rick can perry, scott walker chris christie jeb bush naming them by name. this is so big.is also speak to something that could be a weakness of hers as she runs for president. president obama was able to secure almost 100% of the african american vote in both elections that he won. she needs to do the same thing. and i think there's a lot of concern among some of her supporters that she won't be able to do that. what did you see her doing? she was at a historically black college talking about voting rights and honoring barbara jordan jordan the first african american female elected to the house. >> i want to shift gears dramatically gloria. today there was bo biden who passed away unfortunately of brain cancer over the weekend. the son of the vopt joe biden. an emotional day for the entire biden family. his body was lying in honor at the state capital in delaware. so sad when you think about it. so young, so impressive. what a loz. >> i don't think there's anything that we can add to these pictures. it's heartbreaking. the vice president's agony is self evident, as is the

perry's announcement today and casey, from a sort of stage craft perspective, it seemed like the event came off well. the sweltering heat and sweatiness aside. >> the sweltering heat and sweatiness aside, yes, chris. they tried to be prepared for how hot it was going to be. they had several giant air conditioners in the back, but they weren't getting the job done. they did hand attendees fans but perry had to sweat it out front and center for everyone. other than that, you know, one of the more dramatic backdrops we've seen for something like this and a heavy focus on the military biography and that's new for his 2016 bid from 2012. he mentioned he was a veteran quite a bit in the last campaign but wasn't a center piece and he does have an authentic connection to many of those military veterans standing on stage with him. marcus latrle one of them. he lived with governor perry and

she's making that counter point to rick perry's record as governor. chris? >> absolutely. does in texas, raise money in texas. it's one of the big donor states in the country. when i look at perry candidacy, it feels he's running almost more for himself than anyone else. he does not feel he was able or gave his all last time around. he does not like the impression he left. he does not want that to be the lingering last impression people at national level have of him. he recognizes candidacy far more of a long shot than last time. he's not as well positioned. he wants to run a credible serious campaign and see what happens. if he runs a serious campaign and winds up never challenging the top tier he actually might be okay with that. >> what do you all think about jeb bush's now announced announcement june 15th? first he's going overseas then come back and do this kickoff monday june 15th when clinton is in new hampshire and iowa? >> i'll be brief. i just heard about this. i think it's somewhat ridiculous. we've known bush was running actively for months. the idea he's going

. >>> today chris wallace sits down with one of their competitors, rick perry. do you think rick perry is going to say today? >> well you know i think he's going to take a second chance to make a first impression. obviously his candidacy is weighted down by the fact that he ran. and i fair to say embarrassed himself in 2012 most famously when he tried to remember three government agencies he wanted the to shut down and couldn't remember the third. i think he's running to show that he's better and stronger than that. in fact it now turns out he had major back surgery just before he announced he was getting in. he wasn't sleeping. he was taking pain pills. which is a great way to run for president. i think he's going to try to show he's better than he was in 2012. this is a much tougher, much stronger field than 2012. and i think he's going to keep climbing. there's a lot of sitting governors, a lot of sitting senators. i think it's going to be tough for him. >> conservatives are sitting back and waiting for one of these stories about hillary clinton's finances to
