pointing out that she has a little bit of a checkered record on immigration. of course you remember the flip-flop on driver licenses for undocumented immigrants. here in nevada republican governor a couple of years ago signed a bill allowing what are called driver's privilege cards, driver authorization cards for undocumented immigrants, she has no choice in my opinion to stake this out it could really help her. obama won the hispanic vote 2 1/2, 3:1 here she needs to do the same thing i would say. >> very briefly, is it a mistake for them to take on this "clinton cash" book so firmly?

>> i think they have to. they have to be able to do two things at once so they are making hispanic outreach they are doing something else tomorrow, doing something else the week after that. but this is going to stay with her. hef got to keep hitting back on t yes, sometimes it distracts from their daily message, from their perspective, they have got to keep doing t >> ann guerin jon ralston, thanks for having you here. up next bob corker on the nuclear deal with iran and his bill to give congressional oversight of it. plus, a top clinton campaign official will be here on why nevada is so critical to them. you are watching "andrea mitchell reports," live from las vegas. hello! this little beauty here is top-of-the-line. see, you just pull like this to go left. and like so to go right. where are the brakes? uh, just grab ahold of both and pull straight back. and the "whoa!" is optional. you wouldn't buy a motorcycle without handlebars. no thanks. and you shouldn't ride a motorcycle without geico insurance. roadside assistance, 24 hour service,

the senate is debating a bill that would give congress the power to review any final

nuclear deal negotiated with iraq -- excuse me with iran. despite effort buys a handful of conservative republicans who want to blow up this bipartisan compromise. and joining me now is senator bob corker chairman of the foreign relations committee and co-author of the compromise. senator, great to see you. thanks so much for being with us today. >> andrea always good to be with you. thank you. >> now, that is iran nuclear deem is being negotiated and a deadline, we are told june 30th we don't know if that's moving target you have to had to deal with your own conservatives, republicans, like tom cotton, the author of that 47 senate letter to the ayatollah who tried to blow up this compromise. do you have the votes now to pass this? you need some democratic support. >> yeah, and i'm not sure that senator cotton is trying to blow it up but look we have got 67 sponsors of this legislation that came out of committee, 19-0. we have been working on this

since last july. and andrea i do believe that we are going to be successful in passing it out of committee. i think what the 90-plus votes should we get to that up and down vote this week. so i still think we are going to be successful and i think the american people you and your listening audience want congress to be able to review any deal. they don't want the president to go directly to the u.n. security council. they want to put a stay on his ability to lift the sanctions that we put in place through congress and they want congress to decide whether they think this is a good or bad thing. so it's a very common sense, as you mentioned, bipartisan piece of legislation and i think it's gonna back law. >> now, you certainly -- you didn't have much warning that he was going to go to the floor with some suggested amendments though last thursday when he did it. what about some of his objections that iran should stop doing what it's doing in the strait of hormuz that iran should stop supporting bashar al

assad in syria that iran has been taking actions in yemen and supporting the rebel there is. why do a nuclear deal with them when they are arguably misbehaving around the region? >> i couldn't agree more iran is a major exporter of terrorism in then i don't think there is anybody in the senate that doesn't agree with that and believe that and certainly, some of the things they have done recently in the strait shouldn't be done. their human rights record is terrible, developing ballistic weapons, some of the thing it is appears we agreed to fordo, iraq concerns folks, how are we going to get in and know they are not developing a nuclear weapon in a covert way? i share the concerns. the bill before us andrea is not one that says grace over the qualitative aspects of what iran is doing it just puts congress which gave away its ability to weigh in flew the national

security waivers that were given to the president four times since 2010 what it does is bring us back into the equation to allow us to assess the very things that you're talking about right now that many of us do have concerns about. >> there's a lot of reporting that saudi arabia the uae and others in the gulf who are so worried about iran, adversaries of iran, now demanding that the u.s. give them advance weapon rick that they might not otherwise have gotten to help them protect against iran. this could lead to weapons proliferation in the region. could you support this -- these kinds of weapons deals in order to get their support? >> well i certainly understand their great concerns especially with iran developing the ballistic capabilities that it has. my guess is they are looking not my guess, i know they are looking for reassurances from our government that we are gonna

be with them. they are very concerned about that recently. as to the specific is types of weapons, obviously, want to look at those specifically. not only are they concerned about these conventional abilities to protect themselves some of them if iran -- they believe iran is on a president to get a nuclear when upon they are also gonna want a nuclear weapon down the road. so there's no question there's a lot at stake here why the bill that's on the floor is so important that on your behalf and others the senate and the house have the ability to see that this is transparent, that it's enforceable that iran will be accountable and that we know that this deal is gonna keep them from getting a nuclear weapon. >> senator bob corker it is a pleasure. thank you so much for being with us. thank you. enjoy yourself out there. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> beautiful day in nevada. but meanwhile, on a serious note, a former marine is imprisoned in iran on a hunger strike now, as his family is renewing calls for his release. amir heck matdy has been held in

an iranian prison more than three and a half years, arrested while visiting his grandmother in august of 2011. while in detroit this weekend vice president joe biden met with the family which comes only days after hekmati's sister, sarah curdy, met with officials at the white house. she was joined by her husband, rami and congressman ben killdy who called for a resolution calling for the release of hekmati, including "washington post" journalist, jason rezzian. i spoke to sarah ramie and congressman killdy before their white house meeting. >> thank you so much for being here congressman and sarah and rami. let's talk about the crisis really for your family. sarah, first to you. your brother, now, since 2011 a marine, has been -- a former marine, has been incarcerated. what are you being told as to why? >> i mean, ultimately, the suspicion was about his service

in the u.s. military, even though he served prior to going to iran to visit our elderly grandmother and he was very transparent prior to going and obtained all the required paperwork to go visit and was there for two weeks before he was held by the intelligence forces. >> do you have any concerns that this warming of relations with iran and the negotiatings for nuclear agreement might influence the administration to not be as active as they are about trying to get his release? >> well from the u.s. side we are reassured that it is something that they are engaged with the iranians on a regular basis and that's something that we have been told on multiple levels. on iran's side however, we do see progress with iranian officials that are engaged with the u.s. but there are some factions that are trying to tie amir's case to the outcome of the framework deal.

>> congressman, what can you do? you understand the politics of all this. >> i think the most important thing is that the american people and through congress and its administration speak with one voice and make it very clear that if iran intends to engage the global community, they can't hold political prisoners. >> you oppose any nuclear framework if there is no release? >> i'm one who believes that the negotiation is the right approach and i think it's really important to keep the two questions separate. amir hekmati is an innocent man. negotiations with iran over their nuclear capabilities shouldn't be a condition, nor should there be any concessions in those negotiatings in order to gain his release. >> and the fight continues by the family and by congressman killdy to try to get him back. we are live in las vegas today, where barack obama won a key union endorsement in 2008. what is it going to take for hillary clinton to win the vote this time around? stay tuned. you're watching "andrea mitchell

reports" only on msnbc. ameriprise asked people a simple question: in retirement, will you have enough money to live life on your terms? i sure hope so. with healthcare costs, who knows. umm... everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor.... can get the real answers you need. start building your confident retirement today. how do crest 3d white whitestrips compare to a whitening toothpaste? let's see. the paste didn't seem to do much for me. the whitestrips made a huge difference. that's not fair! crest whitestrips work below the enamel surface to whiten 25 times better than the leading whitening toothpaste. crest whitestrips. the way to whiten ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ girl ] my mom, she makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. ♪ ♪ [ birds squawking

icy said overnight it was behind the attempted terror attack in gar land texas, over the weekend, making the first time that they have at least claimed responsibility for an attack on u.s. soil. this comes as we are learning more from friends and relatives about the two gunmen. we don't know if that claim is real or just their attempt at publicity and propaganda. joining me now from garland is ayman mohyeldin. it is complicated, hard to tell if this was an operational isis event, as they claim or aspirational on the part of two roommates from phoenix and isis is just trying to claim the credit. >> that is certainly going to be the focus of both u.s. intelligence officials and law enforcement officials to try and

determine now that this claim of responsibility has come out, what is the linkage between the terrorist organization and these two men. there's no doubt about it at least from those who know isis well that the claim of responsibility seemed to be authentic, meaning it came from a credible source, a source that has in the past this radio station belonging to isis has put ought then theic material. that, in itself is going to be a first if it is proven to be true. i think your point about the linkable between the terrorist organization and these two men here is going to focus on whether there was any material support, where there any other associates involved in planning and executing this attack any money transferred from overseas to-to-these individuals, how did they get their weapons and how did they plan this specific target and this specific attack? all of those questions i think, are going to lead u.s. officials to determine whether or not isis was certainly claiming responsibility in an opportunistic sense or whether this was truly an isis attack carried out with some kind of operational command and control. those questions, i think,

andrea, still too premature to determine at this point, given how recent the attack was. >> disturbing on so many levels. amman, thank you so much, garland in texas. john kerry made history today became the first secretary of state to visit somalia, made an unannounced stop at mogadishus aairport, held meetings inside a very heavily guarded compound with the nation's president and prime minister of this glen ling democracy. kerry spent just over three hours in the nation that is battling an al shabaab insurgency after fighting with decades of civil war. kerry spoke afterwards. >> i met somalis who were 15 18 20 years old, who had never lived anywhere except in a refugee camp. so i'm here today because somalia is making progress in its mission to turn things around. >> mogadishu, of course the site of the infamous attack on

her as she arrives today? joining me is the political director at local 226, culinary workers. >> thanks for having me. >> what is the attitude toward hillary clinton this time around? you have already heard from martin o'malley last september, bernie sanders not been a declared candidate was here in march. they have more progressive platforms than hillary clinton. are -- is the union open to endorsing her, to supporting her this time? >> i think we are open to all of our options, it is may of 2015 plenty of time to see if anyone else will jump in the race and lots of time to hear where secretary clinton stands on issues this are important to us and members. >> what do you want to hear from her? >> think we want to hear specific measures she is going to take to make sure we are not talking about a minimum wage class, that we are really talking about a middle class and how that's going to be created and sustained and we want to hear how that will affect issues like the affordable care act and changes that we've -- that we've

pushed see that and see where she stands on things like immigration reform and how she is gonna work to make sure that more people enter and stay in the middle class. >> she has talked about the middle class. she says she is a champion of every day americans. she hasn't put any specifics on that. she is, today, going to say that she is in favor of a pathway to citizenship. but you want to know how. >> that's right. we want to know how and what we saw in 2008 and in 2012 is that it's not necessarily easy but it's certainly easier to talk about on the campaign trail than it is to fight for it in washington, so we welcome her to the fight. our union has been fighting for comprehensive reform for decades and we hope to work with her, not just to develop specific proposals but also make sure that people know where she stands on the issue. >> and their campaign today has put up social media and website to counteract the criticisms in the book "clinton cash" and other criticisms in the news media of the way the clinton

foundation has accepted foreign -- foreign money and not accounted for all of it correctly is the allegation. does that concern you or you more focus on the economic issues? >> i think issues like that will kind of have their 15 minutes of fame on the campaign trail, as many others will. we are really looking at big picture issues and what specific changes she is going to make that will affect people like our members. >> thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. >> looking forward to see what she has to say when she comes to this high school. thank you, great to meet you. only few hours from now, hillary clinton is going to be holding a roundtable here at this high school behind me. rancho high school is 70% hispanic. she will be talking to voters including dreamers. we will have a top official from the campaign up next. you are watching "andrea mitchell reports" live from las vegas. minnesota winters are brutal it's tough being cooped up it gets a little stale. when dad opens up the window what's the first thing he does? the tobin stance spring is in the air and pollen, dog hair... the sunshine

and now, we have got to move forward. and but it starts with really listening to the community, hearing them their words, their stories. >> will she defend president obama's deportation record which has been very controversial in the latino community? >> you know, she has always been for the latino community and you will hear her talk about that you will hear her talk about what she is going to do if she was president. i certainly don't want to get ahead of her, but what you're going to hear is her vision for how help and working with the community to do some >> martin o'malley, a competitor, has, well he hasn't declared yet, but certainly taking aim at her, he has put out a statement which includes a long list of things she said in the past about illegal immigrants, people who employ illegal immigrants. it's a whole list of things coming from people we believe close to o'malley.

what do you say to that? >> we will have to listen to her and look at her action. in nevada, she is coming to talk with people on her first trip out west is in a statement in herself, we will hear how she talks and what she does with the latino community. no doubt over her time and her record she has been to the southern border in texas registering voters she has been through the community with her church when she was younger. that stuff matters and i think wither going to see more of that and see her talk about this and really interact with folks here in at ground. >> why did the clinton campaign put up the website, social media campaign and i a numbers onned today it is counteracting "clinton cash," the book? it is stepping on your message of immigration reform today because there's such a heavy focus now on the campaign striking back. why the need to strike back? >> i think every campaign you always have different things coming at you at different times, but it is time to respond back and to have a police for people to go to actually heart facts. and we are out there going to put those facts out there,

especially as everything comes for us but the same time we know that we are building a relationship with the community and with the voters and so we are going to keep doing that and give a police for folks to go to really get the facts of what's going on. >> former president clinton was speaking exclusively to cynthia mcfadden my colleague, in africa at a clinton foundation trip. and here's part of what he said about the reason for the continuing the speeches and for the money that has been coming into the foundation. >> i have turned down a lot of them f i think there's something wrong with it i don't take it and i do disclose who gave it to me so people can make up their own minds. >> she is now running for president. will you continue to give speeches? >> oh, yeah, i got to pay our bills. >> and that of course is about the speeches the paid speeches. how do you deal with all of these questions trailing the candidate and the campaign? >> you know, that's president

clinton, we are focused on her and what she is doing here and what's going on with her. we have the briefing page to really hope people get the facts out there, but at the end of the day, but at the end of the day, her building a relationship earning every single vote and a being out there with the community. >> the dnc announce there had will be six primary debates, i think hillary clinton tweeted she looks forward to the debates, how many of those six would she participate in? >> just came out, of course this he tweeted she is excited, so we are going to look at them but this is what we said from the very beginning we knew there was going to be debates, knew there was going to be a primary and what we are going to keep pushing hard and make sure we earn every vote. >> thank you so much amanda renteria, very good to see you. >> thank you for having me here. >> is great for us. more from las vegas coming up next on "andrea mitchell reports." stay with us. you can call me shallow... but, i have a wandering eye. i mean, come on. national gives me the control to choose any car in the aisle i want. i could choose you... or i could choose her if i like her more.
