[Music] he's not a war hero war hero he's a war hero cuz he was captured I like people that weren't captured okay I hate to [Music] tell the ad the Biden campaign released on social media on Veterans Day just ahead we're going to play for you the message former president Trump was given on the same day Joe powerful there's a lot of Trump's words that can be used against him uh you're exactly right ma the the the strongest campaign ads uh or or the ads like the one you just saw that doesn't make
any commentary doesn't try to convince the viewer or the voter of anything it uses the words of the opponent to drive the message home I think this is I think it's a brilliant ad uh I I I I I think we'll see the same thing because the Biden Administration has already the Biden campaign's already started doing it using Donald Trump's own words on abortion yeah against him and you don't have to Jonathan uh I I know you've heard this as well from the administration they're saying we don't we don't
have to even talk about abortion all we have to do is just play One Clip of Donald Trump after another clip of Donald Trump after another clip of Donald Trump saying he was the one that killed roie Wade he was the one that terminated women's Choice he was the one that was responsible for 10-year-old girls having to flee the state after they had been raped he was the one he's taking credit for the horrors of women bleeding out not being able to get treatment from their doctors because of what Don
ald Trump did did I mean it's it's so powerful and and you know the the the line from that Veterans Day ad that really really brings it home is When Donald Trump is asking about a fallen American hero and he says I don't get it what was in it for him that it's just that explains everything doesn't it about Donald Trump all you need to know about Donald Trump how how how how selfish how Craven how how shallow how unamerican let me say it how unamerican he is when it comes to the things he says ab
out our fallen soldiers Sailors Airmen and Marines yeah we also have have reporting about how Trump didn't want veterans who had visible wounds or amputations to be part of military ceremonies in his presence we also know he said something similar to his chief of staff John Kelly Kelly's son was killed in combat overseas and uh the former president said to him well it wasn't worth it was it or something along uh those lines um but back to the abortion issue uh Joe you're certainly right that thi
s is they we're still not sure quite what last week's election means for the 2024 campaign but we do know this abortion is going to be front and center yet again and it's a huge winning issue for Democrats Reverend Sharpton certainly the White House AIDS and campaign officials have been stressing to me in recent days we're going to put this at the Forefront we're going to not let Donald Trump run away from it because we feel like Trump is tried Trump has distanced himself at times from the Supre
me Court decision to overturn row we're not going to let him do that now let's be clear the president himself has admitted he's not super comfortable talking about abortion but the vice president has stepped up and she's become a powerful voice on this no I think vice president Harris has been a tremendous voice in this and when you look at the Ohio vote where where you had a vote earlier this year where they had to campaign and tell people that wanted to preserve uh women's right to choose vote
no and then they tried to shrewdly turn it now where you had to vote Yes in this uh election last uh Tuesday so the people that were trying to preserve uh the women's right to choose had to do a real uh thorough job of telling voters that they had convinced to vote no a few months ago to vote Yes here and they did did it which shows how the public is really really on the side of Reproductive Rights and I think that that is something when you play the uh the the uh the Trump statements about wha
t he has said and what he has done down there that's easy the problem is that his voters many of them are cult followers we played them videos of him talking about grabbing a woman's private and they still voted for so we're not going to flip them we made deal with Independence people that are uncomfortable with other things but Joe I want to go back to something you were saying earlier because it just we we've become so desensitized as a nation on no matter what side of the political Spectrum y
ou're on um January 6th election denying stealing documents some major indictments against this President doesn't seem to turn republicans in Congress or doesn't get the presidential candidates energized on the stage except for one and I just how how is it how is it that these republicans in Congress and some in the Senate and these presidential candidates can stand by and say nothing about a man who would say something like that about our veterans what was in it about our dead our dead soldiers
what was in it for them their losers like how can I just how do we go on with without just asking about that I know sort of like the litness test is was the election stolen there are a million others things like that that Donald Trump has said the cruelty is the point it leads to authoritarianism it leads to what he wants to do to our government and if you don't want to believe that that's fine but let me ask you Republican in that audience or in Congress or on the debate stage Can You Stand By
and support a man who would say that about our veterans I want that question asked why are they given a pass they're not given a pass well they're not asked about it and it just goes by they're always asked um how could you support Donald Trump to be nominee and the answer is they can't give the they can't say the truth the fact is they're craving they're craving for power they're scared of Donald Trump's base and they won't they won't tell the truth they won't speak truth to power and we've se
en it time and again David French had a great opad talking about Mike Johnson other the new speaker saying oh I you know I'm I just I just follow what the Bible says and David said well no actually you you do the opposite of that because you got to Power by lying in fact fact you embrac the big lie that's what you're known the most for in the United States Congress that you let uh Ken Paxton's lawsuit that that was was just a crazy we talked about crazy conspiracy theories but Mike Johnson was s
o craving for power he was so desperate for power that he actually embraced the big lie nothing biblical about that but as David French said did it because he C power so much and and that's again that's that's why he was there but you know Elise Jordan you look I I I really do I think the White House is really on to something because I believe mik is right there's so many things that don't break through but using somebody's words against them that breaks through the Simplicity the Simplicity of
it breaks through all the noise happened there but you look at the issue of abortion I believe it will be Donald Trump's own words that ultimately bring him down when historians look back and say why couldn't anybody stop this guy in the Republican party why did why why did did did he he maintain control of a party for so long and why couldn't they s then they're GNA say well what brought him down I think it's going to be his words you look at what abortion has done what Donald Trump's actions h
ave done for Republicans whether it's judicial candidates in Wisconsin whether it's Senate and House candidates in Virginia uh whether it's a referendum in Ohio whether it's uh you know from Kentucky to Ohio to Wisconsin uh to Kansas all the way over to Virginia this is gutting Republicans in the middle of America and Donald Trump's the guy that's bragging I killed roie Wade I terminated a woman's right to choose I think I think I think the Biden teams on to something I think this is what guts D
onald Trump [Music] politically [Music]

@geraldfer

When he said that...and about John McCain...I lost any respect for him...He CANNOT be allowed to run this country ever again ‼️‼️

@Chris-km8ln

I served in the United States Air Force for 20 years, how any of my fellow Veterans could support Donald Trump is simply mind-boggling, to say the least!

@deborahbrown236

As a Veteran myself I am sick and tired of the draft dodger insulting me and my brothers and sisters. He's a pathetic excuse for a former Criminal in Chief!

@sandragruhle6288

His comments about John Mc Cain still make my blood boil, and I am a Democrat.

@samanthamariefreeman335

BRAVO!! To the producers of that campaign ad. BRILLIANTLY DONE!! Thank YOU!!

@T.Z.M4N

What a disgusting individual.What kind of President talks this way about his own military?They are all heroes.

@canutechiverton7548

Democrats need to play this one a week every week until Election Day, Also, they need to list all the good things that the GOP has blocked in the House and Senate.

@robinsnest7627

I have 3 sons who are Veterans, my husband died a retired Veteran, my stepfather was a Veteran. So it hurts when I hear this. What hurts more are the millions of people who benefit from THEIR sacrifice and yet don’t appreciate their sacrifice.

@ericthered1461

My own brother, a retired 20 year Marine, not only voted for but wants another term with that Demon, my own brother, and it breaks my heart. (IT IS A CULT)

@StacyInLove1

Then there is Tuberville's traitorous actions against our troops.

@LV2UJC-FM

As the wife of a retired Marine who fought in War... I'll never understand how anyone could support and vote for a president who said, "American Fallen Soldiers are Losers and Suckers," my heart was deeply saddened the day I heard those words coming out of Trump's mouth when standing in the cemetery overlooking all the graves of our dear departed Vets. Such a horrible statement to make is enough to turn anyone's stomach inside out, and yet, people support him regardless, which tells me they think the same way.

@delta34golf

The GOP is only pro-Veteran at election time but really don’t do much for veterans once elected.

@EarthRoastCoffee

I will never understand how anyone would ever want him as president.

@commonsenseparty1396

That's a great ad. A Draft Dodger who calls our soldiers' losers can't lead our nation. As a veteran, it's gross that a person like that can become our President.

@jihyotwice3159

Absolutely correct. Don't try to reason and convince MAGA when they don't understand. Just use their own words against them. They will feel defeated and small on their own.

@turnsufficient4971

Veterans and Trump voters have to see these discussions and commercials. Their media sources hide the truth about Trump from them. It's up to us to tell them about this stuff.

@angiealexis3717

I like presidents that aren't low life criminals!

@lmurph5854

How any service member could support the R’s is mind boggling.

@missycitty9478

How any person thinks for a second this man is fit to lead this country, will forever blow my mind. What adult wants their small children, grandchildren, neices, nephews, etc. to be lead by such a monster? They have lost their minds. Or never had one to begin with.

@jamesginder708

I will vote for a President who isn't a loser. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
