Never new much about Pete but he's a great patriotic Man. Mike Rowe is a wonderful person and a national treasure for America. Thank God we now have a Great president in Donald Trump'. He's going to make America Great Again
Love this guy. I was raised by parents who loved America. The 4th of July was bigger than Christmas - lots of celebration with a family reunion with kids and grandkids, a boat parade on the lake, cookout, and a spectacular fireworks display. My dad was very careful to take down the flag before sunset and taught us how to fold it properly. When he could no longer physically get to the flagpole, he installed a light that would automatically turn on at sunset to keep the flag lit. He is no longer with us and we are all living in different places but those are memories we will always cherish. In these last four years, it's hard for me to celebrate America without a lot of sadness and grief. But I can celebrate my faith in God, knowing with confidence that He still upholds and governs our precious nation.
Excellent video, thank you all. I'm old, 75. In 1967, aged 19, I had a decent job running night shift at a radio station. I was in college, 2SH deferment. July 1968 I volunteered for the draft. Three months later, I got my draft notice. I have never figured out why I took this path. I served 3 years, got married, raised 2 sons and have had a great life. If needed, I would serve again. I am now off to buy my next book.
I told my son before he went into the Marines that he should only do it if he’s doing it for the love of what our country stands for! To be willing to put your life on the line for God’s sake, he served for 5.5 years.🇺🇸💝😇🙏I thank all who have served with purity of heart for God and the USA!❤️
Yeah, growing up Republican, I thought we were the party of Patriotism. Now Republicans root for an ex-KGB agent to defeat NATO, nominate a guy who demands the “termination” of the Constitution, and blame every bad thing in the world on America. Ronald Reagan is rolling in his grave. 😢🇺🇸
He's been sitting on this July 4th interview for just such a pre-election time.... Again the dirtiest job in America, somebody's gotta do it Mike... Can't help but think if you were on the ballot there would be no contesting outcome.
@@joeblow1104 It's not the "government" that is bad, it's the current administration. Communist fascists have taken over the Democrar party and are poisoning our country with their propoganda. The actions taken by today's "Democrats" mirror the actions of Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler and others who imprisoned their countries by "criminalizing" their political opponents and promising their followers they would provide them with carefree lives in a United utopia.
There is nothing better to see, or participate in than a small town Memorial Day or Veterans Day parade. Being a Submarine Vet and participating in small town parades in Ohio renews my patriotism every time!!
Thank you Jesus. It's astounding how listening to this has opened up a whole new way to think and apply myself in my own life. Thank you Men for taking charge to inspire change.
I feel apprehensive about where this nation and our military is headed. It was said by our enemy that the only way to defeat America is from within. Far too many write that threat off as we watch the systematic dismantling of our country from the inside.
My dad was a Marine in WWll, my brother was in the Navy and my daughter just retired from the Air Force and I also have 2 granddaughters in the Air Force National Guard one is in four years and the other just a few months. I just wish they were a little more patriotic because they just don’t seem like they are. My dad joined right after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor while my brother and daughter went in because they just thought it was a good idea. Thank you Pete for your service!
Mr Rowe, i have always respected your views and experiences. I hope someday you will consider doing your own take on Paul Harvey's "if i were the devil" thank you for showing Pete to the world on your platform. You both are American patriotic symbols!
So true Pete. (Thank you for your service.) If you serve/live overseas, that is one thing that will give you that perspective to give you appreciation and gratitude for our nation.
Frequent catching & hugging/petting the rooster for a few weeks works every time to train a rooster to avoid people. They hate being held. Then you can teach the kids to catch & hold the rooster, so he'll also avoid children. You much teach the kids to be confident & safe around the animals.
One of the things that really stirred me in late 60's for patriotism was the "Up With People" organization and concerts they gave. Of course during that time of history almost everyone I knew was patriotic but that group really moved me.
Up,up with people, you meet ‘em wherever you go…..up, up with people, they’re the best kind of folks I know…or something like that…😂 I remember them coming to our high school. Geez, I can still hear them singing.
I was a female in the Army, I would never want to be stuck in a tank with 5 guys!! Men are stronger, they need to do strong jobs, jobs that take mental toughness can go either way. Mental toughness has nothing to do with gender. That’s the mistake people make when assigning jobs.
We were at OFFUT AFB during Dessert Storm. Our troops withdrew and Gen Schwarzkopf said we should stay and finish the job. Instead, Congress did the biggest military drawdown that changed the composition of the military based on politics. No good military leader gave the green light on the CF that was withdrawl from Afghanistan. That was 100% a political decision, and perhaps the blunder that gifted them with a base full of supplies was a staged blunder w/out regard for our people with boots on the ground. It cost good men and women their lives. Our military needs a polish and shine when our government gets cleaned up. BTW, I still appreciate it when a man holds a door for me. ❤
Self worth is what families give you and the values you learn within that framework are the foundation to build on. A wonderful way for families to celebrate patriotism occurs on Christmas morning (free to the public) watch the reenactment of Washington Crossing the Delaware. It will make you feel a moment in history that changed the course of our country.
1:01:01 Navy was "It's not just a job, it's an adventure". 99 percent of recruits would only be ALLOWED to see ONCE in an Enlistment for LESS than 24HRS if they were Lucky enough that the boat they were sent to was in a deployment cycle and NOT stuck in a shipyard drydock, or a medium maintenance rotation for half or more of their enlistment. The commercials made it look like a Cruise Ship to Exotic Ports nothing bigger than a Destroyer can even navigate a channel to.
All respect to Pete and I agree wholeheartedly with his views. Sadly, any product, team or charity using the name patriot is the pure opposite of the word and therefore utter garbage.
Civics isnt taught anymore and then we wonder about the decline of civic groups and institutions. This insidious slide toward secularism and lack of patriotism is contributing to the decline. I'm glad there are still some parents who actually teach by example and instill values that made this country. Bless you both. it gives me some hope.
One of the things to love about the country is that you CAN criticize it, or more specifically the government. I'm not sure today's service members, and civilian authorities, even understand the oath we all took. (Early 70s draftee, wouldn't change it now for anything). 🇺🇸 That being allegiance and service to and the oath to protect, the constitution. Not the government. BTW, How do you "deal with" a spare rooster? Roaster or stew?
Ty Mike Chuck and Pete. Cleaning dirty chicken coop and run this week too! Trying to get ready before winter gets here in nys. Love our hens and one protective rooster :)
As a Canadian I have witnessed the loss of patriotism in my lifetime. Largely as a result of multiculturalism which encourages ethnic identity and discourages cultural assimilation. For decades I envied the American sense of patriotism where people of all ethnic groups would rally around the flag and were proudly “Americans”. Sadly I’ve watched this change in America through ever increasing progressive politics and ideology. The only true thing Justin Trudeau ever said was, “there is no Canadian identity”. Coincidentally it was his father Pierre Trudeau who introduced multiculturalism and its inevitable destructive results into Canada. When the fabric of a nations society is gone you no longer have a nation, only a landscape of civil unrest waiting to erupt.
We're lucky to be retired and living in a small town in a small county in Utah. The biggest event here is the week long county fair with a parade, rodeo, chili cook off, etc. Everyone waves as we move around from place to place. Wouldn't it be great if our entire country could do the same?
DOD will thrive with this guy at the helm, that's for sure. Imagine how recrutement will go through the roof with him ending DEI crap , etc. My soul is singing
When it comes to patriotism, I still believe in the old adage, birds of a feather flock together. More people serving in the military or military support organizations while pushing for peace will help. A very powerful and never used military is a great investment. I only wish more people understood that simple truth. My push would be to make it harder for the Executive branch to deploy military assets without the same congressional approval that is needed for war. The military is not a tool for the Executive branch to play with. The military should only be used when the country is attacked. This takes into account the NATO rules where an attack on one is an attack on all.
Our nation is headed toward great change. The indigenous tribe's leader is stepping forward setting that change into effect. TH-cam Empress Chakra Rare Bird has the documents and receipts. This would be a wonderful topic and an education for this nation and world wide
Hey Mike! Off topic but I’d love your input. I’m a 61 yo man who has worked his ass off all my life. I’ve built houses, commercial buildings, fighter jets for Boeing (F18-G)and Lockheed (F35). Not to offend you as an entertainer but how is it that entertainers deserve a lifelong royalties on movies and music they’ve acted in or played/sung? People have lived, worked and shopped in buildings that I built years and years ago. People continue to fly the jets I’ve built and maintained over the years. My fighter jets have defended our country and our allies. I spend 21 honorable years in the military and get a stinking $1018.00/month and I still have to pay for crappy dental insurance that only covers 35% of my dental bills. Sounds like double standards to me! I’m not pointing to finger at you but you really speak up for the working man. I couldn’t think of a better man to ask.
Army of ONE was a poorly communicated concept. It stood for Officers, Non-commissioned officers, and Enlisted. I was a Navy recruiter at the time it came out and it made no sense to me, so the Army guys had to explain it to me. (Navy 24 yrs still going, thanks for the show)
With that few chickens, you could use fine pine shavings for bedding and sift the poop out of the coop with a cat litter scoop every day or so. Takes 5 minutes and the coop never gets nasty. 😊
I went through the last basic training that was men only. In my MOS there was a 6 month AIT. Like 5 of us from the same class in the same AIT went to the same UNIT. All of the women had been to the board and promote-able with-in a month or two of being at permanent duty. NONE of the mem, who went through the SAME AIT, some who EXCELLED out EARLY, had been to board and were NOT promote-able, 3+ years later. In that MOS at that time, you had 9 years to get promoted, or YOU'RE FIRED. They were pity promoting 1x person a year. 4x+ or more of my MOS at any given unit, 40-ish units across the army. That's 151+ guaranteed firings every 9-ish years.
Note to Chuck: John Adams said this about Independence Day... "It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with [shows], games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more."
My own path also could not have been scripted. Navy brat, high school drop out, Nuclear sub sailor, aerospace tech, Masters degree, stay at home dad, wood shop guy, auto racing historian, author. Had I written a stay at home dad book, I would have called it "All the Cliches are True."
In the early 90s at the age of twelve to therteen, I had a patriotic mind set. I had gathered a moderate amount of patriotic things, such as a number of American Flags. At some point in that time. I noticed one of the flags had been made in China. After that, I looked at the rest of the American flags in my collection. Of the ten to twelve Flags I inspected, every one of them, said, made in China. I collected every one of them and threw them away. The end of my patriotic mindset.
I'm in Columbus, Ohio...a New American city. What patriotism? I had a conversation with a bank manager last year about how shocking it is to see other flags being flown and not the American flag for the 4th of July. Columbus has been divided into little countries. There is no America here despite what you might read about being blended. Many here are hoping to return to their homeland and feel nothing toward the United States or America's values. Some are here to make enough money to send back and then at some point they can go back home and others are here because of war situations, but all do not plan on staying in America forever.
The illegals you speak of care about one thing and it sure as hell isn't the country which is being pillaged by millions upon millions of people who don't have respect for anyone much less respect for the very country that is giving them everything by excluding American citizens who are entitled to them. And it's all been perpetrated by the Marxist democratic party to ensure that this once great country becomes a one party communist ruled country.
True. Many are only here part time yet reap benefits that most Americans could only dream of receiving. We are literally giving away our country piece by piece. Please keep talking about these things.
Trump nominated him for Secretary of Defense! He can fix it! How exciting! It didn't make sense to me at first. Now it makes PERFECT sense! Trump is serious about fixing this country.
Pete is going to be an exceptional Secretary of Defense! Congratulations!
Thank you for your service!
Congratulations to Pete! Lets reform the defense department and Make America Great Again!

You love hate, the craft of MAGA dolts.
Sadly the "home of the brave" in this day is a cozy slogan. When for generations it was a REAL way of life.
After 2020 I realized the brave had all died.
Awesome episode
Patriotism is still alive
God Bless America 💪🏻🇺🇸🙏🏼
There is nothing better to see, or participate in than a small town Memorial Day or Veterans Day parade. Being a Submarine Vet and participating in small town parades in Ohio renews my patriotism every time!!
Pray for America and all those still trying to keep it free! ❤️
Patriotism is a form of gratitude.
If we want this country to be what we know it can be then we need people who actually know how to do stuff and be proud of what they know how to do
Been watching Pete for a long time...!!! Go Pete...!!! Make our military great again...!!!
One of the best podcasts ever Mike. Thank you!
Thanks Mike for bringing Pete on very inspirational very patriotic conversation thank you..🤔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

just awesome, as a combat vet and retired firefighter ty. It is time to turn the tide.
Two Great American Men Thank you for the stand you take, Great podcast !
My husband is a Air force vet. We love our country. Flags wave on our front porch year round!!! Our Christmas lights are Red, White, and Blue.!!!

Warms my heart to hear two men with a fond look on the past, and the potential for our future to be just as great!
Pete Hegseth has just been assigned the job of Secretary of Defense!
God Bless you both! All The Way rakkasans!
Great interview!

So true Pete. (Thank you for your service.) If you serve/live overseas, that is one thing that will give you that perspective to give you appreciation and gratitude for our nation.
Man I miss the patriotism of my young days in the 80s. Being an airforce brat and growing up on bases, we All stood together
Thank you

Hey Mike! Off topic but I’d love your input. I’m a 61 yo man who has worked his ass off all my life. I’ve built houses, commercial buildings, fighter jets for Boeing (F18-G)and Lockheed (F35). Not to offend you as an entertainer but how is it that entertainers deserve a lifelong royalties on movies and music they’ve acted in or played/sung? People have lived, worked and shopped in buildings that I built years and years ago. People continue to fly the jets I’ve built and maintained over the years. My fighter jets have defended our country and our allies. I spend 21 honorable years in the military and get a stinking $1018.00/month and I still have to pay for crappy dental insurance that only covers 35% of my dental bills. Sounds like double standards to me! I’m not pointing to finger at you but you really speak up for the working man. I couldn’t think of a better man to ask.
Army of ONE was a poorly communicated concept. It stood for Officers, Non-commissioned officers, and Enlisted. I was a Navy recruiter at the time it came out and it made no sense to me, so the Army guys had to explain it to me. (Navy 24 yrs still going, thanks for the show)
There are no qualifiers, America is great
