00:00The altercation at Arlington Cemetery is the media creating a story where I really don't think that there is one.

00:06There is verifiable evidence...

00:11There is verifiable evidence that the campaign was allowed to have a photographer there.

00:17There's verifiable... they were invited to have a photographer there.

00:20There's verifiable evidence that the families of these poor people

00:23who had their loved ones die three years ago at Abbey Road,

00:26they had... Abbey Gate, those 13 Americans, a lot of them were there with the president.

00:33They invited him to be there and to support them.

00:36That's not an insult to the memories of their loved ones.

00:40They wanted Donald Trump there and thank God that we have a president who stands with our veterans

00:45instead of one who runs away from them.

00:49Now, we...

00:50Now, yeah, I mean, it is amazing to me that you have apparently somebody at Arlington Cemetery,

00:57some staff member, had a little disagreement with somebody

01:00and they have turned... the media has turned this into a national news story.

01:04You know what I think our veterans care a lot more about?

01:07That Kamala Harris' VP nominee lied about his military service.

01:10I think that our veterans care a lot more about that.

01:14And the other thing that our veterans care...

01:17The other thing our veterans care a lot more about is that three years ago,

01:2013 brave, innocent Americans died,

01:24and they died because Kamala Harris refused to do her job

01:28and there hasn't been a single investigation or a single firing.

01:31I don't... I don't...

01:34Look, sometimes mistakes happen.

01:37That's just the nature of government, the nature of military service.

01:40But to have those 13 Americans lose their lives and not fire a single person is disgraceful.

01:46Kamala Harris is disgraceful.

01:48If we were to talk about a story out of those 13 brave, innocent Americans who lost their lives,

01:53it's that Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel

01:56that she won't even do an investigation into what happened

01:59and she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up?

02:02She can...

02:03She can go to hell.
