Got his opposition to president Obama's policies but was then forced to resign as a navy -- now he's talking now what happened.

And what he thinks our country needs to do going forward former -- -- On author of the book battle on the homefront call -- -- joins us now -- car off a beta -- -- -- and -- you started writing this -- -- started speaking -- about what you thought was wrong -- actually -- was wrong with the president's direction.

You I did not promote the book is it any surprise of the military said you can't see it US navy seal.

Lawyer criticizing the president's and then it wasn't a real surprise.

-- Knew -- was gonna reach some sort of objection from them but I figured person and would prevail and reports I was wrong to let it enlisted in the military at the end of the First Amendment sometimes is -- by here.

You -- what you have to do as you're duty if all service men and -- sort of speaking out against their commander in chief this system would break down.

Absolutely but that's in keeping with the fact of the commander -- should.

Should keep in high standards of the constitution and he should fight for what is best for America and when he does and I believe that it is the military duty to defend against all enemies foreign and domestic.

But now you're able to say what you want to say and you're able to do it in this book.

What were the things that you couldn't do then what you want to tell America about what went wrong.

I mean we need -- first and foremost as I said in April when I was back on with you guys -- We need to.

Bring our spending down and that is a that is a big problem and that is probably one of our greatest national security risk our president is.

Driving this country into a hole and mean people like me through this book are saying.

-- present Obama we will not -- you destroy this country and will defend it with any and all means necessary.

-- -- his blessing to bring down the spending that's a battle cry no pun intended that you hear all the time was it worth leaving.

The US had -- believing in navy seal that sort of a lead group to just talk about that would in this part of the national discussion.

I mean like -- said we put our myself and my teammates and guys still do put their life on the line to defend these things and if were risking our national security back at home what what are we fighting for.

You have some tips in this book on what you say this country needs do to get back on track one.

Worry about affected.

Worried stop worry about who was offended and worry about who is affected who are we talking about here.

In general it's become morally wrong to call anybody out for anything doing anything wrong.

So what we need to do is when you start thinking about hate long term this is gonna affect a lot more people if we just offend a few people right now.

I ER entitlement program sorry we can't afford it.

If that offends you OK but the country can't afford it so it's gonna -- -- -- -- -- at this time you say put people.

Ahead of politics.

Where you mean by that absolutely are.

We must think about how people are going to be affected.

Instead of how the politics are gonna work on Capitol Hill because that's one of our biggest problems.

-- -- -- the future in politics but -- -- -- more.

Yes some actually.

I'm trying with the proceeds of this book I'm thinking of new ways to generate jobs with the proceeds that I make from it.

So it sounds like you our interest in politics and solving that that's the direction that you think you make more of an impact.

Absolutely that's something I definitely want to go into it -- -- And also doing us a separate career before -- country before career you think -- politicians today are not doing absolutely both sides of the -- They're putting their personal power -- personal wealth in front of what the wellbeing is for we the people.

Well Karl maybe again but his battle on the home front thanks much for coming in and get it on -- Amazon.com safe --
