=== America's Forgotten Heroes (02:59) ===

[00:00:00]  [MUSIC]
[00:00:05]  America needs more heroes, so the Daily Wire is providing some.
[00:00:08]  Our newest podcast, America's Forgotten Heroes, is available now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts, so go subscribe and leave a five-star review if you like what you hear.
[00:00:16]  America's Forgotten Heroes contains seven action-packed episodes that will each drop daily.
[00:00:21]  Our goal with these stories is to give recognition where it's due, because too many of them have faded into the obscurity of the past, which is unfair and unwarranted.
[00:00:29]  America's Forgotten Heroes is a trip That takes you back in history to a time where language wasn't literally violence, where brave men paid in blood for the freedom that many used to complain about microaggressions and pronouns and things today.
[00:00:43]  One such man was Ernest E. Evans, a World War II naval officer who fought in the Battle of Sumar.
[00:00:48]  In the battle, a small U.S.
[00:00:50]  naval task unit was ambushed by a large Japanese fleet of 23 ships, hell-bent on destroying the American Navy.
[00:00:56]  Though almost completely unprepared, Evans and his men managed to attack the Japanese forces in one of the greatest last stands in naval history, and just a dramatic and incredible story, and a real-life story.
[00:01:07]  Or take Frank Luke, a 21-year-old fighter pilot in World War I. Young, talented, arrogant.
[00:01:13]  Luke sometimes butted heads with his peers and commanding officers, especially when he disregarded direct orders and occasionally tended to fly solo, but he secured a spot in history after shooting down 18 German aircrafts in 18 days.
[00:01:25]  That is what we call efficiency.
[00:01:27]  Now, two Air Force bases boast his name.
[00:01:29]  I seriously cannot recommend it enough.
[00:01:32]  Let's check out the trailer now.
[00:01:34]  Hi everybody, I'm Bill Whittle and I'd like to introduce you to seven men who have made this country so exceptional.
[00:01:39]  John Paul Jones, who sailed home from war 129 years after he sailed into it.
[00:01:44]  Frank Luke, the World War I fighter ace who drew his sidearm in a desperate situation.
[00:01:49]  Booker T. Washington, a man who came into the world as someone else's property and who left it with a foolproof formula for racial harmony.
[00:01:56]  Jimmy Doolittle, the perfect combination of brains, guts, and skill, running up his engines a long way from home.
[00:02:03]  Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, a man so profoundly wise that he could see the great wheel of history revolving around him in real time.
[00:02:10]  Ernest Evans, a U.S.
[00:02:12]  Navy commander who's vowed to never run away from the enemy, triggered the most amazing two hours in U.S.
[00:02:17]  history.
[00:02:18]  And Dick Rutan, combat pilot, test pilot, and the man who nailed the last standing record in aviation history, With a little help from his baby brother.
[00:02:27]  These are America's Forgotten Heroes.
[00:02:29]  And if you join me, I guarantee you will come out of these seven episodes as awestruck, proud, and grateful as I did.
