The Hugh Hewitt Show

Rorke Denver, a SEAL commander whose role in the film Act of Valor and his book Damn Few have made him one of the most in-demand speakers in America, was a SEAL Team Three colleague of Chris Kyle, and Denver writes about the movie, the controversy and his brother-in arms in today’s Wall Street Journal.  Don’t miss it.

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and the Telegraph has an aggregator of stories related to the anniversary.

CT: Well, I know, I’ve heard that basically, that this is the meeting, though, is what I heard, that this is the big one, that this is the sort of, while he may not say what his decision is, it is being used as sort of the meeting to say okay, guys, what are we doing? Continue Reading
