Urban: I’m Not Dismissing Gen. Kelly’s Experience But My First- Hand Experience with Trump Is Different

PHILLIP If you had ░░░░░░░░ I mean you probably ░░░░░░░░ about some of these ░░░░░░░░ I m not sure ░░░░░░░░ you would have defended ░░░░░░░░ on this So why ░░░░░░░░ you defend him now ░░░░░░░░ The reason the reason ░░░░░░░░ m bringing it up ░░░░░░░░ because and I revere ░░░░░░░░ military I m not ░░░░░░░░ the military I didn ░░░░░░░░ serve I revere people ░░░░░░░░ do And there are ░░░░░░░░ varying amount of opinions ░░░░░░░░ Trump and the current ░░░░░░░░ from people up and ░░░░░░░░ the military As David ░░░░░░░░ earlier there are lots ░░░░░░░░ military officers RIECKHOFF Not ░░░░░░░░ all the senior officials ░░░░░░░░ served with him and ░░░░░░░░ There are lots of ░░░░░░░░ and file who support ░░░░░░░░ and I m sure ░░░░░░░░ are some that the ░░░░░░░░ the other party So ░░░░░░░░ m hearing from lots ░░░░░░░░ different voices And tonight ░░░░░░░░ re fully focused on ░░░░░░░░ military voices who are ░░░░░░░░ of Trump but we ░░░░░░░░ to be forgetting the ░░░░░░░░ of the military by ░░░░░░░░ Harris and specifically it ░░░░░░░░ been in the news ░░░░░░░░ this campaign these soldiers ░░░░░░░░ from Afghanistan Look I ░░░░░░░░ not in the community ░░░░░░░░ I respect everybody s ░░░░░░░░ but I just think ░░░░░░░░ s a one sided ░░░░░░░░ PHILLIP No one has ░░░░░░░░ accused Biden and Harris ░░░░░░░░ disparaging the families of ░░░░░░░░ who lost their lives ░░░░░░░░ service JENNINGS Well they ░░░░░░░░ accused them of not ░░░░░░░░ them the time of ░░░░░░░░ Harris has never spoken ░░░░░░░░ them and they say ░░░░░░░░ have been neglected by ░░░░░░░░ White House I think ░░░░░░░░ s a serious PHILLIP ░░░░░░░░ Scott again you re ░░░░░░░░ the subject You re ░░░░░░░░ the subject JENNINGS No ░░░░░░░░ I have been extremely ░░░░░░░░ of the Biden handling ░░░░░░░░ Abbey Gate as have ░░░░░░░░ other people and I ░░░░░░░░ the key here is ░░░░░░░░ objective I think that ░░░░░░░░ Gate was a low ░░░░░░░░ of the Biden presidency ░░░░░░░░ lost me and a ░░░░░░░░ of people on that ░░░░░░░░ but that doesn t ░░░░░░░░ that you can t ░░░░░░░░ evaluate someone else on ░░░░░░░░ or not they re ░░░░░░░░ to be commander in ░░░░░░░░ And that s ultimately ░░░░░░░░ we re talking about ░░░░░░░░ We re talking about ░░░░░░░░ or not mostly independents ░░░░░░░░ key swing states many ░░░░░░░░ which are veterans are ░░░░░░░░ to determine this election ░░░░░░░░ re going to decide ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ on character they re ░░░░░░░░ to judge on the ░░░░░░░░ in chief test and ░░░░░░░░ re going to judge ░░░░░░░░ how they ultimately feel ░░░░░░░░ safety and security And ░░░░░░░░ may impact that decision ░░░░░░░░ s why Kelly is ░░░░░░░░ out now He wants ░░░░░░░░ to know how he ░░░░░░░░ And there may be ░░░░░░░░ who will speak out ░░░░░░░░ the next couple of ░░░░░░░░ we re not past ░░░░░░░░ October surprise but he ░░░░░░░░ everybody to hear it ░░░░░░░░ he wants it to ░░░░░░░░ one of the last ░░░░░░░░ you hear before you ░░░░░░░░ to the polls URBAN ░░░░░░░░ will just say this ░░░░░░░░ spent some time with ░░░░░░░░ president I was a ░░░░░░░░ at American Battle Monuments ░░░░░░░░ I was there with ░░░░░░░░ Kelly and General Dunford ░░░░░░░░ Aisne Marne cemetery story ░░░░░░░░ story that The Atlantic ░░░░░░░░ not the story today ░░░░░░░░ the previous story about ░░░░░░░░ and losers is complete ░░░░░░░░ Zach Fuentes and Dan ░░░░░░░░ and others who canceled ░░░░░░░░ trip before Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ starts out Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ a trip to the ░░░░░░░░ It was pouring rain ░░░░░░░░ was no way to ░░░░░░░░ there A two hour ░░░░░░░░ in a car I ░░░░░░░░ with General Kelly I ░░░░░░░░ with General dunford I ░░░░░░░░ with others to the ░░░░░░░░ as the chairman I ░░░░░░░░ to the top of ░░░░░░░░ hill November 10th is ░░░░░░░░ marine corps birthday That ░░░░░░░░ sacred ground Aisne Marne ░░░░░░░░ sacred ground excuse me ░░░░░░░░ s Belleau Wood cemetery ░░░░░░░░ Aisne Marne I wanted ░░░░░░░░ go to the Aisne ░░░░░░░░ cemetery Belleau Wood cemetery ░░░░░░░░ the Marine Corps there ░░░░░░░░ a monument at the ░░░░░░░░ I went to the ░░░░░░░░ there with some other ░░░░░░░░ We dragged a shot ░░░░░░░░ honor of General Kelly ░░░░░░░░ son There was no ░░░░░░░░ about how terrible Donald ░░░░░░░░ was at that time ░░░░░░░░ But do you think ░░░░░░░░ I m not doubting ░░░░░░░░ on Listen I m ░░░░░░░░ talking about PHILLIP Just ░░░░░░░░ a question here I ░░░░░░░░ that this is your ░░░░░░░░ on this URBAN I ░░░░░░░░ very shocked because I ░░░░░░░░ with Trump a lot ░░░░░░░░ You talked about it ░░░░░░░░ lot But do you ░░░░░░░░ acknowledge John Kelly was ░░░░░░░░ chief of staff he ░░░░░░░░ with Trump at every ░░░░░░░░ do you acknowledge that ░░░░░░░░ may not have been ░░░░░░░░ at that moment URBAN ░░░░░░░░ is not my experience ░░░░░░░░ or at any of ░░░░░░░░ other moments that John ░░░░░░░░ says where this happened ░░░░░░░░ I do not doubt ░░░░░░░░ Kelly s word for ░░░░░░░░ second There s context ░░░░░░░░ things and I m ░░░░░░░░ telling you in the ░░░░░░░░ times that I ve ░░░░░░░░ with the president in ░░░░░░░░ settings every Army Navy ░░░░░░░░ I went with the ░░░░░░░░ I greeted wounded warriors ░░░░░░░░ their families Gold Star ░░░░░░░░ with the president I ░░░░░░░░ them to the president ░░░░░░░░ the stadium in the ░░░░░░░░ House and other places ░░░░░░░░ of earshot of people ░░░░░░░░ saw firsthand how he ░░░░░░░░ with these people wounded ░░░░░░░░ disfigured soldiers their families ░░░░░░░░ people dead kids I ░░░░░░░░ terrible situations So my ░░░░░░░░ hand experience is something ░░░░░░░░ I m not dismissing ░░░░░░░░ Kelly s experience I ░░░░░░░░ speaking my mind I ░░░░░░░░ speaking my mind PHILLIP ░░░░░░░░ for one second just ░░░░░░░░ one second RIECKHOFF We ░░░░░░░░ have our own personal ░░░░░░░░ of witnessing what he ░░░░░░░░ year after year Allison ░░░░░░░░ s right RIECKHOFF You ░░░░░░░░ there I respect your ░░░░░░░░ and you saw that ░░░░░░░░ I also saw what ░░░░░░░░ said about John McCain ░░░░░░░░ I saw what he ░░░░░░░░ to say consistently about ░░░░░░░░ just military people but ░░░░░░░░ kinds of people I ░░░░░░░░ an interview earlier today ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t want him ░░░░░░░░ my kids because not ░░░░░░░░ are our enemies watching ░░░░░░░░ not only are our ░░░░░░░░ watching our children are ░░░░░░░░ And this is a ░░░░░░░░ we expect to represent ░░░░░░░░ office with honor and ░░░░░░░░ and that s something ░░░░░░░░ ve all seen for ░░░░░░░░ and years And we ░░░░░░░░ all make our judgment ░░░░░░░░ we go to the ░░░░░░░░ booth.”
