any goldstar family members in here? goldstar family members? i don't see anybody that i can to see everything with the lights on -- i can't see everything with the lights on. you all know goldstar family members. the simple fact of the matter is, there is only one team right now, there is only one person asking to be your vice president, one person asking to be your president, that is trying to make this country where the the sacrifice of -- worthy of the sacrifice of those goldstar families. that's jd and that's president trump. sir, i see your hat says "vietnam." welcome home. the fact of the matter is -- [applause] there is only one person asking to be vice president and one person asking to be president that is fighting like hell to make this country worth your sacrifice in war, and that's jd and donald trump. [applause] how many veterans we have in here? a lot of double dog, jar heads, leathernecks. just a simple fact. there are only two people in this race that are fighting to make america worth your service and your sacrifice, and that's

chairman mccaul, his claim that he pours his heart and soul into getting answers for the abby gate goldstaramilies, he's made that sort of public promise. he made that promise in private as well. unfortunately, the rhetoric does not match the actions. he did not meet his promises to do everything in his power to get answers about the abby gate bombing, about the disastrous withdrawal, about the problems with the evacuation. he chose to let military commanders off the hook, refused to go after key officials that we should've interviewed, failed to post tough questions about their own investigation and the investigation into the abby gate bombing that i think in many ways attempted to whitewash what had happened. as for the report, i hope by coming forward the way i have it applies public pressure on them to make the report as honest and hard-hitting as it should be. my guess is it probably will be more honest and hard-hitting that it would have been if i had not come forward. the problem with any report like this is that a report is often only to be as good as the investigation. this investi

and you have different said you don't take pictures, strictly, we went over there, we were with goldstarand it is just something you don't do. and i am just a poor old boy from east texas and i knew that, so i know the former commander-in-chief would know that. but politically, you know something really important. politically, there's lots of people in these focus groups we were just talking about, they are just hard-working middle- class folks who really look at the cemetery is a place where our veterans, are laid to rest fighting for our freedoms, and he has just made this worse and worse, like he does with most things. as the story goes along, because he won't shut up. >> made it very political. i have about 30 seconds left. what is your take on donald trump paul steeno stance on ivf? >> i think donald trump will say anything he has to, like he always has, to get elected. i have said this on this program. donald trump has a philosophy an old country statement. if you live long enough about having a horse eventually someone will buy you a settle and he is hoping that someone will buy h

joining us now is khizr khan, a goldstar father whose son was killed in iraq. >>> mr.philippe we don't know, gold star families they've lost immediate family member or loved one in active duty. active-duty military and i just have to imagine that hearing the comments from donald trump, who, frankly, is not just a random person, he's a former president of the united states of america. it had to have some kind of impact on families such as yours. what did you think in the aftermath of hearing those comments from him? >> symone, i was saddened again and again . this is his division. his -- these awards are recognition of these service that the recipient and the sacrifices, so there is no comparison. both are equally high honors but that is trump. the civility in our political discourse just because of him being in the political debate is at our lowest. i was saddened to hear this again but allow me to cite two examples of the lack of understanding and appreciation of service and sacrifice of our veterans and our military personnel. in 2018, november 2010, in france, all m

we were with goldstar families. it is just something you do not do.hief would know that. politically you hit on something really important. there are a lot of people in these groups that are hard- working, middle-class folks look at this is cemetery as a place where our veterans were laid to rest fighting for our freedoms. he has made this even worse because he won't shut up. >> made a very political. what is your take on donald trump's newsstands on ivf? >> i think you will see anything he has to to get elected. i have said it on this program. he has a philosophy. if you live long enough eventually somebody will buy you a saddle butte he is hoping that somebody will because all he does is lie every single day.>> we are going to leave it there. thank you both very much. skine as early as 2 weeks. many saw clear or almost-clear skin. plus, many had clearer skin and less itch, even at 3 years. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal, cancers including lymphoma and skin, heart attack

trump and his visit to arlington, i'm ultimately going to differ to the views of the abbey gate goldstarumes that invited trump to be there. by their own account and public statements, they wanted him there and to take pictures. i'm ultimately going to defer to them. the abbey gate goldstar families are extreme the unhappy with the way that president biden, vice president harris and the biden administration have handled the disastrous evacuation, the disastrous withdrawal but also how they handled everything since then. president biden has still yet to say the names of the 13 service members who were lost out loud and in public. that is something they want. they want answers and accountability. they want the recognition from president biden he made a serious mistake here. when it comes to what happened at arlington, i ultimately just feel the need to kind of differ to the desires and wishes of the abbey gate goldstar families. host: newt gingrich, front page of today's commentary section of the washington times. he names all 13 of those who died at abbey gate. darren hoover of salt lake

not just those who are goldstar family members.se who are in fact and it highlights them and their service and as the recording shows tonight there are members who are upset that their family members were used in this way. showing a sacred location at the cemetery being used for political purposes. only someone like donald trump who had no respect for the military could possibly do this.>> the family of the green beret sergeant said no one asked for permission. i think that is a very important point. this is not just that people are buried here. heroes. that is what the arlington officials reiterated. they said that any campaign related activities are against federal law. whether you are a democrat or republican or whoever the republicans say that they are the law and order policy. this fall is a pretty basic federal law. what is going on here? >> just because you can do a thing does not mean you should. that is really what the donald trump campaign and his circle of friends and supporters seems to be there at mile. does not matter

that takes a little bit of option but he's going to let you fill in the blanks and sit in front of goldstar, we didn't have the mental health resources we deserved. no one on that panel that day top he came back from italy, they got they he came back from work. he let somebody call him major knowing is not what he is. he's not lying, he's letting you do that for when he goes the weapons i carried in war, i misspoke or that grandma i know what that grammar is, that's not bold, it's a lie. does it matter to people? i don't, it matters to me. >> that is the question, how much does it matter? so politicians lie but also depending on the politician, the media has a whole different way of treating things they don't like hearing. >> so far it doesn't seem he is the george santos of embellishes when it comes to his political resume but he didn't misrepresent a home in fort except what was supposed to be except or if they are in their spelling different. he said things that were factually incorrect so that has to be a level of deceitfulness there and that is the problem i have. i guess we joke that

thirty goldstar members lots of vets, patriots, law enforcement.ry single year's. the cause is fantastic to not change the channel four the next hour 20 we are going to track will cain in the shortest shorts all into the hudson river tomorrow morning will show the whole swim. i am not envious i noticed got in front of him. but god blessed people chuck becket in a moment. he was at military stepping up its posture in the middle east by sending in fighter jets but that's as america's report of that wording are wrong about the serious risk of carrying out any retaliatory strike on israel. retard u.s. army major dana petard joins us now to react too. general, thank you for being here. we thought we would see a retaliation for my ron a lot sooner for the assassination or the killing of the leader in tehran. but we haven't. why do you think we have not seen that attack yet? >> good morning. i wish i was there during polyps and push-ups and swimming and running also. pete: there's always at next year you are always invited. >> part of the reason why iran

in my opinion that's what he does when he sits there and talked to goldstar family members and lies abouten move. for those of you who don't know, his son did not die in combat, although he would have you believe he did. >> and he's made that claim repeatedly and i believe that's why people are so sensitive to it, they don't want to be lied to or misled. things are hard enough. it's an odd way for him to connect but it hasn't just been about his military service, he's also done the same thing when he talks about his wife's infertility struggles and he talks about ivf. his wife did not have ivf. that's an incredibly emotional and expensive and invasive procedure. she did not have that very procedure but he implies that she has. does he have a glitch? >> i don't know where this is coming from. what you said was so powerful and in my own tiny way i just say that as humans and americans, we all have our complex and personal experiences and if you are running for that high of office, it should not matter what your particular experience was because it will resonate with many people via it's aut

got him on the record about monday's incident at arlington national cemetery, he insists that the goldstar families invited him and asked for photos, let's play a portion of that. >> it would be so great, can we take a picture i said sure, i'm not thinking about a campaign. i stood there and i said if you would like to have a picture, we can have a picture. it this was a set up by the people in the administration that oh, trump is coming to arlington, that look so bad for us, you know it looks bad, the way they pulled out of afghanistan, that's a disgrace. >> dasha, he also tried to claim that his campaign had no role in getting this out on the internet even though it was their tiktok that amplified it or than anyone, talk to me a little more about what the trump campaign is saying about this incident? >> yeah, ryan, i followed up on that and i said, but your campaign put it out on their official tiktok and he claimed to have no knowledge of that, but i think one of the reasons this story continues to have legs is because of his history of comments that have been offensive to some military

trump's co-campaign manager told nbc news that trump went to the cemetery to honor goldstar families. not film a political campaign, he would never do that. j.d. vance tried to play it off as a media created furor. >> you are acting like donald trump film the tv commercial at a gravesite. he was there providing emotional support to a lot of brave americans who lost loved ones they never should of lost and there happened to be a camera there. >> oh, there happened to be a camera there. how stupid do you think we are? he was called to provide emotional support, a thing he does all the time away from the cameras. looking back, i camera. ra this is the video trump posted to social media that day. oc >> we lost 13 great, great people. what a horrible thing it was. we didn't lose one person in 18 months and then they took over. the disaster. >> that is a campaign ad film that arlington, obviously. also, dozens of u.s. service members died in action under donald trump. no ceremony for them. no ads. that is trump going to a military cemetery to film a video reminding viewers of u.s. deaths du

has attacked veterans like john mccain, a retired lieutenant colonel alexander vindman, and other goldstar family members. but this is a pretty new low even for somebody like donald trump. >> i recall in 2020 when he attacked the parents of -- i recall when he attacked john mccain. i recall when the stories broke about trump calling veterans suckers and losers. there is an endless pattern of donald trump's utter contempt for our military. there is an endless pattern of trump's hideous degree of just spleen and hatred for them, because he thinks they are desperate to be in the military because of their socioeconomic circumstances. he thinks it is like a welfare program that they should be ashamed of. donald trump's relationship to the u.s. military has long been one where he thinks that his luster makes him a leader. he a joked about one time, always wanting to get the purple heart. it's pretty easy, donald. you could have gotten the purple heart if you had not been a draft dodger during the vietnam war were 58,000 american men sacrificed their lives. donald trump spent his time during the

the privilege of joining president trump this morning at arlington cemetery, where he joined two goldstar families and loved ones of staff sergeant hoover and another sergeant, both of whom were two of the 13 killed in the abbey gate attack three years ago today. i can tell you as we were there, at the tomb of the unknown soldier, joining these marines loved ones, i felt the sorrow that he shared with them. in their loss. i felt and saw his sincere appreciation for these servicemen and women who paid the ultimate price and their loved ones to continue to grieve to this day. this is personal for me, as i know it is for so many of you here. this is real. it is not just words. i first deployed to iraq in 2005 with the hawaii army national guard. those of you who were deployed during that time though, it was the height of the war, and sadly, we took many casualties. every day, we were confronted with that high human cost of war and that sadness as we boarded the plane when we left that we were leaving some of our brothers and sisters behind. only toulouse others when we got home to suicide. -

and i think-- i do think this latest comment, i mean, he has insulted goldstar families, wounded soldiersost in combat, but medal of honor recipient, he awarded 12 of these himself when he was the president. seems to not understand what gallantry and selfless service means. i think it was a pretty significant moment actually, the national vfw, which has been very careful to their credit, to stay out of the political arena, certainly, they even made a statement that called this remarks from trump asinine, and the president of the vfw right now is a vietnam combat veteran, a bronze star valor recipient and purple heart recipient. these are across the spectrum, folks that are reasonably seeing this as they should, not as republican and democrat, but, are you a patriot? because this is a moment where, if you are a patriot, you have got to understand donald trump is not, and has never been and should not be anywhere near commanding our troops. >> congressman pat ryan. thank you very much for your time and for your service, we appreciate you. next hour, we will hear from senator, elizabeth warr

. >> to all the goldstar families our gratitude is everlasting and will be everlasting always. we will honor their memory by restoring a government that puts the american people, caused by kamala harris, joe biden, the humiliation afghanistan startedt the credibility alhal around thu world. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique. here's an important benefit for veteran homeowners who need cash. you can take out $70,000 or more with the newday 100 va cash out loan. with home values still close to all-time highs, now's the time to turn your home equity into cash. rates on credit cards and car loans have skyrocketed. pay off those high rate cards and costly car and truck loans and save hundreds of dollars a month, thousands a year. need cash? call

walz should respond to all of that, should he respond to that tonight well, first of all, he's a goldstar son. >> i lost my dad in the vietnam war. you can imagine how i feel about a man who avoided the vietnam war by saying it flat feet, criticizing a man who served 24 years at his own election in the united states it's military. tim walz is an honorable man, served with grace and distinction and to try to shame him is one of most pathetic statements of a politician i've ever heard in my entire life. and he did not leave the national guard because he was worried of a deployment. he left to run for office i know the man and he can fix a lawnmower, you can plow his driveway. it's been a national guardsman, a teacher at football coach at governor, and a congressman. he's a genuinely good man and i'm thrilled and i think it's shameful how they're treating and how progressive was governor walz as governor of minnesota? i mean, republicans have been trying to paint him as a very progressive out of step. governor. what do you think what your response to? i think tim walz might be the most impor

and yet, when it comes down to it, time and again, whether it is goldstar families, whether it is medalomething broken in donald trump that makes him impossible for him to understand that kind of sacrifice and heroism. >> certainly. well said. and, as the campaigns often does, they are, indeed doubling down over what happened there, they are refusing to assert any responsibility, and trump's running mate, jd vance, is doing the same on a different matter. after newly unearthed comments show in criticizing the president of the american federation of teachers for not having children. let's take a look at man's's original remarks back in 2021, followed by his new comments, yesterday. >> so many leaders of the left -- and i hate to be so personal about this, but they are people without kids trying to brainwash the minds of our children. and that really disoriented me and it really disturbs me. randi weingarten, the head of the most powerful teacher's union in the country, she does have a single child. if she wants to brainwash and destroy the minds of children, she should have some of her o

caller: the anniversary of afghanistan, no mention of the goldstar families. can get a free abortion outside the democratic convention. they are burning flags outside. all trump, no policy. they say democracy is at risk. she did not get one vote. it is just amazing to me. not to mention over 10 million immigrants illegally crossing our border. who get more rights than i do. it is sad to me the way that this country is going. i work hard. i just had to take a third job and drive a cab at night to pay the bills in new york. it is crazy. host: independent line in connecticut. caller: hello and good morning i am calling to complain. i just do not know what has happened to c-span. i think i read that you guys are under new ownership. i thought you were independent funded by the cable companies all of these years. host: we are. caller: the morning's program was so far left i cannot take it. the one guy calls and and does not even identify anything and asks what she thinks of the character of a candidate. and all the woman does is immediately jumped to try. what abou
