MORE.
JOIN JOHN AND ME AS "AMERICA
REPORTS" AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR.
>> Emily: AMERICAN RESTAURANT
OWNER SAYS SHE DOES NOT WITHOUT
SUPPORT FROM BIDEN SUPPORTERS
PER TELLING WOULD BE CUSTOMERS
TO TURN AROUND IF THEY BACK THE
PRESIDENT.
IF YOU VOTED FOR AND CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT AND STAND BEHIND THE
WORTHLESS, INEPT, AND CORRUPT
ADMINISTRATION CURRENTLY
INHABITING THE WHITE HOUSE THAT
IS COMPLICIT IN THE DEATH OF OUR
SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN IN
AFGHANISTAN, PLEASE TAKE YOUR
BUSINESS ELSEWHERE.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND GOD BLESS
OUR SOLDIERS.
MARTHA, SHE MEANS IT.
>> Martha: YES, SHE DOES.
SHE HAS A RIGHT TO DO WHAT SHE
WANTS.
IT’S HER BUSINESS, BUT I WOULD
SAY THIS.
I DID NOT LIKE IT WHEN THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION EMPLOYEES WERE
CHASED OUT OF RESTAURANTS OR
BRAIDED WHILE THEY WERE EATING.
SHE SAYS THAT SHE HAS IMAGES OF
VETERANS ALL OVER HER WALLS AND
A LOT OF VETERANS WHO DIED IN
THERE, SO I WOULD HOPE THAT SOME
OF THOSE SUPPORTERS OF THE
PRESIDENT COME IN THEY MIGHT
LEARN SOMETHING FROM SOME OF THE
VETERAN SITTING NEXT TO THEM.
>> Emily: PETE?
>> Pete: YES, IT IS A FREE
COUNTRY FOR NOW.
SHE IS EXPRESSING SENTIMENT AND
SPEAKING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
MY INBOX IS FULL OF PEOPLE
SAYING WHERE CAN I GIVE MONEY
AND WHERE CAN I GO?
WHAT CAN I DO?
AND THE BALLOT BOX FEEL SO FAR
AWAY AND EVEN THEN THERE ARE A
LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT ELECTION
INTEGRITY FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
SO THERE IS A LOT OF DISMAY AND
THEY DON’T KNOW WHERE TO TURN.
IN A STATEMENT LIKE THAT IS A
GUTTURAL SCREAM THAT I LOVE MY
COUNTRY AND THE TROOPS THAT
DEFEND IT, AND I DON’T RESPECT
THOSE WHO DON’T AND DON’T STAND
BY THAT.
SO CUSTOMERS CAN MAKE A CHOICE,
AND I ACTUALLY THINK THIS COULD
LEAD TO A LOT MORE BUSINESS FOR
HER THEN THOSE THAT TURN AWAY.
>> Emily: THAT’S A GREAT
POINT, KAYLEIGH.
>> Kayleigh: I TOTALLY AGREE,
I THINK WHY THIS STRIKES AT THE
HEART TO MORE THAN ANY OTHER
POLITICAL ISSUE WE HAVE SEEN IN
THE LAST FEW YEARS IS BECAUSE IT
SIMPLY IS NOT THE AMERICAN WAY.
YOU DON’T LEAVE AMERICANS
BEHIND.
YOU DON’T LEAVE AFGHAN ALLIES
BEHIND.
13 SERVICE MEMBERS LOST THEIR
LIVES, THERE IS A LOT OF
EMOTION.
THERE IS A LOT OF ANGER, AND
THAT IS UNDERSTANDABLE.
ESPECIALLY AS WE LEARN THEIR
PRESIDENT BIDEN, THE AFGHAN
PRESIDENT, WHETHER IT IS TRUE OR
NOT, JUST SAYING THE TALIBAN IS
SIMPLY NOT ON THE MOVE.
PARAPHRASING THE LAST PART,
UNDERSTANDABLE OF THE RAGE OF
THIS WOMAN AND MANY OTHERS.
>> Emily: LARA.
>> Lara: YOU KNOW, THAT THIS
IS QUITE A CHANGE, RIGHT?
BECAUSE IN THE TIME THAT WE ARE
LIVING IN, FOR PEOPLE TO STAND
UP AND OPENLY SAY SOMETHING
AGAINST DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT OR
SOMETHING IN FAVOR OF THE
TROOPS, I MEAN, IN THIS COUNTRY
TODAY THAT PUTS YOU AT RISK OF
BEING ARRESTED AND JAILED BY THE
FBI, BECAUSE ANYBODY WHO LEAVES
IN PATRIOTISM AS BEING PURGED
FROM THE U.S. MILITARY, BEING
PURGED FROM DHS AND THE OTHER
AGENCIES, AND PEOPLE ARE
BEING --
THEY ARE SITTING IN PRISON IN
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN A
CORRECTIONAL FACILITY IN
WASHINGTON, D.C., WITHOUT TRIAL.
THEY ARE NOT BEING CONVICTED OF
ANYTHING.
AND THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A
LONG TIME NOW, ALMOST A YEAR.
AND NO ONE WAS SAYING A WORD.
IT SO WE LIVE IN A STATE OF FEAR
AND AMERICA TODAY.
WE DON’T LIVE AS A FREE PEOPLE,
A FREE NATION.
AND THAT’S TO HAVE SOMEBODY SAY
IN THE LAMENT STAND UP AND SAY
THIS.
I’M WITH MARTHA, I WOULD LIKE
EVERYBODY TO BE WELCOMED
EVERYWHERE.
BUT WHAT IT SAYS IS THAT PEOPLE
NOW ARE SAYING WE ARE NOT GOING
TO LIVE IN FEAR.
AND I THINK THAT IT SPEAKS TO
THE FACT THAT THIS ISN’T REALLY
A DEMOCRAT-REPUBLICAN ISSUE.
THIS IS THE HILL IN WHICH ALL
AMERICANS REALLY CAN FIGHT AND
DIE.
BECAUSE IT DOES DEFINE AMERICA.
AND IF AMERICAN PEOPLE ALLOW THE
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND THEIR
LEADERS TO MISREPRESENT THEM IN
THIS WAY BECAUSE THE VAST
MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DO NOT
BELIEVE IN BETRAYING YOUR
ALLIES, THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN
GETTING YOUR OWN SOLDIERS AND
MARINES KILLED FOR NO REASON,
THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN THAT, AND
THEY HAVE TO STAND UP AND LET
THEIR VOICES BE HEARD AND BE
