Or wherever you listen to learn more. I supported for president.
I raised a million dollars once a lot of money. I supported and we lost let us down, but I lost so never like them
what you have to that, because I don't like what Frank Frank when you get to me is that war here or Euro he's a war I run up. Yours is a war hero, presumes capture. I like people, weren't captured, okay, I hated
John Donald Trump, owe you an apology? No, I don't
I think so, but I think he made it whole and apology to the families and of those who have sacrificed in conflict and then and those who lived
you're goin, Nay prison experience in serving their country.
In the arena, Str used to say, but in the case of many of our veterans wooden with the Trump said that he prefers to be with people who are who are not captured the great honor of my life.
To serve in the company of heroes I'm not talking about, but those who were my senior ranking officers. People like Chrome by day congressional medal of Honor one on those inspired us to do things if we had a wife wouldn't have been capable of doing those are the people that I think he ocean polishing too. There are so
people who miss the great John Mccain laid Senator John Mccain morning, job back and twenty fifteen reacting there for them
This time too, Donald Trump disparaging his military service
this morning, new reporting from Jeffrey Gold,
in the Atlantic magazine has more details on the president's fixation
with Mccain and
a whole lot more good morning.
Welcome to morning Joe, it is Friday September fourth alone
Joe and me. We have Washington Anchor for BBC World NEWS. America caddy k what
rapporteur for the Associated Press, Jonathan Le Maire, pause surprised
calmness and associate at the Washington, Post and Emerson BC
political analysts, Eugene Robinson
The editor in chief of the Atlantic magazine Jeffrey Goldberg,
HU as we said, is the author of that new piece on President Trump disparaging a marrow.
As war dead in a moment, we're going to get new reporting
Joe Biden visit to Canosa Wisconsin yesterday, it was in
dark contrast to the president's visit earlier in the week with Biden, call
for an end to system
like racism, while also condemning looting
and violence and Biden also met privately with members of Jacob Blake's,
anyway for ninety minute conversation. That blood
Kim himself joined by phone, but we will
again this morning but Jeffreys New reporting on President tromp using words like losers and suckers, to describe it
I can soldiers repeatedly despair,
king, the intelligence of service members and asking that wounded veterans be kept
of military parades citing food
Unnamed people with first hand, knowledge of the president's Comments- Jeffrey writes that when trunk cancel the visit to an amount
I can cemetery near Paris and twenty eighteen
blamed rang for the last minute decision, saying that the helicopter couldn't fly and that the secret service wouldn't drive him there. Neither claim was true Trump rejected. The idea.
The visit because he feared his hair would become dishevelled and the rain and because he did not believe it important to honour american war dead.
Conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit Trump said. Why should I go to that cemetery? Its filled with losers,
in the supper conversation on the same tramp tramp referred to them.
An eighteen hundreds Marines who lost
Their lives at Bello would as suckers forgetting killed. So
Jeffrey. Let's start their many more excerpts, Serbs going to read from this year incredible reporting, but first, let's
let's, let's talk about the genesis of this article
when, when did you began reporting on this
and how did they come together? Like
like a lot of reporters, I mean we hear things all the time
and I probably then
gathering string as they say on this. For some time
I just came
gather recently. I've been interested since two thousand and four
teen actually knew them
in the president's attitude toward military service, because, like a lot of
people. I thought when he disparage John Mccain
two thousand and fifteen. I sought wrongly that
I would be the end of his campaign and of data from campaign, because I know that one previously inviolate rule in american politics, as you tone you don't mark,
one grows
and so I just found his. I just found his general attitude towards service very novel.
And Simon listening for several years. People talk about.
Yeah we said yesterday Jeffrey, we showed a military times Paul
that shows that for the first time and
some time, even though
the sixteen percent of active duty, military
a graphic,
that plurality,
what did Joe Biden over Donald Trump
There has been this great friction between millet
Harry leaders and the present for some time, and
certainly noted it and your conversations in the past in your interviews in the past, with former defence sector
Harry James matters,
Firstly, we have heard General Kelly at times also expressed
as concerns as well as an Romanians, and so many other military leaders and you get the sands.
For anybody. That's ever worked in the Pentagon
our work with
the Pentagon, worked around the Pentagon stories like these do not
contain themselves inside one office,
are one wing of that Pentagon. It now
is understood throughout the culture ride. I would
I say that I would say that there's
general sort of shocking disbelief
someone, not even that
The person would articulate views.
That way, I think, there's genuine curiosity about why a person
everything that way or how person comes to those stocks. It said she,
a regular. It in a country that values veterans that that values
No, it's service, generally military service, in particular, so there's just a job.
There are all kinds of confusion, even
more than anger. I just disbelief, I would say in a lot of circles in you, you ve heard people
when those same circles and talk about it,
and it was just ass. It was
the task to try to try to bring this down to concrete, concrete details
Jeffrey also, reports on President Trump's. Twenty seventeen memorial day visit to our
international cemetery, during which he was accompanied by then Socrates,
Homeland Security, John Kelly, accordingly,
magazine tromp was meant on this visit to join John Kelly in paying research
at his sons grave and to comfort. The families
other fallen service members. But it
wearing two sources with knowledge of this visit Trump while stand
by Robert Kelly's grave turned around
Clay to his father and said I don't get it. What was in it for them Kelly,
who declined to comment for this story initially believed people close to him said that trumpets making a ham
the reference to the selflessness of Amerika,
volunteer force, but later
came to realize that trunk simply does not understand non transactional life choices in
another example of what Jeffrey calls present in trumps material focus.
World view. He writes the president believes,
nothing is worth doing without the promise of monetary pay back and that talented people
who pursue riches are who don't pursuit
is our losers according to
witnesses after a White House briefing given by the Then Chair
The joint chiefs of Staff General Joe Danforth Trump turned to
AIDS, and said that guy a smart. Why did he joined them
Terry and so Jeffrey. This
instead that underlined
I said yes, people reading these clothes.
We'll be shocked, even though they nay many believe that day,
had already seen the low point of of Donald Trump.
Mindset of his attitude towards America, but people read it of course, be shocked by
You said that you began pudding.
Story. Together, you were curious white. What would make
somebody this way, and it does from
it seems like your conclusion. Is that, as we always say about Donald Trump, foreign policy follow the money
If you want to understand why close to some countries and not close to others, it has to do with his own person.
Finances?
This case, though,
you say, is attitude towards the military, also
has to do with his financial view of the world, can understand why anybody would sacrifice for their country.
I think, he's genuinely confused by service. I really do
you know I was thinking about this yesterday, if, if people had come
May during the presidencies of George W Bush of Iraq Obama instead, that the president said Excellency about military service about different
factors of of the military in. I would find it very hard to believe
but I do think that these comments are in line with a jerk
and probably stated outlook about the report
material gain importance of not being a loser. You know it's, it gets it. It's interesting. If you look at his language to the years of the world is a very, very start binary for by the president.
There are losers and winners, you don't wanna get caught me around cited at lie, and he looks at people that you, Sir,
this over over compensation or or or do.
You're a service, in particular the idea that
would willingly. I think the volunteer force in particular kind of confuses him, because why would you ever actually relies
risk full salary of sixty four thousand out
it doesn't make. Any sense, is my point in it worthy
so it comes out at this kind of I dont, get it what's in it for a man,
which is the thing that he said, the general Kelly Ethic Crave sack sought
yeah, there's also Jeffreys cutting out will get back to him and one second, but make it. There's also a part
A portion of the story
where Jeffrey reports from sources clothes do
tromp, family, Mary Tromp, in fact
about it in a book that, when Don Junior had decided
to go into the military, Donald Trump threatened to disown him if he did Jefferies
describes. President trumps fixation on staging military parades, but only a certain sort. Reading from the
article in a twenty eight,
in White House planning meeting for such an event, Trump Ass, his staff not to include wounded veterans on grounds
that spectators would feel uncomfortable
presence of amputees, nobody
to see that he said
as we said. The new report also notes. President trumps continued fixation on the late Senator John Mccain, one of the few
prominent Republicans to continue criticising him after human
The nomination, quoting from Jeff's,
Yes, when Mccain died in an honest and twenty eighteen in
his senior staff according to three
sources with direct knowledge of this event, we're not
going to support that losers funeral and he became fear
when he saw flags.
Lowered to half staff. What the f are we,
doing that for guy wasn't,
I think loser the play
and it was not invited to Mccain's funeral, of course, Jeffrey. The
One of the many
ironies of the trumpet minutes.
Asian funds, political rises, the very people who voted domains,
became,
there are now many in two thousand eight, the very people who have spent the last fifty years since the Vietnam WAR, claiming to
the ones that are upheld. The dignity of
fighting men and women be
Vietnam or Iraq or Afghanistan or in Iraq. Yet again been Republicans
I've been many, the same people who are now supporting Donald Trump
many the same people who were supporting a man who, according again
to form
very good sources for not one
two for sources.
Are supporting a man who consider
are more, he rose and veterans and even men
women who serve in the military as suckers Andalusia sets its it's inexplicable to me. Why? What? What are your thoughts? Well,
this thing here is that this is not surprising, because I go back to two thousand and fifteen. You don't go
The two thousand and fifteen hee hee hee disparaged, Darn Mccain's war,
record John Mccain, either
looking nominee previous republican nominee for president by the way
raised the alarm here up here
spares John Mccain in ways that no one has ever heard of a national leader disparage appeal, W so
there's nothing new under the sun in a kind of way? Maybe I'm being maybe I'm not
considering that the shop as much of these particular words I reported yesterday by the Republican Party, the voters who vote
we're going, knew full well his attitude towards John Mccain as
he doesn't even some were here. So you know I am. This is part of a continuing. This is not some kind of some kind, a break,
suddenly understand now trumpeted oblivion.
A job and murder of going back to two thousand
fifteen me can I
remember in December of twenty fifteen, pushing Donald Trump on Vladimir Putin,
talked about, how is a strong leader and when
continually press. Engi assassin is political,
on its he is. He then
reference to Iraq and said well, we kill a lot of people, the two and, of course you fast forward
five years he still still defending five years later,
A more still remaining quiet on the poisoning of political
parliament still remaining quiet on bounties on
american soldiers heads in Afghanistan who are sacrificing people that he would probably call.
Lockers and losers and
no. I will not speak out and and
to those service people? Why? What about service
funds to this story from the White House. What what have you heard?
first of all, this is obviously an extraordinary story and, as you say, and reinforces so much of what we ve heard from Donald Trump as a candidate
frankly informs us foreign policy. Now it should be said
White House pushed back, he has a story immediately in and forcefully last night coordinated response they put out statements deny every part of it. They put out travel records that suggest that the president did not go to that cemetery in France because, indeed of a bad weather call they ve. They fought it out a memo that suggested as much that that was the military decision. It was not presidents.
Also, of course, for the President himself when he returned last night from a speech of Pennsylvania, he spoke on the tarmac, a joint, been Andrews, joint base, Andrews and denied the entire
saying, but why has the denials are being met with such gaps and, of course is because this story is so consistent with what he has said about John Mccain. It is so consistent with his transactional nature, a view of a foreign policy and just service itself. It is so consistent with this idea that he is no
their tries in terms of our american you'd on the world. There is no attempt here to set an example or were to be a role model. He is cosy up to two to dictators at times. There's no discussion of human rights on the world scene.
There's no attempt to shine a light of a presidency on a bad situation to call for reform were to make war for democratic freedom. That's not what
just as I also think Joe, and if, if Jeffreys kick it is there, maybe he can answer is well. Doesn't it
the call a spotlight on the military we saw after the president cleared Lafayettes, where he was reviewed by General Milly,
spurred on general, managed to patent not bad afterwards, denouncing the use of the military service shouldn't this story at all shouldn't this moment also call for some of these who serve within weather
mass meticulous John Kelly to go on the record and discuss these things. Should this be the moment where they step into the spotlight and defend the american soldiers so who have given their lives for their country?.
His MIKE isn't working, I have to tell you it does give a sense of the president's war and
and that is that in and it is undermining to our country every bit of it.
Here are some of the president's denials, immediate denials last night, that Jonathan Le Maire just mention take a look at that I would make statements negative drew
Military and our fallen heroes were nobody's done. What I've done with the budgets with the military budgets would get it.
Hey- raises raw military. It is a disgraceful situation by a magazine that
terrible magazine. I don't read it, but I just
at about it. They made it up ad. Probably it's a couple of people that have been made,
using the administration that I got rid of, and I couldn't get rid of a fast enough, but
moreover, just made up here,
shortly after he also released a torrent on twitter writing.
Part Claude. I was ever a big fan of John Mccain disagree with him on many things.
The lowering of our nations american flags and the first class funeral he was given by our country had to be approved by me.
As president, and I did so without hesitation or complaint, quite
contrary I felt it was a well deserved. Although whenever
John a loser and swear on whatever or whoever. I was asked
swear on that, I never called our great fallen soldiers.
Anything other than heroes, number of it
Illustration officials also issued unequivocal. Denials will note that, despite
Then that tweed saying he never called Mccain a loser,
the sound bite that we opened with the show on where Trump.
They didn't like Mccain after he lost
thousand eight election because quote I D
like losers. He also
tweeted an article at the time
the headlines about Donald Trump, John Mccain,
is a loser
and a senior defence department, official confirmed
if he Goldberg story in its entirety, especially ground
about the late Senator John Mccain and form
Marine General John Kelly, Donald Trump, former chief of staff, and that
said Jane. That is from a piece James Rapporteur,
Donald Trump.
Did say, did do things Jeffrey Goldberg. Our arm arm,
we're still working on Jeffreys MIKE Gene
and send Donald Trump is correct. In one thing, he said last night, obviously shaken by the fact that his words were coming back to haunt him and where we know
these sources are, and they are people
Given
decades of their lives their rights in this country and are patriots unlike Donald Trump but
done. Job is right about one thing he has done fades things regarding the military that nobody else is has done
for he has attacked war
Europe is like John Mccain, and even though he lied last night said it swear on whatever we have him on his hate
calling John Mccain a loser for being captured.
Because of services, a young man with other
he rose men that I know like by day he
also is denigrated and undermine NATO. An ally
since that helped us defeat
we at communism? He's
trying to get it. For that.
Asked for years which undermines our military? He
undermined our military and our allies in Syria abandoned
long term allies there he's taking
Saddam Germany right now also cause
consternation
to our allies and all
because in consternation to our troops and Jean
just bears repeating, because so many people who try to make a living off of anti Anti Trump ISM unclaimed their set themselves to be american patriots,
bring it up, but
This is a man who, despite Intel brief,
and warnings? This is a man who refuses to condemn
the placing of boundaries on their heads of young, a marrow
and soldiers and rains and airmen and sailors. It is it
his his record towards the military is disgraceful out in the
when, even without these, for a name sources.
It really is in its time for money command. First Jefferson is excellent and groundbreaking reporting better than I do believe it grow.
Britain, and also I will since just story was published
The detailed work confirmed not just by the Associated Press but by the Washington Post as well. So I believe every word of the article. I think I think people should, and it is- and I think that we can just sort of Russia
ass, though some say oh well, you know me,
The Donald Trump was a bad person. We knew he with a dark as its we had. You know a sort of a black hole workers. Soul should be areas, it is shocking and and and should be shocking either
to everyone that stand shutters person. This first
is present
of the United States commander in chief of the armed forces and
head of state of our country, it is,
is, would be unbelievable if we did not know this about Donald Trump already, but to see it
laid out that he would speak to John Kelly that way as they were going to visit the grave of his son
tat. He would worry more about his hair than honouring. The policy in Europe is
It's entirely consistent with what we know about the proper, and yet it is its sole beyond the pale and so are unacceptable in that the president dad
We have to look at this and we have the sort of way take it, and if it does, it has just done it first. Just yet

He is just I served for some time.
In Washington, and so
with at least
becoming endowing the thousand people, men and women.
Servants liberals, I think, a couple so
so as to extend their couple of libertarians mixed in there.
I must say all the people across the thousands plus people that I crossed serving in government Donald.
Tromp when you this even before this portrait, but this laid out in the sharpest of relief so far
is singularly unpatriotic
singularly on fear,
singularly vein.
Singularly ignorant
of american history may explain. I've always thought it explained. Why here too,
The shadow constitutional norms and
Medical Norms away he dead because he was so
Ignorant of our history so ignorant of the constitution,
so drawn to dictators not well and again
because of a complete ignorance of
this country of this
Institutional Republic, the way that James Madison and our founders set it up system of checks
some balances. All the thing said
Additional conservatives like myself celebrated in here
pass that now, so many of them have completely
out the window because they have now become members of this.
Now they called him everything they grew up, believing everything they grew up. Reading eyes taken back seat to
trying to stay close to power as possible, and we could say that not just
social conservatives. You could say that a lot of evangelical pastors and but Catty k this
parents plays out in
Jeffreys Articles when Donald Trump asks who were the good guys,
in world war why
were the good guys in the great war and
thus in complete ignorance as to why the United States, and why Woodrow Wilson, who wanted to stay out of the war, had to fly
We go under the war
for one german provocation after another. Again, I think it
It's too. This transactional nature the view of the world that Donald Trump has that there was has to be a kind of tangible.
I didn't leave monetary quid pro quo right. Why would you go to defend another continent? Send your p
Let it costs a lot of money if you're, not gonna, get something directly in return way, doesn't see as the directly in the to return, but because perhaps it's more subtle and a very big paycheck. I spoke to a former
senior officials, the Pentagon last night about this
come, and she is somebody that consume calls himself a conservative and we were talking about the peace in the thing that really almost had her
in. She was so emotional about this with the notion that Donald Trump doesn't
stand servers, doesn't understand doing something.
For someone else in the greater good- and I think it is really
stride. I dont know that she voted Donald Trump Lastra time around. Judging from what
who sang last night, she suck me is not voting for him this time around, but she's in the sky. I am conservative. This is one of the tenants of conservatism. Is military
others in the in the service,
country in our constitution and he doesn't get
at all and he doesn't get it because he doesn't know empathy.
And if you don't know empathy, you can't understand service for, and I think I was really struck- that of all the things misuse appalled by the whole article, but of all the things it was that that's that sense of
essence of what it means to serve their country, and he just doesn't get it. She felt
means we are in a new, and we were talking about this in terms of the military are
military men and women, who, like I say,
so much for us every day and they sacrifice.
Is because they love their country. How many stories
have. We heard
how many people close to
still. We now,
who were moved?
after nine eleven
young man who could have done whatever they wanted to do. Young women,
could have done, whatever they wanted to do, staying home felt the call after
eleven sir to go serve their country.
So yes, there is that part of it, but this also explains why Donald Trump,
would have such contempt for
the men and women of the State Department
HU as young
students decided they would
They deserve their country,
And they wanted to go into government because they believed
and the american dream, and they wanted to protect the american dream they wanted to.
To spread american values across the globe or
men and women that are serving right now in the justice department? Who see,
They are now being run by
Donald Trump Roy Coun and despite very
service giving their life to the Justice Department. They think
I'll have to watch
turning general go in front of cameras and say
he doesn't know with folding twice, is legal or not winning North Carolina? That's a felony
and he knows that its illegal.
Forgive me for going on, but this is so important because I want to say this:
To the men and women who are serving and the FBI
the men and women, who are
being on the CIA, the professionals,
who are serving and government
offices all across Washington DC all across the country and all
ass, the world.
This is disconcerting and
I'll drop is in the minority
overwhelming majority of Americans.
Hold you up.
And they salute you. I'd appreciate
you take a picture of Donald Trump daylight. While I'm saying this.
The overwhelming majority of Americans of
the majority of Americans. They salute Yale
I understand that so many of you in the CIA are made
eight sacrifices.
Have had to leave your families for months at a time,
have had to go overseas
Some in view of the FBI,
you risk your life for us every day, some review in the State Department
Who is much as you can? Despite the fact you have leaders
that are more interested in,
in cronies of present the United States than serving this country, who won't even defend your name when Donald Trump attacks
understand your respected
you are loved by Americans and we salute you for your service, just like we do every man and woman
the United States military. What about the people who could make it
prince in a situation like this, where publicans
in the Senate and in Congress who stand
this president every day, no matter what boundary he breaks, do they respect
if we were jointly decided Georgia that need to speak out, and I think some of them will. I really do. I think some of em well because
because many of them do not say this now the Jeffreys off the show, and if
If I'm wrong, these people can come out and say so, but then
General Kelly.
And they understand that Jim
Kelly was there and experience sullen this and enough Jeffrey weren't, telling the truth that General Kelly would speak out. They understand that second
Harry of Defence, James Madison General matters, he was there.
He saw so much of this happening day in and day out. If one
every were saying were true:
general matters, would speak out again
This is my good friends.
I served with in the house
representatives that are now serving the United

I want to turn now to a very stark contrast to what we just been talking about, and that is Joe Biden visit yesterday to Wisconsin, where he met
and his wife Jill as well met privately with members of Jacob Black.
Family for a ninety minute conversation Jacob also joined by phone,
The meeting took place in Milwaukee before Biden headed to Canosa, where Blake a black man or shot
at least seven times in the back by a white police office
and is now paralyzed according to blame
families attorney bankrupt. The family was grateful,
The meeting and was impressed at
five entreated treated Jacob Junior with humanity and care, the former vice
and then participated in a community meeting and canosa where he spoke. It grace Lutheran church about his conversation with the Blake family.
Had an opportunity to spend some time we check up on the phone,
he talked about how nothing we're gonna defeated
where they walked together. Not he was not going to give up and down,
When I came away with was.
The overwhelming sensor, resilience and optimism that there have about
the kind of response to getting him any more talked about. We ass, my wife, asked to say a prayer and
his mom said a prayer,
We said I'm praying for Jake, but I'm pray for the policeman as well. I'm praise the things change.
Springing NBC News correspondent MIKE Mentally, who is on Biden Trip yesterday to canosa and is Co.
The revenue peace this morning entitled Biden and trumpet different visions on vivid display back on
The campaign trail, and I take it MIKE that Blake family didn't want much to do with Trump
couldn't have had a meeting like this
now meagre and really you know I've been covering this campaign since the beginning this weekend.
Thing because it a pandemic resembling a normal general election so far, but this week really did feel like game on. We ve seen the job.
And Donald Trump covering some of the same ground, but with very different-
It is, of course, but, along with
Monica Album and carefully take stock of this week, and you really begin to wonder if these two
Candidates are on not just running different campaigns with different messages, but operating in completely different universes. Really you had President Trump in pit.
Burke the area yesterday talking about the record gains and stop marked to stock market
Joe Biden, was in Pittsburgh on Monday at a former steel mill talking about how many families have had to filed for bankruptcy, you
Joe Biden Wilmington
on Wednesday. Talking about the issue that he his camp
and thinks is first and foremost in voters minds. The pandemic Donald Trump
coming to North Carolina,
reading, the seventy fifth anniversary of world WAR, two not even mentioning the pandemic and then, of course,
most starkly yesterday in connection
The first order of business for Joe Biden was meeting with Jacob Lakes family, where President Trump on his
their there earlier in the week, only met with law enforcement and looked at some of the
the looting and writing. We saw there too. Let's take a look
a snapshot. Look at what we saw player on the campaign trail this week.
Around China
Yeah
Mr President, you may not think is this a national emergency, but I think going
back to school, for millions of children in the impacts on their families in the community is
national emergency, I believe that's what it is.
Directing our students are educators, our communities
getting our schools open safely and effectively this
is a national emerges, Mr Blake was shot
in the back. You believe that there is a need for structural change. Your message,
I think people are calling for a structural change and then you could take the people of Canosa.
That aren't here and that you won't see and that our protesting, but they want change also they want to see law and order. That's a change
what they want alone order, they want the police to be policed well,
think all the been unleashed. A lot of people is
They understand that town fear
since our problems and we hope that your bed countless non violent protest here in Wisconsin and across the country this summer. I people calling for an end to systemic racism. Do you believe systemic risk,
This is a problem in this country, where you know you just keep getting back to the opposite subject. We should talk about
violence that we ve seen in
blend in here and other places
its tremendous violence? Well, I think we're inflection point: Americans.
Honest to God. I believe we have an enormous opportunity now, the Dutch, the screen, the curtains when pull back
I'm just what's going on in the country to do a lot of really positive thing.

If anybody that goes through that, as you know, it's under investigation had an opportunity to spend some time we take upon a phone

But before it respects stand again, my wife he talked about how nothing we're gonna defeated. An average of a thousand people die every day in the month of August. The really feel safer under doll job. Mr tromp wanna talk about fear. You know people are afraid of an american afraid. You're going to get covert
I'm afraid you're going to get sick and die, and that is in no small part because of you, hopefully rounding the journey. The pandemic. We're rounding that turn in life.

Meta under girding. These very different approaches to the campaign are two very different assumptions about what the electorate is. Gonna look like in November. The Trump campaign very clearly thinks the formula that
for him in twenty sixteen rallying his base and depressing the turn out of them.
Product side is going to work again and twenty twenty the binding.
Pain remains convinced that what we saw in twenty eighteen, a combination of fatigue with Trump and also
real motivation to get him out of office that helped Democrats win back. The house is also going to put him in the White House in November maker,
MIKE? Thank you very much and John Le Maire your thoughts on a tale of two campaigns, especially that child of Donald Trump and Pennsylvania. Yesterday wasn't
Super Spreader event. There was a large crowd of people, people very exe,
and to come, see their president
someone masks many not and
seemingly no sense that a dangerous deadly pandemic was you know
full action in this country. At this moment you start making. This is the new formula for the Trump Camp
this river airport hangers, do not quite the size, certainly of his usual mega rallies, wrote what he tried to pull off and also over the summer.
And they are to some degree outdoors, that's good in terms of the virus by a lot of it is it my colleague who is there said very few in the crowd. Actually war mask. Certainly there wasn't a lot of social distancing, so these remain certainly concerns from health standpoint. I think we are seeing it became MIKE's point
two very different visions of a campaign of there's no sense
please not yet the job I that's gonna have similar events yo though he is certainly picking up his pace. It travelled that's going to continue the next week, or so we know that the presidency will it be out more days than not holding event
like that they ve already advice, if you next week in states like Minnesota higher North Carolina, but there are also different views of the electorate. Yes to be sure, but also different styles of governing and just different different. We almost realities right now with the present use his event canosa to speak squarely to law enforcement is for us to align himself with the response there to paint,
the protests as as all being violent, but of course, that there were thousands of violence, they largely have been peacefully peaceful demonstrations. Well, Joe Biden of Course, took a different approach and keep it met with the family. He team sound. He d address the underlying cause of the unrest. The black men who have suffered in some cases died at the hands
of police. Ultra hasn't mentioned any of that. So it's not just two different styles of approach, its two different messages to two different audiences to two different views of how the of the job of the presidency
That's what we're seeing here: the fundamentals, the stark choice. The contrast couldn't be sharper between these two men as we go into the home stretch of this risk.
When and how fascinating. As you look at the split screens of Joe Binds event yesterday and Donald Trump Survey yesterday, again
Joe Biden, wearing a mask because people around Donald.
And most of the crowded, not wearing masks and catty Kay.
Let's take a step beyond that Donald Trump,
actually marked Joe Biden yesterday last night,
for wearing a mask
do you ever see a man that likes a mask?
much as home. It gives him a feeling of security. The president said,
If I was a psychiatrist, learn to speak English tunnel
if I were a psychiatrist
I'd say this: guy has
some big issues, so here,
Donald Trump, who
a marking
oh by that, yet another
Super spreader event
for wearing a mask
of course, Donald from just a month ago, was finally convince to wear a mask and everybody
his staff shamed themselves, by talking about how how
manly and sexy
and whatever else say said about Donald Trump, how increase
Donald Trump looked in a mask he's now back to mocking Americans for,
protecting those around them? I think the lack of this objective,
maybe the least of the problems that we have here, but the present was. It was such a strange events last night because, first of all it broke Pennsylvania,
his own guidelines on how many people can gather in public. So I guess at potentially makes it
go on the Pennsylvania law in terms of how many people were there, then at one point in the speech the president says: I'm all four mosques, a new right. He said in the past a little at the loan. Ranger he's try to kind of make a big thing of it is I'm all four mosque sooner this weekend is Labour Day weekend where a mosque, if
need to. I am all for them and then just minutes
Two there is need set start smoking, Joe Biden and suggesting that,
Some kind of security blanket Joe Biden and wearing a mosque epidemiologists have
this joke right from the beginning of this pandemic, the one of the most important things we need to fight. It is clarity and consistency in messaging in this space
a few minutes in one speech, Donald Trump. Through that,
clarity that consistency out of the window, and that makes the people's job who are trying to fight this pandemic. That much harder of the factory was out yesterday warning people about this weekend
people about this. We can, from the MID west in particular its a holiday weekend, Mama,
build a weekend produced horrible results in this country? They want to make sure labour day doesn't do the same. There is fat shouted saying where the mask
where the mosque, this is, was gonna, get us ready to go into the winter and what does Donald Trump do throw set out
undermines the whole message modest.
Message again and that's gonna, make it very difficult for America to fight the pandemic,
We wanted to joy Reed, I'm so excited to tell you about. My new MSNBC show the retail every week,
I'm talking with the biggest news makers about the most pressing issues of our time, like Joe Biden, the words of president matter
and so is present United States. The first thing I want to do a stand up and talk sense and be honest with the american people level with them at last
mayor casual Lance bottom, we need as many voices as we can have as possible sounding the alarm, encouraging people to wear masks and to take all precautions, antibiotics,
science and the data Senator Kamel Harris. We send folks into a more wearing camouflaged. So what is going on here when you said camouflaged uniformed
officers into a sitting and many more you can listen to the reader as a pod cast by searching for the redoubt. That's our HIV! Oh you t one word were ever your listing right now and subscribing for free thanks for listening
