- 0:00Speaker 1: As I was burning there, laying in the desert and
- 0:03Speaker 1: getting to the point where I knew I couldn't put
- 0:05Speaker 1: the flames out myself, and I didn't know if anyone
- 0:07Speaker 1: else was going to get to me. I was wrestling
- 0:10Speaker 1: with the thoughts of how long is he going to
- 0:12Speaker 1: take to burn to death? What's the transition from this
- 0:14Speaker 1: life so the next going to be like? And I
- 0:16Speaker 1: gave up the will to live. And in that next moment,
- 0:20Speaker 1: I heard the voice one of my soldiers and he
- 0:21Speaker 1: screamed out, sir, I've got you, and it gave me
- 0:24Speaker 1: a little spark of hope. But his words weren't enough.
- 0:28Speaker 1: If he just stood away in safety and screamed out
- 0:32Speaker 1: I've got you and didn't bring himself to me through
- 0:35Speaker 1: the fire and began to put out the flames, then
- 0:41Speaker 1: I would have died. But he did come to me.
- 0:44Speaker 1: It was his actions that actually saved my life. And look,
- 0:48Speaker 1: I've detailed that story and kind of the rest of
- 0:51Speaker 1: my life in this book that I just released last
- 0:53Speaker 1: week on the sixteenth anniversary of my Live Day. It's
- 0:57Speaker 1: called A Live Day. Anyone can get it on Amazon.
- 1:00Speaker 1: But that moment has propelled me to where I'm at today,
- 1:05Speaker 1: and I believe that America is hurting. There's a lot
- 1:08Speaker 1: of people that are in that moment of crisis in
- 1:11Speaker 1: their life, and we've got people who will just call
- 1:15Speaker 1: out like you know, I've got you, but won't do
- 1:18Speaker 1: anything about it. My book is about it's not a
- 1:21Speaker 1: political book. It's about giving people hope who are desperate
- 1:26Speaker 1: to just survive. In my book is sharing that story,
- 1:31Speaker 1: that message, and me running for the Senate is me
- 1:34Speaker 1: following through on doing more than just talking, but taking action.
