There are times when I have the opportunity to sit down with some extraordinary men and am routinely humbled by their stories. This was absolutely one of those times. Mike Day is a retired Navy SEAL who was shot 27 times on one mission, and managed to kill the 4 insurgents who shot him, then walked himself to the medical helicopter. This is one of the most remarkable stories I've been honored to be told first hand, and one that I know you guys will appreciate.

All while they praise woke “protesting” Antifa and BLM blobs of human excrement who beat innocent people to a pulp. Just remember........these are the type of guys who are gonna square things up very soon if it continues!

Robert Olguin What is your point? You think if there’s a breakdown of civil order these guys are gonna sit back and watch? And don’t kid yourself, when they took out UBL, they lamented that the negative was they probably had secured Obama’s re-election. Other than maybe the sycophantic McRaven, they were not happy about that. They’ll follow orders, but if a civil conflict over the douchbag behavior of the left happens, and the left are the ones promising it if Trump is re-elected, you know which side they’ll come down on.

But instead I saw this episode in my feed and I decided to come here and pay my respects. His story is amazing! And he will always be remembered from this interview, the interview with his Shawn Ryan, and all the other ones he did. May he rest in peace with God.

I was one of the Dr.’s at NNMC Bethesda when he came in. I was always humbled to treat these men whether at NNMC or WRAMC(now closed due to BRAC). I can honestly say whenever a code blue was called on any warrior at NNMC Bethesda or WRAMC, as a Doctor I ran at a dead sprint and fought at their bedside or the head of their bed in the operating room with everything I had to save these honorable warriors. My peers also gave everything they had. I was infected from a casualty while fighting to stop a common carotid bleed at the bedside of one gravely wounded warrior after the clot on his right main carotid artery gave way while the Surgical ICU nurse was changing his dressing. I didn’t have time to put on me PPE or he would have exsanguinated in the SICU. The infection made me severely septic, I nearly died and I nearly lost 19 feet of small intestine. Since then I have nearly died 5 times, suffered a heart attack, liver and kidney failure AND I wasn’t shot 27 times and still fighting with just a sidearm against two rifle armed cowards!!! I was just fighting to stop a potentially fatal bleed. Even though my life has changed and I can no longer work as a Doctor, it was worth it because the young man/warrior lived. This senior NCO SEAL deserves the gratitude of ALL Americans!! As do ALL the families of those who died, and those who were wounded and fought for our country!!! I worked for nearly ten years to save the lives of the gravely wounded and I CAN’T say enough positive good things about these men! Though the words are hollow after all you have been through, I thank you Chief for your service and wish you Godspeed and the best life has to offer you-YOU HAVE EARNED IT! Still haunted by the deaths of hero’s we couldn’t save.

And I 100% understand why. This man made it through so much in his 50 years of life so far. I genuinely hope he’s able to find some inner peace, enjoy his children, family, dog, friends and lives another 50 years! There’s no doubt I’ll be buying his book and supporting him as best I can.

@brandonmay8096 3 жыл бұрын

And this was a tough one. Not because of Mike Day himself but because you can see, hear, and feel the emotions. Yet, he has so much self control and is so humble. Ritland was able to guide the conversation masterfully. They both deserve the utmost respect.

I forth that! 🤣 The reason we are all safe and have a good life is from men like you guys who put up with so much shit just to do the right thing and pretty much take the world on yourselves. Mike Day seemed kinda uncomfortable for the first half of the interview...I'm not sure why, maybe it's the camera and mic in his face and being asked to spill his guts on everything he has ever done. But he still seemed overly anxious?! Thanks for defending the Western World and seems like you had a blast doing it!

Being 30 now, I have a much better understanding, but the memories will always be there. Bless you. Mike, it has been a while since I have been so emotionally charged by one of your podcasts. I highly respect you. Thank you for this opportunity to hear his story.

This is truly one of the best interviews on a guy who has been through a lot of shit and it could have only been done by a guy who also has been in the shit and has the compassion and knowledge of what questions to ask. Mr. Day you have given and sacrificed much, most will not fully understand the price you have paid both mentally and physically, thank you Sir. Well done. Good interview boys.

So I'll keep it to myself -- until I ever have the privilege of coming across either one of you. Tremendous interview. So much appreciated and respected.!!! What you two bring in this interview will help many who have struggles, and continue to struggle. PLEASE KEEP THESE PODCASTS GOING. They help!!!
