Yeah. And once we did that midnight, we realized that, 40 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: you know what, we're probably not going to be able 41 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 2: to find the ambassador we've been searching for our and 42 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: a half. You know, we have been through some counter attacks. 43 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: We happened, we shot a couple of their RPG gunners. 44 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: They're rock prognade gunners, and we're like, what do we do. 45 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: We need to either get back to our place to 46 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: defend it, we're going to stay here and keep looking, 47 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: which and we at that time, we didn't know if 48 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: he'd been kidnapped. We had no idea if he was 49 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 2: even in in the in that burning building. And that 50 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: still haunts me, and I think it hants I the 51 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 2: rest of the guys too, and me definitely that you 52 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: never leave a fallen comrade to fall in the hands 53 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: of the enemy. And we made the decision to lead, 54 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: and essentially he was found in the very back corner 55 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: of a safe room, and it bothered me because we 56 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: left it. We left his body there. He was dead, 57 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 2: of course, but we left. Uh. But it was a decision. 58 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: It was a tough decision, and and you know, looking 59 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 2: back on that was the right decision because we ended 60 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: up fighting three more counter attacks off at our annex, 61 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: at our arts facility, and pretty vicious attacks, and that's 62 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: where we lost Ty and Glenn. The last one where 63 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: they hit us with mortars, and that's when mark ov 64 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: Geist was seriously injured and you know, he Luckily they 65 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: were able to reattach his arm, but basically his arm 66 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: would have been blown off. And uh and he almost 67 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: bled out upon that roof that night too. 68 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 4: Now reports that got reports, I got tom toed overre 69 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 4: that y'all killed about forty of their guys and you 70 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 4: saved about Sex Department, State Department employees and evacuated about 71 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 4: another thirty Americans that night. 72 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: Yes, that's correct, states Bartaan NCIA employees. So that's correct. 73 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: And yeah, we we we ended up unofficially and again 74 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: we get those counts, and we're very lucky that we 75 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: still have some friends within the own department at the 76 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 2: agency that can't give us those numbers, and those numbers 77 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: come from the locals on the ground. And that's the 78 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: benefit of doing what we do is we do maintain 79 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: friendships with people that are in these countries, locals that 80 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: are in these countries, and I feel I have a 81 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: heartfeld My heart goes out to them because they're caught 82 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 2: in the middle of all this and there are some 83 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: good people there. Not all the Islamis islam Muslims or 84 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 2: terris Islamas are, but not all the Muslims aren't. Some 85 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: of them actually want to help, and uh, you know 86 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: now we've left them, and who knows that they're even 87 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: alive to this day. But just so people know, I 88 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: just want to make sure that our numbers come from 89 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: some pretty solid sources, not from the US governments, from 90 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: people that are actually on the ground living there. Some 91 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 2: were even locals that actually live in the country. Still. 92 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 4: So you'all fall back at this point, and you talked 93 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 4: about commandeering the assets that you use to get out 94 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 4: of there, Describe that if you would. 95 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Triple A team which consisted of Glenn Doherty, 96 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: and there was also three other GRS operators they're still 97 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: working so I can't give you their names, and then 98 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: two Delta Force operators and then also an interpreter.

The charter jet just like 101 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: chartering a jet here.

That is most important for us to know? 206 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing. The politics are gonna play 207 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: themselves out, all right, They're gonna they're gonna do what 208 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: they need to do, the partisan politics. I don't want 209 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: to get involved. And all that which American people don't 210 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 2: know is the heroism and the courage that went on 211 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 2: that night that has been lost, and that that upsets 212 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: me a bit because my friends sacrificed their life. My 213 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: teammates sacrifice themselves to defend the American soil, to do 214 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 2: the right thing, and they gave themselves, they gave up 215 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: themselves some gave them one hundred percent and gave them 216 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 2: all and uh, that's lost and that's when I speak, 217 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 2: that's what I go into. I won't be able to 218 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 2: remember the heroism, the courage that went on that night. 219 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: And and we have been involved with the movie immensely 220 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: that Michael Bates coming out coming out with and I 221 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 2: think that's gonna really bring it to the American police, 222 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 2: to the people that this isn't all politics. These guys 223 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 2: actually sacrificed a lot and went through a lot to 224 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: say of others. And that's where I want people to 225 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 2: remember and know the most about is that there are 226 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: still guys out there that are willing to give their 227 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 2: lives up to protect others. And uh, and I think 228 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: that's been missed a lot in the last two years 229 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: because of all the politics that have been drawn out 230 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 2: with this. 231 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm stumped. 232 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 4: What what lingering question do you have that is not 233 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 4: secured classified information that you can't share, but is a 234 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 4: question that you have and you just wanted answered. 235 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: Well, I would have a question of within the United 236 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 2: States government, who knew what was going on that night 237 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 2: and why weren't the right decisions made and decisions being 238 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: support you know who who who did not allow support 239 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: to come up or who made that decision?

I think that's pretty 247 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: much what's black and white. If people can't see that, 248 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 2: there's there's some shenanigans going on with that. I don't 249 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: know what else I can do to help help help 250 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 2: in sway their minds at. 251 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 4: Once the attack began, and you guys responded, what work 252 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 4: could have been done? 253 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I do still believe and I said 254 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: this to Dallison tel subcommittee, Mike Rodgers Committee, and they 255 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: didn't do us any favors at all either that if 256 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 2: we would have been turned loose, if they would have 257 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: let us do our job and get over there and 258 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: at least get eyes on of what was going on 259 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: or somehow get involved in the firefight. And initially within 260 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: the first five minutes we were ready, and Master Steve 261 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: and the Shahnson will still be alive. So making the 262 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: right decisions would have been would have been key by 263 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: our leadership, which would have been letting the subject matter 264 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: experts with which are us get involved with what was 265 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: going on in a combat situation. My other thing would 266 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: be allow support. When was the support? Why didn't you 267 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 2: allow the support the military guys that were in the 268 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: area that we knew in Singamella and all be on 269 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 2: on our base in Djibouti, Africa, you know, within power, 270 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 2: if even that two hours away, why didn't you let 271 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: them get involved? And if General ham did get his 272 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: guys moving and they were turned around, and I don't 273 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: know for sure, I don't know for sure, but if 274 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: he did and they were turned around, why did why 275 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: were they turned around? That's my two big questions right there. 276 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: It's a military operation with the military and those that 277 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: are involved in those inferial military operations handle it, and 278 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: the government officials that are want to be involved get 279 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 2: out of the way, and they muddy up everything. And 280 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 2: that's what they did that night. And now I foresee 281 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: as being a cover up not just from one side, 282 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: but from both people on the political spectrum. But again, 283 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 2: I don't know how much I want to get into that, 284 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: because then I'm mundy. The water up with getting in 285 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: the heroic heroic acts that night that happened, and I 286 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 2: want people to see that and then they can draw 287 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: their own conclusion of what they think happened and what 288 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: should have been done and what wasn't done, and what 289 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: might have been done correctly, what might not have been 290 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: done correctly. Just be well informed. Thank you, Tonto, Thanks Michael, 291 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: I have a great day.
