I 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 3: think for veterans right now, there's a rebirth. There's a 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 3: revival taking place. And what Pete is doing. I mean 16 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 3: every time I see Joe Kent post something, I want 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 3: to go get my kid on and you know, sign 18 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 3: back up. And I just think right now there's a 19 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: revitalization and the numbers are showing that people are wanting 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 3: to go in, They're wanting to serve. They believe that 21 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 3: the president is fired up to make the American military 22 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: the mightiest force in the world again. And I think 23 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 3: it's a real positive moment for everyone. 24 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 4: When you see those enlistment numbers and Pete Hexth came 25 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 4: out at the Patriot Awards and he was talking about 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 4: them on Thursday night, and I know that on this 27 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 4: Veteran's Day, they're shining a bright light on it. Isn't 28 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 4: that the best actual indication of how the Secretary of 29 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 4: War as we now have it renamed, but the Secretary 30 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 4: of Defense for the last thirty or forty years. Isn't 31 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 4: that the ultimate judgment on him and on the trajectory 32 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 4: of the military. 33 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: Do people want to join or not? 34 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 5: Yeah? 35 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 6: I mean absolutely it is. 36 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: I mean you went to that. I mean I love that. 37 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: There was this incredible galla right. You saw the Marine 38 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: Corps balls, you saw Vice President Events speak at Evans 39 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 3: speak at one. You know, the E five mafia represented 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 3: at the highest levels. Yeah, people are stoked and the 41 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: numbers reflect that. You know, I think it's it's you know, 42 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 3: the other the other great challenge is because we're not 43 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 3: in a very substantial kinetic environment right now, that it's 44 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: difficult to tell, you know, whether it'll last. Because that's 45 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 3: the real testament. Do people stay in over when there's 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: high levels of combat. But right now, I think young people, 47 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 3: young American twenty four year old men, are are revitalized 48 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: with this idea that I can go and serve in 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: the military, that my uncle, that my father, that my grandfather, 50 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: that my great grandfather served in and I'm going to 51 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: get that genuine sense of real pagetriotism and service. 52 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: Dave, take us back, if you would, to your decision 53 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: to join up. Just what it was like going through, 54 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: what was going through your head, what your feelings were 55 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: about at the motivations, your sense of what it would 56 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: mean to be in the Navy, and of course to 57 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: join the teams become a Navy seal. Like, just take 58 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: us back to that moment, because I think for a 59 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: lot of people who today maybe are considering once again. 60 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: You know, we have younger audience members who are listening 61 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: who might be thinking about it. We have college age 62 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: people listening who might be considering it. What was your 63 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: mindset like when you first decided I'm going to throw 64 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: my hat in the ring. 65 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: That's a great question, Bock. You know, for me, I 66 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: was I was struggling to try and figure out what 67 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: I wanted to do with my life. You know, my 68 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: athletic career hadn't worked out the way I had hoped 69 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: at college level, and I was just in this position 70 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 3: where it's like, what is the meaning of my life 71 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: going to represent? And you know, my great great uncle 72 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: was in Rose Theodore Roosevelt's cabinet. You know, I had 73 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 3: you know, it's been several generations since anybody had served, 74 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 3: but you know that legacy and link I think was 75 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: a driving force as well as just my you know, 76 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 3: I was a gen x er. I was influenced by 77 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: Rambo and Commando and all the incredible movies that you know, 78 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: showed American military might and power at the highest levels, 79 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 3: popped on Navy seals, and that consumed me. I was like, 80 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: this is the this is the thing that's going to 81 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 3: put me on my way, help me figure out what 82 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 3: I'm made of if i'm if I can represent something 83 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: bigger than myself and and something that will give me 84 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 3: purpose and meaning to figure out the longer term idea 85 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 3: of what I might ultimately become. So yeah, it was 86 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: a powerful influence over me to go try and become 87 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 3: a part of you know, not only the D O 88 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: D but the Navy and the seal teams and down 89 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 3: all the way to the guys that were next to 90 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: me that I served with. 91 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 4: We're talking to David Rutherford. Encourage you to go subscribe 92 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 4: to his podcast. It's a part of the Clay and 93 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 4: Buck podcast network. It's Veterans Day. You are a Navy 94 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 4: Seal and I don't know if we've ever asked you 95 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 4: this question, but when you were going through the process 96 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 4: of becoming a Navy Seal, what was the toughest thing 97 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 4: to you about the Navy seal process itself? It was 98 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 4: there a moment where you thought, I cannot push myself 99 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 4: any further. And we've got a lot of people out there, 100 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 4: a lot of young guys that listen to us and 101 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 4: maybe aspire to be a Navy Seal one day. What 102 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 4: would you say they should know? What would you say 103 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: they should do? 104 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing is to recognize that you 105 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: have so much more in your reservoir of willpower than 106 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: you can even imagine. You know, in these programs, whether 107 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: it's BODS or it's selection or the Q course or 108 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 3: mar or whatever amazing selection process from all the different 109 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 3: soft units, like you have to realize you have what 110 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 3: it takes. It's just a question of believing in yourself. 111 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 3: And then for me, the biggest thing is I didn't 112 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 3: want to let the guys down next to me. That 113 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 3: was the biggest motivator. Like I'm gonna be honest, I 114 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 3: thought about, you know, quitting all the time. I mean, 115 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 3: the pain of just going through it, being wet, being sandy, 116 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: being miserable, having people scream at you, the whole thing. 117 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 3: But what it does for me is it just motivated 118 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: me to be better for the guys next to me, 119 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: and then they became the ultimate motivation. So, you know, 120 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 3: I think when you're thinking about what it is first 121 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 3: and foremost the number one thing. And I just had 122 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 3: a call with a young man the other day who's 123 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: in college and you know, really thinking about it. And 124 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: the thing I say to most is is do the 125 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 3: deep guy understand what you're committing to understand? You know. 126 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 3: Bongino Dan put a great text out or tweet out 127 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: today where he said, you know, the ultimate thing is service, 128 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: serving the men and women that are next to you 129 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: in the line of fire and and and that is 130 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: the thing that is the driving force ultimately. I you know, 131 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: I know guys that have eight hundred combat missions. I 132 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: know a couple of guys that five hundred, four hundred. 133 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 3: You know, multiple silver stars, five bronze stars with valors. 134 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 3: These are the ultimate heroes and you ask them why 135 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 3: did you serve? Why did you fight as hard as 136 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: you did? And the ultimate thing always comes down because 137 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 3: of the man that was next to me, And so 138 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: you know that's the driving force. If you want to 139 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 3: participate with the with the very highest caliber of committed 140 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: human beings to you and your success, then these programs 141 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: are are right for you. 142 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: Dave, I wanted you to also weigh in on how 143 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: are we doing? 144 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: You know, there was this whole period during the gat 145 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: era where a lot of people who served and a 146 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: lot of people who saw combat were being brought back 147 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: in and going through the transition back into civilian life. 148 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: That is less of a focus now in the general 149 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: public discussion that it was because you point out we're 150 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: not really an active combat zones the. 151 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: Way we were before. 152 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: How are we doing and taking care of our veterans though, 153 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: because whether it's we have tunnel to towers for example, 154 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: a great sponsor here on the program, you know there 155 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,239 Speaker 1: are some veterans who have long term needs who still 156 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: need that assistance from whether it's psychological or physical wounds. 157 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: You know, is the VA getting the attention it needs 158 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: under this administration? You know, I'm wondering how we're doing 159 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: on that front. 160 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 3: I still believe there is an a measurable amount of 161 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: work to be done. Yeah, I see the director of 162 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: the VA going on all the shows and he's saying 163 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 3: the right things, but there are still you know, thousands, 164 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 3: tens of thousands of people in the soft community alone 165 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: that took the braunt of those grote operational tempo. You know, 166 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 3: and it's not just the combat deployment since the endless 167 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 3: training cycles right then also have a really profound effect. 168 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 3: And that's why for me, I really kind of linked 169 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: myself to doctor Chris Free and the framework of operator syndrome, 170 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: you know, when I started a little nonprofit to really 171 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 3: try and figure out how to address the seventeen different 172 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 3: medical and behavioral health challenges that long term exposure to 173 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 3: high training tempos and high deployment cycles has an impact 174 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 3: on people. You know, you can't send a guy, you know, 175 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 3: doing fourteen fifteen deployments and not expect there to be 176 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,119 Speaker 3: some long term damage and That's why you know, there 177 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 3: was actually just a new study from a Stanford doctor 178 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: that did a case study with two hundred special operations 179 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 3: guys that and he used the operator syndrome framework, and 180 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: that study validated the original paper and book written by 181 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 3: doctor Chris Free that this is a reality, right, that 182 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: long term exposure causes metabolic destabilization. It causes behavioral health 183 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 3: challenges in different ways. Yes, TTSD, but also survivors guilt, 184 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: extensive existential challenges, intimacy issues. Right then you have neurogenic 185 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 3: issues from blast wave exposure, you know, endocrine dysfunction, and 186 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: then the orthopedic injuries, the perpetual living and pain, and 187 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: so you know, I think there's still a lot of 188 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 3: work to be done. There's a lot of work to 189 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 3: be done at the administrative level to at least bring 190 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 3: in this Stanford doc and doctor Free. I would love 191 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 3: to see them be able to testify on Capitol Hill 192 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 3: and tell the people that are in charge of the 193 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 3: funding to harve out a little bit of funding to 194 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: do research on operators syne. I mean, we've seen the 195 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 3: most most substantial thing I think we've seen on the 196 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 3: has been on the state level. You saw former Governor 197 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 3: Perry work with the lawyer Hubbard was his name, and 198 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 3: they got fifty million dollars in funding to do research 199 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 3: on I've a gain in five m DMT, which is 200 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 3: the VETS program initiative that really helps guys one get sober, 201 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 3: come off prescription drugs, and then the other to re 202 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: establish neuroelasticity and establish new brain patterning that can help 203 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 3: facilitate putting some of those demons to rest. So there's 204 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 3: a lot of work to be done, a lot of 205 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 3: guys still struggling, And what I would really love is 206 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 3: that for the next kinetic war that could take place, 207 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: which right now could be anywhere, I hope that we 208 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: have a better plan in place to take care of 209 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 3: them as opposed to what the GYT guys them guys 210 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 3: the Korean and then also World War two guys did 211 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 3: not receive. 212 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: David Rutherford, thank you for your service, our friend.

I was talking to 359 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 6: the gentleman after the ship left, and now we were 360 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 6: only two in there, and he said, you know, want 361 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 6: to know why I think the ship blew up like 362 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 6: it did, was because we had just put about nine 363 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 6: months before we put a catapult on, and we used 364 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 6: to we would send off floatplanes with special charges to 365 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 6: go out to do reconnaissance. And he said that the 366 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 6: powder they use for that was very volatile. We had 367 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 6: no place to stort except in the magazine, so we 368 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 6: set it around the inside of the charges for the 369 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 6: regular comes, which wasn't as volatile. And he thought that 370 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 6: was he thought that would contributed to the explosion. And 371 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,959 Speaker 6: then then and that actually gets better claimed buck, because 372 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 6: while we're standing there, just the two of us, the 373 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 6: next ship came up to drop people off, and here 374 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 6: comes everybody up and the very last group coming up 375 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 6: where it was an older gentleman with two women on 376 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 6: either side.

But the iguanas freeze in 502 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 4: the trees and fall out iguana popsicles when it gets 503 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 4: cold there. 504 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: They're not dead. 505 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: They're just they their heartbeat slows down so much, or 506 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: their system slows down so much that they essentially pass 507 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: out and they fall out of trees. 508 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 2: And by the way, they. 509 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 4: Are pretty big if you can get way, imagine get 510 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 4: knot or killed by an iguana falling out of the tree. 511 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 2: That'd be a tough way. 512 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: To get that's ever happened, But I just could tell 513 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: you when you see one and it's lying there and 514 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: it's all because this happens. Uh, they're they're considerable. They 515 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: will whip you with their tail too, so when they 516 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: wake up, you don't want to be and they have 517 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: a little sharp teeth. 518 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 2: This is why it's feeling. 519 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 4: All amazing that they just go to like they just 520 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 4: freeze like that and and truly fall out of the trees. 521 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: And for you know, you know they're they were they're 522 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: escaped pets. They're an invasive speci Oh yeah, here in 523 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: South Florida. They are absolutely not native. They came from 524 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: South America. They are not native to Miami. But man, 525 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: have they taken to this habitat. And unfortunately they're really 526 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: rough on foundations for buildings. They burrow and they dig, 527 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: so they can be a pest. They can be dangerous 528 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: to building structures, sort of like the boa constrictors and 529 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: pythons that they have here now, also pets that were released, 530 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: the pets that I like, though, we have parrots that 531 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: have been released, and the parrots are fun, they're nice. 532 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: They're not native either. There are very few of these 533 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: species that people associate with. Alligators and crocodiles. The only 534 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: place in the world where they coexist in the same 535 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: ecosystem is here, and they are native to South Florida 536 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: Manates obviously there, you know.

But I just remember reading about how I 609 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: think we lost was it fifteen thousand or thirty thousand 610 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: people to flight accidents in the Pacific theater? Not shot down, 611 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: never found them, just the plane crashed in the ocean, 612 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: and that was that. Going between theaters of conflict now, 613 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, like transport essentially, I think it was something 614 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,479 Speaker 1: like either fifteen or thirty thousand, some astonishing with training 615 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: accidents and astonishing the high number.
