it's like that where he ended up living in the work for year we're going to scott on a bus to does that we get on we appreciate it thank you but yeah closure huge fan for a long time. always fly in like brother you about to get on the flight or did you just get off the flight was it was a paranoid city or what was it like on the plane i mean it's quiet it's you know it's it's light but there's people i've i haven't stopped flying. back and forth to mexico a few times during this nonsense but. it's great i mean it's you know wish there was you know flights more options tell me about your new pharaoh outcomes. yeah well you know you said it very pointedly there. really was you know incredible circumstances these people yes but under. you know i mean i can only

imagine the stress level. that doesn't stop until you get home and i've always been fascinated by these stories true stories that it really examines that examines these these really tough times. this one in particular happened in 2009 in afghanistan in the valley of kamdesh an area kamdesh in afghanistan. it really just it's all of a group of guys of 50 or so guys too and they're at this hour is this remote outpost but that was the peano by all accounts street running a terrible terrible time to live. and trust we sort of knew it. and many people spoke up and said this isn't a good position for times and things warmachine sort of just overlooked 'd it in and it's like you know what happened was there was one of the bloodiest battles in afghanistan for almost 24 hours and what they were that years in extreme

heroism. and it incredibly true sure. you know when you when you come to work with shane scott and such an apt descriptor because that's what it is it's a big and eggs force through the folly of man that gets pushed down a hill and then the people on the point are young bad asses who you know every time i've talked to a soldier i've met a couple who. i hadn't quite read right but the camaraderie they felt superseded all the madness of it all the. danger of it the the ability of one of those 50 to be with the other 50 it seemed like the very life blood of the whole yeah. you know it that's what's interesting about the stories you know sure do i play. one of the men who who received the medal of honor yes clint romesha a but the story is about everyone who was there and everyone. who sacrificed

because certain guys you know received medals and certain people didn't but they were all there just the same and that camaraderie that you speak about is what kept them together what kept them alive what kept them or pushed them to to it in the face of almost certain death. to really say. that we're going to win. tell me who are coming the rudiments for story itself the battle itself we're talking about 50 men i assume and a world class hall way up there and tell me my client or tell me i'm usually we're just making rational medal of honor when are we i've met the code of hiring is still alive but usually it's it's to seems tell us the story of clanton the other man. sure. but never met actually but i've spoken to on the phone.

he is a very humble man he is. and you know i've read this book extensively. see is that he's a man who. it at the very core doesn't believe he's better than anyone he believes he's you know his job and his. part in this whole thing was to serve his country was his his family was a family of people in the service. everyone in his brothers to his father his grandfather. and he you know when you'd speak to him you really hear in his voice that he doesn't you know he doesn't even you know he doesn't want that burden. and caring. really is the. day nobody wants to they're there and they're unequipped completely to receive the praise almost they're so sheepish about it you have to make it brief and to the point and

let them know that you're not doing it in a cursory sense because they cannot sit in that sort of fawning that's not why they're the guys they are that's not why they're the guys who save the world for us . yeah well said. what what were the exact. layout of the battle that there are tell me why why would something there it's sort of like the end tatum of afghanistan i believe it's the bloodiest battle there it's one that i have not even heard about i fear remember tell us about the details of the battle. and how it played out. yeah it was. you know it was in a fishbowl really at the bottom of. these these mountains that completely surrounded the outpost which you know from the from a tactical perspective should have never happened it just was a boil suck up on all accounts it should have never happened. and.

you know it happened it happened that it had happened many times before this actual battle so there was many skirmishes many contact points where the afghans were testing them and testing our response to this so when it finally did happen it took a 3rd in 2009 it was very well kratz they had come in with almost $400.00 insurgents and they had they had been testing them for over a year and so they really knew their countermeasures well our countermeasures and it just didn't quit and then to add to this battle we had we had difficulty with with weather and in air support during the time of the battle so that really created a just. you know

a confluence of events at the same time that normally maybe we could've suppressed this but it it just it ultimately you know that it was a perfect storm. how many men walk away from that group of 50. there was. 8 passed away. during that day and what is that that's 42 it was written by jake tapper which amazed me i've always i've talked to jake many times over the years and i did not know he had even written a book but the talk to jake at all did he give me any insight. i did jake you know jake and i had spent time there he wasn't there during that day but he you know after he had been out there and spent that time there i think it compelled him to you know after seeing him been there and after seeing what happens to compelled him

to write the story and it is interesting i you know i wouldn't pay jake tapper when i see him on c.n.n. to write this book but i think to a great job and you know he's just a really nice fellow and we had a great. great talks we even consider relationship came out to austin texas to visit me after filming and we've got some barbecue down there so. once a man breaks barbecue with your best days for a lie i like the fact too little a lot of guys were veterans of the battle in 2009 they also turned up in a film right. yeah that's true we had a genuine rodrigues who was there and he played him self which was which is pretty interesting we had. we had a bunch of other veterans and people there who may not been there on the day that

this battle took place but you were there either you know 6 months prior or 'd you know were there is a year before that so in and then we had tight part or was there as one of our military consultants 'd through the filming. so you had a lot of help. you know guys like rodriguez and carter must look at the odd side your old man and a few other people film sets can sometimes get a little sucky and a little whiny some people run a tight ship or they keep moving along but i think can you imagine when the rodriguez and carter hears stuff like we've got to flip it we're for going to night shooting tonight we're going to flip it i'm not going to be in there just look at your brother i'm missin the whole 400 cashews have a good one thing about the craft service table. true story you know i will say and i will give a lot of the guys that worked on this film a lot of credit everybody showed up and they showed up with humility they showed up

ready to tell the story and and there wasn't really there wasn't any bichon you know which was incredible i've worked on film sets there have been in this was it was about doing this story justice in ordering these men. there you go if you're going to be the inner alaka tour folks on timeless heroes you your karma would just be so bad if you came in with the wrong intention i'm glad to hear that the film we're talking about is the outpost and. scott eastwood is the actor in play staff sergeant clint romesha it is hitting theaters and v o d on july 3rd once again the outpost not just for the outpost and when we come back we'll talk to god about he's got a clothing brand too maybe he's wearing one of the shirts there and also just talk

about acting in general how things gone seems like a good cat scotties what this is dennis miller plus one. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. the one guy up here he was a may found him literally dead like this standing up there a guard appeared his girlfriend they were found in their apartment that they just got. cold and they were dead for like 3 days holding each other this was so people who have lost their life's early to addition yeah this is from akron. that crown is better known as the meth capital and i'm high and it's

a city where the number of drug addicts keeps growing every year. i came up when i was 14 in my whole family were drug addicts who. throughout much of the 1990 s. and beyond and the doctors were incursion in some cases incentivized to overprescribe. i mean enough to sedate a small country why you should also hear about people by all that's the good stuff man we gotta go get dad dead go crazy get your life you know what are you doing. and they are still coming you know one after the next. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision that has shattered lives every song came to a complete. the day that i was raped to be instructed here you know told to shut up but they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life many screamed at me and he made me come in the gram my arm and he write me with his birthing curia if you take

into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted. in the u.s. military rape is a very very traumatizing tapping but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting grief is more likely to get the victim punished than the offender behind and almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. is you'll media a reflection of reality. in

the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson nation will community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by doing. what is true what's his face. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. the back we're done it's more work plus we're joined by scott eastwood nice enough to jump into a coffee shop in our port and pick up their wife i've never been mad committed to the interview. a lot of people get but i'll drive a throw mall and i can hear you got

a no doubt. tell me about the clothing that they were or what i like this idea at the very micro id i always admired how micro honors the. the working man in america this has a little temper that tell me about the clothing brand made here. sure to tell you the impetus for the whole thing was. you know just looking around in our in our country and look at a round of what i buy personally and and everything you know it seems that. it is outsourced and that bugs me not that there are great products elsewhere and there are but i think this idea of localizing. localizing to your neighbor to somebody who might live next to you might you know need that job if it's it just seems like we had one of the greatest manufacturing capabilities in the world at one point and we still do in i think we should

celebrate american workers and celebrate american goods i think if anything this this pandemic has showed us just now that it's time that we received. making goods for cheaper just because we can. and really keeping the bloodline of our economy going by driving jobs back and celebrating the people that were trying. to talk a wartime footing quite frankly when you get the american economy. and the war you get the american we talked earlier about the war machine when you get the american economic machine going when they've got their eye on the prize nobody when we start pouring together the oars but it cuts through the water like america so i'm glad to hear that that was the pitch be our the the idea behind it isn't just to to just jump in alone you have

a right here dummy are the financing set up and all that. no no i have a partner have a great year there's a call and. dean chapman is a serial entrepreneur. and you know we just we were very much aligned on our own are thinking about this by the way the brand is called made here. probably she give it a plug and you know right now we are primarily selling socks boxers and some apparel goods but we have plans to. to move into other sectors and create you know goods and and then partner with the brands that are already here manufacturing companies that are already here doing great products and and continue the growth and. i like the idea over there. too to accompany the bread and once again as scott said the clothing brand is made here at tell me about your end of day series yeah no you know just. we know we're always talking about how the

markets things and how to. value add to a custom right not just ask somebody to buy something you know i think that's cheap and i think if you can value add or give somebody content provide something with information that's in or taining that's great and so loose said you know what do we do in america let's start showing people what we actually do and so we decided to be really cool to create a series of ground that all things in a day so we would you know dissects. on a macro level. you know to do what we do in different sectors of our economy. and show how we do things or 1st episode that we were. able to get it going that us nimitz which is an incredible experience. we got to really show you know how an aircraft carrier. in

a day. that's an absolutely great idea and it gives you so many options to associate the brand with the true american star i absolutely. we love that that is a great value at the end of day series once again the clothing brad is made here and we're talking to scotty spaceward who is the head of the made here promise. tell me about everybody knows about that and you must do a 1000 interviews in your life but i got to give up your dad you're probably in debt tell me about your mom i think you raised with your mom in hawaii right. thanks for asking the not a lot of people ask that so it's i always say that sometimes people ask that you say you know what don't you could last so they don't ask about my mom and that's you know. i think of the dad things the low hanging fruit for people but my mom etc and say. yeah you know my dad my mom is she's an

incredible woman and she she's. completely selfless probably probably to a fault. or fault but son she i mean i'm she she raised me mark in hawaii like you said which was an incredible life experience. getting to grow up there was you know. you know a brick lesson getting to be and to to really be in nature and to form of love for the ocean for love for you know just just the country really. i grew up there and age 8 to 16 and i say what grew up in hawaii. as a white boy is. it was it it was interesting it was. yes how we really you know but it was just it was a great experience. that will give you our no commitment record because you know.

toughen you up for i don't know what brings him to the mainland that's 16 what do you want to pursue acting or what grabbed you. i think. you know growing up in hawaii incredible life experience but like any any small town you have. to see something bigger and experience new things. highland fever rather so you get the you get to hollywood are i don't know maybe you went to carmel i know. i know your old man was mayor up there with the boy talk about beautiful places scotty you've gone from hawaii to a car to the most beautiful places on the other side of the lot of you recognize my throat events lead you reckon. brother when i think of you out there every day which i got 18 mile drive it's it's like woody guthrie it's absolutely brutal the

arms go black existence. listen it's. you over at cypress point having a carry 2 bags we'd move. back to the to do a nice course something. no you know i was always fascinated with. i can't say that i always knew of one that or or. even at times still do but i do love still i think. telling stories creating a parts that affects people moves people either to tears or laughter is. something that's. really is just you know it's it's a beautiful thing in life and life would be sort of both out art without music without film without you know without the arts and so i was always fascinated with

this idea of storytelling and then you know growing up watching my father. tell these incredibly stories i remember i remember them squares day it was 10 years old or so and. i was so. it was watching unforgiven and it's the moment when when he's telling young young schofield kid that. you know we all got it coming kid. and i just remember going to this hell of a movie and just thinking that's what i mean. listen i thought the mount rushmore great westerns was close with john ford and the searchers and stuff like that but your father came along later and that is a that's one we'll talk about for the rest you know the westerns they might not be in vogue at any given moment but they are timeless it'll stay around forever and that's one of them so yeah he said listen i'd like it like

a set i want to talk about you i'll talk about your career but boy that i didn't see those director chops time and i mean i didn't know him from adam but then i watched him in the surgical young things and you watch him early in the cow and things and then your thing and boy what an artist he turned out to be amazing good for him you have been a director. you look at it it's even crossed that bridge yet but i mean yes yes i do only because it you know it's you you know they're doing this for 1617 years now and it's at a certain point you just. you see what you like and you see what you don't and you say well if i ever got a shot. i do it that way. melissa man you should do a film about the kid over your right shoulder because i think it's max headroom.

you know you know you know to sit here dennis miller is right here. and there were it was a movie you know that even right there hey listen when we started to run we got some social media questions and nancy right on facebook wants to know and i don't know if this is your creed election dude you'd want to do a comedy and it looks like action and obviously this one here is a true tale of. a sacred or about comedy you want to do comedy at some point under a 100 percent of the sudden i got to do it a very small comedy early in my career that no one should ever see but. it really gave me the bug and i said that is a hell of a time film and something like that it's so so on every day you show 2 were crying laughing that i ever got a chance you know i would i would jump at it so i you know i've been trying but we're trying to put some together luke wilson and i actually got

a script with the other right now it was pretty pretty darn funny so we'll see how listen talk about films that will last forever tell luke idiocracy. officially one of my favorites. we're talking to scott eastwood and he has a film coming out called the outpost he plays a decorated war veteran and it is hitting theaters and g.-o. d. on july 3rd also has a clothing line it sounds like they're doing it the right way it's called made here and also look for the accompanying as he called it the ad. in a day series it's all of us want to be. in a day on an aircraft carrier the mini nimitz and it sounds like you did great way to co-mingle the van and the people who might wear the brad scott to use would folks in the film is the outpost july 3rd look for thank you scott british it it's been done a spiller plus one. we

go to work so you stay home.

you kinda go with the yeah you like. purpose of history is to understand. understanding the present and future history. because a lot of history is to change so how should we find the right. to life. seemed wrong when old rules just don't hold. any. to shape our disdain comes to. and indeed from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart if we choose to look for common ground.
