look what john kasich said to jake tapper which i took note of. where he said, we have more important things to talk about. well, some people don't get a chance to prioritize racism. their very life depends on it. they don't get a chance to do that. so to say that we have bigger things to deal with is insulting. maybe the policy should be on racism, on sexism, on some sort of bigotry. because people keep pushing that down, and we never deal with the ramifications of slavery, of jim crow and outright racists like donald trump. go on. >> we have reached a tipping point, i would argue. we can disagree on policy, that's fine. but when it comes to human decency, to character, how we treat one another, that is something that we should not disagree on. i believe that there are a lot of people in this country, particularly minorities, who are looking at this and are wondering, am i even welcome? this was a country that was built by slaves, by our ancestors. so if i'm an african american and i go home and talk to my family about this, you know what they're

he's one of several prospective entries in the race to succeed republican governor john kasich who cannot again because of term limits. as we told you earlier, president trump is fighting back against allegations that he is working with a diminished mental capacity that he is somehow unfit, and a lot of it coming from this new book that had washington talking last week. the president says as a matter fact he's a genius. and a stable one at that. here's doug mckelway. >> it's called the goldwater rule, section of the american psychiatric association guidelines that says it's unethical for a psychiatrist to offer professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination. >> it was spurred by barry goldwater's run for president in 1964, and psychiatrists as a group who were opposed to and so they made diagnoses about him that were based on psychoanalytic principles which we don't use today. >> 53 years later, yale university psychiatrist dr. lee met with lawmakers and told them president trump is mentally unfit for office. dr. lee says she is nonpartisan it didn't break the goldwate

this is john kasich with jake tapper responding to some of the stronger statements we've heard from republicanf congress. watch this. >> you don't have to be, you know, viciously attacking him or personally attacking him, but these comments are inappropriate and frankly, the party ought to say it's inappropriate. so what? frankly he ought to apologize for it. okay it's not a big deal. i had to apologize to somebody that i did something inappropriate to, not that i'm the saint of everything or that, you know, all these answers, but it just takes a little i'm sorry. >> mark, it takes just a little i'm sorry. that could clean this up. and the governor there saying it's time to move on. >> well, the irony is for someone like donald trump saying i'm sorry would be like the biggest deal because he doesn't do that. it doesn't move things on. one because he's denied it up to this very moment. but more importantly, this is not just about his own individual prejudices about the world. it's about the fact he's in the highest office in the land and through that office he has the ability to enforce and lev
