Mr. Willink reads the part of Patrick Henry's speech delivered on March 23, 1775 where he addressed the Virginia House of Burgesses just after the Boston Tea Party (part of the text was taken from https://sites.psu.edu/rclkrupski/2012/09/29/patrick-henry-give-me-liberty-or-give-me-death/).

Wow, hearing Jocko read that was terrifying.  I'm glad that he's getting the message out to a whole new group of people. Good for him!

Personally, I like the one in Appleseed Academy. To be fair, though, I'm biased. I've heard Morpheus recite that speech in person a few times (without using a script, no less!), and it's a show-stopper. If you really like telling history and want to up your game to top-tier status, try your hand at reading that speech in front of your students. It's great for creating a break on day 2.

Just maybe don't read it like Jocko. You might need to peel the students off the ceiling.
