Thats the question this morning. With the arab world rising up in resolve after the execution of the jordanian pilot. Martha raddatz is in jord thnan this morning. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, george. General allen says the coalition against isis is strengthening every day. The horrific murder of the young pilot has backfired on the terrorist group. With shocking atrocities in the headlines this week isis has redefined barbarity after the slaying of the jordanian pilot. Now the group claims 26yearold american aid worker kale la mueller, the last known american hostage was killed in a retaliatory air strike by the jordanians. Would you call this a Tipping Point . Its an important point for our arab alice. It will be a moment that creates additional unity. Reporter the man behind the unified fight against isis is retired marine corps general john allen, appointing as president obamas special envoy. Well degrade and ultimately destroy isil. Reporter the appalling events of this week underscore the urgency of the fight. On tuesday, isis released video showing the jordanian pilot burned alive while trapped in a cage, triggering outrage around the world. Do you believe the murder of the lieutenant backfired on isis . Absolutely it did. Reporter Jordans King Abdullah urging his people to fight back against isis. The first move the execution of two al qaeda prisoners on jordans death row. Then on thursday a wave of crushing jordan yan air strikes. A video released to drive home the point. The missiles with inscriptions calling isis the enemy of islam. The king King Abdullah has indicated a wish to do more. Reporter what effect has this had . Its unified the coalition. Reporter in iraq general allen help d unite sunni tribes and forge relationships with middle eastern leaders. The arab states within this coalition are providing important leadership in this regard. Reporter until now, allen has had trouble forming a coalition. The u. S. Has been responsible for 80 of all strikes against isis. You told George Stephanopoulos in august what was needed was a hard blow against isil and you needed a comprehensive plan. Have both been accomplished . I believe they have. Co khobani is a place it happened. Reporter its now abandoned. The businesses piles of debris. Reporter but much of the rest of the country is a battleground. Syria seems like an absolute breeding ground for terrorism right now. Its a very important concern, obviously, to us. We dont have partner in syria, as we do in iraq. Reporter when you look at iraq still a third, about a third that isil controls . Well they control population centers. Thats whats relevant. Reporter you look at the Iraqi Security forces have they really come far enough to be capable of doing this in the next few months or even a year to retaking territory . We have worked very hard at several levels to prepare the Iraqi Security forces to do this. Reporter Coalition Forces are going up against what general allen believes is a more formidable enemy than even al qaeda. Isil is at an entirely different level than al qaeda was. Reporter are they harder to find now . They have adapted. They have. We expected that would be the case. You dont see the long convoys now with flags flying in broad daylight. We have also adapted our targeting process as well. Reporter still, the shadow of isis couldfarreaching. Do you believe they pose a threat to the homeland . I think we should take it seriously. Reporter aid worker kaylas parents hope shes still alive. Meanwhile, the air strikes continue unabated. General al lep does acknowledge this is a generational fight. Despite setbacks, this is an enemy that is not going away. George . Thank you, martha. Were joined by the foreign minister of jordan. Do you have solid information about kayla muller the american hostage . No no solid information. Our prayers are for her to be safe and sound and alive. But, we dont have information. Im sure your services have that information. We just heard general allen say that the atrocity against your pilot by isis this week has galvanized the arab world, the fight against isis. We have seen jordan step up the fight. Do you believe isis is on the run . Theyre on the run. Theyre not gone yet. Certainly, the sustained air campaign of the last few months has degraded their cape btabilityies on the ground. They still control vast territory. Have access to syrias cash and funds. They have access to weaponry. Theyre not gone. Theres though doubt. Well prevail. It wont be easy or quick. Mr. Minister thank you for your time. Thank you, my friend. Rivaled by the escalating fight between russia and ukraine. The Obama Administration saying it may be ready to arm ukraines military a move strongly opposed by some european leaders. Too many times president putin has promised peace and delivered tanks. Troops. And weapons. So we will continue to provide ukraine with security assistance. Not to encourage war. But to allow ukraine to defend itself. Republican ted cruz also attended that conference. Thank you for joining us this morning from munich. We have heard of this division between the europeans and perhaps the United States over this issue of arming the ukraine militarily. Where do you stand on that . George good morning. Great to be with you. This conference in munich has highlighted the nrms National Security threats facing america that are growing and getting worse. And when it comes to russia and ukraine, the path were on doesnt make sense. We need to be providing defensive arms to the people of the ukraine. I met yesterday alongside a bipartisan congressional delegation with the ukrainian president he made clear theyre fighting to defend their nation. We have a treaty obligation to stand with them. Right now, unfortunately, the Obama Administration is not honoring that. We need to come together and provide defensive arms so they can stand up against the russian aggression. I know you said in the past that the answer is to bomb isis back to the stone age. Most experts say that will not be enough. Youll need Ground Forces as well the. Would you call up American Forces in others dont step up . Incht dont believe right now we need american boots on the ground. The reason is, we have boots on the ground already with the kurds. The pesh merga are trained fighters. I med with the president of curd stan. He made clear that theyre ready to fight. They are fighting isis. It makes no sense. Our government is not providing military weapons to the kurds. Theyre shuttling it to baghdad. Theyre slow in getting it to the kurds. We need to arm the kurds. We need to use the pesh merga on the ground. If thats not enough would you be willing to send american Ground Troops into the battle . We need to accomplish the mission. The mission should be defeating isis before they succeed in carrying out more horrific acts of terror. If need be we should go that step. But it should be driven by the mission. The first step should be to effectively arm the pesh merga. The problem is right now, the Obama Clinton kerry policy has been consistently wrong. Its been wrong on isis on russia on iran. Our policy from leading from behind we have seen photo op foreign policy. We drop a bomb here on a missile there. We need a focused, direct military objective of taking out and destroying isis. Theyre posing a threat to the homeland adds well. The department of Homeland Security about to run out of funding by tend of the month. Speaker boehner has called you out in the effort to block that funding in an effort to block the president s executive orders on immigration. Do you have a strat yi to get democratic votes to implement your plan . If not, what are you going to do to make sure the funding is in place . I dont agree with the premise of your question. This was not my plan. I fought in december against this plan. I said this plan doesnt make sense. It gives away all our leverage. Its a plan that is designed to fail. So i would ask leadership this is their plan they dezintd, lets see what their next step is. Ill say two things. This past week we saw Senate Democrats three times filibuster funding for the department of Homeland Security. The democrats need to stop fill bustering funding for the dhs. And republicans, what we need to do is honor the commitments we made to the voters. We need to fund dhs. We need to act effectively to stop president obamas illegal and unconstitutional executive amnesty. Let me ask you a question about the economy. New unemployment numbers. More than 1 million jobs created in the last three months. A solid forecast for 2015 as well. What does that do to your partys strategy going to 2016 . Heres what Kevin Hassett said. She says when Hillary Clinton runs, shell say the republicans gave us a crappy economy twice, we fixed it twice. Why would you trust them again . Look if Hillary Clinton wants to run by telling the americans that the economy is doing great and you can credit president obama and Hillary Clinton for it i would encourage her to follow that strategy. Thats true for the wealthy. The top 1 under president obama. The mill nairionaires and billionaires that he demagogues they are doing well. They have gotten fat and happy under big government. Ill tell you, hardworking men and women across america are hurting. We, today, have the Lowest Labor Force Participation since 1978. 92 million americans are not working. We have seen wajs stagnate. Sounds like you have your economic stump speech down. Youve been making the case that the gop cant go with the establishment candidate this time around. You say republicans lose when they go for the mushy middle. You like and respect jeb bush. But you have suggested hes part of the mushy middle. Hes a good man. Hes a good governor. I respect him. If he chooses to run it looks like he will. Hell have to make the case to primary voters concern his record certainly his support for common core concerning his policies on immigration. I think well have a debate on that. But at the end of the day, i think republicans are looking for a leader. And ill tell you, george what i would urge every republican thinking about running to do this is true of senators governors, stand up and lead. I would be thrilled if six months from now, we have half dozen republicans standing and leading and making the case. There is a better way we can get back to the free market principles and constitutional liberties that built this country and made the country a shining city on a hill. Sounds like a vigorous debate is coming. I know you have to catch a plane. Thank you very much. Thank you, george. Ted cruz just one of those stepping up the action. The roundtable weighs . On the moves. And the latest on the Brian Williams controversy. What it says about our media culture. Were back in two minutes. Daughter do you and mom still have money with that broker . Dad yeah, 20 something years now. Thinking about what you want to do with your money . Daughter looking at options. What do you guys pay in fees . Dad i dont know exactly.

The nbc anchor has apologized and taken himself off the air. After veterans called him out for falsely claiming his helicopter was hit by a rocket in the iraq war. Its sparked a debate on social media and news rooms. David wright starts us off. Reporter its become painfully apparent to me that i am now too much a part of the news due to my action. So said a personal note from Brian Williams posted on the nbc news website. The anchor deciding to take himself off the broadcast for the next several days. I made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago. Reporter that decision after an extraordinary mea culpa this past week. I want to apologize. I said i was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by rpg fire. I was instead in a following aircraft. Reporter apologizing for a segment broadcast on nbc nightly news the previous week. Is there the story started with a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. Reporter in that story, williams paid tribute to a soldier who he says saved his life. Nbc posted the story to facebook. Soldiers on the helicopter struck by a rocketpropelled grenade called williams out. Sorry, dude. I dont remember you being on my aircraft. Flight engineer Lance Reynolds wrote. I do remember you walking up about an hour after we landed to ask what had happened. Door gunner mike okeefe called williams a liar. Williams then admitted he must have misremembered. The incident has exposed him to ridicule. People poegs parodies. Brian williams at gettysburg. Brian williams with the ten commandments. Now williams reporting have come under scrutiny too. Nbc news has launched an internal investigation. The News Division president telling the staff, were working on what the best next steps are. But, if his own statement, williams made it clear he plans to come back. For this week david wright abc news new york. Lets talk about it now with our experts, liz spade and david folkencrift. Liz, lets start with you. Brian williams putting himself on the bench for awe foo days. Nbc investigating. Are those the right moves . What needs to be happening . I think its the right move. I think its a few days late. I would have said that the network and Brian Williams should have made a decision to do this earlier, when it first erupted. I think the right move next actually is for the network to have this investigation that theyve started be done outside. I dont think that theres going to be enough credibility that gets attached to that kind of an investigation when the people doing it no doubt have personal connections, personal relationships with Brian Williams. They work for a network ho has a lot at stake. That would be my recommendation. And some reports that maybe nbc had known about this in the past. Thats what cbs did when dan rather had the questions about the reporting on george w. Bushs draft record. They brought in an outside panel. They did that after dan rather used the evening news cast to protect and defend his completely discredited report. I think that is what cost rather his job, the way he handled it. We learn it time and time again. Not that journalists should be thought of as authoritative. But when they fall short, and they often do how they deal with it that theyre judged. The same standards journalists use for poll sixes. Does it make a difference that for these exaggerations, most of them were on shows that were not his own show. It wasnt the reporting. It was him talking about his story. I dont know that that matters. I think this whole cult of person that willty if you will. A star reporter whose name is almost as important as the media brand that they work for. So he is a personification of that to the public. His Public Integrity sonis on display. What are the next best steps . I think you have seen this thing. They called it a review inside nbc news. Theres been no promise of diz closure of the findings. No promise optheyre signaling whether or not Brian Williams comes back. Think they need to keep faith with the public. They need to be transparent. If Brian Williams wants to rebuild his career hes been there more than two decades, perhaps he needs a chance. He needs to make good. The Network Needs to make good. Okay david, liz, thank you very much. Up next jon karl takes a deep dive into hillary 2. 0. Has she learned the lessons from her loss . And rick and Karen Santorum join us to talk about the inspiring story of their little girl, bella. T good nights. Sure,musics why we do this,but its still our business. We spend days booking gigs then weve gotta put in the miles to get there. But its not without its perks. Like seeing our album sales go through the roof enough to finally start paying megs little brother i mean,our new tour managerwith real,actual money. We run on quickbooks. Tha ts how we own it. Skippy yippee fun fun fun shiny you never listen what . Is someone talking . Skippy yippee look a ride vo made with the funnest peanuts ever skippy. Yippee not a single democrat wants to pursue the nomination. On the off chance hillary may throw her hat in the ring. What is so scary about this womans hat . [ laughter ] well whatever is in that hat is working. Democrats uniting earlier than ever behind their presumptive nominee. Hillary was the big favorite last time too. Hat lessons has she learned . Our jon karl analyzes the crucial questions. Thank you, florida democrats. Reporter the last time she ran, Hillary Clinton was such a big frontrunner, she told george it would be over by super tuesday. Im in it for the long run. It wont be a long run. Reporter it wasnt over until june. Not the way she expected. This is not exactly the party i planned. But i sure like the company. Reporter this time around shes an even bigger frontrunner. Hillary clinton is gearing up for a different kind of campaign. Im back. Reporter hillary 1. 0 put the emphasis on experience. Ready to lead on day one. Who is ready to be president. On day one. Reporter portraying herself as the only one to trust in a time of crisis. Its 2 00 a. M. , time for a president who is ready. Reporter 2016 a more humble Hillary Clinton. If i really didnt have a good strategy for my campaign. I didnt plan it the right way. What do you mean . I dont think i ever said yes, you may have known me as a first lady for eight years. But i dont take anything for granted. I have to earn your support. Reporter last time around she downplayed gender. Waiting until the end to emphasize she would have made history. Though we were not able to shatter that highest, hardest Glass Ceiling this time thanks to you, it got about 18 million cracks in it. Reporter this time her confidants say gender will be crucial to her campaign. Strong women and Strong Families can grow economies. Ive got that grandmother glow that doesnt quit. Reporter then theres bill. Sometimes stealing the spot light and going offmessage when talking about obama. This who thing is the biggest fairytale i have ever seen. Reporter as 2016 approaches were seeing a more disciplined bill clinton. I will not be baited. Reporter for all the lessons of 2008, relate blt may be the most important. Any 2016 candidate will have to court the middle class. She took a step backwards when she said she was dead broke after leaving the white house. Any regrets in how you phrased that . Well let me clarify that i fully appreciate how hard life is for so Many Americans today. Reporter and finally, theres campaign itself. No longer dominated by old clinton loyalists, mrs. Clinton has recruited some of the key players who helped obama beat her last time. A sign she wants a campaign more like oobamas. You know, whun one that wins. For this week. Jonathan karl. Were joined by John Heilemann and mark halperin. Kristen Soltis Anderson and van jones from cnn. Welcome to you all. Mark, let me begin with you. Jon talked about the new team. Shes got Barack Obamas pollster his media adviser, communications director. Brandnew campaign hierarchy. Dan ball the dean of political reporters says she has a different campaign. Will she be different, too . Its all about her. The staffers are important. They know the way to win. They have all won president ial campaigns. They wont be afraid to stand up to her or her husband. The ad maker. These are people who know the mechanics of modern president ial campaigns. Shes got the right structure in place. I thinked a dan said the candidate matters most. She has to introduce herself to the public. Theres an advantage to not having a contested fight while the republicans have one of the most contested figs we have seen. She may squander this year by announcing late and doing what she often does overthinking every decision. Will she have to debate . It doesnt look like theres a candidate she would feel kol peled to have to engage . In some way,st its a doubleedged sword. You want to get through this as easily as possible. You dont want to have your first debate in the general election. I think it would be best if some of these guy, Martin Omalley jim webb somebody decided to run so she has to get out on the debate stage a couple of times. She wont be able to say no to debates if theres anybody. She cant hide. Enough to test her but not so much that she gets damaged. That could be how things play out. We saw jon karl hit on the point about gender. Last time around, the campaign was all about strength strength strength strength. They downplayed gender. This time were hearing about grandmother in chief all the time. I think a lot of women will vote with their minds, not their gender. Shell prove shes a likable candidate. Theres a moment in the last debate where obama said youre likable enough hillary. Going back over the last two decades. The more engaged in the political fight, on the campaign a book tour, the lower her favorables get. Figuring out how to make her likable is going to be a big challenge. Van, what happens if something happens to hillary . Where the democratic bench is pretty weak. We have talked about gender. Elizabeth warren thats the name that is on the lips of every grass roots democrat. But shes not running her media adviser went to Hillary Clinton this week. And you at the grass roots, where people actually matter. Where people vote hundreds of parties this weekend ready for hillary. Moveon. Org. The biggest force im sorry, ready for warren. Elizabeth warren. Hundreds of grass roots parties. Theres thunder on the left. Hillary clinton has to deal with shes in a different world with economics. Ted cruise isz is talking about it. Theres a Democratic Party comfortable about talking about tax the mid rich. Elizabeth warren is the only democrat capable of capturing lightning in a bottle. To challenge her. If she wanted to. I think Elizabeth Warren is putting herself in a position if if something happens, she would be in a position to get in the race. I think as long as Hillary Clinton looks strong, elizabeth warn wont get in the race. If she stumbles, theres a health issue, warren could say, im the one. Jeb bush is out there, too. They have joe biden, john kerry, jerry brown. Martin omalley. They have people who could step in if she falters. Right now, shes so far and away the most likely president of the United States. Most likely president of the writs . Most likely. If she performs shows authenticity more than anything else if she shows people who she really is and has a Second Chance to introduce herself, it would be hard to beat her if she performs. We need a rebuttal. I couldnt agree more. This time around, the democrats are putting the full a team on field. The gop side is full of governors and folks from other sectors. Im looking forward to this. 220, 40 electoral votes. Well talk more in a minute. Well look at the whole gop field. A new poll out of New Hampshire. Lets see how they do with the power house puzzler.

Rand paul raised a ruckus by talking about walking talking normal children who wound up with pro found mental disorders after the vaccine. And that interview got testy. Hey, shh. Calm down bait here kelly. Paul was all smiles later when he got a booster shot. A tough week for Chris Christie too. Forced to backtrack from saying parents need to have some measure of choice on vaccines. And the New York Times saying his london trip just one example of his fondness for luxury travel. Christie and paul took a hit on our sentimeter this week. A better week for jeb bush. Making his first big policy speech and first step at freshening up the family brand. I love my brother. I know if im going to be successful, i have to do it on my own. Back now with the roundtable roundtable. Lets talk about that. You and john bringing a new poll from bloomberg. It says George Bush Jeb bush excuse me. That mistake will be made so many times this cycle in the lead. Not only as the first choice ahead of rand paul scott walker, Chris Christie. Add in the second choices. He pops up more. Bush 30 paul 18 walker 18 christie 18. A bit of an edge. New hampshire a long time away. Mitt romney out of the race. New hampshire and iowa wide open. There are negative things for jeb bush to be sure. His general election favorability is low. I think hes undervalued now as a frontrunner even though he has trouble with the grass rot roots. He jumps up with second choice. We compared them on a range of issues. Who would be better to beat Hillary Clinton . Jeb bush. Family connections, republicans in New Hampshire say 59 say thats why he is where he is. Only 31 say because of his quality. In the speech in detroit, he said when people get to know me. They wont think of me as my brother or my father. Theyll thing of me as me. When he brings the conservative governing to work its a big plus. A big challenge. Trying to overcome the foegs that hes a legacy candidate. We asked what are deal killers . We had, for bush, 41 of republicans said that immigration, his hits on imfwrags was a deal killer for them. Another 20 skt said his stance on common core. We heard ted cruz point out the issues to show jeb bush is not real conservative. I think there will be a robust debate on the right. For what does the republican part stand for in the future . Jeb bush wants to define himself as a reform conservative . How do you apply the principles to apply them to reforming institutions . Van jones, you talked about the debate on the democratic side about inequality. I have been fascinated to see, whether mitt romney talking about poverty. Jeb bush addressing it in his speech as well. Ted cruz his first answer on this Mornings Program was about wealth up equality. That is brndnew on the republican side. Paul ryan is now talking about poverty issues. Were dealing with a very different country. The middle class has been decimated not just under obama but in the last 30 years. The problem the republicans have, they have a longer walk than Hillary Clinton. She has a walk. They have marathon to run to position them as the party of not the rich and wealthy. They have an economy that seems to be gaining strength. Something about that. Just to set you up. If we were looking at anything else with obama, we would talk about it all day long. We just had the best report for the past three months now, the strongest Job Performance in about 15 years. 17 years. 17 years. Health care. The costs are going down the enrollment is going up. If it were reversed we would be talk about it. If the Supreme Court doesnt overturn obama care and if Hillary Clinton can talk about hat she likes about obama exhibition and pour toward a different path, it will be tough for republicans. They have to try to you can that about how to deal with the economy going forward. The reason why, again, someone like a jeb bush is well positioned he was the governor of florida. He did things in florida. Hes not a first turn senator. Not a governor with a mixed economic record. There are flaws in him. I think that speech he gave with the the detroit club was big. He might have trouble in iowa. He has hired a Campaign Manager from iowa. New hampshire hasnt been kind to the bushes. What winnows this field down . Right now, theres more than a dozen of them. What winnows this down . At the exclusion of big controversy, someone like Chris Christie could get winnowed out of the field. If he gets hit with a cascade of controversies. Outside that i dont know. Youll have some people raise a lot of money like jeb bush maybe scott walker. He looked good in our New Hampshire poll. Theres a lot of other candidates who can thrive on free media. They think they have nothing to lose by running. You could see a field of 12 in iowa. And no winnowing until people start losing primaries. I think it will be a very fluid race. Everybody had their moment in the sun the last time around. Even herman cain. Even herman cain. Who is picking off the most delegates. Someone coming in fourth or fifth place, are they racking up the numbers to where if a Convention Comes around its a brokered convention. That worked for barack obama in 2008. Democrats should worry about the republican primary. Theyre beginning to look like the rainbow coalition. You may have two latinos, cruz and rubio. A woman, carly fiorina. A black man. Ben carson. You would have real superstars. You have a riveting primary on their side. Nothing on our side. I think democrats should worry. Hillary clinton can overcome that by doing the groundwork in battleground states. Mitt romney lost in part because he was so occupyied winning his nomination while the president s campaign was saying how to we win the electoral votes of florida, ohio other battleground states. That involves campaigning. And a lot of money. I think she may be wasting 2015. She could be in ohio today. If she could get a message together she needs to find out a rationale for her candidacy. She could build an incumbents operation with targets, technology. And nobody to contester. She needs a rationale. Im glad the grandmother in chief. Shes using zblernd a smart way. Grandmothers are tough. Im glad she stepped up on the vaccines. If anything if government should be able to protect our children from disease. I want to ask kristen about that. By the end of the week everybody was together. Governor bush said it best. People love controversy. Im just going to say, its parents responsibility to vaccinate their kids. There was a debate in 2012. It was over gardasil. Its not spread the same way of measles. I think candidates had that in mind. We have to take break. Excellent point. Up next rick and Karen Santorum on bellas gift. And a new look at rosa parks. The doctors later told us that bella bella was incompatible with have b so severe that bella would not have a life worth living. We didnt let go. [ cheers and applause ] Rick Santorum at the gop con vepgs in 2012 celebrating his youngest daughter bella. Born with trisome 18. A condition that takes the life of most children born with it before they first birthday. At his most raw and emotional, he confessed to losing hope. I decided that the best thing i could do was to treat her differently. To not love her. Like i did. Because it wouldnt hurt as much. If i lost her. Bella beat the odds. Shes 6 now and in their new book bellas gift rick and Karen Santorum share the trials and gifts of the journey. A strong little girls remarkable survival. Rick and Karen Santorum join us now. A remarkable book. A remark b girl. Three weeks from her 7th birthday . Three months. How is she doing . Shes been healthy. Shes doing great. Stable. A joy to our family. Whats amazing about the book how honest open emotional you are. I met ewe a few months ago. You said you hadnt read karens chapters. You were each writing a chapter one by one. Yeah the reason was, i wanted to write because i thought the great thing about this book was it gives two perspectives. Hers as a mom. As the fighter. As the person who was going to do everything. And my perspective as the dad trying to manage everything and, as you heard, i found myself trying to be a little detached and it was a that was an amazing moment in the campaign. You bring us inside your home. You say you were stunned and deeply hurt by that confession. I was because it it was it could be missberpinterpretsberpinterpretmisinterpreted. He was so afraid of the hurt. Having to revisit that. This becomes i guess a portrait of a marriage. Youre both grounded in faith and love. Strongwilled people with real emotions and real dins about how to deal with this. I think moms and dads handle things differently. You look at the High Percentage of divorce among parents of disabled children. That motivated us to write this to give people an inside look. Its not easy. Its great gift. These kids are a gift. Every life is worth it. That is so important. Robin roberts in her book was open about the real emotions that bubbled up in her life. And it does i think, it must help people know this is listen were real. This is not easy. We had our differences. We got through it. You forgive. You get through, you heal. You move on. These parents, this book was really written for parents of kids with disabilities. Thats why its so transparent. They inspire us. Theyre amazing. You talk to each and every one of these parents, the message is that every person matters. What did you learn about the Health Care System . I was struck by your portrait of it seemed at least from your telling, some fairly callous Health Care Providers . Go ahead. There have so many wonderful doctors and nurses out there. But there are some i dont thing its intentional. Maybe its because they dont understand a trisome 18 diagnosis. Bellas message. We said shes a little girl with a big message. Her message is dont look at her as a diagnosis. Look at her and many other people like bella, as a person. And dont write them off just because of that diagnosis. Because, lethal language can lead to lethal outcomes. You talk about how this affected your campaign and your family. The campaign was a Family Affair last time around. Youre open about the discussions. What is the Kitchen Table talk like now . Bella is doing so much better. On a great routine right now. Doing really really well. Its frankly, not as big a drn this time around as last time. But, you know we have a lot of other factors to consider in making that decision. With respect to bella, we feel good enough to actually go out and tell the story and put a book out there with a lot of confidence. And a lot of people will get a lot out of it.
