Being raised up into a battle with donald trump or being lowered down? into a battle with donald trump? >> i think he is being lowered down as a governor. a governor should talk his executive record, his status, you know what he has been able to do for florida voters. instead he is getting in the mud with donald trump. get in the mud with donald trump. make it a reality show. guess what. donald trump is going to win. what i do think is good for everyone in the republican party. is the fact that ...

Ladder fire trucks. the parade route goes down from here, outside the archives, ten blocks, straight down constitution, past the white house, and past thousands -- we dont have a crowd count but there are smiling people waving flags and clapping and saying thank you to everybody who laid down their lines. >> looks like a magnificent event. thank you. >> we pause to honor americas heroes. remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and looking back at the history of this ver...
