1
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

2
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on

3
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: these people.

4
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: You've not got a free shot. All these networks lying

5
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: about the people, the people have had a belly full

6
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I

7
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: know you trying to do everything in the world to

8
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 1: stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's

9
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: going to happen.

10
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 3: And where do people like that go to share the

11
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: big line media? I wish in my soul, I wish

12
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: that any of these people had a conscience.

13
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

14
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: If that answer is to save my country, this country

15
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: will be saved.

16
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: War Room.

17
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: He's your host, Stephen k.

18
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: Ba Friday, thirty one October year over twenty twenty five.

19
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: That was well, let's bring in Cleopascal. By the way,

20
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about this very special event that's

21
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: happening right now, and to give the audience a heads

22
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: up to President United States is going to be leaving

23
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 2: departing the White House momentarily. Can we get that beautiful shot?

24
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: Do we have that establishing shot of the White House?

25
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: The leaves are starting to change here in Washington, d C.

26
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: And the White House looks absolutely spectacular. President Trump had

27
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: the trick or treat, and now I realize I had

28
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 2: it yesterday because he is leaving this afternoon. In fact,

29
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: he's leaving momentarily. We'll cover that and also we will

30
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: cover the I'm sure he's going to have a few

31
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: minutes to share with the media. Let's go to I

32
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: want to start, Cleo, why don't you said that you

33
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: brought this to my attention. I'm glad you did. Why

34
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: don't you talk to us about what is this all about?

35
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: What did we just see?

36
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 5: So there are still many many Americans left to be

37
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 5: brought home who fought in battles around the world, and

38
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 5: there are some people, including the people who are with

39
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 5: History Flight, who are trying to find them. History Flight

40
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 5: is a private charity. They've been doing this on the

41
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 5: ground forever. They first came to my attention because I've

42
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 5: been looking at what the Chinese are doing in places

43
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 5: like Tarowa, and History Flight is on the ground in

44
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 5: Taroa and trying to find those men and bring them home.

45
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: And when they do, they get sorry. I'm a little

46
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 5: bit touched by what we just saw. They get full honors,

47
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 5: they get brought home, they get reunited with their families

48
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 5: if they can find them, which is why it's very

49
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 5: important if you have missing family members to let the

50
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 5: Department of Defense know so that or History Flights or

51
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 5: something like them, so that they can do the DNA

52
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 5: matches because there are also bodies that are waiting to

53
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 5: be identified. History Flight was founded by Mark Noah, who'se

54
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 5: aviation fanatic enthusiast and so had the capability to do

55
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 5: the transport and get around and know what was going on.

56
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 5: And also a Sergeant Major Justin Lehu who is the

57
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 5: hero of Nazarea, Navy Cross Winner, an unbelievable retired marine

58
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 5: who at this very moment is walking from ground zero

59
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 5: from the Memorial side of the Twin Towers in New

60
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 5: York to Wanco. He's walking two hundred and fifty miles

61
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 5: to arrive at Quantico on the two hundred and fiftieth

62
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 5: anniversary the founding of the Marine Corps because next year

63
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 5: they want to bring two hundred and fifty more men home.

64
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 5: So that's one of the History Flight events that you saw,

65
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 5: and that's what's going on right now.

66
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: You'll see him walking through.

67
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 5: I hope he's escaped New Jersey now, but he'll be

68
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 5: by the side of the road. He's with another marine.

69
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 5: He gets joined along the way, and he's done other walks.

70
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: The map that you have up now is the one

71
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 5: that they did across the entire country. It's called the

72
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 5: Long Road, and you can go to historyflight dot com

104
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 6: down the road through Wilmington, Delaware, down through Baltimore, Fort McHenry,

105
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 6: down through Washington, d C. The Marine Barracks the War Memorial,

00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 6: service of their nation, and then ending up at a

110
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 6: cake cutting ceremony on ten November at the beautiful and

111
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 6: historic National Museum of the Marine Corps. And a few

112
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 6: years ago, see, I walked into a post office in

113
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 6: twenty twenty two. We were coming out of the pandemic

114
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 6: shutdown that really killed a lot of international operations and

115
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 6: recoveries of our service members abroad, and it was I

116
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 6: found out that that black.

117
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 7: Pow Mia flag that flies.

118
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 6: Over every federal installation, every post office, and is the

119
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 6: only flag that is authorized to fly underneath the American

120
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 6: colors in all fifty states and territories. Now, if you're

121
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 6: from Iowa, you can fly the Iowa flag underneath the

122
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 6: US colors. You're from Ohio, the Ohio flag. But there's

123
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 6: only one other flag all the way externation that's authorized

124
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 6: a fly in all of those states and territories, and

125
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 6: that's the black and white pow Mia flag. And I

126
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 6: found that people were really forgetting why that was created

127
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 6: in what that was. And I walked into a post

128
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 6: office to mail a package in spring of twenty twenty two.

129
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 6: I talked to a very nice young lady and had

130
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 6: a tattered pow Mia flag. I asked if I could

131
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 6: replace that for them. They said that they have that

132
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 6: on order.

133
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 7: And when I when I kind.

134
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 6: Of walked out, effort fame in the package and I

135
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 6: offered to put one up for them again. She just

136
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 6: stopped me and she said, can I ask you why

137
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 6: that matters so much? I've worked here a long time

138
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 6: and a lot of people asked to replace the American flag,

139
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 6: but no one has ever asked to replace that flag,

140
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 6: and you're the first one. And after about five minutes

141
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 6: of talking to her, that woman was in tears and

142
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 6: she said, I will get right on that, sir. And

143
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 6: when I walked past that post office a file morning, that.

144
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 7: Flag was up.

145
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 6: And I figured, you know, if I can have a

146
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 6: five minute conversation and do that with one person, you know,

147
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 6: maybe I could walk across the nation or do a

148
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 6: few other things and go where the rubber meets the

149
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 6: road and talk to individuals and get out there in

150
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 6: the hometowns of America and remind people of what that

151
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 6: flag means and that service and sacrifice. So it's an

152
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 6: incredible honor right now walking two hundred and fifty miles.

153
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 6: We were in a rainstorm yesterday about fifteen mile per

154
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 6: hour wind gusts. A lot of people saying, hey, you

155
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 6: knew that weather was coming, why didn't you just take

156
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 6: the day off yesterday? And it was like, you know what,

157
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 6: since seventeen seventy five, our nation to Marines have hiked

158
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 6: in a lot worse weather than that, And it was

159
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 6: an honor and a privilege to be able to walk

160
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 6: into the beautiful city of Philadelphia yesterday under those conditions

161
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 6: presenting two hundred and fifty years of the United States

162
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 6: Marine Corps. So that's a little bit of the tidbit

163
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 6: of why we're doing what we do, a little bit

164
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 6: of motivation behind that. See and again thanks for having

165
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 6: me on the program today.

166
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: Sergeant Major.

167
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: We had the after seventeen years, we had the first

168
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: premiere of the of the Last six h Meters, a

169
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: film that Michael Pack wrote and directed, I produced with

170
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: his wife, and for seventeen years has been suppressed by

171
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: the PBS who paid for it, and so we screened

172
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: it for an audience of Marines last night who were

173
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: actually in the film, and it's the battle of First Illujah,

174
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: Na Joff and Second Fallujah.

175
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: We got a couple of minutes here I'm hold you

176
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: through the break.

177
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: But one of the young Marines, who's not young now

178
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: it's you know, the film was really made twenty years ago,

179
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: said that the thing that got him I about the

180
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: marine Corny first showed up is the sense of history

181
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: that they instill in you every day. Give me a

182
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: minute or so about that before we go to break, sir, Well.

183
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 6: Steve, this is it's coincidence that you said that, because

184
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 6: I was a first sergeant in Charlotte Company, first Attalian, fourth.

185
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 7: Marines, and I fought in that four and a.

186
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 6: Half square mile cemetery on August fifth to August twenty

187
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 6: eighth of two thousand and four, one of the finest

188
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 6: fighting units that I think America has ever put on

189
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 6: the field of battle. I mean everywhere that you look,

190
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,479
Speaker 6: nobody teaches you how to fight inside of a cemetery.

191
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 6: Everywhere you look, one hundred and twenty five degrees on

192
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 6: the ground, forty pounds of kids on these marines. I

193
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 6: had one hundred and sixty two of the greatest warriors

194
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 6: that anybody has ever put on the battlefield, I think

195
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 6: in the history of the world. And we pushed into

196
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 6: that cemetery and fought for those twenty five days to

197
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 6: secure elections, to secure a very hostile city, and basically

198
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 6: be the first ones fighting the house to house, street

199
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 6: to street that just a couple of months later, units

200
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 6: like third Battalion, First Marines and all of that, we're

201
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 6: going to push into the city of Fallujah, and Najas

202
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 6: said the presidents for that. US Marines have been fighting

203
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 6: hand to hand and house to house, in street to

204
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 6: street like that since seventeen seventy five. And because we

205
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 6: have people like that seed, we're going to be fighting

206
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 6: like that, because we're Americans, we were born in war.

207
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 6: We're going to fight like that for the next two

208
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty years for our survival. And God blessed

209
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 6: we have an organization like the Marine Corps that's going

210
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 6: to do more than their share for that.

211
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: Sergeant Major Hangar for one second Sergeant Major Justin le

212
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,800

00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,240

230
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: of Nazaria? But let me go back for a second

231
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: to talk about na Joff. I want to make sure

232
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: as we roll up to the two hundred and fiftieth

233
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: commemoration of the birth of the United States Marine Corps, now,

234
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: more than ever, as we're trying to unwind ourselves and

235
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: remember where the Anti get involved in the Ukraine show

236
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: is also the Middle East. We got to watch all

237
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: these things now in Venezuela. When we commit American troops.

238
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: We have to commit American troops to win. We have

239
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: to unleash them. You only commit it if you're in it,

240
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: if you're in this to win it. And last night

241
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: it was very painful to sit through First Fallujah, najav

242
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: and Second Fallujah. The climax of every scene is the

243
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: Marines fight through with army assistants. The Marines fight through,

244
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: they reached their objective. At the very moment when they

245
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: reach their objective, which is victory, they are shut down

246
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: by the US government in First Fallujah, in Najaf, in

247
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: Second Fallujah, and really the Najaf's the worst. Sergeant Major,

248
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: I think it took you thirty days. The cemetery is unbelievable.

249
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: It's i don't know, three four times the size of

250
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: the one in New Orleans, all above ground. It was

251
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen to one hundred and twenty five degrees.

252
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: You guys fought really tomb by tomb, and then you

253
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: got into the city. You get into the old city.

254
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: You fought block by block to get to the mosque.

255
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: What was that like, sir?

256
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 6: You know nothing. As we said in the earlier sagment,

257
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 6: nothing really prepares you for looking out into a cemetery

258
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 6: and in the direction of north, southeast, and west and

259
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 6: as far as the eye can see to the horizon,

260
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 6: there's nothing but above ground tombs, crypts, and on August fifth,

261
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 6: when you're getting an order at one hundred and thirty

262
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 6: degrees of heat that day, roughly about four pm in

263
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 6: the afternoon, that says, you know what, We're going to

264
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 6: take it to the enemy now. Because these were exclusionary

265
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 6: zones before. When we first took over the Jacques from

266
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 6: the US Army, we were briefed that there were certain

267
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 6: areas like Koopa and the cemetery that were off limits.

268
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 6: They were red zones, exclusionary zones. You could not go

269
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 6: in there. In the Marines instantly knew, well, that's where

270
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 6: they're at. So when we took over and a police

271
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 6: station was attacked and a helicopter was hit on August fifth,

272
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 6: it was we're going to pivot to those areas, and

273
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 6: we're going to start putting vns on weapons, and we're

274
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 6: going to rap tune to tomb, in street to street,

275
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 6: and we're going to clear four and five and six

276
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 6: hundred meters of this from stone to stone above and

277
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 6: both below grounds. There is no amount of training or

278
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 6: sitting in a school arena that ever has prepared Marines

279
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 6: to fight in a cemetery that is thousands of years

280
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 6: old and is about five square miles. People cannot even

281
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 6: encapsulate that inside of their heads. And when you have

282
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 6: the best people, the most tested people, the best grown

283
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 6: military in the United States Marine Corps putting in you know,

284
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 6: we don't leave our dead and moved it on the battlefield.

285
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 6: We only go forward, we don't go backwards. Once you

286
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 6: unleash that on the enemy, if you let that continue

287
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 6: to go, they are going to rout out every position.

288
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 6: They're going to route out every insurgent, they are going

289
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 6: to secure every block, and they are going to hold

290
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 6: every position in every line in any place that you

291
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 6: send them around the world. That is a confidence level

292
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 6: that we had in first Italian forth Marines when we

293
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 6: were in the cemetery fight in the Jacques Steve. That

294
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 6: was a competence level I had when I rolled into

295
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 6: the invasion of Iraq in two thousand and three on

296
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 6: March twenty third in nazarea. And that was a confidence

297
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 6: level that I had in nineteen ninety one and you

298
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 6: name it.

299
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 7: That was endued in me as a young marine that

300
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 7: we fight and we win, We win.

301
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 6: Our nation's ballots and.

302
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 7: We are in a nation that we have the.

303
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 6: Most potful military on the face of human existence to

304
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 6: do that. And we have a military, unlike a lot

305
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 6: of other countries, that is not controlled in a martial society.

306
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 7: And I do believe that.

307
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 6: The United States that you know, rules of engagement come

308
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 6: up all the time. I believe more than probably any

309
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 6: country that's been out there, the United States has adhere

310
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 6: to more of you hear of atrocities and a few other.

311
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 7: Things, but not at a scale when you deal with.

312
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 6: US troops, the United States troops, when they're unleashed onto

313
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 6: an objective, Steve, we call it controlled chaos. We know

314
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 6: exactly what we're doing. We know the mission that's hand,

315
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 6: we know the target set that we need to employ,

316
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 6: and we know the objective before we even start onto

317
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 6: the issue.

318
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 7: So being an implementation of.

319
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 6: Background of policy on the ground gives you, you know, north,

320
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 6: southeast and west and the manage you're left in your right.

321
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 6: It gives you the utmost cofidence that there is no

322
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 6: nation on the world is ever going to take a

323
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 6: piece of ground away from a US marine.

324
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: Talk to me about So.

325
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: The best review the film ever got was fifteen years

326
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: ago when Mikel and I were taking it around and

327
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 2: showing some Marine Corps groups and Michael lined up a

328
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: group in I think it was in northern California, and

329
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: it was alumni of World War Two, the greatest generation.

330
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 2: It was the Force Recon Marines of Pelulu and Tarawa,

331
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: which I would argue the best of the best. They

332
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: watched this film of you guys in Fallujah, in Najaf

333
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 2: and in Second Fallujah, going tomb to tomb, going door

334
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: to door, kicking down doors. You know, what is it?

335
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: A million rooms in Fallujah when they when the finally

336
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 2: of the Marines went through there for the second battle,

337
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: and at the end of it, one of the Marines

338
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 2: and had it be in his eighties or nineties at

339
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: that time, said I can't believe the valor encourage of

340
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: these young guys. And of course Michael goes, well, hang on,

341
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 2: what are you talking about. You're your force recon of

342
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: two of the most historic amphibious landings in not just

343
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: Marine Corps history, but human history. And the guy said, hey, look,

344
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: we were seventeen or eighteen years old.

345
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: We were trained.

346
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: Just you hit the beach, you clear cut everything in

347
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: front of you. You know, you don't ask a question.

348
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: You just go, and you do not back up an inch.

349
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 2: You just go. He says, here going door to door

350
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: and all the pressure and tension of the little children

351
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: and women run around.

352
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: He says, you know, that's a very different war. He said,

353
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: that would be one hundred times harder.

354
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: And I'm sitting there going Wow, Terrible and Pellu, the

355
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: best of the best, the hardest of the hard sitting

356
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: there and talking about what the marines is. One of

357
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: the reasons I've you know, worked so hard with Michael

358
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: to make sure this picture gets out there, because you see,

359
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: and this is this is nothing but grit for an

360
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 2: hour and a half. And the reason is it's how

361
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: marines live their life day to day in combat the

362
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: whole film ninety minutes and combat the entire time. There's

363
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: no strategy, there's no big picture, there's nothing about the

364
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 2: politics of the war. It's just marines what they do

365
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: every day. But this is why I'm so intrigued by

366
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: your walk. People don't realize at Terrible and Pelelu and

367
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: all these places in the Pacific, which is so important

368
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: to the United States today geopolitically, this is so important.

369
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: There are men who have not been brought home. Can

370
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: you tell us about that for a second, because I

371
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: think the audience is going to be shocked that we

372
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: actually have and it's not a government effort, it's kind

373
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: of a private charity effort to do this. Can you

374
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: walk us through what exactly is happening with Tarawa and pelelu.

375
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 6: Absolutely see, most people don't know the cure about island

376
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 6: change when you're talking about island chains in the Pacific,

377
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 6: and you're always hearing about the First Island Chain, and

378
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 6: you're always hearing about strategic impacts out there in the

379
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 6: First island chain or others.

380
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 7: What most people don't.

381
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 6: Look or away off is when you have an overabundance

382
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 6: of concentration, say the Santaku Islands or these contested areas

383
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 6: between the Slots and the Philippines, and that what has

384
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 6: happened is on twenty November in nineteen forty three, eighteen

385
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 6: thousand Marines took on four thy six hundred Japanese rucas

386
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 6: Sentai Japanese Marines or Special Naval Landing Battalion individuals. Admiral

387
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 6: Shibasaki kim Ji Chibasaki said it would take a million

388
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 6: men under years to take the island a Tarawa. It

389
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 6: took the US Marine Corps seventy six hours, and up

390
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 6: on those seventy six hours in that brutal, hellish condition

391
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 6: where basically there are almost one of the living thing

392
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 6: across that eight hundred meters wide a mile and a

393
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 6: half long spit. Once the Marines secured that island, that

394
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 6: was the test case for Admiral Nemesis island hopping campaign.

395
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 6: I mean Glaudal Canal was right before that, you know,

396
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 6: the make an island rate. Every one of these pieces

397
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 6: were heston how much farther we can go, what kind

398
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 6: of equipment we're gonna need, push push. Tarawa was the

399
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 6: first full scale amphibious invasion that put people on a

400
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 6: bayonet point and just rooted them out.

401
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 7: There was only.

402
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 6: Seventeen Japanese survivors on that island, and one of them

403
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 6: said that we thought we had the Marines dead. The

404
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 6: rights out seven hundred meters into the water as a

405
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 6: reef that circles the island of Tarawa. Theyfio and he said,

406
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 6: we thought we had them. We saw their landing boats

407
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 6: stop right there. We saw the Marines start to spill

408
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 6: out over the sides, and they started to have to

409
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 6: wave to shore seven hundred meters in. The Japanese were

410
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 6: just slaying them in the water before they could get

411
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 6: and then he said, my trips were in Bolden. We

412
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 6: were going to win.

413
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 7: And then he said we saw then.

414
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 6: These landing craft crawl up over the reef with marines

415
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 6: inside like spiders.

416
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 7: And then are crawling more and.

417
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 6: More towards us, and they just would not stop. And

418
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 6: he looked at his troops and he said, the gods

419
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 6: of death have come. This has secured our fate. We're

420
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 6: all going to die here. That was the test to

421
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 6: take those amphibious landing craft and those assault forces.

422
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 7: Of marines that we're going to then move into.

423
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 6: Saipan, into Kenyan, into Quadline, and just pushed all the

424
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 6: way up into Japan. By the end of that battle,

425
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 6: there was there has been on twenty six individuals, they.

426
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 7: Were told, and there were over.

427
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 6: Five hundred and forty one of them that were.

428
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 7: Left on that island.

429
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 6: Most people see, most people didn't.

430
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 2: Sergeant Major hanging one second, We're going to sut commercial

431
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: break Claire Pascal. Sergeant Major Justin who on a Friday

432
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 2: in the war room awaiting the President to leave for

433
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: Palm Beach.

434
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 4: Momentarily, Hu's your host, Stephen Ka.

435
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if we could have a more signal

436
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: not noise start towards show. And yes, we got a

437
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: lot of politics that cover a lot of economics like

438
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: capital markets, but you have to separate out the most

439
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: important thing, and one is that we don't leave our

440
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: dead on a battlefield.

441
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: This thing correct me if I'm wrong, Sergeant Major.

442
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: I think it was history flight in a couple of

443
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: years ago. Didn't they say it was a terrible I'm

444
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 2: pretty sure not Pelolu that they found some of these bodies.

445
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 2: It was underneath the tarmac of the runway they had

446
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: built there, that somehow they've been under there. But the

447
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: three hundred bodies, there's three hundred bodies of Marines who

448
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 2: died in combat that are scattered around terror was somewhere correct,

449
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: either under this tarmac or in other places, just buried

450
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: in the same or just where they fell.

451
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's correct. In what's even more important than that

452
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 6: was I think when people see they think of American

453
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 6: cemeteries or burials, they envision Arlington National Cemetery or Omaha

454
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 6: Beach for something of these really brilliant beautiful headstones and

455
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 6: crosses laid out in these fabulous rows. Well, the problem

456
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 6: is out on Tara, but that's not the case. So

457
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 6: on that small little island with eight hundred meters wide

458
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 6: in about a mile and a half long, there were

459
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 6: five hundred and forty one US marines that were left

460
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 6: on that island at the end of the war. And

461
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 6: in nineteen forty six, the American Grace Registration was given

462
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 6: a tremendous task, and that pass.

463
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 7: Was go all over the world in a year.

464
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 6: And try to locate and return any of America's fallen

465
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 6: and missing, an action most people don't understand. In nineteen

466
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 6: forty five, we were celebrating in Times Square and everything,

467
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 6: but where Gankkruft as a country after fighting since nineteen

468
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 6: forty one, And they're given this amal fast. So they

469
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 6: go out. In some cases they're told, hey, Graham, just

470
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 6: get the skulls because it has dental records. Just get

471
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 6: the femur if you can, and move on down the line.

472
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 6: Just something to try to get an identification of an individual.

473
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 6: And so in nineteen forty six they returned, they consolidate

474
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 6: all those records, and then the American government sends out

475
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 6: another way of telegrams. Now understand, we're getting ready to

476
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 6: go into the holiday season here in America, but specifically

477
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 6: the Battle of Tara one of the one bonesand Marines

478
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 6: that were killed.

479
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 7: In sailors on that island. Most of the.

480
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 6: American families received a telegram that their son was killed

481
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 6: on that island, over a thousand of them on December

482
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 6: twenty third and December twenty fourth of nineteen forty three.

483
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 6: So Christmas decorations are in the windows, Christmas trees are out.

484
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 6: Knock on the door. Western Union telegram, Merry Christmas, your

485
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 6: son was just killed on Tarrow nineteen forty six, they

486
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 6: get another telegram, not only was your son killed on Tarla,

487
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 6: we looked for him and he's still unaccounted for. And

488
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 6: then in nineteen forty nine must have been the most

489
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 6: heartbreaking telegram said, not only was your son killed, not

490
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 6: only is he missing, but we're no longer looking for him.

491
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 6: And I found that to be abhorn because those individuals

492
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 6: are not buried underneath these beautiful cemeteries like you and

493
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 6: I knew. They're buried underneath pig Styes, they're buried underneath

494
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 6: public urinals with no marking whatsoever of their heroism, valor

495
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 6: and sacrifice. They are out there right now because the

496
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 6: CCP has moved in to a lot of these islands

497
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 6: unobstructed it seems, and they are doing construction projects, and

498
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 6: now there's a Chinese.

499
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 7: Bacco or anything else out there.

500
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 6: On tara was just digging up the ground and scooping

501
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 6: up American boys and probably for the most part, just

502
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 6: dumping them out in the ocean somewhere, very unceremonially while

503
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 6: they're building the next parking lot. And that is absolutely

504
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 6: abhorrent to me, see, because that's not just one island,

505
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 6: It's like that all through the South Pacific and in

506
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 6: other places around the world.

507
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: So the purpose I want to make sure that people

508
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: are focused on. The purpose of your walk is obviously

509
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 2: the commemorate the history and tradition of the Marine Corps,

510
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: but very specifically, you are working with history flights to

511
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 2: identify where the actual bodies are on places like Tarawa.

512
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: And other places, to.

513
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 2: Get people over there to start looking for them so

514
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: that we can collect them bring them home.

515
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 7: Absolutely.

516
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 6: See. Since I retired from thirty one years in the

517
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 6: US Marine Corps, I was the Sergeant major at Training

518
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 6: and Education Command with a great commanding general named Major

519
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 6: General James Lugman, and we held a honorary Marine ceremony.

520
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 7: In that honorary marine ceremony, there.

521
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 6: Was less than a hundred of those in history. I mean, Chuck.

522
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 7: Norris is one.

523
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 6: There's some children with cancer. It's a hard bar to make.

524
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 6: And Mark Noah was being honored that year for his

525
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 6: efforts on trying to do this and that is where

526
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 6: Mark and I linked up. So about three years later

527
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 6: when I called it quits, is a career. Mark and

528
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 6: I circle back around again. He asked me after a

529
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 6: short interview. I laid out battle histories and everything else,

530
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 6: and he said, I'd love for you to come over

531
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 6: here and run this organization. I signed on there with

532
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 6: him is a great partner as a chief operation officer

533
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 6: and now the chief executive officer. And we have searched

534
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 6: with offices in the Philippines, Kabama, Kwuan Palawan, operations going

535
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 6: on there, the island of Tarawa that's still being contested

536
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 6: by the Chinese, which we've had work Bass frozen out

537
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 6: to go back in to get those individuals. Steve for

538
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 6: going on five years now, and the pace is not moving.

539
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 6: Even contact through the US State Department doesn't seem to

540
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 6: move the needle. And a lot of other people that

541
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 6: kind of say, well, yeah, we're kind of working on that.

542
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 6: Well I don't know how much. Yeah, we're kind of

543
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 6: working on that is actually happening.

544
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: No, No, we can't tolerantent. Let me President Trump. When

545
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: we first took office in seventeen, he put an executive

546
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: order out about the Vietnam and the MIAs and the

547
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: pow is still there that had what was it, correct

548
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: me give me the details. Fifty six boxes were sent back,

549
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 2: I believe immediately. What was the outcome of that?

550
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 7: That was in Korea.

551
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 6: So, of course there's no operations going on in North Korea,

552
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 6: and that's where a predominant amount of American troops were

553
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 6: either incarcerated, died in prison in Chinese prison camps, or

554
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 6: were killed outright in North Korea. So in Korea there's

555
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 6: roughly still about seventy four hundred missing, probably about fifty

556
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 6: three hundred of those are in North Korea. And in

557
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 6: twenty seventeen, President Trump and negotiated with North Korea to

558
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 6: returned fifty five boxes of remains. Now in those boxes

559
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 6: of remains. Those should not be equated to an individual.

560
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 6: Those were not just fifty five individuals. There were com

561
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 6: mingled sets of remains inside each of those boxes, and

562
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 6: when those were turned over to the Defense.

563
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 7: Cow MIA Agency.

564
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 6: And their great labs out there in Hawaii, they started

565
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 6: to call through all of the bones and start to

566
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 6: run down families, do DNA, try to get some material

567
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 6: evidence whatever they could, And of those fifty five boxes

568
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 6: and remains, there were along two hundred and fifty individuals.

569
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 7: When that was all laid out and all tested that.

570
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 6: Have been positively identified from those fifty five boxes of

571
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 6: unilateral turnover of remains. And I really thought at that point, Wow,

572
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 6: we get it. We're on a trajectory. If we can

573
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 6: do that and do that with North Korea, you know,

574
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 6: we should be able to do that with just about

575
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 6: anybody on this great humanitarian mission around the world. But

576
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 6: in a lot of ways, since twenty seventeen, access to

577
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 6: a lot of those areas, not just in North Korea,

578
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 6: but these other contested areas we're talking about, really hasn't

579
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 6: opened up the door for this great humanitarian thing we

580
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 6: have going on, and a lot of momentum is not.

581
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 7: Being moving forward, and now you.

582
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 6: Know these remains that still are out there getting turned

583
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 6: up in the ground.

584
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 7: Steve.

585
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 6: You know, without people, without the money, without the resources,

586
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 6: without the passion of people out there to do that,

587
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 6: they're going to get lost forever.

588
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 2: Sergeant Major, I'm going to ask for your coordinates. I

589
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 2: want everybody to pile into this, but I want to

590
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: give you a reality check.

591
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: How many of those.

592
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: Remains were men that were killed by the North Koreans

593
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: and the Chinese after the at least the armistice or

594
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 2: the ceasefire.

595
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: We don't have it. We're not a peace in Korea.

596
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: Understand, the Korea Peninsula is still essentially in a suspended

597
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 2: state of war between North and South. But when that

598
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: was agreed to, I think in nineteen fifty three, that

599
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: kind of armistice, how many of these Americans that got

600
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: shipped back were still held in prison camps being tortured

601
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 2: and died died in North Koreana Chinese prisons after the armistice.

602
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 6: You know, I don't know if a lot of people

603
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 6: can put the number on the step, but you're correct.

604
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 6: When I was walking across the nation in twenty twenty two,

605
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 6: I've got a very nice Spry couple in their nineties and.

606
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 7: Mc cabrera and.

607
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 6: His wife Madeline. They were missing Marland's brother Jack Mavern

608
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 6: the United States Army missing from Korea. Well, he was

609
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 6: in Pow He was known to be in Pow Camp

610
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 6: five for a while. When the remains and everybody else

611
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 6: who died in captivity of Pow Camp five who turned

612
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 6: back over at the end of the war. Jack Mathern

613
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 6: a known POW His remains was never turned back over

614
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 6: or his remains laying and unmarked graves waiting for DNA testing.

615
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 6: But there are a lot when that ended, and it

616
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 6: never ended. I don't think you can put a finger

617
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 6: on how many Americans suffered at the hands and those

618
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 6: brutal winners up there probably for one, two, three, who

619
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 6: knows how many years after that?

620
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 2: And in nineteen forty six people, I mean that you

621
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 2: get a telegram and a couple of years so you

622
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 2: get another telegram. People just moved on. Well we ain't

623
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: moving on anyway, Sergeant Major. Your coordinates, where they get to,

624
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: where they get to everything about history flight, where they

625
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,040

00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 2: We spend seven trillion dollars a year, what is it

662
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna was it forty to fifty billion dollars? Was

663
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 2: it the Snap program that you know? I think twenty

664
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 2: percent of this twenty five or so that it goes

665
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 2: to illegal aliens and foreigners that are not American citizens.

666
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: And we got dead and unburied Marines on an island

667
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: in the Pacific, and the Chinese Companies Party is telling us, well,

668
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 2: you can't get a work penment to come and get them.

669
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: It's a hell of a world, isn't it.

670
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 5: Folks.

671
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 4: Here's your host Stephen k Bat, I want.

672
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 2: You to put in perspective exactly where we are. We're

673
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 2: in a government shutdown whatever you call it, right, and

674
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 2: it's over the Democrats. Everything around them has to be illegal.

675
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 2: Aliens are people who are not American citizens. And for

676
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 2: them politically, they think it's working because next Tuesday in

677
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 2: New York they're going to win with Marxist Jiahattist twenty

678
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 2: five years after New York City was attacked by Shahatist

679
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 2: from Saudi Arabia. By the way, when we're talking about

680
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 2: Kennedy and you going to the files and the UFOs,

681
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 2: I got it and all it has to be done.

682
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 2: What about is it the twenty two pages in the

683
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 2: official nine to eleven important? Why don't we just unredact that.

684
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 2: Let's start there, Let's start having some real conversations. You

685
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 2: have a gold star mother, Tina Peters, that's in prison

686
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 2: in Colorado, and I think it was Jocelyn Benson. Whoever

687
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 2: that demon is out there she's bragging about the other

688
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: day she got nine years Tina Peters, a woman I

689
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: think in her late sixties or early seventies, in a

690
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: prison in one of these crappy state prisons, medium security,

691
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: by the way, to.

692
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: Medium securities, very tough.

693
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 2: Tina Peters is in a prison, A gold star mother's

694
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 2: in a prison.

695
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: We have dead.

696
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 2: You talk about the greatest generation, Why don't we start

697
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 2: treating them, Why don't we treat them.

698
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: Like the greatest generation.

699
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 2: Why don't we just go get their bodies and bring

700
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 2: them back and have full military honors and bury them

701
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: in Arlington National Cemetery, or if the families want, there's

702
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 2: a magnificent cemetery in the Philippines, if they want their

703
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 2: loved ones to stay in the Pacific day in Asia

704
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 2: where they died for their country. At the same time,

705
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 2: you get the Democrats with the tree I don't know,

706
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: three and a half dollars for illegal alien medicare, and

707
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 2: everything's about that. You look at these bills are putting up.

708
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 2: They want LGBTQ parades. You know, in like Romania, it's

709
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: insanity and it's got to be brought to an end.

710
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: How do we bring this to an end? Solomon's going

711
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: to be with us in the next hour, and we

712
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: got to get you know her, meet Dylan. I'd love

713
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 2: her meat. I'm a huge fan. But down in Georgia

714
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: with these four I think it's four hundred thousand ballots.

715
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 2: We sent a strongly worded letter yesterday. It's time the

716
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 2: time for strongly worded letters over. We're burning daylight everywhere.

717
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 2: You need to hire more prosecutors. We need to get

718
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,959
Speaker 2: to the bomb. We need to take actually take over

719
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 2: this government. Internally, they're fighting Trump every day and you

720
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 2: see everybody coming down on the Trump twenty twenty eight.

721
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: You know they're ready to move on so fast will

722
00:43:59,400 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: make your heads sow.

723
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 2: And when they move on from Trump, they're going to

724
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 2: move on from trump Ism. Understand what's happening. They're tapping

725
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 2: Trump along. He's doing amazing work. Don't get me wrong.

726
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 2: You never had a guy like this since Lincoln or Washington.

727
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: But the system on his side of the football is.

728
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 2: Working against him. Yep, you can tell it. They're just

729
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 2: they're waiting at the clock. So we either go now

730
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 2: or there's no assurance. You know one thing in life,

731
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 2: you're not guaranteed tomorrow. You're not guaranteed tomorrow. You got today,

732
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 2: You got this moment. The power of this audience, the

733
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: reason people are awed by it throughout the world, is

734
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 2: that you are anti fragile. You are resilient. You can

735
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 2: take a punch, and Arctic frost is just the bureaucratic

736
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: tying together the paperwork of the bureaucrats, you know, the

737
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 2: paper work they had to have. You know, if you've

738
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 2: seen everything about the Holocaust, all the paperwork in the

739
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 2: bureaucratic paperwork of everything that every repression that ever went

740
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 2: on in any country of the world, is it the

741
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 2: Did the bureaucrats use paper clips or they use staples.

742
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: That's what it gets down to in the bureaucratic, administrative function,

743
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 2: the administrative state, as they're crushing you.

744
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: This is what this whole, the whole, you know.

745
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 2: Sergeant Major said that we were born fighting, We were

746
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 2: born in battle.

747
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: We were born.

748
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: Was in nineteen April seventeen seventy five at Lexington and Concord.

749
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: The British Army came out to go there also, Hey,

750
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 2: a handful of the patriots said, suck on this, and

751
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 2: then as they retreated they gave them something they never

752
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 2: seen before, shooting behind every tree, understanding they could get

753
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: their ass kicked because you're fighting the British Army.

754
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: It didn't matter.

755
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 2: So now as the inheritors of that, we got to

756
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 2: get on with it. There can't be any more excuses,

757
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: and no more strongly worded letters, because strongly worded letters

758
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,720
Speaker 2: is just playing into their game. This is why Trump

759
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 2: is a disruptor. This is why he's just going to

760
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 2: do it. It is going to challenge you to stop him.

761
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 2: If you don't understand Trump twenty twenty eight. If you

762
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 2: don't get it, then you don't understand Trump, and you

763
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 2: don't understand the Trump movement, and you do not.

764
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: Understand the core of maga.

765
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 2: We're not playing by conventional We're not going to play

766
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 2: by the conventional order. If he played by the conventional rules,

767
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 2: he would have been president of the United States in

768
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 2: the first place. All these people, all these pundits, they

769
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 2: got this. It's all crap. We're in a war. You

770
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 2: don't think we're in a war. Look what's happened in

771
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 2: New York City. Look what's happening at in Portland. Look

772
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: what's happening. If we didn't have Trump. We didn't have

773
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 2: Trump in sixteen, he had Hillary Clinton, he had Merrick

774
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 2: Garland Supreme Court. Where do you think the country would

775
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 2: be right now? Where if Trump in his moral courage

776
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 2: In early months of twenty twenty one when he got

777
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 2: cut off, every credit card, every.

778
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: Bank, all of it.

779
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 2: If he didn't have the moral courage to come back,

780
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 2: where it in the hell would the country be. Look

781
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 2: on that stage in sixteen those fifteen people against him,

782
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 2: and there's.

783
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: Some very good men and women on that stage.

784
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 2: Not one of them would have been anything more than

785
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 2: controlled opposition.

786
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 3: You think the country got in this shape just by

787
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 3: some you know, it just kind of happened. No, we

788
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 3: had every opportunity to stop it for years.

789
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: And years and years and years.

790
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 2: You want to the lesson of the last six hundred

791
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 2: meters in why I'm pushing this film after seventeen years,

792
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 2: make sure people see it.

793
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: It's not simply the valor and heroism of the Marine Corps.

794
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 2: Which is unbelievable in their day to day efforts as

795
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 2: they've done every day for two hundred and fifty years.

796
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: It's what stopped them, the power that stopped.

797
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 2: Them from victory. At the end of the film, you

798
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 2: feel awful. You feel so empowered by the Marines, and

799
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 2: so awful about the political apparatus that runs this country

800
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 2: and it still runs in today. They see Trump as

801
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 2: a passing summer storm that they can wait out.

802
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: Are you prepared to wait it out? Are you prepared

803
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: to go along with that? If you are, change the

804
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: fricking channel. I'll cut it off right now. I don't

805
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: want to waste my breath. I want the fighters, and

806
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: I want the warriors the next
