A look at the days latest news and headlines. The president has watched this process play out. He wants to see it come to an end as he stated many times. We look forward to that happening. Bill there are so many headlines going back and forth today. We have been here many times before. You get to the end of the day and you ask yourself what changed . Has something changed today fundamentally or not . No, not a lot. We heard the president say this stuff a lot. We know that the president vents on twitter. But he is the president of the United States. He was today talking about a subordinate the Attorney General of the United States. The more the president tweets sound like a directive, the crazier everybody gets. Thats why the trump team said no, he is just venting. He has the First Amendment right to do it. He didnt say sessions has to do this. The closer it sounds like the
coming up next . You get to the end of the day and nothing changed. Byron the fact he moved some of these cases to new york. Is this a significance in that . I think there is. The significance is these are things that the special counsel uncovered that he believes are not in the core mission of his office, that is searching for some sort of conspiracy and contacts between russia and the Trump Campaign to influence the 2016 election. We have seen him spin off a number of cases. The Michael Cohen case. A person very close to donald trump. Gave that to federal prosecutors in new york. Bill why . Because it doesnt deal with manafort . What is the legal reason for doing that . Mueller hasnt said why. Most experts interrupted this as meaning whatever they discovered about cohen doesnt involve the trump and russia affair. We heard a lot about cohen and Stormy Daniels or other women. Cohens own personal business. We have not heard some of the spectacular acications we heard earlier with the Trump Dossier with cohen going to europe to meet with russians. If that were true, it seems mueller would be Prosecuting Cohen himself. Bill giuliani talking a lot in the last few days. I want you to react to this. Its an opinion. Thats the medium he uses for opinions. Twitter. One good thing about using that he established a clear practice that he expresses his opinions on twitter. He used the word should and not must. There was no president ial director. Bill there it is again. I know the left will go nuts. I dont know if there is cause for that right now. Well, its funny what caught my eye is he was in new hampshire. Bill how come . [overlapping talking]. I am an out lier in the Democratic Party on rudy giuliani. I think he is doing a bang up job for donald trump. I think he is nuts and lying and flit flopping. Flip flopping. He is an extension of the president creating so much noise you forget what we are talking about. Bill we wont forget. Thanks. See you soon. In a moment the somber ceremony they begins in hawaii with the vicepresident pence set to receive the possible remains of 55 u. S. Troops from the korean war. We will go there live. First. We need health care as a right for everybody. Bill there is a new socialist hoping to repeat that alexandria ocasiocortez hopes to duplicate. Sarah smiths message and movement coming up.

I am for Singe Payer Medicare for all and Free Education and abolishing ice and investigating in your infrastructure and getting us out of the 9 to 11 Different Military occupations we are in. Bill if that sounds familiar, it is. Its a different mess anger now. Thats sarah smith running for congress. A democratic socialist. Running for congress in the state of washington. Ninth district. Modelling her campaign after new york associate alexandria ocasiocortez who shocked the country knocking off the democratic incumbent. Her similar task to unseat a fellow democratic 11 year incumbent. Sarah smith, you are brave. Good evening. We have been trying to get
ocasiocortez on the air for months and getting critics crickets. I have the list. Free health care, Free Education and open borders . Right now people talk about costs when it comes to these things. They talk about costs for a Single Payer Health care system. The system now costs taxpayers 47 Trillion Dollars. A Single Payer System would reduce that cost. Bill are saving us money, right . Single payer systems save money. They allow better Bargaining Costs in hospital. With Free Education. In the president ial election 2016 Bernie Sanders talked about a wall street tax. Thats 2 10ths of a percent off
every dollar traded on wall street. That would generate 370 trillion dollars. Bill give me a chance to get in here. Give me a chance here. I dont know where you got the 47 Trillion Dollars figure. I have not seen that before. You saw the study yesterday 32 Trillion Dollars for free medicare over 10 years. Do you know where you get that money . You only get it from raising taxes. I know you have worked hard climbing the ladder at different jobs. When the businesses are taxed, they take it out on the employoees or pass it on to consumers. You cant get around that. You worked hard and want to keep a job . Of course. Thats what i have been doing. I talk about being a working
class woman. We are already paying for med area. We just dont have access to it. All we are doing is to fulfill the intention. Paying for things. No ones and where we get the trillion dollars spent in iraq. Bill thats a debate we can have also. Why double that the government can do a better job of taking care of people than people can actually do on their own . Because thats the point of government, to empower people to selfdetermine. The point of government is to make sure that people can choose their own fate and future without having to worry if they can go to doctor. Its about the government stepping in to care for the most basic needs of people. The sick and people that need education. Bill that sounds good. But it comes with a price traing. You talked about health care. Free college . Thats not cheap. You talked abo. Free college . Thats not cheap. I know you are inspired by Bernie Sanders. Do you think the Democratic Party had it in for Bernie Sanders in 2016 . I think they might have. Its what it looks like. They were trying to shoe horn him out. Election. Bill i apologize for the interruption. Standby. Heres the vicepresident mike pence live at pearl harbor. Lieutenant brown. Distinguished Members Of Congress and honored guests, members of our armed forces, and
most of all veterans from our korean war and the cherished families of our missing fallen. Thanks for joining us. For this historic occasion. Allow me to extend greetings and Great Respect to all of those gathered here from our commander and chief whose leadership and compassion brought this day about. The 45th president of the United States of america, President Trump. The good book says if you owe debts, pay debts. If honor, then honor. If respect, then respect. We are gathered here at this honorable ceremony to receive 55 flagdraped cases which we trust include the remains of american heroes who fell in the korean
war. Some have called the korean war the forgotten war. But today, we prove these heroes were never forgotten. Today our boys are coming home. President trump asked me to be here on this day on his behalf. Honestly, i have never been more humbled to be asked to represent him. You see, as the admiral just said, my dad lieutenant ed pence fought in combat in the korean war. He came back with a medal on his chest. But my dad, gone now 30 years, always told us the real heroes of the korean war were the ones that didnt get to come home. I just know there is no place
dad would rather have me be than here with all of you welcoming these heroes home. 65 years ago last week, the armistice was signed to bring the korean war to its close. From the moment the guns fell silent american soldiers returned home to families and futures and some to their eternal rest. More than 8,000 americans did not come home at all. Our nation worked tirelessly it keep our promise to leave no man behind. While several hundred of the Missen Fallen have been returned, for more than a decade, as a result of north Korea Nuclear threats and escalations, search, rescue and Recovery Efforts have been suspended until today. On june 12th. President trump traveled to a historic summit in singapore with kim jongun of north korea. As our president entered into negotiations with north korea, he also had our fallen on his heart. As he secured a commitment for the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. He secured a promise from kim to return the remains of all fallen u. S. Serve members lost in north korea. I know that President Trump is grateful that chair man kim kept his word. We see today as tangible progress in your efforts to achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula. Today is just the beginning. Our work will not be complete until our Fallen Heroes are
accounted for and home. We will see to it in the days ahead that these heroes will be the heroes who led the way to many more homecomings in the future. Etched upon the wall of the Korean War Memorial is a tribute to the brave americans who fought there. It reads, our nations honors your Sons And Daughters who answered the call to defend a country they never new and a people they never met. At the time they answered that call, america was weary from war. Less than 5 years before we had emerged victorious from the flames of world war ii. At the end of that struggle marks the beginning of a new one. A war between the forces of
freedom and the forces of communism. 68 years ago in the Korean Peninsula the battle was joined. On june 25, 1950, at dawn, communist north korea invaded the Free Republic of south korea and stormed across. In just a few short days they nearly succeeded in driving freedom from that peninsula. America knew this march would not have stopped in south korea. Embol ended by a victory communism could have spread to every corner of the Asia Pacific Toppling nations one by one. America resolved to stop communisms advance in korea. We sent our best to do it. Over 3 long years, 2 million
american patriots took up the fight. More than 100,000 were injured and 36,574 gave their all. To defend our freedom and secure freedom for south korea. Their act of courage were no less heroic than that of those brothers who stormed the beaches in normandy. They beat back enemy attacks for 6 straight weeks and saved south korea from being driven in the sea. They came ashore and pushed inland to retake seoul the capital of free korea and opening a crucial new front. They made their stand at the chosen reservoir. Outnumbered 41 for 17 days and nights as temperatures plunged to 35 degrees below zero, they
kept fighting, until they broke through the enemy lines. And became legends. From Heartbreak Ridge to Pork Chop Hill and foxholes over mountains and rice paddies, they soldiered on. They drove back the enemy. They held the line. And the armed forces of the United States together with our allies defended our freedom and won a lasting freedom for the people of south korea. That prospers to this day. In just a few moments, the remains of some of those same american heroes will finally return to american soil, draped in the colors of the country they served. Today, they are known but to god. But soon we will know their
names. And we will tell their stories of courage. They were soldiers, yes, but they were also husbands, fathers, brothers and neighbors. Longgone but never lost to the memory of their loved ones. For generations their families had only a blackandwhite photograph to cling to, a faded letter. The precious memory of an embrace on the day they left. We dont know who will come off these planes today. But we do know they are heroes all. Heroes with stories like Army Sergeant a world war ii combat veteran from ohio who went
missing after a fierce battle. He was awarded the silver star and the purple heart. Or they could be heroes remembered like major Charles Lorring who was held a prisoner by the nazis. Less than a decade later he returned to battle. Above Enemy Territory near sniper ridge, his f80 was hit by anticharacter fire. In antiaircraft fire. He directed his plane into the very enemy artillery that was threatening american soldiers. They could also have stories like First Lieutenant downs. Hal trained for combat as world war ii came to a close. Got married and had a son and took a job at a car company. On his first day as he said before he even had a chance to sharpen a pencil, his wife called and said he was recalled to the u. S. Air force. He went without hesitation. On a Night Bombing Run over north korea, lieutenant downing was lost and left behind his wife and unborn daughter and a 3yearold boy name rick who worked to honor his fathers memory and support the families of the missing fallen from the korean war. Rick, we are honored by your presence with us today. Or they could have source likeFirst Lieutenant frank who volunteered to leave his duty station to serve in korea. He was shot down on New Years Eve in 1952 over Enemy Territory. Lieutenant salazars daughter was just 4 years old when he shipped out from Travis Air Force base. We met Diana Last Night at that very same air force base. The base where she saw her father depart for the last time. It was the first time that she had been back there. Diana, you honor your father and all of us by your presence today as well. Whatsoever emerges from these aircraft begins a new season of hope for the famous of the missing fallen. Hope that those who are lost
will yet be found. Hope that after so many years of questions, these families will have closure. And hope that as President Trump said just yesterday, that these and those that follow will in his words finally come home to lay to rest in american soil. So they shall. Some in Arlington National cemetery. Some in National Cemeteries across the land. Some in a church yard along side loved ones long gone and some in a fumble family plot on a lonely road. Wherever they go, these and all of those that will follow shall
be remembered with honor. The bible says No Greater Love has a man than this, that he should lay down his life for his friends. As these heroes are laid to rest, so we pray they will rest in peace. To the families of our fallen here and looking on, know that our hearts are with you today. We share your hope that some day soon your loved ones precious remains will be restored to your tender care. We pledge to you, we will never stop striving until every hero lost in the korean war is home. To the veterans of our korean war, Brothers And Sisters in arms, thank you for your
service. We hope to end this ceremony and end this promise kept, you see once more the deep gratitude that every american feels for your service. And that you leave with the absolute assurance that the korean war is forgotten no more. To our honored dead, who gave the last full measure of devotion for their families and our freedom, to these Great American heroes fallen so long ago, today as a nation, we breathe a word of thanks for your service and sacrifice. We say to you, as one peo
