[Music] Jim thank you so much uh for joining us tell us why uh you called Trump's visit to Arlington a violation thank you for having me sir well as you well know sir Arlington Cemetery is sacred to all people who have uh all people who are members of the military all people who have served in the uniform it's a sacred area there's three generations of mccains that are buried there it's violation because these rules are set in place the people who are buried there don't have an opinion we're the point of Arlington Cemetery is to go and show respect for the men and women who have given their lives to this country when you make it political you take away the respect of the people who are there so you're recently back from a 7-month deployment to Tower 22 in Jordan that's near the border with Syria um three US soldiers were killed there just this past January um this idea of a Sacred Space and in families uh it's not just theoretical for you yes sir I mean I was not personally at Tower 22 when that attack happened but after being directly on the ground right after uh I understand the pain that we saw there the young men and women who are serving there and what they went through once again it's it's a solemn thing you know these these young people are taking time out of their lives when they could be bettering themselves you know college things like that and they're joining the military because they feel it's the right thing and the least we can do is when they're gone if they you know when they're in Arlington is to respect the rules and regulations that are in place like not politicizing the fact that these men and women are there go show respect under I understand that he was invited show respect and leave it doesn't need to be videoed if Donald Trump apologized for it and called it a mistake would he earn any points back with you um again I recognize it's not the exact same thing but I'm just wondering uh cuz this really seems to have bothered you that he that Mr Trump did this yeah I mean the first thing about uh you know John McCain you don't spend that long in politics without missing up once or twice so and the main point is that he pulled it down and he understood the solemn you know sanctu like Sanctified native nature of that of that uh of Arlington National Cemetery so if Donald Trump pulled it down and apologized I mean it would be the right thing to do but look at his history towards towards veterans look at at this point you know I don't know what else uh he has to do you know answer is no
