>> Lawrence: PLEASE SEND US
YOUR PHOTO SO WE CAN HIGHLIGHT
THEM THIS MORNING.
BY BRINGING TIM KENNEDY FORMER
UFC FIGHTER AND ARMY RANGER SPECIAL FORCES OPERATOR AND
SPECIAL FORCES OPERATOR AND
AUTHOR OF THE NEW BOOK.
>> IT IT’S AN AMAZING DAY.
SO OFTEN WE FORGET WHO WE ARE.
AND HE SAID THE ONLY THING THAT
WAS RISK WITH THOSE THAT SIGNED
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE,
THOSE SIX PEOPLE, MOST OF THEM
SAW PAIN, SUFFERING, LOT HAD
DIED IN BATTLE.
THEY WERE TORTURED AND THEIR
HOUSES WERE BORN DOWN.
IT WAS FOR A REALLY GOOD REASON
THAT THAT’S WHAT WE BECAME.
WE’VE NEVER BEEN PERFECT BUT WE
HAD THE SAME TRAJECTORY OF
ALWAYS IMPROVING.
EVERYTHING WE DID FROM STOPPING
FASCISTS AND GOING ACROSS THE
SEA TO FIGHT THE WERE A
CONTINUAL FIGHT AGAINST
COMMUNISM.
I WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER HOW
AMAZING WE ARE.
TIME WERE IS IT OKAY TO BE
PATRIOTIC?
IS IT NATIONALIST?
WE ARE AN AMAZING COUNTRY AND
WHERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY
THAT EVER LIVED.
HAVING FOUGHT OVERSEAS AND SEEN
SOME OF THE TERRIBLE THINGS THAT
HAPPENED BUT WE ARE SOMETHING
SPECIAL.
IT’S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE
CELEBRATED ON SOMETHING THAT WE
SHOULD HAVE PARADES DOWN THE
STREET.
WE SHOULD SCREAM IT FROM THE
ROOFTOPS.
IT IS SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND
SPECIAL TO BE PART OF THIS
COUNTRY.
IF YOU WERE BORN HERE YOU WON
THE LOTTERY.
YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO BE HERE.
YES WE CAN IMPROVE HAVE
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL HERE. >> CAN I TELL YOU GUYS ON
>> CAN I TELL YOU GUYS ON
SATURDAY NIGHT IMAGINE WE HAVE
PRAYED ON FOR OUR SLEEP AND HAVE
TO GET UP AND PREVENTING HIM WHO
LOST BOTH OF HIS LEGS IN THE
BATTLE FOR THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, JOEY JONES WHO LOST
BOTH OF HIS LEGS FIGHTING FOR
THIS COUNTRY, EVAN HECHLER,
SEVERAL OTHER GREAT VETERANS
WERE ALL GOING TO HAVE A NICE
LITTLE COCKTAIL AT THE END OF
THE NIGHT.
THOUGHT TO MYSELF WHY DID YOU
GO, WELL, WHY DIDN’T YOU LISTEN
TO THE STORY.
OBVIOUSLY WE ALL HAVE GREAT --
I’M JUST CURIOUS THE QUESTION I
WOULD’VE ASKED IS IS THERE
SOMETHING IS HOW TO LISTEN TO A
STORE IS THERE AMONG YOU GUYS,
IS THERE A COMMON THEME?
I’M SURE THERE’S DIFFERENT
MOTIVATING FACTORS BUT WHEN YOUR
VESSEL GET GET TOGETHER DO YOU
SEE A THREAT THAT IS, IN AND ONE
OF YOU?
>> WE WISH MISTY FIRST OF ALL.
WE WISH WE WERE AT THE FAIR
HOTEL JUST INSIDE OF WEST POINT.
WE HAVE A MEDAL OF HONOR’S
RECIPIENT,.
>> WHAT A CROWD.
>> IT WAS A RIDE.
THE BARTENDER LOOKS OVER US THEY
PUT A BOTTLE OF HORSE WHISKEY ON
IT FROM SPECIAL FORCES GROUP.
IN THE COMMON BOND THERE, LIKE
YOU.
THAT THEN GUIDE TO GRAMMAR WE
ALL IS ABSOLUTE LOVE AND BELIEF
IN THE IDF AMERICA.
THIS IDEA HAS BEEN VALUABLE, RIGHT?
IT’S SOMETHING TO BE FOUGHT FOR.
THE BRAVERY OF AMERICANS IS FOR
A REASON.
IT IS THE IDEA THAT IT IS THE
DREAM THAT IS BECOMING AMERICA
EVERY DAY.
THAT’S WHAT WE ALL SHARE IN
COMMON.
WE HELP FULL BELIEF IN WHAT THIS
COUNTRY STANDS FOR AND WHAT WE
CAN ULTIMATELY DO FOR THE PEOPLE
PEOPLE.
THE DECLARATION FOR THE PEOPLE.
>> WELL, TIM, THERE’S A BIT OF
FOOTAGE THAT HAS COME OUT.
THERE WAS A WORLD WAR II MARINE
THAT, HIS NAME BECAUSE SHE WAS
ASKED ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE AND
IS TURNING THE HUNDRED AND IS A
VETERAN HE WAS INTERVIEWED.
I JUST WANT YOU TO SEE THIS
MOMENT BECAUSE IT’S RIVETING THE
COUNTRY.
I’LL JUST LET YOU SEE WHAT HE
SAID AND WE’LL TALK ABOUT IT ON
THE OTHER SIDE.
>> I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT
EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL.
IF I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING TO
MISSING THESE PLANS OUT HERE ALL
THOSE FLOWERS WHEN THE GREEN
GRASS ON THE GROUND, THAT’S
BEAUTIFUL. THE THINGS WE DID COME OF THE
THE THINGS WE DID COME OF THE
THINGS WE FOUND FOR.
OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO IN A
HAND BASKET. WE DON’T HAVE THE COUNTRY I HAD
WE DON’T HAVE THE COUNTRY I HAD
WHEN I WAS IN, NOT AT ALL.
THIS IS NOT THE SAME.
THAT’S NOT WHAT THEY DIED FOR.
>> SO, TIM, I LOVE YOUR OPTIMISM
AND EVERYTHING YOU HAD TO SAY.
BUT I THINK A LOT OF AMERICANS,
ESPECIALLY A LOT OF OLDER
AMERICANS COME I CAN REMEMBER
LIFE WAS LIKE BACK THEN OR MAYBE
JUST 15 YEARS AGO.
I DON’T THINK THEY ARE WRONG.
>> I DO TOO.
THERE ARE IMPERFECT THINGS WITH
THIS COUNTRY THAT WE HAVE TO
WORK ON.
WE’VE NEVER NEVER BEEN PERFECT
I’LL BE DOING THAT THE QUESTION
WAS SO SIGNED THE SALE OF THE
SLAVERY.
THAT HAD SIGNED IT KNEW
THAT IT HAD TO END.
WITH OUR IMPERFECTION CAME A
DESIRE TO SEE THIS DREAM
REALIZED.
HIS WORDS ARE SO POWERFUL AND
COMPELLING GIVING US THE
SACRIFICE.
SAM.
SEEING THE KINDS HORSE THAT I’VE
BEEN AT WAR.
TESSA READ FOR A REASON.
WE ARE SO BLESSED AND IT WAS
LIVED SUCH A GREAT TIME WHERE
IT’S BEEN SO GOOD IN THE
UNITED STATES.
PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT THE
SACRIFICE AND HOW TERRIBLE THIS
WORLD CAN BE.
IT IS SOMETHING WORTH FIGHTING
FOR.
I DO HAVE HOPE AND BELIEF IN MY
COUNTRYMEN.
I’VE BEEN FRUSTRATED WITH MY
COUNTRY OF LATE I’VE NEVER BEEN
MORE PROUD OF MY COUNTRYMEN.
THE THINGS THEY’VE DONE IN
AFGHANISTAN, STEPPING UP TO HELP
US AND OUR ALLIES ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY.
I KNOW AMERICANS.
IT IS STILL THRIVING AND THAT
GIVES ME HOPE.
SPEED TO END AMERICA HAS THIS
REMARKABLE REDEEM ITSELF.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE FEELING OF
MALAISE, WE’VE HELD UP BEFORE
DURING THE CARTING YEARS BY THEN
WE HAD RONALD REAGAN AND MORNING
IN AMERICA AGAIN AND WERE A
LONGING THAT.
MY HEART DID GREAT WHEN I SAW
TIM, IT’S HARD NOT TO.
TIM, YOUR MIND IS ABOUT THAT
AMERICAN SPIRIT.
1776, THAT SPIRIT.
DO YOU THINK YOU MUCH.
