So 223 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: this is one of the uh, the Afghanis SF cats 224 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: that were training with them. They're not training what they 225 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: were working with them. They were executing this mission, and 226 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, these guys he alluded to being very on point, 227 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: you know, considering from the average Afghanny soldiers. So they 228 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: were working together and while they were just pinned down 229 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: by this overwhelming enemy force that was coming from a checkpoint, 230 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: and they were maneuvering very technically intact. They were training 231 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: because they were well trained, they were talented and uh 232 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: and Pakistani and you also alluded to that one ches 233 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: and we'll get a minute because I ran into something 234 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: like that in Iraq as well. And you know you're 235 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: in a serious fight when you, yeah, when you see 236 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: a big Diesel hy due to the red hair. Yeah, 237 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: and with the other team, you're like, yeah, this is 238 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: some I was like, hey, man, you might want to 239 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: get on this team. Yeah. Bro, I don't know if 240 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: you know you're on the right side, but you're right. Um, 241 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: So that's who this guy is. And while he was, 242 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, pinned down and looking around, he's seen this 243 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: guy literally eat RPG to the back in his backpack, 244 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: blew everything up and uh, he flew down the mountain 245 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,599 Speaker 1: and that was the first guy to get hit. And 246 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, we just lost our first guy. 247 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: We're not leaving him here. We're gonna get on. And 248 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: the guy turned around. His hat was off, and he 249 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: looked at me and all he said was okay, Usa, 250 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: and everyone's god okay. I guess you know what he means. 251 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: And he lost his hat and so the fight ensued. 252 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: We end up getting air Force air support. We bought 253 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: Pakistan for a while. And that was actually funny too 254 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: because when because the first jet to show up was 255 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: a B one and he was at uh he d 256 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: my My radio guy Tony said all right, bombs away 257 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: two minutes out and I'm like, what why two minutes 258 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: I've got I've got a thousand guy dives we did 259 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: this is what was a space shuttle dropping this?

And so then he ended 263 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: up bombing him for a while, and soil he went. 264 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: He went Bengal. He had to leave out of fuel 265 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: and when he left, an F fifteen showed up. And 266 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,599 Speaker 1: I always make the difference that the distinction between and 267 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: F like a B one bombers flown by a colonel 268 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: of senior officer distinguished and an F eighteen is like 269 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: a twenty five year six yeld badass, like from Ohio, 270 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: the one punch somebody. So he showed up and he's 271 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: in this formulation or whatever. He knew we'd been in 272 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: a fight for a while and in order to get 273 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: rid of the technicalities instead of us going through all 274 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: the ship, he said, just talk to me like I'm 275 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: a man.

I don't know about 348 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: the guy shot in the head to lift. No, I 349 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: don't know. There's a stive on software. Because we were 350 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: creeping up on the house. This guy's in a he's 351 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: kind of in this I'm not making this up. He's 352 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: in a position like he's maneuvering, but we have night vision. 353 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: He can't see it. He can't see us, but we 354 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: can see him, and he's going for his gun and 355 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: he's next to a woman. I gotta take a shot. 356 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: So I took a shot, hit him in the head. 357 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: He stood up and he ran right to R PJ. 358 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know how yeah here, and it came 359 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: right around and stuck in his shoulder. And then I 360 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: remember thinking, you know, obviously he freaked you out. But 361 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, if anyone who serves to live tonight, this 362 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: guy does. And he just took. He just took. That's 363 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: a hallow point. It reminds me of If that's not 364 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: it reminds me of Apocalypse. Now. Remember when they're on 365 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: the beach with the cavalry coming in and one of 366 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: the VC guys are there with his guts hanging out 367 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: and he's like this dirty VC wae water. I said 368 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: he could drink patty water. And the Colonel is like 369 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: any VC tough enough to fight me, he's tough enough 370 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: to drink water. You gotta respect some of that guy. 371 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: There are stories like that. We were talking about this again, 372 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: that a lot of people don't know that there there are, 373 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: there's stuff. Not everything is a perfect shot, a perfect killing, 374 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: a perfect weird like just a will to live on 375 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: some people. You see it and it's there and it's it. 376 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: War was a lot different in person, but I also 377 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: think they bred for that kind of ship like mental 378 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: mentality wise, of the Afghanistan, but even Iraqis I think 379 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: you know some of them, think of guys that counted 380 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: Afghanistan ain't no joke. Let me tell you. I've been 381 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: to both places, and I think by far, Iraq has 382 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: been tough for me at some points. But Afghanistan is 383 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: a meat grinding run into some of those guys to 384 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: cut their teeth out to get to Iraq. A lot 385 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: of the foreign fighters, but some of the locals, I wasn't. 386 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: I mean whatever, and they're fighting against us, and we're 387 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: hard to fight. But some of the talent, I mean, 388 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: they grew up fighting and they're there. We were running 389 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: outstations in Afghanistan and Jalalabad where you can't pay for 390 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: security and you shop into bazaars and you help them, 391 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: which was how good was the security? It was okay, 392 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: But this is back before we became occupiers, so we're 393 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: doing but like we would interview for security and we'd 394 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: have like a fifty five year old dude with a 395 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: big red and gray beard and telling you whatever he 396 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: thought the Russians with the Jehad and like how old 397 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: are you two?

It's just you're not going to install Appersonian 421 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: democracy in the Middle Eastern country there. Their tribes were 422 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: around a thousand years before Jefferson, Like, we're not going 423 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: to go over there. And like I remember after the Latroll, 424 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: when we're going after Latroil in the middle of it, 425 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: when the Marines brought that famous note that Latrell wrote 426 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: and gave it to some of the guys, And when 427 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: we were there for that, he brought that dude in 428 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: and we're trying to show him a map of his village. 429 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: Here he didn't know. He didn't know what a map was, 430 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: so we thought it's a good idea, was just opened 431 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: the laptop and show him falcon Field because he's definitely 432 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: gonna that's It's We might have showed him the face 433 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: of Mohammed himself.

You know, 435 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: it's one of those crazy things because both of you 436 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: guys being in combat, you know, you being the man 437 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: who killed Bin Laden. It's like, what is the end 438 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: game if it's not nation building, which is what we've 439 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: been told is the end game in these countries. I 440 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: think you alluded to that in the end of your book, 441 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: and this is and I think that was so deep 442 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: in because the way he explained when you came to 443 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: that moment of realization that you were out to pop, 444 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: smoke and get out, when you realize everything you've done 445 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: in these countries up to this point, which you thought 446 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: was a race to the top, and once you got 447 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: to the fucking top, destroyed the top. This man right 448 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: here now you're back operating again, and you're going after 449 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: what you what they were labeled as at that time, 450 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: which is not the way to you. It was like 451 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: anybody less than yeah. Okay, So so my last mission 452 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, like bin Laden, wasn't the last guy shot 453 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: with that gun. The last guy shot with the gun 454 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: was an h v T who probably no one gave 455 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: a shit about except the intel guy that thinks he 456 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: foun him because he's staying up ageing hours a day 457 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: and the talk right, um we and it was actually 458 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: a cool lot because we actually got to do my 459 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: my one and only l ambush.

There's there's zero intelligence, there's nothing in 494 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: the village there. These guys are just they're going to 495 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: kill Americans because Americans were there. I was on the 496 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: big laden rate ten months before this, so you were 497 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: used to you were used to going after the big fish, 498 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: and here you are just taking care of the average fooholdier. 499 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: And a lot of the missions I saw, guys were 500 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: doing them out of boredom. There's no I mean, if 501 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: you want to start with parliament up in Cobble, that's 502 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: that's where you're bad guys are. That's that's where the 503 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: corruption isn't always has been, and we're not gonna take 504 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe there can be a semi stable, semi 505 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: cooperative government Cobble, probably not Canada. That's where the Taliban rolls. 506 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: We're not gonna ever be back to remember blessing up 507 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,479 Speaker 1: in the pesh River Valley down to Asada beat those 508 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: are gone to the Talibans. They're trying to figure out 509 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: how to eat our treadmills that we left behind. You know, 510 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: we're not gonna instill it, so we gotta which gets 511 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: me into like what I'm sorry to throw up, but 512 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: it's like, what is that endgame? Because you know you well, 513 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you need to keep a presence somewhere like 514 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: Bogram because I remember in case they start something, because 515 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: look what happened when we pulled out of Iraq, and 516 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: you can't bank you at the vacuum. But I mean, 517 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: it will come to a point, and even I mean 518 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: President Obama realized this and President Trump is realizing it 519 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: might come down to negotiating with the Taliban and just 520 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: saying no more foreign fighters or else we're gonna bomb you. 521 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: I remember when John McCain ran against Obama, Um, you know, 522 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: he said that we would have a presence in Iraq 523 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: for possibly a hundred years, and it was like this 524 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: crazy statement and people are like, we're gonna be a 525 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: war for a hundred years. But having a presence doesn't 526 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: necessarily meant present presence in Germany. Yeah, but I mean 527 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: that's the set well, I mean, and you got to 528 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: figure ou how fickle the a lot of the American voters. 529 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: Remember when Mitt Romney said one of the biggest problems 530 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: we're gonna have soon as Russia, and everyone laughed all Russia. 531 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: What is this nineteen eight? Well guess what, now we 532 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: have a problem. I mean, and you need to see. 533 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: I mean, but I want to get a bunch into politics. 534 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: I work quite a bit. See, She's like, nobody wants 535 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: to watch the party politics. That's why, that's why the 536 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: Kardashans at TMZ is so popular. I get home to 537 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: our reality TV, so I'd rather watch t MC too. Yeah, 538 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: it's mindless. It's like, oh, ship, she just smacked the 539 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: chick for wearing the same dress. That's crazy that they 540 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: if they have meshed into one another. Yeah, I feel like, yeah, well, yeah, 541 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: I need the politics now. You can get that. You know, 542 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: if you could sell ten million of your new eyeliner 543 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: in one minute on on Snapchat, you're probably gonna be 544 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: able to instance fluence some voters or you know, I 545 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: don't know, I'm talking about my ask whatever. No, I hear. 546 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: They tried with it didn't work out so well this year, didn't. 547 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: So getting into set stop our liberal audience don't like 548 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: that our audiences you have ye, we do. Actually to 549 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: audience members, thank you for listening, and no, seriously, thank you. 550 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: I like the fact that you guys, if there are 551 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: that's good because you're opening your you're opening your view. 552 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: You're put in your field of fire if you will, 553 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: because there are audience they know what I think. But 554 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: I say, because white, why listen to just what you believe. 555 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: You're never gonna learn from listening to people that have 556 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: the same belief. You need to listen to someone else 557 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: and possibly if you don't get me wrong, but have 558 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: a cordial debate. It's I want to prick on to 559 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, I know when you when you were when 560 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: you're wrong. You know what I mean because I eat it. 561 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: You know, especially with something some liberal points is that 562 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: you know what you're kind of right, that was messed up, 563 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'll be the first one, 564 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: and I know you work over at Fox News. I 565 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: think it's like the people who um check out alternative 566 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: media sources, which we are a lot of them just 567 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: don't trust the media at large, whether it is Fox. 568 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: A lot of people won't watch Fox News just because 569 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: they think it's fake news because the other media lets 570 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: tell them it's fake news and its nonsense. I mean, 571 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: I've worked at all of them, and I actually picked Fox. 572 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: I'm a contributor there because they did without question, the 573 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: best effect finding without question, and if you if you 574 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: say something wrong, you're probably gonna be gone. Now, I 575 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: will watch MSNBC when I'm on the treadmill because it 576 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: makes me run really fucking fast. I just think the 577 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,479 Speaker 1: reason it's so split is because I think a lot 578 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: of people in our audience don't trust any of them. 579 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: That's that's why they're looking for alternative media sources. But 580 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: you're getting into some news here because there's a lot 581 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: going on, the biggest of which is the North Korea 582 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: missile lunch. And the thing that I took out of 583 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: this the most was an article where Maddis made their 584 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: remarks as he sat in the meeting with Trump House 585 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: Speaker Ryan and sent a Majority Leader McConnell um, and 586 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: added that North Korea has the ability to hit everywhere 587 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: in the world basically, And that's a quote. And this 588 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: is actually kind of shocking to me because on the podcast, 589 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: we've had guests on before and writer for the site 590 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: who say North Korea is not really a threat to 591 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: the US as much as they are to South Korea 592 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: or to Japan. And when you hear this, this is 593 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: actually a huge escalation from that. A lot of a 594 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: lot of the reason people don't can they don't think 595 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: North Korea's a threat is because they think of the 596 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: world as the map. Like a lot of the flat earthers, 597 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: if they're gonna hit New York and Washington, they're not. 598 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: They're not going across the Pacific to coming up and around. 599 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: So if you get that certain miles, you're gonna hit 600 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: anyone in the world, just because like or not, the 601 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: world is round. Plus we you start dealing with the 602 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: rotation of the year. I mean, you gotta figure to 603 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: take a sniper shot at two thousand meters, you're dealing 604 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: with rotations exactly. You shoot a missile how high? How 605 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: many miles into space above the space station? Don't I 606 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: don't even I should probably look it up. It was 607 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: higher than the International Space Station and it came down. 608 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: You started dealing with that. I mean, that's the same 609 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: reason planes fly faster eastern than you figure out. Tho 610 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: kilometers was probably dirty miles. So they were ten, they were. 611 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: They were in the strategy, you know, And if it can, 612 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: if it can, if it's flying for fifty minutes at 613 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: that's it's a long time anywhere in the world, And 614 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: it's crazy because the dialogue has always been other technology 615 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: so far behind, they're not going to do anything. And 616 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: then you know, it's funny what they don't like to admit, like, Okay, 617 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: their technology is behind. You know who's not China? Yeah, 618 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: and Russia. I mean, I'm saying China can be helping them. 619 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: We won't get into the Hawaisa dam did this and 620 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: then how I defended them in al Kaina has been 621 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: alawed to the Geha defending from yeah, the whole much. 622 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm glad we can talk about it. I got a 623 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: lot of time. Yeah, but I think or at um 624 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: In in the same uh in the same situation, said 625 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: that realistically, we are not currently under a threat because 626 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: they don't have the capability to reach out. Now, that's 627 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: something else they're not mentioned is our ability, especially to 628 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: defend ourselves and when we can, there are different ways 629 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: to that haven't been discussed that the ways to defend 630 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: Japan and South Korea. And what's interesting too is President 631 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: Trump actually said we can do that and they should 632 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: pay us for it, because why we're doing it for free, 633 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: which is interesting, which is and what was it the 634 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: what was the name of the missile defense system. We 635 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: put up that, well, yeah, he has that the that 636 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: is that high altitude air defense and I want to 637 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 1: say thermal defense. I want to say South Korea kind 638 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: of had a little political tryst over that and do 639 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: but I want to pay for it or so. Yeah, 640 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: but we're I mean, we're twenty some trillion dollars in debt. 641 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: Maybe someone should pay us for what we're doing. Because 642 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: even if NATO the NATO stuff, they're not paying that 643 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: their percentage of the GDP they agreed for NATO. Yet 644 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: we still put stuff over there because its in our 645 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,239 Speaker 1: interests to defend our allies. And that's what we've seen 646 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: so much on defense. And it's just we're kind of 647 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: the world police East, and we've been made fun of 648 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: for that, But what if we weren't. So it's it's 649 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: no matter. You've got a good point to me. I'm 650 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: just you know, I'm pretty tired of having to fork 651 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: over cash as a citizen for other fucking people that 652 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with me in another country you 653 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: have no interest in helping you at all.

But as a veteran, I tell 678 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,719 Speaker 1: I'm just not now. And they'll say, well, it's it's 679 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: not about the military. I'm like, yeah it is, because 680 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I know some vets are not against it, 681 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: but the flag is a direct representation of what we do. 682 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: It's on our uniform exactly. And and you know, we 683 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: we go down and we screwinize down to the very 684 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: wearing of the flag. You know. Um, it has to 685 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: go with the flow of the wind or the direction 686 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: of movement. And you know, everything we do is you know, 687 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: even the way we fold the flag that way, we 688 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: don't allow the flag. That flag is everything to us. 689 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: I think they understand. I had some friends make some 690 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: shirts that I was going to authorize. Um, I said, 691 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: just let me give it once over. The flag was backwards. 692 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened. Wrong shoulder, sorry, brother, flag was forward, 693 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: wrong shoulder. And I said, I said, you wear it. 694 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: Watch every single vet you see first everyone Now they 695 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: don't play no games, No, what's it? Yeah, And like 696 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: I displayed the flag. I think I'm one of the 697 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: only houses in my neighborhood that has the American flag 698 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: hanging out, you know. And I also and I also 699 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: displayed next to the Marine Corps flag. And it's crazy 700 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: because I have a lot of um Arabic neighbors, because 701 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: it's in its affluent community in the Bronx, you know, 702 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: it around a lot of doctors and lawyers, and a 703 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: lot of them are like sir Arabic surgeons, you know. 704 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: So it's what's crazy. There a lot of Muslims. I 705 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: will still go out and I will still raise my flag, 706 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, lower it or put it at half mass 707 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: whatever something happens, like a mass shooting and stuff like, 708 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: because we take it that serious. Yeah, it's very sure. 709 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: That's why you try to explain it to guys like, 710 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: look that this is the and I mean they're learning 711 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: now there losing five million dollars, the NFL is learning 712 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: and it's not I mean it's not even the players. 713 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: It's poor leadership by Roger Goodell. Look at the NBA, 714 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,719 Speaker 1: look at the Look at Roger Goodell is too soft. 715 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: He s here's a rule, you'd stand up. Yeah, I 716 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: think two minutes. I think you know, at the end 717 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: of the day, he's running a business and well the 718 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: problem here and he's gonna run into this with Donald Trump, 719 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: is that he's not running a business, he's running a nonprofit. Well, 720 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: and he's also getting government funding. Yeah that's a big deal. Yeah, 721 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: it's a big deal. But you know when you look 722 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: at it, the way I see it is you're running 723 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: a business and this is affecting the bottom line. So 724 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: you're allowing your employees to continue some type of activity 725 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: to affect your bottom line. That's not good business for 726 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: any Well, even with they had a game overseas and 727 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: they took a knee for the the anthem and they 728 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: stood for God's save the Queen.

You put them there, you get him 822 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: a military tribundal, and you put them in a fucking gallon. 823 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: You suck the juice out of him of intelligence and 824 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: everything you can, and hang them. I've talked about it 825 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: before in the podcast. You have the issue with people 826 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: who wanted to close Guantanamo Bay, which I remember was 827 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: that when they said, okay, we'll release them into prisons. 828 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: No congressman wants I don't want him in my district, 829 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: wants prisoners from Guantanamo in their district, possibly radicalizing. That's 830 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: what they do. You know, this guy's going to prison, 831 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,240 Speaker 1: but he's probably not. He should go to to solitary 832 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 1: confinement for the rest of his life. And I have 833 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 1: no problem with that, that or hard labor. But you 834 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: get dudes like this that are very charismatic, they start 835 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: they start radicalizing. The dudes that are getting out in 836 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: a few years that they were risked on on a 837 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: bullshit charge, and then they get out and then they're 838 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: the problem. This is an issue with and they're they're 839 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: primed to be radicalized. Because these guys, you feel like 840 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: they've been screwed by that. I don't have them. I 841 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: don't have the government. I hate the country, so I 842 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: don't have any Here's a brotherhood and all I need 843 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: to do this. I gotta go to paradise. So you bagged, 844 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: you backed up a couple of guys in this situation. 845 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: You've been the one that they sent after. Some of 846 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: these guys are here. This this abu Ka. A couple 847 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, they paraded him around to seem as 848 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: if he was the mastermind behind the Beghazi attack. And 849 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: then we spoke to Um Tonto and Um Chris. He 850 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: explained to us, well, his his feeling on the situation 851 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: was that this guy was just like we talked about 852 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 1: that that admiring our enemy. This guy was just born 853 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: to be our sworn fucking enemy, could you know? And 854 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: and he was just I guess, a part of the thing. 855 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: So to him, it didn't matter. Nonetheless, whether we caught 856 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: this guy or not, I would and I would take 857 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: Tonto's word over this guy. Again, I wasn't there, but 858 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: but I think the bad precedent is if you don't 859 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: put up a fight, they're gonna show up and ar 860 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,760 Speaker 1: rescue and you'll be good to go, because I guarantee 861 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: those guys, that's what I'm talking the watering down. Even 862 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: even in Guantana, Obey, those dudes are getting twenty three 863 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: hours in the yard and the yards of Caribbean islands 864 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 1: where they're playing soccer, they're talking to, they get prey, 865 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: they get meals and so to you compare that to 866 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: living in a cave in Afghanistan, it's yeah. But Tom 867 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: hit on that CBS article as well. Um, they said 868 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: he eventually was still convicted of terrorists like ativity, right, 869 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: what does that mean? Yeah? I mean what what? What 870 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: is he? Is he getting convicted as a terrorist and 871 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: that means he's not that he doesn't have any rights? 872 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: Is he a enemy combative? Like? What happens after this? 873 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: That's a good question. I've looked that up. That's actually 874 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: really interesting. How did he get tried here? That he 875 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: got tried exactly, and then he got tried here NDC 876 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 1: actually and then and then you know that was what 877 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: he was convicted of terrorist like activities. But amongst the 878 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: verbiage in that article was kind of disheartening to me 879 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 1: because they said that he was only the only evidence 880 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: they had that was solid enough on him to stem 881 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,720 Speaker 1: that charge in the first place, was that he stole 882 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: equipment and vandam Yeah he was. He was burning h 883 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: classified So that's what they had evidence on. This is 884 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: this is what happens when you get lawyers involved in 885 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: the war. And I'd like to know who defended him. 886 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: First off, this guy is it's holding a case burning 887 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: government property on the day of questioning. And then we 888 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 1: have enough fingers pointing to the fact that he was 889 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: one of the orchestrators, not maybe the mastermind, but enough 890 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 1: to be charismatic, to gather a group of guys and 891 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: kind of like charisma. And that's what he's gonna use 892 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: in in prison and and must have used it in 893 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 1: court too, because what the hell, like you said, when 894 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: you get these lawyers involved, like are you fucking trying 895 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: to give these guys a free pass? And and and 896 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: again that's more politics. The defender's job is to defend 897 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 1: his client to get the win. The prosecutor's job is 898 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: to get the win. But the prosecutor needs to prove 899 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: beyond reasonable doubt. Do you it's do you think somehow 900 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,399 Speaker 1: this has something to do with this administration? And I'm 901 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: saying that. Ha you especially, something is sensitive. A BEng 902 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 1: Ghazi definitely has political ramifications, definitely because you've got you've 903 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: got the Obama people, excuse me, the President Obama people, 904 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: Secretary Clinton, President Trump, uh, you know, back to President Bush. 905 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: Who's doing what? It's all political, That's that's part of that. 906 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: It's very scary because this, this this in the in 907 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: the short game is like, look a look at the 908 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: party politics right now. All they want to do is 909 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: make sure they secure their job. All this defense attorney 910 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 1: wanted to do is make sure he keeps his job, 911 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: gets a win. Everyone's trying to to get a win 912 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: for themselves because they're selfish. It has nothing to do 913 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 1: with the country. If if there was justice, there would 914 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: have been people would have helped taunto his boys before 915 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,319 Speaker 1: they even got to that point. And I think that's 916 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: what his biggest point was, like, you know, I'm not 917 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: worried about the guy that sworn his entire life and 918 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: that it dedicated his entire life to kill me. I'm not. 919 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't care what happens to that guy. 920 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: I respect that guy enough as an enemy combatant and 921 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: to basically take that side. And that stands in life. 922 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 1: What he wants to see is the people that ultimately 923 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: were responsible for our well being that fell short or 924 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 1: dropped the ball answer for what they did. And that's 925 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: and I agree with, yeah, tell the truth. So this 926 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: right here. Although it is a story and he is 927 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: convicted of terrorists like activities and not murder ian, he 928 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: might spend a really long time in prison, what I 929 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 1: don't want to see is him being traded for someone else. 930 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: And we talk about that with both birds. You're a professional, sir, 931 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, I've been studying you know, but you know, 932 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 1: and that goes back to that goes back to you. 933 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: When I saw your first interview with um uh Tucker 934 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson on Fox, which I love Fox, Like, I said, 935 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 1: those guys are cool because they're the only ones whould 936 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: really give me a shot. So that's I'm not I'm 937 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: not that conservative, guys, you know. I still I'm not 938 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 1: very conservative, but you are less conservative than I actually 939 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: is a live he's how did you know that? I know? Man, 940 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 1: that group, bro, he's not gonna set himself up a 941 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: night crazy. Uh. Yeah, It's it's important to sound like 942 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, but if you don't know what we're talking 943 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: about talking about something to do. You just do it 944 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 1: all the time. You can go back to tattooing and stuff. No, 945 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 1: but you know, so what I found interesting was when 946 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned that that you were actually in the midst 947 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 1: of going after certain a VT s and you have 948 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 1: to put everything on holme. We were at fo B 949 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 1: shank No Sharona, which is which is nearby eastern Afghanistan, 950 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 1: and what the Taliban and al Qaeda had learned is 951 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: that they can get across the border back to Pakistan 952 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: um before you know, but before it gets dark. We're 953 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 1: not gonna come after because we're waiting until at least 954 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,800 Speaker 1: dust before we go hit you. So we're learning that. 955 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,919 Speaker 1: So we're watching them and we figured if we start 956 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 1: doing um helicopter interdictions as they're running back, we're gonna 957 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 1: get them. And I'll tell you what, if there's any 958 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 1: way to recruit people in a special operations, if you 959 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: had a hunted men on motorcycles from a helicopter, you 960 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: can't yet. So we're doing that every night and it's 961 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,400 Speaker 1: not like we're it's not fishing a barrel, but we're like, 962 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,399 Speaker 1: we're we're finding It was awesome and we're like giving 963 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: them like there's legit rules of engagement on the way in, 964 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: like you get them here. Okay, if you see the 965 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 1: helicopters come up, they're looking for you. If they start shooting, 966 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: by the by the way, a warning shot with minigan 967 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 1: and it's pretty freaking obvious. That's okay. We didn't miss 968 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 1: on purpose. And then that's when that's when the and 969 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,399 Speaker 1: they'll even shoot back sometimes. So so that's what we're doing. 970 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: And we were getting some pretty pretty significant guys. Wean 971 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 1: some guys would have surrendered. I went too. If I'm 972 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: looking at the black that's one thing I've heard. Oh yeah, 973 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,840 Speaker 1: you can't run from a helicopter. You're dying, So I 974 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:21,720 Speaker 1: want to get into your thoughts. Then on the Bullberg, 975 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,439 Speaker 1: well so we were doing that and then uh one one, 976 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: um not morning but night. You know, we're afternoon. We're 977 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 1: waking up, and what we do is we get a 978 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 1: coffee and we go to the talk what he has 979 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 1: been watching where we hid and and we walk into Hey, 980 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,360 Speaker 1: some dude walked off.

I actually 1001 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 1: had the ransom money in my hands. We grabbed this dude, 1002 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 1: like what is this?

But 1005 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,439 Speaker 1: we got to the point where, um, we're doing we've 1006 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 1: stopped the war on the HP t s and we're 1007 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,840 Speaker 1: actually landing on the X which we never do come 1008 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,760 Speaker 1: out blast. And that's how one of my friends, Jimmy 1009 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:53,880 Speaker 1: Hatch who who was uh testified they landed somehow on 1010 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: a on a p KM that didn't in anybody, and 1011 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: they pursued this dude. That's when that dog Remco got 1012 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 1: shot killed and um, Mike not um uh Mike, my buddy, No, 1013 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 1: nor I got a lot of ship going on.

Remco wouldn't be dead. Um, and 1018 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: then we you know, and they actually called my troop 1019 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: from our squadron into q r F because we're the 1020 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 1: closest ones there. We get this long gunfight and all 1021 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 1: this is going on because you're trying to get bow 1022 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 1: Burg Doll. There were guys getting blown up and shot 1023 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 1: and killed and maimed because he walked off of this 1024 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: man's responsibility. And then they give him because because he 1025 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 1: was a deserter and got put in a case. For 1026 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,440 Speaker 1: a while, they're saying that they what do they give 1027 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 1: him sentence? Yeah? Yeah, like a time already served. You're good. 1028 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 1: So going back to when we saw burg Doll's father 1029 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: speak at the White House, and also it was ridiculous, 1030 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 1: and and also the language he was using and all that, 1031 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering. Yeah, he said a prayer in Arabic. 1032 00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,320 Speaker 1: I'm during what your reaction was to seeing that? You 1033 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 1: don't remember that, I didn't remember the prayer in Arabic. 1034 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:06,800 Speaker 1: He came out and said some stuff just because he 1035 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 1: was trying to trying to learn the the language. So 1036 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: he said that in the Rose Garden and President why 1037 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: do you think he was using Arabic wine? Which suddenly 1038 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: because that was what shocked most people. Um, I don't know. 1039 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 1: He grew the bear down and try to be just 1040 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 1: like him. And then President Obama was I think in 1041 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 1: his defense, he was surrounded by people that wanted to 1042 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,880 Speaker 1: tell him what he wanted to hear. And because I mean, 1043 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 1: I even I meant I mentioned the ten months later 1044 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,359 Speaker 1: the Afghanistan thing. We were actually the team over there 1045 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 1: because we're gonna go get him a kaa Pakistan. So 1046 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 1: the same team from Sale Team six, they came to Briefest. 1047 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 1: They had one of Obama's team come into Briefest. Well, 1048 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 1: Bob Bergno, wasn't a deserter. He got left behind it. 1049 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 1: But she's trying to tell us this PC bullshit. I 1050 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 1: was like, when you're like said, stop right now, here's 1051 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 1: what happened. This guy's a deserter. We're gonna get right 1052 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 1: into there, into this hornets and let's just back off 1053 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 1: and let's take a pause here and talk about yeah 1054 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 1: so nuts. So then fast forward to now what we've 1055 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: heard about, you know, the sentencing of burg doll And 1056 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 1: and what's not going to be done to him. I 1057 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: just wanted to hear he's just he's he's good to go. 1058 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,160 Speaker 1: He's just uh, I mean, okay, just with discharge horrible, 1059 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 1: that's bad for you, and he's he's shamed. However, when 1060 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: he moves to Portland and someone wants to write a 1061 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 1: fucking so and then he wants to he wants to 1062 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: be a hero or the left because just because important 1063 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 1: something something some radically. I mean, we've seen some crazy 1064 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: ships something. Chelsea A lives right around here, so there 1065 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: might be roommates eventually. Who knows that they kind of 1066 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,839 Speaker 1: look alike. I don't know, but I mean that being said, 1067 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 1: I think you know, it's no little thing to hear that, 1068 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 1: and you know, not to harp on this or whatever, 1069 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna harp on it that that administration try 1070 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,239 Speaker 1: to feed you a narrative. They trying to feed us 1071 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 1: and we knew the deal, but they were feeding it 1072 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 1: to everyone else because that could potentially be politically well. 1073 00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,400 Speaker 1: How there was Mike Tucson and he was awarded the 1074 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 1: Silver Star because Jimmy got shot. He went through when 1075 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 1: he blasted those two dudes, And I think, yeah, so, 1076 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: but yeah, he's a great film.

And 1143 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: I think I think the professionalism is the night and day, 1144 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 1: because you know, we assimilate ourselves Marines, that is, we 1145 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 1: assimilate ourselves to Rangers. Quite often, it wasn't because of 1146 00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 1: their professionalism, the same reason why they get the ship 1147 00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 1: from the SF community. That's even general Stama Cristal is 1148 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 1: one of the greatest generals of all time. He was 1149 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 1: a Ranger and he was running Jaysuck and so I 1150 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: just think a lot of the funding goes uh, goes 1151 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,920 Speaker 1: goes there. I mean, I think there's funny in both places. 1152 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,480 Speaker 1: You know, I've had my run in with the both types, 1153 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 1: the guys that were eighteen x ray straight into SF 1154 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,880 Speaker 1: and then the guys that were Rangers bat Rangers and 1155 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 1: then SF, and there's a difference. There's a huge difference 1156 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 1: in the way they carry themselves. One and I'm not talking, 1157 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm not bagging on all fucking at eighteen x RA. 1158 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna make sure that you are yeah right, you 1159 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,040 Speaker 1: don't play that. He keeps it a hunted, you know, 1160 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:09,719 Speaker 1: but you can't take it away. So you know, not 1161 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 1: everybody in on it, but a majority of the guys 1162 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 1: on the x RAY program, like they're still young and 1163 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,720 Speaker 1: immature and it's hard for them to deal with responsibility 1164 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,759 Speaker 1: they're given in the soul community. That's why, Yeah, that's 1165 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 1: why I was like the pipeline from from Buds to 1166 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 1: get to Green Team because you had a certain amount 1167 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 1: of time to get there and mature in the seal. 1168 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:33,400 Speaker 1: But not only that, you're taking guys that generally didn't 1169 00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:38,359 Speaker 1: have any prior infantry based weaponeering combative. You know, that's 1170 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:42,160 Speaker 1: a huge one to infantry. And here's people ask me too, 1171 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 1: who's the best foreign special operators with whom I've ever worked? 1172 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:49,480 Speaker 1: Without question, it's the Special Boat Service, the SPS British 1173 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:55,120 Speaker 1: but not the not great but the s B because 1174 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 1: because they need to be Royal Marines, first get that 1175 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 1: infantry background. Then they sent him through and I've had 1176 00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 1: great times with that. That might be biased because I 1177 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,759 Speaker 1: worked with the basically the British Seals, so I work 1178 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,080 Speaker 1: with SPS quite a bit more, um, but just because 1179 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,960 Speaker 1: you've given that that infantry, given the intro to it 1180 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,800 Speaker 1: and how stuff works, and then send him through the 1181 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,840 Speaker 1: heart selection. We're just shooting the shift here though with 1182 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,800 Speaker 1: rob but we will take questions after because you know, 1183 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,200 Speaker 1: we love to see what you guys have, So if 1184 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,160 Speaker 1: you have any questions, definitely shoot those over for rob 1185 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,440 Speaker 1: and we'll get to those at the end. Um But 1186 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 1: another newsworthy story of course this past week in the 1187 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: Egyptian mosque attack shooting. The killed three hundred five people, 1188 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,880 Speaker 1: including twenty seven children. Uh. I mean, from what I 1189 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,240 Speaker 1: saw was like the largest shooting and modern history. Yeah, 1190 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 1: that is an attack on a Sufi mosque. And for 1191 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 1: those of you who want to delve into the like, 1192 00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,320 Speaker 1: because you gotta figure the most of them, these the 1193 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 1: most victims of Islamic terrorism are Muslims, and it's because 1194 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 1: they have where the infidels, that's become a common workers, 1195 00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 1: a lot of good that to brag about being infidels. 1196 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 1: But then those also the for and the apostate who 1197 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 1: are either hiding what they're doing or they've gone away 1198 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 1: from it. And Sufi because as soon as she had 1199 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 1: the Sufi relays them back to the very beginning and 1200 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,439 Speaker 1: that they're like the mystical part of Islam. So they're 1201 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,239 Speaker 1: the mystics, which means to a lot of especially the 1202 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 1: Wahaba Sunni, these are the witches and they are definitely 1203 00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 1: not part of the same things that they need to 1204 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 1: get rid of them, and that's why and the issue 1205 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 1: to the whole you know, trying to nail jello to 1206 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,960 Speaker 1: a wall type thing. So we took out the caliphate 1207 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 1: in Syria. They're spreading now. Egypt is pretty much lawless, 1208 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,040 Speaker 1: so is Libya, and there's a lot of places, so 1209 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,280 Speaker 1: is so Gium and Somali. That's kind of why they're moving. 1210 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,320 Speaker 1: And so they've got a pretty remember the thing in 1211 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 1: in Libyan Egypt with their cutting heads off of the 1212 00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:41,080 Speaker 1: Coptic Christians. That's moving there and there to a point 1213 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,520 Speaker 1: now there's such a lack of governance they're able to 1214 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 1: as these guys is organized suicide bombers and guns. There's 1215 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 1: people running around with the ICES flag. And this is 1216 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 1: in Egypt now, So this is this I mean, wait, 1217 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 1: wait until Philippines. It's already an in that. But we're 1218 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,280 Speaker 1: talking about the continent of Africa and where has been 1219 00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,760 Speaker 1: the big where has been the most controversy as far 1220 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 1: as operations, Well, Niger recently Niger, But that's the same 1221 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 1: thing because that they're able to spread there because the 1222 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 1: lawless borders and there's not a lot of funding there 1223 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 1: and the locals can't really fight these radical uh J hotties, 1224 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,080 Speaker 1: and so they moved into Niger. And you know, I 1225 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: mean talking about getting political um when when a lot 1226 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,960 Speaker 1: of these uh congressmen were saying, well, we didn't even 1227 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 1: know we had people in Niger. Oh really, you didn't 1228 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:29,200 Speaker 1: know about the base that we funded in yeah fourteen 1229 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,240 Speaker 1: to help the French fight in Mali. You didn't know 1230 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 1: about that? So enjoying the Senate or the House on 1231 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:34,680 Speaker 1: Services Committee, how did you not know that? We had 1232 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 1: a really good episode with Derrik Gannon a few ago. 1233 00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 1: I think what happened. He was well informed, like he 1234 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 1: broke it downs. Yeah, the US involvement, and it stems 1235 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 1: back to I think he said earlier it was like 1236 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 1: nineteen fifties something, I think fifty two or something. But see, 1237 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,440 Speaker 1: the issue is like it's like the the the political 1238 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,480 Speaker 1: correct mind of the United States governments. Even the stuff 1239 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,880 Speaker 1: in Benghazi. They're thinking, well, well, the ambassador speaks Arabic 1240 00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 1: and so we're not fighting Iraq. So but you know, 1241 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,440 Speaker 1: this is still this is all part of the levant. 1242 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,919 Speaker 1: There's no boarder. They're gonna leave Iraq and they're gonna 1243 00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,560 Speaker 1: come here and I'll kind of here they're gonna leave Syria, 1244 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna come here there. It's this is this is 1245 00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: a global jihad. They don't stop and get their passport stamp, 1246 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:21,840 Speaker 1: and of course they come here and well, you know 1247 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 1: what I think hinders us the most is the fact 1248 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,920 Speaker 1: that every four years there's a change over in our 1249 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:34,840 Speaker 1: political affiliation or a political agenda. Everybody appoints their own people, 1250 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,880 Speaker 1: everybody puts someone else in the in the Pentagon, they 1251 00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 1: put someone else in. And then so for four years 1252 00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 1: we're moving towards a goal, and then it's automatically stymied, 1253 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,200 Speaker 1: and now we're going towards something that's all political. It's 1254 00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 1: all based on party politics. I mean, even even with instability. 1255 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 1: Have you ever been given a brief by the State Department? Yeah, 1256 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 1: oh my god, talk about death by power point.

Um, I don't know what they were 1305 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,400 Speaker 1: doing I've actually asked guys that were not near but close, 1306 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 1: meaning close to the people. Uh they You know what 1307 01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,200 Speaker 1: I've heard is um um, you know, fight club gone 1308 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,200 Speaker 1: bad or some I don't think it's bad blood with 1309 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 1: even though like we were talking about inner service rivals 1310 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 1: that would never come to that. But I the one 1311 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,000 Speaker 1: thing I can say for certain is regardless of what happened, 1312 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:42,080 Speaker 1: this is a big black eye too my former command. 1313 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,080 Speaker 1: But I also think too special operations and the military, 1314 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 1: because it's bad enough, especially when we're responsible. It's not 1315 01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 1: a war zone, but it is a war zone. We 1316 01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,600 Speaker 1: gotta be able to um trust each other. And I mean, 1317 01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,240 Speaker 1: I mean even if this is a uh it obviously 1318 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,120 Speaker 1: wasn't a training training thing that went bad. And I 1319 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:00,640 Speaker 1: wish I knew more and I wish I could say 1320 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 1: something good. Yeah, because when it is a training thing 1321 01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,440 Speaker 1: gone bad, like the recent death, it was more than 1322 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 1: one death of the drowning of a Navy seal during buds, 1323 01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,720 Speaker 1: Yeah it was more than one. I think it was 1324 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,760 Speaker 1: I have to look at but either way you could 1325 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,320 Speaker 1: at least you could dismiss that too. You know, it's 1326 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:23,439 Speaker 1: rough training. Yeah, I mean, this is totally different it's inexcusable, 1327 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 1: especially what you guys do. And I wish I knew more. Again, Tom, 1328 01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to convict anybody of it. They were 1329 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 1: very very quick too to say something bad happened. And 1330 01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:34,040 Speaker 1: then you know, I mean they had to see I 1331 01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:35,360 Speaker 1: D looking into it. Now n C I has to 1332 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,000 Speaker 1: looking into it. They're going to reopen the case. I 1333 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 1: think the situation was, and we talked about this before. 1334 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 1: The situation was that the wife was told something from 1335 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:48,960 Speaker 1: the husband, which was staff star mercle wasn't um saying 1336 01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:55,320 Speaker 1: that he suspected these individuals of wanting to bring on harm, 1337 01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 1: bring harm to him or whatever because of something he discovered. 1338 01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 1: But this is just here, Sam, I I don't like. Yeah, 1339 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 1: no one likes hear say, but what I will say 1340 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,600 Speaker 1: is um for And I think what's most important to 1341 01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,040 Speaker 1: take away from this, and this is me personally. Maybe 1342 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,400 Speaker 1: you can have a different opinion on this, but for 1343 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,280 Speaker 1: those so those of you younger individuals that are planning 1344 01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,360 Speaker 1: to walk the path that this man walk. Once you're 1345 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 1: in the position where the United States government and whatever 1346 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 1: d O D you're working for trust you enough to 1347 01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,840 Speaker 1: accept you into that Tier one unit and give you 1348 01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 1: the responsibility in which you have to holdheartedly take seriously 1349 01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 1: because you're the only representative of that of our government 1350 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:37,920 Speaker 1: in that area or one of the only ones. You 1351 01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 1: have to take everything you do seriously. So the fucking around, 1352 01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,480 Speaker 1: the fun games, the goofing off and all that, you're 1353 01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,400 Speaker 1: at a different level, completely different level. And something like 1354 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,720 Speaker 1: this where there's a disagreement anything from policy just the 1355 01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 1: way the basis runt to to who gets a shower win, 1356 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 1: you take it seriously and professionally exactly, and and you 1357 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:00,480 Speaker 1: can work it out, especially with someone who's high levels 1358 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,560 Speaker 1: of sealing, a Green Beret working together. Nothing cannot be 1359 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 1: talked out between those two. And I don't know, I 1360 01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,480 Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I get it right there. 1361 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 1: I just I it just it makes me sick, and 1362 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 1: that a great man died because of something that happened. Guys, 1363 01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 1: just think before you act. You know, I'm gonna say 1364 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 1: that so many times, especially, you know, that was the 1365 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:20,720 Speaker 1: message that I try to put out there as much 1366 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,600 Speaker 1: as I can. You know, being that young, vivacious, freaking 1367 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:30,360 Speaker 1: aggressive alpha male that you are when you join these units, 1368 01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,360 Speaker 1: and when you are as a young a serviceman, you know, 1369 01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 1: we kind of have a tendency to have that that 1370 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: that fog in our mind, uh basically created or set 1371 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,440 Speaker 1: on by aggressiveness and anchor. You know, you have to 1372 01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 1: be able to set aside from yourself and say, you know, 1373 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:49,920 Speaker 1: maybe I need to look at this situation differently. And 1374 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, because you're the only one with the way 1375 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,720 Speaker 1: that I put it out to it is when you 1376 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 1: get something that really makes you mad, you want to 1377 01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:01,479 Speaker 1: send back that aggressive email, that aggressive tweet. It's okay 1378 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,480 Speaker 1: to type it. Don't hit stent for twenty four hours, 1379 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,880 Speaker 1: back up if it's If it's still bad twenty four hours, 1380 01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,760 Speaker 1: it might be bad enough to hit you. That's great advice. 1381 01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:09,840 Speaker 1: So I'll do it all the time. And all my 1382 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:11,920 Speaker 1: Twitter haters please do that to me because I'm starting. 1383 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,520 Speaker 1: It's exhausting. It's got a big exhausting want. I kind 1384 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,200 Speaker 1: of want to I know, but I want to talk 1385 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,200 Speaker 1: about that. But you will get into it after because 1386 01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,080 Speaker 1: we have a lot of questions from the audience and 1387 01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:24,720 Speaker 1: these guys always feel like they're left out, So we 1388 01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:29,320 Speaker 1: gotta get Daniel will robbed. Do you believe if more 1389 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,880 Speaker 1: NATO nations contributed more troops in Afghanistan that it would 1390 01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:36,360 Speaker 1: dramatically change the situation. It appears at times that they 1391 01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 1: could be doing more. No, I don't think, no, I 1392 01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,240 Speaker 1: don't think that putting a lot more troops in Afghanistan's 1393 01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,520 Speaker 1: gonna solve anything, because like it or not, when with 1394 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 1: regardless of intent, if you're there too long, you're an occupier, 1395 01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 1: especially something that's volto as Afghanistan. If the NATO with 1396 01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:53,880 Speaker 1: the NATO countries need to do is they start needing, 1397 01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,520 Speaker 1: start needing, They need to add more of their gross 1398 01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:02,200 Speaker 1: domestic product to NATO itself. And we can, well, we can, 1399 01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: we can perimeter, we can have we can have a 1400 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:08,560 Speaker 1: perimeter defense against certain potential enemies and use one of 1401 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:13,400 Speaker 1: the cores of freedom, which is deterrence. Um, we're gonna 1402 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:14,760 Speaker 1: come to a point where we just need to keep 1403 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,560 Speaker 1: people away from us. And uh with with the NATO 1404 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 1: guy's bucking up. I mean you see that when President 1405 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:20,720 Speaker 1: Trump brought it up at the summit, they laughed at 1406 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 1: him like they're not doing their fair share. No, kind 1407 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 1: of laughed at him because why would we when you 1408 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,720 Speaker 1: do so straightforward? Yeah, more troops on the ground not 1409 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,920 Speaker 1: necessarily good idea here, all right, Thomas gwig Net, I 1410 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,840 Speaker 1: might be pronouncing that wrong. What was it like serving 1411 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,640 Speaker 1: with Drago, who is a friend of the show. Drago 1412 01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,600 Speaker 1: is one of my best friends on the planets. Drago 1413 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 1: is one of the toughest guys I've ever met in 1414 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,600 Speaker 1: my life. Um I was. I was in my second 1415 01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 1: platoon when Drago was in like his I don't know what, 1416 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,840 Speaker 1: but and he was a total mentor to me, totally 1417 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 1: loved them. And I would see him do the coolest stuff. 1418 01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,200 Speaker 1: Like we'd be sitting down and I remember we did 1419 01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,920 Speaker 1: a fifty click hump. I was carrying a sixty and 1420 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't let anyone carry I had five D rounds 1421 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:02,680 Speaker 1: and whatever. And I was kind of looking at it 1422 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,320 Speaker 1: and like, hey, Drago, I'm running out of sugar man, 1423 01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 1: I need some tang And he's just looking at me. 1424 01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 1: Like he reached back without taking his ruck off, grabbed 1425 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 1: it where it was, and like, you know, like he 1426 01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,400 Speaker 1: was so good at everything. That was so cool. How 1427 01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,680 Speaker 1: he knew how where his gear was, he knew how 1428 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 1: to do everything. I've also seen him in a bar fight. 1429 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,439 Speaker 1: The first move he pulled was kicking a guy in 1430 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,920 Speaker 1: the face, which is not my go to. He was 1431 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:29,000 Speaker 1: just like, this is pretty hard, Like men kick him 1432 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 1: in a face and put him down. And he would 1433 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 1: he called me brother Russ, would call me Ross brother Russ. 1434 01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 1: Another beer. I'm like, I'm not gonna say no, I don't. 1435 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,200 Speaker 1: I'd rather have a drink in my mouth and a 1436 01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:43,760 Speaker 1: kick in my Dragos went and he's as of the earth. 1437 01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,000 Speaker 1: He's also a guy who's always had your back. I know, 1438 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 1: like when there were a lot of people on the attack, 1439 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,760 Speaker 1: Drawn was one of those people that's honest. And if 1440 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,200 Speaker 1: Dragon thought it was a ship back, he would have 1441 01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:53,960 Speaker 1: set it around in the bed. But he because even 1442 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,320 Speaker 1: before I've I've seen a couple of interviews where someone 1443 01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:58,160 Speaker 1: would suggest something and he didn't instantly cut him off 1444 01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:00,360 Speaker 1: because we're gonna draco a ton. You know. I worked 1445 01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,160 Speaker 1: together straight for three straight years. And then he he 1446 01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:03,600 Speaker 1: might not have told you guys this, but when the 1447 01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,000 Speaker 1: Iraq War started, he kind of vanished and he was 1448 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,960 Speaker 1: in Iraq with the grom and he would call he 1449 01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,400 Speaker 1: would call Seal Team four and ask for me, and 1450 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 1: he's like, I didn't tell them who I was. I'm like, 1451 01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,360 Speaker 1: who the fund are they thinking? Is it's you? Dude? 1452 01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:20,679 Speaker 1: I have heard the stories about them using English speaking 1453 01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,240 Speaker 1: to the Polish operators and then speaking Polish to the 1454 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 1: English American operator. Draga was a genius. I remember he 1455 01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,840 Speaker 1: remember a story Brandon was telling. That's where he used 1456 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,000 Speaker 1: to call back to the teams. He's like, I need nods. 1457 01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,760 Speaker 1: We don't have no he could do. So what do you? 1458 01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:36,600 Speaker 1: What do you do? What? What are we gonna do 1459 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:39,280 Speaker 1: to this day?

But I was 1466 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,800 Speaker 1: very young to the media thing and also never worked 1467 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:05,960 Speaker 1: with a magazine like Esquire. So I wasn't happy with 1468 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 1: the way a lot of ship went down because my 1469 01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,360 Speaker 1: point of that was trying to do it anonymously to 1470 01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,840 Speaker 1: say that there should be a retirement of like twelve 1471 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,960 Speaker 1: fifteen twenty. I knew I wasn't getting a retirement, and 1472 01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:18,720 Speaker 1: it just it should change. And I used it to 1473 01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,400 Speaker 1: try to lobby Congress and helping vets retire. They kind 1474 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,280 Speaker 1: of spun it into him ill looking at him a victim. 1475 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,920 Speaker 1: Remember that? Yeah, I mean I still Phil Brownson was 1476 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,280 Speaker 1: the author. I love the guy. Um just you didn't 1477 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,559 Speaker 1: go and the title the guy that killed and lode 1478 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,960 Speaker 1: is screwed first, like you get me right now. They 1479 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,160 Speaker 1: took away from your message. So to that, but I'll 1480 01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:38,639 Speaker 1: tell you what, that's a that's a that's a that's 1481 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,880 Speaker 1: a fall down, You get up, you learned from it. 1482 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,840 Speaker 1: I just won't do that again. But to that point, 1483 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:48,120 Speaker 1: I agree, would you. They're that you shouldn't have to 1484 01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,920 Speaker 1: wait to twenty, especially in this day and age, to retire. 1485 01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:55,200 Speaker 1: You know why because there's guys that deployed ten fucking times, yes, 1486 01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,760 Speaker 1: and they don't want to. They have seen so much 1487 01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,640 Speaker 1: death and so many of their bud is lost and 1488 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 1: so much ship they're eating day in and day out 1489 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,439 Speaker 1: that it becomes impossible for them to do their job 1490 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,720 Speaker 1: and they have to walk away because it affects them. 1491 01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:11,720 Speaker 1: One good thing about that Esquire article, though, to help 1492 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,479 Speaker 1: me launch my foundation.

Murphy. We'll take a handful 1533 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:18,760 Speaker 1: more of these because they're they're good questions. A great stuff. UM. 1534 01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:21,840 Speaker 1: A lot of talk about rules of engagement. How have 1535 01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:26,000 Speaker 1: strict rules of engagement affected your service? It got to 1536 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:29,840 Speaker 1: the point where it's putting soldiers, marines, special operators in 1537 01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:34,200 Speaker 1: danger because I remember in Iraq when we first started fighting, 1538 01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:37,560 Speaker 1: we had we had a latitude you can kill this 1539 01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:40,280 Speaker 1: many people if it kills a terrorist. And then it 1540 01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,440 Speaker 1: got to a point, right when I was leaving Afghanistan 1541 01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,639 Speaker 1: getting in a gunfight, watching them run into a cave 1542 01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,519 Speaker 1: trying to call in hell fires and they you'd hear 1543 01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,759 Speaker 1: from someone two hundred miles away burning his lips on coffee, 1544 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,479 Speaker 1: which you probably got a purple heart for saying. We're 1545 01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,439 Speaker 1: not saying there are women and children in that cave 1546 01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:59,240 Speaker 1: where we can't prove they're not that. So it got 1547 01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,439 Speaker 1: really really bad, and I don't need a I don't 1548 01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 1: need one of my guys coming. Like when you get 1549 01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:08,000 Speaker 1: in c QUB and you're in a live gunfight, target 1550 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 1: identifications very very fast. If you're wondering in that split 1551 01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,120 Speaker 1: second where you take the shot to the head because 1552 01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:14,519 Speaker 1: he might be weren't in vest Wait a minute, what 1553 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:18,040 Speaker 1: if he's gonna kill you? And if it puts Americans 1554 01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:19,720 Speaker 1: in danger? And again I have I have a fun 1555 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,519 Speaker 1: theory on rules of engagement. The guy that's writing them 1556 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,280 Speaker 1: as he's in the talk typing them up, they need 1557 01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:26,839 Speaker 1: to have at least two dudes with a k shooting 1558 01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 1: at him as he's typing, just so he kind of 1559 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:35,840 Speaker 1: gets a field.

That's it, and your and your team. 1627 01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 1: You know, he helps people think you were crazy, that 1628 01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,200 Speaker 1: you're not only not a strike bare. I didn't know 1629 01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 1: I could keep myself alive. I didn't know an as 1630 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,560 Speaker 1: Strokes and uh, I mean some of the advice that 1631 01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 1: I got, and I probably mentioned this last time was 1632 01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,600 Speaker 1: before we started Hell week. I mentioned Instructor A in 1633 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 1: the book. He said, you're about to go to it's 1634 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:03,960 Speaker 1: a mentality. You're about to go to war for the 1635 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:05,880 Speaker 1: first time, and the enemy is all your doubts, all 1636 01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,160 Speaker 1: your fears, and everyone you know back home that told 1637 01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,000 Speaker 1: you you weren't good enough to do this, you know, 1638 01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:11,880 Speaker 1: keep your head down, keep moving forward no matter what, 1639 01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,400 Speaker 1: never quit. You're gonna be fine. Because the guy's back 1640 01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:17,800 Speaker 1: in Montana. But none of us swim in Montana. Like 1641 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:19,599 Speaker 1: you're joined to be a seal. There's no way you're 1642 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:21,280 Speaker 1: gonna make it. So I think of them, and all 1643 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,280 Speaker 1: I gotta do is try to keep your hips up, 1644 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,479 Speaker 1: fin as hard as you can and say straight. And 1645 01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,400 Speaker 1: it worked. And I mean even even going through seal training, 1646 01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,840 Speaker 1: it was I'm not gonna quit. I'll probably not make 1647 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:33,479 Speaker 1: it because of a swim, but I'm not gonna quit. 1648 01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:35,160 Speaker 1: I'll just pass this swim and then whatever, and you 1649 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,760 Speaker 1: pass that swim, Okay, passed that swim. I just want 1650 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:42,120 Speaker 1: to clarify because I think it is an injustice to 1651 01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:46,000 Speaker 1: some of the people listening right now. They might misconstrue 1652 01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:48,799 Speaker 1: what you're saying is by not preparing for the misery 1653 01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:53,280 Speaker 1: and not preparing at all. It's no, no, no, it's different. 1654 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,240 Speaker 1: If you can, if you can do ups right now, 1655 01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:58,080 Speaker 1: get to forty, that's goddamn right. If you if if 1656 01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:00,040 Speaker 1: you can run, if you can run a seven in 1657 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,439 Speaker 1: a mile, run a six minute mile, definitely get better. 1658 01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:05,519 Speaker 1: Just don't do unnecessary like taking a cold shower is 1659 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,479 Speaker 1: not going to the misery is something that's deep down 1660 01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:11,320 Speaker 1: inside of you. That's that's something that has been said 1661 01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:15,000 Speaker 1: so many times before. There's there's nothing to prepare you 1662 01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:18,680 Speaker 1: for something that you've never been through. A sense of 1663 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:22,360 Speaker 1: humor will help. Laughing with your buddy, um, stuff like that. 1664 01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:25,800 Speaker 1: Don't be the one that's not in shape. Don't definitely 1665 01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,559 Speaker 1: prepare every way you can't except for the dump ship 1666 01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:30,720 Speaker 1: and the like. Little stuff too, us like don't don't 1667 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:32,560 Speaker 1: run on the concrete and boots. You're gonna get a 1668 01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,360 Speaker 1: chance when a tennis you's get faster, get faster, get 1669 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:40,080 Speaker 1: that cardio. Don't worry about the suck. Suck is your comes. 1670 01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,040 Speaker 1: Actually that's your mind. That's your mind. The suck is 1671 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:45,280 Speaker 1: gonna come. So here's how nobody owes you anything exactly. 1672 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:50,160 Speaker 1: Here's another on YouTube, Hey Rob, how difficult was Sniper 1673 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:54,160 Speaker 1: School compared to Buds and Green Team? Sniper School was 1674 01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:59,040 Speaker 1: a different animal because it it that's another one that's 1675 01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,640 Speaker 1: hard to prepare for it to you get taught. You 1676 01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 1: gott like keeping memory games, You've got the hard What 1677 01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 1: I found the most difficult. Sniper school was stalking because 1678 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:09,120 Speaker 1: I grew up hunting hard. I grew up hunting, so 1679 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:11,040 Speaker 1: I thought I was I was arrogant. I know how 1680 01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:14,559 Speaker 1: to camouflage myself. No you don't. And so so you've 1681 01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:17,000 Speaker 1: got train sniper's looking at you and you've got to 1682 01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:19,439 Speaker 1: learn the way. And this is where you learn in life. 1683 01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:21,360 Speaker 1: How do how do I ask questions? Find a sniper 1684 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:23,640 Speaker 1: and ask him, um, what did you do? How do 1685 01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:24,800 Speaker 1: you do this? How do you set it up? What 1686 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,320 Speaker 1: does it look like? Um? So it was, it was 1687 01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:29,639 Speaker 1: that was a hard course. I forget how long seals 1688 01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 1: Sealsniper like nine weeks or ten weeks, just as long 1689 01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:35,639 Speaker 1: as ours was designed of years. Yeah, Carl's hath Kunk 1690 01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:38,880 Speaker 1: designed Navy Seal Sniper. Yeah yeah, and um so he 1691 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:43,040 Speaker 1: designed it. It was hard. Oh yeah. The baddest I 1692 01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:46,559 Speaker 1: mean not the baddest, Well yeah, he's he's the one 1693 01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:48,920 Speaker 1: who aspired to be and the I mean the inspired me. 1694 01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 1: You know. But then as you go when you start learning, 1695 01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:55,120 Speaker 1: and he was like that, that's a bad I don't 1696 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:56,800 Speaker 1: think that Greg didn't learn from Karlos. I mean the 1697 01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,559 Speaker 1: same exactly. We're all inspired. But I mean the difference. 1698 01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:01,360 Speaker 1: And you know something too that I tell the young 1699 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,760 Speaker 1: kids too, is, um, don't forget about math. You need 1700 01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,240 Speaker 1: to know math. And I was talking, like I said, 1701 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,479 Speaker 1: at the high school last week in Montana, and I 1702 01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:11,519 Speaker 1: shouldn't said it. I'm talking high schoolcause I was gonna 1703 01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:13,960 Speaker 1: chemistry and all the other ship fun that learn math 1704 01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,479 Speaker 1: and English and physics, and you're gonna do stuff. You know, 1705 01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 1: what's one thing I wanted to ask you? Unless you're 1706 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:23,240 Speaker 1: gonna be a chemist? Sorry chemist chemistry, but cook meth? 1707 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:26,840 Speaker 1: What was that line? I heard? Hey, by the way, 1708 01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,080 Speaker 1: if the if the if the dude deal in your 1709 01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:36,639 Speaker 1: meth has all his teeth, he's a cop. You eat yogurt. 1710 01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:41,680 Speaker 1: So in your book, you talked about getting out, and 1711 01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:44,519 Speaker 1: then you talked about being faced or the reality of 1712 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:47,920 Speaker 1: your disposition on getting out. You were a retired one, 1713 01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:51,679 Speaker 1: and we talked about this. You didn't have a your degree, Nope, 1714 01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,640 Speaker 1: you're fresh from sucking high school. You didn't have no 1715 01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 1: real world experience. Where are you now with that? Well, 1716 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,320 Speaker 1: now it's in with my foundation, your grateful nation. The 1717 01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,240 Speaker 1: whole reason that we did that was because Um, I 1718 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:10,080 Speaker 1: learned stuff in the Navy that prepared me for the 1719 01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,640 Speaker 1: private sector, which is um. A lot of these employers 1720 01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:15,560 Speaker 1: they're tired of people coming out of college with a 1721 01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,920 Speaker 1: degree but no loyalty. And that's why you're gratefully so 1722 01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,040 Speaker 1: successful because a lot of veterans, they have all these 1723 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:24,080 Speaker 1: trades and and a lot of these companies say we, um, 1724 01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna we want those trades. We'll teach you the job, 1725 01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:32,679 Speaker 1: and we've got You're great not a tradition, but promotion 1726 01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:34,720 Speaker 1: rate because of the people were sending them, because that's 1727 01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,120 Speaker 1: what you learn in the military. You get these skills 1728 01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,599 Speaker 1: you can't teach in the classroom. I gave a speech 1729 01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,360 Speaker 1: to a bunch of professors to the day and I said, 1730 01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,760 Speaker 1: I said, let's get something straight right now. Um, saying 1731 01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:47,240 Speaker 1: you have experience because you went to college is like 1732 01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 1: saying you're not hungry because you memorize the menu. You 1733 01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:52,920 Speaker 1: gotta get out there and do it. And especially war 1734 01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,880 Speaker 1: combat faces, they have those skills that.
