lieutenant general john hudson, thank you for your leadership.ul that we are honoring them today. it's fitting that we come together today in emancipation hall because today marks the 150th anniversary of the death of president abraham lincoln, 7:22 a.m. this morning. as we gather to pay tribute of the impossible, incredible bravery of the doolittle raiders, president lincoln's words on the battlefield of gettysburg ring true as ever. "the world will not long remember what we say here but it can never forget what they did." [ applause ] as a representative of san francisco, i take special pride because it was less than four months after earl harbor on april 2, 1942, that the uss "hornet" steamed under the golden gate bridge and out of service bay on her deck, 16 b-25 medium bombers, planes never intended to take off from an aircraft carrier, planes that could never return to the hornet once launched. the crews volunteered when they knew nothing more than the mission's importance would be matched only by its perils. their training and preparation

i talked to john hudson about this. >> there is no doubt that the islamic state beheading videos had huge effect in stirring the american public out of this war weariness that existed and was pervasive in the at maf of the iraq and afghanistan conflicts. so you will see the republican candidates try to out macho each other when it comes to talking about aggressive steps that they would take to counter the group. donald trump has said that he has a beautiful plan for debeating isis but we haven't seen any specifics. the only republican candidate that has offered specifics is lindsey graham who said he would be up for at least 20,000 combat troops in iraq and syria. he didn't poll well enough to even make the debate. >> hudson told us the other international issue very likely to come up is the iran nuclear deal. all candidates have come out against the deal to varying degrees. >>> a federal appeals court has struck down the voter id law. it required citizens to show photo ids before casting ballots. the governor says the state will continue to fight to reinstate voter id laws to quote

. >> john hudson noted that the other international issue likely to come up is the iran nuclear deal. all the republicans have come out against the deal. in texas a federal appeals court has struck down the strict voter identification law. the court ruled the measure violating the voting rights act and is there are unconstitutional. they passed the measure four years ago to show photo i.d. before casting ballot, greg abbott says the state will likely appeal the ruling to the united states supreme court. this morning president obama published an add in many newspapers urging the public to defend the act. but several states including election phrase, have been trying to chip away at the law, it is costing minority voters. >> 50 years ago president lindon banes johnson signed the voting rights act it outerrerred states states to start discriminating against minority voters. one of the reasons was a serious of bloody, sometimes deadly protest that took place across the south including here in the alabama. today, some civil rights advocates say voting rights laws are under attack. >> the e

john hudson was not there. jon huntsman was not invited to that was his state as well but that's not something that romney would accept an invitation to pay its. >> the governor picked him that romney to leave the olympics and becomes a confidant got a major award and that romney was the presenter and every prominent group. if you look at utah's list of who's who the only family that was on that list was romney. they didn't show up and aided by table are supported at all. if you are in certain parts of national politics you know you have to pick one team or the other acre she cannot straddle both. >> well, when they were campaigning very high-profile lots of attention on their mormon faith and in the book you describe them as different kinds of mormons. tommy, explained. >> let's start in 2008 mitt romney's first run at the white house critically look at the label as is everyone is running as romney is the only one who was labeled with his religion. former pennsylvania senator rick santorum or former arkansas g

joining us is john hudson, senior reporter for foreign policy magazine. thank you and thanks for your time. if your magazine were holding this debate, list the top issues you think a future president should have to address. >> i mean the main issues that we're going to see talked about are going to be the iran nuclear deal countering the islamic state in iraq and syria and those are the key issues that any president is going to grapple with beyond 2016, but you could expect the iran nuclear deal to come up during this debate. >> to that point, a lot has been made of a comment that president obama made yesterday comparing hardliners in congress to hardliners in iran that are against the nuclear deal about that what have the gop candidates said about the iran deal? >> that argument drives republicans crazy, because they don't like to be perceived as warmongers, but that was exactly the difference that the president was raising. republicans have directed this as a false choice but uniformly, the republican party have denounced obama's nuclear deal. the only
