INTERVIEW. NANCY, I HOPE YOU GET A CHANCE TO ENJOY SAVANNAH. THANK YOU. >>> NOW TO THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS ABOUT THE ALLEGED ALTERCATION BETWEEN MEMBERS OF THE CAMPAIGN AND CEMETERY STAFF. SO, YOU COVER THE PENTAGON SO CLOSELY, THEY HELPED OVERSEE ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY A SACRED SPOT IN THIS COUNTRY. WHAT ARE THE FACTS THAT WE KNOW AT THIS POINT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED? I WAS AT THE CEMETERY, KEEPING AN EYE ON THE CEREMONY. I DID NOT SEE WHERE THIS ALTERCATION OCCURRED. WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN SECTION 60? IT IS A SPOT THAT HAS A LOT OF SENSITIVITY, SERVICE MEMBERS WHO WERE KILLED WERE BURIED THERE. >> THE CEMETERY HAS FILED AN INCIDENT REPORT. MEMBERS OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN STAFF WERE AGGRESSIVE BOTH PHYSICALLY AND VERBALLY TOWARD A CEMETERY STAFFER, WHO IS TRYING TO ENDORSE RULES THAT PROHIBIT CAMPAIGNS FROM FILMING AT GRAVE SITES ACROSS THE CEMETERY, ESPECIALLY ETHICS AND 60, AS YOU NOTED, AN EMOTIONAL SPOT IN THE CEMETERY FOR SO MANY, IT IS WHERE MANY YOUNG VETERANS ARE BURIED. THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN DENIES ANY INCIDENT OCCURRED, SAYING THE CAMPAIGN HAD EXPLICIT PERMISSION TO BE IN SUCH 60, FEDERAL LAW DICTATES THOSE GUIDELINES, AND CEMETERY STAFF IS VERY STRICT IN ENFORCING THEM, SO THE BURIAL SITES OF VETERANS WHO HAVE SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES UNDER ADMINISTRATIONS, REGARDLESS OF PARTY, ARE NOT USED AS POLITICAL PROPS. HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS. YOU HAVE A FORMER COMMANDER KYIV, PRESIDENT WHO IS ALSO THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, A MILITARY OFFICIAL, IN EFFECT, AS A FORMER PRESIDENT. ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT, HOW IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS ADJUDICATED IN THE GOVERNMENT, IN THE PENTAGON, IF AT ALL? TO THE INCIDENT REPORT HAS BEEN FILED. THE CEMETERY WILL NOT RELEASE ANY INFORMATION. THEY WANT TO PROTECT THE IDENTITY OF THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED. YOU CAN BE ASSURED, MANY ORGANIZATIONS ARE GOING TO REQUEST THAT REPORT FROM THE PENTAGON, FROM LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS, THROUGH THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.>> COLLEAGUES OF OURS ARE BUSY COVERING THE POLITICAL SCENE. JD VANCE HAS WEIGHED IN, LET'S TAKE A LISTEN. I THINK, FIRST OF ALL, THE ALTERCATION AT ARLINGTON CEMETERY IS THE MEDIA CREATING A STORY WHERE I REALLY DON'T THINK THERE IS ONE. THERE IS VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE THAT THE CAMPAIGN WAS ALLOWED TO HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHER, THEY WERE INVITED TO HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHER, THERE IS VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE THAT THE FAMILIES OF THESE FOUR PEOPLE WHO HAD THEIR LOVED ONES DIED THREE YEARS AGO AT ABBEY ROAD, THOSE 13 AMERICANS, A LOT OF THEM WERE WITH THE PRESIDENT, THEY INVITED HIM TO BE THERE. AND YOU HELP US GET SOME CONTEXT? WHAT EXACTLY IS AT THE AIRPORT IN AFGHANISTAN IN 2021?>> MONDAY DID MARK THREE YEARS AS A SUICIDE BOMBING AT THE AIRPORT WHICH KILLED 13 U.S. SERVICE DURING THE FINAL DAYS OF THE WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WAS AT ARLINGTON WITH SOME OF THE GOLD STAR FAMILIES, AND SOME OF THE MARINES WHO SURVIVE THAT BOMBING IN 2021. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS REALLY SEIZED ON THAT CHAOTIC WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN AS EXHIBIT ONE OF THE WEAKNESSES OF THE BIDEN/HARRIS POLICY. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS PUSHED BACK, SAYING THE WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN WAS INEVITABLE WHEN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CUT A DEAL WITH THE TALIBAN. IT'S WORTH REMEMBERING, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS A TRACK RECORD OF MAKING DEMEANING COMMENTS ABOUT MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS, INCLUDING THOSE CAPTURED AND KILLED SUCKERS AND LOSERS, SO HIS APPEARANCE AT ARLINGTON ON MONDAY COULD HAVE BEEN CONTROVERSIAL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EVEN IF WE WERE
