It is cook outs . It is about baked beans. Maybe from coleslaw. But that is not what its about. You can do that any day of the week. That said, labor say is a celebration of you. Working american. Middle class americans. You know the communist believe, that people at the bottom, would rise up and over throw the capitalist system, the managers and the executives and land owners, landlords and the rest. It never happened. Because in our country we had this industrial revolution, what did that do . Despite what you hear, brought in electricity to every home. Cars in every garage. Clean water in our homes, i could go on. I know that left likes to talk about robber banners, the biggest is federal government, these men were not robber barons, they were capitalists they used system, unrestrained to build the greatest economic power on earth, there were decisions made for the body politic, through president s through congresses and State Legislatures and governments, that trim their sails. But all that said, the Railroad System and Freight System that we benefit today from part of our infrastructure comes out of that central repres sportindustrial revolution, thi this. They want us to go back to living under trees and sipping water out of the streams, not happening, with that america creates tremendous heroes. And human beings, and one of them was delighted to meet, johnny joey jones. He im bodies that strength. He embodies americanism. He wrote a fantastic book, unbroken bonds of battle, i want to check out this clip. You know a tremendous honor to have joey jones with me, i know he is all over fox, and he appears on fox, but he has never been on this program before. And i have to tell you, somebody who really admires a handful of people, i really admire you, joey jones, unbroken bonds. This is an emotional book. It is such a fantastic book. And your humility could be seen throughout this, you dont want to talk about yourself a lot, you want to talk about your brothers, some of whom survived, some did not, some are having issues, this is a patriotic book. You can get it at amazon. Com or any other bookstore. But briefly tell us, we know you lost boeing yo both your legs. But yoke i i dont know if people know how. My job in marine corps was to take Bombs Apartment most people know, you refer to them as roadside bombs, the way that enemy pries to kitried to killou us to put bombs on the ground, my job was to help find them, and then my job was to take them apart and move them, on august 6, 2020 2020 2010, we were trying to get less ieds available for enemy, the they made it a minefield. And after 5 days of taking apart every one that we could find. Just by luck and ses, i stepped on one. I stepped on an ied with my right foot, it blew up and. I woke up without legs any more. I woke up concerned about marines around me. Mark you discussed several of them. Your friends, what happens to them and so forth. Who would you like to focus on for the brief time we have, i dont think it appropriate for me too pick out one or the other. It is more appropriate for you. When you read the book, first these Chapter Three marines that know each another well, greg, a major, amos benjamin, and danny ridgeway, staff nco. Their lives are interconnected. Amos was a marine, they men entered him, and dannys mentor was gregs best friend in th the marines, you read thosey there 3 chapters as a section, we talk all about the time suicide, we need to talk about what it is that drives man to kill himself, they get into the details. Of what has been difficult for them to overcome, survivors guilt is a real thing, think about that times 12 or 20 or 10 years, for them to be in a place now to share this raw emotional part of their life, but say, just a group text of individuals that kept me alive, now a group text of individuals that let me celebrate, im in that group text with those 3 and others that is what this book is about those relationships. The first third of first half of the book. What kept clicking in my mind was private ryan, Band Of Brothers and even the longest yard. We never really know what happens to these people, the great heroes after the battles after the war. Your book spends a lot of time what happens after and so i think it is so remarkable, u unbroken bonds of battle. I finished reading it last night it is very emotional, it i cant properly express myself, i want to say this to people, you see joey on fox all of the time, he is a remarkable man, he will turn 37 soon, first time i have talked to him on television, only time was in radio. He is the kind of guy, you dont need too get to know me, i would like to get to know, quite frankly. What comes across in your book, you are a Ri Red Blooded Regular American who was called to duties, stepped up with several of your trendss friends, stepped into the battle, you fought for your country, yo come back and you are still fighting for your country, this book to me among others who could benefit is people who kind of done what you have done, done Something Like you have done, in different wars, different battles, fields. Who might still be struggling with family, and mental and physical issues, what do you want to tell them . You know, that is thing were all struggling until the day we die, closer we come to being comfortable with that and understanding it and working on it every day, instead of thinking you can take a pill and be good again, life is struggle, struggle is life that is part of it,y talked about three guy, you read their chapters is not a happy inninending they still work every day to overcome things but they are in a better place. Right new today aaron hill, one of the chapters on a 135 mile hardest footraces ever. Here in the United States in hot sun out west. He is blind, and deaf, he uses a cochlear implant. He is on that run today to remind him today life is till worth lifing, challenges are worth overcoming there is something left in the tank. We have to keep pushing ourselves and motivating ourselves and having en friends to tell us were worth while, when you read the book, these guys and one me ffemale, the gold star wife, they deal with tur it every day, we learn to overcome them and live with them, and we 11 to be better prepared for next piece of adversity to to hit us in the face, veterans have tools that anothers dont, but the things we go through sometimes make us forget to use them. Mark what to you tell the American People who are really down on what is going on with their country today. Including military. The way we exited afghanistan. Abuses of the government. The refusal to enforce the laws many people are giving up. Hard to respond, i dont think what giving up looks like, i know what failing looks like, i have failed so much more than succeeded. But i don i dont know about giving up i dont think this country knows how to give up. We may need t to take a breath or time out but we dont give up. Our problems are derived from our pros perty work prosperity, we have to put it in perspective. They experienced this country in 1920s, and 1940s, we either had to scrap everything we had to eat or to win a war, those are lessons that cs that can still be applied today. There is always a class of americans that are willing to fight and gu die to keep it that way. And were only alive as long as we have that. Our responsibility to keep the country around for a hundred years and long enough to hand it off and train them and teach them right, have the positive influence is people in your life, you have kids and grand kids or a Teach O Teacher over a police officer.

Download duckduk mark welcome back to particulspecial labor day episode of life, Liberty And Levin, we are looking back at wonderful guests, we have cib la seen last few years elite are trying hard to push their radical agenda on American People, we are just trying to to live our lives, wh will win, Newt Gingrich has an idea. Newt gingrich Terrible Wrestling Match were takenvolved in right now, how does this turn out. I think the American People win. The elites lose. That has been history of all of american behavior. I think that that is judg judge jefferson that is why jefferson beat adams, Take Wisconsin in wisconsin, the left set out to buy a Supreme Court seat, that makes it political rather than judicial, they out spend republicans 6 to 1, they won the seat, the media said it was about abortion, no, it was about a corrupt system that outspent the right by 6 to 1. However, the very same day, with very same voters, 79 voted for welfare reform, they also voted overwhelm league to increase the Pannalitithe Pethe pe penalty on on crime. You have at the way up here, if you will, the New York TimesWashington Post and nbc, corporate boards are going to left, below them there is you an underlying ocean of americans who are repudiating extremism. Ure had a superior majority elected in wisconsin, and a democrat switch in North Carolina creating a super majority in republican party. You had a Legislator Switch in louisiana, see this continual drift against the extremists, that is why im in the lincoln tradition. I believe with popular sentiment, anything is possible. Without popular sentiment nothing is possible. That is a direct quote from abraham lincoln. Mark maybe i am in o aristotle tradition, in michigan we lost the legislature there and centralization of government, they have succeed on hugely, to impose their will on American People, and other societies as well. You see a president who rules by Executive Order. Hard to reverse that Executive Order. In frederick country, maryland. Im just pointing out, i think you are right. Yeah. Mark but i think they have positioned themselves the rules class to rule. Go ahead. That is they are doing what they should do. They are trying to impose on the American People a radical set of values, remember, if trump wins, and i suspect he will, he could undo every one of bidensic ons t Executive Order the first day, there is zero possibility that house republicans, and speaker Kevin Mccarthy will pass anything that is permanent that makes left field good feel good. So, you know i like out there, in michigan is a great case nobody has studied two most likely candidates for governor were both knocked off the ballot. Not allowed to run. Again very much like they are trying to do to trump. I think they michigan would not have been this democratic had they not rigged the election by knocking the two candidates off. I we say country where the country is moving away from the extremists. And with even in new york, we now have a republican majority in u. S. House, because we kept picking up sa seats in new york. Maybe im a permanent optimist because i am a reaganite. The American People in the end will beat the extremists. Mark i hope you are right, were only beating them if we fight like hell, right. That right. Mark that is why parent groups are important and pro life groups are important. All of these people who are rising up like the tea party rose up. Very important. Because i fear if we lose the last next election, they will be able to enshrine their agenda in ways that will make it extremely difficult to unravel it. I think that is right. We have met an extremist opponent willing to dictate to the rest of us either way win or we win, this will be an important election and all of us who are against extremism need to find a way to Work Together to beat it. Mark that was great, when we return, a Great American just serving his country as governor, and was sidelined. By jack smith and other rebreprese represent hi im chaka khan and i feel for you and your health. Black americans are at a higher risk for diabetes, but were less likely to get the latest technology to manage this dangerous disease. Its called cgm continuous glucose monitoring. Instead of a painful finger stick to check your blood sugar, you wear a small device that can give you Glucose Readings at anytime. If you have diabetes, find out if cgm is right for you. Ohhh, ohh oh oh ahhh ah la la la la la la la la la la la oh, i want to thank you show my gratitude my love, and my respect for you i want to thank you im jon scott, now back to life, Liberty And Levin. Mark welcome back america. Tonight we bring you a Sprsh Progrprogram is program to celebrate labor day holiday. Hearing from a few fantastic guests, we go to bob mcdonald who was railroaded by jack smith the rogue prosecutor. Mark i thought nobody better to discuss jack smith and his people and their abuses than someone who was victimized by them, that is former governor bob mcdonald, republican of virginia. Governor welcome. Maybe you can walk us through this. Public int inf integrity session, you are convicted on appeal, they uphold it and then the Supreme Court says wait, you cant define bribery that way, they said, it was so broad, it could catch almost anyone, but they indicted not just you but your wife, can you tell us about it. Thank you, mark that was a painful 3 1 2 years from the investigation. Until we into the the en vindicated by the Supreme Court, i knew in my heart from the beginning, and looking at law and facts that the charges were wrong. You know at the time, David Harbaugh was lead one of lead prosecutors in case, he did the closing argument, jack smith was in Public Integrity from this 5 year stretch. You know we our well i have two of the best firms in the world. They went to the justice department, met with Department Attorney general of United States and laid out a brief about why they got the law wrong and why i didnt do anything wrong. Yet they persisted, mark and and they pulled trigger and indictment started. They have investigators and the money and access to Washington Post through likes, regular leaks. And it took unanimous Supreme Court to get it right, it was difficult, i walked away with what he did in lois lerner case, advising people it was okay to go after conservatives and bob menendez and other cases, i think he is overzealous. I think he doesnt do an honest look at the law to see if the facts apply to the law. And so he rather would win than get it right, it may be some of the influence we see now in the decisions he is making in the current cases. That is why the Supreme Court of United States said, yogot it wrong. You watch up ordinary things that political figures do every day, you put everyone at risk with your view of the law. That is a caution. Did they try to undermine our attorneyclient privilege with your lawyers and you . We had leaks of grand jury information, that ended up in the Washington Post, which is wrong doing. And there was evidence that came that came in during the trial tendered by the government that were things that i t
