This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast. Today, I am joined by Staff Sergeant Joey Jones.

Many of you know him from Fox News, but we're going to be talking about his upcoming book,

Beyond the Badge, answering the call to serve on America's Homefront.

And the book officially releases on June 17th.

Joey, thank you so much for coming on.

to hear something really good. And then you're like, no, he turned out to be a total jerk.

So it just reinforced what we all thought. Yeah, it's, you know, sometimes I feel like I look back

and it's like, man, it's a little bit forrest Gump like in my life where I just, you know,

wrong place, wrong time, or connecting

with someone while something's going on.

And with the whole Colin Kaepernick thing, you know, my buddy Nate Boyer connected us,

and it did feel very genuine.

Nate was an Army Ranger, and after that, he played for the Seattle Seahawks for a preseason,

not in the regular season.
