hilton so-called hanoi hilton prisoner of war camp but refused early release based on the fact thatave gotten out earlier, jumped the line. that's why, steve, there are some places you cannot go. this is one of those places you cannot go. it may be that it was a bad joke. if it was a bad joke donald as your friend and i love you and your family. you're such a wonderful person and have been so good to the riveras. i beg you to explain it if it was a bad joke. just say it was a bad joke. i'm sorry it laid flat. i didn't mean it. or if it was something you said out of anger because of what mccain said about crazies, then apologize, i never intended for a second to insult your service or the service of other prisoners of war. they're on the pantheon of america. you just cannot mess with them. he made a terrible mistake. >> he came out in usa today. he says this. a number of my competitors for the republican nomination have no business running for president. i do not need to be lectured by any of them. many are failed politicians or people who would be unable to succeed in the private se

it happened to be the 40th anniversary of his release from the hanoi hilton. i spoke about, what an incredible privilege to serve with a patriot and hero like john mccain. he served his nation. he was imprisoned and tortured. who was tortured -- being in my family, being imprisoned and tortured is something my family and door, too -- endured, too. not at the level that john mccain did, but most extraordinarily, john mccain was offered early release and turned it down because he believed it would be dishonorable. i said, none of us have face that. i have never been in prison and i have never been tortured. all of us hope we would make the same decision as he did, but not one of us knows for sure. i said, what a privilege to serve with an american hero like john mccain. every word of that was heartfelt, but it was also very conscious. i am not going to respond with an attack. i will note behind you on that bookshelf is a baseball cap, when i came back to texas, grassroots supporters printed up baseball caps with daffy duck that say "wacko birds." in the grassroo

a man goes in the military, sits in the hanoi hilton, beaten in a tiny little cell, he comes home and i put him in charge of the veterans. this is the beautiful arc of what's right. tom had a little code -- [ knocking ] >> i don't know where he is right now. he is right here. and tapped out a code that kept them altogether. and it was team that carried him through the most difficult times. uncle george, it was team that helped you be successful, wasn't it? the vietnam veterans and the iraqi veterans and the afghanistan veterans we do best. or the depression, when we all hung together. teamwork. team. they're not the enemy. they're part of our team. we can disagree. they're our team. and then family. look at these families here. the building block of america. it's the building block of our culture. let's recognize it. and, of course, faith. and faith is really simple for me, it's about the do's, not about the don'ts, and what it's all about, god didn't put us on the earth to take care of ourselves. he put us on the earth to make things a little better because we lived here. there are s

if you've ever been to the hanoi hilton, seen where he was, his decision not to come home his decisionre because he knew he was being used by the north, he is a heroic american, and i've met him. i honor that man and i think we all should. >> it is a great -- >> you know i'm a democrat. >> i want to say this. and congratulations to you. >> can i go back and talk about tip ranks? uri came over from israel are for this. >> this is a country with second chances, right? aren't you a perfect of example of that? how you've reinvented yourself. >> i don't if i have. but yes, thank you. >> ti ask a question about tip ranks or are we done? she runs a very tight ship. >> enjoy israel. good to have you here in new york. he's right. great to have you, governor. >> thank you very much. >> just when you thought smart cars were safe maybe they're not so smart. earlier this week hackers proved they could easily infiltrate a jeep software system. now fiat chrysler's taking action because of it. should we all just stick to public transportation? the panel is going to weigh in. it's a fact. kind of like

a man sits in the hanoi hilton, beaten all the time, sitting in a little cell. this is the beautiful ark of what is right. tom had a little code. [knocks] i don't know where he is right now. he tapped out a code that kept them altogether. it was the team that carried them through the most difficult times. george, it was the team that helped you to be successful, wasn't it? the iraqi veterans and the afghanistan veterans, we did our best. we hugged together. they are not the enemy. they are part of our team. we can disagree -- a are our team. look at these families. the building block of america. the building block of our culture. let us recognize it. and faith. faith is simple for me. it is about the dos and not the don'ts. god didn't put us on this earth to take care of ourselves. he put us on this earth to make things you little bit better because we live here. there are some that will try to divide us. forget it, i don't pay any attention to that kind of nonsense. at the end of the day, it's about being together. because it says, we the people. if you think t

was shot down over vietnam and he spent five unspeakbly terrible years in the two casually called hanoi hilton, and yet somehow he persevered and returned a man of faith and forgiveness to lead us in the pledge to our flag, please welcome a true, great american hero, colonel tom moe. [ applause ] >> thank you, ladies and gentlemen. won't you join me now as we recommit ourselves to our wonderful country through the pledge of allegiance to our beautiful flag. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. thank you all. [ applause ] >>> ladies and gentlemen a big part of the governor john kasich's story is economic growth and prosperity, and here is a couple of a couple dreamers. katherine dewey is the president of the mt. caramel brewing company in cincinnati, and for the past ten years she and her husband, mike, have worked together to built their dream and putting their whole heart and whole life savings into their work. it's paying off and they are an emerging

he's only a hero because he was captured ignores the fact that he actually was a leader of men at the hanoi hilton. he resisted just about more than anybody else. he suffered just about more than anybody else. he helped out his fellow man there. it's just not in bad taste, but it's ignorant and factually incorrect. but he's not going to suffer from that. his negatives are higher than anybody, among republican voters. jeb bush is a distant second on that front. people will rebel against him. the question is mouch lasting damage is that going to have on the republican brand as the party that has this strain within it that will go on about raping mexicans and god knows what else kind of nonsense comes out of donald trump. >> look in a chris calkris crystal ball. how much it will hurt the gop? >> in the last presidential election, the gop stopped getting a majority vote of just about every hyphenated american. the only ones left are cuban-americans. a lot ef people treat issues like immigration and just the wake we talk about it is a threshold issue that we assess otherwise, the decency of a pe

he can have lift his arms above his shoulders because of five half years years of hell at the hanoi hiltonagainst the p.o.w. code of conduct. that makes him a war hero. not because he was captured. in addition donald trump is absolutely wrong about senator mccain's record on fixing and reforming the va. he is a leader on trying to fix the broken va system for veterans. >> so, dan when it comes to the remarks and i guess the firestorm that's happened out of all of this, we had john mccain on "morning joe" today, he said he doesn't want an apology. he doesn't really care about that. he's not going to lower himself to try to achieve one but he feels there's p.o.w.s and veterans' families that deserve one. will you try to get one? >> we won't waste our time. we'd rather have focus on real issues like veterans going through at the va like the fact that our department of defense has real spending issues about all sorts of other problems that are going on around the country. not this anymore. we won't waste a moment because the fact is doesn't sound like he'll apologize anyway. >> we are asking f

in the vietnam war while mccain was prisoner in the hanoi hilton trump who graduated from a military high school was on the way to an ivy league degree avoiding the war with four student deif you arements later a high draft lottery number. politically trump who seriously flirted with a white house bid in 1999 has been all over the map, even registering as a democrat in 2001 before changing party years later. some of his past statements more closely resemble democratic positions like on abortion. >> i'm really pro choice. >> reporter: now he says he is pro life and his support of health that are sick. >> we'll see how those positions sit with many of those early state republican voters. still, a new "washington post" poll shows trump leading the republican pack by a wide margin nationally. there are some signs his support, however, may be waning. that poll found a meaningful drop in support for trump the day after his comments about john mccain. matt and savannah? >> peter alexander on this. peter, thanks very much. >>> while donald trump and the rest of the republican field will have

inspiration o'the power of which i was privileged to see firsthand when i traveled with senator mccain to hanoi in 2012 and 2014. senator mccain said 20 years ago i believe it is my duty to encourage this country to build from the losses and the hopes of our tragic war in vietnam a better peace for both the american and the vietnamese people. today the american and the vietnamese people could be proud of the progress made to forge a lasting peace and friendship. two years ago, president obama and vietnamese president launched the u.s.-vietnam comprehensive partnership opening a new phase of bilateral relations between our nations based on mutual respect and common interests. i met recently with win fu trong, the general secretary of the communist party of vietnam to discuss our shared interests and opportunities for closer collaboration on a range of issues including regional stability, economic cooperation and the lingering human and environmental consequences of that war. i had the honor of meeting with general secretary trong while traveling to vietnam with senator mccain last summer, and i'

in part the captain led a mission of f-105's thunderchiefs against a heavily defended target near hanoi undaunted by the intense and accurate flak, surface to air missiles and hostile migs, captain leetun led his flight to the critical target. on a bomb run his thunderchief was hit by hostile fire, becoming a flaming torch and nearly uncontrollable. however, captain leetun remained unformation and delivered his high-explosive ordnance directly on target. after bomb release captain leetun's plane went out of control and was seen to crash approximately ten miles from the target site. through his extraordinary heroism, superb airmanship and aggressiveness in the face of hostile forces, captain leeton reflected the highest credit upon himself and the united states air force. over 39 years later in 2005, darel's remains were identified and he was buried with full military honors at arlington national cemetery. his widow janet son keith told the family that darel was one of the best pilots they ever flew with. darel's son keith was just 6 years old when his father died but through providence,
