this week it's launching a new campaign. listen. >> what does your character look like? does it bounce back after each set back? does it stand out by standing up does it make good on good intentions? character is invisible until it's not. only true action will the world know what it's made of. ainsley: here to tell us more amy looney the vice president of the travis manion foundation and gold star wife. her husband navy seal brendan loony was killed in afghanistan in 2010. it was three years after travis died and he and travis were best friends and they are buried next to each other at arlington. good morning, amy, thanks for being with us. >> good morning. ainsley: i guess we just told a little bit of your story. anything else you want to add to that before we talk about this psa and new campaign? >> you know, i'm -- i look to travis and brendon as my inspiration and, you know,
the transition team and as you can tell, we still don't know the answer. >> or possibly, business and policy are all wrapped into one. we're going to take a quick break. keir simmons, by the way, again, that was hard core right there. >> security detail. >> i mean seriously. >> i am aghast at the trade craft of that interview. >> like keir, right in there. keir simmons, thank you. we have to take a break. stanley, thank you. gentlemen, you're not going anywhere. nbc's megyn kelly will be sitting down later today with for that exclusive interview with vladimir putin that will air sunday evening during the premier of her show "sunday night with megyn kelly" sunday at 7:00 p.m. eastern on nbc. still ahead you know i want to talk about jobs. why would i get brendon up here. just kidding. those jobs numbers are just out. we will take a closer look at what they truly reveal. i want to talk wages. moments ago megyn asked russian president vladimir putin to
session. but not as a substitute we were supposed to have with clapper and bendian arendan and yates. now we have the white house saying we would like sally yates to testify. we would like it hear what she would say. there is no obstacle to having her come in except a decision by the chair to not reschedule that hearing. what we have proposed for days, still waiting for a response from the chair. is let's schedule both hearings. >> is there stalemate now? he won't let this open hearing take place with clapper or brendon and yates that was scheduled for tuesday unless you sign a letter inviting comey to come and testify mibehind close doors before the house intelligence committee. is that the stalemate right now? >> that's one of the issues as far as the hearings are concerned. we propose, let's do both. we're more than happy to do both and waiting to hear back on that. where does the committee go from here? not just on the hearings. here is the challenge we face. we have a chairman who got
