>> that was something. >> lawrence: those lyrics. >> carley: yeah. flipped the phrase, the hell they will to mean two different things and absolutely nails it so we thank him for what he did as well. >> kayleigh: we are so thankful that you spent your fourth of july weekend with us, happy independence day and happy birthday america. ♪♪ >> hello everyone, happy fourth of july, i'm dana perino along with judge jeanine pirro, jesse watters and jimmy fay la. it's 5:00 o'clock in new york city and this is the five. >> happy birthday america. we have a fun filled show ahead as we celebrate our nation's independence including back by popular demand a fourth of july edition of supermarket showdown. we are also squaring off in a

patriotic trivia challenge plus judge jeanine and jimmy take us to coney island where they road the world famous cyclone and we're answering your fan mail sections but first a brand new segment the five summer fun extravaganza. we're going to dive head first into summer topics that celebrate july 4th. first off you know americans love barbecues but kit create issues. millennials actually they they grill better than parents who taught them and at least half meat eaters worry about a vegetarian showing up at their barbecue. i don't worry about that because if you're a vegetarian you can always find something to eat. >> i don't know any vegetarians and i want to keep it that way dana. my mother does the barbecue and my father does the clean up. >> really? >> i like it. >> isn't that kind of messed up? >> that's perfect. >> you think that's perfect?

>> that's perfection. >> that's funny. >> yeah, i don't do it that way. i grill and emma cleans up. >> do you have a specialty. >> just stake. stake burgers and dogs. >> if you have a whole table full of people do you go around and say how do you like your stake? >> no, i can't do different temperatures. everybody gets medium rare. >> jessica, how about you? >> i'm not a griller. brian does the grilling, i guess. we had a fourth of july together. i don't know if we had barbecue for it but i do think this is just like millennial attitude like i did it better than my parents, you know, rather than it being what's actually going on but what i can't figure out is there's always chicken and no one eats chicken. it's like who marinated the chicken, make sure it's there, paying attention and then no one cares. my fourth of july -- >> that's true. that is true. >> judge, how about you? are you the griller? >> you know what happens? i usually have someone else do grills but i may in the end finish it. although certain things, like if i make a chirp kabob you have to

capitol hill the tomatoes separately because if you grill them with the chicken or filet or whatever you're cooking or salmon then they get cooked different times so i have to kind of monitor that. the men are good at like. i'm like no, the tomato and onion need to be cooked longer. >> how did you pronounce that. >> shiscabob. it could be chicken. >> you be the judge. >> here's the thing. i come from a male dominate house on the barbecue, my dad was a legendary barbecue test and we cook everything to the eye. everyone getting a thermometer involved i wills ruining barbecue. you cook to the eye, you don't know in the thermometer's right and then you're eating a dry pork chop. when the millennials say i'm better than my parents that's what you think but you have to

go by what the rest of the people are saying. most millennials don't know how to cook and you wind up in those houses where you pray after you eat. [laughter]. >> in a certain room in the house. i got it. all right, up next, you may have to swim at your own risk this summer. there's a nationwide lifeguard shortage thanks to low unemployment and covid defects on training and it is expected to affect thousands of pools. this is happening in denver judge my mom says they can't open the public pools for the kids because there's no life guards. >> you know, it's not surprising. everybody everything's been hit by the number of people that couldn't want to work. but you would think -- i just have these memories with the guys, they had the whistles and they were always swinging it around. they just want to show their physiques. they don't care what they get paid so i don't know why we have a shortage. but, yeah. >> some life guards are making half a million dollars. didn't we do that story? >> we did. >> not to be too serious about

it but this is really bad for kids that are out of school and have nowhere to go. >> yeah. >> like to hang out during the summer. parents still have to work. i mean, the community pool is a big deal no matter where you are. there are even ones -- >> and it's not like you can learn to swim on youtube. >> no, you have to dive in and figure it out yourself. i don't think we need the life guards. i would just open the pool, let the parents monitor the situation. >> the parents are worse. >> or maybe a counselor. they don't have to be certified. make sure there's some adult with the eye on the pool. decades ago we didn't have life guards everywhere, people just jumped in the ocean, they jumped in a pool, everything was fine. >> but we weren't as la tis as we are today. you would have to get everyone to sign release of liability. >> that's true. >> what do you think. >> i have the answer. this used to be a glamour gig but we went body positive as a society. we need to bring back bay watch in a non-body positive way. because right now every bathing suit is body positive. we have to bring back

lifeguarding as a glamour gig. guys used to lifeguard because it was a way to get women. you were the guy on the stand. >> how do you know that? >> oh, i know things judge, i know plenty of things. we'll get into it later. that used to be a glamour gig. the problem in the body positive p era is you don't champion. you were the alpha cool guy at the pool. we don't need life guards, no one goes in the water they just take instagram pictures. if people start swimming we'll bring them back. >> we need basically robot life guards that don't short circuit. >> yeah. >> in water. i have to think that through a little bit further. up next, 66% of americans admit we need a book during the summer just to look smarter. jesse would never do that. what are the favorite's favorite. >> right now i'm reading peter zion's new book the end of the world is just the beginning. it's not even out yet and it makes me look spar because the rest are what you would expect,

david bell, john grissom, james paterson. i'm not ashamed. >> they're popular because they're popular. >> tell gutfeld. >> nelson demill. >> do you read at the beach jessica or take care of the baby at the pitch. >> the question first the thing that i am reading is about the show time lakers because i loved winning team on hbo so i wanted to read the book behind it to see how much it added up to it. my favorite series of all times was the 50 shades series. >> oh, wow, jessica. >> is that appropriate? >> i'm triggered. >> while you were pregnant? >> yes. the book did it. >> no, it's so funny. >> i love it. so fun. >> now you're all talking about nelson demill i have his new book that isn't out yet.

>> what book? >> the new one i just got it the other day so i'm going to be reading that and i'm reading killing the killers. >> good one. i already read it. >> reilly, unbelievable. those are the books i read. i read nelson demill i always read demill. and then i sleep the rest of the time stop kidding we're all sleeping at the beach. >> i'm actually reading about cnn plus which is weird it's the only book that begins with chapter 11. >> hey, all right everybody. he's got jokes. >> my favorite is last train to memphis about elvis, about the rise and fall of elvis presley. another book that just came out author betraying the king and one of the things about having the fat elvis book at the beach is people feel better about your physique because elvis is like 325 pounds so the skinny guy isn't so bad. and where the red furniture grows, which is a book my fourth grade teacher read to us about hunting dogs. greatest book in the world and spoiler alert they die in

chapter twechlt and i'm a big dog -- my whole fourth grade class was weeping holding each other. the worst thing ever. i'm like mrs. jermano where is your head on that. >> you should call her up and ask her. >> i like to read at the beach. i have two books from point pleasant book shop, the little point book shop. how to find love in a book shop is one but that's a novel. you guys are all reading those high fa lieuen stuff. and then another one by emily. >> what is that about. >> two people are single but they're going to get together. >> so it's like 50 shades. >> it's not that weird. >> dana version. >> i read that, absolutely. how can you not read that. you read them jesse admit it. >> they were so poorly written, how could you -- >> everybody read it. don't you have a read room? is it red room? >> no, all right. >> i do not know what you mean.

>> everyone reads in the red room. >> activities for a classic road trip what are the must haves and dos and don't for hitting the wide open road. jimmy. >> do, feel feel to post a driving selfie. don't post so many updates i feel like i owe you gas money. that's my biggest, when people go on vacation they keep connecting, just leave. if you take the that couple's driving selfie wait an hour until you're fighting. it's a much better picture for the rest of us. much better. >> what do you have in the car. >> here's the thing okay. as the driver, i always consider the driver to be in charge of the music. you should be obligated to play music everybody knows. nobody wants to go on a road trip and sing along. if you're going on a holiday. >> you can't take gutfeld on a road trip. >> no, we have a cambodian scar band that broke up. thanks greg. you want comradery in the car so i think you need music everybody

knows and you need to pack slacks because i don't think snacks are justification for pulling over. you can get a snack if i'm getting gas. if i'm getting gas go to the bathroom and get a snack. but the idea to stop. >> no, no, you have to to have a reason to stop. i think twizzlers the long rope kind. >> oh, yeah. >> i love those. i like the really long rope ones. i don't know if they're twizzlers. anyway you can make them into a whole bunch of knots. i love that. and pumpkin seeds. the other thing you have to have in the car is a trash can or trash receptacle and wet wipes. >> oh, that's good. >> good things to have. all right. >> moving down, multiple pacifiers because if one pacifier falls, it's scramble time. we need chargers for the twins because if they don't have their ipads charged it's trouble they want me to talk to them. and since emma's driving i need my back pillow because i'm not

driving anymore and emma needs waves because she gets lost. >> you can't always pick this but go on a road trip with someone that doesn't have a small bladder. that's the most irritating thing, every hour. you're not going to get where you're going. or make them wear a diaper which works for the baby. snack wise, always cheetos, diet coke and water. >> diet coke and water, alternate. >> yeah, you have to stay hydrated. in terms of the driver being in charge of music, agreed. but my husband is one of the people who thinks he needs to d.j. every moment perfectly. i was in labor and he was like what do we want to listen to? i was like i want to listen to, i don't to sing the song specifically. you need like a naught age -- >> not a female -- >> okay. >> so i do the driving and what i have to remember is go the speed limit. >> oh, yeah. >> okay. number two, york peppermint

patties. >> what if they melt. >> cool breeze and my long dark dress. enough of that. and i always take my travelers and my three poodles, so they don't care what music i play. but i always, i'm always constantly switching the music. >> do they go in the trunk or the back seat or the front seat. >> the escalade i open the top hatch and the three are looking behind at the cars behind us. people are like taking pictures and that's why i'm always going the speed limit. >> always. >> and finally everybody has that one summer jam that gets them pumped up. here are some of this year's top ♪♪ ♪♪ you know it's not the same as it ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ turn up the music, turn down the lights ♪♪ ♪♪ my money doesn't jiggle jiggle, it folds. i like to see you wiggle wiggle

celebrating america's 246 birthday. we have so many wonderful stories to bring to you tonight to display the very best of our country. we talked to folks from all across the usa about being an american and what 1y9 very july 4th means to them. >> i take a trip to nashville and sit down with a country music artist and very special guest that will include an exclusive live musical performance tonight that you do not want to miss. >> and i will take you to new haven connecticut for a festive independence day celebration. we will hear from americans on the streets of new york tonight at that time site of the macy's fireworks show and, get this. later jimmy failla, he's going to join us. you know it will be a good time. >> and we are go to nathan in washington, dc and i go back to my stomping grounds and unite with my unit which i can't wait for you guys to see. and of course live fireworks from our nation's capitol. >> tonight we will salute the red white and blew our freedom

and all we love about this country but before we begin we want to a moment to send our thoughts and prayers to highland park illinois. say celebration targeted by evil when a suspect opened fire on their july 4th parade. six people have lost their lives, 24 others are recovering from their injuries. we know now that the 22 year old gunman was taken into custody within the last hour after a short police pursuit. thankfully, we are one step closer to justice tonight. let's take a moment to be grateful for what we have and hold our loved ones close. tonight is a night to set aside our differences and find unity in our patriotism. find unity in our patriotism. i love that and lawrence every time you hear about something like this happening, it's a shock. it's horrific. and then you start to see the images of the victims and, you know, their beautiful faces and it just becomes an absolute gut punch because they were doing the right thing. they were celebrating our

country. i'm sure they woke up excited to celebrate with their families and, you know, make a memory, a lasting memory and something like this happens. you just have to wonder where dos that leave us. >> yeah. the celebration will go on. we will not honor the shooter here. i think it's important to honor the victims as well as talk about all those images that we're getting and the fantastic stories that we got when evil was there, there were people within the crowd that made make shift tourniquets until law enforcement were able to rescue and get people to the hospital. as a result of that we have innocent lives that were saved as a result of that. but we also have to remember that the gunman wanted to distract from this day. he wanted the celebrations to stop. he wanted to be the person that we remembered today. that's why we won't say his name. we won't continue to put his image out there. we will celebrate this great country. we will celebrate the innocence of those people that died today and remember their remarkable lives here today. but we will also continue to

celebrate our service members as well as all the great stories that make america great. i think that's important tonight is not to let him get the glory but the show must go on while still honors those victims that we lost today. >> bravery, really brave people always show their true colors during times of terror and tragedy. kaley what's your thoughts. >> they do. i went to a fourth of july celebration yesterday in new haven connecticut as i mentioned and i saw these families coming out with their picnic bass kets ready for fireworks getting there hours early and the joy on their faces it's one of their few days off from work to be there. and i imagine this pa trade, high land park illinois you're there and then screaming ensues. one mom says she's there with her son, this happens, she hears the gunshots, tried to break into a local store, couldn't get in and found an ally when there was a break in the shooting, ran to the ali put her son in a

dumpster to protect him and walked past bodies. this is hard to hear but this is the reality on the fourth of july for these people but to your point we are going to remember these victims, these heroes that showed up in that moment. >> absolutely. one of the unfortunate things thatened that, joey, after a tragedy like this is it tends to divide us even more than it does unite us. >> yeah, politicians are going to do politician things. we're not politicians so we're not going to do those things. this is an act of terrorism plain and simple and they try to use evil to distract us and stop us from celebrating what is important to us. so it's not a show must goes on, it's a this country goes on and we will celebrate it. >> absolutely. and staying with the theme of unity and politics, some of the moments that stick out the most to me, when you think about the recent history of our country, our moments of unity, when the left and the right come together, one of the things that

sticks out the most, do you remember when nancy pelosi and paul ryan came together after the congressional baseball game shooting? i think those moments really speak to people because they're good, they're unexpected and they're also decent. i think that most americans are somewhere in the middle. they're not too far to the left, they're not too far to the right and we do like seeing those moments. >> absolutely. >> we're going to be talking about all these fantastic stories of great americans coming up. let's talk about some of our heroes and our great americans that we celebrate. joey who is your favorite hero? >> jimmy: yes, i want to talk about brigadier general james stewart or some of you might know actor jimmy stewart. he served in world war ii, he served in vietnam. he lost his son in vietnam. he served in the united states army and air core for almost 40 or 50 years, i can't remember the number off the top of my head. what's so amazing his real quick story is that jimmy start was too skinny to join the army

until world war ii so he went to the studio weight lifter at his job for movies, he said i need to gain 20 pounds and instead of going to the movies he went to the recruiter. we need those people back, we need them in hollywood and everywhere, that's where we celebrate. lifelong republican too and a friend of ronald reagan. >> kayleigh, who's your favorite american? >> i have to go with billy graham. and i say that, you know, they called him the president's pastor, he advised ever pastor going back to world war ii. and what comes to mind is george w bush said this -- george h rather. said billy graham is an inspiration in my life no one can be president without understanding the power of prayer and faith and billy graham helps me understand that. you can't underestimate what this man has done for history, faith is the steady red that runs through our country and billy graham is at the center of it. >> i'm going next, my favorite

is frederick douglass tattooed on the right side of my arm. so often people want to air their grievances on the fourth of july and he gave the speech what does fourth of july mean to the slaves. and he talked about how he loved the country. but he also wanted the country to live up to its value system, which is a term what we hear today, people just want to criticize and say america's bad. america is not bad. there are evil people and people that don't live up to the founding documents. we talked about it we had a bad american who harmed innocent americans. we celebrate the good america, we want america to live up to the founding documents but we love this country and that's what we're celebrating all night. and carley? >> somebody didn't pick ronald reagan. >> i love it the gifford. >> absolutely, the legend, great communicator, someone who stood for family values, safe rights, deregulation, lower taxes and it

feels we are at a dupe indicate time to the carter administration where you have somebody in the white house saying don't worry about energy, put a sweater on. so maybe it will be a repeat of a reagan come next presidential term we have to wait and see on that one. so my favorite american is ronald reagan but also dolly parton. >> yes, oh carley, yes. >> dolly parton because she's a perfect person. she's so talented. >> she is. she absolutely is. >> and going back to unity. i mean, she doesn't get political. she's just somebody that everybody can love. she is a real american icon. >> the best thing about dolly parton if you go to dolly wood which i grew up visiting because it's not too far for me she has the cabben where she grew up there and shows you she has not forgotten where she came from. she has a book program where she sends books to schools. i don't know her politics but i

know she cares about people. >> i don't think anyone knows. i never heard anyone say a bad thing about dolly. >> i met her twice when i was don i mus's assistant on fox news, when i met her i didn't expect her to be in so early in the morning but there she was full makeup. >> that's awesome. >> i turn the corner, and she -- like i almost run into her and she goes, well, hey there, cow girl. never has a girl from new jersey been called a cowgirl quite like that and i love her. also something that happens every fourth of july that of course we have to talk about and it is the nathan's hotdog eating contest. it is an iconic american tradition, whether you think it's great or gross. joey chestnut won again and then something very interesting happened. >> the judges. >> she got the judges but did you see, mid hotdog eating contest, joey chestnut puts a protester in a head lock. like an animal rights protester.

and he still won. >> he reached around, got him in lying a half figure, brought him over, the guy collapsed. then kept stuffing hot dogs. >> the animal rights protesters are trying to keep up with the climate protesters doing naked bike rides. >> they're like we need attention to. >> i can't watch it. >> i had it on, i listen to the commentary, there he is doing what he does, he ate 63, i believe, his 15th win. >> where do they go? >> i don't want to know. >> carley's being so modest because she's so fit you would think she doesn't eat. carley can eat. she could probably win the contest. >> so joey and i hosted fox and friends first all week last week and one morning he brought donuts in. i could have kissed you on the cheek. i might as well of because when you wake up that early -- >> you didn't bring donuts to outnumbered. >> these weren't just donuts

they were like individual cake size donuts with sprinkles and all the good stuff. >> where did you get those donuts by the way. >> i don't remember the name of the place. it was recommended. >> it was layered, too. >> you just triggered a memory for me. when i was in high school i won an eating competition. it was like, you know, just amongst friends, somebody bet me, said i bet you can't eat 20 white castle burgers in an hour and i did. >> you ate 20? >> yeah but they're like this -- >> oh, they're the little ones. >> yeah. i didn't want to tell my mom so i had to go home and eat dinner. >> i grew up in a household at my grandmother's house my dad and me, i won an eating contest where i had to finish my plate before anybody else got it. it was an eating contest every night at dinner. >> that i believe. >> let's go to christina coleman who's standing by in manhattan. christina what are puig sable there in the big apple tonight? >> i can tell you, millions of

americans here in the big apple and all across the country are gathering to celebrate this great country and america's birthday. we're here along the east river where people are gathering for the macy's fireworks show. you can see people piling in here. they've been showing up all evening long, some of them decked out in red white and blue to show off their patriotic spirit. i caught up with a few of them. here's what they had to say. >> i love it! yes. beautiful. >> what i love most about it is the variety of people, the freedom we have, and the ability to communicate and have everybody, you know, be united. >> all over the country as people got together to celebrate the fourth, many of them gathering after watching parades. on the west coast near the beach, family and friends gathered for the 13th annual santa monica fourth of july parade. many of them cooling off at the beaches nearby as they do on the west coast. a lot of them hanging out and

just partying and enjoying all of their great time. and back here out east, got to tell you, there was the iconic nathan's hotdog eating contest as you mentioned, he had 63 hot dogs, i don't know where all that food goes 15th time winning it. this happened just hours here before people gathered along the east river for the macy's fireworks show. >> i'm so excited because i love seeing fireworks and they're just beautiful in the sky. >> i just think it's really -- i love america, we vacation here quite a lot anyway and i just love the way you all come together on occasions like this. >> okay, so as you can see just a lot of people proud of this great country showing off their american pride, their spirit. showing off how happy they are to celebrate the freedoms that we have here and again as you

can take a look here along the east river, so many people showing up, just excited to be here. i can't wait to see the fireworks show. so many people proud and excited hear in the big apple and all across the country. back to you. >> christina so good to have you in new york city, great reporting out there. don't go anywhere, more of our independence day celebration when we return including a trip to santa monica pier for the fourth of july with jimmy failla. the 4th of july with jimmy. >> reporter: if you could >> if you could go to any celebrity's new jersey party who would you go to. >> snoop. >> snoop's fourth of july party. >> reporter: snoop's fourth of july party.

memorial day to labor day they do what they call a parade which is a ceremony out on this parade deck, a term we use in the marine corps and it's amazing, the silent drill team we sent a camera out there and let's take a look. i'm real proud of it. >> good evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the oldest in the core. tonight the marines who have this haloed ground. >> this is the first time. >> ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ >> everyone's favorite part of the parade is the platoon they perform everything without cadence and their whole marching sequence is done silently.

>> a whole schoolhouse 16 hour days for a month straight and from that we take about 15 20 freebl that. it's very taxing because we go over the routine at least three to four times before we come out and do the performance so no mistakes are made when we come out on the field. >> it's very rewarding being able to represent the marine corps is probably one of the best things you can do. >> lawrence: that brings back some memories a beautiful place. >> but eighth and i also have the marine band and the president's own, i love the marine band i remember dancing with my daughter to frozen at the white house christmas party. they bring so much joy and

happiness to so many people. >> joey: amazing, the silent drill team the marine band and some of the ceremonial guards from around live or work there. so we always hear about the tomb of the unknown soldier but the burial team each service has one of those they perform burials in arlington for the marines, or whichever service, when a marine is killed in action marines bury that person there and those guys could start on the offensive line for pittsburgh steelers. >> and thank you to lieutenant olson. he is an absolute rock star. >> lawrence: i love how in sync those men and women are marching together. all of our military really but the marines always in unison together. >> joey: we have the best looking uniforms so we like to show it off. >> lawrence: you're not going to get me in trouble i. >> carley: there are people from other branches watching. >> joey: others agree.

the united states marine corps and a place i recently traveled to camp pen ton in california to visit the first eod company, where the bomb text are and i had a chance to reunite with some of the guys i served with in afghanistan over a decade ago getting their take on the true meaning of service and sacrifice. let's take a look. ♪♪ >> been ten or 12 years since we were all deployed together and that was one of the hardest deployments or that time frame ever for this job. and here we are 12 years later, you guys are still wearing the badge. >> we adapted so quickly because we were scared. we saw the effects of ieds and how fast they proliferated. >> it's a problem solver. >> little bit of alpha because you're proud of doing your job and you do wear a badge and you do -- when everybody else is going backwards you're going forwards into it and that's it. >> very similar to the fire

department in a lot of ways but i think what may be a little bit different is eod neutralizes explosive in order to collect information that leads to some type of targeting cycle. >> that's what i think makes us a little bit different. >> joey: so we were there with about 80 marines i think on that deployment total with our two platoons together. eight of them were killed in action. that's 10%. that's not counting i don't know how many of us were severely wounded. 100% volunteer. >> correct. >> joey: why do you want to be an eod tech. >> originally for 9/11, i was in college at the time. saw the world trade centers go down and i decided that that is what i was going to do. i think it's one of the very few jobs that you can do everything, you know, right. do everything by the book. but you still -- you can still be at high risk for something going wrong, something that you didn't anticipate. there's just about a million things that can go wrong.

>> joey: when you talk about this job being dangerous, why is it fun? why do you enjoy it? >> well, one you get to blow things up. two, everything's a thinking problem, it's a threat analysis. so it's like somebody who likes doing puzzles. >> what's going on in ukraine right now, you see it just on the news, guided missile in somebody's living room. who's going to deal with that. so that's pure eod work, right? >> joey: the movie top gun just came out, the second one, maverick. and i've always told people, the one thing about the first movie i liked was the volleyball scene the reason why is most people they see that scene and see good looking men with their shirts off but what they don't see is a community doing something that is not work-related but is very much to important to doing the job and being a team. the whole movies, both are about

people learning to work well together really is what it is. you have a volleyball court here. what's the culture of eod that people who maybe have watched top gun can understand? >> the volleyball pitt is critical to building comradery. guys screaming and yelling and hollering and slinging insults to get them off their game. so you build community on any field you play on and that volleyball is a way to release the steam. >> would you call yourself a hero? >> nope, not by any stretch of the imagination. >> would you call him one? >> i would call him one but he wouldn't like that. >> would you call yourself a hero? >> negative. >> would you call him one. >> no? >> from what he allowed us to do i would. >> this is a family. we really are linked in a -- we're linked very closely i think because of the things we deal with, the things we've get with in the past. families are tight, marines are tight. and it's -- it truly is a community made of pretty

intelligent and, i don't know, special people. >> joey: what are some of the other things in the building we might look at today that memorialize the sacrifice and the guys we knew that aren't with us anymore. >> i would definitely say the rose garden. we have a rose for everybody we've lost in eod, essentially a brick or plaque with it. >> it does tell a story. what it doesn't do is it doesn't tell the story of our injured marines. these are the ones that gave the ultimate sacrifice. understanding that, if we were to place a rose for every marine that suffered some type of, you know, physical or mental injury of the war, there wouldn't be enough space in the rose garden. >> joey: got me a little bit. those two men, the baldheaded guy drew with the mustache, that was my boss. he was just becoming an officer. and the other guy matt, he did my post class, he picked me pieces up off the battlefield. that's how well i knew those two men they also trained me as the

new guy going into war. real quick on the volleyball court, you saw that. that was a brand new building, when we deployed in 2010 we left from a condemned building that wasn't supposed to be used in 30 years. that built that building when we were gone and moved them back into it and that volleyball court was a really pretty parking lot and the first thing the eod techs did was made it a volleyball court. that tells you everything you need to know about eod. >> carley: we got a little bit of a sense of it in your piece but just elaborate on the comradery that you feel with somebody after you serve together and go through something traumatic like you did. >> joey: the marine eod community is really spvenlth you have to go in as an e five. you have to be 25, if you're married you have to have a signed letter of permission from your spouse. you can only volunteer into it. they can't tell you to do it. you have to be a sergeant to go in it or eligible, so you have

to be in the marine corps for a while because it's such a high stress job. what happens is there were only 285 when i went in, now there's still way less than a thousand and it is dangerous because you could die wednesday on a range in camp pen ton not just combat and the way you relieve that is we were sitting in a bar that's in the unit where they work. it's a memorial but also functional. when i was serving and we were at war all the time if you came to work and turned around the corner and the beer lamp had been lit by theened canning officer everybody had a job to go get burgers go get beer and we were going to drink beer eat a burger and celebrate the life we lost for the rest of the day no matter what was on the schedule. we'll make up for it tomorrow, tomorrow night. that's the marine corps i left. it's a much different military now. but that's what i served 20 years taking bombs apart every single day, deploying every 12 months. i got to be in it for a few years, but they're my heroes i. >> lawrence: yoy real quick sorry kayleigh.

>> kayleigh: you mentioned you lost 10% of your unit in one deployment underscoring this amazing sacrifice but we're only here to celebrate because of that. >> lawrence: i was curious what was it like reliving that moment? >> joey: real quick this one was super special because they're both at the top now and we started at the bottom kind of together with our rank. they're about to retire out. so it was closing the last page of an important chapter of my book. >> carley: wow i'm sure they loved having you back too. and i loved the moment when you asked them if they thought they were a hero and then the other person because no veteran wants to be called a hero and every one is. after the break helping veterans heal through song, a marine puts to music in nashville. and later kayleigh takes us to connecticut for an all-american fourth of july. ♪♪

love this, this is an organization called create a vet which pairs military members with incredible singers and songwriters and allow american heroes to express their war story through song it is to help them heal through music and i traveled to nashville to meet with second lieutenant clifford mcmahon and country music star cameron marlow. check it out. >> i was raised by my single mother. i was with my four brothers and sisters. i had to take a lot of responsibility raising my brothers and sisters. and eventually i actually ended up running away when i was about 13, i ended up moving from house to house with friends and i eventually settled in with my girlfriend at the time my now wife and when i graduated high school, i could have went to college but i decided i wanted to join the marine corps and i went to booted camp about a month after i graduated high school. >> carley: i think that a lot of people in your shoes would be bitter or angry but you used

those challenges to motivate you. where does that come from? >> growing up it was definitely hard but still no matter what happened to me i always felt like i could truly do anything and i a contributed that to america and the opportunities that we have and i wanted to serve and preserve that for any future generation and for my own kids. >> carley: what was your combat experience? are there any specific days that stand out. >> my company was like the main effort of the battalion. we got into fire fights almost every day. >> carley: wow. >> i kind of think about like on one of my longest days that i was there, probably, you know, 18-hour days, we actually took a pause and found out we were actually right on top an of an ied that happened to not be plugged in at the time. >> carley: my gosh just by the grace of god. >> we got lucky but i think about the best day, we went to a compound knocked on the door and they invited us in. all the men were in the court yard and there were children running around super happy.

>> carley: what do you want the song to be about. >> i want this song to be about no matter where you come from you can make it here and with that, the sense of service as well and the sacrifice that comes along with it. >> carley: it's a beautiful story. and maybe it could help other people. >> yeah. >> carley: who hear this song along the way going through those difficult times as well. >> definitely. >> carley: all right. well, are you ready to meet cameron marlow? >> no, i'm a little nervous but excited. >> carley: cameron and wyatt two of the best there are in country music right now so so cool of you to take some time to do this. you just heard cliff's story and now you have to turn it into a song. one of the things that i personally thought was incredible about your story is just how you turned something bad into something positive. >> make sure that we absolutely encapsulate your story and your feelings and thoughts and make sure that we nail those, that's what we're going to fight for today and we're going to get it done. >> maybe if we can do about the family sacrifice. >> at the time my wife was

pregnant when i was deployed, i found out she was pregnant a week before i left and that was really on my mind a lot when i was over there. >> carley: cameron is there anything that stood out specifically about his story that you want to hit on in terms of lyrics or anything like that. >> definitely. the way you just kept going when life had had its time with you man that's one thing i want to make sure we get there. we want to make sure we see your passion and what you stood up and keep fighting. >> we had this idea it would just be called the hell they will. won't be able to live this free ain't no way you or me will ever go through half as much as the hell they will. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ boy trade his life for some camo and some boots, leave his family
