8:17 pm
do which they were. they never complained of my cameraman and i would often complain to each other. we are not soldiers or marines are built to be out there but we were. we had no idea what we were in for and what we were in for is what they were informed that they train for it and we didn't. but you asked if i was ever scared. one evening we were in a firefight. it lasted 45 minutes ago no question we were both scared because there was live ammunition going back and forth. we did not know who was out there, we didn't have the infrared as the marines did. we were hiding in the back of an armored vehicle hoping we did not get shot. abby: what you hope the american public gets out of the show? >> i hope that christian and i

can convey just how honorable these men and women are that are serving our nation. and how much respect they have earned and deserve because they're not getting paid a lot of money. they are not getting a lot of glory. but they are protecting us and serving all of us. i just have so much respect for them i hope we convey that because they protected us when we reported what they were doing and they just kept doing their jobs without complaining which is the best experience of my reporting career and i would do it again. abby: an incredible story, great footage thank you for bringing this to us. abby: if you are loving all the shoes then watch our next

bad thing happen to them and sometimes when they thought they were on the right track them they have another complication from a previous injury then set back again. just to meet them and their families to see how they constantly make lemonade out of lemonade - - lemons. thank you for your service and your attitude and your inspiration. is the best thing i have ever done i am honored to meet them to some a lot of people need to learn that lesson. you are essentially building new homes for all of these veterans program sure a lot of them struggle with disabilities. >> they have a huge stack of applications because this started in 2006 by the end of this year they should have 200 homes built so it is one every 11 days so they want a gifted home but you don't pay anything for the brand-new beautiful house.
8:28 pm
and it comes furnished. that just starts your life in the right direction then if you have a disability it is customized for you so it is a win-win. but the stack of applicants is big that the organization finds the veterans they work with the family. this is what you need. we can outfit your garage or a elevator. so they make sure in the kitchen the sink is far enough away from the island or the kitchen table so you can do a 360 with your wheelchair and then you can use the appliances like a microwave it is down low. he is actually a chef. he has an apparatus he puts it over the spices and the ingredients and it reads it to him. abby: a lot of things we don't

8:30 pm
it is a great surprise and a great element. >> this is around the time around the fourth of july do have a new perspective? >> every time, for me i don't have a military family some reading these families and this organization was a first for me. so now i do see better. either stop them and say thank you for your service if it is a wounded veteran i talked to them and it gives me more appreciation for everything they have done and dealt with and how we treat them when they come back. i do have to say something about the children. i'm getting a little emotional. they are so good impatient kids and care for other people. it's a beautiful organization. >> i cannot think of a better host to host the show because you are so passionate and to see your connection i have

8:38 pm
hollywood movie you can barely believe it. he went into a house along with multiple suicidal insurgents who were there to die and took it upon himself to save the man in his squad who were otherwise trapped this isn't how you are supposed to do it but in that moment he made a decision talking about pacing outside the house back and forth saying do i go in her do what do not go men? i will save them i will not leave this battle without killing these insurgents. because if i don't they live to fight another day so he storms in with one automatic weapon rambo style close quarters combat shooting some he enters rooms that are pitch black at night those are not
8:39 pm
clear and without men behind his back going upstairs he does not know. men are jumping out of wardrobes and closets they are jumping from the roof. by the time he gets to the top floor he is running out of ammunition and cannot use the ammunition the whole room is rigged to blow with propane tanks. >> the ak-47 was in front of me it felt like an eternity where we just stared at each other and with my cigarette i could see and we just stared at each other i turn the a-k around and tried my best to shoot with it and it didn't hit him. so that was gone and i tossed it away he was backing up to the side of the rooftop and i
8:40 pm
grabbed my rifle and i hit him in the hip and in the leg. there was a yellow water tank on the roof to have one - - rooftop i thought he fell behind it so he is fixed and wounded with no weapon i take my time. but as the guys into the building i hear gunfire from downstairs then i hear it outside. he made an attempt to crawl to another landing and basically fell into a palm grove. >> talk about transitioning home and the challenges we face in the fact he did not grow up with a kit of courage but afraid of a lot of things and could not save his family something he talks vividly about his very dynamic larger than life america needs to
8:41 pm
learn his name and rightfully so. i want my kids to know his name. he got the medal of honor and earned every bit of it. abby: when you talk to him , you do that not only switching guns but all of that under pressure and you think watching a hollywood movie that is cool but if you think of the circumstances surrounding that if you talk to him what kind of guy is he? use a larger-than-life but what type of personalities is that take quick. >> exactly somebody who can disregard his life to save the life of his men. i had a chance to go to medal of honor ceremony he brought them onstage and made it about his fellow members. i have never been in anything like that i have been in combat and ultimately at the
8:42 pm
end of the day you look to the guide to the right and left i want to make it home and you will try to bring me home that is part of the calculation. they were through a long battle and terrible things they were enduring and he felt if i don't kill them they will kill other americans. i had those thoughts as well the different circumstances if we don't do this that they will live to plan another bomb and that weighs on you. some in that moment i don't know if you make that decision every time but in that moment knowing it was imminent death, he basically knew he could live loan - - loses life. abby: this is a story america needs to hear i appreciate you telling you i know reviewers do as well. >> they will love it. abby: watch modern warrior and other programming only on "fox nation". we will be back with more
8:43 pm

8:44 pm
8:47 pm
abby: i never really considered strongly running for the presidency but the country has never been in trouble like it is now. >> i knew he was frustrated and why is this happening in our country quick. >> i don't think people fully understand his life he had $300 billion from the apprentice and said i will do something more important. >> my pleasure to introduce to you today a man who i have loved and respected my entire life. >> i am officially runnin
