  • Honored to be here. thank you. welcome to tennessee.

  • Thank you.
  • 00:00:40.998 --> 00:00:41.665
  • Beautiful.

  • We'll get you some sweet tea
  • 00:00:42.333 --> 00:00:43.400
  • Before you slip out of town, i promise. absolutely.
  • 00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:45.703
  • You know, one of the most important
  • 00:00:45.703 --> 00:00:46.937
  • Responsibilities of government is caring for the men and women
  • 00:00:46.937 --> 00:00:50.207
  • Who volunteer to defend our nation.
  • 00:00:50.207 --> 00:00:52.376
  • We ask them to leave their families,
  • 00:00:52.376 --> 00:00:54.145
  • Put themselves in harm's way, and stand ready to serve
  • 00:00:54.145 --> 00:00:57.047
  • Whenever and wherever they are called.
  • 00:00:57.047 --> 00:00:59.416
  • In return, we expect our leaders to treat them with fairness,
  • 00:00:59.416 --> 00:01:02.853
  • With respect and gratitude
  • 00:01:02.853 --> 00:01:04.722
  • For the sacrifices that they make on behalf of all of us.
  • 00:01:04.722 --> 00:01:07.758
  • Well, during the covid
  • 00:01:08.225 --> 00:01:09.426
  • Pandemic, americans experienced an unprecedented expansion
  • 00:01:09.426 --> 00:01:13.130
  • Of government overreach
  • 00:01:13.130 --> 00:01:14.465
  • Into nearly every aspect of our daily life.
  • 00:01:14.465 --> 00:01:17.568
  • Businesses were shut down, schools were closed,
  • 00:01:17.568 --> 00:01:20.004
  • Churches faced restrictions,
  • 00:01:20.004 --> 00:01:21.906
  • Millions of people found themselves navigating policies
  • 00:01:21.906 --> 00:01:25.075
  • That would have seemed
  • 00:01:25.075 --> 00:01:25.976
  • Unimaginable just a few years earlier.
  • 00:01:25.976 --> 00:01:28.379
  • While the military was not immune from those changes.
  • 00:01:28.379 --> 00:01:31.415
  • In august of 2021, the biden administration imposed
  • 00:01:31.415 --> 00:01:34.818
  • A covid vaccine mandate for the members of the armed forces.
  • 00:01:34.818 --> 00:01:38.923
  • Pentagon leaders made clear that service members
  • 00:01:38.923 --> 00:01:41.125
  • Would be expected to comply or else.
  • 00:01:41.125 --> 00:01:44.595
  • Well, thousands of troops were ultimately discharged
  • 00:01:44.595 --> 00:01:46.897
  • Because of their vaccination status.
  • 00:01:46.897 --> 00:01:48.999
  • Others saw their careers affected
  • 00:01:48.999 --> 00:01:50.568
  • Through negative evaluations
  • 00:01:50.568 --> 00:01:51.902
  • And lost opportunities for advancement.
  • 00:01:51.902 --> 00:01:54.305
  • Well, today, the trump administration is attempting
  • 00:01:54.305 --> 00:01:57.007
  • To address those consequences
  • 00:01:57.007 --> 00:01:58.642
  • Through a reinstatement and reconciliation effort.
  • 00:01:58.642 --> 00:02:01.845
  • But what impact did the decisions
  • 00:02:01.845 --> 00:02:03.514
  • By the biden administration have on recruiting?
  • 00:02:03.514 --> 00:02:06.016
  • What message
  • 00:02:06.016 --> 00:02:07.284
  • Do they send to young americans considering military service?
  • 00:02:07.284 --> 00:02:11.188
  • Well, history looks back on this period.
  • 00:02:11.188 --> 00:02:13.090
  • How will it remember the way america treated
  • 00:02:13.090 --> 00:02:15.025
  • The men and women
  • 00:02:15.025 --> 00:02:16.227
  • Who raised their right hand and volunteered to defend her?
  • 00:02:16.227 --> 00:02:19.830
  • Take a look at what president biden said
  • 00:02:19.830 --> 00:02:21.699
  • At that time on mandatory covid vaccines for the military.
  • 00:02:21.699 --> 00:02:26.003
  • But in addition to providing incentives to encourage
  • 00:02:26.003 --> 00:02:28.105
  • Vaccination, it's time to impose requirements
  • 00:02:28.105 --> 00:02:32.176
  • On key groups to make sure they're vaccinated.
  • 00:02:32.176 --> 00:02:35.079
  • Since many vaccinations
  • 00:02:35.079 --> 00:02:36.513
  • Are required for active duty military today,
  • 00:02:36.513 --> 00:02:39.550
  • I'm asking the defense department to look into how
  • 00:02:39.550 --> 00:02:42.486
  • And when they will add covid 19 to the list of vaccinations
  • 00:02:42.486 --> 00:02:45.456
  • Our armed forces must get.
  • 00:02:45.456 --> 00:02:49.293
  • Well, colonel, i think that's a good place
  • 00:02:49.293 --> 00:02:50.794
  • To begin our discussion.
  • 00:02:50.794 --> 00:02:52.396
  • How did that pronouncement
  • 00:02:52.396 --> 00:02:53.931
  • Affect your life and your military career?
  • 00:02:53.931 --> 00:02:57.334
  • As soon as i saw that, i, like many others, realized
  • 00:02:57.334 --> 00:03:00.604
  • Very quickly
  • 00:03:00.604 --> 00:03:01.639
  • That we were going to have a decision to make,
  • 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.274
  • Because having been at the pentagon prior
  • 00:03:03.274 --> 00:03:06.543
  • To that announcement, being made, i knew that
  • 00:03:06.543 --> 00:03:10.314
  • I had led the interagency effort to help build operation warp
  • 00:03:10.314 --> 00:03:13.951
  • Speed to establish the manning document that was going to then
  • 00:03:13.951 --> 00:03:18.222
  • Get the team in place to make that vaccine.
  • 00:03:18.222 --> 00:03:22.393
  • And we weren't going to have the 8
  • 00:03:22.393 --> 00:03:23.894
  • To 10 years of clinical trials that every other shot
  • 00:03:23.894 --> 00:03:26.764
  • That we had been mandated to get had gone through.
  • 00:03:26.764 --> 00:03:29.433
  • And this was going to be 8 to 10 months at best.
  • 00:03:29.433 --> 00:03:32.069
  • And then we were going to try to rush something
  • 00:03:32.069 --> 00:03:33.804
  • To market to help people that were concerned.
  • 00:03:33.804 --> 00:03:36.273
  • And it was going to be primarily
  • 00:03:36.273 --> 00:03:37.374
  • For people with comorbidities over the age of 70.
  • 00:03:37.374 --> 00:03:40.444
  • So when i saw that they were going to require
  • 00:03:40.444 --> 00:03:43.113
  • A vaccine on a very healthy population,
  • 00:03:43.113 --> 00:03:45.582
  • That wasn't the original target of this particular shot.
  • 00:03:45.582 --> 00:03:49.353
  • I was concerned for a lot of reasons,
  • 00:03:49.353 --> 00:03:51.088
  • But largely because in my own personal journey,
  • 00:03:51.088 --> 00:03:54.058
  • I had had a prior adverse reaction to the flu shot
  • 00:03:54.058 --> 00:03:57.094
  • For which i had a permanent medical exemption.
  • 00:03:57.094 --> 00:04:00.230
  • And in the run up to making the covid shot,
  • 00:04:00.230 --> 00:04:03.467
  • There was a discussion about these shots
  • 00:04:03.467 --> 00:04:06.103
  • Not being for people who had had prior
  • 00:04:06.103 --> 00:04:08.105
  • Adverse reactions to the covid to to any immunization.
  • 00:04:08.105 --> 00:04:11.842
  • So i immediately thought, well, even if there is a mandate,
  • 00:04:11.842 --> 00:04:15.746
  • It's not going to apply to me
  • 00:04:15.746 --> 00:04:16.947
  • Because of my prior history with adverse reaction.
  • 00:04:16.947 --> 00:04:20.017
  • But we throughout the administration
  • 00:04:20.017 --> 00:04:22.286
  • Had thrown out all of the previous rules,
  • 00:04:22.286 --> 00:04:24.121
  • Regulations, frankly, literally regulations
  • 00:04:24.121 --> 00:04:26.423
  • That say if you have a infection,
  • 00:04:26.423 --> 00:04:29.593
  • Then you have natural immunity, which doctor fauci
  • 00:04:29.593 --> 00:04:32.196
  • Had even admitted many times, was the most durable
  • 00:04:32.196 --> 00:04:34.865
  • And long lasting kind of protection
  • 00:04:34.865 --> 00:04:36.800
  • That anybody could have against
  • 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.035
  • A vaccine, against a virus, which is just good science.
  • 00:04:38.035 --> 00:04:40.671
  • Yeah, good natural immunity is the right best,
  • 00:04:40.671 --> 00:04:43.640
  • Most durable protection.
  • 00:04:43.640 --> 00:04:45.075
  • So when i got covid right before the covid mandate
  • 00:04:45.075 --> 00:04:48.979
  • Came out, i thought, well, even if there was a mandate,
  • 00:04:48.979 --> 00:04:52.416
  • I now have had covid.
  • 00:04:52.416 --> 00:04:53.617
  • So i'm going to have natural immunity, durable protection.
  • 00:04:53.617 --> 00:04:56.153
  • But all that was thrown out of the window.
  • 00:04:56.153 --> 00:04:57.821
  • And the long story short was i, like many others,
  • 00:04:57.821 --> 00:05:00.557
  • Were directed to get a shot that was not fda approved
  • 00:05:00.557 --> 00:05:05.028
  • And that was the unlawfully implemented order was
  • 00:05:05.028 --> 00:05:08.332
  • You cannot mandate an fda shot.
  • 00:05:08.332 --> 00:05:11.101
  • The only thing available was an emergency use authorized shot.
  • 00:05:11.101 --> 00:05:14.338
  • So this was an experimental vaccine, and many people
  • 00:05:14.338 --> 00:05:17.875
  • Didn't want to take it for that very reason.
  • 00:05:17.875 --> 00:05:19.510
  • And they were supposed to be
  • 00:05:19.510 --> 00:05:20.444
  • Given informed consent according to the law.
  • 00:05:20.444 --> 00:05:23.147
  • Title ten, u.s.
  • 00:05:23.147 --> 00:05:24.214
  • Code 11 07a states that you may have to be given
  • 00:05:24.214 --> 00:05:28.085
  • Informed consent, which means
  • 00:05:28.085 --> 00:05:29.686
  • Here are the pros here are the cons.
  • 00:05:29.686 --> 00:05:31.855
  • And then you can accept or reject that
  • 00:05:31.855 --> 00:05:33.957
  • Because it's a experimental shot that cannot be mandated
  • 00:05:33.957 --> 00:05:37.394
  • By the federal government.
  • 00:05:37.394 --> 00:05:39.096
  • So it was wrong from the word go.
  • 00:05:39.096 --> 00:05:42.065
  • And it was implemented in an unlawful way.
  • 00:05:42.065 --> 00:05:44.034
  • As secretary hegseth has said repeatedly.
  • 00:05:44.034 --> 00:05:46.336
  • And the president, united states, in his executive
  • 00:05:46.336 --> 00:05:48.172
  • Order, said this was an unnecessary
  • 00:05:48.172 --> 00:05:50.507
  • Overbroad and unjust vaccine mandate.
  • 00:05:50.507 --> 00:05:53.844
  • So your military career came to a screeching halt.
  • 00:05:54.845 --> 00:05:58.048
  • It did.
  • 00:05:58.282 --> 00:05:59.316
  • And i found myself with the decision of being told
  • 00:05:59.316 --> 00:06:02.986
  • My medical exemption, my request
  • 00:06:02.986 --> 00:06:04.555
  • For a medical exemption was denied.
  • 00:06:04.555 --> 00:06:06.490
  • And they said, you either have to get the shot
  • 00:06:06.490 --> 00:06:08.959
  • Or you have to submit a voluntary retirement packet.
  • 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.396
  • Because i had already served
  • 00:06:12.396 --> 00:06:13.997
  • At that point, 26 over 26 years of active federal service.
  • 00:06:13.997 --> 00:06:17.835
  • And i said, well,
  • 00:06:18.268 --> 00:06:19.670
  • Let's be honest with what you're really saying.
  • 00:06:19.670 --> 00:06:21.472
  • You're saying kill myself because i had eight doctors
  • 00:06:21.472 --> 00:06:24.541
  • That had gone
  • 00:06:24.541 --> 00:06:25.809
  • And told me that if i got this shot
  • 00:06:25.809 --> 00:06:27.644
  • Based on my blood tests, that it would
  • 00:06:27.644 --> 00:06:29.546
  • It would be lethal for me,
  • 00:06:29.546 --> 00:06:31.815
  • Or i'm fired because i don't want to retire.
  • 00:06:31.815 --> 00:06:34.151
  • I would like to continue serving.
  • 00:06:34.151 --> 00:06:35.385
  • I'm about to take command
  • 00:06:35.385 --> 00:06:36.353
  • Of a brigade in the united states army.
  • 00:06:36.353 --> 00:06:38.288
  • So my options were to kill myself or get fired.
  • 00:06:38.288 --> 00:06:41.058
  • And i didn't think that that was the right answer.
  • 00:06:41.058 --> 00:06:43.794
  • But that was how i was ushered out with five weeks notice.
  • 00:06:43.794 --> 00:06:46.830
  • And i kicked to the curb after 30 years in uniform.
  • 00:06:46.830 --> 00:06:50.534
  • I want to hear the rest of this story,
  • 00:06:51.301 --> 00:06:53.036
  • But we need to take a short break. okay?
  • 00:06:53.036 --> 00:06:54.805
  • You can hang with us. address, please. yes.
  • 00:06:54.805 --> 00:06:57.341
  • If you happen to have your phone in your hand,
  • 00:06:57.341 --> 00:06:59.276
  • Try logging on to aj now. dot com.
  • 00:06:59.276 --> 00:07:01.411
  • Send me an email.
  • 00:07:01.411 --> 00:07:02.579
  • We want to hear your thoughts on this unfolding drama.
  • 00:07:02.579 --> 00:07:05.382
  • I'm sure you have your own version in your world.
  • 00:07:05.382 --> 00:07:08.151
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:07:08.151 --> 00:07:15.008
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:07:15.008 --> 00:07:20.098
  • We're back now with the chief of reinstatement
  • 00:07:20.999 --> 00:07:23.635
  • And reconciliation task force, colonel kevin boren.
  • 00:07:23.635 --> 00:07:27.438
  • You know, colonel, i'm
  • 00:07:27.906 --> 00:07:28.673
  • Not really overly interested
  • 00:07:28.673 --> 00:07:29.941
  • In relitigating all the covid stuff,
  • 00:07:29.941 --> 00:07:32.544
  • But i'm fond of saying that god is moving in the earth,
  • 00:07:32.544 --> 00:07:36.014
  • And there's a god story in this.
  • 00:07:36.014 --> 00:07:37.549
  • Yes. that isn't just personal with you, although that is that.
  • 00:07:37.549 --> 00:07:40.718
  • But it really affects our whole military and even beyond that.
  • 00:07:40.718 --> 00:07:44.455
  • So that's where i'm headed. okay.
  • 00:07:44.455 --> 00:07:46.324
  • But when we stepped out of this, you you had been
  • 00:07:46.324 --> 00:07:49.961
  • Volun told to leave the military
  • 00:07:49.961 --> 00:07:52.964
  • And end a lengthy, celebrated career.
  • 00:07:52.964 --> 00:07:56.067
  • And then donald j.
  • 00:07:56.067 --> 00:07:58.002
  • Trump is elected to be the 47th president.
  • 00:07:58.002 --> 00:08:01.573
  • And some of us heard on inauguration day,
  • 00:08:01.573 --> 00:08:03.308
  • Him saying that he was ordering the reinstatement of those
  • 00:08:03.308 --> 00:08:06.244
  • Who were removed because of covid vaccines in the military.
  • 00:08:06.244 --> 00:08:10.048
  • Yes. so next day you're back at your post.
  • 00:08:10.048 --> 00:08:13.518
  • No problems in that.
  • 00:08:13.518 --> 00:08:14.986
  • That's how government works. i'm positive that it was so easy.
  • 00:08:14.986 --> 00:08:19.157
  • How many?
  • 00:08:19.457 --> 00:08:19.891
  • How many people?
  • 00:08:19.891 --> 00:08:21.159
  • I'm sure you don't have an exact number,
  • 00:08:21.159 --> 00:08:23.027
  • But how many people, roughly do we imagine
  • 00:08:23.027 --> 00:08:25.496
  • Stepped out of the military because of covid vaccines?
  • 00:08:25.496 --> 00:08:27.899
  • The numbers we're looking at
  • 00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:29.000
  • Is somewhere around 100,000 based off.
  • 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.536
  • And that's across all the
  • 00:08:31.536 --> 00:08:32.604
  • Services, all the components active guard, reserve,
  • 00:08:32.604 --> 00:08:35.073
  • Army, navy, air force, marine, space force, coast guard,
  • 00:08:35.073 --> 00:08:38.309
  • About 100,000 troops left because of this.
  • 00:08:38.309 --> 00:08:40.878
  • Okay. so president trump makes his executive order.
  • 00:08:40.878 --> 00:08:43.314
  • And then a few weeks later, secretary
  • 00:08:43.314 --> 00:08:44.816
  • Hegseth adds his authority to support that.
  • 00:08:44.816 --> 00:08:48.753
  • So tell us now what your assignment is.
  • 00:08:48.753 --> 00:08:50.655
  • Yeah.
  • 00:08:50.655 --> 00:08:51.823
  • So, secretary haig stuff signed on february 6th of 2025.
  • 00:08:51.823 --> 00:08:54.559
  • He said, i'm directing the department
  • 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.160
  • To rapidly reinstate those who were separated for
  • 00:08:56.160 --> 00:08:59.197
  • This unjust, unnecessary, and overbroad mandate.
  • 00:08:59.197 --> 00:09:02.800
  • And it took almost eight months before i was reinstated
  • 00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:07.105
  • As the first one to come back in
  • 00:09:07.105 --> 00:09:09.707
  • Under the president's executive order.
  • 00:09:09.707 --> 00:09:11.342
  • So in october,
  • 00:09:11.342 --> 00:09:12.610
  • I was sworn in by secretary hegseth,
  • 00:09:12.610 --> 00:09:14.379
  • Very honored by this opportunity.
  • 00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:17.015
  • A story that only god could write,
  • 00:09:17.015 --> 00:09:18.383
  • Frankly, as you were saying.
  • 00:09:18.383 --> 00:09:19.517
  • I mean, it's amazing to see how
  • 00:09:19.517 --> 00:09:21.185
  • What the enemy meant for evil god was going to use for good.
  • 00:09:21.185 --> 00:09:24.055
  • And he took the time that i was separated
  • 00:09:24.055 --> 00:09:27.025
  • To restore a lot of things, not only in my family
  • 00:09:27.025 --> 00:09:30.161
  • And in my personal life, but then also preparing
  • 00:09:30.161 --> 00:09:32.964
  • And laying the groundwork for what is now happening,
  • 00:09:32.964 --> 00:09:35.800
  • Where the president said, i want this to happen.
  • 00:09:35.800 --> 00:09:38.403
  • And we stood up a task force.
  • 00:09:38.403 --> 00:09:40.271
  • So i came in in october.
  • 00:09:40.271 --> 00:09:41.472
  • It took me about 90 days to get the task force,
  • 00:09:41.472 --> 00:09:44.275
  • Manned and on board.
  • 00:09:44.275 --> 00:09:45.510
  • So in january of this year, 2026,
  • 00:09:45.510 --> 00:09:48.346
  • We were able to, in earnest, start doing these reinstatement.
  • 00:09:48.346 --> 00:09:51.749
  • And we are now reaching out to as many of these
  • 00:09:51.749 --> 00:09:55.887
  • Separated soldiers as we can, service
  • 00:09:55.887 --> 00:09:57.689
  • Members across all the branches
  • 00:09:57.689 --> 00:09:59.791
  • As we can to to see if they would be interested
  • 00:09:59.791 --> 00:10:02.460
  • In coming back in and giving an opportunity
  • 00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:04.529
  • For us to regain their trust.
  • 00:10:04.529 --> 00:10:06.364
  • And let's not forget
  • 00:10:06.364 --> 00:10:07.832
  • That was the biggest problem with all
  • 00:10:07.832 --> 00:10:09.333
  • This was the destruction of trust.
  • 00:10:09.333 --> 00:10:12.203
  • So our task force really exists with the vision
  • 00:10:12.203 --> 00:10:15.440
  • Of restoring trust to our military.
  • 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.875
  • Because this was a big breach of trust,
  • 00:10:17.875 --> 00:10:19.577
  • And we want them to see that,
  • 00:10:19.577 --> 00:10:21.145
  • Hey, we're going to bring you back in.
  • 00:10:21.145 --> 00:10:22.447
  • And as president trump said to with full back pay,
  • 00:10:22.447 --> 00:10:25.283
  • With promotions, in many cases a duty station of choice,
  • 00:10:25.283 --> 00:10:28.753
  • The specialty that they want to go into
  • 00:10:28.753 --> 00:10:30.655
  • As long as they qualify for those specialties.
  • 00:10:30.655 --> 00:10:32.523
  • And we've got a bunch of stories of really, really neat
  • 00:10:32.523 --> 00:10:35.793
  • Testimonies of how god has taken those years
  • 00:10:35.793 --> 00:10:39.197
  • And is now restored, people's careers restored, their lives,
  • 00:10:39.197 --> 00:10:42.033
  • Their livelihood, their families.
  • 00:10:42.033 --> 00:10:43.835
  • And it's it's an amazing job.
  • 00:10:43.835 --> 00:10:45.770
  • It's actually the most rewarding job i've ever had in uniform.
  • 00:10:45.770 --> 00:10:48.773
  • I would imagine as you start to reach out to these folks
  • 00:10:48.773 --> 00:10:51.109
  • That there's a little bit of a mixed bag.
  • 00:10:51.109 --> 00:10:52.877
  • Yeah, because that kind of wound doesn't go away easily.
  • 00:10:52.877 --> 00:10:55.179
  • Right?
  • 00:10:55.179 --> 00:10:56.047
  • So are you getting a positive response?
  • 00:10:56.047 --> 00:10:58.015
  • You encourage the what you're hearing?
  • 00:10:58.015 --> 00:10:59.517
  • Yeah.
  • 00:10:59.517 --> 00:11:00.451
  • This is why we named it the reinstatement
  • 00:11:00.451 --> 00:11:02.120
  • And reconciliation task force, because we know that with this
  • 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.957
  • Level of breach of trust, there are rightly
  • 00:11:05.957 --> 00:11:08.993
  • So many people who are demanding accountability.
  • 00:11:08.993 --> 00:11:12.063
  • They say, listen,
  • 00:11:12.063 --> 00:11:12.997
  • This was an unlawfully implemented order
  • 00:11:12.997 --> 00:11:15.099
  • And people should be held accountable for that.
  • 00:11:15.099 --> 00:11:17.034
  • I mean, we do raise our right hand
  • 00:11:17.034 --> 00:11:19.003
  • To take an oath to support and defend the constitution
  • 00:11:19.003 --> 00:11:21.205
  • Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
  • 00:11:21.205 --> 00:11:23.040
  • And that means we uphold the laws
  • 00:11:23.040 --> 00:11:25.409
  • That are passed in our land.
  • 00:11:25.409 --> 00:11:26.911
  • And laws were violated here.
  • 00:11:26.911 --> 00:11:28.813
  • And so there are a lot of people who were kicked out that say,
  • 00:11:28.813 --> 00:11:31.115
  • Listen,
  • 00:11:31.115 --> 00:11:31.983
  • I'm not going to go back to my abuser
  • 00:11:31.983 --> 00:11:33.718
  • Until i see people held accountable.
  • 00:11:33.718 --> 00:11:35.553
  • We completely understand that.
  • 00:11:35.553 --> 00:11:37.488
  • And that's why
  • 00:11:37.488 --> 00:11:38.623
  • On the reconciliation side of things, we say, listen,
  • 00:11:38.623 --> 00:11:40.825
  • If you don't want to come back
  • 00:11:40.825 --> 00:11:41.793
  • In, we at least want to fix your records.
  • 00:11:41.793 --> 00:11:43.795
  • Many were were discharged
  • 00:11:43.795 --> 00:11:45.296
  • With something other than an honorable discharge.
  • 00:11:45.296 --> 00:11:47.632
  • So we want to restore their records,
  • 00:11:47.632 --> 00:11:49.233
  • Upgrade their discharge so they can earn the va benefits
  • 00:11:49.233 --> 00:11:53.204
  • And the different veterans benefits
  • 00:11:53.204 --> 00:11:54.472
  • That they are entitled to that they earned with their service.
  • 00:11:54.472 --> 00:11:57.508
  • We want to restore those to them.
  • 00:11:57.508 --> 00:11:59.277
  • And then for those who do want to reinstate,
  • 00:11:59.277 --> 00:12:01.245
  • That's the reinstatement piece. and we'll bring you back in.
  • 00:12:01.245 --> 00:12:03.681
  • And we're going to do that in a way with honors
  • 00:12:03.681 --> 00:12:06.083
  • And in a way that helps them get on a good career trajectory
  • 00:12:06.083 --> 00:12:09.220
  • So they can get back in and be competitive,
  • 00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:11.389
  • To have a future in the military and i would tell you the most,
  • 00:12:11.389 --> 00:12:15.293
  • Probably the most important part of what i do
  • 00:12:15.293 --> 00:12:17.195
  • When i make the phone calls to these warriors of conscience,
  • 00:12:17.195 --> 00:12:19.931
  • That's the term secretary hegseth uses to refer
  • 00:12:19.931 --> 00:12:22.800
  • To all of those who were kicked out
  • 00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:24.535
  • Or left to service warriors of conscience.
  • 00:12:24.535 --> 00:12:26.571
  • When we call our warriors,
  • 00:12:26.571 --> 00:12:28.806
  • I tell them, i say, listen, we can do a lot for you.
  • 00:12:28.806 --> 00:12:31.509
  • The back pay, the promotions, the duty station of choice.
  • 00:12:31.509 --> 00:12:35.346
  • And we can help restore a lot with your career.
  • 00:12:35.346 --> 00:12:37.782
  • But please, you need to hear me.
  • 00:12:37.782 --> 00:12:40.418
  • The the place that i have found the most healing
  • 00:12:40.418 --> 00:12:43.688
  • And the most hope in my own personal journey
  • 00:12:43.688 --> 00:12:46.524
  • Is in a personal relationship with jesus christ.
  • 00:12:46.524 --> 00:12:49.126
  • And i want you to know that the greatest reconciliation
  • 00:12:49.126 --> 00:12:52.296
  • That you can ever receive is to be reconciled to god
  • 00:12:52.296 --> 00:12:56.234
  • Through a relationship with jesus christ.
  • 00:12:56.234 --> 00:12:58.102
  • And if you want to know more about that, i'm happy
  • 00:12:58.102 --> 00:12:59.770
  • To share that with you, because i want them to know
  • 00:12:59.770 --> 00:13:01.672
  • That this is all great what we're doing.
  • 00:13:01.672 --> 00:13:03.774
  • It's an important and it's necessary.
  • 00:13:03.774 --> 00:13:06.043
  • But to what end?
  • 00:13:06.043 --> 00:13:07.645
  • You know, it says in luke 923, what does it profit a man
  • 00:13:07.645 --> 00:13:10.381
  • If he gains the whole world and yet loses his soul?
  • 00:13:10.381 --> 00:13:13.084
  • So i don't want these troops who were separated to think
  • 00:13:13.084 --> 00:13:16.587
  • That the true healing
  • 00:13:16.587 --> 00:13:18.522
  • And the hope that they're going to have in
  • 00:13:18.522 --> 00:13:19.690
  • Their life is to have rank back, or to have a job back,
  • 00:13:19.690 --> 00:13:22.827
  • It's actually to be reconciled to god.
  • 00:13:22.827 --> 00:13:25.029
  • And i believe that's through a personal relationship
  • 00:13:25.029 --> 00:13:27.331
  • With jesus christ.
  • 00:13:27.331 --> 00:13:28.366
  • And then i offer to pray with them.
  • 00:13:28.366 --> 00:13:29.800
  • And and every single one of them
  • 00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:31.068
  • Takes me up on the offer to pray with them.
  • 00:13:31.068 --> 00:13:32.904
  • And it's it's a lot of healing, a lot of tears.
  • 00:13:32.904 --> 00:13:35.506
  • And the way i describe it is as if god takes my words
  • 00:13:35.506 --> 00:13:39.710
  • And turns them into a supernatural salve
  • 00:13:39.710 --> 00:13:42.413
  • That heals a wounded heart,
  • 00:13:42.413 --> 00:13:44.248
  • And that's the healing that you're talking about.
  • 00:13:44.248 --> 00:13:45.917
  • So you can have this conversation, this faith,
  • 00:13:45.917 --> 00:13:47.818
  • Faith based conversation
  • 00:13:47.818 --> 00:13:49.921
  • In the context of your military service,
  • 00:13:49.921 --> 00:13:51.856
  • With the blessing of your superiors.
  • 00:13:51.856 --> 00:13:53.925
  • Yes. and here's why.
  • 00:13:54.392 --> 00:13:55.693
  • It's also
  • 00:13:55.693 --> 00:13:56.861
  • Because i'm sharing this from my own personal experience,
  • 00:13:56.861 --> 00:13:59.363
  • From my heart, and how i have found hope and restoration.
  • 00:13:59.363 --> 00:14:03.234
  • And we've got an administration that says, listen,
  • 00:14:03.234 --> 00:14:06.237
  • We celebrate faith.
  • 00:14:06.237 --> 00:14:07.672
  • We don't think that faith is something that
  • 00:14:07.672 --> 00:14:09.774
  • You have to check at the door when you come in the military,
  • 00:14:09.774 --> 00:14:11.909
  • In fact, the constitution that we take an oath to uphold
  • 00:14:11.909 --> 00:14:15.546
  • Has our first freedom embedded in it.
  • 00:14:15.546 --> 00:14:18.416
  • And that's that freedom to worship,
  • 00:14:18.416 --> 00:14:19.984
  • The freedom of religion.
  • 00:14:19.984 --> 00:14:21.319
  • And so we want them to know
  • 00:14:21.319 --> 00:14:22.820
  • That you don't have to check that at the door.
  • 00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:24.322
  • This is something that you can embrace,
  • 00:14:24.322 --> 00:14:26.123
  • And i don't i don't force it on anybody else.
  • 00:14:26.123 --> 00:14:28.526
  • And i tell them
  • 00:14:28.526 --> 00:14:29.126
  • They don't have to worry
  • 00:14:29.126 --> 00:14:29.660
  • About me
  • 00:14:29.660 --> 00:14:30.594
  • Trying to force my faith on them, because
  • 00:14:30.594 --> 00:14:32.063
  • I can't change their heart.
  • 00:14:32.063 --> 00:14:33.531
  • Only god can do that.
  • 00:14:33.531 --> 00:14:34.865
  • But i'm responsible to tell them how my heart was changed.
  • 00:14:34.865 --> 00:14:38.836
  • And i want them to know that this is something
  • 00:14:38.836 --> 00:14:40.404
  • That's available to them. if they'll surrender.
  • 00:14:40.404 --> 00:14:43.374
  • That is awesome.
  • 00:14:43.374 --> 00:14:44.475
  • We need to take another short break,
  • 00:14:44.475 --> 00:14:46.510
  • But we'll be right back with the rest of this story
  • 00:14:46.510 --> 00:14:49.013
  • In just a moment.
  • 00:14:49.013 --> 00:14:56.001
  • In just a moment.
  • 00:14:56.001 --> 00:15:00.658
  • We're back now with the chief of reinstatement
  • 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:03.995
  • And the reconciliation task force, colonel kevin moran.
  • 00:15:03.995 --> 00:15:07.932
  • You know, colonel, i'm listening to you
  • 00:15:07.932 --> 00:15:09.433
  • With this narrative that's unfolding, and
  • 00:15:09.433 --> 00:15:12.336
  • I'm kind of wandering back to the previous administration
  • 00:15:12.336 --> 00:15:15.139
  • And the, from a distance, the view we had on the military,
  • 00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:18.209
  • You know, we had the shameful withdrawal
  • 00:15:18.209 --> 00:15:19.910
  • From afghanistan and that breach of trust
  • 00:15:19.910 --> 00:15:22.680
  • With thousands and thousands of people.
  • 00:15:22.680 --> 00:15:25.149
  • And then we have the advent of the covid vaccine mandates
  • 00:15:25.149 --> 00:15:28.586
  • And this exit of thousands and thousands of our warriors.
  • 00:15:28.586 --> 00:15:31.889
  • There had to have been a been a low ebb in the military
  • 00:15:33.024 --> 00:15:35.926
  • At that point.
  • 00:15:35.926 --> 00:15:37.028
  • I mean, from emotion, i know recruitment numbers.
  • 00:15:37.028 --> 00:15:38.429
  • You're you were the chief recruiter
  • 00:15:38.429 --> 00:15:40.965
  • And it was a tough season
  • 00:15:40.965 --> 00:15:41.999
  • To be trying to win people into the army. there.
  • 00:15:41.999 --> 00:15:43.834
  • They were promoting die lgbtq.
  • 00:15:43.834 --> 00:15:47.471
  • They were distancing themselves from biblical worldview as
  • 00:15:47.471 --> 00:15:49.907
  • As much as they could.
  • 00:15:49.907 --> 00:15:52.643
  • And then we have a new administration,
  • 00:15:53.477 --> 00:15:55.880
  • And there's a whole new tone from inauguration day forward.
  • 00:15:55.880 --> 00:15:59.917
  • So maybe it can tell us the difference
  • 00:15:59.917 --> 00:16:01.919
  • In recruiting to the military
  • 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:03.154
  • In the previous administration and recruiting today.
  • 00:16:03.154 --> 00:16:05.656
  • Well, in 2022, as i was being kicked out
  • 00:16:05.656 --> 00:16:08.893
  • And arguably
  • 00:16:08.893 --> 00:16:09.794
  • One of the most experienced recruiters
  • 00:16:09.794 --> 00:16:11.028
  • In the entire united states army,
  • 00:16:11.028 --> 00:16:14.131
  • We were in the worst recruiting crisis
  • 00:16:14.131 --> 00:16:16.133
  • In the 50 year history of the all volunteer force.
  • 00:16:16.133 --> 00:16:20.171
  • So it makes sense to kick out
  • 00:16:20.805 --> 00:16:22.106
  • One of your most
  • 00:16:22.106 --> 00:16:23.174
  • Experienced recruiters when you're in that crisis.
  • 00:16:23.174 --> 00:16:26.077
  • Well, that's what happened.
  • 00:16:26.077 --> 00:16:27.778
  • And we were we had gotten away from warfighting.
  • 00:16:27.778 --> 00:16:31.048
  • Our focus was getting on to a lot of things
  • 00:16:31.048 --> 00:16:33.284
  • That had nothing to do with warfighting, which our mission
  • 00:16:33.284 --> 00:16:37.021
  • As a military is to fight and win our nation's wars.
  • 00:16:37.021 --> 00:16:39.690
  • Amen.
  • 00:16:39.690 --> 00:16:40.191
  • When called upon,
  • 00:16:40.191 --> 00:16:41.425
  • We hate war more than anybody because we're the ones who go,
  • 00:16:41.425 --> 00:16:44.395
  • And we suffer the most in those wars,
  • 00:16:44.395 --> 00:16:47.598
  • And we see our comrades around us suffering.
  • 00:16:47.598 --> 00:16:50.568
  • So we don't want to go to war, but we know.
  • 00:16:50.568 --> 00:16:52.770
  • And this is what you hear.
  • 00:16:52.770 --> 00:16:53.604
  • Secretary haig,
  • 00:16:53.604 --> 00:16:54.438
  • Often referred to as
  • 00:16:54.438 --> 00:16:55.573
  • We are the strength and of peace through strength.
  • 00:16:55.573 --> 00:16:58.642
  • So you have a really strong military so
  • 00:16:58.642 --> 00:17:00.578
  • That you don't have to use it.
  • 00:17:00.578 --> 00:17:02.146
  • This is the ronald reagan idea of walk, speak softly
  • 00:17:02.146 --> 00:17:05.516
  • And carry a big stick.
  • 00:17:05.516 --> 00:17:06.984
  • So that's what we need to get back to.
  • 00:17:06.984 --> 00:17:09.887
  • And we weren't doing that.
  • 00:17:09.887 --> 00:17:10.821
  • So now
  • 00:17:10.821 --> 00:17:11.956
  • Under this administration,
  • 00:17:11.956 --> 00:17:13.424
  • The focus and i've served under seven administrations.
  • 00:17:13.424 --> 00:17:15.626
  • I came in in 1992 right out of high school
  • 00:17:15.626 --> 00:17:18.462
  • And under seven administrations.
  • 00:17:18.462 --> 00:17:19.964
  • I've seen a warfighting focus like i've never seen.
  • 00:17:19.964 --> 00:17:23.234
  • And i remember just one anecdote.
  • 00:17:23.234 --> 00:17:25.569
  • I remember so long in my career leading up to,
  • 00:17:25.569 --> 00:17:29.907
  • 20, about 2015, 2016,
  • 00:17:29.907 --> 00:17:33.277
  • We were told to treat everyone with dignity and respect.
  • 00:17:33.277 --> 00:17:37.248
  • And what that meant was if a young man came to me
  • 00:17:37.248 --> 00:17:40.484
  • And said that he felt like he was a woman,
  • 00:17:40.484 --> 00:17:43.554
  • Treating that man with dignity and respect would be
  • 00:17:43.554 --> 00:17:45.823
  • To take him to mental health so he could get some help
  • 00:17:45.823 --> 00:17:48.893
  • And get taken care of so he can understand
  • 00:17:48.893 --> 00:17:52.229
  • That he's he is a man, not a woman.
  • 00:17:52.229 --> 00:17:54.331
  • But then it shifted.
  • 00:17:54.331 --> 00:17:55.766
  • And when the obama administration had come
  • 00:17:55.766 --> 00:17:57.768
  • In, it was treating with dignity and respect,
  • 00:17:57.768 --> 00:17:59.770
  • As if the man comes to me and says, i'm a woman.
  • 00:17:59.770 --> 00:18:01.472
  • I'm supposed to cheer and celebrate that and affirm it.
  • 00:18:01.472 --> 00:18:05.142
  • And it's just this cognitive dissonance in your brain
  • 00:18:05.142 --> 00:18:07.745
  • Because you're thinking, well, we're a warfighting organization
  • 00:18:07.745 --> 00:18:10.281
  • And we we have very clear lines of what we expect
  • 00:18:10.281 --> 00:18:15.553
  • From people, and this is not what we're expecting.
  • 00:18:15.553 --> 00:18:18.756
  • And so when we have cases like that, we're supposed to,
  • 00:18:18.756 --> 00:18:21.492
  • You know, give them the proper treatment
  • 00:18:21.492 --> 00:18:23.394
  • And treating everybody still with dignity and respect.
  • 00:18:23.394 --> 00:18:25.729
  • But we changed what that meant.
  • 00:18:25.729 --> 00:18:26.997
  • So that's
  • 00:18:26.997 --> 00:18:28.232
  • That's a big contrast in what the previous administration,
  • 00:18:28.232 --> 00:18:31.101
  • How things were operating versus the current administration.
  • 00:18:31.101 --> 00:18:33.404
  • And remember, we're apolitical as a military.
  • 00:18:33.404 --> 00:18:36.006
  • We serve whoever is the authority.
  • 00:18:36.006 --> 00:18:38.842
  • This is under the constitution,
  • 00:18:38.842 --> 00:18:40.211
  • And they're supposed to give us lawful orders,
  • 00:18:40.211 --> 00:18:42.112
  • And then we execute those lawful orders.
  • 00:18:42.112 --> 00:18:44.381
  • And this was a order that was being given the covid shot.
  • 00:18:44.381 --> 00:18:47.651
  • That was an unlawful order,
  • 00:18:47.651 --> 00:18:49.420
  • Because we were being told to take a shot
  • 00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:51.822
  • That was not fda approved, which you cannot mandate.
  • 00:18:51.822 --> 00:18:55.326
  • So that was the big shift
  • 00:18:55.326 --> 00:18:57.294
  • That then caused a lot of people to open their eyes
  • 00:18:57.294 --> 00:18:59.563
  • And say, well, what else is going on here?
  • 00:18:59.563 --> 00:19:01.498
  • Because this seems really odd.
  • 00:19:01.498 --> 00:19:02.967
  • I thought we were supposed to follow the science
  • 00:19:02.967 --> 00:19:05.002
  • And we're abandoning the science,
  • 00:19:05.002 --> 00:19:06.403
  • And i thought we were supposed
  • 00:19:06.403 --> 00:19:07.471
  • To follow the law and we're abandoning the law.
  • 00:19:07.471 --> 00:19:09.406
  • So there were a lot of right righteous concerns for that.
  • 00:19:09.406 --> 00:19:12.076
  • And then even just the religious discrimination
  • 00:19:12.076 --> 00:19:14.245
  • That was happening, because people had a problem
  • 00:19:14.245 --> 00:19:16.447
  • With the fact that aborted fetal cells were being used
  • 00:19:16.447 --> 00:19:18.849
  • In the development of the vaccine,
  • 00:19:18.849 --> 00:19:20.851
  • And they didn't want to take that
  • 00:19:20.851 --> 00:19:22.052
  • Because it went against their against their conscience.
  • 00:19:22.052 --> 00:19:24.321
  • And it caused a lot of people to ask questions
  • 00:19:24.321 --> 00:19:26.023
  • That they hadn't previously asked.
  • 00:19:26.023 --> 00:19:27.825
  • But there is a radically new environment
  • 00:19:27.825 --> 00:19:30.060
  • In the military today.
  • 00:19:30.060 --> 00:19:31.295
  • There is your your, engagement numbers are through the roof.
  • 00:19:31.295 --> 00:19:35.099
  • Yes. recruiting is off the charts
  • 00:19:35.099 --> 00:19:37.067
  • Best we've had in 15, 20 years now.
  • 00:19:37.067 --> 00:19:39.837
  • And it's just incredible to see the excitement,
  • 00:19:39.837 --> 00:19:42.539
  • To come back into the ranks, to get after what
  • 00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:45.342
  • We signed up to do, and that is to go fight
  • 00:19:45.342 --> 00:19:47.444
  • And win our nation's wars if called upon.
  • 00:19:47.444 --> 00:19:49.146
  • And the secretary of war is using the name of jesus
  • 00:19:49.146 --> 00:19:52.116
  • In prayers in public, i'm sure he's doing it in private.
  • 00:19:52.116 --> 00:19:55.119
  • He does.
  • 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:55.753
  • And you know what?
  • 00:19:55.753 --> 00:19:56.954
  • This is the celebration of the freedom of religion, right?
  • 00:19:56.954 --> 00:19:59.890
  • So in the pentagon, we have a monthly
  • 00:19:59.890 --> 00:20:01.759
  • Secretary of war christian prayer meeting.
  • 00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.827
  • And it is a joy to be able to gather with other believers
  • 00:20:03.827 --> 00:20:06.630
  • And other faiths have the same opportunity.
  • 00:20:06.630 --> 00:20:08.832
  • They can go do that.
  • 00:20:08.832 --> 00:20:09.667
  • But the secretary himself
  • 00:20:09.667 --> 00:20:11.268
  • Is a christian, so he wants to celebrate his faith.
  • 00:20:11.268 --> 00:20:14.171
  • And so he's doing that and making a space
  • 00:20:14.171 --> 00:20:16.573
  • For people who want to do that, to come and celebrate.
  • 00:20:16.573 --> 00:20:18.509
  • And we gather in the pentagon auditorium once a month,
  • 00:20:18.509 --> 00:20:21.345
  • And it's a wonderful time of worship, prayer, and fellowship.
  • 00:20:21.345 --> 00:20:24.581
  • That is amazing.
  • 00:20:24.982 --> 00:20:26.016
  • So is it safe to say that the morale in the u.s.
  • 00:20:26.016 --> 00:20:28.619
  • Military is on the uptick?
  • 00:20:28.619 --> 00:20:31.121
  • I've not seen it higher
  • 00:20:31.121 --> 00:20:33.190
  • Than i see it right now.
  • 00:20:33.724 --> 00:20:34.758
  • And, you know, i,
  • 00:20:34.758 --> 00:20:36.927
  • At the end of the day, i try to give god credit wherever i can,
  • 00:20:36.927 --> 00:20:40.631
  • And i can't imagine anyone other than god
  • 00:20:40.631 --> 00:20:42.599
  • That could have brought about that kind of a change
  • 00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:45.035
  • In the u.s.
  • 00:20:45.035 --> 00:20:45.936
  • Military in that short period of time.
  • 00:20:45.936 --> 00:20:48.339
  • No, i don't see how it could ever happen.
  • 00:20:48.339 --> 00:20:51.475
  • Apart from the sovereign hand of god.
  • 00:20:51.475 --> 00:20:53.444
  • And i will tell you that even i really want to share this one
  • 00:20:53.444 --> 00:20:57.414
  • Short story about my father.
  • 00:20:57.414 --> 00:20:59.216
  • So my dad's a music pastor, went to be with the lord,
  • 00:20:59.216 --> 00:21:02.419
  • And my my first five months out of the army
  • 00:21:02.419 --> 00:21:05.989
  • Were my dad's last five months on this earth.
  • 00:21:05.989 --> 00:21:08.192
  • We didn't know that he was battling with, terminal cancer.
  • 00:21:08.192 --> 00:21:11.595
  • And i got more time with my dad and those five months
  • 00:21:11.595 --> 00:21:14.865
  • Than i did the previous five years combined.
  • 00:21:14.865 --> 00:21:16.734
  • And so i share that because it's a testimony
  • 00:21:16.734 --> 00:21:19.837
  • Of how god takes, again, what the enemy means for evil.
  • 00:21:19.837 --> 00:21:22.973
  • And with me being ushered out of the military, not only did
  • 00:21:22.973 --> 00:21:26.677
  • I have no plan for what i was going to do
  • 00:21:26.677 --> 00:21:28.445
  • After the army, but god provided a job for me
  • 00:21:28.445 --> 00:21:31.081
  • Literally the first day out of the army
  • 00:21:31.081 --> 00:21:33.150
  • In the film industry,
  • 00:21:33.150 --> 00:21:34.551
  • And i got to spend time with my mother
  • 00:21:34.551 --> 00:21:36.353
  • And father, and specifically with my dad
  • 00:21:36.353 --> 00:21:38.489
  • In his final months on this earth.
  • 00:21:38.489 --> 00:21:40.391
  • And that is a testimony
  • 00:21:40.391 --> 00:21:41.959
  • That i hear over and over and over again
  • 00:21:41.959 --> 00:21:43.694
  • From people who tell me how god brought beauty
  • 00:21:43.694 --> 00:21:45.996
  • Out of the ashes in their life.
  • 00:21:45.996 --> 00:21:47.498
  • It's such a joy to serve a sovereign god who does things
  • 00:21:47.498 --> 00:21:51.568
  • Exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ask or think.
  • 00:21:51.568 --> 00:21:54.738
  • You are an amazing bright
  • 00:21:55.305 --> 00:21:56.974
  • Light in the midst of this unfolding story. thank you.
