but looking at you we all understand why we re honoring this man tonight. this is what it s all about. this is what our veterans movement is all about. showing people you can go through a lot but come out on the other side and be stronger. we call it the vets rising movement. and daniel s a tremendous example of that. so tonight we re humble to be anyone a toibl honor him. but also gives us a chance to reflect on the sacrifice and leadership of over 3 million men and women who served in iraq and afghanistan. that s what veterans day is all about. we re honored to celebrate him but also give folks a chance to hear his story and understand veterans aren t broken, they re not damaged. they re leaders and they can adapt, improvise and overcome and go all the way from afghanistan to the st. louis rams. incredible american success story. before we get to the rams, i m with you as a southern girl i appreciate my college football, to clemson here. so you decide you get this recruitment vid
dr. carson may be down next week. these polls change. you also don t underestimate the bushes, the rubios, the cruz and others that give their time and their resources and their commitment to this country and try to make it better. you value them, you empower them, you uplift them. you don t divide the republican party because of personal attacks. it s just not the american way. mr. trump has all these capabilities. it s an incredible american success story. but unfortunately, he just doesn t have the discipline to show respect, to show mutual administration for someone else s accomplishment. it s sometimes as if he s the only person that should be running. i hate to be so candid about it, but this guy is so gifted, he has so much going for him, but you know, the problem is his temperament. he lashes out and people see it as a tantrum by an adult and americans are becoming turned off with it and dr. carson continues to grow and he would never get in the mud pit with mr. trump. it s jus
john kerry talking about the death of his former colleague in the senate, new jersey s frank lautenberg. the 89-year-old was the senate s most senior member. joining me on the phone is the democratic senator from new jersey, bob menendez. your reaction to the passing of your good friend and colleague? well, thomas i m shaken by the loss of my colleague, my friend, and a great ally, frank lautenberg loved his job and the people who elected him five times. and who trusted him to always be on their side. and he always was. he was a tremendous fighter for new jersey. and one of the greatest generation, the last in the senate to have served in world war ii. and you know, frank is just an incredible american success story. he was a man who joined two of

now. good to have you and certainly, this is a gripping tale for boston and the country in general. a lot of people outside of boston may have heard the name, but aren t familiar with the details of his life, but when you start following the story, it reads like something out of the godfather. what was it that intrigued you most about the story? here in boston, we re calling this the trial of the century. he s calling his upcoming trial the big show. and a chance to you know, clear his name. but the feel is that his alleged victims are saying finally, a chance to hear the whole story and hear what he has to say about his corruption relationship with the fbi. but i think for whitey, who has spent a lifetime cultivating this relationship as the good bad guy, what he wants to try to refute is the claim they was a long time fbi informant and that he killed two women who were among his 19 victims because
