- 0:06Speaker 2: Mama, Mama, she said, and joining us now our American mama,
- 0:20Speaker 2: Terry Netta Military.
- 0:21Speaker 1: I know you watched the whole thing. What did you think?
- 0:24Speaker 1: What were your highlights for you?
- 0:26Speaker 3: I loved it is He's a master communicator. You know,
- 0:32Speaker 3: it was over. I think it was the longest one
- 0:34Speaker 3: after Bill Clinton. Yeah, yeah, it didn't feel that long
- 0:37Speaker 3: because of you know, he's got this ability to tell
- 0:40Speaker 3: stories about people. And I know you're going to go
- 0:42Speaker 3: into the negative side of the Democrats during Digging Deep,
- 0:45Speaker 3: and I cannot wait to hear that. So I'm going
- 0:47Speaker 3: to talk about some of the positive things that just
- 0:49Speaker 3: left me feeling just so proud that he is our president.
- 0:54Speaker 3: He had people come and then he relayed the story
- 1:00Speaker 3: of their American heroism or patriotism and honored them with
- 1:07Speaker 3: different kinds of medals, and.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Yeah, very it was interesting. He gave away two Congressional
- 1:14Speaker 1: Medals of Honor and what two purple hearts, three purple
- 1:18Speaker 1: hearts something like that in a Congressional Medal of freedom
- 1:23Speaker 1: to the hockey goalkeeper. I mean, that's a lot of
- 1:26Speaker 1: activity in the state of the Union.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Well, and as he's telling the stories you're imagining, like
- 1:31Speaker 3: when he was talking about Eric Slover, he's the one
- 1:34Speaker 3: that I think he led the Maduro.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Yeah, the pilot. He was in the lead helicopter, in
- 1:39Speaker 1: the pilot for that helicopter raid, and he got shot
- 1:42Speaker 1: up a bunch and continued to fly the helicopters even
- 1:48Speaker 1: though his hip was shattered, his right leg was shattered.
- 1:50Speaker 1: You need your feet, you need your legs to be
- 1:52Speaker 1: able to fly a helicopter. Yes, and he was still
- 1:54Speaker 1: doing it even though he had bullets flying through him.
- 1:57Speaker 3: And one of the service members that I think he
- 2:01Speaker 3: served with him years ago for eighteen years, he said
- 2:03Speaker 3: he was with him. He said, he is the last
- 2:06Speaker 3: person to want recognition, Yeah, but the first to deserve it.
- 2:10Speaker 1: You know, I'm glad you brought it up because I
- 2:11Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about this one moment that really
- 2:14Speaker 1: struck me the most. So you saw him getting that
- 2:17Speaker 1: Medal of Honor, Congression Metal Honor, which I was I
- 2:19Speaker 1: was surprised he got. You don't normally get a Congression
- 2:21Speaker 1: Medal of honor within weeks of you doing. The action
- 2:24Speaker 1: usually comes posthumously and later. But as he was receiving
- 2:28Speaker 1: the Congression Metal honor, did you see his wife standing
- 2:31Speaker 1: next to him? Did you see the pride on her?
- 2:35Speaker 1: He was stoked, he was stoicing. He's like, boy, I
- 2:37Speaker 1: don't deserve this. But the look on her face was
- 2:41Speaker 1: that's my man, that's right.
- 2:42Speaker 3: I definitely did see that. And this is the first
- 2:44Speaker 3: State of the Unit address that I went back today
- 2:46Speaker 3: and look forward to seeing those clips again. I wanted to
- 2:49Speaker 3: watch them again. And he like he was straight out
- 2:52Speaker 3: of Central casting. Just this broad shoulder, you know, young guy,
- 2:56Speaker 3: And that's what you think about when you think of
- 2:58Speaker 3: the American soldier. But you said something interesting, you said,
- 3:01Speaker 3: a lot of times they wait till later. Yes, So
- 3:04Speaker 3: they had Royce the one hundred year old for example. Yeah,
- 3:09Speaker 3: and you know one of the things that he said,
- 3:11Speaker 3: and I think he wanted to have it like during
- 3:13Speaker 3: Biden's years, but Biden didn't give it to him. And
- 3:16Speaker 3: someone asked him, how you know, what would you do
- 3:18Speaker 3: if one of the presidents gave you this? And he said,
- 3:21Speaker 3: I would be an awe. I would wish that my
- 3:23Speaker 3: mom and Dad could see me. I wish the guys
- 3:25Speaker 3: around me because this is a man who did so
- 3:29Speaker 3: much for our country when we needed him to, and
- 3:33Speaker 3: he's getting this award and most of the people that
- 3:36Speaker 3: knew him, loved him and worked alongside him. They perished
- 3:41Speaker 3: most likely, but he was here to receive it, and
- 3:44Speaker 3: Trump honored that. And I was so grateful for that,
- 3:47Speaker 3: because I think posthumously is great. That's great. This was
- 3:52Speaker 3: something different. It's like he got to feel that moment
- 3:55Speaker 3: and it looked like his daughter or granddaughter right beside him.
- 3:58Speaker 1: You could tell how much it meant it to this
- 4:00Speaker 1: Korean War veteran who One of the other things Trump
- 4:03Speaker 1: said in that was he wasn't just fighting the Chinese,
- 4:06Speaker 1: he was fighting Soviet pilots, which means that during the
- 4:10Speaker 1: Korean War, the Soviet Union was actually intervening on the
- 4:14Speaker 1: side of North Korea. The Cold War was actually hot
- 4:17Speaker 1: during the Korean War. It was Soviet pilots who were
- 4:20Speaker 1: shooting our men down and who we were shooting back at.
- 4:23Speaker 3: See all of these stories, I think that Trump loves
- 4:25Speaker 3: to do that too. They're inspiring. Yeah, I bet you
- 4:28Speaker 3: so many sign up. I mean, I know they've got
- 4:30Speaker 3: record number of guys and girls signing up to be
- 4:33Speaker 3: in the military.
- 4:33Speaker 1: They do.
- 4:34Speaker 3: But then you have the guy the Coastguard, the young
- 4:36Speaker 3: guy that remember that flood in Texas that took the
- 4:39Speaker 3: camp of the girls, and this was his first mission.
- 4:42Speaker 3: He's so young, straight first mission, after his course of
- 4:46Speaker 3: getting whatever he needed, his credentials, and he not only
- 4:49Speaker 3: saved her.
- 4:50Speaker 1: But hundreds, He saved hundreds of children.
- 4:53Speaker 3: And the fact that Trump brought them up so that
- 4:56Speaker 3: we could imagine the scene, you know, the way he
- 4:58Speaker 3: tells their story, the way that we can imagine this unfolding.
- 5:03Speaker 3: And you see him right there with young Milly.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Doing a little fist bump.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Whom he saved, and they did a fist bump. And
- 5:09Speaker 3: I think he does this brilliantly because you, first of all,
- 5:14Speaker 3: I wanted the stories to keep going. You know, he
- 5:16Speaker 3: told several more and you're just sitting there going, this
- 5:19Speaker 3: is what it means to be an American, right, this
- 5:21Speaker 3: is it.
- 5:22Speaker 1: You would think you would think he would think that
- 5:24Speaker 1: this is what it means to be American. Coming up
- 5:26Speaker 1: next and digging deep, we're gonna talk about all the
- 5:28Speaker 1: Democrats who didn't think that That's what it means to
- 5:30Speaker 1: be American. If you like to ask our American Mama
