Hour 1 -
Good Thursday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:
- Families of American servicemembers who were killed during the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan revealed that they had given approval for photos and videos to be taken at Arlington Cemetery on Monday.
- The statement from the family members comes after NPR claimed that Trump campaign staff had gotten into a “verbal and physical altercation” with a cemetery official who had attempted to prevent them from taking videos and photos.
- CNN’s Scott Jennings pushed back against the outlet’s host Wednesday after the host asked if the Trump campaign should have “gotten approval from the cemetery” if they hadn’t already.
- U.S. Army veteran Lucas O’Hara undercut claims that Trump had used the ceremony to promote his 2024 presidential campaign.
- J.D. Vance called out VP Harris amid attacks on Trump after he attended a ceremony honoring 13 fallen American servicemembers.
