ME THIS MORNING.
ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW
BOOK.
>>> I WANT TO TURN BACK NOW TO
THAT NEW STUNNING REPORTING FROM
"THE ATLANTIC" THAT PRESIDENT
TRUMP CALLED AMERICANS WHO DIED
IN WAR LOSERS AND SUCKERS DURING
A TRIP HE HAD IN PARIS IN 2018.
THE REPORT ALSO INCLUDES
DISPARAGING REMARKS ABOUT THE
LATE SENATOR JOHN McCAIN WHO WAS
A PRISONER OF WAR.
I WANT TO BRING IN A REALLY
IMPRESSIVE YOUNG MAN TO REACT TO
THIS.
JORDAN KENNEDY.
HE’S A GOLD STAR SON.
HE JOINS ME NOW.
HIS FATHER CHARLES WAS KILLED BY
A ROADSIDE BOMB IN IRAQ IN 2006
WHEN JORDAN WAS JUST 7 MONTHS
OLD.
JORDAN, YOU’RE A 14-YEAR-OLD
BOY.
YOU WATCH THE NEWS.
YOU FOLLOW TWITTER.
WHAT’S YOUR REACTION TODAY TO
THIS REPORT THAT THE PRESIDENT
SPOKE ABOUT FALLEN HEROES
CALLING THEM LOSERS AND SUCKERS?
>> WELL, HONESTLY, I DON’T THINK
HE SHOULD BE SAYING THAT TO MANY
MILITARY FAMILIES WHO HAVE
HONESTLY RISKED EVERYTHING FOR
THIS COUNTRY AND THAT HE SHOULD
BE APPRECIATIVE AND NOT
CRITICIZING THEM WHEN HE HASN’T
EVEN BEEN -- HE DOESN’T KNOW
WHAT IT’S LIKE TO GO TO WAR.
HE HASN’T BEEN TO WAR.
AND EVERYBODY’S FAMILIES, IF
THEY ARE ALIVE OR NOT, ARE STILL
HEROES.
THEY RISK THEIR LIVES FOR THE
COUNTRY TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS,
AND THAT IS DONALD TRUMP
INCLUDED.
WHEN HE WAS A CITIZEN AND STILL
NOW.
AND HE NEEDS TO BE ON THEIR SIDE
AND THAT EVERYBODY -- ALL
MILITARY FAMILIES HAVE
SACRIFICED SO MUCH AND THE
PEOPLE WHO FIGHT ARE HEROES.
>> JORDAN, THE PRESIDENT OFTEN
WATCHES MORNING TV, CABLE NEWS.
ASSUMING HE’S WATCHING RIGHT
NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY
TO HIM?
>> WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY
THAT YOU SHOULDN’T BE
CRITICIZING ANY FAMILY --
MILITARY FAMILIES OR MILITARY
PEOPLE THAT HAVE DIED FOR THE
COUNTRY.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THEIR
SIDE.
YOU ARE THEIR COMMANDER IN
CHIEF.
AND YOU NEED TO BE MORE
RESPECTFUL.
>> JORDAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
JOINING ME TODAY.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU JOINING
