Retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink posted a fiery reading of Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech that quickly went viral prompting calls for him to run for office.
Timeless message from the past: Encouragement and strength to those who stand and fight for the cause of freedom. A warning to the tyrants and their agents who seek to subjugate free people. https://t.co/dmws6y3kwj

Willink did not explain what inspired his rendition of Henry’s iconic 1775 speech, but it was widely understood to rebuke the ongoing government overreach concerning coronavirus restrictions and mandates.
The decorated Navy veteran appeared to recite the speech from MEMORY, emphasizing certain phrases that are alarmingly relevant to the tyrannical times we’re living in now.
The speech Willink recited exhorted Americans to take a stand against government tyranny or they’ll cede their rights to power-hungry bureaucrats forever.
Justin Trudeau, liberal prime minister of Canada, took the extraordinary step invoking that nation’s Emergencies Act to stop peaceful trucker demonstrations against his draconian vaccine mandates.
Ironically, the “vast majority” of Canadian truckers are vaccinated but oppose FORCED vaccinations as a violation of bodily integrity and personal freedom.
Trudeau’s administration then went a step further by suspending insurance on protesters’ trucks and freezing their bank accounts.

Like other liberals, Trudeau gleefully wields unfettered government power to silence his political opponents.

You have two choices; liberty or Biden.
Willink and another Seal, Leif Babin, wrote “Extreme Ownership.” They’re equally awesome storytellers. Very good to see him out there. He has experiences that no man should have had to endure, but he’s a true warrior for it.

Someone should send the speech to the Canadian Truckers.. heroes of our time.
Thanks for the link to Jocko and also this splendid poem.
Piss off you limp wristed jackhole. How DARE I ask that the GOP actually stand up for the principles they claim to want to champion.
If you RINO sh*t bags can’t do the job, stop selling out to the Democrats. Idiots like you, Romney, Cheney, Graham, Kinsinger...
You are all cut from the same Quisling cloth.
Is the book still in print, and worth a read for others, want to reveal the name/ISBN?
Other than sitting in the stadium throwing rotten tomatoes at people in the arena, what are YOU doing to make our party stronger?
Trudeau and Biden are totalitarian thugs... trying to play citizens for fools.
It’s titled “Liberty!: The American Revolution” by Thomas Fleming. It was the companion book to the PBS series of the same name. I never watched the series. I belong to a book swap site and someone posted it, so I grabbed it. It’s a large, heavy paperback book...coffee table size. Fleming has written many other historical books, including other books on the war, and its leaders.
I donate time and money to my Rep (Tom Emmer). I’ve supported other local GOP conservatives for their runs... but in Minnesota.. It’s a tough go.
My point stands... What good is it to do any of that when idiots like MNJohnny, Romney, McConnell sell us out?
The Left doesn’t have this problem. The more lunatic the better. On our side? DeSantis, Trump. Noem, Paul, etc... all catch sh*t from the flying RINO squad.
Like the NRA, I give money to them... Just not as much as I give to MNGOCRA, SAF, or the GOA...
Thanks
