1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.200
All right, alive on the road
with USA Cares. But his time again

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.400
Thursday, a little after ten am
to talk about cops from Dave Jenny.

3
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:13.640
Two easiest things I do all week
are finding tools and cops that rock.

4
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:21.399
It's true. On Tuesday, off
duty, Metropolis, Illinois police Chief Harry

5
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:26.559
Massey saved a man's life by performing
CPR while at a local pool hall.

6
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.359
The man, who'd undergone heart surgery, collapsed during a pool game. Massy

7
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:36.240
called on the training that he received
through the police department enacted immediately, performing

8
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.640
CPR until paramedics arrived. According to
Massey, the man was taken to the

9
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:46.159
nearest hospital before being transferred to another
healthcare facility. The chief now stressing the

10
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:52.320
importance of learning CPR well. They
later found out that the guy faked it

11
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:57.159
because he was losing a pool competition
or three hundred dollars. He faked a

12
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.759
choking thing and got out of pain. Let's go to Florida. Earlier this

13
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.760
week, sheriff's deputies responded to a
call from a woman who accidentally locked her

14
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.400
one year old daughter in her car
at a Palm Coast walmart. The father

15
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.159
explained that he'd placed the child in
the vehicle, but when he tried to

16
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.760
get in on the other side,
he found the doors were locked with the

17
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:21.760
keys still in the car. Flagler
County Sheriff's Deputy Harrison arrived at the scene

18
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.879
and learned from the parents that the
child had been in the car for about

19
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.760
ten minutes. He noted the kid
was sweating and in distress and decided to

20
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:33.159
break the window to rescue her.
After breaking the window with a small spiked

21
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:37.680
metal ball, Harrison used his baton
to clear the remaining glass and unlock the

22
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:42.760
car and retrieved the crying but unharmed
child. Oh, yes, break the

23
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:48.120
window. Break you can get it
the glass window. You can get an

24
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:49.879
on the window, because if the
kid stays in there too long that he

25
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.280
gets up and then that's what happened
to you. So you were a toddler.

26
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.519
No, they loosed your brain a
little bit, right, Well,

27
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.400
that's doctors recommended it. Yeah,
we at the time, remember that we

28
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.519
had on yesterday with the Anchorage Fire
Department in Middletown. He and I did

29
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.000
an experiment to show exactly what you
did this and we did we did this

30
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.080
with State Trooper Halls as well.
And boy, let me tell you.

31
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.879
How long did you last in there? It was not long. Yeah.

32
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.000
I think we stuck it out for
about five minutes. We were dressing to

33
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.199
sweat. But here's a scary thing. We were so hot it was.

34
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.879
It was a hot August day.
Hot and how human it is. When

35
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.199
we got out of a car,
it felt freezing cold. Yeah, yeah,

36
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.199
yeah. Those those poor babies,
they have no chance. All right.

37
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.319
It's not just cops that rock firemen. Two earlier this week, two

38
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.319
people were rescued after their car plunged
three hundred feet off a cliff in Arizona.

39
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:47.800
Superstition firefighter that's right, Superstition Arizona
offered, no question. I got

40
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:52.319
questions when they rescue somebody in building
from a fire and they got the ladder

41
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.479
up, do any of them have
the balls to walk under the I doubt

42
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:01.120
it. They offered details of the
rescue in a social media post, writing

43
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.759
that one person managed to escape the
vehicle, while the other was trapped in

44
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.479
the overturned car at the bottom of
the canyon until a helicopter arrived. The

45
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:14.319
fire department describes how their crew members
were able to extract both men, provide

46
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.639
medical care, and prepare them for
transport. They were then taken to a

47
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:22.719
local hospital and are reported to be
in stable condition. Authority said these roads

48
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:28.039
are dangerous. It's a beautiful place, easily distracted. Be careful. There's

49
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.120
a gauge in De Soto Rescue.
All right, it's cop rocks. Stave

50
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:37.000
Jenny, One quick, one more. Yea. The police officer that responded

51
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.159
to my fender bender the other day
when above and beyond I had a tow

52
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.439
truck on the way, he saw
that the car was still drivable, got

53
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.400
the bumper off. Saved me some
money by going above and beyond. Thank

54
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.840
you, officer. Wow. Yeah, who's this guy that I have a

55
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.840

00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.360
of April. Whoa, And I
followed a lot of what you used to

77
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.480
tell me. I've been on two
years asking you how you lost so much.

78
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.680
I remember you back in the day, right, Yeah, yeah,

79
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.920

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.079
Yeah, it's ninety percent nutritions you

81
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.680
feel better. I'm particular about what
I'm putting my body. Oh that's okay.

82
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.120
So so anyway, Kevin Bratcher,
you are not just You didn't just

83
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.800
serve for how long did you serve
in the house. I'm still a state

84
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:08.839
rap until December thirty first years,
almost three decades of years. So here

85
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.519
he is. He served, he
serves comonwell, Kentucky for nearly three decades.

86
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.639
First served in the Navy. That's
where I was going. But first

87
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.199
you served in the navy. How
much of your hearts is this great organization

88
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.680
USA Cares? How much of your
heart does it have? It? It's

89
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:29.360
wonderful. You know, I had
a Navy friend that committed suicide a couple

90
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.160
of months ago while we're in session, and uh, I remember that.

91
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.360
I know USA Cares does a does
a lot to try to prevent that,

92
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.720
among many other things they do.
USA Cares is amazing. And I know

93
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.560
I know that they don't score all
the money away. They put the money

94
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.160
right into the veterans. No,
they absolutely do. And By the way,

95
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.759
if you look on charity navigator,
who who they kind of look over

96
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.839
all these charities, they are a
four out of four. They scored one.

97
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.519
Uh. And if you're looking looking
for a charity adopt, I'm on

98
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.879
the knees of my heart to ask
you to please take a look at USA

99
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.879
Cares. Uh. Basically, they
take care of our veterans that took care

100
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:13.600
of us. And like Kevin said, there's twenty two veterans suicides every single

101
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.839
day. Uh. Here's where USA
Cares. Just a couple of things they

102
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.920
do. They step in when there's
gonna be a foreclosure, if there's food

103
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.959
scarcity, LG. And he's getting
ready cut him off. It goes on

104
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.199
and on and on and on.
And the best way you could serve those

105
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.000
that served us is to donate.
How did you get involved with USA Cares,

106
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:35.240
Kevin, Well, I've known Trace
Chester and the CEO pretty much my

107
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:40.879
whole life. Yeah, we've been
friends forever. And he has such great

108
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.120
integrity. You know, he he
won't tell anybody, but he was a

109
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.040
he was a hero in the first
Iraq War. Now he no, hang

110
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.199
on, hang on, he downplays
this. And we don't want to get

111
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:53.720
him pissed off for as they but
we'll talk about it. Say what you

112
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.399
say, because I know he doesn't
he doesn't want any accolades for it.

113
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.759
But the guy is a hero,
right he is. He's he's a great

114
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.560
guy. And I know that if
he's at the Helm, it's a good

115
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:07.199
organization. And he's been there for
a while. And you know we in

116
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.519
this last budget he worked. It
was last year and this year there was

117
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.040
some money from the budget that went
to USA Cares and as she represents,

118
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.040
Susan Whitten, who I think you
know, and I'm not just saying that

119
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.720
because she's your wife. She worked
her rear end off time, no money.

120
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.319
Yeah, yeah, And I saw
that because you know, you get

121
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.920
after she got elected office. I
get a peek behind the curtain of what

122
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.120
you and men and women do in
Frankfurt. And it's not just while you're

123
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.200
in session. I see the long, grueling hours. I see the papers

124
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.399
that have to be read. I
see the phone calls and everything that goes

125
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.440
in to try to get funding for
well deserved charities like USA Cares. And

126
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.799
it's no joke. What did it
mean to you as a veteran when you

127
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.240
finally saw Frankfurt, go, you
know what, we need to take care

128
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.440
of our veterans and we need to
help out USA. Well, it means

129
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.480
a lot because there's some veterans out
there that are struggling. Yeah, a

130
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.960
lot. And and uh, you
know there were there's been in my lifetime,

131
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.279
there's been two major wars, and
there are there are folks my age

132
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.759
or younger that are struggling with those
PTSD and and whatever. However you diagnose

133
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:28.159
their situations and it's it's uh,
they need a helping hand. And the

134
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:33.159
USA cares. Yeah, well we
want to be we want to make sure

135
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.480
Kentucky's at the forefront of USA cares
because let's look at Fort Campbell and Fort

136
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.919
Knox. If you want to talk
about the bourbon industry and what they bring

137
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:46.799
to Kentucky. Okay, it's cute
horse racing, that's cute, But what

138
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.879
Fort Campbell and for Knox bring in
are like, it's it's twelve fourteen billion

139
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:56.600
dollars a year. It's important we
have we are they are generating a lot

140
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:58.159
of money for the state. We
should get back to the veterans, and

141
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.799
especially the ones that are active duty. Now they can't pay for food when

142
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.519
they're out deployed, their families back
home. Can they're on food stamps.

143
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.759
You're back home? That is crazy
if you're not. If you're an officers

144
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.759
get paid on a different level.
But some of these guys that are boots

145
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.480
on the ground in the army,
they can't pay for food. We got

146
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:24.559
to change that. Yeah, it's
something in USA Cares and other organizations come

147
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.440
in and fill those holes, and
they were't grateful for them. Now,

148
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.279
we were talking earlier Bill Robie,
he was the former chairman of USA Cares,

149
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.600
talking about how many calls they get. They get it around one hundred

150
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.960
and fifty two hundred calls for assistance
from veterans. That's weekly weekly. So

151
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.679
there is a financial need maybe if
you're a business owner, or maybe you're

152
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.559
in a CFO CEO situation, any
like that. We have a lot of

153
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.159
big companies that are corporate citizens here
in Louisville and the state of Kentucky.

154
00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:00.840
You're hearing this. A partnership with
USA Cares is something you won't regret.

155
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.480
I promise. They have a four
out of four star rating on Charity Navigator.

156
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.120
They have one hundred score with Charity
Navigator, and they look into these

157
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.720
charities with a fine tooth calm.
All of the money goes to help your

158
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:18.559
veterans. If you want to donate, please do so. Go to USA

159
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.519
Cares dot org or you can they
have an office. Oh, I can't

160
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.639
remember the road. It's off of
Plant Side Drive. You can google your

161
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:33.159
address. So you're going from Frankfort
to hopefully Metro Council. Yeah, you

162
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.039
go from being part of the majority
over there to get into a knife fight

163
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:45.240
at Louisville Metro Council. Now when
is the Frankfurt has passed it? So

164
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.159
there's no no DNRS anymore? Right, So you're just running? Right?

165
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.080
Is that for this election or the
next one? This election in November will

166
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.720
be the last time that the Metro
Louisville Metro mayor and City Council run as

167
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.039
a artisan, meaning an R or
a D or an independent or something behind

168
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:09.240
their name. Okay, starting next
the following twenty twenty five, that all

169
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.320
goes away, That all goes away. Okay, I gotta say, let's

170
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.440
start with State Representative Kevin Bratch or
hopefully soon to be Councilman Bratch or after

171
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.120
November at least, I hope you
got a heart of a servant, don't

172
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:28.480
you, Because not just with USA
Cares, but your your career. You've

173
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.679
been serving the public and you're looking
to serve more. But I've seen you

174
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.159
out with people and you're just a
genuine servant. What puts that in your

175
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.279
personality? What do you think makes
it makes you want to serve others so

176
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.480
much? Because it's I could tell
when we're out and I see you do

177
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.120
something that most people won't do,
like know, it's genuine. What makes

178
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.279
you like that? Man? Well, you know, let me start with

179
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.759
this first. You've heard how and
I can't think of one now, but

180
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:03.039
how rock stars or movie like they
like to say, well, what what

181
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.039
what is your motivation motivation behind this
movie or this song this part, and

182
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.559
they say it's something that I would
like to see I would like to hear.

183
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.960
So as I was growing up,
you know, there were situations where,

184
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.639
uh, you know, government needed
to help us. Now you know,

185
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.200
I'm a I'm a conservative Republican.
I don't think believe in the nanny

186
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.639
state, right, but there are
times when the government needs to step in.

187
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.879
So many times I say, whether
it's the state rep role or hopefully

188
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.799
Metro Council, I'll say, what
would if I was that ten year old

189
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.600
kid and needed something from the government, What would I want my counselman or

190
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:45.559
state rep to do? And I
you know a lot of that comes from

191
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.039
that. Well, let me tell
you it shows. It shows how I

192
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.440
don't want to apologize to you,
probably for one of the most busiest days

193
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.639
of your life. So I grew
up. One of my best friends growing

194
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.879
up, God Rest. His soul
was Kevin Bratcher, not this Kevin brad

195
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.600
but another Kevin Bratcher. And when
he died, I gave him a farewell,

196
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.519
a tearful for where Oh yes,
not knowing, not knowing that I

197
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:18.639
should preference. Yes, everyone's like
Kevin. People are posting God rest the

198
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:24.440
soul of State represented Ken? What
was he? What was like some people

199
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.600
saying good? What was What was
it like to find out you were dead

200
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.440
on that day? Were the first
voice smell I got? I just like,

201
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.159
gosh, this guy's crazy. And
then after about the tenth and twelfth

202
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.639
I started thinking something's going on here. And it didn't take me long to

203
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.360
figure out that Kevin Bratcher And there's
like four four or five in this general

204
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.519
yea, that's funny. Well,
the thing is before Facebook and and social

205
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.480
media. I didn't think there was
another Kevin Bratcher in the United States,

206
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.600
did we we growing up? But
now I put it in the Facebook and

207
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:05.240
they'll be well listen Kevin bratch Er
aka Last. But it's really good to

208
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.759
see you, my friend, and
best of luck in November because this the

209
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.440

your eyes and behind your eyes they

head like Dwight and I or a
long head like Dave. Either way either

231
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.080

your head. Vision first, Vision
FIRSTI care dot com. All right,

233
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:52.440
we are back here at partisan Ye. Before we get into the reeling in

234
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.600
the years of Courtney Donahoe, we'll
pull her in to talk about when she

235
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.919
gets there. Dave, lots of
pasta. We send Courtney a basket and

236
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.400
by the way, they can now
ship frozen things at lots of pasta.

237
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.160
They couldn't when we hooked up Courtney, but now you can send the meatballs

238
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.319
to you. Yep, so I
try. I talked about the Michaels of

239
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:18.240
Brooklyn. They have their gravy,
which few normal people would call spaghetti sauce.

240
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.960
Yeah, but it is. We
tried it last night. Oh my

241
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.720
gosh, dude. Yes, the
pasta's imported from Italy and it's a little

242
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.400
more expensive. But as Dave has
always said, we ate it last night

243
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.160
and I did not feel bloated.
I could sleep an hour later. It

244
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.559
was fantastic. So the Michaels of
Brooklyn checked that out. It's in the

245
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:44.079
back towards the right, and they
have fetuccini sauces, the gravy and all

246
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.680
of that. So check that out. I love the Micaels, but my

247
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:49.960
two favorite are the Lots of Pasta
brand sausa is made right here in Kentucky,

248
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:55.000
the regular and the spicy Marenera.
They have sausa just to throw on

249
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.200
the grill. Tony, you can
grill. It's not just saying Italian at

250
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.480
Lots of Pasta Mexican on raised two. Uh. And then they have the

251
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:03.960
artists and waters. I don't know
if you saw that one. I did

252
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.920
a twenty four dollars bottle of water. If you are one of those people

253
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:12.079
I like, I like to take
that and make tea with it. So

254
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:17.559
how much did you love? Lots
of pasta? Courtney? The spicy sauce

255
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:22.240
is delicious. You guys have to
send me more, send me more?

256
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.839
What are you? Well? Well, well hang on that cordet now you

260
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.160
oh there's thirteen. There's no way
we can lose now. Yeah. Well,

261
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.799
the good thing is it's because I'm
back. That's the reason you're doing

262
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.160
so well. You're terrible until I
showed down. Yeah that's the ticket.

263
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.160
All right, What decade, Dave

four that's still You can't get over that

270
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:41.160
too soon. You know that was
like forty five years ago. It's gonna

271
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:48.559
take some time. But the voice
of a name, awesome voice. It

272
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.200
really does the opposite of me.
When my wife sings, she sounds exactly

00:19:52.240 --> 00:20:03.319
like Karen Carpenter. She got a
voicebox. Ah, Okay, seventy three,

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:40.720
was the first song my mother heard
when I was born. Wow, No,

293
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:45.119
no way, Morning the first song. So my mom always talks about

294
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.480
this. After Courtney was born,
my mom, my mom, that's when

295
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:53.960
I was born. My mom said, water has broke. That's what you

296
00:21:55.119 --> 00:22:02.119
beat me to it. That's not
true. He's got some think seventy two,

297
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:06.960
but now I want to go to
seventy one. Really? Yeah?

to go with? I think I'm I

304
00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:33.960

337
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:55.920
Louisville. So they started, they
started to board up buildings. Yes,

338
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.440
that's not the case. No,
so our guys said, well wait,

339
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:02.960
let me check. So our guy
said, oh no, that is the

340

Special Olympics torch run and a lot
of their candidates are are running with the

341

Special Olympians. So that's why there's

344
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:22.880
if you're hanging out with us right
now. I got to tell you

345
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.440
if you don't have a charity that
yet you've adopted to get to. I

346
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:32.119
can't say enough good things about USA
Cares. Go to USA Cares dot o

347
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.920
rg Uh. Here's just one thing
about them. Charity Navigator. It's it's

348
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:41.200
a it's a organization that looks into
charities with a fine tooth called with a

349
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.200
microscope. They're rated four out of
four. Did you hear that? Four

350
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:52.200
out of four on Charity Navigator they
scored one hundred and all they do is

351
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.720
help out the men and women that
served and helped us out. And we're

352
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.400
talking in a big way. If
there's a foreclosure, they help them make

353
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:02.880
the know why it's getting returned off
there, stepping in food scarcity, you

354
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.640
name it. It goes on and
on and on and on. I'm on

355
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:08.119
the knees of my heart begging you
check out USA Cares. As I bring

356
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:12.519
in the national spokesperson, Brian Anderson. First of all, good morning,

357
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:15.880
Brian, it's good to it's good
to see you man. Good morning.

358
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:19.599
It's good. It's big responsibility,
uh, national spokesperson right a little bit,

359
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:23.440
Yeah, but I started a long
time ago, back when this company

360
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:29.079
was you know, an office in
Radcliffe, Kentucky. And I've been able

361
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:33.920
to watch it grow, help it
grow. Yeah, and it's kind of

362
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.440
been amazing and we're still going strong. I gotta tell you this later.

363
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.160
It's a wonderful organization and God bless
the men and women to work there.

364
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.279
Like I said, scored four out
of four with charity Navigator and that's no

365
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.279
baloney. And I want to talk
more about that, but first I want

366
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:55.440
to talk about the movie star.
Okay, here's a by the way,

367
00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:57.839
let's Brian, what is your story. Let's hear your You are a veteran

368
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:02.960
and you are in a wheelchair.
Tell us your story. Yeah. So,

369
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.359
you know, I joined the Army
in two thousand and one and I

370
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:12.319
actually went to basic training on September
eleventhought, Oh, you gotta be kidding.

371
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:18.119
I'm not joking. Your first day
crazy. I mean, technically it

372
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.799
was one o'clock in the morning,
September twelfth, now, but we got

373
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.000
on some buses and drove seven hours
Fort Lenderwood, Missouri. I became a

374
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:33.279
military police officer. I was stationed
at Fort Hood, Texas. And you

375
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.440
know, after September eleventh, you
know, we all kind of knew that

376
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.079
we were going to go somewhere at
some point. Yeah, and we were

377
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.440
kind of proud of that. We
were happy to be able to be the

378
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:47.400
ones to get to do something about
it, right, and it made us

379
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:51.839
feel good. Two thousand and three, you know, I went in for

380
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:55.960
the invasion in Iraq. It was
by the way, they probably makes Basic

381
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.480
a little bit more intense knowing that
you're going, you know that that's happened,

382
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:03.000
right, that Basic probably was like, hey, this isn't just I'm

383
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.599
going to be deployed to Georgia.
I know at the end of this whatever

384
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:08.599
eighteen weeks whatever it was, that
you were going to go overseas, right,

385
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:14.119
Yeah. I mean I think I
was so young. I was nineteen

386
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.880
twenty years old, so like,
I knew I was going somewhere, and

387
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:19.000
I'm sure that was in the back
of my mind. Yeah, And I

388
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.240
did tend to pay attention. I
was really, you know, a pretty

389
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.680
good soldiery. Things just seemed to
make sense to me. I didn't even

390
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.559
realize I had a brain in my
head until I got into the military.

391
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.200
Awesome, that's crazy. So you
found your place, you found your people,

392
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.359
you found your trust good. I
knew I wasn't going to stay in

393
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:38.160
the whole time, but I wanted
to do my part. I wanted to

394
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:44.559
help the little guy. And so
what happened, You get deployed. Yeah,

395
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:47.720
So the first year was interesting and
they were really scared of us,

396
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:51.480
and I had a lot of you
know, interesting experiences, and there are

397
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:56.160
times in that part of the year
that some of us could say we actually

398
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.079
had some fun. The second year
to thousand and five, so we went

399
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.920
home for eight months, go back
in two thousand and five January two thousand

400
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.960
and five, and they tell us
strictly in Bagdad, we're helping the Iraqi

401
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:08.599
police do what they need to do, teaching them how to police their own

402
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:12.559
country and everything like that. And
so we were going outside the wire every

403
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:19.799
day and we had sixty IEDs going
off every day, sixty IEDs every single

404
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:25.880
day, just in a six mile
radius southeast, by god. So it

405
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:29.319
kind of became like, you know, it used to be like if we

406
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:30.640
get hit, Now the question,
kay, all right, when we get

407
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:34.279
hit, wow, is it gonna
be one of those stories where I watched

408
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.759
trapmanna gole right by my face.
But I didn't come out with a scratch.

409
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.079
Is the armor gonna hold up?
Or is it gonna kill us?

410
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.319
All I tell you soldiers, don't
think about coming back halfway. You either

411
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.440
think you're gonna make it or not
right, And and then you know.

412
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:52.359
October twenty third, two thousand and
five is the date that I got blown

413
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:57.559
up. And I didn't even realize, you know, I was hurt yet,

414
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.480
Like my first reaction is to looked
to my right to where everybody was

415
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.720
in the truck. To me,
I'd be like, hey, you guys

416
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.799
are right, you guys are right, and you know I didn't hear anything.

417
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:11.119
WHOA. Luckily they had, you
know, minor wounds compared to me.

418
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.279
They jumped out of the truck before
it even stopped moving. Meanwhile,

419
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:19.000
I'm inside, my legs in my
hand like were cut off instantly. My

420
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.839
legs were laying on the floorboard.
My hand was in the passenger seat,

421
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:26.519
and it kind of spun me sideways
be where I was like laying on my

422
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:30.160
back with my head towards the door. And when I looked to the right,

423
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.279
I was seeing green, And I'm
like, why am I seeing green?

424
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:36.440
Well? I thought I was sitting
up looking to my right in the

425
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.519
passenger seat. Well, because I
was laying in the driver's seat and I

426
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.279
was looking to the right. God, I was actually looking at the back

427
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.920
of my seat, which is street. And when I told myself, all

428
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:49.039
right, get out, and I
don't know what I did to try to

429
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.440
get out. I just realized after
a few seconds I couldn't get out,

430
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:59.119
still not realizing that I was injured. I didn't know anything. It didn't

431
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:04.440
cry out the I D It takes
your legs, it takes and you still

432
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:08.559
don't know that you're injured. No, Wow, you're just in shock.

433
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:14.799
I was adrenaline. One of the
reasons that I didn't bleed out, though,

434
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:18.680
is because of the type of IED's
and e FP and you know they

435
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:23.599
top those off with copper plates and
it gets so hot that copper liquifies.

436
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:29.039
That's what goes through the truck.
It's not piercing the truck, it's melting

437
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:33.960
through the truck. And that's what
went through me. And it cauterized everything.

438
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:38.079
Oh my god, it was crazy. That is crazy. So they

439
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:41.640
EVACU out. Yeah, so they
get me under the sidewalk. Yeah,

440
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:47.240
calling the nine line. The helicopter
pilot was told not to land lands an

441
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:49.680
impossible spot because he's like, if
I don't land, this kid's dead.

442
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:55.160
And he just did it. Those
guys are awesome, They're crazy, They're

443
00:31:55.759 --> 00:32:01.920
amazing. I tell you, USA
cares dot Org couldn't pick a better spokesperson.

444
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:08.000
All right, I'm getting emotionally here
thinking about that guy landing on a

445
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:14.200
helicopter. All right, so your
recovery time, right? How long was

446
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.240
that? Well? When I woke
up, I was like, I just

447
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:20.519
want to go home and get better. How long do I have to be

448
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:22.400
here? They're like, well,
the average stay of a soldiers eighteen to

449
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:28.519
thirty six months. I'm just like
what what? Okay? So I just

450
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:30.880
put my head down and did what
I needed to do and I was a

451
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:36.039
triple amputee and I made it out
of there in thirteen months. All right,

452
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.440
live man. I was one of
the really lucky ones. So I

453
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:45.279
had a really good attitude, you
know, kind of like how I am

454
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.440
today. I've always been this way. And I got noticed in the media

455
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.720
a lot. And as I'm leaving
Walter Reed, I came out on the

456
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.880
cover of Syre magazine. They did
a huge spread, ten page spread on

457
00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:59.880
me, and in there it said
I wanted to be an actor and maybe

458
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:05.440
stunk man, And from that article
I became, you know, the spokesperson

459
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:10.440
of a wheelchair company, Quantum Rehab. I was looking for a foundation to

460
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:15.160
work for. I found USA Cares. They seem to really like me too,

461
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:19.559
and so we all met up.
It seemed like fate. This is

462
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:22.200
the way it's supposed to be.
And I've been on board ever since.

463
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:24.279
Hey, Dave, I'm gonna take
us a little bit long on this,

464
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:28.079
and I'll take the heat from the
balls on it. But I got to

465
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.240
bring that up. You say on
the article that you want to be an

466
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.640
actor, you want to be a
st man, and you did. Here's

467
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.119
some of the movies you read.
An American Sniper, Batman, The Dark

468
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.000
Night, The Week Of with Adam
Sandler, Chris Rock and then what I

469
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:45.039
want to talk to you about particularly
is The Wrestler is a small indie film.

470
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:47.200
While it's underrated, I just told
you it's underrated. Mickey Rourke as

471
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:54.200
a wrestler. So part of the
scene you take your prosthetic leg off and

472
00:33:54.240 --> 00:34:00.880
you give it to Mickey Rourke to
beat somebody up with. Yes that scripted

473
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:05.400
or is that something you throw in
there? So me, the stunt coordinator,

474
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:09.960
Darren Aronofsky, the director, Mickey
Rourke, We're all standing there figuring

475
00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:13.239
out, hey, what can we
do? And it was like, what

476
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:16.039
if we come out of the ring
and we we wrestle into him and I

477
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:20.360
roll back and fall out of the
chair or something like that, Like no,

478
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:22.280
no, what could be funny?
And it was actually Mickey that was

479
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:31.880
like those legs come off, and
I was like, well, yes,

480
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:37.480
actually, and it's kind of funny
because of the hotel. We filmed from

481
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:45.000
four pm to four am in South
Philly, and the wrestler that Mickey was

482
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:51.679
wrestling in that scene was staying across
the hall from me, and we both

483
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:55.440
walk up to our rooms. I
turn right, he turns left. The

484
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:58.679
doors are right across the hall from
each other, and it was like,

485
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:01.119
you want to out for a minute
and he's like yeah, sure. And

486
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:05.480
what he told me is like,
out of everything I did that day,

487
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:12.159
he had fluorescent tubes on his back, he had stable dollar bills to his

488
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.800
forehead, landed on barbed wire and
nils and all kinds of stuff. He

489
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:22.679
said, the thing that hurt the
most was getting hit by my He is

490
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:30.440
and he's the national spokesperson USA Cares
dot O RG folks donate his wonderful organization

491
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:36.639
four out of four stars and Charity
Navigator plus one hundred percent, scoring only

492
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:39.840
three percent of the charities can claim
that God bless you and thank you so

493
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:44.920
