1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: How exactly did they do it? You go into a

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: foreign country, Venezuela, in the middle of the night, middle

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: of the morning, you shut the country off and go

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: get the president and his wife. You take them out,

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: put them on the uss Ewojima, then take them to

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: New York. No American deaths. It's unbelievable. It's almost like

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: no operation we've ever seen, although we kind of did

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: in Pakistan a Bahdabad. Remember that's when Seal Team six

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: winned and got Osama Bin Laden. The guy who got

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: in Laden, Rob O'Neil, friend of mine. You probably checked

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: out a show on Netflix. Now the operator I got

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: him on. He's going to come up in a couple

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: of seconds. Here he compares and contrasts what they did

14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: then to get the top wanted guy on the planet

15
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: to what they just did in Venezuela over the weekend

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: and the reaction both in Venezuela and here in the

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: United States. And if you know Rob, he doesn't pull

18
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: any punches. You're gonna love this interview. How much lead

19
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: up must there have been to get this operation up

20
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: and running and to say, okay, we're ready to do it.

21
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: Well, we're talking at least summer twenty twenty five. As

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: far as really space or yeah, space war and all

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: the smart stuff, the computer stuff they needed to dumb

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: it down for guys like me. They needed to be

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: able to have the intel to turn off Venezuela for

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: solid five hours while one hundred and fifty aircraft came in.

27
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: So they've been planning a long I mean, the agency

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: team that was working bin Laden was years before we

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: even found out about it, right, So I'm making an

30
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 2: educated guest. I wasn't involved in any of the planning,

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: but all of the stuff involved all the air frames,

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: all the ships, all the land bases. This was a

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: lot more complex. You're going to the Pentagon and they've

34
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: got Cubans fight, which they found out really quick. A

35
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: rule that I've always believed, even before I was in

36
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 2: the military, do not shoot at Delta Force. Just good,

37
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 2: good bits.

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: It's a good piece of advice. Don't shoot at Delta Force.

39
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: Okay, well yeah, someone said, someone asked me today, Hey,

40
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: if these elite Cubans fight against Delta Force, what would

41
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: that be like? So I could understand I would, I said,

42
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: Picture a grown man fighting an infant. That's what it's like. Wow, period,

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: and so they went and they showed it, don't shoot them.

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: They did, they got killed and then you know they

45
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: they went in and grabbed him and had him back here.

46
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: So the planning aspect, you know, they've been looking at

47
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: Maduro knowing he's running a cartel, knowing the drug boats,

48
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: knowing China's getting eighty percent of their oil from there.

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at the you know, the

50
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: most minute to the you know to like the minute

51
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: being high fives because we survived up to China is

52
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: now not going to invade Taiwan. This is a huge deal.

53
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: The United States is back. This is called peace through strength.

54
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: We're strongly yet I want to talk about that at

55
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: length in a moment, China and Taiwan, because I didn't

56
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: even think about that that aspect, But it makes a

57
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: lot of sense when you say it. It's Rob O'Neil.

58
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: So Rob, let's talk about what you told me last time.

59
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: You didn't know the target has been lauden until you

60
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: had to know the target has been laden. Did those

61
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: who pulled this off over the weekend know what the

62
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: what the plane was. They had to know it was Venezuela, right,

63
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: they had to know who they were going to get.

64
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: Yes, oh yeah, yeah, they had a compound already built.

65
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: I didn't see it, but when we did it for

66
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: bin Laden's house, it was basically two scale. The measures

67
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: were fine and even models down to the tree that

68
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: someone had made. You're going to know what it's like

69
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: and something like this. Yet I mean there's there's preparation

70
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: training sites for it. They were working on that for

71
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: a long long time. Yeah, they've known this a while.

72
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: We when I was a Coel Team six, we were

73
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: training to rescue South America Americans who were prisoners of

74
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: South America. Also build up Mottville has trained a lot.

75
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: But to have this training to get on the Ebo

76
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: Jima for example, and then to launch that, it's just

77
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: awesome with the capital A. Yeah, they knew they were going. Yes,

78
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: you can trust them for not leaking the information, especially nowadays,

79
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: But I mean you got to figure when when I

80
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: came out of in Laden's compound, there was a dude

81
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: out there live tweeting. He had a phone in his face,

82
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: and that just shows you that, you know, social media

83
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: wasn't then in twenty elevel what it is now. If

84
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: this gets like they didn't tell congress either side of

85
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: the aisle because if one staffer hears about this, mcguirrel's

86
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: not going to be there and stuff like that. So

87
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: the operational security, the op sect alone is so impressive

88
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: knowing about this mission. But these are professional soldiers. These

89
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: are Tier one operators. That and the pilots I mean

90
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: the Special Operations Aviation Regiments to t F one sixty.

91
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: They never get the proper credit because those without question,

92
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: I think guys at Seal Team six and at Delta

93
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: Force would agree with me. The TF one sixty is

94
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: the most professional soldiers ever. You know, seen those guys

95
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: will be anyone in the world plus or minus thirty seconds.

96
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: So to have that huge crew involved nothing against the leak.

97
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: And you're even talking with the like the wives and

98
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: the families back home in North Carolina, because these guys

99
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: are leaving they pretty much know what they're doing. This

100
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: is a very dangerous mission, brand new stuff. We don't

101
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: know if this technology works. Saying about their kids but

102
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: not telling their wives, I mean all around. Just it's

103
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: very exciting. Again, you know, it's it's not it's not

104
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: the it's not the San Francisco cartoon commercial. Growing up

105
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: with two moms, and I knew how to fight for justice.

106
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: This is Hey, here's a bunch of big dudes, cases

107
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: of guns and sledgehammers getting the helo.

108
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: It is h Rob O'Neil. Go follow them everywhere, mikhuyah,

109
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: it's mc h o O y a h on all

110
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: the social media. I follow him everywhere. Get his book

111
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: called The Operator, and also check out his podcast called Operator.

112
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: Just go to his website Robert J. O'Neil dot com.

113
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: You said they shut off Venezuela, Rob, They literally just

114
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: shut the power off. They just shut it all down

115
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: and for as long as they needed then turned it

116
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: on afterwards. How does that work?

117
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: I mean it seems like it like for a guy

118
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: like me that doesn't need to know all the intricate details,

119
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: we do have smart men and women that know how

120
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: to do it. And so the way that I describe

121
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: it is they just turn the light switch off. Because

122
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 2: you got to figure in Venezuela, they're dealing with Russian oil,

123
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: China oil. So there's Russian and China's air defenses first

124
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: world in there. You got to defeat those because you've

125
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: got you've got stealth bombers, yes, stealth fighters, yet then

126
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: you've got convention fighters, you got rotary ring to include

127
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: Blackhawks and ospreys. I don't want to be in one

128
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: of those, in their surface to air missiles. All of

129
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: that is in Venezuela, and they beat it. And those

130
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: are our those are our smart people. Those are those

131
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: are the uh, the people behind the scenes that you

132
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: never hear of. It's it's like you always hear about

133
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: the salesman. The tip of the spear is the way

134
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: it's put. You don't hear about the entire spirit the

135
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: people building these packages for decades years. Uh, the men

136
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: and women seven days a week, barely taking lunch breaks.

137
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: You know, they're the ones that found this. We're talking

138
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: patterns of life for a cocky president taunting the United States,

139
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: knowing most of our government is against what we're going

140
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: to do. It's it's just, I mean, it's it's literally

141
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: just uh it was it was. It was forty eight hours.

142
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: Everybody shut up. Let's let the men run run the country.

143
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: You know. It's it's funny you said that their wives

144
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: didn't know, their families, didn't know their children to the

145
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: So so what do you do You look at your

146
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: wife in the eye and say hey, honey'll be back

147
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: in two days.

148
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: Don't worry.

149
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: I probably I probably can't call, but I'll be back

150
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of days.

151
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: My personal experience, my daughter was three years old. I

152
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: had to leave to go out the vin laanener knowing

153
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: we were coming back, and I couldn't tell her where

154
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 2: I was going. She ran upstairs, you know I was leaving.

155
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: She brought down a Hello Kitty carry on with mister

156
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: Elephant and a pillow in it and said, well, when

157
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: you come home, you're taking me on vacation. I kissed

158
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 2: her goodbye for the last time. Those are conversations you

159
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: have with your kids. She's now in college.

160
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: Oh thank god. Yeah, and so I mean, honestly, you

161
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: you have that conversation, but you have to make them

162
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: understand and feel comfortable. Don't coming back. You didn't tell

163
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: her I'm not coming back, obviously, don't worry. I'll be

164
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: back in the days. It's like a business trip.

165
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: Well, it tells you, but it tells you about the

166
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: operator because they they're not gonna they're not gonna hurt

167
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: their wives, they're not gonna hurt their kids by telling them.

168
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: But in their heart they know this could be yet.

169
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: This could be the last time I see you, and

170
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: you have to do that. I mean, and think about

171
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: I mean, now we're talking about the wives. Think about

172
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: the wives. When I gave my my daughters a kiss goodbye,

173
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: I have that ten minute drive to cry my eyes

174
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: out if I want to on the way to the plane.

175
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: They got the kids looking up at them, and they

176
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: have to be strong, and they are what. We actually

177
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: had a name for him because we called Seal Team

178
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: six TF Blue, We had TF Night, t F Green.

179
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: We called the wives TF Pink because they're intel. I

180
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: was a lot stronger because they didn't have offerational security.

181
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: They can start talking and they're usually right. It is

182
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: no I mean talk about them. I mean the wives

183
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: you never hear about, and they put up with a lot.

184
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: There's there's a lot of sympathetic post traumatic stress dealing

185
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: with the operators coming back.

186
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: Well, there's a there's a huge amount of of of

187
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: sacrifice that they make. They know that going in, they

188
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: know what you do generally speaking. But at the same time,

189
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: you're right, we don't talk about them enough, and we

190
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: certainly should. It is Robert J. O'Neill go to Robert J.

191
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: O'Neil dot com. He's the guy that got bin laden

192
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: and get his book called The Operator, and also check

193
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: out the podcast Operator. What kind of people are people

194
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: like you?

195
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: Rob?

196
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: I like you. We've never met in person. I think

197
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: we'd get along great. At the same time, last time

198
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: I had John, there was a mindset thing going on.

199
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: You said, I'm gonna go to Mexico soon. I'll be

200
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: better later. What kind of guy are you? And are

201
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: all the people that are able to pull something off

202
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: like this like you? And I don't mean personality wise,

203
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: and I don't mean looks wise. I mean, but is

204
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: there something internal that I don't know about a guy

205
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: like you? About the people like the Army Rangers, they

206
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: just pulled this off that my audience would like to know.

207
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: What is it that makes you get up and go?

208
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: I would say simplicity and humility, the way that I

209
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: would describe a lot of the Yeah. I mean, yes,

210
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: there are the one percenter's break last in case of war,

211
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: But the majority of the dudes in there are guys

212
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 2: that just get it, and that's the only way I

213
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 2: can describe. And they just get it. They underst and

214
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: if you they screw up, they understand, they screw up,

215
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: they learn from it, then they get over it, and

216
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: that's just the process. And they're again going back to

217
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: the Binlaten raid when people say, wow, that was a

218
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: huge complex target. How did you do it? And I say, well,

219
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: if the guy in front of me went left, I

220
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: went right, and we did that over and over. And

221
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: that's what the guys are like. It's very humble, and

222
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: there a lot of them you'll never hear from. And

223
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 2: there these are guys that go to work every day.

224
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: When I worked at Seal Team six, I would wake up,

225
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: put both feet on the floor and be excited because

226
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: now I get to go to a place to work

227
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: with people who are better than me. And that's like

228
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: the attitude. And instead of like trying to trying to

229
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 2: hurt someone to take their position, you want to learn

230
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: why they're outperforming you. Everything from diet to training to

231
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: is it the gym first or the range? How what

232
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: are you doing? What do you eat when you go

233
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: to sleep, stuff like that, So it's I'm the And

234
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: then again just going back to my personal experience. One

235
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: day you're figuring out how you're going to afford the

236
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 2: mortgage because the military doesn't pay much. You're mowing your

237
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: own lawn. All of a sudden you get a page

238
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: that says you need to jump into the Indian Ocean

239
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: to rescue Richard Phillips right now, right and they're ready

240
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 2: to do. I mean this again, I feel like I'm

241
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: about fifteen years younger because I just feel like a

242
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: cool guy again, just just through the spirit of what

243
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: these gentlemen did.

244
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: Well, I can see that you're living vicariously through what

245
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: they did. But I mean it's not like I mean you.

246
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: You just seem to be the biggest cheerleader of all.

247
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: And look, I want to be there with you. I'm

248
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: so happy about what happened. I'm so happy there are

249
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: no Americans killed in this unbelievable action. But I mean

250
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: a guy who, like you said, hit the ground every day,

251
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to go work with the best of the best.

252
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you're You're like a proud dad right now.

253
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I know I know the well, like my

254
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: book the Operator, I'm not calling myself the operator. I'm

255
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: explaining the life of the operator and the operators everywhere,

256
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: and then the military, the operators, the marine, the range

257
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: of the green gray Delta, seal. But in the outside

258
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: is the men and women who don't get served any thanks.

259
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 2: The trash guys in Manhattan clean the whole city. They

260
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: wake up at two in the morning, no thanks, No

261
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: single mom is an operator. And this is I'm describing

262
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: the life of it. And these are the guys that

263
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: did it. And I say the guys that did it

264
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 2: because the shooters on the ground, the men and women

265
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: involved too with the process getting up to it like

266
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: Io and the pilots of women up there like this

267
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: is a team effort. And again, I guarantee you not

268
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: one conversation during the entire mission, with the thousands of

269
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 2: people involved, was h command climate race relations. Uh is

270
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: lomophobia crap brought up. We're all in uniform, we're all USA,

271
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: and we're going to kick your ass. That's what we do.

272
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: It's the media, is the politicians and the DC attorneys

273
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: that try to spin us up. It's the it's the

274
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: it's the white female attorney who's offended by the turn

275
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: Washington redskins crap like that, but not not. It's not

276
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: this weekend. That's USA. George Washington is smiling.

277
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I couldn't agree more. It's Rob O'Neil. Rob,

278
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: I've got to ask you about the actual operation. I

279
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: know you don't have, you know, intimate details on exactly

280
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: how they did and what they did. Uh, but but

281
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about it as an overview. Not long ago,

282
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: Maduro came out and said, well, you've got the best

283
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: air defenses on earth, and that's what you were talking

284
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: about with Cuba in China. Obviously we're protecting their Their

285
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: got the best air defenses on earth. They cannot do

286
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: what Trump is alleging he can do. And then he

287
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: went and did it. If I would have told you

288
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, we're going to go in get Maduro

289
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: and his wife, nor Americans die, gonna kill a bunch

290
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: of bad guys that were standing in the way, that

291
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: are doing really bad things to America by sending drugs

292
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: up and everything else, would you have believed that it

293
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: would have gone this smoothly. I know that you want

294
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: to believe it because it's the best of the best.

295
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: I get it, But generally speaking, you think to yourself,

296
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: something bad's going to happen, but it didn't. Would you

297
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: have thought that it would go this way.

298
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: If I was a senior and listed leader on that mission,

299
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: I would have prepared my men for a bloodbath. This

300
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: is gonna get really serious, really fast. And that's just

301
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: the way it's going to go because there's there's so

302
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: many complexities, everything from what a Cuba brigin. Are their

303
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: Russians there? We don't know what's in there. We don't

304
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: know if it. Like I said, the technology works, it

305
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: does work, we've we've trained on it, we've used it.

306
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: But will it work in something like this where he's

307
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: taunting us? And that's where I would come from as

308
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: a shooter on the ground. Now, considering the smart people

309
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: and the PsiOps going on, it could have been anything

310
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 2: from Maduro knows they're coming to get him, and he's

311
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: gonna spin it up to say something so that maybe

312
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 2: with a sweet deal we cut him. China and Rush

313
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: are afraid of us. I don't know what happened. I

314
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: am gonna just stick with Yeah, he dared us, and

315
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: then we came in and put a boot in his ass.

316
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's exactly what happened. He literally said come

317
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: and get me, and we did. What do you make

318
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: of the what do you make of the Cuban leader

319
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: coming out today and yesterday. He's the strong man. Now

320
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: where you're we're gonna get you back in the United States.

321
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: How do you do Is he just doing that for

322
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: to keep the people under control in his country because

323
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: he knows they're gonna rise up now, just like they're

324
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: rising up in Iran right now. So what do you

325
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: make of the Cuban guy?

326
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: Well, this is this is the way that we don't

327
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: want to get into regime change, but if we do,

328
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: we want to do it sort of like this. We

329
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: screwed it up before. You have bad pigs. You got

330
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: all the stuff in Grenate to South America. All that'suff

331
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 2: we've done. But they're afraid of the coup. This is

332
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: happening in Iran as well. Uh so they're gonna come

333
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: out rather their savers and do whatever if we can get.

334
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: The issue with a lot of the coups that we

335
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: try to set up is our media, because our media

336
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: will spin it up and then they shut down, especially

337
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: in Iran, when they rise up the you know, the

338
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: women's stop wearing the hit jobs or whatever they call him,

339
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: and the she is secked over there, then our media

340
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: turned often they starts slaughtering him. Boy, I'll tell you

341
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: what we invade Cuba, I might reenlist because I'm seriously

342
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: looking for some kick ass beach property.

343
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: It's some of the best of the planet, that's for sure.

344
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: It's Rob O'Neil.

345
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: We get great allies down there. Plus Cubans are awesome

346
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: and their food is great too, let's be real, you know.

347
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: And they've got all the cool American guy classic cars

348
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: from the nineteen fifties and sixties rolling the streets. It

349
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: is the operator. That's his podcast. Go go and check

350
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: it out. Rob O'Neil is the man. Let's talk about

351
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned Taiwan and China. I'm gonna give you a story.

352
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I told you this before. Rob. We

353
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: were in New York about a year and a half ago,

354
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: two years ago, and we got an uber. The uber

355
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: guy didn't speak any English. He was from China. My

356
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: daughter's from China, so he thought he could talk to her.

357
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: But she's an American kid. She doesn't know Chinese. But

358
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: I was using a translating program with the guy just

359
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: to be able to talk to him. His name was

360
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: Fang and he said, will you help us with Taiwan?

361
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: And I said, I don't know what you mean, well,

362
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: China needs to take Taiwan. So this guy obviously is

363
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: in the country, doesn't speak any English. He's clearly reporting

364
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: back to the Chinese government in Beijing, and he wants

365
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: to know if Americans agree with taking over Taiwan. And

366
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: they said, I'm not involved in any of that. I

367
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: think Taiwan's a separate country. You guys, do what you

368
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: want to do. I didn't want to engage the guy,

369
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: but that's really a mindset. And China's been waiting for

370
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: two or three years, maybe even longer than that, to

371
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: go in and do something with Taiwan. You mentioned earlier.

372
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: This is going to stop China from doing that? Why, well,

373
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: because of the oil. You're gonna need power.

374
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: You need power for your shifts to do an invasion,

375
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: amphibious landing, all that stuff too, and then you're gonna

376
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: need a whole bunch of power for all the new

377
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: AI technology and stuff like that. That's a real race too.

378
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: This is like World War four for who gets Ai

379
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: because that's going to be the ultimate winner right there.

380
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: But you take away some of the oil, especially in

381
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: the Western hemisphere, it's like, we see what you're doing.

382
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: There's hundreds of thousands of Chinese spies going to our universities.

383
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: We've put our universities in China. Eric Swalwell was sleeping

384
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: with a Chinese spy. We had senators. Chinese spies were

385
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: driving their cars for twenty years. Democrats, I might, but

386
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: Republicans they're not clean either. Let's be honest. I'm a

387
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: registered independent just to be clear, and I'm an American before,

388
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: I'm a registered independent because you can't see what Chi's

389
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: trying to do. They've been doing this since the opening

390
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: of opium Wars hundreds of years ago. They tried in Vietnam.

391
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: That's why our guys got booked on drugs there too.

392
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: They're doing it with fentanyl here too. They're trying to

393
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: take the oil. They're trying to take the Panama Canal.

394
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: China doesn't like us. And if for some reason, our

395
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: university is because Russia said they were gonna do it,

396
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: they've convinced. If we convinced our American students, hey, Cuban

397
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: food's good, Communism bad, we'd be all right. But for

398
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: some reason, these grown ass men who've never done anything

399
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: learned from a man in a classroom, another grown ass

400
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: man who's never left the classroom. They teach these kids

401
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: in a classroom. America, bad occupiers. Let me, let's get

402
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: something straight in the history of the planet. Since, like Genesis,

403
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: you're either conquered or you're a conquer or period.

404
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: That's that's true, You're one of the other. And the

405
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: bottom line is China has been infiltrating this country for

406
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: a very long time. Are you surprised by my uber driver?

407
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there are probably a lot of people like

408
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: that not going to assimilate. He doesn't want to speak English,

409
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: and he wants to know if the American public will

410
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: take their side against Taiwan. I found that to be

411
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: saying that he didn't know what the hell I was.

412
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: You know, it turns out I'm a media guy, and

413
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: I was able to report that later. But I mean,

414
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: but what do you are they all here? Are there

415
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: more here than we even know?

416
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to live in a high rise in

417
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: Nell's kitchen. I'm pretty sure I lived in the building

418
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: with at least twenty thousand shines spies. I mean, I'm

419
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: not even kidding. Why are they here? What do we

420
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: letting him in for? I mean, look at look at Okay,

421
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: we we're not a country of migrants. We're a country

422
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: of settlers. And we did a lot of things. The

423
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: Louisiana purchase, there's a lot of stuff that went on

424
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: with that. It wasn't a bring me your cold tired

425
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 2: to let him mooch off all your money. That's what

426
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: we're doing now. It's all by yeah, and so we're

427
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 2: just stay in China. Beat it seriously.

428
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: So first of all, with them all here, are they

429
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: all going to start leaving? Do you think because Trump

430
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: is not playing around? Trump has shown he's not playing around.

431
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: Six or seven wars have been ended. He bought, he

432
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: brought peace deals. He has shown might military might by

433
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: going after you know, you attacked us in Syria, We're

434
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna go kill a bunch of people. How dare you

435
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: think that you're just gonna saber reun with us in

436
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,239
Speaker 1: Venezuela and send your drugs north. We just took out

437
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: the Venezuelan leader. Are they destputs around the globe shaking

438
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: in their boots right now? Rob? Do you think and

439
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: do you think these people that are here, the spies

440
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: that you and I both know are here, we'll leave.

441
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: Well, it's the whole paper Tiger argument. And then it's

442
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: also the admit nothing, deny everything, may counter accusation that

443
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 2: people calling us paper tigers are the paper tigers and

444
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: they've been ruling with iron iron fist the whole time.

445
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 2: I mean, like Elon Musk isn't the richest mantioninal world.

446
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: Vladimer Puotin probably is stuff like that. These are real

447
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: dictators and guys like that, and Gijenping. They're not worried

448
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 2: about us rolling in and picking them up. If anything, it

449
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: might it might bring us closer to weird negotiations. But

450
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: you know, China's angry, They're not going to be a

451
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 2: great ally ever. Russia's Russia. We just need to maintain,

452
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: we need to maintain a very strong alliance with parts

453
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: of NATO. But we you know, as far as I'm concerned,

454
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: we should give Minnesota to Canada to take Greenland.

455
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: Well, Tim Wallas isn't running for reelection, though Minnesota might

456
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: be better soon. It is Tolab o'bile going get his

457
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: book called The Operator. His podcast is also called Operator.

458
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: Go to Robert J. O'Neil dot com. I want to

459
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: talk about Iran. You brought Iran up a little while ago.

460
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: There are people who are now saying the American media

461
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: is not reporting correctly what's happening in Iran. That the

462
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: people are in the streets, they're rising up. Yeah, they're

463
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna be killed by the government. What's left of this government?

464
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: Is there a chance now? Because Obama had the chance

465
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: when the guy won the election against Akmandinajad, back when

466
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: Obama was in office, Obama could have said we support

467
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: the actual winner of the election. Instead he said, we're

468
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: not gonna meddle with the elections of the Islamic Republic

469
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: of Iran. So then people started getting shot in the

470
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: chest in the streets in Iran. What's going on there now?

471
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: Can we somehow, through moral support, through threats, through something,

472
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: support the people of Iran and let them know we

473
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: will support you having real free elections. Is that can close?

474
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's ongoing. But again they need to get rid

475
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: of the religious police and the religious hierarchy. The Iranian people,

476
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 2: the persons are awesome, and they weren't even Muslims. The

477
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 2: Islamic Revolution in nineteen seventy nine came to Tehran a

478
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 2: lot like the Islamic Revolution in New York City came

479
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six free stuff in the embrace of collectivism,

480
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, your family members are getting

481
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: killed for showing their hair's that's just how it is.

482
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's amazing too. I know I'm jumping around.

483
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: People don't realize on the left too, that these Islamas

484
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: are extremely far right, and like they even tell them

485
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: that the Quers for Palestine we're not on the same team,

486
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: and they don't believe it. So the Islamis know what

487
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: they're doing. The left is full of morons and it's

488
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 2: useful idiots that are going to get executed. So in

489
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: Iran right now, yes, they're trying. They need to get

490
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: I think one of the biggest mistakes we made in

491
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 2: Iraq was getting rid of the bath Party right away

492
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: because they did what Saddam wanted because they were afraid

493
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: of them. The same could be true with the military

494
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: and some of the Revolutionary Guard. So you want to

495
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: keep some sort of infrastructure place with the realization, if

496
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: you know your history, not everybody wants Jeffersonian politics democracy

497
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: in the They might not want that. It's not our

498
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: place to put it in. You know, I got tired

499
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: of telling farmers they needed to school when all they

500
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: wanted was farmers, you know, so we're not going to

501
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 2: try to bring them to them. But they were the

502
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: West in nineteen seventy eight. That's a destination for resorts.

503
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: And then guess what the Muslim show up and ruin it.

504
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 2: It is.

505
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: Rob O'Neil said, that's very interesting to me. So you

506
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: have to get with the Revolutionary Guard and you have

507
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: to say yet, you have to because you know that

508
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: there are people who are just waiting and ready. It's

509
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: like the Muslim Brotherhood when it was taking over Egypt

510
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 1: and then the military said screw you and got rid

511
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt because they would have

512
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: taken over it would have been a theocracy, just like

513
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: it is in Iran. So is that what it's going

514
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: to take somebody in the military who's got the balls

515
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: big enough to say we're going to take out the

516
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: Iatola system and bring some semblance of freedom to the people.

517
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: You're right, not going to be JEFFERSONI in Western civilization,

518
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: Western culture, America, like democracy. I get that, But will

519
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: it take somebody in the because we're not going to

520
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: go in there and do a military operation again, I

521
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: wouldn't think to take out the iatolas. But do you

522
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: think that it will take somebody high level in the

523
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 1: military who has the balls to say you're done. Uh?

524
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 2: No, I think we need someone in our state department

525
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: to get the balls our state department. Yeah. I mean,

526
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 2: this is again the way I think personally. I could

527
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 2: be wrong. I've been wrong a lot of times. The

528
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: way the military works, you go in and hit him

529
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: really really hard to leave, and then you let the

530
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: diplomat's diplomat. And that's what the state departments do. I

531
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: think Marko Rubio is doing an incredible job too. How

532
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: many has you know other than the interim president of Venezuela.

533
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 2: What else is he doing? That security vice?

534
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: I know, I didn't know he got that one, but

535
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: I get it.

536
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: Go ahead, I kind of. I gave him that, you know,

537
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: an honorary degree from Montana Tech. Also, I'll just throw

538
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: that and there went out with that. So but no,

539
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: it needs to be something from inside, usually a military

540
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: coup type thing. I don't have a lot, you know,

541
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: I haven't been over that part of the world in

542
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: a long long time. I would like the intel and

543
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: the diplomats to come up from within something you running.

544
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: People want, They've been begging for it for a long time.

545
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 2: They want it, they want freedom, boots on the ground.

546
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: We've proven it last twenty five years that regardless of

547
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: your intentions, you stay there long enough, you're going to

548
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: be an invader. And that's that's the way we weren't

549
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: and Iraq that you know, I need another hour to

550
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: talk about that. Yeah, but we hit it around way

551
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: their nukes and now we have their attention. It's like, uh,

552
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: never mind, I had a bunch of jokes that I

553
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: shouldn't say. I'll tell you in person.

554
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: Okay, good, go ahead, go ahead.

555
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the punches have been landed. Now it's

556
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: time to talk. It's Mike Tyson. I was talking about

557
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: keeping it simple, another his famous quote, everyone's got a

558
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: plan until they get punched in the face. That look,

559
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 2: we saw what happened to Cubans elite Special Force. We

560
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: saw feeddi Y and Saddam, the elite Revolutionary Guard, all

561
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: that crap. You have their elite until they meet someone

562
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: who knows how to fight.

563
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's exactly right. So I just want to make

564
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: sure I understand it, because your your brain works in

565
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: such a way that you probably are a few steps

566
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: ahead of exactly what could happen there. So we've already

567
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: shown them by taking out their nuke sites that were

568
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: not playing around. We showed them by taking out Maduro

569
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: and his wife and basically taking ownership of Venezuela for

570
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: the short term. Now, the Iranian leaders have to be

571
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: saying crap, uh, they could do that to us. So

572
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: do you think that brings them to the negotiating table.

573
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: Do we want to negotiate with the Iotolis? I don't

574
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: think so.

575
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: No, No, not with the Iatolas. No, we need to

576
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: get an elected government. The Iatolas are lost, man. That's like,

577
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 2: uh no, that's like that's like trying to do something crazy,

578
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: like maybe a New Year's Eve party in Paris. Can't

579
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 2: do that, That's that'd be nuts.

580
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: You got to cancel that, God forbid. Well, well, then

581
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: how do you how do you at least morally empower

582
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: the military leaders that could do something in that in

583
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: that country. They're still afraid of the Iotolis or else

584
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: that would have done it already. They have to know

585
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: that we've got their back, right.

586
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 2: We're gonna Well, the people that are going to rise

587
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 2: up need to We need to have their back, and

588
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: then we should get some sort of side into our own. Uh,

589
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: someone needs to tell the mainstream media, hey, you lost.

590
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 2: By the way, the only the only people have worse

591
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: ratings than the media, I think are Democrats and syphilis

592
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: about it.

593
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: I think it's close with syphilis though, I think it's close.

594
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. But if they're they're sort of coming around. There's

595
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: something I think on CBS they're saying, we haven't I

596
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: don't want any paraphrase, but they're sort of saying, now

597
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: we what a time for a comeback? Why not get

598
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: why not get on board us and a right now?

599
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 2: How many trillions have been invested in this country? Why not?

600
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: Why not two Democrats come across the aisle. You're gonna

601
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 2: have no problems in the midterms. Why not? How about

602
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 2: how about we just hey the working man, let's just

603
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: work for them. That's what Donald Trump is doing. And

604
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: then it's the elite, it's the Hillary Clinton's, and it's

605
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: the it's the people with the hundreds of millions of dollars,

606
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 2: the really really rich politicians. That how what elan Omer's

607
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: with thirty million dollars, that's pretty good for a for

608
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 2: a woman from somebody who only married one of her

609
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 2: family members married at the same time to someone else

610
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: Catholic and Muslims. It's not a big deal. But at

611
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: least you know she's in Congress because she's loved the country.

612
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: The horse crap man.

613
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: Yes, what's amazing about Omar is that she literally did

614
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: marry her biological brother. That's a fact. I can say

615
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: it and not worry about her suing me because it's

616
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: a fact, and she's still sitting in Congress. Now, it

617
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: looks like there might be some jockeying of paperwork when

618
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: she got her naturalization, so she might not even be

619
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: a naturalized citizen. We're still looking into that. But I mean,

620
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: all that said, you couldn't be more correct. It's the

621
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: media is starting. I saw that video that you're talking about.

622
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: There was a guy from CBS that was talking about

623
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: we didn't get it right. We're gonna work hard, we're

624
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: gonna try better. I saw that. I mean, and I

625
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: hope he does. I think he's full of it, but

626
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: I hope he does. But Congress doesn't get it. We

627
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: literally have Chuck Schumer from twenty twenty making fun of

628
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 1: Trump for not getting Maduro. Now you got Chuck Schumer

629
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six complaining that he's nation building or

630
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: taking over a country and illegally. You got Mam Donnie,

631
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: who is the freaking mayor of New York, who said

632
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: he got briefed on what happened. I know you didn't.

633
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: You got briefed on when somebody's gonna fix the subway

634
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: system in New York. Nobody briefed you on the freaking

635
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: Venezuela movement. So at some point, I'm with you. I

636
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: hope they wake up. I don't think they're going to.

637
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: But here's the rub twenty twenty six. This year, here,

638
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: they're a midterm elections rob and the Democrats are if

639
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: they get the House back, they're gonna impeach this guy

640
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: every other day. And I'm with you, I'm keem America, USA, USA, USA.

641
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: How do we shake people about the shoulders and make

642
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: them understand that you're on the wrong side here, You're

643
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: not you're not paying attention here.

644
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: I mean, this is all about plan. It's look, look

645
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: at the ridiculousness that we're force fed, like we're we're

646
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 2: at a point now, well it's getting better, but we

647
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: were at a point, especially to the summer of love

648
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 2: that you're gonna get in trouble for telling the truth

649
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: because you're going to offend him more on. That's that's

650
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: where we about everything that chest feeding and can give

651
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: birth nonsense. This is so stupid. Don't talk to me

652
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: because you're not a serious person. Stuff like that. I mean,

653
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: we need the media. We got to get the Communists

654
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: at an awesome job of infiltrating, and we were dumb

655
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: enough to buy it. I don't know what it is,

656
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: and it's the the you know much about it as

657
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: I do. Like everything the Communists stand for, these college

658
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: kids should be against. They don't realize the bloodbath it

659
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 2: turns into. I keep been using blood bath over I mean,

660
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 2: it's but it's it is true, and it is the truth.

661
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 2: And as soon as you tell the truth you get

662
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: screamed at. It's it's like it's this is a victimhood mentality.

663
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: I blame two things, the Atlantic and the Pacific, because

664
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: this is a this is turned into a weak nation

665
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: because it's so great because of what brave men have built.

666
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 2: It's insanity. And then it gets so easy they can

667
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: blame everything. Uh, it's and then the tricks, the Democrats

668
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 2: pull too. I mean, you import enough people, they're going

669
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 2: to vote for their people. Like when I see Minnesota

670
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: in the winter, I definitely think East Africa. What is

671
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 2: going on there? Boston says to Boston. Boston was built

672
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: by some Molly's Are you out of your mind? And

673
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: that's what's not worse is the city of Boston elected her.

674
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: What the place where we did the tea party over

675
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: a two percent tax? Imagine that. I mean, we've come

676
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: a long way, Boston. It is Rob O'Neil. Get his

677
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: book called The Operator. Go check out his podcast The

678
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: Operator or Operator. Go to Robert J. O'Neil dot com.

679
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: Follow him everywhere mc h O O y a H.

680
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: Let me finish with this, Rob, and you got to

681
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: promise to do this again very soon. I just love

682
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: having you on. Let's finish with this. What happens now

683
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: in Venezuela, We're not going to nation build, We're not

684
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: going to stay there. They had an election a couple

685
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: of years ago where the opposition guy got seventy percent

686
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: of the vote to Maduro getting thirty. But Mduro said,

687
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: screw you, I'm not going to give up power. What

688
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: happens now if you don't mind forecast the next couple

689
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: of weeks, a couple of months. What's going to happen there?

690
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's gonna be a transition. There was

691
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 2: obviously there's been intel going on different places there, Maduro himself,

692
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: I was even Jugoshavas before him, and then the drug

693
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 2: boat's coming in and out. There's got to be something

694
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: in place that the post off is not really my specialty.

695
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to predict though, that people have been power

696
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: brokering the entire time to get in the leadership there.

697
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: With the world's number one oil reserves, I think it's

698
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: going to turn around, I really do. I think it's

699
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 2: going to come back, and I think I think in

700
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: five years you're going to see a very very powerful

701
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: Western hemisphere and hopefully guys like me will have that

702
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: beachfront Cuban property too.

703
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: Well, call come and visit you there. If you get it,

704
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: it's Robert. I think it'd be great. I said I

705
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: was going to finish with that, but but this is

706
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: sort of tied in. You see idiots in New York

707
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: and elsewhere holding signs about no blood for oil, and

708
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: they're ignoring the people of Venezuela who are absolutely celebrating

709
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: in the streets. That's bizarre world, isn't it, Robin? When

710
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: you see that, and the people who are directly affected,

711
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: who are now free, don't have to eat their dogs anymore.

712
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: You know, when you see those people celebrating, what do

713
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: you have to say to those who are holding signs

714
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: in places.

715
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: Like New York, it's pretty impressive. In four major cities,

716
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: four hours after the invasion, you have the exact same

717
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: signs built. It's almost like there's a plan to take

718
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: this country down, run by guys like George Soros. It's

719
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: almost like I wish we had something like I don't know,

720
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: law enforcement that would follow the money. There's obviously internal

721
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: enemies in this country. And you know what's scary is

722
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: McCarthy was actually right. He was onto al their hiss.

723
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: A lot of that stuff was right, and it's still here.

724
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: It's still slimy. There's still in the halls of Congress.

725
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: I mean every time I go to DC that I'll

726
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 2: stay one night. I got to take two showers before

727
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: I get on a plane. It's from the what is within.

728
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: Don't think they're not not just China. I'm talking Americas

729
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: who are owned by China. Try to find any California

730
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: Democrat either side of the aisle that ever says anything

731
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 2: about China in the wrong term.

732
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: No, they won't, and that's an absolute fact. It is

733
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: Robert J. O'Neil. Go to follow him, Mick kuyah over

734
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: on social media. American Manhunt Osama bin Laden? That's the

735
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: was that on Netflix? Rob? Is that where that is?

736
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: Which has the three part series? You've released it right

737
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: around May, which is the same month that we killed Oh,

738
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: it was excellent. I was really impressed. Netflix did a

739
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: really good job. And that's that one is actually where

740
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: they did get I was talking about the smart people,

741
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: the Intel teams. They're actually interviewed. The women that found

742
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: bin Laden are on the manhunt on Netflix. It was powerful.

743
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: I've watched it a couple of times and there's obviously

744
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: a really good looking dude in the third.

745
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: Well, we'll check for the good looking dude. It is

746
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: Robert J O'Neil dot com. Hey, Rob, thanksa million, brother.
